Iron oxide/lignin-based hollow carbon nanofibers nanocomposite as an application electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Iron oxide particle-decorated, hollow, carbon nanofibers (HCNFs), with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) solution as the core and acetic acid lignin as the shell, were manufactured using a coaxial electrospinning technique, using iron(III) acetylacetonate as the iron oxide-precursor additive in the shell. The fabricated HCNFs exhibited a high specific capacitance of 121 F·g at 0.5 A·g, which was 2.

Tanshinone IIA Attenuates Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain in Experimental Rats via Inhibiting Inflammation.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) is a common and intractable complication of diabetes. Conventional therapies are always not ideal; development of novel drugs is still needed to achieve better pain relief. Recent evidences have demonstrated that inflammation is involved in the onset and maintenance of DPNP.

Danhong Injection Alleviates Mechanical Allodynia via Inhibiting ERK1/2 Activation and Elevates BDNF Level in Sciatic Nerve in Diabetic Rat.

Danhong injection (DHI) has been widely used in China for cardiocerebrovascular diseases treatments. And in this study, we demonstrated the therapeutic effect of DHI on experimental diabetic neuropathy for the first time. .

[Effect of geniposide on LPS-induced activation of TLR4-NF-κB pathway in RAW264.7 macrophage cell line].

Objective: To study the anti-inflammatory mechanism of geniposide and observe the effect of geniposide on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the activity of NF-κB, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines- TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6-in the RAW264.7 macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Methods: There were three experimental groups, including the control group, LPS group and LPS combined with geniposide group in this study.
