Epimedii Folium has a long history in China as a common traditional Chinese medicine. Key factors of Epimedii Folium quality were summarized based on ancient literatures, Chinese Pharmacopoeias and modern research in different period of history. The main reason for unqualified Epimedii Folium is unstable icariin. Therefore, it's suggested that: the precondition of the quality control of epimedium is to find the proper quality marker. It's suggested that the medicinal parts should be reverted to "dry whole plant overground" to solve Epimedium resource shortage problem. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the standardized cultivation, so as to ensure germplasm, production area, and producing method to guarantee the quality of Epimedium Folium. In the drying method, it is recommended to change "dry in the sun or shade" to "dry", namely dry in the sun, shade or drier, in order to provide a new method to improve the quality control and quality standard of Epimedii Folium.

Background: The Beclin-1/Bcl-2 complex plays a pivotal role in regulating both autophagy and apoptosis in osteoblasts affected by osteoporosis. This study first investigates whether the Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Formula can enhance the cellular function of osteoblasts. Additionally, it initially explores the functional mechanism of Beclin-1/Bcl-2-related apoptosis.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia. Aβ-mediated neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the development of AD. Curculiginis Rhizoma and Epimedii Folium, frequently used in combination for their synergistic effects, have shown promise for cognitive improvement and anti-inflammatory properties in previous studies.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Epimedii Folium (Yinyanghuo) is a commonly used Chinese herb that plays a significant role in a lot of herbal formulae used to treat sexual dysfunction. Recently, an increasing amount of research on Epimedii Folium related to male reproductive dysfunction has been reported, and the exploration and application of Epimedium are also expanding rapidly. Flavonoids make up the vast majority of the chemical composition of Epimedii Folium, with small amounts of icarsides series, alkaloids, polysaccharide, volatile oils and other natural compounds.

Reports of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-related liver injury have increased over recent years; however, identifying susceptibility-related components and biomarkers remains challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of TCM and idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI). (PF) and (EF), commonly found in TCM prescriptions, have been implicated in IDILI, but their constituents and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we identified bavachin (Bav) and icariin (Ica) as susceptibility components for IDILI in PF and EF using a TNF-α-mediated mouse model.

Article Synopsis
- Leaves from two cultivars were analyzed for their metabolomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic profiles, identifying a total of 1,412 and 1,421 metabolites, with flavonoids making up 33%.
- Transcriptomic analysis revealed 41,644 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including five involved in icariin biosynthesis, while proteomics found 9,745 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).
- An integrated omics approach mapped connections between DEGs and DEPs, highlighting a regulatory network for icariin synthesis that can inform future medicinal plant research and drug development.
