We first performed primary cultured cardiomyocytes, which were infected with CVB₃in vitro. We observed cell viability, the beating of cardiomyocytes and cytopathic effects.

Furthermore, we detected CK-MB levels and myocardial cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. In order to further explore the possible mechanisms, the protein expression of calpain-2 (by immunohistochemistry and Western blot) and caspase-12 activity (by fluorescence assay for substrate cleavage) were detected in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicated that, in comparison to the normal control group, the virus-infected group exhibited increased injured myocardial cells, virus titer, CK-MB levels, and apoptotic cells (P<0.05). Matrine treatment groups significantly reduced CK-MB levels, myocardial cellular damages and apoptosis in vitro and in vivo, with Matrine notably suppressing calpain-2 protein expression and Caspase-12 activity compared to the virus-infected group (P<0.05). In conclusion, our study revealed that calpain-2 and caspase-12 played roles in CVB₃-induced myocardial cell apoptosis.

This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profile and evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of C. viminalis leaves cultivated in Iraq. Leaves were collected, dried, and extracted sequentially with hexane and 70% ethanol. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of saponins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and flavonoids. The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was assessed using the agar well diffusion method against three Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sp.), two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp.), and one fungal strain (Candida albicans). The ethanol extract exhibited notable inhibitory effects, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria and C. albicans, with activity increasing in a concentration-dependent manner. GC-MS analysis of the hexane extract identified key bioactive compounds, including beta-sitosterol and vitamin E. These findings highlight the significant pharmacological potential of C. viminalis leaves and support their traditional use as a source of natural antimicrobial agents.
