Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a major role in angiogenesis by stimulating cells. Increase cyclic AMP (cAMP) level inhibits VEGF-induced cell proliferation and migration. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which specifically hydrolyse nucleotides, are critical the regulation of this signal transduction. We have previously reported that PDE2 PDE4 up-regulations human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) implicated inhibition activities prevents development vitro increasing...

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical practice, TCM syndromes help to understand human homeostasis and guide individualized treatment. However, the syndrome changes with disease progression, of which scientific basis mechanism remain unclear.To demonstrate underlying dynamic in syndrome, we applied a network biomarker (DNB) algorithm obtain DNBs based on transcriptomic data patients chronic hepatitis B typical syndromes, including healthy controls liver-gallbladder dampness-heat...

Fuzheng-Huayu (FZHY) formula has been found to have a satisfactory effect on hepatitis B-caused cirrhosis (HBC) treatment. However, the efficacy evaluation of FZHY is often challenging. In this study, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial was used evaluate therapeutic in HBC trial, 35 medical indexes were detected, 14 had statistically-significant difference before compared after trial. Importantly, Child-Pugh score also demonstrated having efficacy. Furthermore, microRNA...

Abstract Hepatitis B is one of most etiologies Liver cirrhosis in China, and clinically lacks the effective strategy for caused (HBC) therapy. As a complementary alternative medicine, Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) has special therapeutic effects HBC. Here, we focus on evolution process HBC TCM syndromes, which was from Excessive (Liver-Gallbladder Dampness-Heat Syndrome, LGDHS) to Deficient (Liver-Kidney Deficiency LKYDS) via Excessive-Deficient syndrome (Liver-Depression...
