Clematichinenoside is a triterpenoid saponin isolated from the roots of Clematis chinensis. Oxidative stress and excessive nitric oxide production are thought to play considerable roles in ischemia/reperfusion injury that impairs cardiac function. The present study investigated the protective effect of clematichinenoside on regional and global ischemia/reperfusion injury and ventricular myocytes. In vivo, regional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury of rats was induced by the occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and isolated guinea pigs heart using Langendorff apparatus served as a global ischemia/reperfusion injury model ex vivo. Primary cultured neonatal ventricular myocytes were further applied to explore the anti-ischemia/reperfusion injury property in vitro. Infarct size was measured with TTC stain; enzyme activities such as lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, and nitric oxide were analyzed with assay kits; inducible nitric oxide synthase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expressions were determined by Western blot. Clematichinenoside attenuated infarct size, decreased lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and malondialdehyde levels and enhanced superoxide dismutase activity. Clematichinenoside improved hemodynamics indexes, such as left ventricular developed pressure, maximum left ventricular developed pressure, and increase/decrease rate (± dp/dtmax) in the isolated guinea pig heart after reperfusion. Clematichinenoside also inhibited excessive production of nitric oxide through downregulating inducible nitric oxide synthase as well as upregulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase during ischemia/reperfusion injury. Clematichinenoside attenuates ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro via an antioxidant effect and by restoring the balance between inducible nitric oxide synthase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase.

Background: Pelvic trauma can have long-lasting debilitating effects, including severe erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. While there are effective treatments for ED, these treat the symptoms not the cause. Those who suffer from an acute traumatic injury to the neurovascular supply of penis, may benefit from regenerative therapy.

Calcium-based nanomaterials-mediated Ca overload-induced pyroptosis and its application in tumor therapy have received considerable attention. However, the calcium buffering capacity of tumor cells can maintain mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, so it is important to effectively disrupt this homeostasis to activate pyroptosis. Here, a nano-modulator CUR@CaCO-PArg@HA (CCAH) was developed to regulate calcium overload in multiple channels and activate pyroptosis.

This study comprehensively explores the relationship between the structure of carboxymethyl-pachymaran (CMP) and its diverse biological activities, including immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory effects, tumor cell proliferation inhibition, and antioxidant activity. By adjusting preparation parameters, highly purified CMP samples with varying degrees of substitution (DS) and molecular weights (Mw) were successfully obtained. The results indicate that CMP, composed primarily of β-D-glucan, exhibits different levels of activity depending on its structural characteristics.
