Purpose This study investigated the epidemiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants ≤3-month-old. MethodsTo study the epidemiology of KD in Korea, data for 27,851 KD patients were collected on a 3-year basis between 2000 and 2008 in a retrospective survey. From this, data for 609 KD patients ≤3-month-old were analyzed and compared with the data for KD patients >3-month-old. ResultsThe 609 KD patients... |

Purpose Synthesis of regulated on activation, normal T-cells expressed and secreted (RANTES) in the airway has previously been shown to be elevated after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. However, since few studies have examined whether RSV-infected asthma patients express a higher level of RANTES than do normal individuals, we used a murine model of asthma to address this question. MethodsWe prepared Dermatophagoides... |

The major pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory process that results from a diversity of injuries to the body. Due to the various cytokines and vasoactive peptides released from the endothelium, the vascular permeability is increased; the migration of inflammatory cells and the leakage of plasma proteins then occur and edema develops in the alveolus. There... |

Purpose : It has been suggested that immunologic abnormalities play a role in the
pathogenesis of vascular injury in Kawasaki disease and the immunologic abnormalities
could be regulated by high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG). We investigated
the peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, the serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) and
tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and the effect of high-dose IVIG(400 mg/kg/day for
