CYP3A29 is the most important key enzyme for drug metabolism in pig's liver. Research of the characters of CYP3A29 mRNA expression in Chinese experimental miniature pig's livers is significant for evaluating it whether suitable for experimental model for drug metabolism mediated by human CYP3A4 enzyme. In this study, the levels of CYP3A29 mRNA expression in livers of Bama miniature pigs, Guizho...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic assistance with a miniature intracardiac pump may fill the treatment gap between use of an intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) and the current, more invasive ventricular assist devices. The objective of this study was to compare the hemodynamic efficacy of a miniature intracardiac pump device with that of IABP. METHODS AND RESULTS Reversible acute mitral regurgitation (AMR)...
