rhein/infarction

A rapid and accurate identification of necrotic myocardium is of great importance for diagnosis, risk stratification, clinical decision-making, and prognosis evaluation of myocardial infarction. Here, we explored technetium-99m labeled rhein derivatives for rapid imaging of the necrotic myocardium.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac tachyarrhythmia. It is estimated that in the Rhein-Neckar region approximately 40,000-50,000 out of 2 million people are affected. Due to demographic changes in the near future there will be a significant increase in the prevalence of AF

Early and accurate assessment of therapeutic response to anticancer therapy plays an important role in determining treatment planning and patient management in clinic. Magnetic rseonance imaging (MRI) of necrosis that occurs after cancer therapies provides chances for that. Here, we reported three

The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of rhein on cerebral ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. The present study focused on the effect of rhein on oxidative stress and apoptotic factors, which are considered to serve an important role in the onset of I/R injury.

(1) Background: Rhubarb anthraquinones-a class of components with neuroprotective function-can be used to alleviate cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. (2) Methods: The three pharmacodynamic indicators are neurological function score, brain water content, and cerebral infarction area; UPLC-MS/MS

Assessment of myocardial viability is deemed necessary to aid in clinical decision making whether to recommend revascularization therapy for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Dianthraquinones such as hypericin (Hyp) selectively accumulate in necrotic myocardium, but were unsuitable for early

BACKGROUND The ischemia cerebrovascular disease is one of leading causes of death and long-term disability in modern society. Rhubarb is one of the common traditional Chinese medicine with many effects, and the main pharmacodynamic ingredients are aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and

BACKGROUND Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder of the LDL metabolism, leading to cardiovascular disease, even at young age. This risk can be significantly lowered by early diagnosis and treatment. About 270,000 patients affected in Germany are not diagnosed correctly and only
