Objective: To investigate the mechanism of action of Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (POG) to improve cholesterol metabolism in osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes based on the long noncoding RNA nuclear-enriched transcript 1 (lncRNA NEAT1)/microRNA-128-3p (miR-128-3p) pathway. Methods: For in vivo experiments, 60 mice were divided into the normal, sham operation, model, and POG groups using the random number table method, with 15 mice per group. The osteoarthritis mouse model was constructed using the modified Hulth method in the model and POG groups. Mice in the POG group were administered 30 mg/(kg·d)POG by gavage. The other groups were administered an equal amount of normal saline for 8 weeks. The cartilage tissue structure of mice in each group was observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Real-time PCR was used to detect changes in the lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-128-3p mRNA expression levels in the cartilage tissues of mice. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), liver X receptor β (LXRβ), matrix metalloprotein-3 (MMP-3), and B-lymphoblastoma-2-associated X protein (Bax) in articular cartilage of mice. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) content in the synovial fluid of mice. A biochemical microplate assay was used to measure the total cholesterol level in the synovial fluid of mice. The in vitro experiments were divided into the negative control, interleukin-1β(IL-1β), IL-1β+ POG, IL-1β+ oe-lncRNA NEAT1, IL-1β+ oe-lncRNA NEAT1 + POG, IL-1β + miR-128-3p inhibition, and IL-1β+ miR-128-3p inhibition+ POG groups. An OA model was established by inducing chondrocytes with IL-1β for 24 h, and 90 mg/L of POG and miR-128-3p inhibitor(50 nmol/L) were administered for 48 h as an intervention. lncRNA NEAT1 expression in chondrocytes was detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization. A dual luciferase assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-128-3p. Lentiviral plasmids overexpressing lncRNA NEAT1 were used to transfect mouse chondrocytes. Real-time PCR was used to detect the effect of lncRNA NEAT1 overexpression on the mRNA level of miR-128-3p in chondrocytes. Western blotting was used to detect ABCA1, LXRβ, MMP-3, and Bax protein expression in chondrocytes after lncRNA NEAT1 overexpression and miR-128-3p inhibition. Results: POG significantly reduced OA cartilage tissue damage. Compared with the model group, the lncRNA NEAT1 mRNA level decreased, whereas the miR-128-3p mRNA level increased in the cartilage tissue of the POG group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, ABCA1 and LXRβ protein expression increased in the POG group, whereas MMP-3 and Bax protein expression decreased (P<0.05). The TNF-α levels decreased in the POG group compared to the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the total cholesterol level in the synovial fluid of the joint of mice in the POG group decreased (P<0.05). The mean fluorescence intensity of lncRNA NEAT1 in the IL-1β+ POG group decreased compared with the IL-1β group (P<0.05). The relative luciferase activity in the miR-128-3p mimics group bound to the lncRNA NEAT1-WT plasmid decreased compared with the miR-128-3p negative control group (P<0.05). The lncRNA NEAT1 mRNA levels decreased, whereas the miR-128-3p mRNA levels increased in the IL-1β+ oe-lncRNA NEAT1 + POG group compared with the IL-1β+ oe-lncRNA NEAT1 group (P<0.05). Compared with the IL-1β+ POG group, ABCA1 and LXRβ protein expression decreased, whereas MMP-3 and Bax protein expression increased (P<0.05). Conclusion POG mediates lncRNA NEAT1/miR-128-3p to improve cholesterol metabolism in OA chondrocytes.

