Is the silencing of RECK gene associated with promoter hypermethylation and poor survival in hepatocellular carcinoma?
The results suggested that the hypermethylation may lead to promoter silencing of RECK mRNA and associated with poor survival in HCC.
Oral administration of candesartan improves survival and decreases myocardial damage in mice with viral myocarditis and induces expression of cardiac adiponectin. The induction of adiponectin might provide cardioprotective effects against acute heart failure due to viral myocarditis.
