the plasma levels of chemokines(RANTES and Gro-α) was undertaken according to the clinical
stage of Kawasaki disease.
Methods : This investigation included 74 samples from 21 patients(10 boys, 11 girls; mean age,

Purpose : Spirometry, because of its simplicity and reproducibility, has been used to evaluate pulmonary function in childhood asthma. We investigated whether FEF25-75% is the most sensitive parameter among other spirometric parameters in the diagnosis of pulmonary function and airway obstruction.
Methods : This study included 32 children with asthma. We recorded values of spirometry(FVC, FEV1, PEFR, and FEF25-75%) before and... |
