Does hMPL-004 ( Andrographis paniculata extract ) prevent development of murine colitis by inhibiting T-cell proliferation and TH1/TH17 responses?
HMPL-004 inhibits the development of chronic colitis by affecting early T-cell proliferation, differentiation, and TH(1)/TH(17) responses in a T-cell-driven model of colitis, presenting a unique mechanism of action. Our data suggest that HMPL-004 could be an attractive herbal therapeutic for inflammatory bowel disease.
Overall survival is similar for hypoplastic left heart syndrome patients referred for the NW or HT. Lower birth weight and higher complexity are risk factors for patients undergoing NW. Off-pump palliation followed by HT or further staged palliation should be considered for these high-risk hypoplastic left heart syndrome patients.
