Background: Inflammation is a biological response of the immune system to harmful stimuli. Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PCH) can alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress by activating reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) in animal models, but there is a lack of cellular evidence.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of PHC on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation response and oxidative stress in RAW264.

Background: There is much evidence that confirms the inextricable link between inflammation and malignancy. Inflammation-related regulators were involved in the progression of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). However, the predictive role of single gene biomarkers is inadequate, and more accurate prognostic models are necessary.

Background: Open heart surgery is performed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) techniques that may cause neuronal injuries.

Objective: This study investigated the potential protective effect of oleocanthal pre-treatment against CPB-induced cerebral injury.

Methods: Oleocanthal 30 mg/kg i.

Ischemic postconditioning (IPo) attenuates ischemia‑reperfusion injuries (IRI) in various organs, of both animals and humans. This study tested the hypothesis that IPo attenuates renal IRI through the upregulation of heat shock protein (HSP)70, HSP27 and heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1, also known as HSP 32) expression. Adult Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia for 45 min followed by reperfusion for up to 48 h.
