A review of the neuro- and systemic inflammatory responses in post concussion symptoms: Introduction of the “post-inflammatory brain syndrome” PIBS

“…Kao et al (2014) found that levels of SIRT1, a downregulator of the NF-jB pro-inflammatory pathway, were reduced in patients with chronic dizziness and that vestibular exercise therapy both increased SIRT1 expression and improved dizziness. In addition, several traditional medications for dizziness demonstrate antiinflammatory activity (Huang et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2012;Meng et al, 2009). In summary, there is some evidence to suggest a causal relationship between peripheral inflammation and dizziness, as it appears to be a potential consequence of administration of pro-inflammatory substances. In addition, there is associative evidence that some treatments of dizziness are also anti-inflammatory.…”

Protective effect of kobophenol A on nitric oxide-induced cell apoptosis in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells: Involvement of JNK, NF-κB and AP-1 pathways

“…These results suggest that kob A inhibits osteoblast cell death by increasing the production of the anti-apoptotic proteins, thereby preventing apoptosis. It has been known that stilbenoids from Caragana species have demonstrated anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo [33]. Some of oligostilbenes also showed strong anti-inflammatory effects in vivo.…”
