    Abstract The vascular endothelium is vital in maintaining cardiovascular health by regulating vascular permeability and tone, preventing thrombosis, and controlling vascular inflammation. However, when oxidative stress triggers endothelial dysfunction, it can lead to chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This happens due to oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory responses, and reduced levels of nitric oxide. These factors cause damage to endothelial cells, leading to the acceleration of CVD progression. Melatonin, a natural antioxidant, has been shown to inhibit oxidative stress and stabilize endothelial function, providing cardiovascular protection. The clinical application of melatonin in the prevention and treatment of CVDs has received widespread attention. In this review, based on bibliometric studies, we first discussed the relationship between oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction and CVDs, then summarized the role of melatonin in the treatment of atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other CVDs. Finally, the potential clinical use of melatonin in the treatment of these diseases is discussed.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis, the main pathological basis of cardiovascular disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease that severely affects the quality of human life. Resveratrol (Res) is a natural polyphenol that is a major component of many herbs and foods. The present study analyzed resveratrol from the perspective of visualization and bibliometric analysis and found that resveratrol is closely related to the inflammatory response in cardiovascular diseases (associated with atherosclerosis). To explore the specific molecular mechanism of resveratrol, network pharmacology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used, in which HIF-1

    Abstract Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a pathophysiological process connected to the onset of numerous heart disorders. The pathogenesis of MIRI is complex, and it mainly involves calcium overload, classic oxidative stress, mitochondrial disorder, inflammation, microvascular disorder, and cell death. The clinical treatment options for MIRI are presently constrained, making it imperative to develop new treatment modalities. Recent studies have demonstrated that ferroptosis is the main cause of MIRI. Ferroptosis is a new type of regulated iron-dependent cell death whose mechanism and targeted therapy are anticipated to be novel therapeutic techniques for MIRI. Herein, the primary mechanism underlying ferroptosis (the 3 major metabolic routes involving iron, amino acids, and lipids, and in MIRI, the specific mechanism and therapeutic target of ferroptosis) are discussed to determine the potential therapeutic approach for MIRI.

    Abstract In this study, a novel sponge phosphoric acid functionalized porous composite adsorbent (named SPCCHC) was prepared from chitosan and chlorella hydrothermal charcoal. Kinetics and thermodynamics experiments showed that the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of SPCCHC to U(VI) is 579.27 mg/g (288 K, pH = 6.5), indicating a spontaneous exothermic reaction. SPCCHC showed good adsorption selectivity for uranium in the adsorption studies of simulated seawater and a mixed solution of uranium-vanadium. The characterization of SPCCHC before and after U(VI) adsorption proves that the introduction of the phosphate group can greatly improve the adsorption effect of the adsorbent on uranium, particularly the distribution coefficients of uranium and vanadium differ by up to 89.5 times. At the same time, SPCCHC has good recycling performance, which is expected to be used in natural seawater uranium extraction.

    Abstract In order to improve the removal rate of uranium and reduce the harm of radioactive pollution, a physically crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol/phosphorylated chitosan (PPP) hydrogel electrode was designed by freezing thawing method. The results show that PPP hydrogel has a good adsorption effect on uranium, and 200 mL of uranium tailings leachate is absorbed, and the treatment efficiency reaches 100 % within 15 min. PPP hydrogel can adapt to a wide range of pH conditions and exhibit excellent adsorption efficiency in the range of 3-9. At the same time, PPP hydrogel maintains an adsorption efficiency of over 85 % for 950 mg/L uranium solution. This lays the foundation for the practical application of PPP hydrogel. In addition, PPP hydrogel also exhibits good repeatability, after 7 cycles, the material still retains 95 % of its initial performance. The synergistic effect of various functional groups such as phosphate, hydroxyl, and ammonium in the material is the main mechanism of PPP's adsorption capacity for uranium. Furthermore, electrochemical adsorption method significantly enhances the adsorption performance of PPP hydrogel.

    Abstract Apples and their products exemplify the recently reemphasized link between dietary fruit intake and the alleviation of human disease. Their consumption does indeed improve human health due to their high phytochemical content. To identify potentially relevant articles from clinical trials, some epidemiological studies and meta-analyses, and in vitro and in vivo studies (cell cultures and animal models), PubMed was searched from January 1, 2012, to May 15, 2022. This review summarized the potential effects of apple and apple products (juices, puree, pomace, dried apples, extracts rich in apple bioactives and single apple bioactives) on health. Apples and apple products have protective effects against cardiovascular diseases, cancer, as well as mild cognitive impairment and promote hair growth, healing of burn wounds, improve the oral environment, prevent niacin-induced skin flushing, promote the relief of UV-induced skin pigmentation, and improve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis as well as cedar hay fever among others. These effects are associated with various mechanisms, such as vascular endothelial protection, blood lipids lowering, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anti-invasion, and antimetastatic effects. Meanwhile, it has provided an important reference for the application and development of medicine, nutrition, and other fields.

