Tanshinone IIA attenuates silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis via inhibition of TGF-β1-Smad signaling pathway.
PMID: Biomed Pharmacother. 2020 Jan ;121:109586. Epub 2019 Nov 6. PMID: 31706104 Abstract Title: Tanshinone IIA attenuates silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis via inhibition of TGF-β1-Smad signaling pathway. Abstract: Transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β1) is a key mediator in fibrogenesis, and is upregulated and activated in fibrotic diseases. The exact role of TGF-β1-Smad signaling in the progression …

Tanshinone IIA protects mice against atherosclerotic injury by activating the TGF-β/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway.
PMID: Coron Artery Dis. 2019 Dec 13. Epub 2019 Dec 13. PMID: 31842027 Abstract Title: Tanshinone IIA protects mice against atherosclerotic injury by activating the TGF-β/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Explored the mechanism of action of tanshinone IIA (TIIA) against atherosclerosis.METHODS: ApoE mice were divided into two groups of 10: model and TIIA. A control group …
Influenza vaccination resulted in a statistically significant CRP response of 0.35 mg/L, representing a 30.2% increase from baseline.
PMID: Vaccine. 2015 Apr 21 ;33(17):2004-8. Epub 2015 Mar 18. PMID: 25795257 Abstract Title: C-reactive protein response to influenza vaccination as a model of mild inflammatory stimulation in the Philippines. Abstract: BACKGROUND: C-reactive protein (CRP) is increasingly measured as a marker of systemic inflammation that predicts elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. Influenza vaccination is a …
These findings show that the influenza vaccination causes transient changes in select markers of inflammation (elevation of CRP) and lipids.
PMID: J Lab Clin Med. 2005 Jun ;145(6):323-7. PMID: 15976761 Abstract Title: Effect of influenza vaccine on markers of inflammation and lipid profile. Abstract: Despite wide use of the influenza vaccine, relatively little is known about its effect on the measurement of inflammatory markers. Because inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) are increasingly being …
Abnormalities in arterial function and LDL oxidation may persist for at least 2 weeks after a slight inflammatory reaction induced by influenza vaccination.
PMID: Ann Med. 2007 ;39(5):392-9. PMID: 17701480 Abstract Title: Residual adverse changes in arterial endothelial function and LDL oxidation after a mild systemic inflammation induced by influenza vaccination. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Several clinical studies have suggested possible increase in cardiovascular risk during and in the first weeks after an acute inflammatory disease. Using influenza vaccine as …
The tuberculosis vaccine induced an interleukin-10 producing T-cell population with no T helper 1 or 2 bias in vitro. While this may restrict excessive inflammation (beneficial) it could also act as an immunosuppressant.
PMID: Immunology. 2007 Jun ;121(2):276-82. Epub 2007 Mar 20. PMID: 17371543 Abstract Title: BCG stimulated dendritic cells induce an interleukin-10 producing T-cell population with no T helper 1 or T helper 2 bias in vitro. Abstract: Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has been associated with beneficial effects on overall childhood mortality in low-income countries; …
Early pertussis vaccination stimulates a polarized T-cell memory profile.
PMID: Vaccine. 2010 Mar 19 ;28(14):2648-52. Epub 2010 Jan 20. PMID: 20096390 Abstract Title: Th2-polarisation of cellular immune memory to neonatal pertussis vaccination. Abstract: Current infant vaccination against pertussis in North America and Australia requires three doses of vaccines including diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis antigens (DTaP) at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. …
