Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) in intervening atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (AS-MI) in experimental animals, and inspect its influences on angiogenesis.
Methods: Twenty male New-Zealand rabbits were made into AS-MI model, and randomly divided into 2 groups equally. Group A was fed with high-fat diet for control; Group B was fed with high-fat diet but intervened with SBP. The cardiac function and the positive area of plaque were determined. The CD34 positive response intensity at infarcted marginal zone and aorta vessel wall, and the capillary density of myocardium were measured by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, the protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) were detected by Western blot.
Results: Compared to Group A, the cardiac function was obviously improved (P<0.05) and the plaque positive area (%) was significantly decreased in Group B (45.82 +/- 3.68 vs 82.56 +/- 4.97, P<0.01). The CD34 positive response intensity and the capillary density as well as VEGF and VEGFR-2 expressions in infarcted marginal zone in Group A were higher than those in Group B (P<0.01); but these parameters at aorta vessel walls were lower in Group A than in Group B (P<0.01).
Conclusion: SBP could advance the angiogenesis in the marginal zone of infarction, improve heart function, and embarrass angiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaque.

Efficacy and Safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (MUSKARDIA) in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease Across Different Weight Subgroups.
J Ethnopharmacol
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Internal Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200000, China.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shexiang Baoxin Pill (MUSKARDIA), a traditional Chinese patent medicine, plays a crucial role in both preventing and treating diverse cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure. Preclinical research has demonstrated that the cardioprotective effects of MUSKARDIA are achieved through multiple pathways, such as enhancing coronary artery dilation, fostering new blood vessel growth, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, improving lipid metabolism, and protecting vascular endothelium.
Aim Of The Study: This subgroup analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (MUSKARDIA) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) across different weight categories in treating stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

Background: Atherosclerosis is a disease marked by the development of lipid lesions within the endothelium and continues to be a prominent contributor to global mortality. Shexiang Baoxin pill (SBP) has been employed in the management of numerous cardiovascular diseases, but the complex mechanisms by which it operates remain obscure. This research was conducted to determine the potential impact of SBP on atherosclerosis and the underlying regulatory mechanism involved.

Background: Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) are widely used in China as an adjuvant treatment in dilated cardiomyopathy with heart failure (DCM-HF). However, comprehensive and systematic evidence supporting the beneficial effects of CPMs combined with current complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments against DCM-HF was limited. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to assess and rank the relative efficacy of eight different CPMs for DCM-HF.

Article Synopsis
- A network meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various Chinese patent medicines for treating chronic pulmonary heart disease, analyzing data from numerous databases including CNKI, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, up to December 2023.
- The analysis included 95 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 8,787 patients and assessed multiple Chinese patent medicines, focusing on metrics like cardiac function, forced expiratory volume, and partial pressure of gases in the blood.
- Top-performing treatments combined Chinese medicines with conventional western medicines, including Wenxin Granules, Tongxinluo Capsules, and Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills for overall efficacy and improvements in respiratory function.

Background: Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) frequently experience a heightened incidence of depression, thereby increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Consequently, early detection and intervention in depressive symptoms among patients with MI are imperative. Shexiang Baoxin Pills (SBP), a Chinese patent medicine employed for the treatment of MI, exhibits diverse mechanisms targeting this condition.
