@#To investigate the material basis and mechanism of Liupao tea on preventing COVID-19 by network pharmacology and molecular docking.The active ingredients and targets of Liupao tea were searched through the literature and the TCMSP databases and the network between the two was built by Cytoscape 3.7.1.Then using GenCards platform to predict the disease targets,mapping the common targets between Liupao tea and disease.The common targets were imported into the STRING database for exploring the protein-protein interaction.Core targets were enriched by gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and KEGG (kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) pathway enrichment analysis using DAVID database etc..Finally,the screened active components were docked with the receptor protein SARS-CoV-2 3CL hydrolase (Mpro).Six active ingredients of Liupao tea were screened,such as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),(+)-catechin,(-)-catechin gallate,α-spinasterol,pelargonidin chloride and squalene,and 156 targets were identified.Among them,there were 112 common targets and 38 core targets with COVID-19.GO enrichment analysis (P<0.01) involved lipopolysaccharide,cell response to hypoxia,etc..And the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis (P<0.01)was conducted to obtain the HIF-1,IL-17,T cell receptor and other signaling pathways associated with COVID-19.The results of molecular docking showed that the active ingredients of Liupao tea were well bound to the receptor protein Mpro.The active ingredients of Liupao tea may control HIF-1,IL-17,T cell receptors signaling pathways by binding Mpro hydrolase and acting on inflammation and immune related targets such as MAPK1,TNF to prevent COVID-19.The EGCG of Mpro activity was determined ,and the IC50 was 3.4 μmol/L,which confirmed that EGCG was a certain inhibition effect on Mpro.
Résumé
The insufficient reporting of adverse reactions of Chinese proprietary medicines is common. In addition, there is a lack of safety information in the specifications of Chinese proprietary medicines, which led to less evidence for clinical safety of Chinese proprietary medicines in clinical practice. It is urgent to carry out post-marketing clinical safety re-evaluation of Chinese proprietary medicine. Developing a clinical safety evaluation data set for Chinese proprietary medicine may reduce the insufficient reporting of safety information and the inconsistency of data reporting in similar studies, as well as include more studies in systematic reviews, so that they can provide higher-level evidence for clinical safety of Chinese proprietary medicine. This paper proposes a method for developing core data set of clinical safety evaluation of Chinese proprietary medicine: firstly, the application scope of core data set for clinical safety evaluation was determined according to the characteristics of diseases, population, research objectives, administration methods, evaluation methods, etc. Systematic reviews and semi-structured interviews should be conducted to develop the list of original items for clinical safety evaluation. Based on the list, Delphi surveys can be developed in different stakeholders. Then the final core data set can be developed via consensus meetings.
Résumé
Objective: To conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Keli (WXKL) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) . Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web ofScience, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and SinoMed) were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inceptions to 1 October, 2018. Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality andanalyzed data by Cochrane handbook and the Rev Man 5.3 software. Begg.s test was conducted to assess publication biasvia Stata 14 software. Results: Twenty-four RCTs with 2246 patients were included in this review. Compared with blankcontrol, placebo or western medicine alone, WXKL alone or combined with western medicine could effectively reducerapid ventricular rate (MD=-7.14, 95%CI:-8.42——5.87), the frequency and duration of AF. It could also shorten thesinus rhythm conversion time (MD=-3.04, 95%CI:-3.47——2.61), increase the sinus rhythm conversion rate (RR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09~1.29) and decrease recurrence rate of AF (RR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.13-0.59) . Besides, WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine was beneficial for improving the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (MD=3.44, 95% CI: 0.87-6.01), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (MD=-2.47, 95% CI:-2.86——2.08), left atrialdiameter (LAd) (MD=-0.91, 95%CI:-1.58——0.25) and P wave dispersion (Pd) (MD=-4.04, 95%CI:-4.15——3.93) .WXKL combined with low-dose amiodarone was superior to conventional-dose amiodarone alone in improving themaximum P wave (Pmax) (MD=-8.25, 95% CI:-10.33——6.17), and WXKL combined with conventional-doseamiodarone is more effective (MD=-13.10, 95%CI:-13.65——12.55) . Compared with the control group, the treatmentgroup had fewer adverse reactions, and the Begg.s test did not find any publication bias. Conclusion: WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine exhibited better therapeutic effects in the treatment of AF, but these results still needhigh-quality evidence to verify.
Résumé
Objective: This paper analyzed the present clinical researches of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of heart failure caused by coronary heart disease and discusses the ideas and methods of evidence-based optimization. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, VIP and CBM were searched to screen the clinical studies of TCM for treating heart failure caused by coronary heart disease. The problems and solutions were discussed by evaluating the risk of bias of the studies and analyzing the outcomes compared with the Cochrane systematic reviews of chronic heart failure. Results: A total of 32 clinical researches were included and the methodological quality of the studies was generally low. In addition, few studies assessed the endpoint events, mortality and readmission, as the primary outcomes in their trials, which is significantly different from the outcomes concerned in the Cochrane systematic reviews. Conclusion: It is really critical to improve the methodological quality of the trials and to choose the endpoint events as the primary outcomes in the evidence-based optimization of the prevention and treatment of TCM for heart failure caused by coronary heart disease Chinese medicine.
Résumé
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Danhong injection on endothelial function after percutaneous coronaryintervention (PCI) in coronary heart disease (CHD) . It provides the basis for further research and design. Methods: Sevendatabases of CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase and others were searched bycomputer cents with coronary heart disease treated by Danhong injection combined with conventional drugs. Twoevaluators independently sifted the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the bias risk in the study. The data werestatistically analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 12 RCTs, involving 1325 patients were included. Metaanalysis showed that the treatment group (Danhong injection combined with routine therapy) was superior to the controlgroup in improving the endothelium index after operation. The index NO[MD=9.57, 95%CI (8.22, 10.93), P < 0.00001], vWF [MD=-31.60, 95%CI (-41.47, -21.72), P < 0.00001], ET-1 [MD=-2.19, 95%CI (-3.11, -1.27), P < 0.00001], ET[SMD=-0.92, 95%CI (-1.49, -0.35), P < 0.01], FMD[MD = 1.81, 95%CI (1.26, 2.37), P < 0.00001]. There was statisticalsignificance between each index. Conclusion: Danhong injection combined with conventional therapy can improveendothelial function after PCI. However, due to the low quality of included studies and the problem of heterogeneity, these conclusions need to be further verified by high quality multicenter, large sample and double blind randomizedcontrolled trials.
