    Abstract Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive, systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Bi Zhong Xiao decoction (BZXD) performs multiple functions for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment for decades. In this study, we aimed to study the protein alterations of BZXD in the early and late stages of RA.
    Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the Control, collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and BZXD groups. Clinical assessment, paw thickness, weight changes and serum inflammatory cytokine levels were used to evaluate anti-inflammatory effects. Histopathological tests were performed to assess the improvement of inflammation and synovial hyperplasia. Moreover, we analyzed the proteins profiling of synovial tissue samples with different time intervals after BZXD treatment by Isobaric Tag for Relative Absolute (ITRAQ) quantitative proteomics technology. To further explore the interrelationships among differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), we used DAVID Bioinformatics Resources v6.8 and STRING 11.0 for bioinformatics analysis. Besides, the western blot and immunohistochemistry were exerted to verify related proteins.
    Results: In our study, BZXD ameliorated joint inflammation, and suppressed the pathological changes in arthrosis of CIA rats. The proteomic analysis demonstrated that CIA rats were mainly involved in two significant pathways (the focal adhesion and the ECM-receptor interaction) in the early stage. BZXD down-regulated the expression of proteins involved in these pathways, such as CAV1, CHAD, COL3A1, COL5A2, COL6A1, and COL6A5. Additionally, BZXD exerts anti-inflammatory effects in the late stage mainly by increasing the expression of FASN and affecting fatty acid metabolism.
    Conclusion: BZXD exerts therapeutic effects on RA through multi-pathways in the early and late stages. This work may provide proteomic clues for treating RA by BZXD.

    Abstract Background: Bi Zhong Xiao decoction (BZXD), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, has been used clinically for many years to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both clinical and experimental studies have revealed that BZXD is effective in treating RA, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the mechanism of efficacy of BZXD through transcriptomic analysis of lncRNA and mRNA.
    Methods: The combination method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry was used to assess the quality of BZXD. The efficacy of BZXD in treating collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was evaluated by clinical assessment, weight changes, hematoxylin-eosin and safranin o-fast green staining, and Micro-CT. Arraystar rat lncRNA-mRNA chip technology was used to determine the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of the Control, CIA and BZXD groups, and to screen gene expression profiles related to the curative effect of BZXD. A lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network was constructed for the therapeutic efficacy genes. Through GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, the biological functions and signaling pathways of therapeutic efficacy genes were determined. Based on fold change and functional annotation, key differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were selected for reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation. The functions of lncRNAs targeting mRNAs were verified in vitro.
    Results: We demonstrated that BZXD could effectively reverse bone erosion. After BZXD treatment, up to 33 lncRNAs and 107 mRNAs differentially expressed genes were reversely regulated by BZXD. These differentially expressed lncRNAs are mainly involved in the biological process of the immune response and are closely related to the ECM-receptor interaction, MAPK signaling pathway, Focal adhesion, Ras signaling pathway, Antigen processing and presentation, and Chemokine signaling pathway. We identified four lncRNAs (uc.361-, ENSRNOT00000092834, ENSRNOT00000089244, ENSRNOT00000084631) and three mRNAs (Acvr2a, Cbx2, Morc4) as potential therapeutic targets for BZXD and their microarray data consistent with the RT-qPCR. In vitro experiments confirmed that silencing the lncRNAs ENSRNOT00000092834 and ENSRNOT00000084631 reversed the expression of target mRNAs.
    Conclusions: This study elucidates the possible mechanism of BZXD reversing bone erosion in CIA rats from the perspective of lncRNA and mRNA. To provide a basis and direction for further exploration of the mechanism of BZXD in treating RA.

