As a serious cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis (AS) causes chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in the body and poses a threat to human health. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a member of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family, and its elevated levels have been shown to contribute to AS. Lp-PLA2 is closely related to a variety of lipoproteins, and its role in promoting inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in AS is mainly achieved by hydrolyzing oxidized phosphatidylcholine (oxPC) to produce lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC). Moreover, macrophage apoptosis within plaque is promoted by localized Lp-PLA2 which also promotes plaque instability. This paper reviews those researches of Chinese medicine in treating AS via reducing Lp-PLA2 levels to guide future experimental studies and clinical applications related to AS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and mechanism of saffron floral bio-residues(SFB) in the treatment of hyperuricemia(HUA) combined with gouty arthritis(GA) in a compound compatibility setting. MethodScreening candidate control Chinese medicines for compound and SFB based on network target distance calculation and data analysis. After adaptive feeding of 80 SD rats for 7 days, 10 rats were randomly selected as the blank group, while the remaining 70 rats were intraperitoneally injected with 3% potassium oxonate and orally administered with 1% adenine for 14 consecutive days. On the 13th day, rats were injected with 2.5% sodium urate solution into the right ankle joint cavity to induce swelling of the joint capsule on the opposite side, inducing a HUA combined with GA model. At the same time, the modeling rats were randomly divided into 7 groups, including the model group, benzbromarone group(positive drug, 0.02 g·kg-1), Tongfengshu tablets group(9 g·kg-1), Tongfengshu granules group(9 g·kg-1), SFB granules group(3.6 g·kg-1), Plantaginis Semen granules group(3.6 g·kg-1), and new formula group(SFB replacing Plantaginis Semen in Tongfengshu granules, 9 g·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. Each treatment group was orally administered with the corresponding drugs according to body weight, while the control and model groups were given equal volume of distilled water by gavage once a day for 14 consecutive days. After 14 days of synchronous administration and modeling, changes in gait, ankle joint swelling and mechanical pain threshold in rats were observed, and serum uric acid, creatinine, urea nitrogen and xanthine oxidase(XOD) were measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELSIA) was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6 in rat serum, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the liver, kidney and ankle joints of rats, Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of uric acid transporter 1(URAT1), glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), organic anion transporter 1(OAT1), adenosine triphosphate(ATP) binding cassette transporter G2(ABCG2), and liver XOD proteins. ResultThrough network pharmacology analysis, Plantaginis Semen was selected as a candidate control herb, and Tongfengshu tablets was used as a compound compatibility environment to explore the efficacy of SFB in reducing blood uric acid levels and treating GA. Animal experiments showed that compared with the blank group, the gait score and joint swelling degree of the model group were significantly increased, and the mechanical pain threshold was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the gait score, joint swelling degree and mechanical pain threshold of rats in each medication group were improved to varying degrees. Biochemical indicators showed that compared with the blank group, the serum uric acid, creatinine, urea nitrogen and XOD levels of the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum uric acid and XOD levels of rats in each treatment group were significantly decreased(P<0.01). ELISA results showed that compared with the blank group, the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the benzbromarone group, Tongfengshu tablets group, Tongfengshu granules group and new formula group were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group, the expression levels of URAT1 and GLUT9 proteins in renal tissue and OXD protein in liver tissue of the model group were significantly increased, while the expression levels of renal OAT1 and ABCG2 were significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of renal URAT1 and GLUT9 in the SFB granules group, Tongfengshu granules group and new formula group were significantly decreased, while the expression levels of renal OAT1 and ABCG2 were significantly increased, and the expression of XOD protein in liver tissue was significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological analysis showed that focal infiltration of neutrophils, cell necrosis and nuclear fragmentation were observed in the liver tissue of the model group, sodium urate deposition crystals and tubular dilation appeared in renal tissue, synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration appeared in ankle joint. Compared with the model group, the abnormal degrees of liver, kidney and ankle joint tissue of rats in each treatment group were alleviated. ConclusionThe new formula of SFB replacing Plantaginis Semen has the same effect in the treatment of HUA combined with GA. This study proposes a new strategy to investigate the efficacy of new resources of Chinese medicine in a compound compatibility environment, which can provide a new demonstration for the research and development of new resources of Chinese medicine.

A precursor ion selection (PIS) based ultra high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) analytical method was used to screen the chemical components in Jiawei Dingzhi pills (JWDZP) comprehensively and rapidly. To compile the components of the compound medicine, a total of 1 921 components were found utilizing online databases and literature. After verifying the sources, unifying the component names, merging the multi-flavor attributed components, and removing the weak polar molecules, 450 components were successfully retained. The Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) was used, with a 0.1% formic acid water (A)-acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.35 mL·min-1, the column temperature was 35 ℃, and an electrospray ion source was used. Data was collected with the PIS strategy in both positive and negative ion modes. Compounds were screened through matching accurate molecular weight of the database, and identified according to MS/MS data (characteristic fragment ions and neutral loss), with comparison of reference. Some compounds were confirmed using standard products. A total of 176 compounds were screened out in the extract of JWDZP, among which 26 compounds were confirmed by standard products. These compounds include 96 components from the sovereign drug, and 34 coefflux components with low ion intensity. The PIS-UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS method established in this study can quickly and comprehensively screen the chemical components of JWDZP, which enhanced the screening rate of components with co-elution compounds of low ion intensities and provided a basis for the study of the material foundation of JWDZP.
