Context: Bailing capsule, derived from (Berk.) Sacc. (Clavicipitaceae), has shown potential in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a prevalent respiratory disorder.
Objective: This study elucidates the efficacy and mechanism of action of the use of Bailing capsules in the treatment of COPD using meta-analysis and network pharmacology.
Materials And Methods: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed. The treatment group received Bailing capsules alongside standard therapy, while the control group received standard therapy or in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines. Efficacy outcomes included lung function, exercise tolerance, acute exacerbation risk, and quality of life. Network pharmacology and molecular docking identified key targets of Bailing capsules.
Results: The meta-analysis of 27 RCTs showed significant improvements in the treatment group for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, and the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Additionally, there was a marked reduction in acute COPD attacks and an improvement in quality of life. Meanwhile, network pharmacological analysis identified SRC, HIF1A, NFKB1, HDAC2, and PRKACA, as the potential core targets for Bailing capsules in the treatment of COPD.
Discussion And Conclusion: Bailing capsules have shown promising results in the treatment of stable COPD. Future studies should focus on large-scale, multicenter RCTs to confirm the long-term benefits and safety of Bailing capsules.

Effects of Bailing capsules combined with levothyroxine sodium on autoimmune thyroiditis.

Department of Endocrinology, Shijiazhuang People's Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China.
To explore the clinical effects and adverse reactions of Bailing capsules combined with levothyroxine sodium for autoimmune thyroiditis, 70 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the Bailing treatment group and the control, both consisting of 35 patients. The control group was treated with levothyroxine sodium alone, and the treatment group with Bailing capsules combined with levothyroxine sodium. The clinical efficacy, thyroid function indicators, antibodies and inflammatory indicators, and adverse drug reactions were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- T cell infiltration and differentiation play a crucial role in lupus nephritis (LN), which is a severe kidney condition often associated with lupus, and earlier studies indicated that cordyceps (WCP) may help protect the kidneys and reduce fibrosis.
- This research aimed to explore how WCP affects the immune system in LN and how it works, using various laboratory techniques on lupus-prone mice over an 8-week treatment period.
- Results showed that WCP significantly improved kidney health by lowering urinary proteins and harmful antibodies, enhancing kidney structure, and decreasing harmful T cell activity, suggesting that WCP could be a beneficial treatment for managing lupus nephritis.
Study on chemical profiling of bailing capsule and its potential mechanism against thyroiditis based on network pharmacology with molecular docking strategy.

Article Synopsis
- Bailing capsule (BLC) shows potential for treating thyroiditis by modulating the autoimmune system, with this study focusing on its chemical profile and therapeutic mechanisms using network pharmacology and molecular docking methods.
- The analysis identified 58 compounds in BLC, primarily nucleosides and amino acids, and highlighted 16 active components linked to key targets like AKT1 and MAPK3, which play roles in thyroid hormone regulation and inflammatory immune responses.
- Molecular docking confirmed that compounds such as adenosine and guanosine strongly bind to targets associated with the development of thyroiditis, providing insights for further research on BLC's therapeutic mechanisms.
