The mechanisms of IVIG-resistant KD have been analyzed using the patients’ leukocyte samples. However, vascular endothelial cells (ECs), closely related to the vasculitis of KD, have not been examined in the previous reports. We propose a hypothesis that ECs are mainly involved in the etiology of IVIG-resistance. Methods: The purpose of this study is to establish new in vitro disease models of vasculitis using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) tech- nology, and clarify the mechanisms of IVIG-resistance in KD. Dermal fibroblasts or T cells from 2 IVIG-resistant and 2 IVIG-responsive KD patients were reprogrammed by episomal vectors encoding Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, L-Myc, LIN28, and p53 shRNA. The iPSC lines were then differentiated into ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) by using a previously-reported differentiation method, and the EC and SMC samples were subjected to the microarray analyses. Results: The KD patient-derived iPSCs could be differentiated into Figure 1. a-c: Kaplan Meier curves showing no significant ECs and SMCs.

To improve outcomes and survival during this time, referred to as the “interstage period”, multiple strategies have been successfully implemented resulting in improved interstage survival. A critical element of interstage care is family education and training. Variations in practice and interstage home surveillance do exist but general guidelines are described below.

EYGELAAR Departments of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, and the Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands In 64 children with transposition of the great arteries who underwent a Blalock-Hanlon pro- cedure, pre- and postoperative electrocardiograms were studied regarding the incidence and nature of rhythm disturbances. In another group of 19 patients with transposition of the great arteries, the atrial septal defect was created by a different surgical technique (fossa ovalis resection); this group was studied in the same way and the results were compared. After the Blalock-Hanlon procedure seven patients developed arrhythmias including atrio- ventricular (A-V) dissociation, wandering pacemaker, bradycardia, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, supraventricular premature beats, and ectopic atrial rhythm. After fossa ovalis resection rhythm disturbances were present in three patients.

  • Dye Dilution Curves After the Artificial Atrial Septostomy in Three Infants with the Transposition of the Great Vessels
    Pohoku J. exp. Med., 1970, 100, 39-46 Dye Dilution Curves after the Artificial Atrial Septostomy in Three Infants with the Transposition of the Great Vessels Hiroshi Onoki, Tetsuo Sato, Ichiki Kano and Keiko Mochizuki Department of Pediatrics (Prof. Ts. Arakawa), Faculty of Medicine, Tohoku University, Sendai Hemodynamic consequences after the Rashkind and Miller balloon atrial septostomy were successfully evaluated by means of the dye dilution technic in three infants with the complete transposition of the great vessels. The complete transposition of the great vessels has been the most common cause of death in infants born with congenital malformations of the heart; accord ing to Boesen1 forty-two per cent of the patients with this anomaly succumbed within one month of life and seventy-three per cent within the first three months of life. In 1964 Mustard2 reported a case of the transposition of the great vessels in which the successful result of the radical operation was obtained by adopting a two-stage correction technic; that is, creation of an atrial septal defect was done by Blalock-Hanlon's procedure with thoracotomy when 20 days of life, then successful radical operation was carried out at the age of 18 months. In 1966 Rashkind and Miller3 devised a method for the creation of an atrial septal defect without thoracotomy as a palliative approach to the complete transposi tion of the great vessels. Then in 1968, Rashkind and Miller4 reported thirty-one infants with the transposition of the great vessels who were subjected to the balloon atrial septostomy of theirs with a marked improvement in the interatrial blood commu nication.
