BACKGROUND:Flap transplantation technique is a commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of severe tissue defects,but postoperative flap necrosis is easily triggered by ischemia-reperfusion injury.Therefore,it is still an important research topic to improve the survival rate of transplanted flaps. OBJECTIVE:To review the pathogenesis and latest treatment progress of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang Database and PubMed database were searched for relevant literature published from 2014 to 2024.The search terms used were"flap,ischemia-reperfusion injury,inflammatory response,oxidative stress,Ca2+overload,apoptosis,mesenchymal stem cells,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathways,shock wave,pretreatment"in Chinese and English.After elimination of irrelevant literature,poor quality and obsolete literature,77 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Flap ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to pathological factors such as inflammatory response,oxidative stress response,Ca2+overload,and apoptosis,which can cause apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells,vascular damage and microcirculation disorders in the flap,and eventually lead to flap necrosis.Studies have found that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathway modulators,shock waves,and pretreatment can alleviate flap ischemia/reperfusion injuries from different aspects and to varying degrees,and reduce the necrosis rate and necrosis area of the grafted flap.Although there are many therapeutic methods for skin flap ischemia/reperfusion injury,a unified and effective therapeutic method has not yet been developed in the clinic,and the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic methods have not yet been compared.Most of the studies remain in the stage of animal experiments,rarely involving clinical observations.Therefore,a lot of research is required in the future to gradually move from animal experiments to the clinic in order to better serve the clinic.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the forming process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and evaluate the quality of the granules. METHODS Taking forming rate, angle of repose, moisture, moisture absorption rate and dissolution rate as indexes, single factor experiment combined with Plackett-Burman design was adopted to screen key process parameters; analytic hierarchy process combined with entropy weight method and Box-Behnken response surface method were used to optimize the molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and the forming process was verified. The relative homogeneity index, bulk density, vibration density, Hausner ratio, angle of repose, moisture and hygroscopicity were used as secondary physical indexes to establish the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules to evaluate particle quality consistency. RESULTS The optimal molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was as follows: mannitol as the fixed excipient, the drug-assisted ratio was 1∶1(m/m) and the drying time was 1 h; 90% ethanol was used as wetting agent and the amount of it was 32%, the drying temperature was 70 ℃. The results of validation tests showed that the average comprehensive score was 97.45, which was close to the predicted value of 97.18. The similarities between the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules prepared by the optimal molding process and the reference physical fingerprint were all higher than 0.99. CONCLUSIONS The molding process is stable and feasible, and the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules produced is stable and controllable.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules. METHODS Taking high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and evaporative light scattering detection as method, the fingerprint of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was established, and similarity evaluation was performed by Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition) to determine common peaks. The common peaks were identified by comparing with reference substance chromatograms and single decoction piece chromatograms. Network pharmacology was used to screen out core targets and pathways of identified components, construct a “component-target-pathway” network diagram, and predict the pharmacodynamic components of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and the content determination of these components was carried out by the same method. RESULTS HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules were characterized with 40 common peaks, and 17 components including salvianolic acid B, astragaloside Ⅳ, notoginsenoside R1, and ginkgolide A were identified. Network pharmacology predicted that 17 components mainly acted on 97 core targets and 137 pathways to exert their pharmacological effect. Average contents of 13 bioactive components in 15 batches of samples were 0.126 8, 0.232 0, 0.073 8, 0.353 2, 3.620 2, 0.191 0, 0.333 3, 0.317 4, 0.785 0, 0.538 2, 0.460 0, 2.475 1 and 0.347 7 mg/g, including calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, rosmarinic acid, formononetin, lithospermic acid, salvianolic acid B, ononin, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rd, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, notoginsenoside R1, and astragaloside Ⅳ. CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules can reflect the overall characteristics of the preparation. The content determination method for its pharmacodynamic components, developed in combination with network pharmacology, is accurate, reliable, and exhibits good repeatability, making it suitable for evaluating the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease involving symmetrical small joints, with clinical manifestations such as small joint swelling, morning stiffness, progressive pain, and even joint deformity and loss of function. Due to the complex immune mechanism, the pathogenesis of RA remains unclear. However, studies have shown that the pathogenesis of RA is related to abnormal immune mechanism, increased synovial inflammatory response, abnormal biological behavior of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs), and abnormal degradation of extracellular matrix. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays a key role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. It is involved in the abnormal release and activation of inflammatory mediators in RA, the abnormal proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLSs, synovial angiogenesis, bone erosion, and cartilage destruction. The thousands of years of practical experience show that Chinese medicine can effectively mitigate the clinical symptoms such as joint swelling, morning stiffness, and pain and delay the occurrence of joint deformity in RA patients. Moreover, the Chinese medicine treatment has the advantages of overall regulation, personalized treatment, multiple pathways and targets, high safety, few adverse reactions, and stable quality. Modern studies have confirmed that Chinese medicine can play a role in the prevention and treatment of RA by interfering in the MAPK signaling pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting the abnormal proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLSs, regulating the apoptosis of RA-FLSs, and protecting extracellular matrix. This article elaborates on the key role of MAPK signaling pathway in the development of RA and reviews the latest research results of Chinese medicine intervention in MAPK signaling pathway for the prevention and treatment RA, aiming to provide a basis for the development of new drugs and the clinical application of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of RA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Tongxinluo capsules on the use of anti-ischemic drugs in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodA multicenter,prospective cohort study was conducted,with Tongxinluo capsules intervention as the exposure factor. Patients were divided into an exposed group (combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine) and a non-exposed group (western medicine alone),and followed up for one year. The use of anti-ischemic drugs was observed on the day of enrollment and at 3,6,12 months. ResultA total of 186 patients were enrolled,with 128 in the exposed group and 58 in the non-exposed group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. At the 3-month follow-up,the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs used in the exposed group were significantly fewer than those in the non-exposed group (P<0.01),and this difference remained statistically significant at 6 months (P<0.05) but was no longer significant at 12 months. At the 3- and 6-month follow-ups,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used. However,at the 12-month follow-up,the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used in the exposed group were significantly fewer than those in the non-exposed group (P<0.01). At the 3-month follow-up,both groups showed a reduction in the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs used compared to baseline (P<0.05),with a more pronounced reduction in the exposed group (P<0.05). At the 6-month follow-up,the exposed group showed a significant reduction in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used compared to baseline (P<0.05),while no significant changes were observed in the non-exposed group. At the 12-month follow-up,the difference in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs between the exposed and non-exposed groups was statistically significant (P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs. ConclusionTongxinluo capsules can effectively reduce the use of anti-ischemic drugs in patients with CCS of Qi deficiency and blood stasis.
