| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
EMPs could serve as a sensitive marker for characterizing the severity of endothelial damage and vasculitis in acute KD. Moreover, these specific miRs, hsa-miR-145-5p and hsa-miR-320a, may participate in modulation of inflammatory cytokine expression levels, and may contribute to pathogenesis of vasculitis in acute KD. Our novel findings might offer a new clinical approach for the treatment of KD. Further efforts are needed to develop the highly efficient molecular targeting therapies for KD.
