Ju Chi Liu,Pai Keng Kao,Paul Chan,Yung Ho Hsu,Chun-Cheng Hou,Gi Shih Lien,Min Hsiung Hsieh,Yi Jen Chen,Juei-Tang Cheng +8 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that stevioside is an effective antihypertensive natural product, and its hypotensive mechanism may be probably due to inhibition of the Ca2+ influx.

Calcitriol modulates receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in diabetic hearts.
TL;DR: Calcitriol decreased diabetic effects on RAGE and fibrosis, which may be caused by its modulation on AT1R and the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative potentials.

Effect of catechin on the activity and gene expression of superoxide dismutase in cultured rat brain astrocytes
Paul Chan,Juei-Tang Cheng,Jen Chen Tsai,Gi Shih Lien,Fu Chean Chen,Pai Feng Kao,Ju Chi Liu,Yi Jen Chen,Min Hsing Hsieh +8 more
TL;DR: In the cultured rat brain astrocytes (RBA), catechin is an effective antioxidant to increase the activity of SOD in RBA which would be beneficial to neurons subjected to oxygen free radical damage.

Adjuvant sclerotherapy after ligation for the treatment of esophageal varices: A prospective, randomized long-term study
Yeong-Shan Cheng,Shiann Pan,Gi Shih Lien,Fat Moon Suk,Ming Shun Wu,Jun Nan Chen,Sheng-Hsuan Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Because a significantly lower rate of variceal recurrence was found for SLS patients, sequential sclerotherapy followed by ligation to eradicate those varices too small to easily band may be a better procedure.

Heart failure and angiotensin II modulate atrial Pitx2c promotor methylation
Yu Hsun Kao,Yao Chang Chen,Chen Chih Chung,Gi Shih Lien,Shih Ann Chen,Ching Chuan Kuo,Yi Jen Chen +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that HF induces Pitx2c promoter hypermethylation and AngII may contribute to the hyper methylation in HF.
