Effect of passive smoking on blood lymphocyte apoptosis in children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Urotensin II plays a role in myocardial remodelling. Cardiac fibroblasts play a critical role in the development of cardiac fibrosis. The effect of hypoxia on urotensin II expression in cardiac fibroblasts is poorly understood. We sought to investigate the regulation of urotensin II by hypoxia in cardiac fib...
