In this article, we review the role played by myectomy in cardiac surgery. For this purpose, we looked at three cases of different etiology where myectomy in conjunction with treatment of the primary condition proved invaluable in the outcome of these patients. The primary conditions requiring treatment were subaortic membrane, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with mitral valve regurgitation, and aortic stenosis.

Background: Polymorphisms of the folate-associated one-carbon metabolism (OCM) pathway genes may regulate certain susceptibilities to cancer. G80A, a polymorphism in the reduced folate carrier (RFC) gene, may be associated with cancer risk, although the results obtained from previous studies have been inconsistent.
Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the association of G80A with lung cancer among a Chinese population, and to examine the potential effect modifiers.
