OBJECTIVE To optimize the forming process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules， and evaluate the quality of the granules. METHODS Taking forming rate， angle of repose， moisture， moisture absorption rate and dissolution rate as indexes， single factor experiment combined with Plackett-Burman design was adopted to screen key process parameters； analytic hierarchy process combined with entropy weight method and Box-Behnken response surface method were used to optimize the molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules， and the forming process was verified. The relative homogeneity index， bulk density， vibration density， Hausner ratio， angle of repose， moisture and hygroscopicity were used as secondary physical indexes to establish the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules to evaluate particle quality consistency. RESULTS The optimal molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was as follows： mannitol as the fixed excipient， the drug-assisted ratio was 1∶1（m/m） and the drying time was 1 h； 90% ethanol was used as wetting agent and the amount of it was 32%， the drying temperature was 70 ℃. The results of validation tests showed that the average comprehensive score was 97.45， which was close to the predicted value of 97.18. The similarities between the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules prepared by the optimal molding process and the reference physical fingerprint were all higher than 0.99. CONCLUSIONS The molding process is stable and feasible， and the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules produced is stable and controllable.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules. METHODS Taking high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and evaporative light scattering detection as method， the fingerprint of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was established， and similarity evaluation was performed by Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition） to determine common peaks. The common peaks were identified by comparing with reference substance chromatograms and single decoction piece chromatograms. Network pharmacology was used to screen out core targets and pathways of identified components， construct a “component-target-pathway” network diagram， and predict the pharmacodynamic components of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules， and the content determination of these components was carried out by the same method. RESULTS HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules were characterized with 40 common peaks， and 17 components including salvianolic acid B， astragaloside Ⅳ， notoginsenoside R1， and ginkgolide A were identified. Network pharmacology predicted that 17 components mainly acted on 97 core targets and 137 pathways to exert their pharmacological effect. Average contents of 13 bioactive components in 15 batches of samples were 0.126 8， 0.232 0， 0.073 8， 0.353 2， 3.620 2， 0.191 0， 0.333 3， 0.317 4， 0.785 0， 0.538 2， 0.460 0， 2.475 1 and 0.347 7 mg/g， including calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside， rosmarinic acid， formononetin， lithospermic acid， salvianolic acid B， ononin， ginsenoside Rb1， ginsenoside Rd， ginkgolide C， ginkgolide A， ginkgolide B， notoginsenoside R1， and astragaloside Ⅳ. CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules can reflect the overall characteristics of the preparation. The content determination method for its pharmacodynamic components， developed in combination with network pharmacology， is accurate， reliable， and exhibits good repeatability， making it suitable for evaluating the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the water extraction technology for Kaixin granules. METHODS UPLC-MS/MS method was established for the simultaneous determination of ginsenoside Rg1， ginsenoside Re， ginsenoside Rb1， tenuifolin， polygalaxanthone Ⅲ and 3， 6′-disinapoyl-sucrose. An orthogonal test was designed with extraction times， extraction duration， and the volume of added water as factors. Using the contents of the aforementioned six indicator components and the extract yield as evaluation indexes， analytic hierarchy process-entropy weight method was employed to determine the combined weights of each indicator. Subsequently， process optimization and validation were conducted by integrating grey relational analysis （GRA） and back propagation （BP） neural network. RESULTS The water extraction technology optimized by the orthogonal test and GRA was 10- fold water for the first decoction and 8-fold water for the subsequent two， extracting 3 times，extracting for 1 h each time； the average comprehensive score of the validation experiment was 91.10 （RSD＝0.31%， n＝3）. The water extraction technology optimized by BP neural network was extracting 3 times with 10-fold water added each time， extracting for 1.5 h each time； the average comprehensive score of the validation experiment was 95.89 （RSD＝0.73%， n＝3）. Considering practical production requirements， the optimal water extraction technology was extraction performed three times， with 10-fold water for the first decoction and 8-fold water for the subsequent two extractions， with an extraction time of 1 h each. CONCLUSIONS The optimized water extraction technology for Kaixin granules is stable and feasible.

