Background: Daratumumab is widely used in multiple myeloma (MM) and light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis). The purpose of this study was to identify adverse event (AE) signals for daratumumab through the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to assess its safety in a large sample of people.
Methods: Based on data from the FAERS database, three disproportionality analysis methods were used to mine AE signals for daratumumab, including reporting odd ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and bayesian configuration promotion neural network (BCPNN).
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety are common mental illnesses and there are many similar pathogenesis and clinical manifestations between PTSD and anxiety. Kaixinsan powder (KXS), a commonly used prescription in traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely used to treat PTSD and anxiety. This study aims to explore the potential mechanisms of KXS for the same pathogenesis of PTSD and anxiety using a network pharmacology approach.

We aimed to compare and rank the efficacy and safety of 4 AAPs in the adjuvant treatment of MDD.
Methods: We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published and unpublished from the date of databases and clinical trial websites inception to April 30, 2023.
Introduction: Ding-Zhi-Xiao-Wan (DZXW) produces potential antidepressant-like effects. However, its antidepressant mechanisms are still unclear.
Objective: To analyze the antidepressant effects and the pharmacological mechanisms of DZXW, meta-analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking were selected in this study.
Alzheimer's Disease is considered as an insidious neurodegenerative progressive disease but its pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Acoritataninowii Rhizoma exhibits anti-dementia effects as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is linked to its anti- Alzheimer's Disease mechanism. In this study, network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to examine the potential of Acoritataninowii Rhizoma for Alzheimer's Disease.

The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate whether HLX01 is clinically consistent with the original drug based on real-world data to provide evidence for the clinical substitution of biosimilars in China.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted to select patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who met the inclusion criteria and were treated with HLX01 or reference rituximab.
Bupleurum chinense DC. (Chaihu) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used in the treatment of anxiety. But the anxiolytic mechanisms of bupleurum are still unclear.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) such as pinellia has been proven effective for antidepressant treatment with fewer side effects. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPost traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that has a debilitating effect on a person's quality of life and leads to a high socioeconomic burden. Licorice has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects, but little is known about its effects for the treatment of PTSD. The present study aimed to explore the potential of licorice for PTSD therapy using a network pharmacology approach with molecular docking studies.
