This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Shen-Y uan Y i-Qi Huo-Xue (SYYQHX) capsule com-bined with early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on near-term quality of life (QOL) in unstable angina (UA) patients. Seventy-eight patients diagnosed with UA were selected and randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 39 patients in each group. Early PCI was undergone after coronary angiography. Before PCI, the control group was given routine western medication. The treatment group was given routine western medication plus SYYQHX capsule, three pills once, three times daily. The treatment lasted for 30 days. The QOL scores were evalu-ated among patients from both groups before and after treatment in order to determine the efficacy on angina, electro-cardiogram (ECG) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) main symptom. The results showed that compared to pre-treatment, the scores of physical limitation (PL), angina stability (AS), angina frequency (AF), and treatment satisfac-tion ( TS ) were significantly increased after treatment ( P < 0 . 05 ) . Compared with the control group , after treat-ment with SYYQHX capsule, the AF, duration time and symptoms of palpitation, fatigue and shortness of breath were obviously improved (P< 0.05). The scores of AS, AF and TS in the treatment group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). It was concluded that SYYQHX capsule combined with early PCI can improve the near-term QOL and TCM main symptoms among UA patients.

Objective:To explore the effective components and potential mechanisms of Xiefei Lishui Prescription in the treatment of heart failure.Methods:Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography tandem four stage rod time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) technology was used to analyze and identify the active components of Xiefei Lishui Prescription. Drug targets were predicted through the Swiss Target Prediction database, and disease targets were collected from Gene Cards, Dis GENET, and TTD databases. The intersection of drug targets and disease targets was screened using a STRING database for protein interaction to identify core targets. The core targets were included in the DAVID database for GO enrichment and KEGG analysis. Finally, molecular docking validation was performed between the drug components and the corresponding core targets.Results:The results identified 10 active components of Xiefei Lishui Prescription, and 8 potential active components were screened using network pharmacology for the treatment of heart failure with Xiefei Lishui Prescription, corresponding to 160 related action targets. A total of 1 305 disease-related targets were collected, and a total of 51 targets ad 17 core targets were included in the string database for protein interaction analysis. GO functional enrichment and KEGG analysis indicated that the mechanism of Xiefei Lishui Prescription in treating heart failure may be related to pathways such as protein binding, ATP binding, and negative regulation of the VEGF signaling pathway and T cell receptor pathway during apoptosis. The molecular docking results showed that baicalin exhibited good binding activity with ESR1, sorghum isoflavones with ESR1, and quercetin with AKT1, EGFR, IL2, and ABCB1.Conclusion:Xiefei Lishui Prescription may exert therapeutic effects on heart failure through multiple pathways by targeting ESR1, AKT1, EGFR, and other targets.

This paper explained the etiology and mechanism of atrial fibrillation based on the theory of "deficiency qi stagnation" for directing the treatment. It is believed that “deficiency qi” is the root of atrial fibrillation, which can be divided into deficiency of pectoral qi in heart and lungs of the upper jiao, deficiency of center qi in spleen and stomach of the middle jiao, and deficiency of original qi in kidney of the lower jiao, and stagnation of stasis, phlegm dampness, cold dampness and other pathogenic qi as the pathological basis of atrial fibrillation, which lead to the development of atrial fibrillation by constraint to heat, or stagnation of cold and dampness, or pathogens stagnation in heart and lung. The therapeutic principles is to supplement deficiency and remove stagnation, and Qingliang Buqi Tiaomai Decoction (清凉补气调脉汤) is often used to supplement the center and boost qi, rectify qi and unblock vessels; Qingliang Huashi Tiaomai Decoction (清凉化湿调脉汤) is often used to strengthen the middle and remove phlegm, dry dampness and unblock vessels; Ziyang Wenhua Tiaomai Decoction (滋养温化调脉汤) is often used to bank up original qi, supplement yin and tonify yang, dissipate cold and unblock vessels.

Coronary microcirculation disorder after myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) is a prominent problem in the treatment of coronary heart disease. According to the physiological commonality between “collaterals-sweat pore qi and fluid” and coronary microcirculation, and the evolution of the course of MIR, it is believed that “heart collateral stasis obstruction, sweat pore constraint and block” is the cause of coronary microcirculation disorder. The evolution of the pathogenesis can be divided into three periods. During the myocardial ischemia period, the pathogenesis is heart collaterals obstruction and sweat pores empty, while during the ischemia reperfusion period, it is internal formulation of deficiency wind, spasms of collaterals or slight heart collaterals obstruction; in the coronary microcirculation disorder period, sweat pores constraint and block, constraint transforming into heat, qi and fluid failing to diffuse are the pathogenesis. The corresponding treatment principle is assisting dredge with supplementation, and supplementing deficiency to dispel stasis; treating wind and blood simultaneously, and extinguishing wind to arrest convulsion; clearing heat and cooling blood, and diffusing qi and unblocking qi and fluid. Moreover, it is recommended to treat the heart and lungs simultaneously, and regulate the heart and liver at the same time.

ObjectiveTo review the ancient and modern literature of Huanglian Ejiaotang and learn about the historical evolution and clinical application, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the modern application of the classical prescription. MethodLiterature in the Chinese Medical Classics Database was retrieved with "Huanglian Ejiaotang" as the keyword. In China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and PubMed, "Huanglian Ejiaotang" in Chinese and English was used as the keyword to retrieve literature. The items and modern clinical application studies related to the prescription, medicine, dosage, syndrome, and treatment of Huanglian Ejiaotang were selected and recorded. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screen out literature. The information about the dynasty, book title, function, and indication was integrated to understand the history, evolution, and clinical application of Huanglian Ejiaotang. ResultFinally, 89 ancient books were included with 111 items. Huanglian Ejiaotang was initially recorded in ZHANG Zhongjing's Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases in the Han dynasty. It was composed of five herbs, namely Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Asini Corii Colla, and egg yolk. With the change of historical dynasties, the composition, origin basis, dosage, and preparation method of Huanglian Ejiaotang all changed, but the changes in the processing were not obvious, which was basically consistent with Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases. In addition, 48 studies were included to analyze the clinical application of Huanglian Ejiaotang, which was mainly used for insomnia, anxiety, depression, diabetes, and so on. ConclusionAccording to the ancient and modern literature, the origin basis, dosage, processing, decoction, administration, and other content of Huanglian Ejiaotang are consistent with Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases. The present clinical application has expanded the usage scale of the ancient record, which promotes the innovation and development of the classic prescription and provides references for later research, development, and accurate application.
