Article Synopsis
- Cardiomyocyte loss and fibrosis significantly contribute to the damage caused by myocardial infarction (MI), which leads to heart dysfunction.
- Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes, especially when combined with Danshen decoction (DSY), show potential in improving heart recovery after MI in rat models.
- The study found that exosomes from BM-MSCs combined with DSY were more effective than standard BM-MSC exosomes in enhancing cardiac function and structure, while also reducing damage and cell death in heart cells.
TiAl₃ and TiN composite nanoparticles were continuously synthesized from Ti-48Al master alloy by hydrogen plasma-metal reaction in a N₂, H₂ and Ar atmosphere. The phase, morphology, and size of the nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and evolved gas analysis (EGA) were used to analyze the surface phase constitution and oxygen content of the nanoparticles.

Objective: To explore the protective effect of baicalin against rotenone-induced injury on PC12 cells, and the po-tential mechanism of action action was also explored.
Method: PC12 cells were injured by rotenone and were treated with different concentrations (0.1, 1, 10 μmol x L(-1)) of baicalin at the same time.
Objective: To compare the effects of piglitazone and metformin on retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4) and adiponcetin (APN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with Non alcohol fatty acid liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: Totally 60 T2DM patients complicated with NAFLD were equally and randomly divided into pioglitazone group and metform group. The levels of biochemical indicators including body mass index (BMI), glucose hemoglobin A1C (GHbA1C), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FIns), and serum triglycerides (TG) as well as serum RBP-4 and APN level were measured pre-treatment and 12 weeks after treatments.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) combined with transient intensive insulin therapy on adipokine level in patients with type 2 diabetic perineuropathy (DPN).
Methods: Totally 120 type 2 DPN patients who were receiving transient intensive insulin treatment were equally and randomly divided into LA group and methycobal group (which was set as the control group). The treatment lasted two weeks.
