ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Dingchan Granule (定颤颗粒) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis. MethodsUsing a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study method, 90 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were divided into 45 cases each in the treatment group and the control group. Both groups were given conventional western medicine treatment, and the treatment group was additionally treated with Dingchan Granule, while the control group was treated with Dingchan Granule placebo, both of which were taken orally for 8 g each time twice a day. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. We compared the clinical effectiveness, the improvement of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms and the recovery rate of atrial fibrillation between the two groups. We compared the number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes, TCM symptoms score, atrial fibrillation symptom classification, 24-hour average ventricular rate, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), anxiety index, depression index before and after treatment, and evaluated the safety of the two groups. ResultsThe total clinical effectiveness rate in the treatment group was 82.22% (37/45), which was better than 60.00% (27/45) in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome effectiveness in the treatment group was 88.89% (40/45), which was better than 66.67% (30/45) in the control group (P<0.05); and the rate of atrial fibrillation regression in the treatment group was 26.67% (12/45), better than 6.67% (3/45) in the control group (P<0.05). The number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes in both groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The TCM syndrome scores of both groups after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment (P<0.01), and the scores of the treatment group was lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The severity of atrial fibrillation symptoms and the grading of atrial fibrillation symptoms in both groups after treatment were improved (P<0.01), and the degree of symptom improvement in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P<0.01). The 24-hour average ventricular rate of both groups after treatment was significantly lower (P<0.01). The PSQI, anxiety index and depression index of the treatment group were all lower than before treatment (P<0.01), while the PSQI and anxiety index of the control group were both lower than before treatment (P<0.01 or P<0.05), the PSQI, anxiety index and depression index of the treatment group being lower than those of the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). No adverse events occurred in both groups, and no abnormalities were observed in blood, urine, stool routine, liver and kidney function, and coagulation function indexes. ConclusionDingchan Granule for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome can alleviate clinical symptom, improve TCM symptom scores, increase atrial fibrillation recovery rate, stabilise the average ventricular rate, and significantly improve the quality of sleep, alleviate the anxiety and depression, with a good safety profile.

Objective:To investigate the effects of blood pressure variability (BPV), serum reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels on cognitive function in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD).Methods:A total of 133 patients with SIVD confirmed by craniocranial MRI admitted to Department of Neurology, Red Flag Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical University from October 2021 to October 2022 were selected. According to Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, they were divided into SIVD without cognitive impairment group (SIVD-NC group, n=39) and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment group (SVCI group, n=94); and 23 healthy volunteers with normal cognition who had normal brain MRI in the Physical Examination Center during the same period were chosen as control group. General data of all subjects and vascular risk factors in each group were collected, routine biochemical indexes of peripheral blood were detected, 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed, and serum ROS and SOD levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical methods were used to analyze the risk factors for cognitive impairment, correlations of independent risk factors with cognitive function, and diagnostic value of risk factors in cognitive impairment in patients with SIVD. Results:(1) Compared with control group, SIVD-NC group had significantly increased percentages of patients with hypertension history or lacunar stroke history, and significantly increased hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level ( P<0.05). Compared with control group and SIVD-NC group, patients in SVCI group had significantly older age, lower years of education, higher proportion of patients with lacunar stroke history, and increased hs-CRP level ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, SVCI group had significantly higher proportion of patients with hypertension history ( P<0.05). (2) SIVD-NC group had significantly higher ROS level than control group ( P<0.05); Compared with control group and SIVD-NC group, SVCI group had significantly increased ROS level ( P<0.05). (3) SIVD-NC group had significantly increased nighttime systolic blood pressure (nSBP) compared with control group ( P<0.05); SVCI group had significantly increased 24 h SBP, nSBP and nSBP-variable coefficient (CV) compared with control group and SIVD-NC group ( P<0.05). Compared with SIVD-NC group, SVCI group had significantly increased 24 h SBP-CV ( P<0.05). (4) The nSBP, nSBP-CV, serum hs-CRP and ROS, and lacunar stroke history were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in SIVD patients ( OR=1.096, P<0.001, 95% CI: 1.042-1.154; OR=1.231, P=0.010, 95% CI: 1.050-1.443; OR=2.303, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.311-4.039; OR=1.026, P<0.001, 95% CI: 1.014-1.039; OR=2.954, P=0.041, 95% CI: 1.045-8.348), and education level was a protective factor for that ( P<0.05). (5) Serum ROS and hs-CRP, nSBP, and nSBP-CV were negatively correlated with MoCA scores in SIVD patients ( r s=-0.336, P<0.001; r s=-0.503, P<0.001; r s=-0.204, P=0.018; r s=-0.309, P=0.001). (6) Serum ROS and hs-CRP, nSBP, and nSBP-CV had high diagnostic values in cognitive impairment in SIVD patients (areas under the curves: 0.874, 0.847, 0.804 and 0.702, P<0.05); combined diagnosis efficacy of multiple indexes was better (area under the curve: 0.948, P<0.05). Conclusion:Serum ROS and hs-CRP, nSBP and nSBP-CV are highly likely to be hemodynamic and serological monitoring indexes for screening of cognitive impairment in SIVD patients.

The surveys of the number of TCM ancient books, the bibliography classification methods, the bibliography publication, the bibliography network sharing and access, the evaluation of the classification method of subject bibliography on TCM ancient books and the relevant opinions and suggestions were sent to 30 TCM libraries and 24 comprehensive libraries in China. The questionnaires’ data and responses were analyzed, in order to understand the classification methods of TCM ancient books, the use situation, and the needs in the classification and cataloging work. The results showed that compared with the comprehensive libraries, the collection of TCM ancient books were concentrated in TCM libraries, the classification methods for TCM libraries were seldomly reported, and the classification methods were mainly self-compiled. Thus, the uniformity of the classification methods was poor, and there was also a significant gap in the standardization of the bibliography arrangement in TCM libraries. The result recommended that the domestic library industry urgently needed a unified and standardized classification for TCM ancient books. It was significant for promoting the sharing and exchange of TCM ancient books, promoting the standardization process of TCM information, and promoting the efficient implementation of Zhonghua Yizang compilation project.

Collaboration of c-KIT mutations with AML1-ETO (AE) has been demonstrated to induce t(8; 21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Targeted therapies designed to eliminate AE and c-KIT oncoproteins may facilitate effective treatment of t(8; 21) AML. Homoharringtonine (HHT) features activity against tumor cells harboring c-KIT mutations, whereas oridonin can induce t(8; 21) AML cell apoptosis and AE cleavage. Therefore, studies should explore the efficacy of combination therapy with oridonin and HHT in t(8; 21) AML. In this study, we investigated the synergistic effects and mechanism of oridonin combined with HHT in t(8; 21) AML cell line and mouse model. The two drugs synergistically inhibited cell viability and induced significant mitochondrial membrane potential loss and apoptosis. Oridonin and HHT induced significant downregulation of c-KIT and its downstream signaling pathways and promoted AE cleavage. HHT increased intracellular oridonin concentration by modulating the expressions of MRP1 and MDR1, thus enhancing the effects of oridonin. The combination of oridonin and HHT prolonged t(8; 21) leukemia mouse survival. In conclusion, oridonin and HHTexert synergistic effects against t(8; 21) leukemia in vivo and in vitro, thereby indicating that their combination may be an effective therapy for t(8; 21) leukemia.
