Objective:
To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the intervention of early traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes after ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) intervention.
Methods:
From October 2020 to July 2023, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to include 60 patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD interventional therapy. They were assigned to the Yiqi Tongluo Decoction treatment group (30 cases) and the TCM placebo routine treatment control group (30 cases) according to the randomized block design. Both groups received routine standardized treatment of Western medicine, including dual antiplatelet, lipid regulation, and control of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. The treatment group was treated with Yiqi Tongluo Decoction based on the control group. The course of treatment was 60 days and follow-up was carried out 2 and 6 months after the operation. The improvement of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, phlegm syndrome score and TCM syndrome score, modified Rankin score (mRS), Barthel index (BI) score, Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) level, incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS) and incidence of adverse reactions, Head and neck CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were collected. The clinical efficacy of the patients 2 months after the operation was taken as the main outcome index to preliminarily evaluate the early and long-term efficacy of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction after the ICVD intervention. The early and long-term clinical efficacy and safety of Western medicine standardized treatment combined with TCM Yiqi Tongluo Decoction on patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD intervention were evaluated. The safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the treatment of patients after ICVD intervention with white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (FIB), plasminogen time (PT), recurrence of cerebral ischaemia and restenosis in patients at 2 and 6 months after treatment were evaluated.
Results:
Compared to the control group, the TCM syndrome scores for qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm syndrome in the treatment group reduced significantly, the clinical efficacy improved significantly, the mRS score and FABP4 were reduced, and the BI score was increased. Adverse events such as cerebral ischaemia were fewer in the treatment group than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant; levels of CRP, WBC and PT were reduced, and levels of FIB were reduced at 6 months post-treatment, all P<0.01, and images were intuitively compared. The treatment group was superior to the control group.
Conclusion
Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with Western medicine standard treatment can improve the early clinical efficacy of ICVD patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after interventional surgery, improve neurological impairment and daily living ability, reduce the state of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome and phlegm syndrome after interventional surgery, and improve the clinical efficacy of TCM. At the same time, it can reduce the level of FABP4, the target of atherosclerosis and restenosis after interventional surgery, reduce the level of inflammation after interventional surgery in patients with ICVD, regulate coagulation function, and reduce the incidence of long-term recurrence of cerebral ischemia after interventional surgery, with good safety.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism by which Huangqi Baijiang Yiren decoction (HBY) repairs the intestinal mucosal injury in the rat model of ulcerative colitis (UC) via the miR-21/suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)/Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) signaling pathway. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly assigned into six groups: blank, model, low-dose (3.68 g·kg-1) HBY, medium-dose (7.35 g·kg-1) HBY, high-dose (14.5 g·kg-1) HBY, and mesalazine (0.035 g·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of UC was established in other groups except the blank group by 3% dextran sulfate sodium solution. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs once a day for 7 consecutive days since the 3th day after modeling. The histopathological changes of the colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the Robarts histopathology index (RHI) was scored. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-18, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in the serum. Real-time PCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of miR-21, SOCS1, JAK1, and STAT6 in the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1, JAK1, phosphorylated (p)-JAK1, STAT6, p-STAT6, Occludin, and Claudin-1 in the colon tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed an increase in disease activity index (DAI) (P<0.01), shortening of colon length (P<0.01), severe histopathological damage in the colon tissue, and an increase in RHI, rises in serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.01), up-regulation in mRNA levels of miR-21, JAK1, and STAT6 and protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 (P<0.01), and down-regulation in mRNA and protein levels of SOCS1 and protein levels of Occludin and Claudin-1 (P<0.01). The treatment with HBY reduced the DAI (P<0.01), alleviated colon shortening and histopathological damage in the colon tissue, decreased the RHI (P<0.01), lowered the serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.01), down-regulated the mRNA levels of miR-21, JAK1, and STAT6 (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated the mRNA level of SOCS1 (P<0.05), up-regulated the protein levels of SOCS1, Occludin, and Claudin-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHBY may modulate the miR-21/SOCS1/JAK1/STAT6 signaling pathway to suppress inflammatory responses and restore the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC rats.
