Cardioprotective effects of corilagin on doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity via P13K/Akt and NF-κB signaling pathways in a rat model.

Even though doxorubicin (DOX) is a potential chemotherapeutic drug, its usage is restricted due to its ability to induce cardiac damage. In order to prevent this damage, a potent cardioprotective agent should be associated with DOX treatment. Corilagin is a natural polyphenol tannic acid which unveils enormous pharmacological activities predominantly as an antitumor agent.

Diagnosing Perioperative Cardiovascular Risks in Noncardiac Surgery Patients.

Every year, over 200 million adults are undergoing noncardiac surgery. These noncardiac surgery patients may face the risk of cardiac mortality and morbidity during the perioperative and recovery periods. Around ten million patients who underwent noncardiac surgery experience cardiac complications within the first 30 days of the postoperative period; the complications are myocardial infarction, cardiac death, and cardiac arrest.

[Relationships between eggplant leaf pubescent and its resistance to Polyphagotarsonemus latus].

With 27 eggplant varieties as test objects, this paper studied the effects of their leaf pubescent on the field population density of Polyphagotarsonemus latus, its injury index on eggplant leaf, and population growth rate. The results showed that the density and length of leaf pubescent differed with eggplant varieties. For the same variety, leaf pubescence had a higher density but a shorter length on reverse side than on obverse side.
