OBJECTIVE To analyze the current quality status and existing problems of literature on clinical comprehensive evaluation studies of Chinese patent medicines (CPMs), and to provide a reference for optimizing the research design and improving the reporting quality.METHODS Articles on clinical comprehensive evaluation of CPMs published from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2025 were systematically searched in CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database. An evaluation framework was constructed based on reporting completeness, content standardization and research transparency. The basic characteristics of the literature and the reporting information of each evaluation item were extracted item by item, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed.RESULTS A total of 107 articles were included, involving 146 CPMs. The number of articles showed an increasing trend year by year, and the research field mainly focused on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (33 articles , 30.8%). There were 99 articles evaluating a single drug and 8 articles conducting horizontal comparison among multiple drugs. The reporting of abstract sections and evaluation result items such as safety and effectiveness were relatively sufficient, with reporting rates mostly above 98%. However, the reporting rates of items such as guideline recommendations (59.8%), the dimension of traditional Chinese medicine characteristics (64.5%) and conflict of interest statements (39.3%) were relatively low, and the reporting of process items such as evidence collection, evidence synthesis and quality control was also insufficient (69.2%-76.6%).CONCLUSIONS The existing literature on clinical comprehensive evaluation of CPMs have initially formed a framework centered on the “6+1” dimensions, and the reporting of core evaluation contents is relatively complete. However, deficiencies remain in the presentation of guideline evidence and the disclosure of conflicts of interest, and the structured expression of the traditional Chinese medicine characteristic dimension also needs to be improved. In the future, reporting transparency, methodological reproducibility should be further strengthened, and the scope of application should be clearly defined, so as to enhance the value of evaluation results in informing clinical and policy decision-making.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the salt-processing technology for Anemarrhena asphodeloides. METHODS Taking soaking time, stir-frying temperature, and stir-frying time as factors, Box-Behnken response surface methodology was employed to optimize the salt-processing technology of A. asphodeloides using the contents of mangiferin, neomangiferin, isomangiferin, timosaponin BⅡ, timosaponin AⅢ, timosaponin BⅢ, total flavonoids, and total saponins as evaluation indicators. The entropy weight method was applied to determine the weight of each indicator and calculate the comprehensive score. Based on the 17 sets of Box-Behnken response surface methodology results, a genetic algorithm (GA)-back propagation (BP) neural network was used to further optimize the salt-processing technology, with soaking time, stir-frying temperature, and stir-frying time as input layers and the comprehensive score as the output layer. The salt-processing parameters obtained from the two methods were validated and compared to determine the optimal salt-processing technology for A. asphodeloides. RESULTS The optimal salt-processing conditions obtained via the Box-Behnken response surface methodology were as follows: soaking time of 23 min, stir-frying temperature of 160 ℃ , and stir-frying time of 12 min, yielding a comprehensive score of 63.370 2. The GA-BP neural network optimization resulted in the following conditions: soaking time of 24 min, stir-frying temperature of 163 ℃, and stir-frying time of 12 min, with a comprehensive score of 65.163 8. The GA-BP neural network optimization outperformed the results obtained by Box-Behnken response surface methodology. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully optimized the salt-processing technology for A. asphodeloides. Specifically, the technology involves adding 15 mL of 0.1 g/mL saline solution to 50 g of the herbal slices, allowing them to moisten for 24 minutes, and then stir-frying at 163 ℃ for 12 minutes.

In acute lung injury, two subsets of lung macrophages exist in the alveoli: tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (MDMs).However, it is unclear whether these 2 subsets of macrophages have different functions and characteristics during the recovery phase. RNA-sequencing of AMs and MDMs from the recovery period of LPS-induced lung injury mice revealed their differences in proliferation, cell death, phagocytosis, inflammation and tissue repair. Using flow cytometry, we found that AMs showed a higher ability to proliferate, whereas MDMs expressed a larger amount of cell death. We also compared the ability of phagocytosing apoptotic cells and activating adaptive immunity and found that AMs have a stronger ability to phagocytose, while MDMs are the cells that activate lymphocytes during the resolving phase. By testing surface markers, we found that MDMs were more prone to the M1 phenotype, but expressed a higher level of pro-repairing genes. Finally, analysis of a publicly available set of single-cell RNA-sequencing data on bronchoalveolar lavage cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection validated the double-sided role of MDMs. Blockade of inflammatory MDM recruitment using CCR2 −/− mice effectively attenuates lung injury. Therefore, AMs and MDMs exhibited large differences during recovery. AMs are long-lived M2-like tissue-resident macrophages that have a strong ability to proliferate and phagocytose. MDMs are a paradoxical group of macrophages that promote the repair of tissue damage despite being strongly pro-inflammatory early in infection, and they may undergo cell death as inflammation fades. Preventing the massive recruitment of inflammatory MDMs or promoting their transition to pro-repairing phenotype may be a new direction for the treatment of acute lung injury.
