Objective: To investigate the effects of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhiae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata and Rhizoma Anemarrhena on nitric oxide (NO) system of heart, liver, intestine, lung, kidney and serum in mice with endotoxemia, and to explore the potential molecular mechanism of the three kinds of traditional Chinese drugs.
Methods: Model mice of endotoxemia were established by intraperitoneally injected with E. coli.
Objective: To observe the effects of Jianpi Huoxue Decoction, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on Kupffer cell signal pathway activation in rats with liver injury induced by Lieber-Decarli liquid diet and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Methods: SD rats were divided into normal, control liquid diet, ethanol liquid diet and ethanol liquid diet plus Jianpi Huoxue Decoction group. Rats were administrated with Jianpi Huoxue Decoction or distilled water via gastrogavage for 4 weeks after administration with ethanol or control liquid diet for 2 weeks respectively.
[Application and results of Robicsek procedure for dilated ascending aorta associated with aortic valve disease].

Article Synopsis
- The Robicsek procedure is designed for patients with dilation of the ascending aorta and aortic valve disease, examining its short to mid-term outcomes after surgery.
- A study involving 30 patients showed successful outcomes with no hospital deaths, and the average aortic diameter decreased significantly during an 18-month follow-up.
- The Robicsek operation offers advantages over other surgical options, like the Bentall and David procedures, by providing effective results with shorter surgery times and lower risks for patients with the condition.
Summary Mice homozygous for an inactivation of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene develop a T-cell dependent colitis. Heterozygous (IL-2+/-) mice are clinically healthy but have been shown to express reduced levels of IL-2 in the colon. Splenocytes from the IL-2+/- mice had a poorer proliferative response to polyclonal T-cell activation and these mice have reduced numbers of intestinal regulatory T cells (CD4+ CD25+ cells) when compared to wild type mice.
