As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb for pacifying the liver and extinguishing wind, Gastrodiae Rhizoma contains main active ingredients such as gastrodin, gastrodia polysaccharides and gastrodigenin. It exerts the effects of extinguishing wind and relieving convulsions, calming liver yang, dispelling wind and unblocking collaterals, which is highly consistent with the traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis of hypertension. This paper systematically reviews the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of active ingredients of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, herb pair compatibility, and classic prescriptions in hypertension. It is found that Gastrodiae Rhizoma and its active ingredients can collaboratively exert antihypertensive effects by regulating hemodynamics, oxidative stress, inflammatory response and other pathways, alleviate hypertensive vascular injury, and ameliorate damage to target organs including the heart, brain and kidney induced by hypertension. Compatibility of Gastrodiae Rhizoma with medicinal materials such as Uncaria, Chuanxiong, and Danshen produces remarkable synergistic efficacy against hypertension. Classic prescriptions containing Gastrodiae Rhizoma represented by Tianma gouteng decoction and Banxia baizhu tianma decoction can inhibit inflammation, resist oxidation, and protect vascular endothelium, so as to ameliorate hypertensive vascular injury and lower blood pressure.

Sepsis is one of the critical illnesses caused by burns, trauma, shock, infection, and so on. In patients with sepsis, vascular permeability is prone to develop through various pathophysiological mechanisms and thus could result in accumulation of tissue fluid, insufficient intravascular fluid, and finally cause septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Recent studies have shown that various factors and mediators involved in the regulation of vascular permeability in sepsis are expected to become targets for clinical treatment of sepsis. In this paper, we have reviewed the research advances on some molecules which are significantly associated with vascular permeability in sepsis, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin, sphingosine-1-phosphate, heparin-binding protein, and Slit2.
