Yiqi Fumai lyophilized injection (YQFM), a compound traditional Chinese medicine prescription derived from "Sheng Mai Powder," is approved for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. YQFM is usually prescribed in combination with some Western medicines to treat patients, such as aspirin, nifedipine, and clopidogrel. However, the herb-drug interactions (HDIs) of YQFM are still unclear.

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Salvianolate injection (SI) in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI).We electronically searched databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang Data to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focused on SI treating ACI up to August 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies.

YiQiFuMai powder injection (YQFM), derived from the classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Shengmai San, is a modern preparation widely used to combat cardiovascular diseases, chronic heart failure (CHF) for example, in clinical practice in China. Ginsenosides are the major components of YQFM, which are responsible for its therapeutic effect. In this research, we developed a rapid, sensitive and simple method for simultaneous determination of ten ginsenosides from YQFM in CHF rat plasma with ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS).

In this article, the NIRS based process analytical system for the production of salvianolic acid for injection was introduced. The design of the process analytical system was described in detail, including the selection of monitored processes and testing mode, and potential risks that should be avoided.

To develop an efficient discrimination tool for the cultivation age and to explore potential age-dependent markers, an optimized ultra high-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/QTOF-MS)-based metabolomics approach was applied in the global metabolite profiling of 156 MCG leaf (MGL) samples aged from 6 to 18 years. Multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used to compare the derived patterns between MGL samples of different cultivation ages.

However, its potential mechanism against HF remains unclear.
Aim Of The Study: The present study observes the therapeutic role of YQFM and mechanisms underlying its effects on coronary artery ligation (CAL)-induced myocardial remodeling (MR) and HF.
Background: Inflammatory reactions induced by microglia in the brain play crucial roles in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cerebral injuries. Microglia activation has been shown to be closely related to TLR4/NF-κB signal pathways. Salvianolic acids for injection (SAFI) have been used in clinical practice to treat ischemic stroke with reported neuroprotective effects; however, the underlying mechanisms are still uncertain.
