A new technique for exposure of the cervical spine laminae. Technical note.

abstract：:In a previous study, the authors demonstrated that meningioma cells secrete platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-like molecules that stimulate their own growth in an autocrine manner. Based on that finding, a study was undertaken to examine the effect of trapidil, a drug known to have an antagonistic action against P...
