    Abstract BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a fatal type of stroke, profoundly affects public health. Yi-Qi-Huo-Xue decoction (YQHXD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, is verified to be an efficient method to treat ICH stroke among the Chinese population. Nevertheless, the pharmacological mechanisms of YQHXD have been unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used a strategy based on network pharmacology to explore the possible multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway pattern of YQHXD in treating ICH. First, candidate targets for YQHXD were identified using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). Then, these candidate YQHXD targets were used in combination with the known targets for the treatment of ICH stroke to construct the core network (cPPI) using data on protein-protein interaction (PPI). We calculated 5 topological parameters for identification of the main hubs. Pathway enrichment and GO biological process enrichment analyses were performed after the incorporation of the main hubs into ClueGO. RESULTS In total, 55 candidate YQHXD targets for ICH were recognized to be the major hubs in accordance with their topological importance. As suggested by enrichment analysis, the YQHXD targets for ICH were roughly classified into several biological processes (related to redox equilibrium, cell-cell communication, adhesion and collagen biosynthesis, cytokine generation, lymphocyte differentiation and activation, neurocyte apoptosis and development, neuroendocrine system, and vascular development) and related pathways (VEGF, mTOR, NF-kappaB, RAS/MAPK, JAK/STAT and cytokine-cytokine receptors interaction), indicating those mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of YQHXD. CONCLUSIONS The present results may serve as a pharmacological framework for TCM studies in the future, helping to promote the use of YQHXD in clinical treatment of ICH.

    Abstract Background: Pain is a common symptom in cancer patients. Acupuncture is a suggested treatment for a wide range of clinical conditions, usually for its beneficial effects on pain control. Si guan xue (the four points) have been widely used in clinical practice, and has shown that it is highly effective, effective in obtaining qi, shows strong acupuncture stimulation, and is simple to manipulate and safe to use. Therefore, the aim of this study is to test the protocol and safety of acupuncture at the si guan xue in the management of cancer pain.
    Methods: This is a single-blind, randomized controlled pilot trial. 42 patients with moderate to severe cancer pain were randomly assigned to three different arms with seven sessions of treatment; that is, treatment arm 1 (the si guan xue arm, n = 14), treatment arm 2 (the si guan xue plus commonly used acupoints arm, n = 14) and the control arm (the commonly used acupoints arm n = 14). Primary outcomes included acupuncture relieving cancer pain, and patients' subjective improvement as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). Secondary outcomes included the scores of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and Karnofsky's Performance Status (KPS).
    Results: The analysis showed that the cancer pain reduction in treatment arm 2 was most prominent on day 5 when compared with the control arm (P<0.05). There was no difference in the scores of PGIC, EORTC QLQ-C30 or KPS among the three groups (P>0.05). Furthermore, no serious adverse events were observed.
    Conclusions: These results indicate that acupuncture at the si guan xue plus commonly used acupoints tends to be effective in reducing cancer pain. However, the sample size was small, and a future multi-centre study with a larger sample size is warranted.
    Trial registration: ChiCTR-IOR-15007471 (Retroactively registered on 28 NOV 2015).

    Abstract Background: Retinal ischemia-related eye diseases result in visual dysfunction. This study investigates the protective effects and mechanisms of Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu decoction (XFZYD) with respect to retinal ischemia.
    Methods: Retinal ischemia (I) was induced in Wistar rats by a high intraocular pressure (HIOP) of 120 mmHg for 1 h, which was followed by reperfusion of the ischemic eye; the fellow untreated eye acted as a control. Electroretinogram (ERG), biochemistry and histopathology investigations were performed.
    Results: Significant ischemic changes occurred after ischemia including decreased ERG b-wave ratios, less numerous retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), reduced inner retinal thickness, fewer choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) labeled amacrine cell bodies, increased glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity and increased vimentin Müller immunolabeling. These were accompanied by significant increases in the mRNA/protein concentrations of vascular endothelium growth factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, pyruvate kinase M2 and retinoblastoma-binding protein 2. The ischemic changes were concentration-dependently and significantly altered when XFZYD was given for seven consecutive days before or after retina ischemia, compared to vehicle. These alterations included enhanced ERG b-wave amplitudes, more numerous RGCs, enhanced inner retinal thickness, a greater number of ChAT immunolabeled amacrine cell bodies and decreased GFAP/vimentin immunoreactivity. Furthermore, decreased mRNA levels of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2 were also found. Reduced protein concentrations of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2 were also demonstrated. Furthermore, there was an inhibition of the ischemia-associated increased ratios (target protein/β-actin) in the protein levels of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2, which were induced by Shikonin, JIB-04 or Avastin.
    Conclusion: XFZYD would seem to protect against well-known retinal ischemic changes via a synergistic inhibition of RBP2 and PKM2, as well as down-regulation of HIF-1α and a reduction in VEGF secretion.

    Abstract This study compared Sheng Xue Ning (SXN) tablets with ferrous succinate (FS) tablets in terms of their efficacy for the treatment of iron-deficient renal anemia and safety in patients subject to maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). A total of 94 patients undergoing MHD were randomly assigned to an experiment group (receiving oral SXN tablets, SXN group) and a control group (orally given FS tablets, FS group) and followed up for 12 weeks. Erythropoietin (EPO) was used in both groups. The efficacy was assessed by detecting the subsequent changes in hemoglobin (Hb), serum iron (SI), SF and transferrin saturation (TSAT). At the 12th week, Hb and TSAT levels in both groups were significantly increased compared to those in the screening period (P<0.05). However, no significant difference in Hb and TSAT was found between the two groups. The average weekly EPO dosage used was lower in SXN group than in FS group (P<0.05) at the 10th week and the 12th week. Our study showed that SXN tablets can effectively ameliorate renal anemia and keep iron metabolism stable in MHD patients, and its efficacy is virtually close to that of FS tablets. Meanwhile, SXN tablets can reduce the dosage of EPO and have a good safety profile.

    Abstract Objective. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic autoimmune vasculitis. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first-line treatment for KD. It is unclear whether traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has an effect on KD. We aimed to observe the clinical efficacy of TCM on acute KD via serum interleukin-33 (IL-33) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) measurements. Methods. Thirty-one KD patients were treated with Qing Re Liang Xue decoction and Western medicine (integrative medicine treatment group), while 28 KD patients were treated with Western medicine only (Western medicine treatment group). Thirty patients were included in a febrile group and 28 healthy children were included in the control group. Clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were gathered and compared. Serum IL-33 and TNF-α levels were measured by multiplex Luminex assay. Results. The platelet count in the integrative medicine treatment group was significantly lower than that in the Western medicine treatment group. The integrative medicine group had a shorter fever duration and lower IL-33 and TNF-α levels than those in the Western medicine group, but there were no significant differences between the two KD groups after treatment. Conclusion. Qing Re Liang Xue decoction improved the hypercoagulable state of KD patients. Potential myocardial protective effects require further research.
