PCD failure was related to a small CFA diameter and to a severely calcified CFA. Failure could largely be managed with minimally invasive techniques such as covered stents or fascia suturing.
Simulated ECC induces the increased expression of some leukocyte markers. Glyceryl-tri-nitrate addition significantly reduces the expression of some leukocyte activation markers.
S. AUREUS growth is not due to the effect of nitric oxide on the innate immune system but from its effect on the bacteria itself. It has been shown that nitric oxide stimulates the expression of inducible lactate dehydrogenase, specific to S. AUREUS, which improves its resistance to oxidative stress, and may give S. AUREUS a survival advantage resulting in increased growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