    Abstract The intricate nature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis poses a persistent obstacle to drug development. In recent times, neuroinflammation has emerged as a crucial pathogenic mechanism of AD, and the targeting of inflammation has become a viable approach for the prevention and management of AD. The present study conducted a comprehensive review of the literature between October 2012 and October 2022, identifying a total of 96 references, encompassing 91 distinct pharmaceuticals that have been investigated for their potential impact on AD by inhibiting neuroinflammation. Research has shown that pharmaceuticals have the potential to ameliorate AD by reducing neuroinflammation mainly through regulating inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF‑κB, MAPK, NLRP3, PPARs, STAT3, CREB, PI3K/Akt, Nrf2 and their respective signaling pathways. Among them, tanshinone IIA has been extensively studied for its anti‑inflammatory effects, which have shown significant pharmacological properties and can be applied clinically. Thus, it may hold promise as an effective drug for the treatment of AD. The present review elucidated the inflammatory signaling pathways of pharmaceuticals that have been investigated for their therapeutic efficacy in AD and elucidates their underlying mechanisms. This underscores the auspicious potential of pharmaceuticals in ameliorating AD by impeding neuroinflammation.

    Abstract The inflammasome regulates innate immunity by serving as a signaling platform. The Nod‑like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, equipped with NLRP3, the adaptor protein apoptosis‑associated speck‑like protein (ASC) and pro‑caspase‑1, is by far the most extensively studied and well‑characterized inflammasome. A variety of stimuli can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. When activated, the NLRP3 protein recruits the adaptor ASC protein and activates pro‑caspase‑1, resulting in inflammatory cytokine maturation and secretion, which is associated with inflammation and pyroptosis. However, the aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been linked to various inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, the NLRP3 inflammasome has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases. In the present review, systematic searches were performed using 'NLRP3 inhibitor(s)' and 'inflammatory disease(s)' as key words. By browsing the literature from 2012 to 2022, 100 articles were retrieved, of which 35 were excluded as they were reviews, editorials, retracted or unavailable online, and 65 articles were included. According to the retrieved literature, the current understanding of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway activation in inflammatory diseases was summarize, and inhibitors of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway targeting the NLRP3 protein and other inflammasome components or products were highlighted. Additionally, the present review briefly discusses the current novel efforts in clinical research.

    Abstract Background: The primary cause of acute cardiovascular events with high mortality is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque followed by thrombosis. Sodium Danshensu (SDSS) has shown potential in inhibiting the inflammatory response in macrophages and preventing early plaque formation in atherosclerotic mice. However, the specific targets and detailed mechanism of action of SDSS are still unclear.
    Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of SDSS in inhibiting inflammation in macrophages and stabilizing vulnerable plaques in atherosclerosis (AS).
    Materials and methods: The efficacy of SDSS in stabilizing vulnerable plaques was demonstrated using various techniques such as ultrasound, Oil Red O staining, HE staining, Masson staining, immunohistochemistry, and lipid analysis in ApoE
    Results: Initially, the administration of SDSS led to a decrease in the formation and area of aortic plaque, while also stabilizing vulnerable plaques in ApoE
    Conclusions: SDSS stabilized vulnerable plaques and suppressed inflammatory responses by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway through its targeting of IKKβ.

    Abstract Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) results from complex interaction between heart and kidneys, inducing simultaneous acute or chronic dysfunction of these organs. Although its incidence rate is increasing with higher mortality in patients, effective clinical treatment drugs are currently not available. The literature suggests that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and diuretic natriuretic peptide (NP) system run through CRS. Drugs only targeting the RAAS and NPs systems are not effective. Sacubitril/valsartan contains two agents (sacubitril and valsartan) that can regulate RAAS and NPs simultaneously. In the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/American Heart Failure (HF) ssociation (ACC/AHA/HFSA) guideline, sacubitril/valsartan was recommended as standard therapy for HF patients. The latest research shows that Combined levosimendan and Sacubitril/Valsartan markets are protected the heart and kidney against cardiovascular syndrome in rat. However, fewer studies have reported its therapeutic efficacy in CRS treatment, and their results are inconclusive. Therefore, based on RAAS and NPs as CRS biomarkers, this paper summarizes possible pathophysiological mechanisms and preliminary clinical application effects of sacubitril/valsartan in the prevention and treatment of CRS. This will provide a pharmacological justification for expanding sacubitril/valsartan use to the treatment of CRS.
