Abstract

Ligustrazine (Lig) is one of the main effective components of Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort, which possesses a variety of biological activities in the cardiovascular system. Here, we conducted a preclinical systematic review to investigate the efficacy of Lig for animal models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and its possible mechanisms. Twenty-five studies involving 556 animals were identified by searching 6 databases from inception to August 2017. The methodological quality was assessed by using Collaborative Approach to Meta-Analysis and Review of Animal Data from Experimental Studies (CAMARADES) 10-item checklist. All the data were analyzed using Rev-Man 5.3 software. As a result, the score of study quality ranged from 2 to 6 points. Meta-analyses showed Lig can significantly decrease the myocardial infarct size, cardiac enzymes and troponin compared with control (P < 0.01). The possible mechanisms of Lig for myocardial infarction are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis activities and improving coronary blood flow and myocardial metabolism. In conclusion, the findings indicated that Lig exerts cardio protection through multiple signaling pathways in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2020.
All research outputs
#6,896,320
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#2,844
of 16,458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,473
of 330,304 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#66
of 398 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,458 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,304 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 398 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
