ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically review the marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating chronic gastritis (CG) in China. By analyzing their variety characteristics and prescription patterns, it seeks to provide references for clinical syndrome differentiation-based drug selection, treatment method optimization, and the design of high-quality clinical research. MethodsInformation on marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG was collected. Microsoft Excel software was used to collate and statistically analyze representative drugs for each pathological stage, market status, syndrome types, and other contents. The Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform (V2.3.9) was employed to analyze the formula composition patterns of standardized prescriptions. ResultsA total of 141 marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG in China were included. Based on the disease's pathological progression, they can be classified into drugs for non-atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, and precancerous lesions. Post-marketing research reveals that relevant evaluation is only conducted on 17 drugs, of which 2 involve pharmacoeconomic studies and 14 possess standardized evidence-based evidence. The primary dosage forms were capsules, granules, and tablets. From the 100 prescriptions screened according to inclusion/exclusion criteria, the varieties indicated for the stomach collateral stasis syndrome in atrophic gastritis accounted for the highest proportion. The main efficacy distributions were clearing heat, detoxifying, and relieving pain by promoting Qi circulation. Core drugs included Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizome, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Aucklandiae Radix. Medicinal properties were predominantly warm and neutral. Flavors were mainly bitter, pungent, and sweet. The drugs primarily entered the spleen and stomach meridians. Analysis of the package inserts reveals that 67 products list "contraindications", 110 include "precautions", and 23 explicitly state "adverse reactions". ConclusionTraditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG hold unique value in clinical practice. However, currently there are challenges such as insufficient clarity in syndrome type descriptions within package inserts and a relative lack of high-level evidence-based medical evidence, as well as pharmacoeconomic evaluations. Future efforts should focus on addressing these shortcomings by advancing research on syndrome characteristics and medication patterns based on syndrome differentiation, systematically conducting pharmacoeconomic evaluations, strengthening the accumulation of high-level evidence-based evidence, and, on this basis, improving patient medication adherence. This will comprehensively enhance the clinical application value and scientific connotation of this category of drugs.

ObjectiveTo systematically collate the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and analyze the characteristics of clinical trials and the current situation of outcome indicators, thus providing references for constructing a core outcome set (COS) for CKD. MethodsThe RCTs on the intervention of TCM in CKD were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, and Web of Science with the time interval from January 2022 to December 2024. The risk of bias was evaluated, and the outcome indicators were qualitatively analyzed. ResultsA total of 242 RCTs were included, which reported 238 outcome indicators, with the cumulative frequency of 2 724 times. These outcome indicators can be classified into seven domains: TCM syndromes and diseases (270 times, accounting for 9.90%), symptoms and signs (218 times, 8.00%), physical and chemical examinations (1 609 times, 59.07%), quality of life (29 times, 1.06%), long-term prognosis (6 times, 0.22%), economic evaluation (0 times), and safety events (535 times, 19.64%). The results demonstrated that the RCTs of TCM intervention for CKD had several shortcomings such as the lack of a basis for sample size estimation, lack of standardization in TCM syndrome differentiation and classification, room for improvement in methodological quality, flaws in the design of the timing of efficacy measurement, absence of long-term prognosis evaluation, imbalance in the selection of surrogate and endpoint indicators, disconnection between overall evaluation and individualized assessment, lack of TCM characteristic indicators, and insufficient reporting of safety indicators. ConclusionAt present, the design of outcome indicators in the RCTs for TCM intervention in CKD is still not standardized. It is recommended that future research endeavors to enhance methodological quality, establish a standardized COS for TCM intervention in CKD, and thereby propel the high-quality development of TCM.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the intervention effect of Renqing Mangjue on the malignant transformation of gastric mucosal epithelial cells induced by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and to explore its molecular mechanism in preventing precancerous lesions of gastric cancer based on the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/protein kinase G (PKG)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. MethodsHuman gastric mucosal epithelial cells (GES-1) were initially induced by MNNG to establish a precancerous cell model (MC cells). The effective concentration of MNNG for inducing malignant transformation in GES-1 cells was screened using the cell proliferation activity decection (CCK-8) assay, and the effective concentration of Renqing Mangjue for inhibiting the proliferation of transformed GES-1 cells was also determined. GES-1 cells were divided into a blank control group, a model group, and treatment groups with Renqing Mangjue at concentrations of 1, 3, 10, and 30 mg·L-1. Furthermore, the effects of Renqing Mangjue on the migratory ability and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics of GES-1 malignant transformed cells were evaluated using Transwell migration assays, wound healing assays, and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Additionally, candidate chemical components and target sites of Renqing Mangjue were obtained from the TCMIP v2.0 database, and disease targets at various stages of gastric cancer precursors were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using the Metascape database to predict the potential mechanisms of action of Renqing Mangjue. Finally, the protective mechanism of Renqing Mangjue against gastric cancer precursors was validated through Western blot analysis. ResultsAt a concentration of 20 μmol·L-1, MNNG exhibited an inhibition rate of approximately 50% on GES-1 cells (P<0.01), and at this concentration, the GES-1 cells displayed biological characteristics indicative of malignant transformation. In contrast, Renqing Mangjue had no significant effect on the proliferation of normal GES-1 cells, but significantly inhibited the proliferation of MC cells (P<0.01) and markedly reduced their migratory capacity (P<0.01). Moreover, it also increased the mRNA expression level of E-cadherin during the EMT process (P<0.05), while inhibiting the expression of both N-cadherin and the transcription factor Snail mRNA (P<0.05, P<0.01). Network predictions suggested that Renqing Mangjue may prevent gastric cancer precursors through modulating the cGMP/PKG and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways. Furthermore, Western blot results indicated that Renqing Mangjue upregulated the expression of PKG and NPRB (B-type natriuretic peptide receptor) proteins in the cGMP/PKG pathway (P<0.01), while downregulating the expression of the downstream proteins MEK and ERK (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionIn summary, Renqing Mangjue can prevent gastric cancer precursors by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of malignant transformed GES-1 cells, thereby delaying the EMT process. The underlying mechanisms may be related to the activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway and the inhibition of the MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop a risk prediction model for the transformation of chronic atrophic gastritis to high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome patterns.
