Peri-operative myocardial tissue injury and the release of inflammatory mediators in coronary artery bypass graft patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Neointimal hyperplasia is a central feature in the pathogenesis of a variety of vascular pathologies. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are involved in the downstream transduction of signals from receptors for many of the molecules known to be instrumental in this process and thus represent a potential...
