Purpose : Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of lower respiratory disease, especially in children and young adults. The diagnosis, in most cases, is confirmed by serology. M. pneumoniae is difficult to culture because of its fastidious nature, and growth is too slow for diagnostic use. In this prospective study, the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR assay was evaluated... |

Purpose : Pulmonary function test is one of the most important tools in the management of
patients with respiratory tract diseases and allergic diseases. In recent years pulmonary function
tests have had a wide application in clinical pulmonary diseases. But, there were a few trials of
pulmonary function test in normal children. So We performed spirometry-based pulmonary function
tests of normal children.
Methods : We... |

We have studied the function of lymphokines on human tonsillar B cell proliferation and differentiation. B cells were stimulated with Staphylococcus aureus Cowan1(SAC) or anti-μ bead.
The followings showed the results of this study.
1) In B cell activation, SAC induced B cell DNA synthesis but anti-μ bead did not. SAC could activate and proliferate B cells. Minimal number of B cells... |
