Prevention of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extract from Linnén on cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas progression following UV irradiation in mice.

Linnén (), a medicinal and food herb with various bioactive components, may be of beneficial use in cosmetics and the treatment of skin-related diseases. However, to date, few studies have been reported on its potential preventive and therapeutic effects on skin cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect and potential mechanism of action of supercritical carbon dioxide extract from (CI) on UV-induced skin cancer in a mouse model.

Aqueous extract of Paeoniae Radix Rubra prevents deep vein thrombosis by ameliorating inflammation through inhibiting GSK3β activity.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a kind of blood stasis syndrome. Paeoniae Radix Rubra (PRR) has long been widely used for eliminating blood stasis in China, but its effect on DVT has not yet been reported.

Purpose: The present study aimed to assess the potential inhibitory effect of the aqueous extract of PRR (i.

Aqueous extract of Whitmania pigra Whitman ameliorates ferric chloride-induced venous thrombosis in rats via antioxidation.

Whitmania pigra Whitman (W. pigra) has been widely employed in decoction for the treatment of blood stasis syndrome for many years in China. The aim of the present study was to explore the anti-venous thrombosis (VT) mechanism of the aqueous extract of W.

Naringenin protects RPE cells from NaIO-induced oxidative damage in vivo and in vitro through up-regulation of SIRT1.

Background: Dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD) leads to serious burden of visual impairment and there is no definitive treatment. Previous studies have showed that naringenin (NAR) significantly increased electroretinography (ERG) c-wave in sodium iodate (NaIO)-treated rats and viability of NaIO-treated ARPE-19 cells. But the underlying mechanism is still unknown.

Spatholobi Caulis dispensing granule reduces deep vein thrombus burden through antiinflammation via SIRT1 and Nrf2.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a kind of blood stasis syndrome. Spatholobi Caulis (SC) has been widely used for the treatment of blood stasis syndrome in China, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.

Purpose: The aim of present study was to investigate the anti-DVT mechanism of Spatholobi Caulis dispensing granule (SCDG).

Synthesis of pogostone by one-step.

Pogostone, isolated from Pogostemon cablin, has many biological activities such as potential antibacterial, anticandida, and antifungal. Traditional extraction leads to low output of PO about 17.6 mg/kg from Herba Pogostemonis.