METHODS:
Clinical data of 201 chronic atrophic gastritis patients who visited the Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dong'erhuan Branch between January 2022 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 32 patients with HGIN (HGIN group) and 169 patients with moderate and severe chronic atrophic gastritis (non-HGIN group). The information of demographic characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, social and psychosocial factors, family history of tumors, medical history and comorbidities, long-term medication, endoscopic findings, histopathological examination results, as well as TCM syndrome types were collected. Potential HGIN risk factors were screened using LASSO regression, and the significant risk factors for establishing an HGIN risk prediction model were identified using logistic regression analysis. The final model was visually presented using a nomogram, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
RESULTS:
Spleen-stomach Qi deficiency was the most common TCM syndrome in both HGIN and non-HGIN groups. LASSO-logistic regression model analysis showed that heavy alcohol consumption (X1), syndrome of static blood in stomach collaterals (X2), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (X3), high-salt diet (X4), and age (X5) were independent risk factors related to the occurrence of HGIN, and the predictive model was ln[P/(1-P)]=2.159X1+2.230X2+1.664X3+2.070X4+0.122X5- 11.096. The model demonstrated good discriminative ability, calibration, and goodness-of-fit, with area under the curve values of 0.940 and 0.891 in the training and validation sets, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The TCM syndrome of static blood in stomach collaterals shows correlation with the transformation from chronic atrophic gastritis to HGIN. The HGIN prediction model based on TCM syndrome patterns developed in the study demonstrates potential value in clinical application.

ObjectiveTo systematically and objectively characterize the pharmacological effects of Fufang Biejia Ruangan pills (FBRP) in the intervention of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) using acute and chronic ALD mouse models and to elucidate its molecular mechanisms. MethodFifty SPF-grade male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, and FBRP low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (9.6, 19.2, 38.4 mg·kg-1). Except for the normal group, the remaining groups were given 56° white wine by gavage to establish the acute ALD model, with samples collected after 4 weeks. Thirty SPF-grade male C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, and FBRP medium-dose group (19.2 mg·kg-1). The chronic ALD mouse model was established using the Lieber-DeCarli method over a 10-week period. Inflammatory markers in liver tissues were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Sirius Red, oil red O staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Intoxication behaviors of each group were objectively evaluated through sobering-up time, net-catching, and pole-climbing tests. Further bioinformatics analyses based on clinical transcriptomic data were conducted to identify key targets and molecular mechanisms of FBRP in alleviating ALD through liver-brain dialogue, with experimental validation by ELISA, Western blot, and immunohistochemical staining. ResultCompared with the normal group, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in liver tissues of mice in the acute and chronic ALD model groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of AST and ALT in liver tissue of mice in FBRP groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the time of grasping the net and climbing the pole in the acute ALD model group was significantly decreased within 4 weeks (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the grasping and climbing time of FBRP high dose groups increased significantly within 4 weeks (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the expression of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) protein in liver tissue and prefrontal lobe tissue of mice in the chronic ALD model group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of HMGB1 protein in FBRP medium dose group was significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein and the release of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the prefrontal cortex of the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of BDNF protein and the release of GABA in the FBRP medium dose group were significantly increased (P<0.05). ConclusionThis study revealed that FBRP improved key pathological changes in ALD by modulating liver-brain dialogue mediated by the HMGB1-BDNF axis. These findings provide experimental evidence for the clinical use of FBRP in treating ALD and offer new insights for the development of ALD therapeutic agents.