Objective To explore the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and total atherosclerotic burden of brain-and heart-arteries in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods This study retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with ischemic stroke of the large-artery atherosclerosis or small-artery occlusion subtypes accompanied by cervicocephalic atherosclerosis,who were admitted to the Department of Neurology,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University,between May 2023 and December 2024.General and clinical data,including age(＜60years,≥60years),sex,admission blood pressure,body mass index,history of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,ischemic stroke,symptomatic coronary artery disease,smoking,alcohol consumption,and medication use(including antiplatelet drugs,anticoagulants,lipid-lowering drugs,antidiabetic drugs,antihypertensive drugs,and β-blockers),characteristics of ischemic stroke(including the duration of onset,ischemic side[left,right,bilateral],and ischemic location[anterior circulation,posterior circulation,bilateral circulation])were collected from all patients enrolled.On the morning after admission,fasting venous blood samples were collected to measure the levels of triglycerides,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,homocysteine,fibrinogen,D-dimer,C-reactive protein,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide,creatine kinase-MB,cardiac troponin T,and myoglobin.Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 7 days after admission to evaluate cardiac function.Left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac output were recorded,and cardiac index were calculated.Upon admission,neurological impairment,disability,motor function,and balance ability were assessed using the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS),modified Rankin scale(mRS),Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA),and Berg balance scale,respectively.The Saltin-Grimby physical activity level scale was used to evaluate the intensity of habitual physical activity prior to stroke onset.Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed within 7 days after admission to assess cardiopulmonary fitness.During the test,peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak),percentage of predicted VO2peak(VO2peak%pred),and metabolic equivalent of task(MET)were recorded.Based on the minimum oxygen uptake required for independent living(15 ml/[kg·min]),VO2peak was classified into low VO2peak(＜15 ml/[kg·min])and high VO2peak(≥15 ml/[kg·min]).With VO2peak%pred＜0.60 as the cutoff,VO2peak%pred was divided into low VO2peak%pred(＜0.60)and high VO2peak%pred(≥0.60).MET were categorized into low MET(＜mean MET)and high MET(≥mean MET)according to the mean value of MET in this study population.Imaging data of cardio-cerebral arteries were obtained by simultaneous CT arteriography within 7 days after admission.Total atherosclerotic burden of brain-and heart-supplying arteries(TAB-BHAs)was used to quantitatively evaluate the overall degree of cardio-cerebral atherosclerosis.And patients were stratified into high TAB-BHAs(≥4 points)and low TAB-BHAs(＜4 points)groups.The differences in general and clinical characteristics,as well as cardiopulmonary fitness indices,were assessed among different groups of TAB-BHAs.Spearman' s correlation was used in the preliminary analysis of the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness indicators and TAB-BHAs.Multivariate Logistic regression was conducted with VO2peak,low VO2peak%pred,and low METs as independent variables,and high TAB-BHAs as the dependent variable to assess the association between cardiopulmonary fitness and TAB-BHAs.Covariates were selected through regressions stratified by age≥60 years,male,the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO),and the variables exhibit statistically significant differences between the low and high TAB-BHAs groups,respectively.Results A total of 104 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled.Among all patients enrolled,60patients(with ages ranging from 30 to 72years and a mean age of[54±11]years)met the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and were ultimately included.Amid the 60 patients,52 were male and 8 were female.There were 20 patients(33.3%)with low VO2peak,28 patients(46.7%)with low VO2peak%pred,and 31 patients(51.7%)with low MET(MET＜5.0).45 patients were classified into the low TAB-BHAs group and 15 into the high TAB-BHAs group.(1)Compared with the low TAB-BHAs group,patients in the high TAB-BHAs group were significantly older and had a higher proportion of patients aged≥60 years,they also showed significantly higher fibrinogen levels and a history of antihypertensive drug use(all P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed in other general or clinical characteristics between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Regarding cardiopulmonary fitness parameters,patients in the high TAB-BHAs group had lower VO2peak and MET levels,and higher proportions of patients with low VO2peak,low VO2peak%pred,and low MET compared with those in the low TAB-BHAs group(all P＜0.05).(2)Based on the Spearman's correlation analysis,VO2peak(r=-0.298,P=0.021),VO2peak%pred(r=-0.305,P=0.018),MET(r=-0.303,P=0.018)all exhibited negative correlations between and TAB-BHAs.(3)LASSO regression was used to identify the most pertinent variables for high TAB-BHAs,including low VO2peak,low VO2peak%pred,and fibrinogen.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was then performed with low VO2peak,low VO2peak%pred,and low MET as independent variables and high TAB-BHAs as the dependent variable.The results showed that after adjusting for age≥60 years,male,and fibrinogen,both low VO2peak(adjusted OR,4.420,95%CI 1.052-18.573,P=0.042)and low VO2peak%pred(adjusted OR,7.423,95%CI 1.411-39.046,P=0.018)were independently associated with high TAB-BHAs in ischemic stroke patients.After further adjusting for variables that differed among high and low TAB-BHAs groups(including age≥60 years,male,fibrinogen,and history of using antihypertensive drugs),multivariate Logistic regression showed that low VO2peak%pred remained independently associated with high TAB-BHAs in ischemic stroke patients(adjusted OR,6.347,95%CI 1.170-34.418,P=0.032).Conclusion Poor cardiopulmonary fitness might be associated with high degree of overall cardio-cerebral atherosclerosis,suggesting cardiorespiratory fitness as a potential correlated indicator that could provide clues for improving early screening of patients with heavy cardio-cerebral atherosclerotic burden and for exploring the underlying mechanisms.
