Role of endothelin-1 and interleukin-4 in buccal mucosal ulcer healing: effect of chronic alcohol ingestion.

abstract：:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of vision loss among working-age populations in developed countries. Current treatment options are limited to tight glycemic, blood pressure control and destructive laser surgery. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a group of enzymes involving in the rapid conversion of carbon...
