Network pharmacology and experimental study of phenolic acids in salvia miltiorrhiza bung in preventing ischemic stroke
At present, the preventive effect of ischemic stroke is not ideal, and the preventive drugs are limited. Danshen, the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge, is a common medicinal herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases for many years. Phenolic Acids extracted from danshen, which showed multiple biological activities, have been developed as an injection for the treatment of ischemic stroke. However, its preventive effect on ischemic stroke has not been fully reported. The current study aimed to identify the potential active phenolic acids for the prevention of i...

Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP) ：A Promising Therapeutic Agent for Ischemic Stroke.
Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP)：A Promising Therapeutic Agent for Ischemic Stroke. CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets. 2018 Jun 12;: Authors: Wang S, Ma F, Huang LJ, Zhang Y, Peng YC, Xing CH, Feng YP, Wang XL, Peng Y Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries all over the world. The only drug for ischemic stroke approved by FDA is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). However, only 2-5% stroke patients receive rtPAs treatment due to its strict therapeutic time window. As ischemic stroke is a complex disease involving in multiple mecha...

Preventable Cases of Oral Anticoagulant-Induced Bleeding: Data From the Spontaneous Reporting System
Conclusion: Our findings describe the most reported risk factors for preventability of oral anticoagulant-induced bleedings. These factors may be useful for targeting interventions to improve pharmacovigilance activities in our regional territory and to reduce the burden of medication errors and inappropriate prescription. Introduction Oral anticoagulant therapy is widely used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, or for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (Raj et al., 1994; Monaco et al., 2017). Oral anticoagulants can be di...

The Protective Effect of Liquiritin in Hypoxia/Reoxygenation-Induced Disruption on Blood Brain Barrier
Conclusions: Studies have shown that LQ can promote cell proliferation, migration as well as angiogenesis, and reduce cell apoptosis, which may be related to its inhibition of oxidative and ER stress, and then maintain the integrity of BBB. Given that five differential proteins were found by protein analysis, future studies will revolve around the five differential proteins.

Efficacy and Safety of Bivalirudin During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Total Occlusion: A Retrospective Study
The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with CTO.METHODS: This trial used a retrospective cohort study design. Medical information from 736 patients with CTO who underwent PCI with bivalirudin or UFH at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2019 to September 2020 was extracted and analyzed. The primary end point was the 30-day incidence of net adverse clinical events (NACEs), and the secondary end point was the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which were related to safety and efficacy,...

Genotype-Guided Antiplatelet Therapy Versus Standard Therapy for Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Genotype-guided antiplatelet treatment could reduce the risk of MACEs without increasing the risk of bleeding events as compared with the standard treatment in patients with CAD or those undergoing PCI. In addition, Genotype-guided antiplatelet treatment might benefit Chinese population or patients with ACS.PMID:34995471 | DOI:10.18433/jpps32140

Naotaifang formula attenuates OGD/R-induced inflammation and ferroptosis by regulating microglial M1/M2 polarization through BMP6/SMADs signaling pathway
CONCLUSION: Microglial M1/M2 polarization plays a pivotal role in inflammation and ferroptosis during OGD/R. The BMP6/SMADs signaling pathway is a potential therapeutical target of inflammation and ferroptosis induced by the transformation of microglia. Moreover, NTF could alleviate inflammation and ferroptosis through the BMP6/SMADs signaling pathway in OGD/R-injured microglia.PMID:37713988 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115465
