Potential Mechanisms and Effects of Chinese Medicines in Treatment of Diabetic Atherosclerosis by Modulating NLRP3 Inflammasome: A Narrative Review
AbstractNucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is an intracellular sensor that detects endogenous danger signals and environmental irritants to assemble into the NLRP3 inflammasome. Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines interleutkin (IL)-1 β and IL-18 and induces pyroptosis. Recent studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome participates in the initiation and progression of diabetic atherosclerosis through pathological mechanisms such as β-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, endothelial cell dysfunction, ...

Evidence for Anticancer Effects of Chinese Medicine Monomers on Colorectal Cancer
AbstractColorectal cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers worldwide. Although clinical reports have indicated the anticancer effects of Chinese herbal medicine, the multiple underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms of action remain to be fully characterized. Chinese medicine (CM) monomers, which are the active components of CM, serve as the material basis of the functional mechanisms of CM. The aim of this review is to summarize the current experimental evidence fromin vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies for the effects of CM monomers in colorectal cancer prevention and treatment, providing some usefu...
