PM2.5 exposure decreases viability, migration and angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human microvascular endothelial cells.

Previous studies have confirmed that exposure to particulate matter with a diameter of ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) is associated with inflammation.

Discovery of Xuebijing Injection Exhibiting Protective Efficacy on Sepsis by Inhibiting the Expression of HMGB1 in Septic Rat Model Designed by Cecal Ligation and Puncture.

Xuebijing (XBJ) injection is a complex traditional Chinese prescription that has been widely used to treat sepsis in China. However, its underlying mechanisms on sepsis still remain uninvestigated. In this study, 150 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, CLP+XBJ group, and CLP+gibberellic acid group.
