Cardioprotective effect of rosmarinic acid against myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury via suppression of the NF-κB inflammatory signalling pathway and ROS production in mice
Context: Rosmarinic acid (RosA), a natural poly-phenolic compound isolated from a variety of Labiatae herbs, has been reported to have a range of biological effects. Objective: To investigate the cardioprotective effects of RosA against myocardial …

Acute Kidney Injury Results in Long-Term Diastolic Dysfunction That Is Prevented by Histone Deacetylase Inhibition
Growing epidemiological data demonstrate that acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Here, the authors present a 1-year study of cardiorenal outcomes following bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury …

The Role of NLRP3 Inflammasome in Pericarditis: Potential for Therapeutic Approaches
Human samples of patients with chronic pericarditis and appropriate control subjects were stained for the inflammasome components. A mouse model of pericarditis was developed through the intrapericardial injection of zymosan A. Different inflammasome …

Calycosin attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via autophagy regulation in zebrafish models
Anthracyclines are highly effective chemotherapeutics for antineoplastic treatment. However, cumulative cardiotoxicity is the main side effect with poor prognosis. No mechanism-based therapy is currently available to reverse chronic anthracycline-induced …

One-step synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles for CT/PA imaging guided breast cancer photothermal therapy
Advances in nanotheranostics have promoted the development of precision medicine, which has great potential as a weapon for clinical diagnosis and therapy of tumors. However, the combination of three functional principle components (imaging probes, …

Long noncoding rna sox2-ot aggravates doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocyte by targeting mir-942-5p/dp5
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play important roles in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. However, the function of lncRNA SOX2-OT is unclear. This study was carried out to investigate the function of SOX2-OT in …

CXCR7 ameliorates myocardial infarction as a β-arrestin-biased receptor
Most seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs) are G protein-coupled receptors; however, some 7TMRs evoke intracellular signals through β-arrestin as a biased receptor. As several β-arrestin-biased agonists have been reported to be cardioprotective, we …

Sestrin2 is an endogenous antioxidant that improves contractile function in the heart during exposure to ischemia and reperfusion stress
Little research has been published on emotional responses evoked by completely new, innovative food products. The objectives of the present study were 1) to assess the emotional response to new products (fruit and vegetable smoothies in a drink pouch) in …

Functional Transdermal Nanoethosomes Enhance Photodynamic Therapy of Hypertrophic Scars via Self-Generating Oxygen
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new therapeutic strategy for hypertrophic scars (HSs), and nanoethosomes (ES) have attracted considerable attention as an efficient transdermal delivery system for PDT ofHSs (HS-PDT). However, the delivery of …

Comparative studies on regional variations in PM2.5 in the induction of myocardial hypertrophy in mice
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been indicated to be related to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in sensitive people. However, the underlying mechanisms of PM2.5-induced CVDs are poorly understood. In the present study, …
