Society does not care much about the damages of right owners. Internet is often considered as a "public place", and works on Internet are considered as "displayed in public places" from which a lawful restriction of rights is permitted. It promotes unfair competition and hinders the development of sustainable business. Lawful use of protected copyright content is a tool for ensuring equal and sustainable competition level among entrepreneurs. On Internet, there are many copyright-protected works available. Many members of society wish to get an access to these works, which means that a solution should be found. For private and non-commercial use, there should be reasonable limitations. Combating piracy on Intemet using enforcement tools alone does not yield results. Piracy should be placed in a frame accepted by a civilized society, and the society and authors should get the maximum benefits from it.展开更多

Numerous interventions have been shown by pre-clinical studies to be effective in limiting infarct size, and yet clinical trials designed accordingly have yielded disappointing outcomes. The ultimate goal of cardiac protection is to limit the adverse cardiac remodeling. Accumulating studies have revealed that post-infarct remodeling can be attenuated without infarct size limitation. To reconcile this, one needs to appreciate the significance of various cellular and acellular myocardial components that, like cardiomyocytes, undergo significant damage and dysfunction, which impact the ultimate cardiac injury and remodelling. Microvascular injury following ischemia-reperfusion may influence infarct size and promote inflammation. Myocardial injury evokes innate immunity with massive inflammatory infiltration that, although essential for the healing process, exacerbates myocardial injury and damage to extracellular matrix leading to dilative remodeling. It is also important to consider the multiple non-cardiomyocyte components in evaluating therapeutic efficacy. Current research indicates the pivotal role of these components in achieving cardiac regeneration by cell therapy. This review summarizes findings in this field, highlights a broad consideration of therapeutic targets,and recommends cardiac remodeling as the ultimate target.展开更多
