Astragalus propinquus schischkin and Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge promote angiogenesis to treat myocardial ischemia via Ang-1/Tie-2/FAK pathway
2023 Jan 09 Frontiers in Pharmacology Zhang MX, Huang XY, Song Y, Xu WL, Li YL, Li C
Astragalus propinquus Schischkin (Huang Qi) and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Dan Shen) (AS) can treat myocardial ischemia (MI) by protecting cardiac function, attenuating cardiac pathological changes, and hindering the progression of heart failure, which is related to angiogenesis after pericyte recruitment.

The results of pharmacodynamics experiments showed that the drugs could reduce the neurological deficit score of model rats, reducing the size of cerebral infarction, with a significant effect on improving ischemic stroke. Overall, VOC-NE-ISG may be a promising intranasal nanomedicine for the effective treatment of ischemic stroke.

Schisantherin A (Sch A) exhibits diverse pharmacological effects, including anti-Parkinson, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-ischemia-reperfusion injury, anti-osteoclast formation, and cognitive enhancement properties. Its mechanism of action involves antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic pathways mediated by MAPK, NF-κB, AKT/GSK3β, and PI3K/AKT pathways.

Animal Study Acute Kidney Injury Acute Renal Ischemia Anti-Inflammatory
In the methodology, Sprague-Dawley rats in acute kidney injury state were divided into three groups: a healthy control, a group induced with renal ischemia/reperfusion (IR), and another group induced with renal IR and treated with walnut seed skin (WSS) extract. Blood, liver and kidney tissues were collected for serum evaluations of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, urea, and creatinine. Histopathological studies were performed on liver and kidney tissues, and gene markers related to anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and apoptotic effects were measured.
The results showed an improvement in deteriorated serum parameters in rats with renal ischemia pre-treated with WSS extract. Histopathological analysis revealed a protective effect of WSS on kidney and liver tissues. Though gene expression studies yielded diverse results for liver and kidney tissues, the consensus was that WSS had a pronounced protective impact on the liver. It was inferred that WSS's healing potential in renal and hepatic tissues seems to work via inhibiting inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.
Tian Ma, a traditional Chinese medicine, shows promise as a complementary therapy for aging-related diseases, including Alzheimer's and cerebrocardiovascular diseases.

Review Article Alzheimer's Disease Dementia
This study utilized previous research to methodically analyze the efficacy and safety of Tian Ma in treating aging-related diseases. Investigations spanned across various well-structured disease models, with particularly close attention paid to Alzheimer's Disease. The study trialed not just on its raw form, but also explored how it performs within different herbal preparations and as pure natural extracts.
The study's findings indicate that Tian Ma might present a viable alternative treatment for aging-related cerebrocardiovascular diseases and dementia. Specifically, its promising attributes were most noticeable in the context of complementary therapy for Alzheimer's Disease. The potential effectiveness of Tian Ma seems to be maintained across the various preparations, whether in herbal mixtures or as a pure natural product. The study thus concludes on a hopeful note regarding the use of Tian Ma in combatting debilitating age-linked conditions.
A 14-session course of needling at Fengchi is relatively safe for treating posterior circulation ischemia with vertigo.

Randomised Controlled Trial Headache & Migraine
Acupuncture at Fengchi (GB20) in the posterior neck improves vertigo. However, subarachnoid hemorrhage and spinal epidural hematoma have been reported to occur after acupuncture in the posterior neck. Therefore, in the present study, we assessed the safety of acupuncture at Fengchi.
Of the 136 patients, 120 completed the study. There were no significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment test results in any of the groups. Only five patients suffered from minor adverse events (needling pain, slight hematoma and transient chest tightness). No serious adverse events were found. Our results indicate that a 14-session course of needling at Fengchi is relatively safe for treating posterior circulation ischemia with vertigo.

Systematic Review Stroke Rehabilitation
Our findings indicate that acupuncture ameliorates neurological deficits and reduces brain edema in experimental ischemic stroke and the mechanisms positively correlate with endogenous neurogenesis, in which acupuncture therapy can promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of NSCs.

Wenxin Keli has been observed to have multiple positive functions in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial protection and anti-arrhythmia. Wenxin Keli (WXKL) played its cardioprotective roles by inhibiting inflammatory reaction, decreasing oxidative stress, regulating vasomotor disorders, lowering cell apoptosis, and protection against endothelial injure, myocardial ischemia, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiac hypertrophy.
