Astragali Radix (AR) and Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (NR) are frequently employed in cardiovascular disease treatment. However, the efficacy of the AR-NR medicine pair (AN) in improving cardiac remodeling and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate AN's cardioprotective effect and potential mechanism on cardiac remodeling using transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in mice and angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and fibroblasts in vitro.

Background: The immunologic factors are the chief reason for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and induction of maternal-fetal tolerance is the main treatment for this cause of RPL, but the effect of this method is uncertainly and needs multiple doses and/or interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a single administration of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) can improve the pregnancy outcomes of RPL mice and whether the improvement is cause by TGF-β1 driving the expression of immune tolerance molecule indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, 40 RPL model mice were equally divided into a control group, that received 0.

Background: Induction of labour (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention in the UK, affecting up to 33% of deliveries. IOL aims to achieve a vaginal delivery prior to spontaneous onset of labour to prevent harm from ongoing pregnancy complications and is known to prevent stillbirths and reduce neonatal intensive care unit admissions. However, IOL doesn't come without risk and overall, 20% of mothers having an induction will still require a caesarean section birth and in primiparous mothers this rate is even higher.
