Risk Factors for Failure of Initial Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment in Kawasaki Disease
차성호,윤민정,안용주,한미영,윤경림 대한의학회 2008 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.23 No.4
The aims of this study were to determine the occurrence and variables associated with the initial intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment failure in Kawasaki disease (KD) and to categorize differences in clinical characteristics between responders and nonresponders to initial IVIG treatment. Patients were classified into two groups. Group A included 33 patients who received a single dose of IVIG treatment and responded. Group B included 18 patients who received more than two doses of IVIG due to failure of the initial treatment. The mean duration of fever after initial treatment in group B was significantly longer than it was in group A. In group B, we found that higher bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) (%), and lower platelet values at baseline were independent predictors of persistent or recurrent fever in patients with KD. Coronary artery abnormalities were found in 8 patients (44.4%) in group B and in two patients (6.1%) in group A. We found that abnormal liver function tests and a lower platelet count at baseline were possible predictors of nonresponders to IVIG in patients with KD. There is a need for a prospective study focused on baseline hepatobiliary parameters.

Enterovirus infections occur throughout the year, but in temperate climates infections are strikingly more prevalent in the summer and autumn. About 50~80% of nonpolio enteroviral infections are completely asymptomatic. The fecal-oral route is thought to be the predominant mode of enterovirus transmission, because viral shedding from the gastrointestinal tract is more prolonged than is shedding from the upper respiratory tract. Even symptomatic infections usually produce undifferentiated febrile illnesses lasting a few days, and often accompanied by symptoms of upper respiratory tract. It has been known that the most common cause of aseptic meningitis is enteroviruses, and this type of meningitis demonstrates benign clinical course and the absence of signs of parenchymal brain involvement. We could see many children with meningitis in the summer of 2008. Among 1,922 children with aseptic meningitis from 1 week to 29 weeks of 2008, 882 (49.9%) was 3~6 years old, and 883 (50.1%) was 7~14 years old. Echovirus 30 (60%) and Echovirus 6 (30%) caused large outbreaks throughout South Korea from May to August 2008, which was analyzed by the Division of Enteric and Hepatitis Viruses, National Institute of Health in Seoul, Korea.

Background: The topographical cue is major influence on skeletal muscle cell culture because the structure is highly organized and consists of long parallel bundles of multinucleated myotubes that are formed by differentiation and fusion of myoblast satellite cells. In this technical report, we fabricated a multiscale scaffold using electrospinning and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel micropatterns to monitor the cell behaviors on nano- and micro-alignment combined scaffolds with different combinations of angles. Results: We fabricated multiscale scaffolds that provide biocompatible and extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic environments via electrospun nanofiber and PEG hydrogel micro patterning. MTT assays demonstrated an almost four-fold increase in the proliferation rate during the 7 days of cell culture for all of the experimental groups. Cell orientation and elongation were measured to confirm the myogenic potential. On the aligned fibrous scaffolds, more than 90% of the cells were dispersed ± 20° of the fiber orientation. To determine cell elongation, we monitored nuclei aspect ratios. On a random nanofiber, the cells demonstrated an aspect ratio of 1.33, but on perpendicular and parallel nanofibers, the aspect ratio was greater than 2. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression was significantly higher i) on parallel compared to random fibers, ii) the 100 μm compared to the 200 μm line pattern. We confirmed the disparate trends of myotube formation that can be provoked through multi-dimensional scaffolds. Conclusion: We studied more favorable environments that induce cell alignment and elongation for myogenesis by combining nano- and micro-scale patterns. The fabricated system can serve as a novel multi-dimensional platform to study in vitro cell behaviors.
