Based on network pharmacology and in vivo experiment, this study explored the therapeutic effect of Tetrastigma hemsle-yanum(SYQ) on sepsis and the underlying mechanism. The common targets of SYQ and sepsis were screened out by network pharmacology, and the "SYQ-component-target-sepsis" network was constructed. The protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was established by STRING.

Article Synopsis
  • Major depressive disorder (MDD) is complex and can be classified into different subtypes. This study aimed to see if metabolomic variables could distinguish between these types in relation to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
  • A total of 50 patients with recurrent depression were analyzed, split into two TCM subtypes (Liver Qi Stagnation and Heart and Spleen Deficiency), with healthy volunteers as controls, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assess their metabolic profiles.
  • The findings revealed distinct metabolomic profiles for each TCM subtype compared to healthy controls, with specific differences in amino acids and energy metabolism, indicating that the LQS subtype may be linked to unique pathophysiological processes and potential biomarkers for tailored antidepressant therapies

In this study, a new method based on immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) combined with ultrafiltration-ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UF-UPLC-MS) was developed for discovering ligands for xanthine oxidase (XO) in Gnaphalium hypoleucum DC., a folk medicine used in China for the treatment of gout. By IMAC, the high flavonoid content of G.

Rhizoma Atractylodes macrocephala polysaccharides (RAMP) have been reported to have a variety of important biological activities. In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic extraction (UAEE) was employed to obtain the highest extraction yield and strongest antioxidant activity of RAMP and optimized by a multi-response optimization process. A three-level four-factor Box-Behnken design (BBD) was performed as response surface methodology (RSM) with desirability function (DF) to attain the optimal extraction parameters.