    Abstract Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classic herbal formula. All of them are derived from Treatise on Cold Damage(Shang Han Lun) by ZHANG Zhong-jing. This combination has the effects of harmonizing lesser yang, relieving exterior syndrome, clearing lung heat, and relieving panting. It is mainly used for treating the disease involving the triple-Yang combination of diseases and accumulation of pathogenic heat in the lung. Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classic combination for the treatment of exogenous diseases involving the triple-Yang combination. They are commonly used in exogenous diseases, especially in the north of China. This combination is also the main treatment strategy for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) accompanied by fever and cough. Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classical herbal formula for treating the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung. "Dyspnea after sweating" suggests the accumulation of pathogenic heat in the lung. Patients with mild symptoms may develop cough and asthma along with forehead sweating, and those in critical severe may develop whole-body sweating, especially the front chest. Modern medicine believes that the above situation is related to lung infection. "Mild fever" refers to syndromes rather than pathogenesis. It does not mean that the heat syndrome is not heavy, instead, it suggests that severe heat and inflammation have occurred. The indications of Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction are as follows.(1) In terms of diseases, it is suitable for the treatment of viral pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, COVID-19 infection, measles with pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS), avian influenza, H1N1 influenza, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, pertussis, and other influenza and pneumonia.(2) In terms of syndromes, it can be used for the syndromes of bitter mouth, dry pharynx, vertigo, loss of appetite, vexation, vomiting, and fullness and discomfort in the chest and hypochondrium. It can also be used to treat alternate attacks of chill and fever and different degrees of fever, as well as chest tightness, cough, asthma, expectoration, dry mouth, wanting cold drinks, feeling agitated, sweating, yellow urine, dry stool, red tongue, yellow or white fur, and floating, smooth, and powerful pulse, especially the right wrist pulse.

    Abstract Background: Xiao Yao San (XYS) is thought to be beneficial for the treatment of hypertension in China.
    Purpose: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XYS in hypertension.
    Study design: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in 7 electronic databases for randomized controlled trials from their inception until January 7, 2019.
    Methods: Methodological quality was assessed independently using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
    Results: A total of 17 trials including 1460 hypertensive patients met the selection criteria. Pooled analysis favored XYS plus antihypertensive drugs on blood pressure (BP), Hamilton anxiety scale, self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, 9-item patient health questionnaire scale, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. No significant difference between XYS plus antihypertensive drugs and antihypertensive drugs on major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was identified. XYS was well tolerated in the treatment of hypertension.
    Conclusion: XYS adjuvant to antihypertensive drugs maybe beneficial for hypertensive patients in lowering BP, improving depression, regulating blood lipids, and inhibiting inflammation. However, the efficacy and safety of XYS are still uncertain due to methodological shortcomings. More long-term, randomized, double-blinded clinical trials are needed in future studies.

    Abstract Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT) has been proven to be effective for the clinical treatment of depression. However, the mechanisms of definite antidepressant-like effects and detailed metabolic biomarkers were still unclear in this prior study. Here, we have investigated the metabolic profiles and potential biomarkers in a chronic unpredictable mild stress model after treatment with XCHT. Metabonomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to profile the metabolic fingerprints of serum obtained from a rat model with chronic unpredictable mild stress with and without XCHT treatment. The model rats showed a significant decrease in sucrose preference and food consumption, and these depression-like symptoms were significantly improved by XCHT. Through principal component analysis (PCA), nine potential biomarkers of tryptophan, uric acid, phenylalanine, cholic acid and lysophosphatidylcholine (C18:0 LPC, C16:0 LPC, C16:1 LPC, C18:1 LPC, C20:4 LPC) were characterized as potential biomarkers involved the pathogenesis of depression. The therapeutic effect of XCHT on depression may involve in amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammation response. The present investigation highlights that metabonomics is a valuable tool for studying the essence of depression as well as evaluating the efficacy of the corresponding drug treatment.

    Abstract Objective. To confirm the effect and safety of Xiao’er Biantong (XEBT) granules for treating chronic constipation in children. Methods. This randomized, double-blind, multicenter study enrolled 480 children with age of 1–14 years who had FC. All of them were randomly assigned to receive either XEBT granules or its placebo in the ratio of 3 : 1. The primary efficacy outcome was the frequency of spontaneous bowel movements (SBM) for 14 days, and secondary outcomes were effectual time, score of main symptoms, effect of constipation, disappearance rate of accompanying symptoms, and recurrence rate. We also observed the adverse event (AE) and adverse drug reaction (ADR) to evaluate safety. Results. The sociodemographic characteristics and efficiency data were comparable in the two groups at baseline. The mean values of SBM for 14 days were 8.89 and 5.63 in the XEBT group and the placebo group, respectively, and there were 86.87% and 30.91% subjects in two groups up to SBM ≥ 3/week, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups. The effects in the XEBT group on median effectual time of defecation, main symptom score, disappearance rate of symptoms, and the differences were significant. The conclusions based on full analysis set (FAS) and per protocol set (PPS) were consistent. Nine AEs were reported, of which 7 were in the XEBT group (2.02%) while 2 were in the placebo group (1.77%). There were no significant differences in the occurrence rate of AE and ADR between the two groups. Conclusions. Xiao’er Biantong granules have superior efficacy compared to the placebo for the treatment of functional constipation in children and are well tolerated.
