This study aims to elucidate the biological effects of Baicalein (BA) on intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and the potential mechanisms involved. Network pharmacology analysis was performed to identify the core targets and signaling pathways responsible for the therapeutic effects of BA on IDD. In vitro validation was carried out using IL-1β-stimulated nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Cell viability, apoptosis, inflammatory...

This study established an LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage inflammatory injury model and an AS mouse vulnerable plaque model to observe the effect of JPHYP on macrophage inflammation, plaque formation, blood lipids, inflammation levels, intestinal flora and the influence of TLR4/MyD88/MAPK pathway, and explore the anti-AS effect and molecular mechanism of JPHYP, and detected 16S rRNA of mice intestinal microbes. The difference...
