OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of evolocumab and probucol in patients with ultra-high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 156 ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients who underwent PCI in our institution between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024. According to the lipid-lowering regimen, the patients were categorized into evolocumab group ( n =86) and probucol group ( n =70). Changes in lipid parameters [total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprot ein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, lipoprotein (a), and lipid goal achievement rate ] , inflammatory markers [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) ] , and cardiac function indices (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) were compared between two groups at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. The incidence of adverse clinical events during treatment, including acute myocardial infarction, in-stent restenosis, acute heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, and stroke, was also evaluated. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups at baseline ( P >0.05). After 6 months of treatment, both groups demonstrated significant improvements in lipid profiles (except HDL-C) and inflammatory markers compared to those at baseline ( P <0.05). The evolocumab group exhibited greater reductions in TC, LDL-C, IL-6, and CRP, along with a higher lipid target achievement rate, compared with the probucol group ( P <0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the cardiac function-related indicators before and after treatment between the two groups, nor in the incidence of adverse events during the treatment ( P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS For ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients after PCI, both of the above treatment options are associated with improvements in blood lipid and inflammatory response, with good safety during short-term follow-up. Evolocumab shows superior efficacy in TC, LDL-C and inflammatory markers reduction and lipid target achievement, compared to probucol.

OBJECTIVE To screen the quality biomarkers of Gnaphalium affine with anti-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) effect and determine their contents. METHODS The effective components and targets of “G. affine” with anti- COPD effect were predicted by using network pharmacology as a search criterion. HPLC fingerprints for 10 batches of G. affine were established by using Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition); common peak identification and similarity evaluation were conducted; cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to screen differential components as quality maker that affected the quality of G. affine using variable importance projection (VIP)>1 as the standard. The same HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of the differential components in 10 batches of samples. RESULTS A total of 10 flavonoids (such as quercetin, luteolin, and chlorogenic acid) and organic acid components, were identified through network pharmacology search, with 91 targets closely related to anti-COPD. A total of 9 common peaks were identified in 10 batches of samples, with similarity greater than 0.90. Among them, the differential components included chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 1,3-O- dicaffeoylquinic acid and apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside; S3, S4, S6, S7 and S10 were clustered into one category, S2, S5, S8 and S9 clustered into one category, and S1 clustered into one category. The contents of chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 1,3-O- dicaffeoylquinic acid, and apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside in 10 batches of G. affine ranged 0.070-7.653, 0.010-0.097, 0.001- 0.036, 0.508-6.627 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 1,3-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, apigenin 7- O-β-D-glucopyranoside can serve as the potential quality marker for the anti-COPD effect of G. affine, with the highest content of chlorogenic acid in G. affine produced in Ji’an, Jiangxi province, and the highest content of caffeic acid in G. affine produced in Ji’an, Jiangxi province and Sanming, Fujian province. The contents of the last two components are highest in G. affine produced in Chaoshan, Guangdong province.
