Does blockade of spinal nerves attenuate myocardial apoptosis in acute myocardial ischaemia/infarction in rats?
The findings may indicate blockade of spinal nerves could reduce apoptosis of myocardium in acute myocardial ischaemia and infarction.
Young children show larger initial annulus sizes than older children. However, annulus diameters tend to normalize in young children, whereas they increase in older children. Autograft regurgitation develops slowly, but significantly, and predominantly in older children. Stabilizing measures to prevent autograft root dilatation are warranted in adolescents, but they are not required in young children.
