To Investigate the Clinical Efficacy and Potential Mechanism of Tongxinluo Capsules in Preventing Coronary Restenosis Based on Meta-Analysis and Network Pharmacology Analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Tongxinluo capsules in preventing coronary restenosis based on meta-analysis and network pharmacology research methods and to preliminarily explore its intervention mechanism. Methods: First, through meta-analysis, we comprehensively searched databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to find out the randomized controlled trials of Tongxinluo capsules in the treatment of coronary restenosis until February, 2022. According to the Cochrane Library, risk bias assessment tools were used to evaluate the included literature and Review Manager 5.2 software was used to conduct statistical analysis of the included studies. Then, based on network pharmacology, through TCMSP database and BATMAN-TCM database screening, the chemical components of Tongxinluo capsules and their related effects, symptom, and common targets were analyzed. String net was used to construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and R3.6.1 software was used to carry out GO biological process enrichment analysis and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis to clarify key pathways. Results: The meta-analysis finally included 10 RCTs with a total of 1318 subjects. Meta-analysis results showed that Tongxinluo capsules combined with conventional cardiovascular drugs could significantly improve the clinical efficacy of preventing in-stent restenosis and the clinical efficacy of preventing angina pectoris. There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy of preventing myocardial infarction. Network pharmacology obtained a total of 101 chemical components and 149 targets through the online database. The results of network analysis showed that the targets were mainly involved in receptor ligand activity, carboxylic acid binding, steroid hormone receptor activity, and other related action pathways and were also involved in AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, cell senescence signaling pathway, and other related pathways. Conclusion: Tongxinluo capsules combined with conventional cardiovascular drugs can improve the clinical efficacy of preventing in-stent restenosis and angina pectoris and have a significant effect on reducing inflammatory factors. The comprehensive result of the effect is mainly through the participation of receptor ligand activity, carboxylic acid binding, steroid hormone receptor activity, and other ways to achieve the purpose of treating coronary restenosis.

[Determination of 6 kinds of pesticides residue in Dioscoreae rhizoma slices by GC-MS].

OBJECTIVE: To determine the 6 residues including organophosphorus, organochlorinated and pyrethroid pesticides simultaneously in crude yam slices, yam slices stir-fried with bran and sulfur fumigation yam. METHODS: The compounds were ready for GC-MS analysis after being extracted with acetonitrile and purified. Determinations were performed with selected ion monitoring mode and external standard method was adopted in the quantificaticon. RESULTS: The contents of 6 kinds pesticides residue had good linear correlation with the peak area in the rang of 0.01-0.5 microg/mL. The average recoveries of 6 kinds pesticides residue were 87.5%-95.5%. The method detection limits ranged from 0.002-0.005 microg/g. Organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides were detected in the three samples except the parathion residue. CONCLUSION: Stir-fried with bran and sulphur fumigation had nearly no effects on the pesticides residue in yam. The method is sensitive and accurate and can be used in determination of multiresidual pesticides residue in yam.

[Analysis of volatile oil in Fructus Aurantii processed with Zhangband method by GC-MS].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical components of the volatile oil in processed pieces of Fructus Aurantii (PPFA) with JiangXi Zhangband methods by GC-MS. METHODS: The volatile oil was obtained from PPFA by steam distillation. The amount of the components from the volatile oil were determinated by area normalization method. The separated components were identified by GC-MS. RESULTS: Composed of the total volatile oil over 90% , 70 components were separated and identified. All of the processed Fructus Aurantii produced new chemical composition, in the meantime,the contents were changed in some chemical composition after processed. CONCLUSION: The method is reliable, stable and has good repeatability. This method can be applied to the analysis of volatile oil components in PPFA. It will provide the certain scientific methods for further evaluating of PPFA quality.

[HPLC determination of strychnine and brucine in Semen Strychni and its processed products].

OBJECTIVE: This paper reports a HPLC method for determinition of strychnine and brucine in Semen Strychni and its processed products of Jiangxi method and innovated methed. METHOD: SiO2 was used as the stationary phase, n-hexane-dichloromethane-methanol-ammonia(47.5:47.5:5:0.35) as the mobile phase, with detection wavelength of 254 nm. RESULT: The contents of strychnine and brucine in the processed products of Jiangxi are lower. CONCLUSION: This method is accurate, simple and reliable.
