Similarities and differences between Ziqin and Kuqin in anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant activities and their core chemical composition based on the zebrafish model and spectrum-effect relationship.

Researchers investigated the differences between two specifications of Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission no longer distinguishes between them, but they are still sold separately.

Chinese traditional formula Kaixin San suppressed ferroptosis of hippocampal neurons and cardiomyocytes in mice with paradoxical sleep deprivation.

Kaixin San (KXS) is a traditional Chinese medicine used for emotion-thought diseases. Researchers investigated whether it benefits hippocampal neurons and myocardial cells of mice with paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) and its mechanism. KXS was found to effectively improve PSD-induced damage to the hippocampus and myocardium, likely due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These findings suggest KXS may be a potential treatment for sleep deprivation-related diseases.
