Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries. Di'ao Xinxuekang (DAXXK) is a pure Chinese medicine herbal preparation refined from dioscin extracted from the roots of Dioscorea panthaica Prain et Burk and Diosorea nipponica Makino.
Objective: To evaluate the application of DAXXK in Cardiovascular disease.
Methods: We searched and summarized all the studies on DAXXK and Cardiovascular disease in Pubmed, Google, and CNKI.
Results: Modern pharmacological studies have shown that DAXXK has pharmacological effects such as dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and cardiac load, improving hemodynamics, lowering blood lipids and anti-platelet aggregation, and is widely used for the therapy of various kinds of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease (CHD), angina pectoris (AP) and myocardial infarction. We provide an overview of the clinical efficacy, molecular mechanisms, safety and therapeutic potential of DAXXK in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, aiming to provide clues and evidence for clinical decision-making.
Conclusion: DAXXK exerts cardiovascular protection by regulating a variety of cardiovascular disease- related signaling pathways.
Keywords: Angina pectoris, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, Di'ao Xinxuekang, coronary artery disease

Common Mechanisms Underpinning Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Psychiatric Diseases
A growing number of large-scale epidemiologic studies have strongly suggested that common mechanisms may be shared by aberrant brain development and psychiatric disorders. There is now an appreciation of the synergic roles of genetic variants and environmental stress, which profoundly affect genome integrity and reshape brain development. This can lead ...read more
New Cell Death Regulation Drugs for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with aberrant cell death processes playing a crucial role in their pathogenesis. Cell death in these diseases encompasses not only well-studied forms of apoptosis but also includes a variety of complex modes such as mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, entotic cell ...read more
