Two pandemics of heart attack deaths have plagued the world's population during the past 130 years. The first pandemic, induced by beriberi, was caused by the industrial revolution altering the nutritional composition of rice. By 1892 a simple working knowledge, then at hand, could have terminated
Sesquiterpene lactones are extracts of common medicinal Asteracae plants used in folk medicine for their anti-inflammatory activity. Recently, in vitro studies have shown that these compounds may interfere with pro-inflammatory gene regulation. This study examines the effects of parthenolide, a
To investigate the protective effects of ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection (GDLMI) on cerebral focal ischemia reperfusion injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats, and explore its possible mechanism. One hundred and forty male SD rats were randomly divided into
The left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was made by inserting the nylon thread plug into the internal carotid artery. The behavioral score, cerebral infarction area, brain water content, ethidium bromide (EB) spillover, coagulation four indices, occludin and MMP-9 expression in brain
The dysregulation of autophagy is associated with a series of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial ischemia injury. Lactone component from Ligusticum chuanxiong (LLC) is the major constituent of the traditional Chinese herb L. chuanxiong Hort., which has been reported to hold potential
Ginkgo biloba L. (Ginkgoaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine known to treating stroke and other cardio-cerebrovascular diseases for thousands of years in China. Ginkgo diterpene lactones (GDL) attracted much attention because of their neuroprotective OBJECTIVE
Stroke is a major public health concern with high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cerebral ischemia and infarction are commonly associated with stroke. Currently used medications, though effective, are also associated with adverse effects. Development of effective
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia, however, the mechanism of atrial fibrillation is not well explained. It has been considered that inflammation plays a role in atrial fibrillation, recently. Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft are at high risk for developing
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate potential roles of rapamycin, a macrocytic lactone produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus, in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats were pretreated with three different doses of rapamycin (0.25, 2, and 5 mg/kg).
The standardized Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761(definition see editorial) has been shown to produce neuroprotective effects in different in vivo and in vitro models. Since EGb 761 is a complex mixture containing flavonoid glycosides, terpene lactones (non-flavone fraction) and various other
Inflammation is associated with cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, myocarditis and congestive heart failure. Mast cells have been implicated in inflammation, but their precise role in cardiac inflammation remains unclear. Mast cells contain a variety of
The extension of a method for the determination of thromboxane B2 (TxB2), 2,3-dinor-TxB2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha to quantify 11-dehydro-TxB2 in the same urinary sample is described. After phenylboronic acid and C18 column chromatography,
OBJECTIVE
To date, experience with bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) that elute agents other than everolimus is limited. Thus, a post-marketing clinical follow-up study was conducted to evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the DESolve® NOVOLIMUS™ Eluting BRS as treatment for patients with
Ershi-wei Chenxiang pills (ECP) or Aga Nixiu wan (ཨ་གར་ཉི་ཤུ།), composed of 20 Tibetan medicines, has the effect of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. As a common and frequent prescription used by traditional Tibetan medicine in clinical treatment of Longzhibu disease OBJECTIVE
Novolimus, a macrocyclic lactone with anti-proliferative properties, has a similar efficacy to currently available agents; however it requires a lower dose, and less polymer, and is therefore conceivably safer.
RESULTS
The EXCELLA II study was a prospective, multicentre, single-blind,
