PROBLEM: Question: Does apelin-13 protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury through the RISK-GSK-3β-mPTP pathway?
Answer: The protective mechanism of apelin-13 might be that inactivation of GSK-3β could inhibit the opening of mPTP by activating PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 involved in the reperfusion injury salvage kinase (RISK) pathway.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Is neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio a reliable predictive marker for early-stage diabetic nephropathy?
Answer: Increased NLR was significantly associated with DN, and high NLR values may be a reliable predictive marker of early-stage DN.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Impairs anterior chordal transection only regional left ventricular function but also regional right ventricular function in mitral regurgitation?
Answer: Anterior chordal transection during MV replacement for MR impairs not only regional LV function but also regional RV function.

SOLUTION:
no
