Context: Qingyi granules can be used to effectively treat patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
Objective: To elucidate the role of gut microbiota-mediated metabolism in the therapeutic effects of Qingyi granules.
Materials And Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped into the sham operation, SAP model, Qingyi granule intervention (Q, 1.8 g/kg) and emodin intervention (E, 50 mg/kg) groups and observed for 24 h. H&E staining and ELISA were used for histopathological analysis and serum enzyme and cytokine assays. 16S rDNA sequencing and UHPLC-HRMS were used for gut microbiota analysis and untargeted metabolomics.
Results: In SAP rats, Qingyi granules decreased the pancreatic pathological score (Q, 7.4 ± 1.14; SAP, 11.6 ± 1.14, < 0.01); serum amylase (Q, 121.2 ± 6.7; SAP, 144.3 ± 8.86, < 0.05), lipase (Q, 566 ± 20.34; SAP, 656.7 ± 29.32, < 0.01), and diamineoxidase (Q, 492.8 ± 26.08; SAP, 566.1 ± 26.83, < 0.05) activities; and IL-1β (Q, 29.48 ± 0.88; SAP, 36.17 ± 1.88, < 0.01), IL-6 (Q, 112.2 ± 3.57; SAP, 128.9 ± 9.09, < 0.05) and TNF-α (Q, 215.3 ± 8.67; SAP, 266.4 ± 28.03, < 0.05) levels. SAP induced and overgrowth and suppressed and growth and caused aberrations in bacterial metabolites, which were partly reversed by Qingyi granules.
Discussion And Conclusions: Qingyi granules can modulate the gut microbiota and metabolic abnormalities to ameliorate SAP. Multi-omics approaches allow systematic study of the pharmacological mechanisms of compound prescriptions for critical illnesses.

Intestinal mucosal barrier injury represents a critical complication of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) without effective treatment. This study investigated the efficacy, underlying mechanism, and responsible active compounds of the traditional Chinese medicinal prescription Chaihuang Qingyi Huoxue granule (CHQY) in treating SAP-induced intestinal mucosal barrier injury. SAP was established in Sprague-Dawley rats via intra-pancreaticobiliary duct infusion of sodium taurocholate, followed by oral CHQY administration (3.

Background: Despite its extensive utilization in Chinese hospitals for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) and related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the active components and mechanisms underlying the action of Qingyi Granule (QYKL) remain elusive.
Methods: This study consists of four parts. First, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship between AP, cytokine, and ARDS.

Background: Qing-Yi Recipe, a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is widely used for treating acute diseases of the abdomen, especially pancreatitis, the efficacy of which has been demonstrated in more than thirty clinical trials. However, the in-vivo pharmacodynamic material basis for this formula remains unclear.
Methods: A sensitive and accurate method for quantifying twenty-two potential bioactive constituents of Qing-Yi Recipe in biological samples was developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and this method was fully validated.
