Article Synopsis
  • - Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) is an innovative oral antiviral medication for mild to moderate COVID-19, given over five days; this meta-analysis assessed its effectiveness based on various studies up to March 2023.
  • - The findings showed that Paxlovid significantly reduced risks of hospitalization, all-cause mortality, and ICU admissions, as well as shortened hospital stays and viral clearance time compared to control groups.
  • - Despite these benefits, no significant differences were observed regarding COVID-19 rebound rates between Paxlovid and control groups, highlighting its overall effectiveness as a treatment option for COVID-19 patients.

Objective: Coronary heart disease is incurable and prone to recurrence, and long-term dependence on medication and good nursing management to improve the prognosis. The effect of clopidogrel in the treatment of coronary heart disease is affected by many factors, so paying more attention to details in the process of patient care is conducive to creating more ideal recovery conditions for patients. The purpose of this study is to conduct detailed intervention for coronary heart disease (CHD) after clopidogrel treatment, and to analyze the clinical efficacy of this intervention mode on CHD patients and the relief of angina pectoris.

The aim of our study is to disclose the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of circular RNA ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component -recognin 4 (circ-UBR4) in atherosclerosis (AS). Our data showed that circ-UBR4 expression was upregulated in AS patients and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) compared with healthy volunteer and untreated VSMCs. In addition, ox-LDL stimulated proliferation, migration, and inflammation but decreased apoptosis in VSMCs, which were overturned by the inhibition of circ-UBR4.

Bronchial asthma often causes cognitive impairment, especially attentional deficit, which has a serious impact on children's learning. This study aims to provide objective indicators for the evaluation of attention in asthma children. Thirty-one asthmatic and typically developing children (TDC) were tested by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).

Purpose: We designed a novel isoliquiritigenin (ISL) loaded micelle prepared with DSPE-PEG as the drug carrier modified with the brain-targeting polypeptide angiopep-2 to improve the poor water solubility and low bioavailability of ISL for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: Thin film evaporation was used to synthesize the ISL micelles (ISL-M) modified with angiopep-2 as the brain targeted ligands. The morphology of the micelles was observed by the TEM.

Objective: To explore the effect of PITX2 gene rs6843082 single nucleotide polymorphism on the efficacy and adverse reactions of warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertension, and to provide a theoretical basis for individualized warfarin treatment.

Methods: Data on 97 patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertension treated in our hospital were collected from September, 2018 to December, 2019. PCR and SNP genotyping techniques were used to measure the genotype at the rs6843082 locus (pituitary homeobox 2, PITX2) using DNA from the peripheral blood cells of all patients.

: Metformin, an antidiabetic drug, has been reported to be involved in atherosclerosis (AS). In this study, the effects of metformin on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL)-induced macrophage apoptosis were investigated, and the mechanisms involved in this process were examined. : qRT-qPCR analysis was performed to detect the expression of miR-34a in macrophage cells.

This in vitro study aims to evaluate and compare transmembrane transport of eight cardio-cerebrovascular protection flavonoids including puerarin, rutin, hesperidin, quercetin, genistein, kaempferol, apigenin and isoliquiritigenin via the rat blood-brain barrier cell and Caco-2 cell monolayer models, based on the data of cytotoxicity and lipophilicity. The cytotoxicity of the flavonoids to rat brain microvessel endothelial cell was determined by the MTT assay. The apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) of the flavonoids were calculated from the unilateral transport assays in Transwell system with simultaneous determination using a high performance liquid chromatography.
