| 1 | Schizonepeta tenuifolia inhibits collagen stimulated platelet function via suppressing MAPK and Akt signaling显示文摘The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases(CVDs)is increasing at a rapid pace in developed countries,and CVDs are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality.Natural products and ethnomedicine have been shown to reduce the risk of CVDs.Schizonepeta(S.)tenuifolia is a medicinal plant widely used in China,Korea,and Japan and is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,and immunomodulatory activities.We hypothesized that given herbal plant exhibit pharmacological activities against CVDs,we specifically explored its effects on platelet function.Platelet aggregation was evaluated using standard light transmission aggregometry.Intracellular calcium mobilization was assessed using Fura-2/AM,and granule secretion(ATP release)was measured in a luminometer.Fibrinogen binding to integrin a_(Ⅱb)β_3,was assessed using flow cytometry.Phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling molecules and activation of the protein kinase B(Akt)was assessed using Western blot assays.S.tenuifolia,extract potently and significantly inhibited platelet aggregation,calcium mobilization,granule secretion,and fibrinogen binding to integrin a_(Ⅱb)β_3.Moreover,all extracts significantly inhibited MAPK and Akt phosphorylation.S.tenuifolia extract inhibited platelet aggregation and granule secretion,and attenuated collagen mediated GPVI downstream signaling,indicating the potential therapeutic effects of these plant extracts on the cardiovascular system and platelet function.We suggest that S.tenuifolia extract may be a potent candidate to treat platelet-related CVDs and to be used as an antiplatelet and antithrombotic agent. | Bo-Ra Jeon Muhammad Irfan Minki Kim Seung Eun Lee Jeong Hoon Lee Man Hee Rhee | 2019 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2019，33，4： | 6 |
| 2 | Scalp electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20) improves functional recovery in rats with cerebral ischemia Association with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factors显示文摘In this study, we induced cerebral infarction in rats by occluding the right middle cerebral artery, and tested the effects of electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20). Motor and sensory function was tested using Garcia’s scale and motor weakness grading, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the brain was quantified using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. We found that scalp electroacupuncture at DU 20 significantly improved motor performance and sensory function in rats with stroke, and this was accompanied by an increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the ischemic brain tissue and peri-ischemic area. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis showed that the improvements in functional recovery were correlated with the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. | Min-Wook Kim You Chul Chung Hee Chan Jung Moon-Seo Park Young-Min Han Yong-An Chung Lee-So Maeng Sang-In Park Jiyeon Lim Seung Chan Kim Woo-Seok Im Jin Young Chung Minky Kim Manho Kim | 2011 | Neural Regeneration Research2011，6，36： | 4 |
