Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of early childhood that can result in permanent coronary artery structural damage. The cause for this arterial vulnerability up to 15% patients with KD unknown. Vascular smooth muscle cell dedifferentiation play a key role the pathophysiology medial damage and aneurysm formation, recognized pathology KD. Platelet hyperreactivity also hallmark We recently demonstrated uptake platelets platelet-derived miRNAs influences vascular phenotype vivo.

Abstract Although Kawasaki disease is the main cause of acquired heart in children, no diagnostic biomarkers are available. We aimed to identify candidate for diagnosing using serum exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs). Using frozen samples from a biobank, high-throughput microarray technologies, two-stage real-time quantitative PCR, and self-referencing strategy data normalization, we narrowed down list biomarker candidates set 4 miRNAs. further validated capabilities identified miRNAs (namely, C T...

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive malignancy that often resistant to therapy. Nowadays, chemotherapy still one of the main methods for treatment ESCC. However, multidrug resistance (MDR)-mediated leading causes death. Exploring agents able reverse MDR, which thereby increase sensitivity with clinical first-line drugs, could significantly improve cancer treatment. Cepharanthine hydrochloride (CEH) has ability MDR in ESCC and mechanism involved have not been reported....

Aim To explore whether aspirin is necessary for treatment in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods Nine hundred ten patients who fulfilled criteria KD and maintained follow‐up 2 years were included this retrospective study. All initially received a single dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG, g/kg) phase. Patients classified into three groups according to doses aspirin. Group 1 152 cases treated with IVIG only 672 plus 3–5 mg/kg/day as low‐dose group, group 3 86 30–50...

ABSTRACT Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis syndrome that leads to coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). While echocardiography the most important imaging modality for assessment, specific diagnostic biomarker complementary CAA has not been reported. We aimed analyze profiles of exosomal miRNAs extracted from serum KD patients and controls identify candidate biomarkers CAA.
