Augmentation of bone formation by sympathectomy in rats as evaluated by [99mTc]Tc-MDP [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundThe role of the sympathetic nervous system in bone metabolism remains unclear. Given that 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate ([99mTc]Tc-MDP) uptake reflects active bone formation and mineralization, this study aims to investigate the effects of ...

Bilateral Superior Cervical Sympathectomy Activates Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 Signal to Alleviate Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundThere is growing evidence about the effect of bilateral superior cervical sympathectomy on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Studies have increasingly found that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) plays a

A prospective controlled randomized multicenter study to evaluate the severity of compensatory sweating after one-stage bilateral thoracic sympathectomy versus unilateral thoracic sympathectomy in the dominant side

Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2020
Objective: To evaluate the contribution that unilateral thoracic sympathectomy in dominant side or two-stage bilateral thoracic sympathectomy can have as strategies to reduce the incidence of compensatory sweating after sympathectomy for palmar ...
