Does perioperative supplementation with ascorbic acid prevent atrial fibrillation in coronary artery bypass graft patients?

MPT64 activated RAW264.7 macrophage to secrete IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α; it might down-regulate apoptosis of macrophage partially via caspase-3 pathway. Furthermore, the effect of MPT64 on RAW264.7 macrophage could be modulated by IFN-γ, and co-stimulation of MPT64 with IFN-γ was conducive to the host immune, which might be applied for vaccine design and provide a reference for the treatment of tuberculosis.
