Do endothelial cells regulate proximal tubule epithelial cell sodium transport?
Endothelial cells regulate PTEC function. This effect is mediated by NO synthase-dependent up-regulation of cGMP in PTECs.
Our study demonstrates that pain relief and restoration of functional activity are highly correlated with increasing patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty. The results also indicate that the quadriceps is important for patient satisfaction and restoration of functional activity following total knee arthroplasty.
