Rep., 60 (2008)369 (He HB, Yang XZ, Shi MQ, Zeng XW, Wu LM, Li LD. Comparison of cardioprotective effects of salvianolic acid B and benazepril on large myocardial infarction in rats) and in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol., 378 (2008) 311–322 (He H, Shi M, Yang X, Zeng X, Wu L, Li L. Comparison of cardioprotective effects using salvianolic acid B and benazepril for the treatment of chronic myocardial infarction in rats) without appropriate citation.Haibo He could not be reached to comment.
