α-sanshool Possesses Protective Potentials on H2O2-Stimulated PC12 Cells by Suppression of Oxidative Stress-Induced Apoptosis through Regulation of PI3K/Akt Signal Pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"Zanthoxylum bungeanum pericarp is a commonly used herbal medicine in China with effects of anti-inflammatory and analgesic, improving learning and memory ability, while hydroxy- α -sanshool (HAS) is the most important active ingredient of Z. bungeanum pericarps. The purpose of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of HAS and its related possible mechanisms using a H 2 O 2 -stimulated PC12 cell model. CCK-8 assay results showed that HAS had a significant protective effect on H 2 O 2 -stimulated PC12 cells without obvious cytotoxicity on normal PC12 cells. Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscope (DAPI staining and DCFH-DA staining) indicated that HAS could reduce the H 2 O 2 -induced apoptosis in PC12 cells via reduction of intracellular ROS and increase of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Subsequently, results of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) determination suggested that HAS could increase the enzyme activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px whereas it could decrease the MDA contents in H 2 O 2 -stimulated PC12 cells. Furthermore, the western blotting assays showed that HAS could upregulate the expressions of p-PI3k, Akt, p-Akt, and Bcl-2, while it could downregulate the expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax in H 2 O 2 -stimulated PC12 cells. Collectively, it could be concluded according to our results that HAS possesses protective potentials on H 2 O 2 -stimulated PC12 cells through suppression of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis via regulation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/3481758","authors":["Ruo-Lan Li","Qing Zhang","Jia Liu","Jia-yi Sun","Li-Ying He","Hu-Xinyue Duan","Wei Peng","Chun-Jie Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-09T23:40:34Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1155/2020/3481758","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00210-024-03453-5","name":"RETRACTED ARTICLE: Effect of Danhong\n injection on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in rats","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00210-024-03453-5","authors":["Weihong Yin","Jiao Li","Zhaoyang Han","Siwen Wang","Fan Wu","Chao Yu","Xueying Yan","Mingyu Cui"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-01T01:25:08Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1007/s00210-024-03453-5","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60163-6","name":"Cultural interpretation on Xiang thinking of Traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60163-6","authors":["Jialing Mao","Chen Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-09-12T05:48:12Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60163-6","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/gscm.0000000000000006","name":"From evidence-based traditional Chinese medicine to digital-intelligent traditional Chinese medicine: a focus on standards evaluating the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"The difficulty in defining the ambiguous “natural language” within the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the dynamic evaluation and individual differences of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, as well as “hard-to-quantify” characteristics of subjectiveness in the evaluation of treatment efficacy during the treatment, has resulted in the questioning and limited use of various TCM therapies with extensive application in clinical practice, which also arises from the lack of recognized and scientific evaluation methods. The standards evaluating the clinical efficacy of TCM remain the key bottleneck restricting the modernization and internationalization of TCM. Although the concept of evidence-based medicine was introduced into the field of TCM and applied to the evaluation and exploration of the clinical efficacy of TCM, there is still a lack of systematic methodological tools for its applicability evaluation. The concept of “digital-intelligent TCM” provides a new direction for the exploration of TCM based on the scientific and technological background of the times. It is not antagonistic to evidence-based TCM; instead, it complements and prompts evidence-based TCM to jointly accelerate the standardization of the evaluation of the clinical efficacy of TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/gscm.0000000000000006","authors":["Xiaowei Zhang","Hongcai Shang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-23T09:04:19Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1097/gscm.0000000000000006","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fnagi.2022.911028","name":"Clinical Features and Potential Mechanisms Relating Neuropathological Biomarkers and Blood-Brain Barrier in Patients With Alzheimer’s Disease and Hearing Loss","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background The aim of this study was to explore clinical features and potential mechanisms relating neuropathological biomarkers and blood-brain barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and hearing loss (HL). Materials and Methods A total of 65 patients with AD were recruited and auditory function was assessed by threshold of pure tone audiometry (PTA). Patients were divided into AD with HL (AD-HL) and AD with no HL (AD-nHL) groups based on the standard of World Health Organization. Clinical symptoms were assessed by multiple rating scales. The levels of neuropathological biomarkers of β amyloid1-42 (Aβ 1–42 ) and multiple phosphorylated tau (P-tau), and BBB factors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), receptor of advanced glycation end products, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 were measured. Results (1) Compared with AD-nHL group, AD-HL group had significantly impaired overall cognitive function and cognitive domains of memory, language, attention, execution, and activities of daily living (ADL) reflected by the scores of rating scales ( P < 0.05). PTA threshold was significantly correlated with the impairments of overall cognitive function and cognitive domains of memory and language, and ADL in patients with AD ( P < 0.05). (2) P-tau (S199) level was significantly increased in CSF from AD-HL group ( P < 0.05), and was significantly and positively correlated with PTA threshold in patients with AD. (3) MMP-3 level was significantly elevated in CSF from AD-HL group ( P < 0.05), and was significantly and positively correlated with PTA threshold in patients with AD ( P < 0.05). (4) In AD-HL group, P-tau (S199) level was significantly and positively correlated with the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-3 in CSF ( P < 0.05). Conclusion AD-HL patients have severely compromised overall cognitive function, multiple cognitive domains, and ADL. The potential mechanisms of AD-HL involve elevations of AD neuropathological biomarker of P-tau (S199) and BBB factor of MMP-3, and close correlations between P-tau (S199) and MMP-2/MMP-3 in CSF. Findings from this investigation highly suggest significance of early evaluation of HL for delaying AD progression, and indicate new directions of drug development by inhibiting neuropathological biomarkers of AD and protecting BBB.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2022.911028","authors":["Wei-jiao Zhang","Dan-ning Li","Teng-hong Lian","Peng Guo","Ya-nan Zhang","Jing-hui Li","Hui-ying Guan","Ming-yue He","Wen-jing Zhang","Wei-jia Zhang","Dong-mei Luo","Xiao-min Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-16T13:20:32Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.3389/fnagi.2022.911028","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2020/4239207","name":"Preparation and Characterization of PEG4000 Palmitate/PEG8000 Palmitate-Solid Dispersion Containing the Poorly Water-Soluble Drug Andrographolide","source":"crossref","abstract":"Solid dispersion (SD) is the effective approach to improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of class II drugs with low water solubility and high tissue permeability in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System.

We prepared SDs containing the poorly water-soluble drug AG by the freeze-drying method. The SDs were manufactured from two different polymers, PEG4000 palmitate and PEG8000 palmitate. The physicochemical properties of the AG-SDs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dissolution testing, and so on. We found that AG-PEG4000 palmitate-SD and AG-PEG8000 palmitate-SD were similar in the surface morphology, specific surface area, and pore volume. Compared with the AG-PEG4000 palmitate-SD, the intermolecular interaction between PEG8000 palmitate and AG was stronger, and the thermal stability of AG-PEG8000 palmitate-SD was better. In the meanwhile, the AG relative crystallinity was lower and the AG dissolution rate was faster in AG-PEG8000 palmitate-SD.

Baicalin (BA) is the main effective constituent isolated from the Chinese medical herb Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, and studies have proved that it has a protective effect on ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) due to the anti-inflammatory efficacy. However, BA has low solubility which may limit its clinical application. Hence, we prepared a novel drug delivery system—Baicalin liposome (BA-LP) in previous research—which can improve some physical properties of BA. Therefore, we aimed to explore the effect of BA-LP on ALI mice induced by LPS. In pharmacokinetics study, the values of t 1 / 2 and AUC0- t in the BA-LP group were significantly higher than that of the BA group in normal mice, indicating that BA-LP could prolong the duration time in vivo of BA. The BA-LP group also showed a higher concentration in lung tissues than the BA group. Pharmacodynamics studies showed that BA-LP had a better effect than the BA group at the same dosage on reducing the W/D ratio, alleviating the lung injury score, and decreasing the proinflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β) and total proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF). In addition, the therapeutic effects of BA-LP showed a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis indicated that the anti-inflammatory action of BA could be attributed to the inhibition of the TLR4-NFκBp65 and JNK-ERK signaling pathways. These results suggest that BA-LP could be a valuable therapeutic candidate in the treatment of ALI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/8414062","authors":["Yu Long","Yan Xiang","Songyu Liu","Yulu Zhang","Jinyan Wan","Qiyue Yang","Mingquan Cui","Zhimin Ci","Nan Li","Wei Peng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-11-12T02:06:22Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1155/2020/8414062","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12906-023-04297-x","name":"Effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on remifentanil dosage during craniotomy aneurysm clipping: a prospective, randomized controlled study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Craniotomy aneurysm clipping is one of the main treatments for intracranial aneurysm (IA). Endotracheal intubation and intraoperative operation may induce dramatic hemodynamic fluctuations and increase the risk of aneurysm rupture. Intraoperative high-dose opioid use is the main measure to reduce the intraoperative stress response, but it increases the incidence of complications such as postoperative vomiting and delayed awakening. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) stimulates β-endorphin expression levels and reduces opioid requirements. In this study, we aimed to assess the effects of TEAS on remifentanil dosage and oxidative stress (OS) in craniotomy aneurysm clipping. Method Forty-two patients with craniotomy aneurysm clipping were randomized into two groups: the TEAS group (T group) and the sham TEAS group (S group). “Hegu” (LI4), “Neiguan” (PC6) and “Zusanli” points (ST36) were selected, and a “HANS” percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulator was used for intervention 30 min before anesthesia induction until the end of the operation. The primary outcome was intraoperative remifentanil dosage. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative propofol dosage, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) 5 min before the TEAS intervention (T 0 ), 5 min before head holder pinning (T 1 ), immediately after pinning (T 2 ), 5 min before craniotomy (T 3 ), immediately after craniotomy (T 4 ), at craniotomy (T 5 ), and at the end of surgery (T 6 ), as well as serum β-endorphin levels at T 1 , T 2 and T 6 and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100β, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels at T 1 , T 2 and 24 h after surgery (T 7 ). Results The dosage of remifentanil in the T group was reduced compared to that in the S group ( P < 0.05). At T 2 , T 4 and T 5 , the MAP and HR in the T group were lower than those in the S group ( P < 0.05). At T 2 and T 7 , the levels of NSE, S100β and MDA in group T were lower than those in group S ( P < 0.05), while the SOD levels in group T were higher than those in group S ( P < 0.05). Conclusions The use of TEAS can reduce the dosage of remifentanil and reduce hemodynamic fluctuations during craniotomy aneurysm clipping. It reduces the occurrence of OS and central nervous system damage during surgery and has a certain brain protective effect.

We analyzed the levels of lncRNA and miRNA transcripts involved in the ceRNA regulatory network targeting the gene TLR4, and verified the targeting interactions within the lncRNA/miRNA/TLR4 mRNA axis. We employed lentiviral transfection techniques to construct overexpression and knockdown vectors for multiple lncRNA/miRNA/TLR4 mRNA interactions. Changes in the protein levels of lncRNA, miRNA, and TLR4 mRNA were assessed to evaluate their effects on the proliferation and apoptotic regulation of vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Additionally, we constructed a TLR4-siRNA expression vector to assess the effects of electroacupuncture on the transcription levels of the lncRNA/miRNA/TLR4 mRNA axis in the cerebral cortex of MCAO mice. Results: (1) A dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the targeting relationship within the lncRNA/miRNA/TLR4 mRNA axis. (2) Bioinformatics analysis revealed that genes, such as WNT1, HIF1A, Netrin1, Malat1, and S1P were significantly upregulated, while TLR4, KLF4, and HEY1 were significantly downregulated. Upregulated genes mainly involved Wnt signaling pathways, while downregulated genes were primarily associated with Notch signaling pathways and neural cell apoptosis. (3) Overexpression of Malat1 promoted VEC proliferation and significantly increased TLR4 expression, along with the secretion of downstream cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β. (4) lncRNA Malat1 promoted TMBIM1 expression, mediating TLR4 degradation and affecting the levels of downstream factors, with miRNA-182-5p identified as the interacting miRNA associated with TLR4. Conclusion: After ischemia-reperfusion, the expression of Malat1 was significantly positively correlated with TLR 4 levels, suggesting their synergistic role in neuroinflammatory","url":"https://doi.org/10.70702/bdb/ynws1822","authors":["Jiao Liu","Kebing Zheng","Xuejiao Su","Yanzhen Zhang","Chong Sun","Mengrui Zhang","Shaoping Chen","Chao Liang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-23T08:39:57Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.70702/bdb/ynws1822","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-88555-7","name":"Survival and risk factors for metastatic colorectal cancer patients with a history of prior malignancy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-88555-7","authors":["Yiwen Qiu","Nida Cao","Dan Meng","Jian Yuan","Yingjie Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-03T07:59:54Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-88555-7","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60062-3","name":"Recent Advances of HIV/AIDS Treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine in China","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60062-3","authors":["Jian WANG","Wen ZOU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-12-15T09:17:26Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60062-3","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12672-026-04854-z","name":"Additive anti-tumor and immunomodulatory effects of Sporoderm-removed Ganoderma lucidum spore powder and anti-PD-L1 antibody in lung cancer mice","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12672-026-04854-z","authors":["Qiong Wang","Xiaorong Zheng","Zengyu Zhang","Min Hao","Jianwei Jiang","Junfei Li","Hongyan Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-21T08:54:55Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1007/s12672-026-04854-z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60115-6","name":"Understanding association of spleen system with earth on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60115-6","authors":["Xiaoyuan Yang","Chunhua Jia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-17T06:16:30Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60115-6","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ph17111507","name":"The Therapeutic Management of Chemical and Herbal Medications on Uric Acid Levels and Gout: Modern and Traditional Wisdom","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Gout is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by elevated uric acid levels in the blood, which can precipitate acute gout attacks in individuals with genetic susceptibility, existing medical conditions, and dietary influences. Genetic predispositions, comorbid medical conditions, nutritional choices, and environmental factors increasingly recognize the multifactorial etiology of the disease. Methods: Recent research has highlighted the potential of phytochemicals, particularly flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, to manage hyperuricemia (HUA) and its associated complications. Results: Plant’s natural compounds have garnered attention for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and uric acid-lowering properties, suggesting their role in alternative and complementary medicine. Phytochemicals have demonstrated promise in mitigating gout symptoms and potentially modifying the disease course by addressing different aspects of hyperuricemia and inflammation. Herbal remedies, with their complex phytochemical profiles, offer a unique advantage by potentially complementing conventional pharmacological treatments. The integration of herbal therapies with standard medications could lead to enhanced therapeutic outcomes through synergistic effects, optimizing disease management, and improving patient quality of life. Conclusions: This review examines the current understanding of the multifaceted etiology of gout, explores the role of phytochemicals in managing hyperuricemia, and discusses the potential benefits of combining herbal remedies with conventional treatments to improve patient care and therapeutic efficacy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph17111507","authors":["Zhijian Lin","Jeetendra Kumar Gupta","Mohsin Maqbool","Krishan Kumar","Ayushi Sharma","Nitin Wahi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-11T03:52:07Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.3390/ph17111507","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2015/646872","name":"Effect of Acupuncture on Functional Connectivity of Anterior Cingulate Cortex for Bell’s Palsy Patients with Different Clinical Duration","source":"crossref","abstract":"Acupuncture is widely used in the treatment of Bell’s palsy (BP) in many countries, but its underlying physiological mechanism remained controversial.

