Abstract Background Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke with the high mortality twofold to sixfold higher than that for ischemic stroke. But treatment haematomas within basal ganglia continues be matter debate among neurologists and neurosurgeons. The purpose this study judge short-term long-term clinical value minimally invasive stereotactic puncture therapy (MISPT) on acute ICH. Methods A prospective controlled was undertaken. trial in compliance WMA...

We explored the therapeutic effects of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP) on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis with respect to intestinal hepatic axis using a rat model. Histopathological staining results showed that DOP alleviated extensive fibrous tissue proliferation in interstitium and lessened mucosal damage. Western blot PCR maintained balance by upregulating expression tight junction proteins such as occludin, claudin-1, ZO-1, Bcl-2 while downregulating Bax caspase-3 intestine. The...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common that currently has no standard treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Lycium ruthenicum extract (LRE) on high‑fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD, and elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms. To determine hepatoprotective effect LRE, C57BL/6 mice were fed normal control diet, (HFD), HFD supplemented with 2 g/kg or 5 LRE. Treatment LRE markedly decreased levels triglycerides, total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase...

Objective . Oxidant stress plays an important role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Previously we reported that Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) rescued heart dysfunction and cardinal pathological abnormalities mice. In current study, determined whether effect APS on cardiomyopathy was associated with its impact oxidant stress. Methods Db/db mice were employed administered APS. The hematodynamics, cardiac ultra-structure, apoptosis, ROS formation myocardium assessed. protein...

Most small molecular chemotherapeutics have poor water solubility and unexpected pharmacokinetics toxicity to normal tissues. A series of nano drug delivery systems been developed solve the problems, among which a micelle based on linear-dendritic polymer-drug conjugates (LDPDCs) is promising strategy deliver hydrophobic due its size, fine stability in blood circulation, high loading capacity. In this work we synthesized novel amphiphilic PEG-PTX8 conjugate can also encapsulate extra free...
