Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huangqin Tang (HQT) combined with mesalazine for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods: The China Knowledge Network, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, SinoMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of UC with HQT in Chinese and English. The search time was from the establishment of the database to October 2021. The included literature was evaluated for data extraction and risk of bias, efficacy and safety were evaluated using the RevMan5.3 software, and the quality of evidence was evaluated using GRADE.

Results: Six studies with a total of 565 subjects were included, and a meta-analysis showed that HQT combined with mesalazine for UC significantly improved the cure rate (RR = 1.56, 95% CI [1.23, 1.98), =0.0003) and overall efficacy rate (RR = 1.24, 95% CI [1.14, 1.35], =0.00001), which significantly reduced the clinical symptom scores; however, all had high heterogeneity. HQT combined with mesalazine modulated the patients' serum IL-6, IL-10, IgA, and IgG levels. HQT combined with mesalazine for UC tended to reduce adverse effects; however, the difference was not statistically significant. All GRADE ratings of the quality of evidence were of low quality.

Conclusions: HQT combined with mesalazine in the treatment of UC significantly improved the cure rate and overall treatment efficiency and regulated the expression levels of serum IL-6, IL-10, IgA, and IgG.

Introduction: Dandelion is widely used in clinical practice due to its beneficial effects. Polyphenolic compounds are considered the main anti-inflammatory active ingredient of dandelion, but the gene expression patterns of polyphenolic compounds in different dandelion tissues are still unclear.

Methods: In this study, we combined a nontargeted metabolome, PacBio Iso-seq transcriptome, and Illumina RNA-seq transcriptome to investigate the relationship between polyphenols and gene expression in roots, flowers, and leaves of flowering dandelion plants.

Article Synopsis
  • Huangqin Tang (HQT) is a traditional Chinese medicine known for treating inflammatory bowel diseases and is studied for its potential to combat colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC).
  • This study aimed to evaluate HQT's effectiveness in reducing CAC and understand the mechanisms behind its action, using a mouse model and various biochemical analyses.
  • Results showed that HQT reduced inflammation, decreased tumor markers, altered amino acid levels, and inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, suggesting it may help delay or alleviate CAC.

Huangqin tea (HQT), a Non- Tea derived from the aerial parts of , is widely used in the north of China. The intervention effects of HQT on intestinal inflammation and tumors have been found recently, but the active ingredient and mechanism of action remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the interactions between the potential flavonoid active components and gut microbiota through culture experiments in vitro combined with HPLC-UV, UPLC-QTOF-MS, and 16S rDNA sequencing technology.