Chronic insomnia is a major public health problem, but there are limited effective therapies. Jiawei Suanzaoren Decoction (JW‐SZRD) has been used as an alternative option for treating insomnia. This study aimed to investigate the long‐term efficacy and safety of JW‐SZRD in combination with lorazepam for chronic insomnia. Methods . A total of 207 participants were analyzed in this study. The treatment group (TG) received JW‐SZRD and lorazepam orally, and the control group (CG) received lorazepam alone. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Self‐Rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Somatic Self‐rating Scale (SSS) were evaluated at baseline, weeks 4, 8, and 12. The MOS 36‐item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36) was assessed at baseline and week 12. Adverse effects (AEs) were evaluated by the Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS). Results . Both TG and CG showed obvious improvements in the sleep onset latency (SOL) ( P = 0.001 and 0.005) and total sleep time (TST) ( P = 0.0001 and 0.001). However, TG was more effective than CG at weeks 8 ( P = 0.02 for SOL, P = 0.008 for TST) and 12 ( P = 0.03 for SOL, P = 0.04 for TST), especially in shortening SOL (Cohen’s d = 1.28). The ISI reduction rate in TG was higher than that in CG at weeks 4, 8, and 12 ( P = 0.008, 0.001 and 0.001). After treatment, TG had lower SAS scores ( P = 0.0001, 0.007), less somatic symptoms ( P < 0.05 or 0.01), higher SF‐36 scores ( P < 0.05 or 0.01), better compliance ( P = 0.0001), and less adverse effects ( P < 0.05 or 0.01) than those in CG. Conclusion . The combination of JW‐SZRD with lorazepam can significantly improve sleep quality with fewer AEs.

There are six centers taking part in this randomized, controlled, parallel trial. A total of 216 patients with menopausal obesity will be randomly divided into two equal groups: the “moxibustion for harmonization of Yin and Yang” group and the gentle moxibustion group. A 12-week study period with moxibustion will be preceded by a 1-week baseline, followed by a 12-week follow-up. We will conduct an interim analysis to determine whether or not the treatment is efficacious and safe after 216 participants have completed a 12-week treatment period. Evaluations will be conducted at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24. The main outcome is waist circumference (WC), and the rate of WC reduction will be compared to the baseline. An intention-to-treat analysis will be performed with a two-sided P value of <0.05 considered significant. Participants who withdraw from the trial will be analyzed according to the intention-to-treat formula (ITT). Discussion. These results will be used to support selecting the right moxibustion prescription and guiding the improvement of clinical efficacy. This trial will provide convincing evidence of moxibustion’s effectiveness and safety in the treatment of obesity by “moxibustion for harmonization of Yin and Yang,” which will be conducive to the promotion and clinical application of the theory of “moxibustion for harmonization of Yin and Yang.” Trial Registration.

However, hepatotoxicity caused by oral genipin raises concerns about its safety. To obtain novel derivatives with low toxicity and efficacy, we synthesized methylgenipin (MG), a new compound, using structural modification, and investigated the safety of MG administration. The results showed that the LD50 of oral MG was higher than 1000 mg/kg, no mice died or were poisoned during the experiment in the treatment group, and there was no significant difference in biochemical parameters and liver pathological sections compared with the control. Importantly, MG (100 mg/kg/d) treatment for 7 days reduced alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced increases in liver index, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and total bilirubin (TBIL) levels. Histopathology demonstrated that MG could treat ANIT-induced cholestasis. In addition, using proteomics to investigate the molecular mechanism of MG in the treatment of a liver injury may be related to enhancing antioxidant function. Kit validation showed that ANIT induced an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels, while the MG pretreatments, both of which were significantly reversed to some extent, suggested that MG may alleviate ANIT-induced hepatotoxicity by enhancing endogenous antioxidant enzymes and inhibiting oxidative stress injury.

However, nothing is known about its underlying mechanisms, effective components, and possible targets. To employ several methodologies to initially investigate the possible targets and therapeutic mechanisms of QJSXP in the treatment of ITP. Methods Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) identified the principal chemical elements of QJSXP and assessed its probable active components based on ADME characteristics. The research incorporated multidimensional databases to pinpoint probable targets for the active components. Key pathogenic targets linked to ITP were aggregated from several illness databases, and the STRING and Metascape tools were utilized to examine protein interaction activities and related biological processes. Mendelian randomization (MR) was then utilized to determine beneficial targets for the therapy of ITP. The potential targets, including disease targets and MR-positive targets, were found at the intersection, while risk genes were excluded by heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and Steiger analysis to ascertain the core targets. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted utilizing Schrodinger and Gromacs software to assess the binding affinity of compound-core targets. The toxicological effects of active molecules targeting critical sites were concurrently anticipated using several toxicity databases. Results A total of 67 active components and 352 potential targets were discovered in QJSXP, of which 77 were associated with ITP disease targets. Through MR analysis, a total of 12 core genes were identified. Binding scores below − 4.25 kcal/mol constituted 82.0%; docking scores below − 5 kcal/mol represented 60.1%, with an average binding energy of -5.44 kcal/mol. The majority of targets demonstrated strong binding affinity with the components. Toxicity prediction initially highlighted potential hazards, including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, establishing a foundation for future clinical surveillance. Conclusion This study has preliminarily identified the active constituents, associated pathways, and possible targets of QJSXP in the treatment of ITP, offering insights for additional experimental validation of QJSXP’s mechanism of action in ITP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s41065-025-00620-3","authors":["Yujue Wang","Chengyan Liu","Xiaoqi Sun","Weijie Zhang","Hailin Chen","Wenwei Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-06T07:57:23Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1186/s41065-025-00620-3","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/9781118313367.ch2","name":"Chemomics of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118313367.ch2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-05-21T15:22:52Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1002/9781118313367.ch2","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12876-025-04323-x","name":"Ustekinumab trough concentrations predict clinical remission in perianal fistulizing crohn’s disease: a real-world retrospective cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-025-04323-x","authors":["Xiaoyu Liu","Yuehua Yan","Jiaqin Yi","Dongmei Luo","Jun Geng","Huixian Huang","Jingjing Wang","Yunfei Gu","Bolin Yang","Yuxia Gong","Hao Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-10T07:25:50Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1186/s12876-025-04323-x","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12889-022-14403-2","name":"Global, regional, and national burden of disease study of atrial fibrillation/flutter, 1990–2019: results from a global burden of disease study, 2019","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Data from the Global Burden of Disease, Injury, and Risk Factor Study 2019 (GBD 2019) was used to assess the burden and change in prevalence, incidence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years, and risk factors for atrial fibrillation/flutter in 204 countries and territories between 1990 and 2019. Methods Incidence, prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and their age-standardized rates of AF/AFL were analyzed by age, sex, socio-demographic index (SDI), and human development index (HDI) using the Global Burden of Disease study 2019 (GBD2019) results，and risk factors for AF/AFL (mainly high systolic blood pressure, high body-mass index, alcohol use, smoking and diet high in sodium) were differentially analyzed. Results There are 59.70 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 45.73–75.29 million) AF/AFL patients worldwide in 2019, with 4.72 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 3.64–5.96 million) new cases and 0.315 million deaths (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 0.268–0.361 million) and 8.39 million disability-adjusted years (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 6.69–10.54 million). The highest risk factor for deaths, DALYs attributable to AF/AFL in 2019 was high systolic blood pressure, high body-mass index, alcohol use, smoking, and diet high in sodium. It is estimated that between 2030 and 2034, the total incidence of male AF/ AFL will be 16.08 million, and the total number of deaths will be 1.01 million. For females, the total number of incidence is 16.85 million, and the total number of deaths is 1.49 million. Conclusions AF/AFL remains a major global public health problem, although the ASR of prevalence, incidence, and DALY at the worldwide level showed a decreasing trend from 1990 to 2019(the ASR of deaths increased slightly). However, the unfavorable trend observed in this study in countries with lower SDI suggests that current prevention and treatment strategies should be reoriented. Some countries should develop more targeted and specific strategies to prevent the increase of AF/AFL.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-14403-2","authors":["Hong Li","Xuejing Song","Yi Liang","Xue Bai","Wu-Sha Liu-Huo","Chao Tang","Wen Chen","Lizhi Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-03T05:03:07Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1186/s12889-022-14403-2","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/antiox13101179","name":"Bufotalin Induces Oxidative Stress-Mediated Apoptosis by Blocking the ITGB4/FAK/ERK Pathway in Glioblastoma","source":"crossref","abstract":"Bufotalin (BT), a major active constituent of Chansu, has been found to possess multiple pharmacological activities.

Furthermore, in vivo results were obtained to evaluate the effect of BT on tumor growth. The preliminary findings of our study demonstrate the effective inhibition of GBM cell growth and subcutaneous tumor development in mice by BT, with tolerable levels of tolerance observed. Mechanistically, BT treatment induced mitochondrial dysfunction, bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and subsequent cell apoptosis. More importantly, proteomic-based differentially expressed proteins analysis revealed a significant downregulation of integrin β4 (ITGB4) following BT treatment. Furthermore, our evidence suggested that the ITGB4/focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway involved BT-induced apoptosis. Overall, our study demonstrates the anti-GBM effects of BT and elucidates the underlying mechanism, highlighting BT as a potential therapeutic option for GBM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/antiox13101179","authors":["Junchao Tan","Guoqiang Lin","Rui Zhang","Yuting Wen","Chunying Luo","Ran Wang","Feiyun Wang","Shoujiao Peng","Jiange Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-30T03:12:28Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.3390/antiox13101179","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/epidemiology/1022","name":"Review of Saponins in Treating Heart Failure","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and rich experience in treating Heart Failure (HF), with good clinical effect and little side effects.

Further research on the role of saponins in the treatment of HF found that saponins have the advantages of multi-level, multi-target and multi-channel comprehensive regulation effects, which has important research and development value in the treatment of HF. Through the analysis and summary of the related literatures on the mechanism of treating HF with saponins, it is found that saponins can improve heart function mainly by inhibiting inflammatory reaction, regulating energy metabolism disorder, resisting myocardial ischemia, inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and other ways.

Methods This retrospective cohort included laboratory-confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection from Shanghai between March 28 and May 31, 2022. Clinical characteristics, personal vaccination, and household vaccination rates were collected through electronic health records and telephone interviews. Results A total of 603 paediatric patients confirmed to have COVID-19 were included in this study. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to filter independent factors for the duration to viral RNA negative conversion. Data on the redetection of SARS-CoV-2 in the patients after they showed negative results on the RT‒PCR test (intermittent negative status) were also analysed. The median duration of virus shedding was 12 (interquartile range, IQR: 10–14) days. The severity of clinical outcome, personal vaccination-2doses, household vaccination rates, and abnormal defecation were factors indecently affecting negative conversion of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, suggesting that patients who had abnormal defecation or with more severe conditions would have delayed virological clearance, while patients who previously had 2 doses of vaccination or had higher household vaccination rates would have accelerated virological clearance. Loss of appetite (odds ratio (OR): 5.343; 95% CI: 3.307–8.632) and abnormal defecation (OR: 2.840; 95% CI: 1.736–4.645) were significantly associated with intermittent negative status.

