Serum tenasc in-C levels were increased in proportion to the severity of left ventricular dy sfunction in patients with IDC. The associations of serum tenascin-C levels wit h serum troponin T and procollagen type III aminoterminal peptide levels suggest that increased levels of serum tenascin-C indicate ongoing replacement fibrosi s after myocardial damage in IDC.展开更多

It revealed neartriploid with several numerical changes in cluding abnormalities in the copy number of chromosomes 7, 8, and 22, and structural abnormalities of chromosome 22 and others. This is a minor case which showed the multiple abnormalities of chromosomes in the absence of a t (12;22) translocation.展开更多
