Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Reduction of Sheng-Nao-Kang decoction (RSNK), composed of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge., Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge., Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi., Paeonia lactiflora Pall. and Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen., is a modified traditional Chinese medicinal formula of Sheng-Nao-Kang pill preparation, which has been investigated its protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat in our previous report.
Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the antithrombotic effect of RSNK in blood stasis model rats and explore the potential mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: Subcutaneous injection of norepinephrine and bovine serum albumin combined with ice water bath was used to establish the acute blood stasis rat model. The anticoagulant activities were investigated by measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), and the content of fibrinogen (FIB). Meanwhile, the levels of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), prostaglandins I2 (PGI2), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelin (ET) were detected.
Results: The treatment of RSNK was able to prolong APTT, TT and PT, and decrease FIB content obviously. Furthermore, it markedly suppressed TXB2 level and up-regulated 6-keto-PGF1α level of the blood-stasis model rats, accompanied with the decrease of T/K. The level of ET and TXA2 in plasma was down-regulated and the levels of eNOS in plasma and PGI2 in serum was up-regulated in RSNK-treated rats compared with model rats (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The present study suggested that RSNK possessed remarkable antithrombotic property in blood stasis model rats induced by ice water bath and subcutaneous injection of norepinephrine and bovine serum albumin. This property could be associated with its anticoagulation activity, the regulation of active substances in vascular endothelium and maintaining the balance of TXA2 and PGI2.

Dichlorvos (DDVP) is an organophosphorus pesticide commonly utilized in agricultural production. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to DDVP correlates with an increased incidence of liver disease. However, data regarding the hepatotoxicity of DDVP remain limited.

Background: Shenfu injection (SFI), derived from a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, is an effective drug for the treatment of sepsis-induced myocardial injury (SIMI) with good efficacy, but its exact therapeutic mechanism remains unclear.
Methods: SwissTargetPrediction and GeneCards database were used to obtain relevant targets for SFI and SIMI. STRING 11.

Neurological disorders are a substantial global health burden, affecting millions of people worldwide. A key challenge in developing effective treatments and preventive measures is the realization of low-power wearable systems with early detection capabilities. Traditional strategies rely on machine learning algorithms, but their computational demands often exceed what miniaturized systems can provide.

It is urgent for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to develop a robust and facile therapy for effective control of serum phosphate and reasonable regulation of gut microbiota, which are aiming to prevent cardiovascular calcification and reduce cardiovascular complications. Here, bioinspired by intestinal microstructures, we developed biomimetic wrinkled prebiotic-containing microspheres with enhanced intestinal retention and absorption for reducing hyperphosphatemia and vascular calcification of CKD model rats. The resultant CSM@5 microspheres exhibited favorable phosphate binding capacity in vitro and could effectively reduce serum concentration of phosphorous in vivo.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic systemic bone metabolism disorder. Promotion in the patterns of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation towards osteoblasts contributes to alleviating osteoporosis. Aucubin, a natural compound isolated from the well-known herbal medicine Eucommia, was previously shown to possess various pharmacological effects.
