Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Jiangdu People's Hospital of Yangzhou, No. 9 Dongfang Hong Road, Jiangdu District, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China.

Published: January 2021

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of combination of Aidi injection and chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone in treatment of breast cancer.

Methods: The related control and randomized studies till August 1, 2020, were retrieved in the database including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, Wang-Fang, and VIP. Primary outcomes were response rate (RR) and performance status (KPS) improvement rate; secondary outcomes were rate of adverse drug reactions (ADR) including myelosuppression, digestive tract reaction, liver dysfunction, and cardiac toxicity. Review Manager 5.3 was used in the present analysis.

Results: In total, 20 studies (18 articles) were included in the present analysis. RR (OR 1.76 (1.32, 2.35); =0.0001) and KPS improvement rate (OR: 2.68 (1.34, 6.46); =0.007) in Aidi injection plus chemotherapy group were significantly higher than those of chemotherapy alone group. Addition of Aidi injection significantly reduced the rate of myelosuppression, digestive tract reaction, leukocyte decrease, II-IV cardiac function abnormality, atrial dysrhythmia, ventricular arrhythmia, ST segment T wave inversion, and abnormal ECG (all < 0.05).

Conclusion: Aidi injection could increase the efficacy of chemotherapy, could reduce myelosuppression, digestive tract reaction, and cardiac toxicity induced by chemotherapy, and did not lead to additional toxicity and side effect. Therefore, it is an anticancer drug with good efficacy and low toxicity, worth further popularization.

Background: With extended gefitinib treatment, the therapeutic effect in some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients declined with the development of drug resistance. Aidi injection (ADI) is utilized in various cancers as a traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This study explores the molecular mechanism by which ADI, when combined with gefitinib, attenuates gefitinib resistance in PC9GR NSCLC cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is crucial in Aidi injection for its anti-cancer effects, making its accurate detection important for treatment monitoring.
  • A new fluorescent detection method using DPA-capped bimetallic gold/copper nanoclusters (DPA-Au/CuNCs) is introduced, which shows rapid response and sensitivity to CGA levels in the injection.
  • This method effectively identifies CGA in Aidi injection and plasma with high recovery rates, suggesting its usefulness in pharmaceutical and clinical settings.
