1. Serum proteins were studied in 106 children ranging from 3 to 14 years using a modification of Laurell's method of quantitative immunoelectrophoresis. 2. Quantitative values are given for eleven proteins, viz.: α1 lipoprotein, α1 antitrypsin, α1 easily precipitable glycoprotein, α1 group specific component, α2 macroglobulin, caeruloplasmin, haptoglobin, transferrin, haemopexin, β lipoprotein, and β1AC(C3). 3. There were no significant differences in protein levels between the sexes, and no correlation between age and protein level within the age range studied. 4. The values were also compared with those of infants aged 6–12 months, young adults of 16–25 years, and adults of 16–65 years.

AbstractObesity-related inflammation is associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and pulmonary diseases. The aim of this study was to demonstrate associations between adiposity measurements and levels of inflammation-related plasma proteins in a population of young adults. Subjects from a population-based birth cohort with a mean age of 22.5 years were included in the study population (n = 2074). Protein levels were analyzed using the Olink Proseek Multiplex Inflammation panel. Percentage body fat (%BF) and visceral fat rating (VFR) measurements were collected using Tanita MC 780 body composition monitor. Linear regression of standardized values was used to investigate associations. Potential effect modifications by sex and BMI category were assessed. Of 71 investigated proteins, 54 were significantly associated with all adiposity measurements [%BF, body mass index (BMI), VFR and waist circumference]. Among proteins associated with %BF, seven showed a larger or unique association in overweight/obese subjects and three showed a significant effect modification by sex. Fourteen proteins more strongly associated with VFR in females compared to males. Adipose-associated systemic inflammation was observed in this young adult population. Sex and adiposity localization influenced some of the associations. Our results highlight specific proteins as suitable biomarkers related to adiposity.

A new trend of myocarditis among young adults who received mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 is emerging. We present the case of a young adult who presented with chest pain 3 days after the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. He had elevated troponin I and C-reactive protein levels at the time of admission. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram findings were unremarkable. The patient improved with conservative management and was discharged home the next day.
