Does cathepsin S contribute to macrophage migration via degradation of elastic fibre integrity to facilitate vein graft neointimal hyperplasia?
These results demonstrated that Cat S contributes to macrophage migration via degradation of elastic fibre integrity to facilitate neointima formation of vein grafts, which might provide a novel therapeutic target for preserving vein graft patency.
BWT was correlated with IPP, the storage symptom subscore, and the responsiveness of storage symptoms to alpha-blockers in LUTS/benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. As BWT increased, the responsiveness of storage symptoms to alpha-blocker decreased in LUTS/BPH patients.