ObjectiveTo systematically organize the relevant research on the treatment of uterine fibroids with Xiaojie'an capsules through clinical evidence evaluation and comprehensive value analysis in the "6+1" dimension，highlighting the efficacy and characteristics of Xiaojie'an capsules. MethodsBased on evidence-based medicine，epidemiology，pharmacoeconomics，health technology assessment （HTA）， and other methodologies，this study adopted qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods. Through a questionnaire survey，official website data information，published literature， and secondary evaluation of real world data，a total of "6+1" dimensions were used to build an evaluation system for the safety，effectiveness，economy，innovation，suitability，accessibility of Chinese patent medicines， and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicines. Results① Safety：From January 2009 to March 2023，the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center reported 159 cases （248 cases） of general adverse reactions and four cases of serious adverse reactions to Xiaojie'an capsules，all of which were classified as general adverse reactions after expert judgment. Through literature search，a total of 6 865 patients were treated with Xiaojie'an capsules，of which 26 articles reported adverse reactions to Xiaojie'an capsules，resulting in a total of 244 adverse reactions. The clinical manifestations of adverse reactions to Xiaojie'an capsules include nausea，vomiting，stomach discomfort，diarrhea，rash，itching，dizziness，headache，insomnia，etc. The prognosis was good， and the drug surveillance system was sound. Based on the evaluation of known risks and sufficient evidence，in terms of known risk assessment， according to the monitoring results of the spontaneous reporting system （SRS）， there were four cases of serious adverse reactions to Xiaojie'an capsules. After expert discussion， the four cases of serious adverse reactions were finally judged as general adverse reactions， and the known risks were considered to be small in combination with the known risk evaluation criteria. According to the types of studies carried out on Xiaojie'an capsules （randomized controlled trial and its systematic review， SRS data analysis， real world human experience studies， and non-clinical safety studies） and the evaluation criteria of sufficient evidence， it was considered that Xiaojie'an capsules had sufficient evidence. The safety evidence of this variety was sufficient， and the result was confirmed. ② Effectiveness： Meta-analysis results showed that the combination of Xiaojie'an capsules and Mifepristone tablets had better clinical efficacy compared to Mifepristone tablets alone and had a better effect in reducing the maximum uterine fibroid volume. Due to limitations and imprecision caused by downgrading factors，the quality of evidence was evaluated as Grade C. Based on comprehensive effectiveness evidence and value evaluation，the effectiveness evidence of this variety was relatively sufficient， and the results were clear ③ Economy：The economic evaluation results showed that treating one more patient with uterine fibroid required an additional cost of 5 438.57 yuan by using the combination of Xiaojie'an capsules and Mifepristone tablets，which was lower than the patient's willingness to pay （36 883 yuan according to 2022 National Bureau of Statistics data）. This suggested that compared with using Mifepristone tablets alone，the combination of Xiaojie'an capsules and Mifepristone tablets had a certain economy. The sensitivity analysis results were relatively robust，indicating that this variety had good economy ④ Innovation：Currently，most traditional Chinese medicine treatments for uterine fibroids advocate the method of attacking evil，which can easily harm the body. However，Xiaojie'an capsules not only soften and disperse nodules but also balance supporting the body and supplementing deficiency. The comprehensive evaluation showed sufficient evidence of the innovation of this variety，and the results were confirmed. ⑤ Suitability： The service information of Chinese patent medicines derived from the drug was complete，and the questionnaire survey results showed that the drug was suitable for clinicians，nurses，pharmacists， and patients in multiple dimensions such as individual compliance，system， and management. The comprehensive evaluation of the suitability of the product had sufficient evidence and clear results. ⑥ Accessibility：The daily cost of Xiaojie'an capsules was 16.97 yuan，and the treatment cost was 407.16 yuan. It was affordable for urban residents and rural residents and was available for sale in 23 provinces， cities，municipalities，and autonomous regions across the country. The medicinal resources were abundant and sustainably supplied，and there was sufficient evidence of accessibility with clear results. ⑦ Characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine：Xiaojie'an capsules were derived from the classic Dai medicine formula of Dr. CHEN Benshan，a renowned Dai doctor，and they have been clinically used for over 20 years. Dai medicine originated from Xishuangbanna，Yunnan province，with the core theory of "four pagodas and five elements". The comprehensive evaluation showed that this variety exhibited significant characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. ⑧ Comprehensive evaluation of clinical value：Based on the "6+1" dimensions mentioned above，combined with the multi-criteria decision analysis （MCDA） model and calculations using CSC v2.0 software，the results showed that there was sufficient evidence for the clinical value of Xiaojie'an capsules，and the results were clear. ConclusionThe comprehensive evaluation of Xiaojie'an capsules has sufficient evidence of safety and innovation，and the results are confirmed. The evidence of effectiveness，suitability，and accessibility is relatively sufficient，with clear results. The economy is good，and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine are prominent. The comprehensive evaluation of clinical value believes that there is sufficient evidence of the clinical value of Xiaojie'an capsules，and the results are clear.
