ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Danhe granules in treating mixed hyperlipidemia based on network pharmacology， as well as animal and cell experiments. MethodsThe active compounds and targets of Danhe granules were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine （ETCM）. Related targets for mixed hyperlipidemia were obtained from the GeneCards database. The intersecting targets were subjected to Gene Ontology （GO） functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses. A high-fat model was established in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells （HepG2） induced by palmitic acid （PA）， followed by intervention with Danhe granules to assess intracellular lipid accumulation and oxidative stress levels. A mixed hyperlipidemia rat model was also established and divided into low-， medium-， and high-dose Danhe granules groups （1.134， 2.268， and 4.536 g·kg^-1， respectively）， as well as a positive control group treated with pravastatin sodium （4.020 mg·kg^-1）. After eight weeks of intervention， serum lipid levels， inflammatory factors， oxidative stress indices， and the expression of key hepatic lipid metabolism-related proteins were determined. ResultsNetwork pharmacology identified 93 intersecting targets between Danhe granules and mixed hyperlipidemia， with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma （PPARG）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha （PPARA）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1B among the key nodes. The PPAR signaling pathway， AGE/RAGE signaling pathway， lipid metabolism， atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） were among the most significantly enriched pathways. Cellular experiments demonstrated that Danhe granules significantly reduced reactive oxygen species （ROS） and malondialdehyde （MDA） levels while increasing catalase （CAT） activity （P<0.05）， thereby alleviating intracellular lipid accumulation and triglyceride （TG） content in HepG2. In animal experiments， Danhe granules markedly decreased serum total cholesterol （TC）， TG， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） levels （P<0.05）， reduced hepatic MDA levels， and elevated superoxide dismutase （SOD） and CAT levels. Histological analysis showed alleviation of hepatic steatosis， upregulation of hepatic PPARA and lipoprotein lipase （LPL） expressions， and downregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 （SREBP1） expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionDanhe granules improve lipid metabolism disorders in mixed hyperlipidemia by reducing MDA levels， enhancing SOD and CAT activities， scavenging excessive ROS， inhibiting oxidative stress， and mitigating liver injury. The underlying mechanism may involve the upregulation of PPARA and LPL and the suppression of SREBP1 expression.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tianmeng Lingjiao Formula（天礞羚角方， TLF） as an adjunctive therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation （PAF） with phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome. MethodsNinety patients with PAF and phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome were enrolled and randomly assigned in a 2∶1 ratio to test group （60 cases） and control group （30 cases）. The control group received conventional western medicine， while the test group received TLF in addition to the conventional treatment， with one dose administered daily. The treatment course for both groups was 4 weeks. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome and the rate of atrial fibrillation （AF） conversion were compared between groups. Assessments included AF burden， frequency and duration of AF episodes， TCM syndrome scores， and European Heart Rhythm Association （EHRA） AF symptom classification before and after treatment. Safety indicators such as blood routine， urine routine， stool routine， liver function， kidney function， and electrolytes were also monitored. Adverse events were recorded. ResultsA total of 82 patients completed the study （54 in the test group and 28 in the control group）. After treatment， AF burden， the frequency and duration of AF episodes， and TCM syndrome scores were significantly reduced in both groups， and the test group showed lower indicators than the control group （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. The AF conversion rate was 25.93% （14/54） in the test group， significantly higher than 3.57% （1/28） in the control group （P＜0.05）. The total effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy was 83.33% （45/54） in the test group， which was significantly higher than 67.86% （19/28） in the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the EHRA atrial fibrillation symptom severity in the test group showed significant improvement， and the improvement in atrial fibrillation symptoms was superior to that in the control group （P＜0.01or P＜0.05）. No significant abnormalities were observed in safety indicators， and no adverse events occurred during the trial. ConclusionTLF as an adjunctive therapy can reduce AF burden， enhance the conversion rate of AF， decrease the frequency and duration of episodes， and improve clinical symptoms in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presenting with phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome， with a favorable safety profile.

Objective To compare the cost and utility of aflibercept and conbercept for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration(wetAMD),in order to provide a reference for the selection of treatment regimens from the perspective of pharmacoeconomics.Methods The incremental cost-utility ratio(ICUR)was obtained by using Markov model to simulate the survival of the two treatment regimens over the 5-year period,calculating costs and health outputs separately.Univariate sensitivity analysis was used to determine the impact of the parameter on ICUR,and probability sensitivity analysis was used to determine the influence of the uncertainty of each model parameter on the research results.One times the 2022 gross domestic product(GDP)per capita of China was used as the willingness-to-pay threshold(WTP)to judge its economy.Results Over the simulation period,the compazine regimen was significantly economical against the aflibercept regimen,with an ICUR of-1 528 840 per quality-adjusted life year(QALY),which was lower than the WTP.Univariate sensitivity analysis showed that the transition probability between mild and moderate visual status between the two regimens and the number of aflibercept injections per year were significant influencing factors of ICUR.Probabilistic sensitivity analysis pointed to a significant cost-utility advantage for conbercept at a WTP of one times GDP(probability of 65.9％),which was a more robust result.Conclusion For the treatment of wetAMD,conbercept has a cost-utility advantage compared with aflibercept.

ObjectiveIn view of the problems of large errors and poor accuracy in pulmonary function testing in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), a predictive classification model of pulmonary function in patients with AECOPD was proposed by comparing the prediction performance of different machine learning models to find the optimal model. MethodsFrom January, 2018 to February, 2020, 90 patients with different degrees of COPD from the Affiliated Suzhou Science and Technology Town Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were collected. Six machine learning model algorithms (K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, naive Bayes, decision tree and random forest) were used to establish AECOPD predictive classification models. Their area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) and accuracy were compared. Ten-fold cross-validation method was used to validate the data set. ResultsThe model based on random forest worked best in predicting and classifying AECOPD patients, with an accuracy rate of 0.844 and an AUC-ROC of 0.916. ConclusionRandom forest-based predictive model is a powerful tool for identifying patients with AECOPD, providing decision support when it is difficult to give a definitive diagnosis.
