The Effects of Tai Chi Training in Patients with Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

abstract：:Cotton rats are one of the experimental rodents used for testing different infectious and non-infectious diseases, including gastrointestinal tract pathology. However, their intestinal morphological characteristics are still poorly understood. Here, we clarified the anatomical and histological characteristics of the c...
