Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, comprising a variety of disorders such as hypertension, heart attacks, Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), dyslipidemias, strokes, coronary heart disease, and cardiomyopathies. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that 22.2 million people will die from CVD in 2030. Conventional treatments for CVDs are often quite expensive and also have several side effects. This potentiates the use of medicinal plants, which are still a viable alternative therapy for a number of diseases, including CVD. Natural products' cardio-protective effects result from their anti-oxidative, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-ischemic, and platelet aggregation-inhibiting properties. The conventional therapies used to treat CVD have the potential to be explored in light of the recent increase in the popularity of natural goods and alternative medicine. Some natural products with potential in the management of cardiovascular diseases such as , etc. are discussed in this article.

One of the prevailing trends in contemporary agriculture is the application of biological control. Nevertheless, several reports suggest that biocontrol bacteria exhibit poor survival rates in host plants. Consequently, the concept of shielding biological control agents by encapsulating them in outer coatings has gained popularity.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Chiglitazar combined with Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRT) in inpatients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome (MetS).100 cases were included and divided into the Siglitazar group (n=50) and the Siglitazar + RRT group (n=50) Anthropometric measurements, lipid and glucose metabolism indicators, inflammatory markers and PANSS scores were assessed at baseline, 8 weeks and 12 weeks post-treatment. Both treatment groups exhibited significant reductions in waist circumference and improvements in lipid profiles and glucose metabolism indicators over the 12-week study period.
