Asthma comprises a triad of reversible airway obstruction, bronchial smooth muscle cell hyperreactivity to bronchoconstrictors, and chronic bronchial inflammation. Clinical and experimental findings have established eosinophilia as a sign of allergic disorders. In the present investigation, we
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) can cause serious pathological changes and inflammation in chickens. Schizandrin has anti-inflammatory activity and can prevent damage to various tissues and organs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of schizandrin on
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a kind of highly pathogenic parenteral bacteria, which adheres to chicken type II pneumocytes through pili, causing inflammatory damage of chicken type II pneumocytes. Without affecting the growth of bacteria, anti-adhesion to achieve anti-inflammatory
Schisandra chinensis (SC) and its main constituent, schizandrin (SCH) exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities. Allergic and inflammatory reactions are aggravated via caspase-1 signaling pathway. However, the regulatory effects of SC and SCH on caspase-1 activation have not been
Brain ischemia appears to be associated with innate immunity. Recent reports showed that C3a and C5a, as potent targets, might protect against ischemia induced cell death. In traditional Chinese medicine, the fruit of Schizandra chinesis Baill (Fructus schizandrae) has been widely used as a tonic.
Microglial-mediated neuroinflammation has been established as playing a vital role in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, rational regulation of microglia functions to inhibit inflammation injury may be a logical and promising approach to neurodegenerative disease therapy. The
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious complication of diabetes, which is the main cause of blindness among adults. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been proven to delay the development of DR. Nonetheless, the effect of Schizandrin A (SchA) on DR remains uninvestigated. The present study
Schizandrin is a major bioactive constituent of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this study was to explore the potential effects of schizandrin on a cell model of myocarditis. The H9c2 cells were treated with schizandrin alone or
Inflammation and oxidative stress are considered major factors in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that Schizandrin A (Sch A), a lignin compound isolated from Schisandra chinesnesis, exhibits prominent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In
Dimethyl-4, 4'-dimethoxy-5, 6, 5'-6'-dimethylenedioxybiphenyl-2, 2'-dicarboxylate (DDB) is a synthetic analogue of Schizandrin C, an active compound isolated from a Chinese herb, Fructus schizandrae. We administered this compound to dystrophic hamsters in vivo for 31 days. This led to a 61%
OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-inflammatory properties of OJ.
BACKGROUND
Ojayeonjonghwan (OJ) is a traditional Korean prescription, which has been widely used for the treatment of prostatitis. However, no scientific study has been performed of the anti-inflammatory effects of OJ.
METHODS
Peritoneal
The beneficial value of the stems of Schisandra chinensis (SSC) in neurological diseases is unclear. We examined whether SSC aqueous extract (SSCE) alleviates striatal toxicity in a 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA)-induced mouse model of Huntington's disease (HD). SSCE (75, 150, or 300 mg/kg/day, p.o.)
