Triptolide, an active ingredient of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, promotes the repair of injured spinal cord by inhibiting astrogliosis and inflammation [19], whereas the root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae), also known as ginseng, inhibits interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and caspase-3 and B cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2-associated X protein (Bax) expression and stimulates IL-10, thereby suppressing inflammation and apoptotic cell death after traumatic brain injury [11]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is brain injury.