Despite advances in surgical techniques and infection control measures, SSI remains a considerable concern for healthcare providers and patients alike. In recent years, there has been a steady increase in studies related to SSI in spine surgery, leading to the publication of numerous informative articles. However, the current state and trends of research in the field of spinal SSI remain unclear. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of SSI-related articles in spine surgery to identify research status and trends. Meanwhile, we identify the top 100 most cited articles for further analysis. Methods We searched for all articles related to spinal SSI in the Web of Science Core Collection, recording the publication year, country, journal, institution, keywords, and citation frequency for further analysis. In addition, we identified and analyzed the top 100 most cited articles. Results A total of 307 articles related to spinal SSI were identified. All of these articles were published between 2008 and 2022, with the number of publications showing an increasing trend over the years. The related articles originated from 37 countries, with the USA contributing the most ( n = 138). The institution with the highest number of publications and citations was Johns Hopkins University (14 articles; 835 citations). Among the journals, Spine had the highest number of articles ( n = 47). The prevention of spinal SSI has been a research hotspot in recent years. Among the top 100 most cited articles, the most common research theme was the risk factors associated with spinal SSI. Conclusions In recent years, research related to spinal SSI has attracted the attention of numerous clinicians and scholars. As the first bibliometric analysis of spinal SSI, our study aims to provide pragmatic guidance for clinicians to learn the research status and trends in this field and improve their vigilance toward SSI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-023-03813-6","authors":["Xun Wang","Yanze Lin","Wenchao Yao","Aiqi Zhang","Liqing Gao","Fabo

Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Osteoarthritis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation, cartilage degradation, and disrupted cellular homeostasis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely applied in OA management, and exhibits distinct therapeutic advantages due to its multi-component and multi-target pharmacological properties. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which TCM exerts therapeutic effects in OA, and offers a particular focus on the modulation of key signaling pathways involved in inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress, and cartilage metabolic balance. Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases, from their inception up to November 2025, and systematically analyzed. Evidence from experimental studies involving representative active compounds (e.g., Icariin, Geniposide, Ginsenoside Rb1, and Bilobalide) and classical formulas (such as Duhuo Jisheng Decoction, Yougui Pills, and Osteoking) indicates that TCM alleviates inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT signaling; promotes autophagy and metabolic homeostasis through regulation of the PI3K/Akt and AMPK pathways; attenuates oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 pathway; and maintains cartilage matrix equilibrium by modulating Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β/Smad, and Notch signaling. TCM therefore exerts disease-modifying effects in OA through coordinated regulation of multiple signaling pathways, which both highlights its ethnopharmacological value and supports the rational development of TCM-based therapeutic strategies for OA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x2650028x","authors":["Lu Y","Zhou H","Luo H","Hu W","Hu L","Xie J","Wu X","Li B","Zhou J","Fan S","Shan

immunometabolic modulators: traditional Chinese medicine at the crossroads of metabolism and antitumor immunity.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Background Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long been applied in oncology to “support vital Qi and eliminate pathogenic factors”, yet its place within modern immunometabolic therapy is still not clearly defined. Tumor, stromal, and immune cells are now understood to be organized around several recurrent metabolic axes, including glycolysis–lactate, mitochondrial stress and immunogenic cell death (ICD), lipid–bile-acid signaling, and redox balance. Clarifying how herb-based formulas, isolated compounds, and contemporary delivery systems influence these axes may provide a mechanistic foundation for integrating TCM into precision cancer treatment. Main body This narrative review brings together ethnopharmacological knowledge with pharmacological and mechanistic studies, omics-based profiling, and emerging nanomedicine reports that examined TCM-derived interventions with defined metabolic and immune outcomes in solid tumors. We first outline how metabolic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment (TME) shapes major immune populations, including dendritic cells (DCs), CD8⁺ T cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and NK/NKT cells. We then arrange representative herb-derived agents along four immunometabolic axes. Across Axis I–IV, multiple prescriptions and monomers have been reported to attenuate tumor glycolytic flux and lactate burden, induce mitochondrial damage and ferroptosis-linked ICD, normalize lipid–bile-acid-centered myeloid niches, and improve DC and T-cell metabolic fitness. Examples include Astragalus-based formulas, Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD), ginsenosides, berberine, licochalcone A, emodin, celastrol-Rg3 and iron-based nanoplatforms, Jianpi Jiedu and Jianpi Huayu decoctions, Compound Kushen Injection, Compound Fuling Granule, Hochu-ekki-to, Kejinyan decoction, Huaier, Ganoderma polysaccharides, Shenqi Yiqi Capsule, and polysaccharide-loaded vesicles or microneedles. Finally, we relate these axes to classical TCM doctrines such as Fuzheng Quxie , Tiaogan Hepi , and Peiben Chuzhuo , proposing a clinically oriented, syndrome-informed framework. Conclusion TCM-derived interventions can be systematically positioned along four convergent immunometabolic axes that coordinate interactions between tumors and the immune system. Considering TCM as an immunometabolic co-therapy highlights its potential to convert “cold” tumors into “hot” lesions, deepen responses to chemo-, radio- and immunotherapy, and, in some contexts, improve treatment tolerance. Future studies should emphasize rigorous mechanistic dissection, standardized and chemically defined formulations, biomarker-guided patient selection, and well-designed prospective clinical trials to translate this axis-based framework into precision integrative oncology. However, most TCM-derived immunometabolic interventions remain incompletely validated, and their translation will require axis-matched biomarkers, rigorous safety assessment, and prospective clinical validation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01448-3","authors":["Bo Zhang","Na Wang","Xiaoshan Wang","Xuerui Wang","Lihan Shang","Bingsheng Sun","Fanming Kong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01448-3","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260401.501","name":"[Distribution patterns and clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in diabetic peripheral neuropathy].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260401.501","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260401.501","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121424","name":"Application of microorganisms in fermented traditional Chinese medicine: A review.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.121424","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.121424","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/jir.s563557","name":"SIRT1 as a Key Regulator in Rheumatic Diseases: Integrating Molecular Insights with Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jir.s563557","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.2147/jir.s563557","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/jehp.jehp_1293_25","name":"Influence of the Big Five personality traits and the Wuxing of traditional Chinese medicine on depression in adolescents.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jehp.jehp_1293_25","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.4103/jehp.jehp_1293_25","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/0115672026420811260120042353","name":"Research Progress in Immunotherapy and the Impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Glioblastoma.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0115672026420811260120042353","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.2174/0115672026420811260120042353","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-026-01455-4","name":"Beyond transparency: why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) need explainable artificial intelligence (XAI).","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01455-4","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01455-4","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2026.1785275","name":"Zebrafish as a translational platform for investigating multi-organ pharmacological interactions of traditional Chinese medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2026.1785275","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1785275","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/s0192415x26500278","name":"Restoring Homeostatic Balance: Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatoid Arthritis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease with inflammation-mediated joint damage. Its pathogenesis involves synergistic impairment of multiple physiological balances, including immune cell subset dysregulation, abnormal inflammation, oxidative stress, pathological angiogenesis, bone homeostasis disorder and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Conventional therapies have high costs and adverse effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) follows a holistic balance-restoring concept and is a promising alternative, with Tripterygium wilfordii , Wutou Decoction and Toddalia asiatica extract as evidence-based representatives. This review summarizes 2020-2025 in vitro and in vivo studies on anti-RA TCM. Its core therapeutic mechanism is multi-target, network-based regulation. It rectifies various pathological imbalances simultaneously: modulating immune cell polarization, rebalancing inflammatory factors, scavenging ROS, inhibiting abnormal angiogenesis, regulating osteoblast-osteoclast crosstalk and reshaping gut microbiota. Single TCM agents act on multiple balance networks, showing complex pharmacological properties. TCM's unique advantage for RA is reestablishing the body's dynamic homeostasis by targeting interconnected pathological balances. Further research is needed to clarify TCM components' synergistic regulatory mechanisms and promote their clinical translation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x26500278","authors":["Xiang Y","Yang A","Guo C","Cheng J","Zhang J","Chen C","Chen S","Jiang J","Di J","Liu X","Li S","Liu A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x26500278","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s1875-5364(26)61200-9","name":"Modulating the gut microbiota: a multi-target mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine for type 2 diabetes management.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1875-5364(26)61200-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1016/s1875-5364(26)61200-9","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.846Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158590","name":"Bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicine for mitochondrial dysfunction-oriented nanodelivery in neurodegenerative diseases.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have shown therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), particularly through the regulation of mitochondrial function.

Biblioshiny, CiteSpace, and other software to conduct a visual atlas analysis of literature pertaining to the management of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with Chinese medicine over the previous thirty years. The goal is to clarify research advancements, pinpoint key areas of interest, and predict future trends in this field, thereby offering a theoretical foundation and guidance for further studies on managing LUAD with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods: Literature on herbal treatments for LUAD collected from the Web of Science over the past 30 years (1990–2024) was exported in plain text format. Key nodes such as authors, institutions, countries, and journals were selected using VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, and CiteSpace. This analysis facilitated the assessment of the growth of scientific research papers and identified the leading authors, institutions, countries, and journals. Furthermore, this study utilized network pharmacology to investigate the potential targets and mechanisms of action linked to the most frequently used herbal components in Chinese herbal treatments for LUAD. Results: The annual publication count in this field has risen in recent years, with China and the United States dominating the research landscape. As the most concentrated region for cooperation, Asia has established extensive networks with other countries. This trend may indicate an increasing interest in the application of TCM for LUAD treatment. Conclusion: Afatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has become a significant focus of research in LUAD treatment over the last 5 years. However, its side effects, such as diarrhea, rash, and mucositis, have raised considerable concerns. In contrast, the multi-target and multi-signal pathway strategies of TCM have increasingly attracted interest. Astragali Radix and Prunellae Spica are the most commonly used Chinese herbs in LUAD therapeutic formulas. Enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology pathways revealed that their effects on LUAD are mainly linked to the regulation of apoptosis signaling pathways, enhancement of cell migration, response to lipopolysaccharides, inhibition of cell proliferation, and promotion of phosphorylation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000049942","authors":["Jiaxin Dong","Tan Wang","Keju Wang","Jiaying Li","XinXin Tian","Wei Zhu","Yueliang Sun","Ziyuan Wang","Xiujiang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:32:43.530Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000049942","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fonc.2026.1785268","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine decoctions in breast cancer treatment: a network meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women globally.

The group admits that the two-locus barcode is far from perfect due to the low identification rate, and the search is not over. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we compared seven candidate DNA barcodes (psbA-trnH, matK, rbcL, rpoC1, ycf5, ITS2, and ITS) from medicinal plant species. Our ranking criteria included PCR amplification efficiency, differential intra- and inter-specific divergences, and the DNA barcoding gap. Our data suggest that the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA represents the most suitable region for DNA barcoding applications. Furthermore, we tested the discrimination ability of ITS2 in more than 6600 plant samples belonging to 4800 species from 753 distinct genera and found that the rate of successful identification with the ITS2 was 92.7% at the species level. CONCLUSIONS: The ITS2 region can be potentially used as a standard DNA barcode to identify medicinal plants and their closely related species. We also propose that ITS2 can serve as a novel universal barcode for the identification of a broader range of plant taxa.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0008613","authors":["Shilin Chen","Hui Yao","Jianping Han","Chang Liu","Jingyuan Song","Linchun Shi","Yingjie Zhu","Xinye Ma","Ting Gao","Xiaohui Pang","Kun Luo","Ying Li","Xiwen Li","Xiaocheng Jia","Yulin Lin","Christine Léon"],"tags":["Barcode","DNA barcoding","Biology","Internal transcribed spacer","Locus (genetics)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-01-06","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.895Z","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0008613","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.667Z"},{"id":"oa:W2136694751","name":"Medicinal plants in Mexico: healers' consensus and cultural importance","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0277-9536(98)00181-6","authors":["Michael Heinrich","Anita Ankli","Barbara Frei","Claudia Weimann","Otto Sticher"],"tags":["Indigenous","Ethnobotany","Traditional knowledge","Traditional medicine","Medicinal plants"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"1998-12-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.895Z","doi":"10.1016/s0277-9536(98","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.667Z"},{"id":"oa:W1990988407","name":"Medicinal plants of South Africa","source":"openalex","abstract":"Medicinal plants of South Africa is a guide to the most commonly utilised medicinal plants in South Africa.

However, the synthesis and accumulation of SMs are very complex, which are affected by many factors including internal developmental genetic circuits (regulated gene, enzyme) and by external environment factors (light, temperature, water, salinity, etc.). Currently, lots of literatures focused on the effect of environmental factors on the synthesis and accumulation of SMs of medicinal plants, the effect of the developmental growth and genetic factors on the synthesis and accumulation of SMs still lack systematic classification and summary. Here, we have given the review base on our previous works on the morphological development of medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites, and systematically outlined the literature reports how different environmental factors affected the synthesis and accumulation of SMs. The results of our reviews can know how developmental and environmental factors qualitatively and quantitatively influence SMs of medicinal plants and how these can be integrated as tools to quality control, as well as on the improvement of clinical curative effects by altering their genomes, and/or growth conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plaphy.2020.01.006","authors":["Yanqun Li","Dexin Kong","Ying Fu","Michael R.

It involves extraction and determination of quality and quantity of bioactive constituents before proceeding with the intended biological testing. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate various methods used in the preparation and screening of medicinal plants in our daily research. Although the extracts, bioactive fractions, or compounds obtained from medicinal plants are used for different purposes, the techniques involved in producing them are generally the same irrespective of the intended biological testing. The major stages included in acquiring quality bioactive molecule are the selection of an appropriate solvent, extraction methods, phytochemical screening procedures, fractionation methods, and identification techniques. The nitty-gritty of these methods and the exact road map followed solely depends on the research design. Solvents commonly used in extraction of medicinal plants are polar solvent (e.g., water, alcohols), intermediate polar (e.g., acetone, dichloromethane), and nonpolar (e.g., n-hexane, ether, chloroform). In general, extraction procedures include maceration, digestion, decoction, infusion, percolation, Soxhlet extraction, superficial extraction, ultrasound-assisted, and microwave-assisted extractions. Fractionation and purification of phytochemical substances are achieved through application of various chromatographic techniques such as paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Finally, compounds obtained are characterized using diverse identification techniques such as mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Subsequently, different methods described above can be grouped and discussed according to the intended biological testing to guide young researchers and make them more focused.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_175_19","authors":["AbdullahiR Abubakar","Mainul Haque"],"tags":["Chromatography","Phytochemical","Extraction (chemistry)","Maceration (sewage)","Chemistry"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.895Z","doi":"10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_175_19","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.667Z"},{"id":"oa:W2120937999","name":"Medicinal plants, conservation and livelihoods","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1023/b:bioc.0000021333.23413.42","authors":["Alan Hamilton"],"tags":["Bioprospecting","Livelihood","In situ conservation","Convention on Biological Diversity","Traditional knowledge"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2004-03-25","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.895Z","doi":"10.1023/b:bioc.0000021333.23413.42","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.667Z"},{"id":"oa:W2094769841","name":"The role and place of medicinal plants in the strategies for disease prevention","source":"openalex","abstract":"Medicinal plants have been used in healthcare since time immemorial.

A comparison is drawn between the 'whole population' and 'high-risk' strategies. The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted. The place of medicinal plants in preventing common diseases is further examined under the five core principles of the Primary Health Care (PHC) approach. Medicinal plants play vital roles in disease prevention and their promotion and use fit into all existing prevention strategies. However, conscious efforts need to be made to properly identify, recognise and position medicinal plants in the design and implementation of these strategies. These approaches present interesting and emerging perspectives in the field of medicinal plants.

Information about medicinal plants has long been transmitted gradually and from generation to generation, a human knowledge has gradually become complete with the formation of civilizations and the provision of more facilities. Medicinal plants are used as a medical resource in almost all cultures. Ensuring the safety, quality and effectiveness of medicinal plants and herbal drugs very recently became a key issue in industrialized and developing countries. By standardizing and evaluating the health of active plant-derived compounds, herbal drugs can help the emergence of a new era of the healthcare system to treat human diseases in the future. Awareness of traditional knowledge and medicinal plants can play a key role in the exploitation and discovery of natural plant resources. In order to maintain this knowledge, comprehensive approach and collaboration are needed to maintain historical records on medicinal plants and use these resources in favour of human beings, before they are destroyed forever.

