We describe an improved immunohistochemical procedure for detecting regions of hypoxia in normal organs and tumors in mice. The method employs a primary fluorescein-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody directed against pimonidazole protein adducts that are created in hypoxic tissues and a secondary mouse anti-fluorescein antibody that is conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. Using these reagents, we clearly visualized the regions of relative hypoxia in implanted tumors in mice as well as in normal organs such as liver and kidney. Significantly, the resulting tissue sections were remarkably free of the background staining that is characteristically observed when rodent antibodies are used to detect antigens in rodent tissues.

Background: Sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common inflammatory conditions in intensive care, with ARDS significantly increasing mortality in septic patients. PANoptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death involving multiple cell death pathways, plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases. This study aims to elucidate the PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) and their involvement in the progression of sepsis to ARDS.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, but effective therapeutic drugs are still lacking. Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS), a natural product isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been shown to have ameliorative effects on NAFLD. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of DHTS on NAFLD and its mechanism.

This study investigated the protective effect of Dai Bai Jie (DBJ) extract against acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) and elucidated its potential mechanism. The total saponin level in the DBJ extracts was measured using vanillin-chloroform acid colorimetry. To observe the preventive and protective effects of DBJ on AML-12 cells in an ethanol environment, the effective components of DBJ were identified.

Stroke affects over 12 million people annually, leading to high mortality, long-term disability, and substantial healthcare costs. Although East Asian herbal medicines are widely used for stroke treatment, the pathways of operation they use remain poorly understood. Our study investigates the neuroprotective properties of (AM) in acute ischemic stroke using photothrombotic (PTB) and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse models, as well as an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model.

(Pm) is a widespread zoonotic pathogen with the ability to infect wild animals, livestock, and humans. Pm infection can cause haemorrhagic pneumonia, indicating that the pathogenesis involves serious vascular injury and inflammation. 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) has cardiovascular protective and anti-inflammatory effects, but its effect on vascular injury caused by Pm infection is not clear.
