ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of Poge Jiuxin decoction (PGJXD) on fluid resuscitation in septic shock patients and its effects on vascular endothelial function based on clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and network pharmacology, and to reveal its molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways through network pharmacology. MethodsSeventy-two septic shock patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group (36 cases each) through a random number table. Both groups received conventional Western medical treatment for sepsis. Additionally, the treatment group received PGJXD (100 mL, twice daily) for 3 consecutive days. The two groups were compared in terms of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, vascular endothelial function indicators [endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), nitric oxide (NO), and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α)], inflammation indicators [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and procalcitonin (PCT)], perfusion indicators [mean arterial pressure (MAP), lactate (Lac), and 72-hour lactate clearance rate (Lcr)], fluid resuscitation target achievement time, vasopressor use duration, length of hospital stay, and 28-day mortality. Databases including TCMSP, HIT 2.0, and Uniprot were searched for active components of PGJXD and their targets. Gene targets for septic shock were obtained from GeneCards, OMIM, and DrugBank databases. Venny software was used to identify common targets between PGJXD and septic shock. Cytoscape software and the STRING database were utilized to construct a "drug-component-target-disease" network and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and molecular docking were performed to explore the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of PGJXD in treating septic shock. ResultsFive patients withdrew from the treatment group and seven from the control group. After treatment, both groups showed decreases (P<0.01) in APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, EDRF, 6-keto-PGF1α, TNF-α, IL-6, NF-κB, PCT, MAP, and Lac, and increases in NO (P<0.01). The treatment group exhibited more significant decreases (P<0.05, P<0.01) in APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, 6-keto-PGF1α, TNF-α, IL-6, NF-κB, MAP, Lac, Lcr, fluid resuscitation target achievement time, and vasopressor use duration than the control group. Differences in EDRF, NO, PCT, length of hospital stay, and 28-day mortality were not statistically significant. No significant adverse reactions were observed in either group during treatment. Network pharmacology identified 189 components and 257 potential targets of PGJXD, and 136 common targets shared by PGJXD and septic shock. GO enrichment analysis primarily involved positive regulation of cell migration, response to peptide, response to inorganic substance, etc. KEGG enrichment analysis mainly implicated signaling pathways such as NF-κB, VEGF, and Relaxin. ConclusionPGJXD can significantly ameliorate the condition of septic shock patients and enhance the efficacy of fluid resuscitation. Its key mechanism may involve protecting vascular endothelial cells by regulating the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the prognostic significance of follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) and FLIPI2 in Chinese FL patients for better prognostic model.Methods 63 newly diagnosed FL patients who received rituximab plus CHOP (cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine and prednisone)-like chemotherapy from January 2003 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed according to FLIPI and FLIPI2 scoring system.Results According to FLIPI,31 patients (49.2 %) were stratified into the low risk group (0-1 point),24 (38.1%) into the intermediate risk group (2 points),and 8 (12.7 %) into the high risk group (3-5 points).As for FLIPI2 scoring,17 cases (27.0 %) were classified in low risk group (0 point),42 cases (68.3 %) in intermediate risk group (1-2 points),and 4 cases in high risk group (3-5 points).The overall response rates and 2-year progression free survival (PFS) rates of the three risk groups were 93.5 % (29/31),91.7 % (22/24),75.0 % (6/8) (P =0.27),and 85.7 %,75.2 %,58.8 % (Log-rank =1.063,P =0.59) respectively in FLIPI.In terms of FLIPI2,the overall response rates and 2-year PFS rates of the three groups were 100.0 % (17/17),90.7 % (39/42),50.0 % (2/4) (P =0.01) and 92.9 %,74.0 %,33.3 % (Log-rank =7.075,P =0.03).Conclusion FLIPI2 presents more robust prognostic significance than FLIPI in disease progression perspective for FL patients treated with R-CHOP like regimens in this study.

Objective To investigate the effect of microcireulation blood flow and altering immunity by Chuanxiongqin,ulinastain and thymosin α1 on sepsis patients.Methods 90 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=30),namely ICU group,Chuanxiongqin group,ulinastain and thymosin α1 group.HLA-DR/CD14+and IL-6,TNF-α,Lac,DD were measured.Results (1)DD showed no significant difference at every time point between ICU group and ulinastain+thymosin α1 group(P>0.05).DD decreased in Chuanxiongqin group,and was significantly different from the others on the third day.(2)Lac unchanged significantly at every time point in ICU group(P>0.05).Lac in Chuanxiongqin group and ulinastain+thymeain α1 group tended to decrease,and was statistically different from ICU group on the second day.(3)IL-6 and TNF-α tended to increase at every time point in ICU group(P<0.05).In ulinastain+thymosin α1 group,IL-6 and TNF-α returned to the level before treatment,HLA-DR/(D14+increased significantly,and was higher than Chuanxiongqin group and ICU group statistically.Conclusion Chuanxiongqin could ameliorate circulation;ulinastsin and thymosin α1 could depress IL-6,TNF-α.So ulinastain and thymosin α1 might protect the immunity of sepsis patients.
