The morbidity and mortality of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasing year by year. Cortex Moutan is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been widely used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of diseases in Eastern countries due to its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Paeonol is a bioactive monomer extracted from Cortex Moutan, which has anti-atherosclerotic effects. In this article, we reviewed the pharmacological effects of paeonol against experimental atherosclerosis, as well as its protective effects on vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, platelets, and other important cell types. The pleiotropic effects of paeonol in atherosclerosis suggest that it can be a promising therapeutic agent for atherosclerosis and its complications. Large-scale randomized clinical trials are warranted to elucidate whether paeonol are effective in patients with ASCVD.

Article Synopsis
- Dahuang Mudan decoction (DMD) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat infectious diseases, and this study aims to evaluate its effects on septic mice and understand its mechanisms.
- Various tests, including sepsis models and blood tests, showed that DMD and its components significantly improved survival rates and reduced organ damage in septic mice, similar to a positive control drug (Xuebijing injection).
- The study concluded that DMD and its ingredients work by reducing inflammation and coagulation activation, suggesting a promising therapeutic potential for sepsis treatment.
Paeonol inhibits ACSL4 to protect chondrocytes from ferroptosis and ameliorates osteoarthritis progression.

Background: Discovering an inhibitor for acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), a protein that triggers cell injury via ferroptosis, presents potential to minimize cellular damage. This study investigates paeonol (PAE), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, as an ACSL4 inhibitor to prevent chondrocyte ferroptosis and protect against osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: We conducted experiments using mouse chondrocytes treated with PAE to mitigate ferroptosis induced by Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1β) or ferric ammonium citrate (FAC), examining intracellular ferroptotic indicators, cartilage catabolic markers, and ferroptosis regulatory proteins.

The effects of selenite (0, 15, 30, 45 mg L) on physiological characteristics and medicinal components of were analyzed. The results showed that selenite application promoted the activity of superoxide dismutase and the contents of soluble sugar, proline, carotenoids, total flavonoids, and total polyphenols, and decreased the contents of reactive oxygen species, relative electrical conductivity, and malondialdehyde. In addition, selenite also increased chlorophyll content, improved electron transfer ability, PSI and PSII performance, and the coordination between PSI and PSII, which significantly improved photosynthetic capacity.

Mastitis is an inflammatory udder disease that causes important economic losses in the animal breeding and dairy product industries. While antibiotics have contributed to disease control, their use presents risks due to drug residues in livestock products that can potentially threaten human health. Paeonol, an active ingredient extracted from the dried root bark of paeonia suffruticosa, exhibits various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, but its role in mastitis remains unclear.
