Ginkgo proan-thocyanidins （20, 40, 80 mg/kg） were intraperitoneally administered 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours before reperfusion. Results showed that ginkgo proanthocyanidins could effectively mitigate neurological disorders, shorten infarct volume, increase superoxide dismutase activity, and de-crease malondialdehyde and nitric oxide contents. Simultaneously, the study on grape seed proanthocyanidins （40 mg/kg） confirmed that different sources of proanthocyanidins have a similar effect. The neurological outcomes of ginkgo proanthocyanidins were similar to that of nimodipine in the treatmen＇t of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. （Sur results suggestthat-ginkgo proanthocyanidins can effectively lessen cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and protect ischemic brain tissue and these effects are associated with antioxidant properties.展开更多

It can be expressed on the cell surface of many solid tumors （Brahmer et al., 2012） and inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production by bind- ing to the Tcell surface receptor programmed death 1 （PD-1） or B7-1 （McClanahan et al., 2015）. In 2013, targeting PD-1/ PD-L1 signaling for cancer immunotherapy was selected as the No.1 scientific breakthrough of the year by the editors of Science. Interferons （IFNs） are a group of pleiotropic cytokines, demonstrated anti-viral, anti-tumor, and immune regulatory functions （York et al., 2015）. Type I interferon binds a heterodimeric receptor composed of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. This activates a canonical JAK/STAT signaling pathway that ultimately induces a set of interferon-stimulated genes to exert its biological activity （Ejlerskov et al., 2015）. Recently, PD-L1 was reported to be downstream of IFN signaling in human oral squamous carcinoma, melanoma, and human acute myeloid leukemia blast cells （Chen et al., 2012; Furuta et al., 2014; Kronig et al., 2014）.展开更多
