Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects and underlying mechanisms of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du extract: Implication for atopic dermatitis treatment
Conclusions HLJDE exerted significant anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects through suppressing the production of allergic and inflammatory mediators via the NF-κB and MAPKs inactivation and IκBα degradation in the LPS-stimulated RAW24.7 cells, inactivation of MAPKs and Lyn pathway in antigen-induced RBL-2H3 cells. The present study provides in vitro experimental evidence to support the use of HLJDE for the clinical treatment of AD. Graphical abstract

Geniposide attenuates inflammatory response by suppressing P2Y14 receptor and downstream ERK1/2 signaling pathway in oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced brain microvascular endothelial cells
Conclusion Geniposide exerted anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with the expression of P2Y14 receptor, which subsequently inhibits the downstream ERK1/2 signaling pathways and the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-8, MCP-1, IL-1β. Therefore, this study provides the evidence for gardenia's clinical application in cerebral ischemia. Graphical abstract

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) leaves: A review on traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties
Conclusions Persimmon leaves probably have therapeutic potential in the prevention and treatment for cerebral arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension. It showed significant neuroprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, it can regulate immune function and inhibite inflammation. Further investigations are needed to explore individual bioactive compounds responsible for these pharmacological effects in vitro and in vivo and the mode of actions. Further safety assessments and clinical trials should be performed before it can be integrated into medicinal practices. Graphical abstract
