A network pharmacology approach to investigate the mechanism of Shuxuening injection in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shuxuening injection (SXNI), a popular herbal medicine, is an extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves (GBE), and is used to treat ischemic stroke (IS) in China. However, its specific active ingredients and molecular mechanisms in IS remain unclear.

Aim Of The Study: The purpose of the research is to identify the main active ingredients in GBE and explore its molecular mechanisms in the treatment of IS.

Triclocarban exposure affects mouse oocyte in vitro maturation through inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.

Triclocarban (TCC), a broad-spectrum lipophilic antibacterial agent, is the main ingredient of personal and health care products. Nonetheless, its ubiquitous presence in the environment has been established to negatively affect the reproduction in humans and animals. In this work, we studied the possible toxic effects of TCC on mouse oocytes maturation in vitro.
