The triglyceride glucose: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is associated with coronary artery calcification evaluated via non-gated chest CT.

Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a common risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Although triglyceride glucose (TYG) index and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) are both associated with CAC, no study has evaluated the correlation between the TYG/HDL-c ratio and CAC. In the present study, we investigated the relationships between CAC and the TYG index and the TYG/HDL-c ratio.

Atrophy patterns in hippocampal subregions and their relationship with cognitive function in fibromyalgia patients with mild cognitive impairment.

Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) has been associated with decreased hippocampal volume; however, the atrophy patterns of hippocampal subregions have not yet been identified. We therefore aimed to evaluate the volumes of hippocampal subregions in FM patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and to explore the relationship between different subregional alterations and cognitive function.

Methods: The study included 35 FM patients (21 with MCI and 14 without MCI) and 35 healthy subjects.

Total flavone of Abelmoschl manihot L. medic exhibits protective effect against hind-limb ischemia in rat model.

Total flavones of Abelmoschus manihot L. Medic (TFA) is the major active component isolated from Chinese herb Abelmoschus manihot L. Medic.

Total Flavones of Abelmoschus manihot Exhibits Pro-Angiogenic Activity by Activating the VEGF-A/VEGFR2-PI3K/Akt Signaling Axis.

Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) binds to VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) and thus activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway play a central role in angiogenesis. Total flavones of Abelmoschus manihot (TFA), the major active component of the traditional Chinese herb Abelmoschus manihot, display novel pro-angiogenic activity.

Total flavones of enhances angiogenic ability both and .

Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels. It is a normal and vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue. Total flavones of (TFA) are the major constituents of the traditional Chinese herb L.

The cardioprotective effect of total flavonoids on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats.

The flowers of Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medic is a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of ischemic diseases. The present study is to investigate whether total flavones (TA) of extracted from Abelmoschus manihot L.
