Effect of salidroside on the immune function of BCG-infected macrophages by NI Shuyi, JIANG Zhao, WANG Zhongtao, HE Shumei

“…Compared with the BCG group, in the early stage of the infection, SAL and INH were able to significantly reduce the apoptotic levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells (P=0.008, P=0.032), and the combined application of SAL and INH significantly enhanced the apoptosis levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells in the late stage of infection (P=0.001).Conclusion·In BCG-infected macrophages, SAL can exhibit antimycobacterial effects on the host by enhancing macrophage immune function, suppressing intracellular bacterial survival, and concurrently mitigating the inflammatory response elicited by BCG infection.…”

Training‐induced change of diastolic function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by Andreas B. Gevaert, Ephraim B. Winzer, Stephan Mueller, Stephanie De Schutter, Paul J. Beckers, Jennifer Hommel, Axel Linke, Ulrik Wisløff, Volker Adams, Burkert Pieske, Martin Halle, Emeline M. Van Craenenbroeck, Caroline M. Van De Heyning

“…Conclusions In patients with HFpEF, exercise echocardiography revealed increases in filling pressures as well as a failure to augment right ventricular function during exercise. After 3 months of exercise training, HFpEF patients demonstrated a small improvement in diastolic function (exercise E/e′), but this did not explain the improved aerobic capacity.…”
