One of the foremost mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of myocardial reperfusion injury is the adhesion of neutrophils within the myocardium. The initial neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions are mediated by the selectin family of adhesion molecules. Blockade of this group of adhesion
Baicalin belongs to glucuronic acid glycosides and after hydrolysis baicalein and glucuronic acid come into being. It has such effects as clearing heat and removing toxicity, anti-inflammation, choleresis, bringing high blood pressure down, diuresis, anti-allergic reaction and so on. In this study,
Heparin is a naturally occurring, complex glycosaminoglycan that has anticoagulant activity and has been used for decades as an antithrombotic agent in management of patients at high risk for thromboses.

A nuclear stress test is a relatively non-invasive diagnostic procedure that involves the injection of a small quantity of radioactive tracer into the bloodstream, administered in conjunction with myocardial perfusion imaging and a stress test, which challenges the functional capacity of the
This study was designed to investigate the chemical characterization of scrophularia ningpoensis polysaccharides (SNP) and its protective activity on the cerebral ischemia/reperfusin injury (CIRI) rats. SNP was successfully isolated and fractionated by anion exchange chromatography and gel
