Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a common intoxication and many people die yearly due to CO poisoning and preconditioning agents attenuate brain and cardiac injury caused by intoxication. It is critical to fully understand the efficacy of new methods to directly target the toxic effect of CO, such as conditioning agents, which are currently under development. This study aims to systematically investigate current evidence from animal experiments and the effects of administration preconditions in acute and late phases after CO poisoning on cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity. METHODS Four databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) were systematically searched without language restrictions, and hand searching was conducted until November 2021. We included studies that compare preconditioning agents with the control group after CO poisoning in animals. The SYRCLE RoB tool was used for risk of bias assessments. RESULTS Thirty-seven studies were included in the study. Erythropoietin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF), hydrogen-rich saline, and N-butylphthalide (NBP) were found to have positive effects on reducing neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. As other preconditions have fewer studies, no valuable results can be deduced. Most of the studies were unclear for sources of bias. DISCUSSION Administration of the examined preconditioning agents including NBP, hydrogen-rich saline, and GCSF in acute and late phases could attenuate neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity of CO poisoned animals. For a better understanding of mechanisms and activities, and finding new and effective preconditioning agents, further preclinical and clinical studies should be performed to analyze the effects of preconditioning agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor existing in neutrophils, glial cells and neurons. Increasing researches discovered that G-CSF improved cell survival in neurodegenerative diseases by its anti-inflammatory effect. However, the effect of G-CSF in suppressing inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explored the anti-inflammatory effect of G-CSF in mouse model of PD. MATERIALS AND METHODS G-CSF was administrated in the PD model induced by MPTP. Subsequently, the protein of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) and the inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the midbrain were examined. In addition, the phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) including c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 MAPK in the midbrain were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the MPTP group, the protein of TH in the midbrain was increased, while the Iba-1 and the inflammatory factors were decreased. In addition, the expression of phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK) in the midbrain of the MPTP + G-CSF group was decreased, while the phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) levels were elevated. CONCLUSIONS These findings emphasize that G-CSF inhibited the degradation of DA neurons. The protective effect is associated with the reduction of the inflammatory factors caused by the inhibition of the microglial activation. Moreover, G-CSF may decrease the inflammatory factors through the decrease of P-JNK and the increase of P-ERK.

Abstract
Although neuroprotective effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) have been shown in rats exposed to carbon monoxide (CO), this pilot clinical trial was performed to assess the feasibility of treatment with G-CSF in patients with acute CO poisoning. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial was conducted on twenty-six patients with acute CO poisoning. G-CSF (90 μg/kg) was administered intravenously for 72 h. Demographic data, routine laboratory tests, differential blood counts, venous blood gas, and adverse reactions were recorded. The primary endpoint was brain ischemia improvement based on CT findings and the secondary endpoints examined improvements in the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Barthel Index as well as S-100β concentrations. Fourteen patients received G-CSF, and 12 received a placebo. Twenty-six were followed for 30 days and no one in both groups died during follow-up. Neurological complications, brain ischemic changes, Barthel, and mRS were compared between the two groups on determined days after the onset of therapeutic intervention, and no significant differences were observed between the two groups. Favorable results were achieved for treated patients by different measures; NIHSS was decreased 72 h after treatment (p = 0.046), and S-100β levels were significantly higher in the G-CSF group than in the control group, 12 h and 72 h after the treatment. G-CSF appears to have potential effects on several clinical parameters in patients with acute CO poisoning. The trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials with the ID: (IRCT201607232083N7).

