Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Xiao-xu-ming decoction (XXMD), a prominent traditional Chinese medicinal formula historically revered for stroke treatment, demonstrates pronounced efficacy in ameliorating ischemic stroke injury.
Aim Of The Study: This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of XXMD on neuroprotection subsequent to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in vivo and in vitro.
Materials And Methods: Neurobehavioral test, TTC staining, HE staining and nissl staining were used to examine the neuroprotective effect of XXMD on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats.

Heterochromatin organization is critical to many genome-related programs including transcriptional silencing and DNA repair. While super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, and multiomics methods have provided indirect insights into the heterochromatin organization, a direct measurement of mesoscale heterochromatin ultrastructure is still missing. We use a combination of correlative light microscopy and cryo-soft X-ray tomography (CLXT) to analyze heterochromatin organization in the intact hydrated state of human mammary fibroblast cells.

Cytokine storm is a life-threatening disorder, and therapeutic treatments are urgently needed. Here, we investigated the anti-cytokine storm efficacy of DBDx, a triple drug combination composed of dipyridamole, ubenimex and dexamethasone. Evaluated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine storm murine model, DBDx significantly improved survival rate and prolonged survival time of the model mice.

Background The use of corticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone, for pain management is a common clinical practice. However, it is well known that corticosteroids induce toxicity in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-derived stromal cells and chondrocytes. Growth factors from platelets have anti-inflammatory effects that can potentially limit the cytotoxic effects of corticosteroids.

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity induces significant disruptions in growth and development, plants have developed strategies to alleviate metal toxicity promoting establishment even during herbivores infestation. The study demonstrates that W. trilobata maintains growth and development under the combined stress of Cd exposure and herbivore invasion by Spodoptera litura, in contrast to W.
