Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHW) contains chemical components such as ligustrazine, oxypaeoniflora, chlorogenic acid, and others. To explore the neuroprotective effect and potential target protein of BYHW in cerebral infarction (CI). A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was established and patients with CI were divided into the BYHW group (n = 35) and the control group (n = 30). To evaluate the efficacy by TCM syndrome score and clinical indicators, and to explore the changes of serum proteins by proteomics technology, so as to explore the mechanism of BYHW and potential target proteins. The study found that compared with the control group, the TCM syndrome score, including Deficiency of Vital Energy (DVE), Blood Stasis (BS), and NIHSS in the BYHW group decreased significantly (p < 0.05), and the Barthel Index (BI) score was significantly higher. A total of 99 differential regulatory proteins were identified by proteomics, which act on lipids and atherosclerosis, complement and coagulation cascade, and TNF-α signaling pathway. In addition, Elisa verified the results of proteomics and found that BYHW can reduce the neurological impairments focus on IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, MMP-9, and PAI-1. Significance: In this study, quantitative proteomics was used in combination with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to study the therapeutic effect of BYHW on cerebral infarction (CI) and potential changes in serum proteomics. In addition, the public proteomics database was used for bioinformatics analysis, and Elisa experiment verified the results of proteomics, further clarifying the potential protection mechanism of BYHW on CI.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Delayed tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis, which has a restrictive therapeutic time window within 4.5 h following ischemic stroke (IS), increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and subsequent neurotoxicity. Studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome activation reversely regulated by the PGC-1α leads to microglial polarization and pyroptosis to cause damage to nerve cells and the blood-brain barrier.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) exerts its anti-cerebral ischemia effects through multiple pathways and targets, although its specific mechanisms remain unclear.
Aim Of The Study: Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) metabolomics and other methods were employed to investigate the role of BYHWD in inhibiting neuronal apoptosis following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by modulating the RhoA/Rock2 pathway.
Methods: A rat model of exhaustion swimming combined with middle cerebral artery occlusion (ES + I/R) was established to evaluate the intervention effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

The LDL Receptor-Related Protein 1(LRP1), a member of the Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family, is a multifunctional cellular transporter and signaling receptor, this includes regulation of lipid metabolism, cell migration and signaling. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain is thought to be the main pathological change in Alzheimer's disease. By binding to a variety of ligands, LRP1 is involved in the internalization and degradation of Aβ, thereby affecting the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Objective: Currently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its combinations are widely used in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke. However, current studies should mainly focus on the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicines alone. This paper will employ a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of different TCM decoctions in the treatment of patients with ischemic stroke.
