In our previous study, we provided evidence that Astragalus mongholicus Bunge(AM) and its extracts possess a protective capability against radiation-induced damage, potentially mediated through the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitric oxide (NO). However, were pleasantly surprised to discover during experimentation AM not only offers protection radiation damage but also exhibits sensitization effect. This effect may be attributed specific small molecule present in known as...
Ischemic stroke poses a major threat to human health. Therefore, the molecular mechanisms of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) need be further clarified, and associated treatment approaches require exploration. The NOD‑like receptor thermal protein domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome serves an important role in causing CIRI, its activation exacerbates underlying injury. Activation NLRP3 triggers maturation production inflammatory molecules IL‑1β IL‑18, as well gasdermin‑D‑mediated...
Ischemic stroke is a refractory disease wherein the reperfusion injury caused by sudden restoration of blood supply main cause increased mortality and disability.

The anti-inflammatory properties high density lipoprotein (HDL) can be compromised in MetS. Exercise recognized as an important factor the prevention treatment MetS.This study was designed to investigate whether walk/run training without any specific diet could enhance anti-inflammation capacity HDL from MetS patients.This case control study.The...
Abstract Glucocorticoids (GC) are widely used clinically, despite the presence of significant side effects, including glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). While GC believed to act directly on osteoblasts and osteoclasts promote osteoporosis, detailed underlying molecular mechanism GC-induced is still not fully elucidated. Here, we show that lymphocytes play a pivotal role in regulating osteoporosis. We GIOP could be induced SCID mice lack T cells, but it re-established by adoptive...
