Role of chymase-dependent angiotensin II formation in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertensive rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Neonatal mortality and morbidity are increasingly recognized as important globally, but detailed estimates of neonatal morbidity from conditions and long-term consequences are yet to be published. METHODS:We describe the general methods for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and modeling used in this supple...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Preterm infants have a greater risk of necrotizing enterocolitis following transfusion. It is hypothesized that high glucose concentrations in red blood cell (RBC) preservatives lead to increased methylglyoxal (MG) metabolism, causing glycation-driven damage to transfused RBCs. Such changes to the RBCs could...
