Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) has received considerable attention in the field of critical care as it can lead to high mortality rates. Polygala tenuifolia, a traditional Chinese medicine with strong expectorant properties, can be used to treat pneumonia. Owing to the complexity of its composition, the main active ingredient is not yet known.

Objective: To investigate whether compression therapy after thermal ablation of varicose veins can improve the prognosis of patients.
Methods: Systematic research were applied for Chinese and English electronic databases(PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP Databases). Eligible prospective studies that comparing the efficacy of compression therapy and non-compression therapy on patients after thermal ablation of varicose veins were included.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shiwei Qingwen decoction (SWQ), a Chinese herbal formula based on the classic traditional Chinese medicine prescription Yu Ping Feng San, has shown efficacy in preventing and treating early pneumonia with good clinical outcomes. However, its underlying mechanism is yet unclear.
Aim Of The Study: To clarify the preventive and therapeutic effects of SWQ on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and explore the underlying mechanism by which SWQ influences pneumonia.
The essential role of GAPDH/Siah1 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of various injurious conditions such as traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has been gradually recognized. However, the drugs targeting this signaling pathway are still lacking. The endocannabinoid system, including its receptors (CB1 and CB2), act as neuroprotective and immunomodulatory modulators in SCI.

Papers reported that microglia-mediated inflammation has become one of the most pivotal mechanisms for IMI. This study was aimed to investigate the potential roles of ECS on neuron protection under microglia-mediated inflammation.
