RISK-FACTORS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (REVIEW).

The treatment of coronary arteries disease (CAD) and the prevention of their complications, intervention on the coronary arteries is usually recommended. In this review, with the aim of improving the treatment outcomes of patients with CAD, requiring percutaneous coronary intervention and/or coronary artery bypass grafting,risk factors of developing coronary syndrome are discussed. Understanding the causes of the disturbance of coronary artery conduction will provide a new perspective for improving patient treatment outcomes.

5-Hydroxytryptamine induced excitation and inhibition in the subthalamic nucleus: action at 5-HT(2C), 5-HT(4) and 5-HT(1A) receptors.

Extracellular single-unit recordings in mouse brain slices were used to determine the effect of exogenously applied 5-HT on STN neurones. Recordings were made from 74 STN cells which fired action potentials at a regular rate of 7.19+/-0.
