Expression of plasminogen activators (PAs) and urokinase-type PA receptor (u-PAR) is associated with tumor growth and invasion. For in vivo human tumor tissues, there is no information on gene expression of PAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or other hepatic pathophysiological conditions. In this study we examined the relative levels of u-PA, tissue-type PA (t-PA), and u-PAR mRNA expression ...

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...
