Do outcome of balloon pulmonic valvuloplasty with 18 months follow up?
Balloon pulmonic valvuloplasty is safe and effective in reducing pulmonic valve gradient acutely and the benefit persists till 18 months. Further fall in pulmonic valve gradient is seen in intermediate term follow up.
3Cpro, apart from other picornaviral 3C proteases, induces caspase-independent cell death, accompanying by cytoplasmic vacuolization. 3Cpro-induced vacuoles have unique properties and are formed from several organelle types of the endosomal/lysosomal compartment. The data obtained demonstrate previously undocumented morphological characters of the 3Cpro-induced cell death, which can reflect unknown aspects of the human hepatitis A virus-host cell interaction.