Scientific and research interest is drawing its attention towards naturally-derived compounds as they are considered to have less toxic side effects compared to current treatments such as chemotherapy. The Plant Kingdom produces naturally occurring secondary metabolites which are being investigated for their anticancer activities leading to the development of new clinical drugs. With the success of these compounds that have been developed into staple drugs for cancer treatment new technologies are emerging to develop the area further. New technologies include nanoparticles for nano-medicines which aim to enhance anticancer activities of plant-derived drugs by controlling the release of the compound and investigating new methods for administration.

Some volatile essential oils of commonly used culinary herbs, spices and herbal teas have also exhibited a high level of antiviral activity. However, given the few classes of compounds investigated, most of the pharmacopoeia of compounds in medicinal plants with antiviral activity is still not known.

The roots of traditional healing practices in this region go at least as far back as the Moche period (AC 100-800). Although about 50% of the plants in use reported in the colonial period have disappeared from the popular pharmacopoeia, the plant knowledge of the population is much more extensive than in other parts of the Andean region. 510 plant species used for medicinal purposes were collected, identified and their vernacular names, traditional uses and applications recorded. The families best represented were Asteraceae with 69 species, Fabaceae (35), Lamiaceae (25), and Solanaceae (21). Euphorbiaceae had twelve species, and Apiaceae and Poaceae 11 species. The highest number of species was used for the treatment of \"magical/ritual\" ailments (207 species), followed by respiratory disorders (95), problems of the urinary tract (85), infections of female organs (66), liver ailments (61), inflammations (59), stomach problems (51) and rheumatism (45). Most of the plants used (83%) were native to Peru. Fresh plants, often collected wild, were used in two thirds of all cases, and the most common applications included the ingestion of herb decoctions or the application of plant material as poultices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-4269-2-47","authors":["Rainer W.

Since long back herbal medicines have been the highly esteemed source of medicine therefore, they have become a growing part of modern, high-tech medicine. In view of the above aspects the present review provides profiles of plants (65 species) with hypoglycaemic properties, available through literature source from various database with proper categorization according to the parts used, mode of reduction in blood glucose (insulinomimetic or insulin secretagogues activity) and active phytoconstituents having insulin mimetics activity. From the review it was suggested that, plant showing hypoglycemic potential mainly belongs to the family Leguminoseae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Asteraceae, Moraceae, Rosaceae and Araliaceae. The most active plants are Allium sativum, Gymnema sylvestre, Citrullus colocynthis, Trigonella foenum greacum, Momordica charantia and Ficus bengalensis. The review describes some new bioactive drugs and isolated compounds from plants such as roseoside, epigallocatechin gallate, beta-pyrazol-1-ylalanine, cinchonain Ib, leucocyandin 3-O-beta-d-galactosyl cellobioside, leucopelargonidin-3- O-alpha-L rhamnoside, glycyrrhetinic acid, dehydrotrametenolic acid, strictinin, isostrictinin, pedunculagin, epicatechin and christinin-A showing significant insulinomimetic and antidiabetic activity with more efficacy than conventional hypoglycaemic agents. Thus, from the review majorly, the antidiabetic activity of medicinal plants is attributed to the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarins and other constituents which show reduction in blood glucose levels.

During a decade of research semi-structured interviews of healers, collectors and sellers of medicinal plants were conducted. Bioassays were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of the plants found. The majority (83%) of the 510 species used were native to Peru. 50% of the plants used in the colonial era disappeared from the pharmacopoeia. In the markets, vendors were grouped: common and exotic plants, plants for common diseases, plants only used by healers, and plants with magical purposes. About 974 preparations with up to 29 ingredients treated 164 conditions. Nearly 65% of the medicinal flora are applied in mixtures. Antibacterial activity was confirmed in most plants used for infections. 24% aqueous extract and 76% ethanol extracts showed toxicity. Traditional methods of preparation take this into account when choosing the appropriate solvent for the preparation of a remedy. The growing demand did not increase the significant cultivation of medicinal plants. The majority represent plants collected in nature, causing doubts about the sustainability of trade.The focus of ethnobotanical studies and the participation of local stakeholders have changed a lot in recent decades. From the scientific point of view, the research has gone from simple inventories for example of mainly medicinal plants to detailed quantitative studies, often focused on all useful plants. However, the most important thing is that the research has finally moved away from colonial style research to modern ethnobotany based on the principles of the Nagoya Protocol.

However, these changes have not been the same in all Latin American countries, and there are large regional differences.The objective of this publication is to provide examples of twenty-five years of global research, describing the change of attitude and methodology during that time, highlighting the increasing role of local actors in ethnobotanical research and contributing ideas for the future development of the discipline.With this special issue of Ethnobotany Research and Applications we try to bring 20 years of research in Northern Peru to a wider audience.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32859/era.15.2.001-295","authors":["Rainer W.

Previous studies have also shown that medicinal plant polysaccharides are non-toxic and show no side effects. Based on these encouraging observations, most researches have been focusing on the isolation and identification of polysaccharides, as well as their bioactivities. A large number of bioactive polysaccharides with different structural features and biological effects from medicinal plants have been purified and characterized. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the most recent developments in physiochemical, structural features and biological activities of bioactive polysaccharides from a number of important medicinal plants, such as polysaccharides from Astragalus membranaceus, Dendrobium plants, Bupleurum, Cactus fruits, Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica sinensis (Oliv.)

Over the long period of evolution, some co-existing endophytes and their host plants have established a special relationship with one and another, which can significantly influence the formation of metabolic products in plants, then affect quality and quantity of crude drugs derived from medicinal plants. This paper will focus on the increasing knowledge of relationships between endophytic fungi and medicinal plants through reviewing of published research data obtained from the last 30 years. The analytical results indicate that the distribution and population structure of endophytes can be considerably affected by factors, such as the genetic background, age, and environmental conditions of their hosts. On the other hand, the endophytic fungi can also confer profound impacts on their host plants by enhancing their growth, increasing their fitness, strengthening their tolerances to abiotic and biotic stresses, and promoting their accumulation of secondary metabolites. All the changes are very important for the production of bioactive components in their hosts. Hence, it is essential to understand such relationships between endophytic fungi and their host medicinal plants. Such knowledge can be well exploited and applied for the production of better and more drugs from medicinal plants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2016.00906","authors":["Min Jia","Ling Chen","Hailiang Xin","Chengjian Zheng","Khalid Rahman","Ting Han","Luping Qin"],"tags":["Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense","Biology","Medicinal plants","Abiotic component","Host (biology)"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-09","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.895Z","doi":"10.3389/fmicb.2016.00906","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2160424678","name":"Medicinal plants used by traditional healers in Kancheepuram District of Tamil Nadu, India","source":"openalex","abstract":"An ethnobotanical survey was undertaken to collect information from traditional healers on the use of medicinal plants in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu during October 2003 to April 2004.

It argues that ethnomedical systems contain an anticipated, and perhaps even predictable, level of variation in the use of available remedies. Anthropologists and other researchers have used a variety of approaches to identify potentially effective plant based remedies.

Based on current knowledge, at least in the West, we know that extracts of some of these plants are useful in a crude form, i.e. Atropa belladonna Tincture as an antispasmodic, Rauvolfia serpentina roots for hypertension and as a tranquilizer, Papaver somniferum extract or tincture as an analgesic, etc. Further, we know that at least 121 chemical substances of known structure are still extracted from plants that are useful as drugs throughout the world (Anon, 1982a). A large number of plants are used in traditional medical practices, and have been for more than 3000 years, such as in Chinese Traditional Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Unani Medicine, etc., most of which probably exert therapeutic effects and would be proven as such if they were properly evaluated by Western standards. Still further, plants have been employed for centuries by primitive cultures; most of these are less likely to pass the test of modern experimental verification of efficacy. Finally, there are a large number of so-called herbal remedies, mainly sold in health food stores in developed countries, many of which remain to be verified for their real therapeutic effects. Several years ago the World Health Organization made an attempt to identify all medicinal plants that exist in the world. It was admitted that the compilation of names of medicinal plants undoubtedly contained many replicates since botanical verification was not attempted. Further, the list only provided Latin binomials and the countries where the plants were used, but excluded data indicating what the plants were used for. More than 20,000 species were included on this list.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/cbo9780511753312.005","authors":["Norman R. Farnsworth","Djaja D.

Linking Plant Biochemistry and Physiology to Human Health","source":"openalex","abstract":"The past decade has witnessed a tremendous resurgence in the interest and use of medicinal plant products, especially in North America. Surveys of plant medicinal usage by the American public have shown an increase from just about 3% of the population in 1991 to over 37% in 1998 (Brevoort, 1998). The North American market for sales of plant medicinals has climbed to about $3 billion/year (Glaser, 1999). Once the domain of health-food and specialty stores, phytomedicines have clearly re-emerged into the mainstream as evidenced by their availability for sale at a wide range of retail outlets, the extent of their advertisement in the popular media, and the recent entrance of several major pharmaceutical companies into the business of producing phytomedicinal products (Brevoort, 1998; Glaser, 1999). No doubt a major contributing factor to this great increase in phytomedicinal use in the United States has been the passing of federal legislation in 1994 (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act or “DSHEA”) that facilitated the production and marketing of phytomedicinal products (Brevoort, 1998). The past decade has also witnessed intense interest in “nutraceuticals” (or “functional foods”) in which phytochemical constituents can have long-term health promoting or medicinal qualities. Although the distinction between medicinal plants and nutraceuticals can sometimes be vague, a primary characteristic of the latter is that nutraceuticals have a nutritional role in the diet and the benefits to health may arise from long-term use as foods (i.e. chemoprevention) (Korver, 1998). In contrast, many medicinal plants exert specific medicinal actions without serving a nutritional role in the human diet and may be used in response to specific health problems over short- or long-term intervals. For many of the medicinal plants of current interest, a primary focus of research to date has been in the areas of phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, and horticulture. In the area of phytochemistry, medicinal plants have been characterized for their possible bioactive compounds, which have been separated and subjected to detailed structural analysis. Research in the pharmacognosy of medicinal plants has also involved assays of bio-activity, identification of potential modes of action, and target sites for active phytomedicinal compounds. Horticultural research on medicinal plants has focused on developing the capacity for optimal growth in cultivation. This has been especially pertinent as many medicinal plants are still harvested in the wild, and conditions for growth in cultivation have not been optimized. Wild harvesting of medicinal plants can be problematic in terms of biodiversity loss, potential variation in medicinal plant quality, and occasionally, improper plant identification with potential tragic consequences. From the perspective of plant physiology, extensive opportunities exist for basic research on medicinal plants and the study of their phytomedicinal chemical production. This review presents a discussion on some fundamental aspects of phytomedicinal chemical production by plant cells with an overview of several medicinal plants that have received considerable use and attention over the past decade. The beneficial medicinal effects of plant materials typically result from the combinations of secondary products present in the plant. That the medicinal actions of plants are unique to particular plant species or groups is consistent with this concept as the combinations of secondary products in a particular plant are often taxonomically distinct (Wink, 1999). This is in contrast to primary products, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, heme, chlorophyll, and nucleic acids, which are common to all plants and are involved in the primary metabolic processes of building and maintaining plant cells (Kaufman et al., 1999; Wink, 1999).

Antibiotics, the bedrock, and wonder drug of the 20th century have played a central role in treating infectious diseases. However, the inappropriate, irregular, and irrational uses of antibiotics have resulted in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. This has resulted in an increased interest in medicinal plants since 30-50% of current pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals are plant-derived. The question we address in this review is whether plants, which produce a rich diversity of secondary metabolites, may provide novel antibiotics to tackle MDR microbes and novel chemosensitizers to reclaim currently used antibiotics that have been rendered ineffective by the MDR microbes. Plants synthesize secondary metabolites and phytochemicals and have great potential to act as therapeutics. The main focus of this mini-review is to highlight the potential benefits of plant derived multiple compounds and the importance of phytochemicals for the development of biocompatible therapeutics. In addition, this review focuses on the diverse effects and efficacy of herbal compounds in controlling the development of MDR in microbes and hopes to inspire research into unexplored plants with a view to identify novel antibiotics for global health benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo9110258","authors":["Uttpal Anand","Nadia Jacobo‐Herrera","Ammar B.

Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS) is situated in the interior part of the Garhwal Himalayan region. The presented study was carried out in Madhmeshwar area of KWLS for the ecological status of medicinal plants and further focused on the ethnomedicinal uses of these plants in the study area. METHODS: Ecological information about ethnomedicinal plants were collected using random quadrats in a random sampling technique along an altitudinal gradient in the KWLS. Information on medicinal properties of plants encountered in the present study was generated by questionnaire survey and was also compared with relevant literature. RESULTS: A total of 152 medicinally important plant species were reported, in which 103 were found herbs, 32 shrubs and 17 were tree species which represented 123 genera of 61 families. A total of 18 plant species fell into the rare, endangered (critically endangered) and vulnerable status categories. CONCLUSION: The present study documented the traditional uses of medicinal plants, their ecological status and importance of these plants in the largest protected area of Garhwal Himalaya. This study can serve as baseline information on medicinal plants and could be helpful to further strengthen the conservation of this important resource.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-4269-9-1","authors":["Jahangeer A.

In the United States, these traditional practices are increasingly being sought after for illnesses that cannot be easily treated by allopathic medicine. More and more people are becoming interested in the knowledge maintained by traditional healers and in the diversity of medicinal plants that flourish in areas like Northern Peru. While scientific studies of medicinal plants are underway, concern has arisen over the preservation of both the large diversity of medicinal plants and the traditional knowledge of healing methods that accompanies them. To promote further conservation work, this study attempted to document the sources of the most popular and rarest medicinal plants sold in the markets of Trujillo (Mayorista and Hermelinda) and Chiclayo (Modelo and Moshoqueque), as well as to create an inventory of the plants sold in these markets, which will serve as a basis for comparison with future inventories. Individual markets and market stalls were subjected to cluster analysis based on the diversity of the medicinal plants they carry. The results show that markets were grouped based on the presence of: (1) common exotic medicinal plants; (2) plants used by laypeople for self-medication related to common ailments (\"everyday remedies\"); (3) specialized medicinal plants used by curanderos or traditional healers; and (4) highly \"specialized\" plants used for magical purposes. The plant trade in the study areas seems to correspond well with the specific health care demands from clientele in those areas. The specific market patterns of plant diversity observed in the present study represent a foundation for comparative market research in Peru and elsewhere.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-4269-3-37","authors":["Rainer W.

