Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a major complication of thoracic radiotherapy. A previous study has indicated an association between berberine (BBR) and reduced incidence of RILI. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here we validated the radioprotective role of BBR in mouse...
Although itaconate demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties as an immunomodulatory metabolite, the therapeutic potential and mechanistic basis of vaccine-induced or prophylactic itaconate administration in COVID-19 intervention remains underexplored. Our studies reveal that int...
Sepsis-associated acute lung injury (SALI) is a life-threatening pulmonary complication triggered by sepsis, which carries a notably high mortality rate. We constructed a rat model of SALI and administered Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction (XCD) as treatment, after which untargeted serum metabolomics ana...
The ancient Chinese medicinal formula, Dayuan Yin (DYY), has a long history of use in treating respiratory ailments and shown to be effective in treating acute infectious diseases. This study aims to explore how DYY may impact intestinal flora and metabolites induced by acute lung injury (ALI). A...
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a lung disease characterized by an excessive inflammatory response and damage to lung epithelial cells. Atractylodin (ATL) is the main active component of Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC., which has good anti-inflammatory activity and protects the integrity of the epith...
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a severe side effect of radiation therapy, characterized by lung tissue damage, inflammation, and organ dysfunction. Although fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has shown potential in alleviating radiation-induced damage, its underlying mechanisms ...
