Effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on coronary microcirculation, inflammation and cardiac function in patients with CHD after PCI: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the common cardiovascular diseases that seriously jeopardise human health, and endothelial inflammation and dyslipidaemia are the initiating links leading to its occurrence.Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for CHD with narrowed or blocked bl
Addition of Lateral Ganglionic Eminence to Rat Mesencephalic Grafts Affects Fiber Outgrowth but Does not Enhance Function
Addition of embryonic striatal tissue, usually as a combination of the lateral and medial ganglionic eminences, to intrastriatal mesencephalic grafts has previously been reported to enhance recovery of drug-induced rotational behavior in the host and to modify axonal fiber outgrowth from the grafted dopaminergic neurons.This study investigated the
