The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of forsythoside B (FB) on rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model and elucidate the potential mechanism. Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and +/-dp/dt(max) were detected. Blood samples were collected to determine serum levels of troponin T (Tn-T), TNF-alpha and IL-6. Hearts were harvested to assess histopathological change and infarct size, determine content of MDA, myeloperoxidase (MPO), SOD and GPx activities, analyze expression of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), phosphor-I kappaB-alpha and phosphor-nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in ischemic myocardial tissue by Western blot. Compared with control group, rats treatment with FB showed a significant recovery in myocardial function with improvement of LVSP and +/-dp/dt(max). The myocardial infarct volume, serum levels of Tn-T, TNF-alpha and IL-6, content of MDA and MPO activity in myocardial tissue were all reduced, protein expression of HMGB1, phosphor-I kappaB-alpha and phosphor-NF-kappaB were down-regulated, while attenuated the decrease of SOD and GPx activities. Besides, the infiltration of polymorph nuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and histopathological damages in myocardium were decreased in FB treated groups. These findings suggested that FB rescued cardiac function from I/R injury by limiting inflammation response and its antioxidant properties.

Background: The high incidence of thyroid nodules and their rapid growth in recent years have become an important issue affecting public health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) external treatments have unique advantages in treating this disease, but the currently available external preparations are relatively few and the therapeutic mechanism is unclear. Jiajiejian gel (JJJG) is a TCM external preparation developed by our team for the thyroid nodule treatment, which has been preliminarily proven to be safe and effective in clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of Forsythoside B (FB), an anti-inflammatory compound, in protecting against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) in rats.
- Rats were subjected to a transient blockage of the middle cerebral artery, and FB was administered before the injury to assess its effects on brain damage and inflammatory responses.
- Results showed that FB reduced brain injury, decreased inflammation, and activated Sirt1 while inhibiting the harmful NLRP3 pathway, indicating its promise as a neuroprotective treatment.

Purpose: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease with little effective treatment. The proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) induced by the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling activation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PAH. Forsythoside B (FTS•B) possesses inhibitory effect on NF-κB signaling pathway.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint pain and dysfunction syndrome resulting from severe joint degeneration. Inflammation and degeneration of the articular cartilage are two main features of OA and have tight interactions during OA progression. Conventional treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been widely utilized clinically, whereas the side effects have restricted their application.
