文摘Objective:Reveal the material basis and mechanism of angiogenesis effect of Danshen-chuanxiong herb-partners.Methods:The effective components of Danshen and chuanxiong were searched in the TCM System Pharmacology Database(TCMSP),and the drug targets were searched in the Swiss Target Prediction database;in the Disease-Gene Database(DisGeNET))Search for angiogenesis-promoting and inhibiting angiogenesis targets;use the protein interaction database(STRING)database and Cytoscape software to analyze the network core targets;use the DAVID database to enrich the drug-disease target intersection for GO and KEGG;RT-qPCR experiments verified the effect of luteolin on MMP9 gene expression;in vitro tube formation experiments analyzed the effect of luteolin on endothelial cell neovascularization.Results:After analysis,it is concluded that Danshen has 10 active ingredients and 50 angiogenesis targets;Chuanxiong has 2 active ingredients and 4 angiogenesis targets.The intersection of drug-taking targets yielded 9 targets,including AR,PARP1,MMP9,MMP2,MMP12,AKR1B10,ABCC1,CDK6,and STAT3.After analyzing the active ingredient-target network graph of Danshen/Chuanxiong,it was concluded that luteolin is the key chemical ingredient.After protein interaction(PPI)analysis,the results showed that MMP9 is the core target.The KEGG pathway is mainly enriched in 5 signaling pathways,the most important pathway is cancer-related pathways.There are 22 main biological processes of GO,which mainly involve collagen catabolism,protein extracellular matrix,metal endopeptidase activity,etc.The preliminary analysis of tubule formation experiment shows that luteolin inhibits angiogenesis and down-regulates the expression of MMP9 gene.Conclusion:Luteolin,the key chemical component of the Danshen-Ligusticum chuanxiong drug pair,inhibits angiogenesis by regulating the MMP9 target,and develops the reverse regulation of angiogenesis for the traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis on the basis of the known treatment of ischemic diseases.Provide a new perspective and theoretical basis for the use of Danshen and Chuanxiong medicine in clinical cancer patients.Reveal the material basis and mechanism of angiogenesis effect of Danshen-chuanxiong herb-partners.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of stone needle therapy based on blood stasis theory for different traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of patients with knee osteoarthritis in early and middle stage.Methods:Totally 36 patients with knee osteoarthritis were enrolled in the orthopaedic ward between March 2016 and December 2017,and diagnosed as qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,cold dampness and stasis syndrome,or phlegm and stasis syndrome according to TCM syndrome differentiation.After treatment,stone needle was used for ironing on the different meridian acupoints according to different syndrome.The efficacy of patients with the above three syndromes was respectively evaluated,and the visual analogue scale(VAS)score and western ontario and mcMaster universities arthritis Index(WOMAC)score of the three groups were calculated before treatment,2 weeks,and 4 weeks after treatment.Results:The effective rates of the three groups were 86.67%,81.82%,and 80.00%,respectively.After 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment,the VAS and WOMAC scores of the three groups decreased significantly compared to treatment before(P<0.05).Conclusion:Stone needle therapy for ironing on the acupoints around the knee joint has a good therapeutic effect on knee osteoarthritis of different syndrome types,which is worthy of further application.

文摘Multi-omics is a biological analysis approach in which the data sets are multiple"omics",such as genomics,transcriptomics,proteomics,metabolomics.Multiomics can be used in the detection,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of diseases as a kind of potential biomarker.Blood stasis syndrome(BSS)is a common syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Multi-omics can reflect the change of BSS as a whole.Thus,the purpose of this manuscript was to fully review the clinical multi-omics research and related problems of BSS.We found that the multi-omics of BSS reflected many pathophysiological processes through regulating vascular endothelial cells,vasodilation and contraction,oxidative stress,thrombosis,angiogenesis,platelet aggregation,lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,immune and coagulation function,energy balance,amino acid metabolism,and so forth.Many potential biomarkers of BSS were found in multi-omics and some promoting blood circulation Chinese medicines(PBCCMs)could well regulate the abnormal biomarkers and make them return to the normal level.
文摘Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the etiology and pathogenesis of renal fibrosis are characterized by deficiency of the lung,spleen and kidney,and phlegm,blood stasis,dampness and poison.The positive and the evil can influence each other and cause and effect each other,forming the pathological characteristics of the deficiency,the deficiency,the deficiency and the reality.Chinese medicine treatment of the disease has its unique advantages,external and internal injury equal emphasis,correction and dispelling evil and regulation.From the point of view of"deficiency of qi and coexistence of phlegm and blood stasis",the treatment of renal fibrosis can provide theoretical basis for the treatment of the disease.
