Syringin: a naturally occurring compound with medicinal properties.

Syringin, a phenylpropanoid glycoside, is widely distributed in various plants, such as (Rupr. et Maxim.) Harms, (BL) Hara var.

Exercise performance reduction and preventive measures in highland sports.

The plateau is a special environment with low pressure, low oxygen, low temperature, and high ultraviolet radiation. The exercise performance of people on the plateau is generally reduced, which seriously affects the life and health of people living in the plateau and entering the plateau. In recent years, the prevention and treatment of injury caused by high altitude hypoxia has attracted wide attention.

Medication rule of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of plateau hypoxia based on data mining.

Objectives: The development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the plateau area is relatively backward. There is a lack of system to analyze the effects of the special environment of plateau low pressure and hypoxia on human meridians qi and blood, as well as the etiology and pathogenesis of plateau hypoxic diseases. To analyze the composition rules of anti-hypoxia TCM formulation with data mining methods.

Effect of different hypoxic and hypobaric interventions on blood gas and erythrocyte-related indicators in rats.

Objectives: To explore the effects of hypoxic and hypobaric conditions on blood gas and erythrocyte-related indicators in rats.

Methods: SD male rats were exposed to low-pressure hypoxic conditions simulating an altitude of 6500 m in a small or a large experimental cabin. Abdominal aortic blood samples were collected and blood gas indicators, red blood cells (RBCs) count, and hemoglobin (Hb) content were measured.

[CiteSpace knowledge map of research status and trends of Croci Stigma].

This study retrieved Croci Stigma related literature from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and Web of Science database, and used bibliometrics and CiteSpace 6.1.R2 software to analyze the published Croci Stigma related articles in Chinese and English from 2000 to 2022.

[Risk assessment, safe medication and scientific supervision of traditional Chinese medicine containing aristolochic acids--toxicity is different among aristolochic acids, and detection and control of aristolochic acid Ⅰ/Ⅱ is critical].

The safety problem of traditional Chinese medicine containing aristolochic acid is of great concern in China and abraod, which poses a challenge in clinical application and supervision. There are many types of aristolochic acid analogues(AAAs) and 178 have been reported. According to the structure, they are classified into aristolochic acids(AAs) and aristololactams(ALs).

[Compatibility for toxicity attenuation of toxic traditional Chinese medicine: a review and strategies].

Toxicity-attenuating compatibility is an effective measure to ensure the safety of Chinese medicine. Involving the origin, processing method, compatibility mode, and dosage, it faces multiple challenges, such as the uncertainty of toxic substances, toxicity latency, indefinite safe dose, complex toxicity-efficacy relationship, and individual difference. As a result, research on clinical safety of Chinese medicine is limited by the consistency at "molecular-cellular-organ-overall" levels, unclear interaction of multiple medicinals and multiple substances, the "toxicity-efficacy-compatibility-syndrome" correlation, and the "dosage-time-toxicity-efficacy" conversion law.

Mechanistic target of rapamycin-mediated autophagy is involved in the alleviation of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rats.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a complex clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality rates. Autophagy is an adaptive process that plays a complex role in ALI. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of autophagy on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury by establishing a rat ALI model and to further explore the possible mechanisms involved.

and Ameliorate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Rats by Regulating the Toll-Like Receptor 4/Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Signaling Pathway.

and (AM/SM) are well used in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) for nourishing Qi and activating blood circulation method. From TCM theory, the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) was determined as Qi deficiency and blood stagnation. In this study, we are aiming to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of AM/SM on a rat model of lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced ALI in rats and to elucidate potential molecular mechanisms.

[Study and opinion on toxicity of aristolochic acid].

On October 18th, 2017, a research article named "Aristolochic acids and their derivatives are widely implicated in liver cancers in Taiwan and throughout Asia" was published on Science Translational Medicine. This article pointed out that herbs containing aristolochic acids could cause liver cancer by inducing the specific "aristolochic acids mutational signature". The public was also suggested to avoid the intake of herbs containing aristolochic acids.

Ginsenoside Rg1 inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

Aim: To investigate the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) affected by ginsenoside Rg1 and further explore the molecular mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 using proteomics.

Methods: The proliferation of VSMC was measured by MTS assay kit and flow cytometry. Proteomic alterations were analyzed using two-dimensional electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting.