Plants have been used as medicines since ancient times because people thought they were safe and had benefit. Even now, 80% of the world’s population relies mostly on alternative medicine systems for their primary healthcare needs. Several kinds of secondary metabolites, also known as bioactive plant elements, are found in plants and are what give them their medical value in nature. For the growth of a greater quantity of secondary metabolites from the plants and their by-products, scientific agriculture allows the application of modern technical elements like mutation, polyploidy, and hybridization. Simple approaches are required for the cultivation, gathering, and preservation of medicinal plants in order to maintain their therapeutic potential. Alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, resins, volatile oils, and other bioactive phytochemicals are only a few examples of the phytochemicals that play a major role in the pharmacological actions of medicinal and aromatic plants. The physical environment, including sunshine, temperature, rainfall, and soil type, has a significant impact on the growth and development of medicinal plants as well as the secondary metabolites that result from those processes. The world’s most significant sources of herbal goods are medicinal plants, yet they are vanishing quickly. We stressed the need for sufficient consideration of resource management and conservation techniques for the sustainable use of medicinal plant resources, including in situ and ex situ conservation and growing approaches. We advise applying biotechnological methods (such as tissue culture, micropropagation, synthetic seed technology, and techniques based on molecular markers) to increase production and alter the potency of medicinal plants. The numerous innovations employed in farming methods are described in this article.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23880/ipcm-16000254","authors":["Nannar AR"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-26T11:44:35Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.896Z","doi":"10.23880/ipcm-16000254","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3923/rjmp.2014.258.268","name":"Evaluation for Antioxidant Activity of Artemisia sp.

farming approaches in medicinal plant cultivation: a review of techniques, benefits, and sustainability.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Main conclusion Smart farming technologies significantly enhance medicinal plant cultivation by improving yield, quality, and sustainability, while addressing traditional challenges through precision, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Medicinal plants have played a vital role in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. However, traditional cultivation methods face challenges, such as variable yield due to environmental stress and suboptimal resource use. While pharmacopeias already define strict quality parameters for medicinal plant material, smart farming technologies can further support consistency, sustainability, and efficiency in cultivation. This review critically examines the integration of smart farming technologies to optimize the biological mechanisms governing the growth and phytochemical production of medicinal plants. This paper focuses on key physiological processes including photosynthesis regulation, nutrient uptake, stress response, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis, which are directly influenced by precision irrigation, AI-driven nutrient management, and controlled-environment agriculture. Countries such as the Netherlands (80%), Japan (75%), and the USA (70%) are leading adopters, using automated greenhouses, artificial intelligence crop analytics, and drones. Key medicinal crops benefiting include Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, Panax ginseng Makino, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Ocimum sanctum L., Hypericum perforatum L., Cinnamomum verum J.Presl, and Coriandrum sativum L. Techniques, such as precision irrigation, soil health monitoring, artificial intelligence-based pest detection, controlled-environment agriculture, and drone surveillance, have shown major improvements. Empirical studies report improvements in water efficiency and phytochemical yields in these plants, with the results derived from empirical trials conducted in controlled settings. However, scalability and economic feasibility of these technologies in diverse climatic regions remain challenges. Despite these gains, barriers like high costs, limited tech literacy, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory hurdles remain. Addressing these through funding, education, and policy change is essential. Future integration of genomics and metabolomics could further boost yield, quality, and sustainability. This review advances the field by providing a comprehensive framework for adopting smart farming in medicinal plant cultivation, linking technology trends with practical outcomes and global adoption insights.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-026-04960-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:33:41.896Z","doi":"10.1007/s00425-026-04960-w","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.cub.2025.09.050","name":"The

On the assumption that herbal ingredients mainly target a molecular network to adjust the imbalance of human body, here we present a-self-developed TCM network pharmacology platform for discovering herbal formulae in a systematic manner. This platform integrates a set of network-based methods that we established previously to catch the network regulation mechanism and to identify active ingredients as well as synergistic combinations for a given herbal formula. We then provided a case study on an antirheumatoid arthritis (RA) formula, Qing-Luo-Yin (QLY), to demonstrate the usability of the platform. We revealed the target network of QLY against RA-related key processes including angiogenesis, inflammatory response, and immune response, based on which we not only predicted active and synergistic ingredients from QLY but also interpreted the combinatorial rule of this formula. These findings are either verified by the literature evidence or have the potential to guide further experiments. Therefore, such a network pharmacology strategy and platform is expected to make the systematical study of herbal formulae achievable and to make the TCM drug discovery predictable.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/456747","authors":["Bo Zhang","Xu Wang","Shao Li"],"tags":["Traditional medicine","Usability","Computer science","Traditional Chinese

Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula primarily used to treat symptoms associated with menopause in women. Usually, DBT is composed of one portion of Radix Angelicae Sinensis (RAS) and five portions of Radix Astragali (RA). Clinically, Radix Hedysari (RH) is sometimes used by TCM physicians to replace RA in DBT. In order to verity whether the chemical constituents of the DBT1 (RA:RAS = 5:1, w/w) and DBT2 (RH:RAS = 5:1, w/w) share similarities the chemical profiles of the two DBTs crude extracts and urine samples were analyzed and compared with the aid of HPLC-DAD-ESI-IT-TOF-MSn, which determines the total ion chromatogram (TIC) and multi-stage mass spectra (MSn). Then, the DBT1 and DBT2 were identified and compared on the basis of the TIC and the MSn. In the first experiment (with crude extracts), 69 compounds (C1-C69) were identified from the DBT1; 46 compounds (c1-c46) were identified from the DBT2. In the second experiment(with urine samples), 44 compounds (M1-M44) were identified from the urine samples of rats that had been administered DBT1, and 34 compounds (m1-m34) were identified from the urine samples of rats that had been administered DBT2. Identification and comparison of the chemical compositions were carried out between the DBT1 and DBT2 of the crude extracts and urine samples respectively. Our results showed that the two crude extracts of the DBTs have quite different chemical profiles. The reasons for their differences were that the special astragalosides in DBT1 and the isoflavonoid glycosides formed the malonic acid esters undergo single esterification and acetyl esters undergo acetylation in DBT1. In contrast, the urine from DBT1-treated rats strongly resembled that of DBT2-treated rats. These metabolites originate mainly from formononetin, calycosin and their related glycosides, and they were formed mainly by the metabolic process of reduction, deglycosylation, demethylation, hydrogenation and sulfation. The HPLC-DAD-ESI-IT-TOF-MSn method was successfully applied for the rapid chemical profiles evaluation of two DBTs and their related urine samples.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules19055650","authors":["Yazhou Zhang","Feng Xu","Tao Yi","Jianye Zhang","Jun Xu","Yina Tang","Xi-Chen He","Jing Liu","Hubiao Chen"],"tags":["Radix (gastropod)","Urine","Chemistry","Chromatography","High-performance liquid chromatography"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-04-30","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules19055650","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2018/6020197","name":"A Network Pharmacology-Based Approach to Investigate the Novel TCM Formula against Huntington's Disease and Validated by Support Vector Machine Model.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/6020197","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1155/2018/6020197","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4396951419","name":"Hypoglycemic TCM formulas (Huangqi-Gegen drug pair) have the potential as an Alzheimer's disease","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155723","authors":["Yang Hai","Ke Ren","Wenqian Hou","Hao-shi Cao","Ya-Rong Zhang","Zi-Mu Li","Siqi Wang","Wen‐Bin Yang","Dongling Liu"],"tags":["Disease","Drug","Pharmacology","Medicine","Internal medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-16","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155723","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2171437346","name":"KEGG for representation and analysis of molecular networks involving diseases and drugs","source":"openalex","abstract":"Most human diseases are complex multi-factorial diseases resulting from the combination of various genetic and environmental factors.

Zhang Zhong-Jing's classic work, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, has been influencing TCM practice for almost 2000 years. However, during this extended period of time in Chinese history, the Chinese weight measurement system experienced noticeable changes. This change in the weight measurement system inevitably, and perhaps even negatively, affected TCM herbal dosage determination and treatment outcome. Thus, in modern society, a full understanding of the accuracy of herbal dose selection has a critical importance in the TCM daily practice of delivering the best treatment to the patients suffering from different illnesses. In the 973 Project of the Chinese National Basic Research Program, expert consensus on classic TCM formula dose conversion has been reached based on extensive literature review and discussion on the dose-effect relationship of classic TCM formulas. One \"liang\" in classic TCM formulas is equivalent to 13.8 g. However, based on many TCM basic and clinical studies of variable herbal formula prescriptions and herbal drug preparations, the rule of one liang equals 13.8 g should be adjusted according to different disease conditions. Recommended by the committee on TCM formula dose-effect relationship of the China Association of Chinese Medicine and the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies, the following expert consensus has been reached: (i) One liang converts to 6-9 g for the severely and critically ill patients. (ii) One liang converts to 3-6 g for the patients suffering from chronic diseases. (iii) One liang converts to 1-3 g in preventive medicine. The above conversions should be used as a future TCM practice guideline. Using this recommended guideline should enhance the effectiveness of daily TCM practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x1550086x","authors":["Lin-Hua Zha","Lisha He","Fengmei Lian","Zhen Zhong","Hangyu Ji","Lipeng Xu","Xiaolin Tong"],"tags":["Medicine","Traditional Chinese medicine","Medical prescription","Traditional medicine","Alternative medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x1550086x","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2781577643","name":"Systems pharmacology analysis of synergy of TCM: an example using saffron formula","source":"openalex","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) follows the principle of formulae, in which the pharmacological activity of a single herb can be enhanced or potentiated by addition of other herbs.

Among them, 6 formulas containing Hong Qi demonstrated a better immunomodulatory effect on the dendritic cells than those containing Huang Qi. The other formulas containing Hong Qi showed an insignificantly different physiological impact from the original formulation. Therefore, based on the TCM theory and our experimental results, replacing Huang Qi with Hong Qi for a formula could be more suitable when the immunomodulatory effect or nourishing Qi is required.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1934578x221142797","authors":["Yu‐Chi Tsai","Ming‐Kuem Lin","Wen‐Huang Peng","Chih-Kai Tseng","Meng‐Shiou Lee","Bo-Cheng Yang","Wen-Te Chang"],"tags":["Radix (gastropod)","Traditional medicine","Traditional Chinese medicine","Medicine","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1177/1934578x221142797","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12906-022-03512-5","name":"Analysis of the therapeutic effect of Dimu Ningshen (TCM formula) on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder based on gut microbiota and serum metabolomics.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-022-03512-5","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1186/s12906-022-03512-5","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2884282076","name":"Administrations of Preoperative Shenmai Injection and Postoperative Shenfu Injection, Two Ginseng Containing TCM Formulas, Improve Cognitive Dysfunction in Aged Rats","source":"openalex","abstract":"Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is one of the major complications in patients who have undergone surgeries.

Secondly, we summarize the clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM formulas for IBS patients that are available in the literature (from 1998 to September 2013), in which 14 RCTs conducted of high quality were discussed in detail. Of the 14 selected trials, 12 of those concluded that TCM formulas provided superior improvement in the global symptoms of IBS patients over the placebo or conventional medicines. As well, all 14 RCTs suggested that TCM formulas have good safety and tolerability. Last but not least, we explore the pharmacological mechanisms of the anti-IBS TCM formulas available in the literature (from 1994 to September, 2013). Collectively, in combating IBS symptoms, most TCM formulas exert multi-targeting actions including the regulation of neurotransmitters and hormones in the enteric nervous system (ENS), modulation of smooth muscle motility in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, attenuation of intestinal inflammation and restoration of intestinal flora, etc. In conclusion, TCM formulas appear to be promising for IBS treatment.

Nearly 100,000 formulae have been recorded, but the working mechanisms of most remain unknown. In trying to address the possible beneficial effects of formulae with current biomedical approaches, we use Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula (RIF), which has been proven to be very effective in treating human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) as a model. The main components of RIF are realgar, Indigo naturalis, and Salvia miltiorrhiza, with tetraarsenic tetrasulfide (A), indirubin (I), and tanshinone IIA (T) as major active ingredients, respectively. Here, we report that the ATI combination yields synergy in the treatment of a murine APL model in vivo and in the induction of APL cell differentiation in vitro. ATI causes intensified ubiquitination/degradation of promyelocytic leukemia (PML)-retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) oncoprotein, stronger reprogramming of myeloid differentiation regulators, and enhanced G(1)/G(0) arrest in APL cells through hitting multiple targets compared with the effects of mono- or biagents. Furthermore, ATI intensifies the expression of Aquaglyceroporin 9 and facilitates the transportation of A into APL cells, which in turn enhances A-mediated PML-RARalpha degradation and therapeutic efficacy. Our data also indicate A as the principal component of the formula, whereas T and I serve as adjuvant ingredients. We therefore suggest that dissecting the mode of action of clinically effective formulae at the molecular, cellular, and organism levels may be a good strategy in exploring the value of traditional medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0712365105","authors":["Lan Wang","Guang‐Biao Zhou","Ping Liu","Jun-Hong Song","Yang Liang","Xiao-Jing Yan","Fang Xu","Bingshun Wang","Jian‐Hua Mao","Zhi-Xiang Shen","Sai-Juan Chen","Chen Zhu"],"tags":["Salvia miltiorrhiza","Acute promyelocytic leukemia","Cancer research","Retinoic acid","Biology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-03-14","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1073/pnas.0712365105","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2419148105","name":"[Study on the rapid and nondestructive identification of TCM formula particles by FTIR].","source":"openalex","abstract":"Formula particles made by Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) were studied systematically via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in this paper.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Proteinuria is the most important clinical characteristics of DN and an independent risk factor for disease progression of DN; reducing urine protein is the primary target of treatment strategies for DN. Liuwei Dihuang Wan Categorized Formulas (LDWCFs), a group of classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas aiming at “kidney ‐tonifying”, have been widely used in the treatment of DN.

