Background: Neurohormonal blocking drugs, like beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), are recommended for treating anthracycline-induced left ventricular dysfunction (AILVD). However, there is limited evidence supporting their benefit. Therefore, this study evaluated associations of neurohormonal blockers and other clinical factors with recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with AILVD.

- The liver is essential for detoxifying substances, metabolizing nutrients, and storing vital compounds, but liver cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, highlighting the need for better treatments.
- Traditional treatments like surgery and chemotherapy are not reducing liver cancer incidence, prompting research into novel therapies.
- Oncolytic therapy uses viruses to specifically target and destroy cancer cells; this review discusses recent studies on the safety and effectiveness of five common oncolytic viruses in treating liver cancer.
Antibiotic resistance is becoming significantly prominent and urgent in clinical practice with the increasing and wide application of antibacterial drugs. However, developing and synthesizing new antimicrobial drugs is costly and time-consuming. Recently, researchers shifted their sights to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of cornel iridoid glycoside (CIG), a major active component extracted from , on the white matter injury induced by ischemic stroke and further investigate its neuroprotective mechanisms.
Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery for 2 h, followed by reperfusion.
