Corruption in Global Health Care May Exceed $1 TRILLION
Dishonesty and fraud in the health care system are significant barriers to the implementation of universal health coverage, yet this corruption is rarely if ever discussed
Glycyrrhizin may become a novel cytokine for the therapy of intervertebral disc degeneration in the future.
PMID: Am J Transl Res. 2019 ;11(8):5105-5113. Epub 2019 Aug 15. PMID: 31497226 Abstract Title: Glycyrrhizin suppresses inflammation and cell apoptosis by inhibition of HMGB1 via p38/p-JUK signaling pathway in attenuating intervertebral disc degeneration. Abstract: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is associated with the nucleus pulposus (NP) cells inflammation and apoptosis. Previous studies have shown that …
Glycyrrhizin mitigates radiation‐induced acute lung injury.
PMID: J Cell Mol Med. 2020 Jan ;24(1):214-226. Epub 2019 Oct 27. PMID: 31657123 Abstract Title: Glycyrrhizin mitigates radiation-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the HMGB1/TLR4 signalling pathway. Abstract: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is the major complication of thoracic radiation therapy, and no effective treatment is available. This study explored the role of high-mobility group …