Methods. CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, CBM, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched; 14 studies were included in the meta‐analysis. Results . The results showed that the overall efficacy of the LDWCFs in treating DN was significantly better than that of the comparators (OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.98–4.15, P <0.00001). These formulas showed better efficacy than the comparators in reducing 24‐hour urinary protein level (MD 0.12, 95% CI 0.06–0.17, P <0.0001) and in reducing urine microalbumin excretion rate (SMD 0.87, 95% CI 0.41–1.32, P <0.0002).

Modernised extraction procedures may overcome these difficulties but there is lack of clinical evidence supporting their therapeutic equivalence to traditional decoctions and their quality can often not solely be attributed to the single marker compounds that are usually used for chemical extract optimisation. As demonstrated by the example of the rather simple traditional TCM formula Danggui Buxue Tang, both the chemical composition and the biological activity of extracts resulting from traditional water decoction are influenced by details of the extraction procedure and especially involve pharmacokinetic synergism based on co-extraction. Hence, a more detailed knowledge about the traditional extracts' chemical profiles and their impact on biological activity is desirable in order to allow the development of modernised extracts that factually contain the whole range of compounds relevant for the efficacy of the traditional application. We propose that these compounds can be identified by metabolomics based on comprehensive fingerprint analysis of different extracts with known biological activity.

RESULTS: The accurate content and proportion of the major constituents in GQD were determined for the first time. A total of 230 compounds were characterized from GQD, of which four undescribed alkaloids were identified initially by their tandem mass data analyses based on mass spectral fragmentation pathways of isoquinoline alkaloids. A quantitative method was established to determine 26 representative compounds, and validated through linearity, precision, repeatability, stability, and recovery. The total content of the 26 compounds accounted for 27.81%, of which baicalin being the most abundant was up to 107.26 ± 1 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS: The present study achieved a comprehensive characterization of constituents in GQD, laying the foundation for elucidating the active components, mechanism, and the quality control of GQD, offering a valuable analytical framework for research on other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pca.3547","authors":["Zhi-Tian Peng","Chongsheng Peng","Ying Peng","Xiaobo Li"],"tags":["Chemistry","Tandem mass spectrometry","Mass spectrometry","Chromatography","Decoction"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-02","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1002/pca.3547","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W1817799409","name":"The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using Chinese medicinal plants: From pharmacology to potential molecular mechanisms","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2015.10.010","authors":["Shaowa Lü","Qiushi Wang","Guoyu Li","Shuang Sun","Yuyan Guo","Haixue Kuang"],"tags":["Rheumatoid arthritis","Medicine","Traditional medicine","Pharmacognosy","Pharmacology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-10-25","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2015.10.010","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2371323367","name":"External Alchemy and Science of TCM Formula in Song Dynasty","source":"openalex","abstract":"During Han Dynasty,the Taoism developed technologies of external(or laboratory)alchemy.Dan(elixir)in its early stage was only used by Taoist to become immortal.In the Tang Dynasty,some Taoists and a few physicians used Dan as medicine,much of which was recorded in the Dao zan(the Taoist Canon).In the Song Dynasty,more and more medical works introduced Dan.From then on,Dan became an important traditional Chinese medicine.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2371323367","authors":["Han Jishao"],"tags":["Alchemy","Taoism","Elixir (programming language)","Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"oa:W3139281761","name":"A comprehensive review of integrative pharmacology-based investigation: A paradigm shift in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"Over the past decade, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has widely embraced systems biology and its various data integration approaches to promote its modernization.

Through the mining of these clinical effective formulas by network pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis, important biologically active ingredients derived from these natural products might be discovered. As modern medicine requires a combination of multiple drugs for the treatment of complex diseases, previously clinical formulas are also combinations of various herbs according to the main causes and accompanying symptoms.

Therefore, how to rank each herb's relative importance and determine the core herbs, is the first step to assisting herb selection for active ingredients discovery. To solve this problem, we built the platform FangNet, which ranks all herbs on their relative topological importance using the PageRank algorithm, based on the constructed symptom-herb network from a collection of clinical empirical prescriptions. Three types of herb hidden knowledge, including herb importance rank, herb-herb co-occurrence, and associations to symptoms, were provided in an interactive visualization.

A TCM formula usually consists of multiple herbs to achieve the maximum treatment effects, where their interactions are believed to elicit the therapeutic effects. Despite being a fundamental component of TCM, the rationale of combining specific herb combinations remains unclear. In this study, we proposed a network-based method to quantify the interactions in herb pairs. We constructed a protein-protein interaction network for a given herb pair by retrieving the associated ingredients and protein targets, and determined multiple network-based distances including the closest, shortest, center, kernel, and separation, both at the ingredient and at the target levels. We found that the frequently used herb pairs tend to have shorter distances compared to random herb pairs, suggesting that a therapeutic herb pair is more likely to affect neighboring proteins in the human interactome. Furthermore, we found that the center distance determined at the ingredient level improves the discrimination of top-frequent herb pairs from random herb pairs, suggesting the rationale of considering the topologically important ingredients for inferring the mechanisms of action of TCM. Taken together, we have provided a network pharmacology framework to quantify the degree of herb interactions, which shall help explore the space of herb combinations more effectively to identify the synergistic compound interactions based on network topology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbab106","authors":["Yinyin Wang","Hongbin Yang","Linxiao Chen","Mohieddin Jafari","Jing Tang"],"tags":["Herb","Computer science","Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine","Artificial intelligence"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-11","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1093/bib/bbab106","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2024.118810","name":"A TCM formula assists temozolomide in anti-melanoma therapy by suppressing the STAT3 signaling pathway.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2024.118810","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2024.118810","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2370853515","name":"Research Progress on Infrared Spectroscopy in Quality Evaluation of TCM Formula Granule","source":"openalex","abstract":"This paper analyzes the research on infrared spectroscopy in quality evaluation of TCM formula granule; In-frared spectroscopy technology shows advantages in the pellet formula of Chinese medicine specificity identification and its in-herent quality evaluation etc. But there are not many research reports in this field at present.

In this study, network analysis was performed to decipher the molecular mechanisms of GSZ in the treatment of DPN. METHODS: The chemical components of the 3 herbs forming GSZ, ie, Ramulus Cinnamomi (Guizhi), Paeonia lactiflora (Shaoyao) and Rhizoma Anemarrhenae (Zhimu), were searched in Chinese medicine dictionaries, and their target proteins were identified in PubChem. DPN genes were searched in PubMed gene databases. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to build the GSZ pharmacological network and DPN molecular network. The canonical pathways between the two networks were compared to decipher the molecular mechanisms of GSZ in the treatment of DPN. RESULTS: Sixty-one protein targets for Guizhi, 31 targets for Shaoyao, 47 targets for Zhimu, as well as 23 genes related to DPN were identified and uploaded to IPA. The primary functions of the DPN molecular network were inflammatory response, metabolic disease, cellular assembly and organization. As far as the pharmacological network functions were concerned, Guizhi target proteins were involved in neurological disease, inflammatory disease, cellular growth and proliferation, cell signaling, molecular transport, and nucleic acid metabolism, Shaoyao target proteins were related to neurological disease, inflammatory disease, and Zhimu target proteins focused on cell death and survival, cellular movement, immune cell trafficking, DNA replication, recombination and repair, and cell cycle. In the three-herb combination GSZ, several new network functions were revealed, including the inflammatory response, gene expression, connective tissue development and function, endocrine system disorders, and metabolic disease. The canonical pathway comparison showed that Shaoyao focused on IL-12 signaling and production in macrophages, and Zhimu focused on TNFR2 signaling, death receptor signaling, ILK signaling, IL-17A in gastric cells, IL-6 signaling, IL-8 signaling, the role of JAK1, JAK2, and TYK2 in interferon signaling, IL-9 signaling, HMGB1 signaling, NO production and ROS production in macrophages, whereas GSZ focused aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling and apoptosis signaling in addition to those pathways induced by Guizhi, Shaoyao and Zhimu. CONCLUSION: Although each single herb can affect some DPN-related functions and pathways, GSZ exerts more effects on DPN-related functions and pathways. The effects of GSZ on aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling and apoptosis signaling pathways may be the key components of its total molecular mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/aps.2015.15","authors":["Ning Zhao","Jian Li","Li Li","Xuyan Niu","Miao Jiang","Xiaojuan He","Zhaoxiang Bian","Ge Zhang","Aiping Lü"],"tags":["Medicine","Pharmacology","Traditional Chinese medicine","PDGFB","Traditional medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-04-27","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1038/aps.2015.15","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W4385225935","name":"Discovering Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Formulas for Complex Diseases Based on a Combination of Reverse Systematic Pharmacology and TCM Meridian Tropism Theory: Taking COVID-19 as an Example","source":"openalex","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: Infections and death have been a part of our daily lives since the COVID-2019 pandemic outbreak in 2019, and the societal and economic consequences have lingered for an unanticipated duration. Novel and effective treatments are still desperately needed around the world to combat the infection. Here, we discovered a novel traditional Chinese medicine formula (TCMF) to potentially combat COVID-19 through reverse systematic pharmacology (disease → targets → TCMF → disease). METHODS: physiological interactions between herbs and disease hub targets were validated by molecular docking and dynamics simulation. RESULTS: Based on disease-related gene/pathway targets and a combination of reverse pharmacology and TCM meridian tropism theory, a COVID-19-associated herb database was constructed. A new TCMF, including Gancao, Baitouweng, Congbai, and Diyu (GBCD), was discovered for anti-COVID-19 therapy. The KEGG and GO analyses of 49 intersecting genes suggested that GBCD could combat COVID-19 through antiviral, antiinflammation, immunoregulation, and cytoprotection activities.

However, the interaction of bioactives from HHS with the targets involved in UC has not been elucidated yet. AIM: A network pharmacology-based approach combined with molecular docking and in vitro validation was performed to determine the bioactives, key targets, and potential pharmacological mechanism of HHS against UC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bioactives and potential targets of HHS, as well as UC-related targets, were retrieved from public databases. Crucial bioactive ingredients, potential targets, and signaling pathways were acquired through bioinformatics analysis, including protein-protein interaction (PPI), as well as the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Subsequently, molecular docking was carried out to predict the combination of active compounds with core targets. Lastly, in vitro experiments were conducted to further verify the findings. RESULTS: A total of 28 bioactive ingredients of HHS and 421 HHS-UC-related targets were screened. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that quercetin, luteolin, and nobiletin may be potential candidate agents. JUN, TP53, and ESR1 could become potential therapeutic targets. PI3K-AKT signaling pathway might play an important role in HHS against UC. Moreover, molecular docking suggested that quercetin, luteolin, and nobiletin combined well with JUN, TP53, and ESR1, respectively.

Here, we compared the effects of GQD and berberine, a hypothetical key active pharmaceutical ingredient of GQD, on a diabetic rat model by comprehensive analyses of gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, proinflammatory cytokines, and ileum transcriptomics. Our results show that berberine and GQD had similar effects on lowering blood glucose levels, modulating gut microbiota, inducing ileal gene expression, as well as relieving systemic and local inflammation. As expected, both berberine and GQD treatment significantly altered the overall gut microbiota structure and enriched many butyrate-producing bacteria, including Faecalibacterium and Roseburia, thereby attenuating intestinal inflammation and lowering glucose. Levels of short-chain fatty acids in rat feces were also significantly elevated after treatment with berberine or GQD. Moreover, concentration of serum proinflammatory cytokines and expression of immune-related genes, including Nfkb1, Stat1, and Ifnrg1, in pancreatic islets were significantly reduced after treatment. Our study demonstrates that the main effects of GQD can be attributed to berberine via modulating gut microbiota. The strategy employed would facilitate further standardization and widespread application of TCM in many diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gpb.2019.09.007","authors":["Xizhan Xu","Zezheng Gao","Fuquan Yang","Yingying Yang","Liang Chen","Han Lin","Na Zhao","Jiayue Xu","Xinmiao Wang","Yue Ma","Lian Shu","Xiaoxi Hu","Na Lyu","Yuanlong Pan","Baoli Zhu","Linhua Zhao","Xiaolin Tong","Jun Wang"],"tags":["Berberine","Decoction","Ingredient","Traditional medicine","Active ingredient"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.gpb.2019.09.007","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2389582945","name":"Review of Mechanism Research on Anti-Influenza Virus Effects of Compound TCM Formulas","source":"openalex","abstract":"In recent years,new influenza outbreaks constantly and anti-influenza drugs are continually developed as well.Many Chinese herbs were confirmed to have anti-influenza virus effects also.The mechanism research on anti-influenza virus effects of compound TCM formulas was reviewed in this article from inhibiting influenza virus infection and replication,preventing apoptosis induced by influenza virus,reducing oxidative stress injury caused by influenza virus,and regulating the immune function.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2389582945","authors":["Kou Shuan"],"tags":["Virus","Medicine","Mechanism (biology)","Virology","Influenza A virus"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"oa:W4220740089","name":"Nano-traditional Chinese medicine: a promising strategy and its recent advances","source":"openalex","abstract":"In this review, we first describe the limitations of TCM ingredients and two significant forms of nanotechnology applied in TCM, nanometerization of TCMs and nano-drug delivery systems for TCMs. Then, we discuss the preparation methods of nanometerization: mechanical crushing, spray drying, and high-pressure homogenization, which have been utilized to conquer the various weaknesses of TCMs. Then, recent advances in nano-drug delivery systems for TCM ingredients are discussed, including lipid-based nanocarriers, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanocarriers, hybrid nanoparticles, and TCM self-assembled nanoparticles.

