Remote ischemic conditioning reduces postoperative bleeding in adult cardiac surgical patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The current study was designed to systemically investigate the impact of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on intra- and postoperative bleeding and transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Evidence Acquisition: We included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing RIC with control on intra- and postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery; 2) RCT; 3) perioperative administration of RIC compared to control; 4) outcomes of interest reported.

polysaccharide alleviates Parkinson's disease inhibiting apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways and modulating the gut microbiota.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, chronic, and progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system for which there is no effective treatment. is a well-known food and medicine homologous resource with neuroprotective potential. polysaccharide (GEP), which is a highly active and safe component in , is an important ingredient in the development of functional products.

Brazilin-Ce nanoparticles attenuate inflammation by de/anti-phosphorylation of IKKβ.

Inflammation is associated with a series of diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and infection, and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation modification of proteins are important in inflammation regulation. Here we designed and synthesized a novel Brazilin-Ce nanoparticle (BX-Ce NPs) using Brazilin, which has been used for anti-inflammation in cardiovascular diseases but with narrow therapeutic window, and Cerium (IV), a lanthanide which has the general activity in catalyzing the hydrolysis of phosphoester bonds, to conferring de/anti-phosphorylation of IKKβ. We found that BX-Ce NPs specifically bound to Asn225 and Lys428 of IKKβ and inhibited its phosphorylation at Ser181, contributing to appreciably anti-inflammatory effect in cellulo (IC = 2.

Nitric oxide synthase and its function in animal reproduction: an update.

Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical labile gas, is involved in the regulation of various biological functions and physiological processes during animal reproduction. Recently, increasing evidence suggests that the biological role and chemical fate of NO is dependent on dynamic regulation of its biosynthetic enzyme, three distinct nitric oxide synthase (NOS) according to their structure, location and function. The impact of NOS isoforms on reproductive functions need to be timely elucidated.
