Medicinal Fritillaria herbs, known for their rich content of steroidal alkaloids, have emerged as promising candidates in the treatment of chronic diseases due to their diverse pharmacological properties. Leveraging advancements in network pharmacology and molecular docking, this study explores the multi-target mechanisms through which these alkaloids exert therapeutic effects. The integration of bioinformatics, systems biology, and pharmacology in drug discovery has provided insights into the molecular interactions and pathways influenced by Fritillaria steroidal alkaloids. This review synthesizes comprehensive literature from 1985 to 2024, revealing the potential of these compounds in addressing respiratory diseases, inflammation, and cancer. The integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern pharmacological techniques underscores the relevance of these compounds in next-generation drug discovery. While initial findings are promising, further empirical validation is necessary to fully harness the therapeutic potential of Fritillaria steroidal alkaloids.

Plateau hyperuricemia is a common disease in the plateau area, and the incidence is much higher than that in the plain area. Dioscin (DIO) and its active metabolite Diosgenin (DG) exert therapeutic effects on hyperuricemia through oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, DIO and its active metabolite DG were taken as the research objects to explore their therapeutic effects on high-altitude hyperuricemia in rats.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comprises heterogeneous disorders, which have an increase in blood glucose concentrations in common. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) describes the simultaneous occurrence of several clinical symptoms that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and T2DM, although T2DM itself is also considered a risk factor for developing MetS.
Objective: This study aimed to identify parameters related to rehabilitation success and relevant to MetS in T2DM patients.

This study aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with bone marrow invasive follicular lymphoma (FL) and discuss the treatment modalities. This study included 183 consecutive patients with FL accompanied by bone marrow invasion and receiving regular treatment at the Hospital of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2013 to December 2022. Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed, and single and multifactorial analyses of survival prognosis were conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model.
