- * Five trials were included in the analysis, showing that L-arginine significantly lowered diastolic blood pressure by an average of 3.07 mmHg and extended gestation by 1.23 weeks, while not affecting systolic blood pressure.
- * The findings suggest that L-arginine can help manage diastolic blood pressure and improve pregnancy duration for expectant mothers.
Background: The p22phox is a critical component of the superoxide-generating vascular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase. Several polymorphisms in p22phox gene are studied for their association with cardiovascular diseases. However, no publication is available to assess the relation of 549C > T polymorphism in p22phox gene to coronary artery disease (CAD) risk.

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of facilitated PCI, intravenous low-dose rt-PA administration prior to urgent PCI, in Chinese patients < 70 years of age with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Our results suggest that the age and dosage of thrombolytics should be noticed seriously when considering facilitated PCI.
