Abstract excerpt
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XFZY), a classic formula for "blood stasis syndrome", has insufficient evidence for its thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) therapeutic efficacy and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF STUDY: This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy, mechanism, and key components of XFZY against TAD. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Using a β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN)-induced...
