Serum sRAGE as a potential biomarker for pediatric bronchiolitis: a pilot study.

abstract：:Antidromic stimulation of vagal sensory nerves is known to produce plasma extravasation in the rat trachea. This neurogenic inflammation is thought to be mediated by substance P or other tachykinins released from sensory nerve endings. We sought to determine whether calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is als...
