    Abstract The outbreak of new infectious pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 has posed a significant threat to public health, but specific medicines and vaccines are still being developed. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has thousands of years of experience in facing the epidemic disease, such as influenza and viral pneumonia. In this study, we revealed the efficacy and pharmacological mechanism of Ma Xing Shi Gan (MXSG) Decoction against COVID-19. First, we used liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) to analyze the chemical components in MXSG and identified a total of 97 components from MXSG. Then, the intervention pathway of MXSG based on these components was analyzed with network pharmacology, and it was found that the pathways related to the virus infection process were enriched in some of MXSG component targets. Simultaneously, through literature research, it was preliminarily determined that MXSG, which is an essential prescription for treating COVID-19, shared the feature of antiviral, improving clinical symptoms, regulating immune inflammation, and inhibiting lung injury. The regulatory mechanisms associated with its treatment of COVID-19 were proposed. That MXSG might directly inhibit the adsorption and replication of SARS-CoV-2 at the viral entry step. Besides, MXSG might play a critical role in inflammation and immune regulatory, that is, to prevent cytokine storm and relieve lung injury through toll-like receptors signaling pathway. Next, in this study, the regulatory effect of MXSG on inflammatory lung injury was validated through transcriptome results. In summary, MXSG is a relatively active and safe treatment for influenza and viral pneumonia, and its therapeutic effect may be attributed to its antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.

    Abstract Background: Property theory is a unique principle guiding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that classifies various TCMs into four natures (hot, warm, cool, and cold) to reflect their medical actions on the human body. Despite successful application for thousands of years, characterizing the nature of medical TCMs by modern physiological indicators remains a challenge.
    Purpose: In this study, we investigated the potential relationship between the nature of TCMs and their modulation of the gut microbiota.
    Study design: We selected twelve TCMs with hot, warm, cool, or cold natures that possess antidiarrheal effects. Their aqueous extracts were orally administered to C57BL/6 mice at a clinical dose for 4 weeks. The gut microbiota was measured by 16S rRNA-based metagenomics, and the correlation between microbial composition/function and TCM nature was analyzed.
    Results: Antidiarrheal TCMs with different natures showed distinct impacts on the gut microbiota. Hot-natured TCMs had no influence on the gut microbiota, warm-natured TCMs had a moderate influence, cool-natured TCMs had a strong influence, and cold-natured TCMs substantially changed the structure of the gut microbial community. The abundance of Anaerotruncus, Tyzzerella and Ruminiclostridium steadily increased, while that of Ruminococcaceae_UCG-010, Parasutterella and Bifidobacterium continuously decreased as the herbal nature turned from cold to hot. Microbiome functional prediction for Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG) of proteins and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) categories showed that colder TCMs imposed a stronger influence on microbial functional repertoires. Specifically, the abundance of ABC transporters, key bacterial proteins involved in nutrient absorption and drug resistance, was gradually decreased by colder TCMs.
    Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that the nature of TCMs could be reflected by their modulation of gut microbes. Cold TCMs may exert their antidiarrheal effects, at least partially, by modulating the gut microbiota, while hot TCMs may alleviate dysentery in other ways.

    Abstract Beginning in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), due to 2019-nCoV infection, emerged in Wuhan and spread rapidly throughout China and even worldwide. Employing combined therapy of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine has been proposed, in which Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction (MXSGD) was recommended as a basic prescription and applied widely in the clinical treatment of COVID-19. We investigated the underlying mechanism of MXSGD in treating COVID-19 utilizing the approaches of integrating network pharmacology. A total of 97 active ingredients of MXSGD were screened out, and 169 targets were predicted. The protein-protein interaction network exhibited hub targets of MXSGD, such as Heat shock protein 90, RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase, Transcription factor AP-1, Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, Cellular tumor antigen p53, Vascular endothelial growth factor A, and Tumour necrosis factor. Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that the biological processes altered within the body after taking MXSGD were closely related to the regulation of such processes as the acute inflammatory response, chemokine production, vascular permeability, response to oxygen radicals, oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, T cell differentiation involved in the immune response, immunoglobulin secretion, and extracellular matrix disassembly. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the targets of MXSGD were significantly enriched in inflammation-related pathways, immunomodulation-related pathways, and viral infection-related pathways. The therapeutic mechanisms of MXSGD on COVID-19 may primarily involve the following effects: reducing inflammation, suppressing cytokine storm, protecting the pulmonary alveolar-capillary barrier, alleviating pulmonary edema, regulating the immune response, and decreasing fever.