In the current review, we mainly focus on the recent laboratory studies of the TCM formulas including Wu-Ling-San (Poria Five Powder; Wǔ Líng Sǎn), Danggui-Buxue-Tang (Tangkuei and Astragalus Decoction; Dāng Guī Bǔ Xuè Tang), and Danggui-Shaoyao-San (Tangkuei and Paeonia Formula; Dāng Guī Sháo Yào Sǎn), conducted by the Committee on Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy at the Department of Health of Taiwan Government, in the amelioration of DN. These selected TCM formulas have anti-diabetic properties, with antihyperglycemic activity accompanied by amelioration of advanced glycation end product-mediated renal damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. However, the renoprotective effects of the selected TCM formulas did not correlate with suppressing renal renin-angiotensin system hyperactivity in diabetic rats. These TCM formulas also have the capacity to ameliorate the defective antioxidative defense system, leading to modulation of the oxidative stress, thereby resulting in downregulation of nuclear factor-kB as well as transforming growth factor-β1 and, consequently, attenuation of extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin or type IV collagen expression in diabetic renal cortex tissue. More detailed mechanistic researches and long-term clinical evaluations, as well as evaluation of safety of the selected TCM formulas are needed for their future applications in DN therapy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/2225-4110.114893","authors":["Thing‐Fong Tzeng","Shorong‐Shii Liou","I-Min Liu"],"tags":["Traditional medicine","Perspective (graphical)","Diabetic nephropathy","Traditional Chinese medicine","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-07-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.4103/2225-4110.114893","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2384217861","name":"Cultural Interpretation of English Translation of TCM Formula Terms in the Perspective of Functionalist Skopos Theory","source":"openalex","abstract":"The traditional Chinese medicine translation not only faces shift needs between the Chinese language and English language,but also bears the heavy responsibility of dialogue between the Eastern and Western cultural differences.This paper explores the English translation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) formula(traditional Chinese prescription) terms in the perspective of functionalist skopos theory,and chooses the suitable translation strategies for formula terms based on their nature and cultural features as well as the translation skopos,aiming at publicizing the traditional Chinese medicine culture and achieving the sympathetic chord between the translator and reader and the harmony between two different cultures to the full extent.","url":"https://openalex.org/W2384217861","authors":["Lin Yu-peng"],"tags":["Skopos theory","Linguistics","Harmony (color)","Perspective (graphical)","Structural functionalism"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"oa:W1971578783","name":"An in vivo analysis of the therapeutic and synergistic properties of Chinese medicinal formula Yin-Chen-Hao-Tang based on its active constituents","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fitote.2011.07.014","authors":["Aihua Zhang","Hui Sun","Ye Yuan","Wenjun Sun","Guozheng Jiao","Xijun Wang"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine","Pharmacokinetics","Pharmacology","Therapeutic effect"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-08-02","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.fitote.2011.07.014","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2947617737","name":"Gegen Qinlian decoction enhances the effect of PD-1 blockade in colorectal cancer with microsatellite stability by remodelling the gut microbiota and the tumour microenvironment","source":"openalex","abstract":"Therapeutic antibodies targeting PD-1 have made major breakthroughs in cancer treatment. However, the majority of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are microsatellite stable (MSS) and do not respond to anti-PD-1-based immunotherapy. Combination therapy will be an ideal strategy to overcome this limitation. Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD), a classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has been clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, a systemic pharmacological study revealed that GQD acts through multiple targets and pathways in the human body. Combination therapy with GQD and anti-mouse PD-1 potently inhibited the growth of CT26 tumours in a xenograft model. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that combination therapy with GQD and anti-mouse PD-1 significantly enriched for s__Bacteroides_acidifaciens and s__uncultured_organism_g__norank_f__Bacteroidales_S24-7_group. Based on metabolomic analyses, profoundly altered metabolites were identified in the combination therapy group. Two metabolic signalling pathways, namely, glycerophospholipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism, were explored. In particular, we found that combination therapy with GQD and anti-mouse PD-1 significantly increased the proportion of CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood and tumour tissues. Direct treatment with GQD and anti-mouse PD-1 increased the expression of IFN-γ, which is a critical factor in antitumour immunotherapy. In addition, combination therapy with GQD and anti-mouse PD-1 downregulated PD-1 and increased IL-2 levels, suggesting that the combination therapy could effectively restore T-cell functions by suppressing inhibitory checkpoints. The application of the Chinese medicinal formula GQD with PD-1 blockade-based immunotherapy can be a novel therapeutic strategy for CRC patients with MSS tumours.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-019-1638-6","authors":["Ji Lv","Yitao Jia","Jing Li","Wentao Kuai","Yang Li","Fang Guo","Xinjian Xu","Zhaolong Zhao","Jian Lv","Zhongxin Li"],"tags":["Colorectal cancer","Combination therapy","Cancer research","Immunotherapy","Cancer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-05-28","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1038/s41419-019-1638-6","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W4291826025","name":"TCM‐Suite: A comprehensive and holistic platform for Traditional Chinese Medicine component identification and network pharmacology analysis","source":"openalex","abstract":"DNA-based biological ingredient identification and downstream pharmacology network analysis are commonly used in research for Traditional Chinese Medicine preparations (TCM formulas).

With the patient number of about 8.9 million, heart failure has brought a heavy burden to public health and wellness. Despite the modern medical research progress in the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of heart failure, the patients with heart failure still suffer from recurrent episodes of dyspnea(requiring repeated hospital admissions), diuretic resistance, elevated creatinine levels due to prolonged diuretic use, and poor prognosis, among other major clinical and scientific issues. In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), heart failure belongs to the category of "heart water". The research team has found that because of the changes in the modern disease spectrum, the differences between ancient and modern physical constitutions, and the use of anti-heart failure drugs in modern medicine, the pathological process of heart failure has been altered, and the symptoms of some patients have become unobvious. As a result, the etiology and pathogenesis of heart failure have undergone major changes. The disease causes include external pathogen attack, emotional disorders, excessive labor injury, medication-induced damage, dietary disorders, water-dampness stagnation, and endowment insufficiency. These causes are closely related to the infection aggravation-induced heart failure, cardiac and psychological diseases, and heart volume overload in modern medicine. The pathogeneses of heart failure include edema due to Yang deficiency and water retention turning into heat in the acute stage and liver depression and Qi stagnation, heart Qi deficiency, kidney Yang deficiency, Qi deficiency in lung and spleen, phlegm and water retention, and internal obstruction due to blood stasis in the remission stage. The corresponding treatment strategies were recommended as follows: Zhenwu Decoction for edema due to Yang deficiency, Mufangji Decoction for water retention turning into heat, Chaihu Longgu Muli Decoction for liver depression and Qi stagnation, Guizhi Decoction for heart Qi insufficiency, Shenqi Pills and Yougui Pills for kidney Yang deficiency, Yupingfeng Powder, Lizhong Decoction, Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, and Guipi Decoction for Qi deficiency in lung and spleen, Fangji Huangqi Decoction, Wuling Powder, Linggui Zhugan Decoction, and Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction for internal obstruction due to phlegm and water retention, Guizhi Fuling Pills and Danggui Shaoyao Powder for internal obstruction due to blood stasis. The clinical treatment should follow the principle of considering both pathogenesis and pathology as well as both medicine nature and mechanism. The TCM concept of secondary prevention with TCM formulas for replenishing deficiency should be adopted. The treatment based on the principle and concept above will improve the patients' quality of life, reduce the number of hospital admissions, ameliorate diuretic resistance, and improve the clinical outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20240814.501","authors":["Yu Lan","Fu-Kun Luo","Yue Yu","Xiaoya Wang","Pengqian Wang","Xing-Jiang Xiong"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine","Medicine","Heart failure","Alternative medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20240814.501","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"oa:W2766843644","name":"Can highly cited herbs in ancient Traditional Chinese medicine formulas and modern publications predict therapeutic targets for diabetes mellitus?","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2017.10.032","authors":["Huijun Wang","Songshan Shi","Shunchun Wang"],"tags":["Traditional medicine","Diabetes mellitus","Medicine","Traditional Chinese medicine","Alternative medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-11-02","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2017.10.032","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1210.2107v2","name":"On Optimal TCM Encoders","source":"arxiv","abstract":"An asymptotically optimal trellis-coded modulation (TCM) encoder requires the joint design of the encoder and the binary labeling of the constellation.

Traditional TCM designs overcome this problem by using a labeling that follows the set-partitioning principle and by performing an exhaustive search over the encoders.

However, existing datasets are not of sufficient quality nor quantity to support the further development of data-driven AI technology in TCM. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on the core task of the TCM diagnosis and treatment system -- syndrome differentiation (SD) -- and we introduce the first public large-scale dataset for SD, called TCM-SD. Our dataset contains 54,152 real-world clinical records covering 148 syndromes. Furthermore, we collect a large-scale unlabelled textual corpus in the field of TCM and propose a domain-specific pre-trained language model, called ZY-BERT. We conducted experiments using deep neural networks to establish a strong performance baseline, reveal various challenges in SD, and prove the potential of domain-specific pre-trained language model.

Questions from the TCM Medical Licensing Examination (MLE) and the college Classics Course Exam (CCE) were randomly selected as benchmark datasets. Results: By coupling with GPT-4, the framework can improve the best performance on the TCM MLE benchmark by 19.85% in absolute accuracy, and improve recall accuracy from 27% to 38% on CCE datasets. In manual evaluation, the framework improves a total of 18.52 points across dimensions of safety, consistency, explainability, compliance, and coherence.

Here we conduct a large-scale analysis of 69,745 publications (2000 - 2025), emerging a cyclical evolution defined by coordinated expansion and contraction in publication output, international collaboration, and funding commitments that mirrors a define-ideate-test pattern.

Cross-theme integration of TCM is patient-centered and systems-oriented. Together with the emergent cycles of evolution, the thematic structure demonstrates progressive specialization and potential defragmentation of the field or saturation of existing research agenda. The analysis points to a field that has matured its current research agenda and is likely at the cusp of something new.

To address these issues, we introduce \\textit{DigestDS}, a novel dataset comprising practical medical records from experienced experts in digestive system diseases.

Moreover, TCM-FTP incorporates data augmentation by permuting herbs within prescriptions, exploiting their order-agnostic nature. Impressively, TCM-FTP achieves an F1-score of 0.8031, significantly outperforming previous methods. Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable accuracy in dosage prediction, achieving a normalized mean square error of 0.0604. In contrast, LLMs without fine-tuning exhibit poor performance.

We investigate how to properly carry out the classification using a novel data-driven method known as latent tree analysis. Method: A cross-sectional survey on VMCI was carried out in several regions in northern China from 2008 to 2011, which resulted in a data set that involves 803 patients and 93 symptoms. Latent tree analysis was performed on the data to reveal symptom co-occurrence patterns, and the patients were partitioned into clusters in multiple ways based on the patterns. The patient clusters were matched up with syndrome types, and population statistics of the clusters are used to quantify the syndrome types and to establish classification rules. Results: Eight syndrome types are identified: Qi Deficiency, Qi Stagnation, Blood Deficiency, Blood Stasis, Phlegm-Dampness, Fire-Heat, Yang Deficiency, and Yin Deficiency. The prevalence and symptom occurrence characteristics of each syndrome type are determined. Quantitative classification rules are established for determining whether a patient belongs to each of the syndrome types. Conclusions: A solution for the TCM syndrome classification problem associated with VMCI is established based on the latent tree analysis of unlabeled symptom survey data. The results can be used as a reference in clinic practice to improve the quality of syndrome differentiation and to reduce diagnosis variances across physicians. They can also be used for patient selection in research projects aimed at finding biomarkers for the syndrome types and in randomized control trials aimed at determining the efficacy of TCM treatments of VMCI.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.06923v2","authors":["Chen Fu","Nevin L.

The DE formula transforms a given integral into another integral that is suited for the trapezoidal rule; in this process, the integral interval is transformed to the infinite interval. Therefore, it is necessary to truncate the infinite interval into an appropriate finite interval. In this paper, a truncation method, which is based on a truncation error analysis specialized to the computation of $A^α$, is proposed. Then, two algorithms are presented -- one computes $A^α$ with a fixed number of abscissas, and the other computes $A^α$ adaptively. Subsequently, the convergence rate of the DE formula for Hermitian positive definite matrices is analyzed. The convergence rate analysis shows that the DE formula converges faster than the Gaussian quadrature when $A$ is ill-conditioned and $α$ is a non-unit fraction. Numerical results show that our algorithms achieved the required accuracy and were faster than other algorithms in several situations.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.01667v2","authors":["Fuminori Tatsuoka","Tomohiro Sogabe","Yuto Miyatake","Tomoya Kemmochi","Shao-Liang Zhang"],"tags":["math.NA"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-03T02:57:10Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"arxiv:2408.01759v2","name":"An analogue of a formula of Popov","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Let $r_{k}(n)$ denote the number of representations of the positive integer $n$ as the sum of $k$ squares.

Because the cost function of the adaptive steganography does not consider the impact of modification on the robustness, the modified DCT coefficients of the stego image after TCM will change after recompression. To reduce the number of changed coefficients after recompression, this paper proposes a robust steganography algorithm which dynamically updates the robustness cost of every DCT coefficient. The robustness cost proposed is calculated by testing whether the modified DCT coefficient can resist recompression in every step of STC embedding process. By adding robustness cost to the distortion cost and using the framework of STC embedding algorithm to embed the message, the stego images have good performance both in robustness and security. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly enhance the robustness of stego images, and the embedded messages could be extracted correctly at almost all cases when recompressing with a lower quality factor and recompression process is known to the user of proposed algorithm.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10095v2","authors":["Jimin Zhang","Xianfeng Zhao","Xiaolei He"],"tags":["cs.CR"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-18T08:49:03Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1607.06611v3","name":"Superconnections and An Intrinsic Gauss-Bonnet-Chern Formula for Finsler Manifolds","source":"arxiv","abstract":"In this paper, we establish an intrinsic Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for Finsler manifolds by using the Mathai-Quillen's superconnection formalism, in which no extra vector field is involved.

