| 1 | Metabolism pathways of arachidonic acids:mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets显示文摘The arachidonic acid(AA)pathway plays a key role in cardiovascular biology,carcinogenesis,and many inflammatory diseases,such as asthma,arthritis,etc.Esterified AA on the inner surface of the cell membrane is hydrolyzed to its free form by phospholipase A2 (PLA2),which is in turn further metabolized by cyclooxygenases(COXs)and lipoxygenases(LOXs)and cytochrome P450(CYP)enzymes to a spectrum of bioactive mediators that includes prostanoids,leukotrienes(LTs),epoxyeicosatrienoic acids(EETs),dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid(diHETEs),eicosatetraenoic acids(ETEs),and lipoxins(LXs).Many of the latter mediators are considered to be novel preventive and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases(CVD),cancers,and inflammatory diseases.This review sets out to summarize the physiological and pathophysiological importance of the AA metabolizing pathways and outline the molecular mechanisms underlying the actions of AA related to its three main metabolic pathways in CVD and cancer.progression will provide valuable insight for developing new therapeutic drugs for CVD and anti-cancer agents such as inhibitors of EETs or 2J2.Thus,we herein present a synopsis of AA metabolism in human health,cardiovascular and cancer biology,and the signaling pathways involved in these processes.To explore the role of the AA metabolism and potential therapies,we also introduce the current newly clinical studies targeting AA metabolisms in the different disease conditions. | Bei Wang Lujin Wu Jing Chen Lingli Dong Chen Chen Zheng Wen Jiong Hu Ingrid Fleming Dao Wen Wang | 2021 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2021，6，3： | 7 |
| 2 | Effects of Shuanghuanglian oral liquids on patients with COVID-19:a randomized,open-label,parallel-controlled,multicenter clinical trial显示文摘We conducted a randomized,open-label,parallel-controlled,multicenter trial on the use of Shuanghuanglian(SHL),a traditional Chinese patent medicine,in treating cases of COVID-19.A total of 176 patients received SHL by three doses(56 in low dose,61 in middle dose,and 59 in high dose)in addition to standard care.The control group was composed of 59 patients who received standard therapy alone.Treatment with SHL was not associated with a difference from standard care in the time to disease recovery.Patients with 14-day SHL treatment had significantly higher rate in negative conversion of SARS-CoV-2 in nucleic acid swab tests than the patients from the control group(93.4%vs.73.9%,P=0.006).Analysis of chest computed tomography images showed that treatment with high-dose SHL significantly promoted absorption of inflammatory focus of pneumonia,which was evaluated by density reduction of inflammatory focus from baseline,at day 7(mean difference(95%CI),−46.39(−86.83 to−5.94)HU;P=0.025)and day 14(mean difference(95%CI),−74.21(−133.35 to−15.08)HU;P=0.014).No serious adverse events occurred in the SHL groups.This study illustrated that SHL in combination with standard care was safe and partially effective for the treatment of COVID-19. | Li Ni Zheng Wen Xiaowen Hu Wei Tang Haisheng Wang Ling Zhou Lujin Wu Hong Wang Chang Xu Xizhen Xu Zhichao Xiao Zongzhe Li Chene Li Yujian Liu Jialin Duan Chen Chen Dan Li Runhua Zhang Jinliang Li Yongxiang Yi Wei Huang Yanyan Chen Jianping Zhao Jianping Zuo Jianping Weng Hualiang Jiang Dao Wen Wang | 2021 | Frontiers of Medicine2021，15，5： | 7 |
