We report on a fairly familiar alternative use of injection chloroquine in district hospitals in Ghana. Within a period of three years, pain control among six patients with scorpion sting was achieved successfully on an outpatient department basis with injection chloroquine at the Holy Family Hospital, Techiman, Ghana.

Protective mechanism of safflower yellow injection on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by activating NLRP3 inflammasome.

Institute of Basic Medical Sciences of Xiyuan Hospital, Beijing Key Laboratory of Chinese Materia Pharmacology, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, National Clinical Research Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Cardiovascular Diseases, Beijing, China.
Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

RETREG1/FAM134B is known for its role as a reticulophagy receptor. Our previous study established that RETREG1 is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and contributes to disease progression by activating the AKT signaling pathway. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the elevated expression of RETREG1 in HCC remain unclear.
