Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most common and critical diseases in clinical practice, with extremely high morbidity and mortality, seriously threatening human life and health. The pathogenesis of ALI is complex, in which the inflammatory response is a key factor. Studies have shown that NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes are involved in ALI through mechanisms such as inflammation induction, increased microvascular permeability, recruitment of neutrophils, oxidative stress, and pyroptosis, playing a key role in the occurrence and progression of ALI. Therefore, regulating NLRP3 inflammasomes and inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors can alleviate the damage in ALI. At present, ALI is mainly treated by mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy, which have problems such as high costs and poor prognosis. In recent years, studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can reduce the inflammatory response and the occurrence of oxidative stress and pyroptosis by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome, thus alleviating the damage and decreasing the mortality of ALI. Based on the relevant literature in recent years, this article reviews the research progress in TCM treatment of ALI by regulating NLRP3 inflammasomes, discusses how NLRP3 inflammasomes participate in ALI, and summarizes the active ingredients, extracts, and compound prescriptions of TCM that regulate NLRP3 inflammasomes, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of ALI and the development of relevant drugs.

After the compatibility of Astragali Radix and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, most of the effective components of Astragali Radix increase, and the bioavailability is improved. Compared with the application of the two drugs alone, it can enhance the effects of immune regulation, anti-tumor, diuresis, lung protection, regulation of flora, and intestinal protection. However, the optimal compatibility ratio of Astragali Radix- Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma pair to exert various pharmacological effects still needs to be clarified. The drug pair and related preparations are mostly used in the treatment of nephropathy, but its mechanism of action needs to be further elucidated.

Objective:To understand the mediating role of resourcefulness between perceived stress and depression in primary caregivers of stroke patients.Methods:The primary caregivers of 311 inpatients with stroke in three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Yinchuan from December 2020 to August 2021 were selected by convenience sampling and investigated with the general information form, Resourcefulness Scale (RS) , Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) . SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS were used to analyze the relationship between the three, and to explore the mediating role of resourcefulness between perceived stress and depression in the primary caregivers of stroke patients.Results:In this study, 311 questionnaires were distributed, 311 questionnaires were recovered, and 308 questionnaires were valid. The primary caregivers of stroke patients scored (24.98±6.38) for perceived stress, (83.98±12.85) for resourcefulness, and (44.35±8.40) for depression. Resourcefulness was negatively correlated with perceived stress and depression scores ( r=-0.313, -0.317; P <0.01) , and perceived stress was positively correlated with depression ( r=0.425, P<0.01) . The Bootstrap method further validated that resourcefulness played a partial mediating role between perceived stress and depression, and the mediating effect accounted for 14.95% of the total effect. Conclusions:Resourcefulness is a mediating variable between the perceived stress and depression of the primary caregivers of stroke patients, and resourcefulness plays a partial mediating role between perceived stress and depression.

Sijunzi decoction (SJZD) is a Chinese classical formula to treat spleen qi deficiency syndrome (SQDS) and has been widely used for thousands of years. However, the quality control (QC) standards of SJZD are insufficient. Chinmedomics has been designed to discover and verify bioactive compounds of a variety of formula rapidly. In this study, we used Chinmedomics to evaluate the SJZD's efficacy against SQDS to discover the potential quality-markers (q-markers) for QC. A total of 56 compounds in SJZD were characterized in vitro, and 23 compounds were discovered in vivo. A total of 58 biomarkers were related to SQDS, and SJZD can adjust a large proportion of marker metabolites to normal level and then regulate the metabolic profile to the health status. A total of 10 constituents were absorbed as effective ingredients that were associated with overall efficacy. We preliminarily determined malonyl-ginsenoside Rb2 and ginsenoside Ro as the q-markers of ginseng; dehydrotumulosic acid and dihydroxy lanostene-triene-21-acid as the q-markers of poria; glycyrrhizic acid, isoglabrolide, and glycyrrhetnic acid as the q-markers of licorice; and 2-atractylenolide as the q-marker of macrocephala. According to the discovery of the SJZD q-markers, we can establish the quality standard that is related to efficacy.
