Aim Of The Study: the effect of total saponins of "panax notoginseng root" on aortic intimal hyperplasia and the expressions of cell cycle protein and extracellular matrix in rats
Materials And Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operated, control, TSPN and atorvastatin group. Rat aorta intima in all groups were injured by insertion of domestic balloon catheter into the aortae except sham-operated rats. Drugs were administrated orally from the second day after vascular injury and continued for 14 days. The injured segments of aortae were collected on the sixteenth day after operation to observe the morphological changes of vascular structure and to examine the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), cyclinD1, cyclinE, collagen I(Col-I), fibronect(FN), matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1).
Results: TPNS significantly inhibited the vascular intimal hyperplasia. TPNS significantly lowered the expression of PCNA, cyclinE, cyclinD1, FN and MMP-9. TPNS had no significant impacts on the expression of Col-I and TIMP-1.
Conclusions: Our studies indicated that TSPN could inhibit vessel restenosis after vascular intimal injury, and its mechanisms may be related to the blockage of the excessive proliferation of VSMC, the reduction of ECM protein deposition in the endometrium, and the degradation of ECM protein.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the foremost cause of mortality worldwide, with incidence and mortality rates persistently climbing despite extensive research efforts. Innovative therapeutic approaches are still needed to extend patients' lives and preserve their health. In the present study, novel supramolecular nanomedicine with both nitric oxide (NO) and antioxidant releasing ability was developed to enhance therapeutic efficacy against vascular injuries.

Article Synopsis
- Intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a major issue in vascular interventions, and this study investigates the role of gangliosides GA2 in its development.
- Researchers found that GA2 levels were significantly higher in atherosclerotic mouse aortae and plasma, and injecting GA2 worsened IH by interacting with macrophages.
- The study reveals that GA2 activates caspase-4 and promotes pyroptosis in macrophages, suggesting a new mechanism for IH that could lead to potential diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix is an important traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Our previous studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix can inhibit vascular intimal hyperplasia and improve the blood vessel wall's ECM deposition, among which six main active components can be absorbed into the blood, suggesting that these components may be the main pharmacodynamic substances of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix against vascular intimal hyperplasia.
Aim Of The Study: A mouse model of atherosclerosis was used to study the relationship between the anti-intimal hyperplasia effect of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix and the inhibition of VAF activation and ECM synthesis.

Synthetic vascular grafts are promising conduits for small caliber arteries. However, due to restenosis caused by intimal hyperplasia, they cannot keep long patency in vivo. In this work, through single cell RNA sequencing, we found that thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) was highly expressed in the regenerated smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts.
