Penehyclidine hydrochloride protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by promoting the PI3K/Akt pathway.
Article in International journal of immunopathology and pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAcute lung injury (ALI) attracted attention among physicians because of its high mortality. We aimed to determine whether the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway is involved in the protective effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI.
methodsH&E staining was used to observed pathological changes in the lung tissues. ELISA was used to evaluate the concentration of inflammatory mediators in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). White-light microscopy was performed to observe the TUNEL-positive nuclei. The viability of NR8383 alveolar macrophages was determined by using CCK-8. The levels of MPO, MDA, SOD, and GSH-Px were analyzed using ELISA kits. Western blotting was used to evaluate the ERS-associated protein levels and the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt.
resultsPHC administration defended against LPS-induced histopathological deterioration and increased pulmonary edema and lung injury scores, while all of these beneficial effects were inhibited by LY. In addition, PHC administration mitigated oxidative stress as indicated by decreases in lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, and increases in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations. It also alleviated LPS-induced inflammation. PHC administration attenuated apoptosis-associated protein levels, improved cell viability, and decreased the number of TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells. Furthermore, PHC inhibited ERS-associated protein levels. Meanwhile, the protection of PHC against inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ERS was inhibited by LY. Moreover, PHC administration increased PI3K and Akt phosphorylation, indicating that the upregulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, while this pathway was inhibited by LY.
conclusionPHC significantly activates the PI3K/Akt pathway to ameliorate the extent of damage to pulmonary tissue, inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ERS in LPS-induced ALI.
