Objective: To confirm therapeutical effect of Yinlu jiangzhi capsule on experimental hyperlipemia in SD rats. Methods: Animal model of SD rats with experimental hyperlipemia were given different dosages of Yinlu jiangzhi capsule, and the changes of serum lipid concentrations were observed after drug treatment. Results:Using different dosages of Yinlu jiangzhi capsule, there were marked difference between serum lipid concentrations in experimental groups and that of control group. Conclusion:The results suggest that Yinlu jiangzhi capsule has obvious therapeutic effects on the experimental hyperlipemia in SD rats. [

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of injectable modified sodium hyaluronate gel DX23 in filling and treating midface depression.Methods:A prospective, randomized, multicenter, "no treatment" controlled study was conducted. Patients with midface depression who were treated from March 2019 to February 2021 at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, and Jining First People’s Hospital were enrolled. Patients were randomized using a stratified block randomization method with a random function list. The experimental group received injectable modified sodium hyaluronate gel DX23 to treat midface depression. The concentration of sodium hyaluronate in DX23 was 23 mg/ml. The syringe was inserted perpendicularly to the skin at a 90-degree angle, and the injection layers were the superficial periosteum or the subcutaneous layer. The injection volume ranged from 1 to 6 ml. The control group received no treatment. The upper boundary of the midface extended outward from the zygomatic arch to the upper margin of the helix and inward to the line connecting the outer canthus. The lower boundary was the line connecting the corner of the mouth to the earlobe. Researchers used the midface aesthetic scales (MAS) response rate at 6 months post-injection as the primary indicator to evaluate the efficacy in improving the severity of midface depression. A reduction of 1 point in the MAS score compared to pre-treatment was considered a response, i. e., effective. Secondary indicators included the MAS response rates at 6 and 12 months after the last treatment (MAS response rate=number of MAS responders/total cases × 100%), the average change in three-dimensional midface volume images, the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) response rate, patient satisfaction regarding the degree of improvement in midface volume, and monitoring of adverse reactions. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, SAS 9.04, and StataIC 15.0 software. The full analysis set (FAS) and the per-protocol set (PPS) were selected for analysis. Inferential analysis used t-tests and chi-square tests, with P<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 164 patients were enrolled. The experimental group included 134 patients (7 males and 127 females) with an average age of 43.0±9.7 years (ranging from 21.6 to 66.6 years). The control group included 30 patients (5 males and 25 females) with an average age of 39.3±11.1 years (ranging from 25.6 to 43.5 years). The experimental group received bilateral midface depression filling, with an initial use of injectable modified sodium hyaluronate gel DX23 at a volume of (4.07±1.28) ml. In the experimental group, 3 cases were lost to follow-up at 30 days, 2 cases at 60 days, and 10 cases were excluded due to protocol violations. Fifteen patients entered FAS but not PPS. Ultimately, 119 patients completed the trial. The MAS response rates in the experimental group at 6 and 12 months post-treatment were 94.96% (113/119) and 56.30% (67/119), respectively. The control group’s MAS response rate at 6 months was 3.33% (1/30). At the 6-month follow-up post-treatment, the GAIS response rates evaluated by researchers and patients in the experimental group were 97.48% (116/119) (PPS) and 97.69% (27/30) (FAS), respectively. In the control group, the GAIS response rate evaluated by researchers was 3.33% (1/30) (FAS, PPS), and the patient GAIS response rate was 0% (0/30) (FAS, PPS). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in both researcher and patient GAIS response rates (both P<0.01). At 6 months post-injection, comparisons of midface volume changes from baseline between the experimental and control groups showed statistically significant differences [(1.65±1.40) ml (PPS) vs. (0.12±0.85) ml; (1.55±1.44) ml (FAS) vs. (0.12±0.85) ml; both P<0.001]. At the 6-month follow-up in the experimental group, 1 case was lost to follow-up. In the PPS, 81 patients were "satisfied, " 34 were "very satisfied, " and 3 were "neutral." In the control group, 29 patients were "neutral, " and 1 was "dissatisfied." A total of 128 patients in the experimental group experienced injection site reactions, including swelling, hardness, tenderness, pain, lumps (protrusions), and bruising. Over 75% of patients resolved spontaneously within 8 days. Three cases received hot compress treatment and resolved within 28 days. One case experienced swelling of the left lower eyelid 1 day after injection, which resolved after local compression for 3 months. In the control group, 1 case developed circulatory ischemia and carotid atherosclerosis 12 months after the trial began. Conclusion:Injectable modified sodium hyaluronate gel DX23 corrects midface depression through local volume augmentation and is characterized by safety and durability.
