Forsythiae Fructus is an important Chinese medicine which shows a significant effect against inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the preventive anti-inflammation mechanism of Forsythiae Fructus by serum metabolomics strategy and compare the difference of the metabolism pathways between
The objective of this investigation was to assess the effect of substrate manipulation on reducing ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Isolated rat hearts were perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing either (in mM): glucose 11 (G1), glucose 22 (G2), or glucose 11 with either xylitol
Hyperacute rejection results in rapid destruction of a cardiac allograft and is characterized by infiltration of neutrophils into the donor organ. We sought to ameliorate this response by using a potent inhibitor of neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium, NPC 15669
Hyperacute rejection results in rapid destruction of a discordant cardiac xenograft and is characterized by antibody deposition, complement activation, and platelet aggregation. The importance of neutrophils is unclear. Complement inhibition prolongs discordant cardiac xenograft survival. The
BACKGROUND
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a mediator of lung diseases and a potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor. In addition to thromboxane A2, it participates in the formation of lung edema. Both lidocaine and mepivacaine attenuate the increase of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and lung edema development.
The enzyme L-amino acid oxidase (LAO) from the leaf-nosed viper (Eristocophis macmahoni) snake venom was purified to homogeneity in a single step using high performance liquid chromatography on a Nucleosil 7C18 reverse phase column. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was 58734.0 Da, as
