Integrated Metabolomics and Network Pharmacology Study on the Mechanism of Kangfuxiaoyan Suppository for Treating Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Kangfuxiaoyan suppository (KFXYS) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation for the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID) clinically, and its safety and effectiveness have been well verified. However, the potential mechanism remains unclear. The integrated strategy of metabolomics and network pharmacology was employed in the study to reveal the potential mechanism of KFXYS in the treatment of CPID.

The Study on the Mechanism of Hugan Tablets in Treating Drug-Induced Liver Injury Induced by Atorvastatin.

Atorvastatin is a widely used lipid-lowering drug in the clinic. Research shows that taking long-term atorvastatin has the risk of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in most patients. Hugan tablets, a commonly used drug for liver disease, can effectively lower transaminase and protect the liver.

Noninvasive Quantitative Detection Methods of Liver Fat Content in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) ranges from simple steatosis to NAFLD-related liver cirrhosis and is a main cause of chronic liver diseases. Patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis are at a great risk of the progression to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma, both of which are tightly associated with liver-related mortality. Liver biopsy is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD, but some defects, such as serious complications, sampling error and variability in histologic evaluation among pathologists, remain problematic.
