Matrix Metalloproteinases, Tissue Inhibitors and Cytokines in Patients with Kawasaki Disease
Ae Ra Cho, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(6):656-664.   Published online June 15, 2004
Purpose : Kawasaki disease(KD) is a multisystemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology, but immunological abnormalities have been documented and implicated in the pathogenesis of KD. Matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) have proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins, and increased activity of MMPs and a quantitative imbalance between MMP and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP) can result in several pathologic conditions. MMP and TIMP...
Comparison of Cytokine Expressions among Kawasaki Disease and Its Symptom-related Diseases

Purpose : Kawasaki disease(KD) is an important acute febrile systemic vasculitis disease. Various cytokines have been studied to evaluate the pathogenesis of vascular injury. Some cytokines have been implicated for vascular injury, but there has been no direct evidence. We compared cytokine profiles of KD with Henoch-Sch nlein purpura(HSP), and febrile infections. Methods : We investigated the serum concentrations of...

Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome was first described as a new clinical disease by Kawasaki in Japan in 1967. Recently, there have been numerous reports of this disease throughout the world and mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome has become familiar to the pediatrician. Complications previously described include coronary arteritis, carditis and gall bladder hydrops, aseptic meningitis and arthritis. We experienced 1 case of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome...

The superficial lymph nodes may be enlarged in consequence of biologic or non-biologic antigenic stimuli, lymphoreticular maligna ntneoplasm, metastatic tumor or infiltrative disorders such as histiocytosis-X, and biopsy of the enlarged superficial lymph node is a time-honored diagnostic, therapeutic and follow-up tool. At present it is performed with ease and wideness. But in Korea there is no comprehensive studies about...