Abstract
Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (CO-poisoning) causes neurotoxicity by inducing necrosis, apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative stress. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) is a synthetic compound originally extracted from the seeds of Chinese celery and based on pure l-3-n-butylphthalide. In ischemia/reperfusion, it exerts neuroprotective effects through its anti-apoptotic, anti-necrotic and antioxidant properties, and activation of pro-survival pathways. Our study performed bioinformatic analysis to identify the differential expression genes. CO-poisoning patients' blood was collected to confirm the findings. Male rats were exposed to CO 3000 ppm for 40 min, and NBP (100 mg/kg/day) was continuously injected intraperitoneally immediately after poisoning and for the next 15 days. After NBP treatment, the rats were evaluated by Morris water maze test. At the end of experiments, blood and brain tissues of the rats were collected to evaluate the expression levels of IL-2, AKT and BCL-2. We found that IL-2 was elevated in CO-poisoning patients and animal models. Brain tissue damage in CO-poisoning rats was significantly alleviated after NBP treatment. Furthermore, NBP increased the expression of IL-2, AKT and BCL-2 in rat CO-poisoning model. NBP showed neuroprotective action by increasing IL-2, AKT, and BCL-2 expressions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO), which is well known as silent killer, has many toxic effects on organs with high rate of metabolism such as heart and brain. CO-induced cardiotoxicity resulted in a wide range of disabilities including electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, elevation in level of cardiac enzymes, arrhythmias, impairment of left ventricular and myocardial infarction (MI). Cardio-protective effects of Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on infarcted heart was proved previously in various reports. OBJECTIVE In this study, possible effect of G-CSF on cardiac function of patients with moderate to severe acute CO poisoning was investigated. METHODS Cardioprotective effects of G-CSF in CO-poisoned patients was evaluated through ECG, Holter monitoring, echocardiography, and biochemical studies. Continuous intravenous infusion of G-CSF (90 μg/kg) and normal saline were administered respectively to treatment and placebo groups. RESULTS The results demonstrated that in moderate to severe CO poisoning, myocardial injury is common. ECG changes (e.g., ST-segment and T-wave changes, QTC), cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., heart blocks and ventricular arrhythmias), serum level of Troponin I, left ventricular ejection fraction were determined after G-CSF administration. Frequencies of ST depression, inversion or flatting of T wave and QTC in ECG were significantly reduced after G-CSF treatment. In addition, incidence of cardiac arrhythmias due to CO poisoning were reduced after G-CSF treatment. However, G-CSF did not exert protective effects on TPI level and function of left ventricular in CO-poisoned patients. CONCLUSION GCSF could probably reduce CO-induced cardiac ischemia in patients with acute CO poisoning. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial protocol was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (http://www.irct.ir) registry (Irct ID: IRCT201607232083N7).

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Hypertension is the most important cause of such conditions. The use of medicinal herbs is of particular importance due to their lower cost and side effects. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of hesperidin (HES) and crocin (CRO) alone and in combination, on blood pressure in a rat model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hypertension, using invasive carotid artery measurements. Animals were randomly assigned to the following groups: control group (received standard chow diet), HFD control group (received HFD containing 32% kcal of fat and 0.1% cholesterol), and three groups of HFD-treated animals that were treated with a single dose of CRO (20 mg/kg), HES (20 mg/kg), or CRO + HES (20 + 20 mg/kg). Except for the control group, rats received HFD for 7 weeks. On day 50, CRO, HES and normal saline were administered intraperitoneally and carotid arteries of the rats were cannulated. Three hours after the carotid artery cannulation, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), and heart rate (HR) were measured using an intra-arterial catheter with the use of a Power Lab system. Data was analyzed using SPSS software. Rats that received HFD for 49 days presented a significant increase in SBP, HR and MAP compared to the control group (P<0.001). Whereas, HFD-treated rats of the CRO + HES group showed lower levels of SBP, HR and MAP; however, DBP remained unaffected. HES administration in HFD treated rats resulted in a significant decrease in SBP compared to the HFD control group with no significant differences in MAP. The hypotensive effects of the simultaneous administration of CRO and HES in HFD-hypertensive rats suggest the need for further study of these two natural products as a potential preventive measure against hypertension development, especially in patients with high normal blood pressure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a disorder in which the heart is unable to supply enough blood for body tissues. Since heart is an adaptable organ, it overcomes this condition by going under remodeling process. Considering cardiac myocytes are capable of proliferation after MI, stimulation of neovascularization as well as their regeneration might serve as a novel target in cardiac remodeling prevention and CHF treatment. Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), is a hematopoietic cytokine that promotes proliferation and differentiation of neutrophils and is involved in cardiac repair after MI. So far, this is the first review to focus on GCSF as a novel treatment for heart failure. METHODS We conducted a search of some databases such as PubMed for articles and reviews published between 2003 and 2017, with different keywords including "G-CSF", "congestive heart failure", "new therapies for CHF", "filgrastim", "in vivo study". RESULTS GCSF exerts its beneficial effects on cardiac repair through either stem cell mobilization or direct angiogenesis promotion. All of which are capable of promoting cardiac cell repair. CONCLUSION GCSF is a promising target in CHF-therapy by means of cardiac repair and remodeling prevention through multiple mechanisms, which are effective enough to be used in clinical practice.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has been shown to induce several cardiovascular abnormalities, as well as necrosis, apoptosis and oxidative stress in the brain. Magnesium sulfate (MS) has been shown to have beneficial activities against hypoxia in the brain. In the present study, the possible protective effects of MS against CO‑induced cerebral ischemia were investigated. For this purpose, 25 male Wistar rats were exposed to 3,000 ppm CO for 1 h. The animals were divided into 5 groups (n=5 in each group) as follows: The negative control group (not exposed to CO), the positive control group (CO exposed and treated with normal saline), and 3 groups of CO‑exposed rats treated with MS (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg/day) administered intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days. On the 5th day, the animals were sacrificed and the brains were harvested for the evaluation of necrosis, apoptosis and oxidative stress. Histopathological evaluation revealed that MS reduced the number and intensity of necrotic insults. The Bax/Bcl2 ratio and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly decreased in a dose‑dependent manner in the MS‑treated rats compared to the positive control group, while a significant dose‑dependent increase in Akt expression, a pro‑survival protein, was observed. In addition, MS administration reduced pro‑apoptotic indice levels, ameliorated histological insults, favorably modulated oxidative status and increased Akt expression levels, indicating a possible neuroprotective effect in the case of CO poisoning. On the whole, the findings of this study indicate that MS may prove to be useful in protecting against CO‑induced cerebral injury.