    Abstract Xing’anling-Baikal” permafrost is located in the southern edge of the Northern Hemisphere permafrost, which is one of the most important regions of permafrost changes. Based on the monthly meteorological data and circumpolar active layer monitoring data in the last few decades, we analyzed the changes in the depth of seasonal freezing (DSF) and the thermal regime of Xing’anling-Baikal permafrost in China, and compared the state with that of the permafrost in Mongolia at the same latitude (LAT). The “Xing’anling-Baikal” permafrost in China was not connected in the section. The DSF changed between 0.78 and 3.25 m. In the study area, DSF was the thickest in Tulihe and reduced to around. The change rate reached − 16.0–4.9 cm/a and decreased in most areas. The ground temperature raised at a rate of 0–0.41 °C/a, whereas that of other few areas decreased with a rate of − 0.35 °C/a. Freezing duration spanned 141–176 days. The changes were related to air temperature, altitude, LAT, and precipitation in the local area. Compared with the state of permafrost in Mongolia at the same LAT, the permafrost in China exhibited a faster rate of degradation. The permafrost in the Xing’anling area significantly responded to climate change. The results will aid in understanding the temporal and spatial variation in local permafrost and provide relevant verification for regional permafrost.

    Abstract Background: To systematically evaluate the effect and safety of Xing Nao Jing (XNJ) injection as an add-on treatment on the treatment for viral encephalitis (VE).
    Methods: Trials assessing the adjunctive effectiveness of XNJ injection for VE were searched from 4 electronic databases from inception to October 31, 2018. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Meta-analysis and additional analysis were conducted if data permitted. Trial Sequential Analysis and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) were also performed.
    Results: This review involved 23 trials and 1757 participants, all trials were assessed as having unclear risk of bias. Results from 5 meta-analyses, 13 subgroup meta-analyses, and the single studies showed that based on conventional therapy XNJ injection (0.4-0.6 mL/kg daily for children, 20 mL/day for adults) may have better effect on increasing the numbers of cured patients and decreasing the time of recovery of main symptoms for patients with viral encephalitis. Patients used combination of XNJ injection and conventional therapy had higher cured rate (risk ratio 1.61, 95% confidence interval 1.45-1.80, 19 trials, 1456 participants) and less mortality rate (risk ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval 0.10-0.71, 9 trials, 595 participants). The average difference of time for fever, conscious, or convulsive recovery was average 2 hours shorter in combination group than in control. No difference was found between children and adults according to the subgroup analysis. Safety of the XNJ injection was failed to evaluate due to the insufficient evidence in this review.
    Conclusions: This review found "very low" quality evidence which showed the potential effectiveness of combination of XNJ injection and conventional therapies for VE. Considering the TSA results, conclusion could only be draw on effectiveness of the XNJ injection as add-on treatment for VE patients on increasing the cured rate. Firm conclusion on other outcome measures for effectiveness assessment or safety of XNJ injection could not be draw according to this review due to the insufficient evidence.

    Abstract The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a huge threaten to global health, which raise urgent demand of developing efficient therapeutic strategy. The aim of the present study is to dissect the chemical composition and the pharmacological mechanism of Qingfei Paidu Decoction (QFPD), a clinically used Chinese medicine for treating COVID-19 patients in China. Through comprehensive analysis by liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (MS), a total of 129 compounds of QFPD were putatively identified. We also constructed molecular networking of mass spectrometry data to classify these compounds into 14 main clusters, in which exhibited specific patterns of flavonoids (45 %), glycosides (15 %), carboxylic acids (10 %), and saponins (5 %). The target network model of QFPD, established by predicting and collecting the targets of identified compounds, indicated a pivotal role of Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction (MXSG) in the therapeutic efficacy of QFPD. Supportively, through transcriptomic analysis of gene expression after MXSG administration in rat model of LPS-induced pneumonia, the thrombin and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway were suggested to be essential pathways for MXSG mediated anti-inflammatory effects. Besides, changes in content of major compounds in MXSG during decoction were found by the chemical analysis. We also validate that one major compound in MXSG, i.e. glycyrrhizic acid, inhibited TLR agonists induced IL-6 production in macrophage. In conclusion, the integration of in silico and experimental results indicated that the therapeutic effects of QFPD against COVID-19 may be attributed to the anti-inflammatory effects of MXSG, which supports the rationality of the compatibility of TCM.
