Efficacy of Ying-huang and San-ao Decoctions in Sepsis-Associated Acute Lung Injury.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the combined treatment of Ying-Huang Decoction and San-ao Decoction compared to conventional treatment alone in patients with sepsis-associated acute lung injury (S-ALI) and to assess its potential mechanisms for improving clinical symptoms, reducing inflammatory response, and promoting respiratory function recovery.

Methods: We included 84 S-ALI patients admitted to our hospital between January 2021 and January 2023. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 42 patients in each group.

Emodin Attenuates Sepsis-induced Intestinal Injury by Regulating TRPM7 Expression.

Background: Sepsis is a potentially lethal organ immune dysfunction induced by infection, with the stomach being the first organ to be attacked. Emodin has anti-inflammatory and gastrointestinal functions, but its therapeutic effect on intestinal injury in sepsis remains unclear. This study sought to investigate the role of emodin in treating intestine damage brought on by sepsis.
