To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of Reduning Injection in the treatment of acute tracheal-bronchitis.Four Chinese databases( CNKI,VIP,Wan Fang,Sino Med) and three English databases( Cochrane Library,Medline,Web of Science) were systematically and comprehensively retrieved. The retrieval time was from the establishment of each database to April 2019.Randomized controlled trials( RCTs) for the treatment of acute tracheal-bronchitis with Reduning Injection were collected. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening,data extraction and risk assessment for bias. Rev Man 5.3 software was used for data analysis. Fourteen studies were included,and the total sample size was 1 652 at last. Meta-analysis results show that in the aspect of total clinical effective rate,Reduning Injection was superior to ribavirin( RR = 1. 37,95%CI[1. 28,1. 47],P<0. 000 01); Reduning Injection combined with conventional therapy was better than conventional therapy alone( RR = 1. 14,95% CI[1. 09,1. 19],P <0. 000 01); Reduning Injection combined with azithromycin was better than azithromycin therapy alone( RR = 1. 21,95% CI[1. 07,1. 37],P = 0. 002). In the aspect of clinical symptoms,the time in average fever disappearance of Reduning Injection therapy was shorter than that of ribavirin therapy( MD =-1.68,95%CI[-1. 72,-1. 49],P<0. 000 01); the time in cough disappearance of Reduning Injection therapy was shorter than that of ribavirin therapy( MD =-2. 57,95%CI[-2. 91,-2. 24],P<0. 000 01); the time in lung rales disappearance,Reduning Injection therapy was superior to ribavirin therapy( MD =-2. 26,95% CI[-2. 71,-1. 80],P<0. 000 01),and Reduning Injection combined with conventional therapy was superior to conventional therapy( MD =-1. 77,95% CI[-1. 95,-1. 59],P<0. 000 01). Based on the findings,Reduning Injection can improve the total effective rate,reduce the average time of disappearance in fever,cough and lung rales,with mild adverse reactions and a low incidence. However,the quality of the literatures included is not high,it is necessary to adopt large-sample-size,rigorously designed clinical trial protocols in line with the international standards,in a bid to improve the quality of evidence.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease and an important health concern. Western medicine and therapies are the main treatment strategies for psoriasis vulgaris (PV); however, the overall prognosis of patients with PV is still poor. Therefore, PV prevention is especially crucial. Chinese medicine (CM) has a long history of treating psoriasis, and it has unique wisdom in different cognitive angles and treatment modes from modern medicine. In this review, we first summarized the herbs and ancient CM formulas that have therapeutic effects on PV. Second, the research status and obstacles to the current development of CM in modern medicine were reviewed. Finally, the future of CM in the context of precision medicine and integrated medicine was discussed. After a detailed reading of the abundant literature, we believe that CM, through thousands of years of continuous development and clinical practice, has achieved high effectiveness and safety for PV treatment, despite its surrounding controversy. Moreover, precise analyses and systematic research methods have provided new approaches for the modernization of CM in the future. The treatment of PV with CM is worth popularizing, and we hope it can benefit more patients.

Prediction on pharmacodynamic action of categorized formulas is presented with the theory of support vector regression (SVR) in this paper. A prediction model of pharmacodynamic action of categorized formulas based on SVR was set up in order to predict the law of the compatibility of the categorized formulas. Pharmacodynamic action of various categorized formulas could be predicted based on this model. It is very significient to optimize the compatibility of categorized formulas and clinical practice. This model was applied to the research of the law of compatibility in three categorized formulas for tonifying kidney yang which contains shenqi pill, yougui pill and yougui drink. As indicated in the model prediction, pharmacodynamic actions of several compatibilities of the categorized formulas are superior to that of the three original formulas for tonifying kidney yang.

8.Drug design ideas and methods of Chinese herb prescriptions.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(17):3413-3415
The new drug of Chinese herbal prescription, which is the best carrier for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of Chinese medicine and is the main form of the new drug research and development, plays a very important role in the new drug research and development. Although there are many sources of the prescriptions, whether it can become a new drug, the necessity, rationality and science of the prescriptions are the key to develop the new drug. In this article, aiming at the key issues in prescriptions design, the source, classification, composition design of new drug of Chinese herbal prescriptions are discussed, and provide a useful reference for research and development of new drugs.
