Anterior thoracic myelomeningocele presenting as a retromediastinal mass. Case report.

abstract：:Lysosomal proteases, although tightly regulated under physiological conditions, are known to contribute to cell injury after various forms of tissue ischemia have occurred. Because cathepsin B is a prominent lysosomal protease found in brain parenchyma, the authors hypothesized that it may contribute to neuronal cell ...
