The safety and effectiveness of clopidogrel versus aspirin in Kawasaki disease with mild-to-moderate liver injury.

Kawasaki disease can be combined with liver injury. As a mainstay treatment for Kawasaki disease, aspirin may cause liver injury. This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of clopidogrel versus aspirin in Kawasaki disease with mild-to-moderate liver injury.

The microbial communities in , free amino acids in raw liquor, and their correlations for raw liquor production.

liquor (WLFL), a specific Chinese traditional liquor, one of the major type of global distilled spirits, offers a unique flavor system acquired across thousands of years of development. Free amino acids (FAAs), as major health factors, are considered to be primarily derive from the hydrolysis of protein from the (ZPs) by microbial populations during fermentation. Here, we investigated the changes of microbial communities in ZPs and FAAs in raw liquor (RL) directly related ZPs from different ages of WLFL fermentation pits by phospholipid fatty acid fingerprint (PLFA) and high performance liquid chromatography method.

Receptor for advanced glycation end products involved in circulating endothelial cells release from human coronary endothelial cells induced by C-reactive protein.

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effect of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), S100A12 and C-reactive protein (CRP) on the release of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) from human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs).

Materials And Methods: HCAECs were cultured in increasing concentration of CRP (0, 12.5, 25, 50μg/ml) or S100A12 protein (0, 4, 10, 25μg/ml) for 24 hr.

[Six Kawasaki disease patients with acute coronary artery thrombosis].

Objective: To improve the awareness of acute coronary artery thrombosis in Kawasaki disease (KD).

Method: Six KD patients with acute coronary artery thrombosis (Jan. 2004 to Jan.

Cardioprotection of H2S by downregulating iNOS and upregulating HO-1 expression in mice with CVB3-induced myocarditis.

Aims: To explore the effects and potential mechanisms of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in CVB3-induced mice with myocarditis.

Main Methods: A total of 75 six-week-old inbred male Balb/c mice were divided randomly into four groups (N, C, P and S). Group N was the negative control.
