Cardiovascular implications in the use of PDE5 inhibitor therapy [PDF]
Cardiovascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) exist as resting or activated cells. Resting SMCs produce contractile proteins and are nearly transcriptionally inactive; activated SMCs are transcriptionally active and are involved in pathological processes such as atherosclerosis.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of steroid treatment with pulmonary vasodilators and tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with Pulmonary VenoOcclusive Disease (PVOD). Kaplan‐Meier curve showed that survival of PVOD patients with PSL (PRS) was significantly better with Log rank test (p = 0.01) than without PSL (PNS).

PDE5 expression in human thyroid tumors and effects of PDE5 inhibitors on growth and migration of cancer cells [PDF]
Recent studies have revealed in normal thyroid tissue the presence of the transcript of several phosphodiesterases (PDEs), enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides. In this work, we analyzed the expression of PDE5 in a series of human