Abstract
Sarcodon imbricatus, a rare medicinal and edible fungus, has various pharmacological bioactivities. We investigated the effects of S. imbricatus polysaccharides (SIPS) on hematopoietic function and identified the underlying mechanisms using in vitro experiments with CHRF, K562, and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) and in vivo experiments with a mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic dysfunction. We found that SIPS induced proliferation and differentiation of CHRF and K562 cells and upregulated the expression of hematopoietic-related proteins, including p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK1p90), c-Myc, and ETS transcription factor, in the two cell lines. After 28 days of treatment, SIPS enhanced the bodyweight and thymus indices of the mice, alleviated enlargement of the spleen and liver, and contributed to the recovery of peripheral blood to normal levels. More importantly, the percentages of B lymphocytes and hematopoietic stem cells or hematopoietic progenitor cells were significantly elevated in bone marrow. Based on an antibody chip analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, SIPS were found to successfully regulate 12 cytokines to healthy levels in serum and spleen. The cytokines included the following: interleukins 1Ra, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, tumor necrosis factor α, interferon−γ, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), C-C motif chemokine1, and monocyte chemoattractant protein−1. Moreover, SIPS upregulated the phosphorylation levels of janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the spleen, and similar results were validated in CHRF cells, K562 cells, and BMMNCs. The data indicate that SIPS activated the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, possibly by interactions among multiple cytokines, particularly G-CSF. We found that SIPS was remarkably beneficial to the bone marrow hematopoietic system, and we anticipate that it could improve myelosuppression induced by long-term radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO), a toxic gas produced via incomplete fossil fuel combustion, has several poisonous effects in the heart including induction of necrosis, apoptosis, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. Magnesium sulfate (MS) is a drug with cardioprotective effects especially when used after ischemia/reperfusion. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate MS cardioprotective effects following CO poisoning. Animals were exposed to CO 3000 ppm for 1 h and immediately after the exposure period and on the next 4 days (a total of 5 consecutive doses given on a daily basis), MS (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) and ECG was recorded focusing on ST-segment, T-wave, and Q-pathologic wave changes. On day 5, animals were sacrificed and their heart was excised for determination of BAX, BCL2 and Akt expression level using western blot analysis and necrosis investigations. The results showed that MS significantly decreased necrosis and BAX/BCL2 ratio (P < 0.001) while pro-survival protein Akt was significantly increased (P < 0.001). Moreover, CO-induced ST-segment depression, T-wave inversion, and atrioventricular block (AV-block) were decreased following treatment with MS. In conclusion, our results showed that MS could decrease cardiac deleterious effects of CO poisoning including necrosis and apoptosis while increased the expression of Akt, as a cell survival protein.

Abstract
Acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes neurotoxicity through induction of necrosis, apoptosis, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. Resveratrol (RES) is a natural polyphenolic phytoalexin that exhibits neuroprotective effects in ischemia/reperfusion due to its anti-apoptotic, anti-necrotic and strong anti-oxidant properties as well as its ability to activate pro-survival pathways. In this study, rats were exposed to CO 3000 ppm for 1 h. Immediately after poisoning and on the next four consecutive days, RES (1, 5 and 10 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally. On the fifth day, animals' brains were excised, and necrosis, lipid peroxidation level and the level of Akt, BAX and BCL2 expression were evaluated. The results showed that RES 10 mg/kg significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, but RES 1 and 5 mg/kg had no significant effect on this parameter. Furthermore, RES 5 and 10 mg/kg significantly increased Akt expression level, while BAX/BCL2 ratio was reduced by RES 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg. Moreover, RES reduced necrotic foci in the brain, but the best results were seen following treatment with RES 10 mg/kg. In summary, RES showed neuroprotective effect in CO-poisoned rats as it decreased necrosis and BAX/BCL2 ratio and increased Akt expression levels. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
