The effects of salvia miltiorrhiza Bge (SMB) on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the left ventricle of spontaneously hypertensive rats and the action mechanism were investigated. Normal Wistar-kyoto (WKY) rats were used as negative
Exposure of endothelial cells to tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) results in increased endothelial permeability, accompanied by a loss of cell-cell adherence junctions. The importance of tyrosine phosphatase and kinase activity in oxidant-mediated loss of cell junction structures has been
Porous tantalum rod implantation is a novel surgical method that is used to treat avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head (hip). In the present study, the results of core decompression and tantalum rod implantation were compared with non-surgical treatment for AVN, and the survivorship of the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether Paeotang (10-50 μg/mL) suppresses tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-induced vascular inflammatory processes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).
METHODS
The ingredients composed of Paeotang include Glycyrrhiza glabra, Zingiber officinale, Cinnamomum
OBJECTIVE
To observe the therapeutic effect of point injection of Danshen (Red-sage-root) for treating ischemic necrosis of femoral head in patients.
METHODS
A total of 62 hips of ischemic femoral head necrosis were randomly divided into point-injection group (32 hips) and core decompression (CDC)
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis and kills cancer cells but not normal cells. However, TRAIL resistance due to low level of TRAIL receptor expression is widely found in cancer cells and hampers its development for cancer treatment. Thus,
Salvia miltiorrhiza is a medicinal herb commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effects of Cardiotonic Pill (CP), a pharmaceutical preparation of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is often used for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. To understand its mechanism of pharmacological action, its effects on endothelial monolayer permeability are studied. The present study
Scale drop and muscle necrosis disease with high mortality widely occurred recently in the hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂), a crucial cultured marine fish species in China. In this study, 30 Harveyi clade isolates of 27 Vibrio harveyi strains were isolated from
Activated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in patients with acute coronary syndromes may contribute to plaque destabilization. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) enhances NAD (P) H oxidase-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and ROS induce MMP-2. In the present study, the effects
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been implicated as one of the major cause of Gram-negative bacteria-induced sepsis that are life-threatening syndromes occurring in intensive care unit patients. Many natural products derived from medicinal plants may contain therapeutic values on protecting
Salvia miltiorrhoza Bunge is a traditional herb medicine often used in China for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of aqueous extract of Salvia miltiorrhoza Bunge (ESM) on expression of adhesion molecules in tumor
Cryptotanshinone (CT), one major lipophilic component isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has shown to possess chemopreventive properties against various types of cancer cells. In this study, CT was shown to be a potent anti-angiogenic agent in zebrafish, and mouse models and could limit tumor
BACKGROUND
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional Asian medicine used to treat cerebral and cardiac ischemia. However, the effects of the active compounds of S. miltiorrhiza on liver damage are unclear.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we tested the effects on acute liver injury of crude S. miltiorrhiza
The incidence of cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI) continues to increase despite advances in treatment. Excessive myocardial fibrosis plays a vital role in the development of adverse cardiac remodeling and deterioration of cardiac function. Understanding the molecular and cellular
