Background: (Fuzi) has been conventionally used to cure a variety of ailments, such as pain, cold sensations, and numbness of limb muscles (Bi Zheng) in China. Our prior investigations identified Benzoylaconine (BAC) as a bioactive alkaloid derived from , with other studies also demonstrating its significant pharmacological potential.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the potential of BAC as a protective agent against skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

The abuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry has brought many public health problems, among which the passive use of antibiotics caused by eating food containing residual antibiotics has attracted the most attention. However, few studies have examined the possible adverse effects of prenatal antibiotics exposure on fetal growth and development. In this study, we investigated the associations between prenatal antibiotics exposure and measures of fetal growth.

The monoester alkaloids in , including benzoylaconitine (BAC), benzoylmesaconine, and benzoylhypaconitine, were found to have anti-hypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertension rats (SHRs), of which BAC is the strongest. However, its antihypertensive target and underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, first, we screened the antihypertensive targets of BAC by using the CVDPlatform (www.

What Is Known And Objectives: Caffeine citrate is a commonly used methylxanthine for pharmacologic treatment of apnea of prematurity. The aim of this study was to develop and verify a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model, which can provide a reference for individualized caffeine citrate treatment of apnea in Chinese premature infants.

Methods: A total of 88 serum concentration measurements from 46 preterm patients (median gestational age 29 weeks) were retrospectively collected and the relevant clinical data of patients were recorded.