We analyzed contrast-enhanced chest-abdomen-pelvis CT scans from 130 adults (120 kVp, TCM). Reference doses for six organs (lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, bladder, spleen) were calculated using MC-GPU and TotalSegmentator. Based on these, we trained Scout-Dose-TCM, a deep learning model that predicts organ doses corresponding to discrete cosine transform (DCT) basis functions, enabling real-time estimates for any TCM profile. The model combines a feature learning module that extracts contextual information from lateral and frontal scouts and scan range with a dose learning module that output DCT-based dose estimates. A customized loss function incorporated the DCT formulation during training. For comparison, we implemented size-specific dose estimation per AAPM TG 204 (Global CTDIvol) and its organ-level TCM-adapted version (Organ CTDIvol). A 5-fold cross-validation assessed generalizability by comparing mean absolute percentage dose errors and r-squared correlations with benchmark doses.

It also achieved higher r-squared values, indicating stronger agreement with Monte Carlo benchmarks.

To address this issue, this study proposes a non-invasive and interpretable NAFLD diagnostic method, the required user-provided indicators are only Gender, Age, Height, Weight, Waist Circumference, Hip Circumference, and tongue image.

The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 77.22\\% using only non-invasive data, and it also provides compelling interpretability matrices.

These heterogeneous workloads introduce additional inference stages, such as vision preprocessing and encoding, that inflate latency and memory demand. Existing LLM serving systems, optimized for text-only workloads, fail under multimodality: large requests (e.g., videos) monopolize resources, causing severe head-of-line blocking and performance degradation. Our key insight is that multimodal requests differ by orders of magnitude in resource demands, which we capture through a simple abstraction: videos behave like trucks, images like cars, and text like motorcycles. We design TCM-Serve, a modality-aware scheduler that lets motorcycles flow quickly through cars and trucks, ensuring interactive responsiveness while avoiding starvation. TCM-Serve classifies requests, prioritizes them dynamically, and applies aging to avoid starvation. Evaluation across state-of-the-art MLLMs shows that TCM-Serve reduces, on average, time-to-first-token (TTFT) by 54% overall, and by 78.5% for latency-critical requests, compared to current systems. TCM-Serve delivers LLM-like responsiveness for MLLMs, with modality-aware scheduling and by making the most efficient use of the available resources.","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.26498v2","authors":["Konstantinos Papaioannou","Thaleia Dimitra Doudali"],"tags":["cs.DC","cs.AI"],"confidence":0.78,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-27T15:00:53Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z"},{"id":"arxiv:1006.3810v5","name":"Six operations and Lefschetz-Verdier formula for Deligne-Mumford stacks","source":"arxiv","abstract":"Laszlo and Olsson constructed Grothendieck's six operations for constructible complexes on Artin stacks in étale cohomology under an assumption of finite cohomological dimension, with base change established on the level of sheaves.

This formula can be used to promote the movement of qi and blood in a mild way without injuring the yin . Furthermore, it strengthens the spleen qi and spleen yang .

However, the current preparations for inactivating oral virus are mainly aimed at ACE2 protein, and its effect needs to be improved.

A test using pseudotype virus with S glycoprotein confirmed that this formula could effectively bind to the S glycoprotein to prevent SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry. Molecular docking experiments showed that the m ultiple molecules in the formula might weakly bind to these targets including ACE2, cathepsin L, furin, mpro/3cl. In all, the volatile oil formula designed in this paper offers a general affordable strategy to protect patients from SARS-CoV-2 infections through debulking or minimizing transmission to others.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.05.22.595089","authors":["Huan Zhang","Wuyan Guo","Jing Shen","Xiaorui Song","Bo Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-23T01:05:20Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1101/2024.05.22.595089","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-27852/v1","name":"Innovation and inheritance: A novel strategy for the development of anti-yellowing cosmetic material from TCM formula","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-27852/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-27852/v1","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789811292026_0003","name":"Formula that Releases the Exterior Where the Head and Neck Are Affected","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789811292026_0003","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-11T01:43:58Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1142/9789811292026_0003","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2019.81009","name":"New Progress in the Research of TCM Clinical Formula in the Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2019.81009","authors":["熙 温"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-01-17T02:43:26Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2019.81009","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2023.125156","name":"Study on Chinese Classic Herbal Formula of Royal Gold Tonica","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2023.125156","authors":["磊 赵"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-23T08:20:46Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2023.125156","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/besc64747.2024.10780482","name":"Real-World Drug-Adverse Reaction Prediction of Combined use of TCM Formula Granules and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/besc64747.2024.10780482","authors":["Heng Weng","Bo Xiao","Wei Zhou","Yini Luo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-12T19:07:29Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1109/besc64747.2024.10780482","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37200/ijpr/v24i4/pr201039","name":"TREATMENT OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND ANGINA PECTORIS THROUGH THE SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY INVESTIGATION LEVEL IN THE MECHANISMS OF TCM WITH THE GUANXIN SHUTONG CAPSULE FORMULA","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37200/ijpr/v24i4/pr201039","authors":["Akhtar Hussain Shar","Hany M.

Makino, Cinnamomum cassia (L.) J. Presl, and Ampelopsis grossedentata (Hand-Mazz) W.T. Wang, has yet to have its potential contributions to alcoholic liver disease (ALD) fully elucidated. Consequently, the objective of this research is to investigate the protective properties of LanGui tea against binge alcohol-induced ALD and the mechanisms underlying its effects. Methods An experimental model of acute alcohol-induced liver disease was performed to assess the protective effects of extract of LanGui tea (ELG) at both 50 and 100 mg.kg −1 dosages on male C57BL/6 mice. Various parameters, including hepatic histological changes, inflammation, lipids content, as well as liver enzymes and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in the serum were measured. The pharmacological mechanisms of ELG, specifically its effects on adenosine monophosphate-(AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) signaling, were investigated through Western blotting, qRT–PCR, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence analyses, and by blocking the AMPK activity. Results ELG demonstrated a mitigating effect on fatty liver, inflammation, and hepatic dysfunction within the mouse model. This effect was achieved by activating AMPK signaling and inhibitingNLRP3 signaling in the liver, causing a reduction in IL-1β generation. In vitro studies further confirmed that ELG inhibited cell damage and IL-1β production in ethanol-induced hepatocytes by enhancing AMPK-NLRP3 signaling. Conversely, the pharmacological inhibition of AMPK activity nearly abrogated such alteration. Conclusions Thus, LanGui tea emerges as a promising herbal therapy for ALD management involving AMPK-NLRP3 signaling.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-024-00906-0","authors":["Ming Gu","Yu-jun Chen","Ya-ru Feng","Zhi-peng Tang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-04T11:01:36Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-024-00906-0","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4351214","name":"TCM Formula for Trauma Treatment Screening and its Role of Promoting Infectious Wound Coalescence Investigating","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4351214","authors":["Siya LiSrAr","Bolin Gu","Jinwu Meng","Jinyue Zhu","Jinli Wang","Weiran Wang","Jinxue Ding","Tianxin Qiu","Wenjia Wang","Yi Wu","Kun Li","Jiaguo Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-23T16:57:04Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4351214","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5897/jmpr11.086","name":"Validation of a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the quality control of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation, Traditional Chinese formula Huanglianjiedutang (HLJDT)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5897/jmpr11.086","authors":["Baolin Bian"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-12-05T03:44:14Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.5897/jmpr11.086","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.1410597","name":"Prof. Zhang Li Ran’s Clinical Experience in Treating Insomnia with the Formula of “Soul-Restoring, Reverse-Regulating and Pivot-Adjusting Formula”","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.1410597","authors":["妍 田"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-11T07:40:53Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.1410597","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/2894659","name":"Qige Huxin Formula Attenuates Isoprenaline-Induced Cardiac Fibrosis in Mice via Modulating Gut Microbiota and Protecting Intestinal Integrity","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background. The composition and metabolic activities of gut microbiota are strongly interconnected with cardiac fibrosis (CF) and heart failure (HF). Qige Huxin formula (QHF), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation originating from a classical Fangji Huangqi decoction, has been widely used to clinically treat HF for decades. However, it is still unclear whether QHF alleviates CF by modulating gut microbiota and intestinal integrity. Purpose. This study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of QHF in isoprenaline-induced CF through modulating gut microbiota and intestinal integrity. Methods. Fifty mice were randomly divided into five groups after one week of acclimatization feeding: control group, model group, 2.56 g/kg/d group (low-dose QHF), 5.12 g/kg/d group (high-dose QHF), and meto group (15 mg/kg/d). The CF model was established by subcutaneously injecting the mice with isoprenaline (10 mg/kg/d for 14 days), followed by QHF treatment. The heart volume, cardiac weight index (CWI), serum myocardial enzymes, serum inflammatory cytokines, serum lipopolysaccharide, histopathology of the heart and colon tissues, ZO-1, and occludin of colon tissues were then measured. Fecal samples from mice were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Results. QHF treatment significantly reduced heart volume, CWI, and serum CK and CK-MB levels, attenuated cardiac histopathological alterations, and alleviated CF. QHF treatment also downregulated TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in serum. Moreover, QHF treatment decreased the serum level of lipopolysaccharide and maintained intestinal integrity by upregulating ZO-1 and occludin. The 16S rRNA microbiota analysis revealed that QHF treatment increased the relative abundance of Marvinbryantia and Phascolarctobacterium. Conclusions. QHF treatment exerts cardioprotective effects through modulating gut microbiota, protecting intestinal integrity, and alleviating inflammation. This study shows that gut microbiota may enhance heart-gut interaction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/2894659","authors":["Lipeng Shi","Xuqin Du","Biao Zuo","Jinyuan Hu","Wenfu Cao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-20T20:35:26Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/2894659","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/3-211-29992-0_5","name":"TCM und Schulmedizin","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/3-211-29992-0_5","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2006-09-04T12:15:47Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1007/3-211-29992-0_5","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.151065","name":"Research on the TCM Formula Law of Physician Wei Huafeng in Treating Cough Based on Data Mining and Network Pharmacology Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.151065","authors":["璐 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23T02:07:43Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.151065","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jaci.2007.12.973","name":"Contribution Of CD8 T Cells To The Anti-Allergic Effects of the TCM Formula FAHF-2","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2007.12.973","authors":["K.D.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a major component of complementary and alternative medicine, has accumulated numerous effective formulas for the clinical management of DPN. However, systematic approaches for optimizing TCM formulas remain limited. Objective: To establish a pathway-oriented approach for TCM formula optimization and to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of the optimized formula in DPN. Methods: We developed 2 formula optimization algorithms that defined pathway-oriented herbal correlation (HC) and herbal contribution (HO) to screen and construct a new herbal formula, Qihongtongbi (QHTB), for treating Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome complicated with DPN. An animal experiment was subsequently conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of QHTB. A total of 32 specific-pathogen-free male ob/ob mice (18–20 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups: model, Mudan Granules (MDG), QHTB low- and high-dose groups ( n = 8). Ten male C57BL/6J mice (18–20 g) served as the control group. Metabolomics analysis was further employed to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying the effects of QHTB. Results: Based on our previous study on TCM medication patterns for treating DPN, 22 candidate herbs were selected for formula optimization. The top 5 candidate herbs (total HC = 25.24 × 10 5 ) exhibited HC values comparable to those of MDG (total HC = 26.1 × 10 5 ). These herbs were Carthamus tinctorius L. (HC = 5.40 × 10 5 ), Astragalus mongholicus Bunge (HC = 5.23 × 10 5 ), Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (HC = 5.15 × 10 5 ), Commiphora myrrha (T. Nees) Engl. (HC = 5.02 × 10 5 ), and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (HC = 4.44 × 10 5 ). HO analysis showed that the cumulative HO of these 5 herbs exceeded 50%. In vivo experiments demonstrated that, compared with the model group, QHTB significantly lowered blood glucose ( P < 0.05), enhanced nerve conduction velocity ( P < 0.01), improved nociceptive hypersensitivity ( P < 0.01), and ameliorated sciatic nerve morphology, with efficacy comparable to MDG. Serum and fecal metabolomics further revealed that QHTB exerted multipathway regulatory effects, among which nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism represented a key mechanism.

Motion segment cultures facilitate the application and control of mechanical loads. The purpose of this study was to establish a culturing method for rabbit IVD motion segments to observe the effect of static load on the whole disc organ. Segments were cultured in custom-made apparatuses under a constant, compressive load (3 kg) for 2 weeks. Tissue integrity, matrix synthesis, and matrix gene expression profile were assessed and compared with fresh one. The results showed ex vivo culturing of samples gradually destroyed the morphology. Proteoglycan contents and gene expression were decreased and downregulated obviously. However, immunohistochemical staining intensity and collagen type II gene expression were significantly enhanced and upregulated. In contrast, these trends were reversed under constant compression. These results indicated short-term static load stimulated the synthesis of type II collagen; however, constant compression led to progressive degeneration and specifically to proteoglycan. Through this study a loading and organ-culturing system for ex vivo rabbit IVD motion segments was developed, which can be used to study the effects of mechanical stimulation on the biology of IVDs and the pathomechanics of IVD degeneration.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/2481712","authors":["Jia-Wen Zhan","Min-Shan Feng","Li-Guo Zhu","Ping Zhang","Jie

Insights into the Anti-COPD Effects of an Herbal Extract-based TCM Formula, Chuanxing Qingfei Tangjiang, via Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background Chuanxing Qingfei Tangjiang (CQT) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation composed of nine herbal components: Mentha haplocalyx (Bohe), Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Gancao), Eriobotrya japonica (Pipaye), Ophiopogon japonicus (Maidong), Prunus armeniaca (Kuxingren), Rehmannia glutinosa (Di huang), Morus alba (Sangye), Platycodon grandiflorus (Jiegeng), and Fritillaria cirrhosa (Chuanbeimu). Traditionally, CQT is used to treat cough, sputum retention, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The bioactive compounds extracted from these plants, including flavonoids and alkaloids, are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Objectives To elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-COPD effects of CQT through integrated network pharmacology and molecular docking approaches. Materials and Methods Active compounds were identified using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and the High-throughput Experiment- and Reference-guided Database of TCM (HERB), and their targets were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction. COPD-related genes were retrieved from GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. Network construction, Gene Ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment, and molecular docking were performed to identify the major pathways and binding interactions. Results A total of 121 bioactive compounds and 221 overlapping COPD-related targets were identified. Key putative pathways involved included the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) pathways. Molecular docking demonstrated favorable binding affinities (binding energy < −5 kcal mol–¹, an initial affinity indicator, not a direct measure of biological activity) between major plant-derived compounds (e.g., quercetin, kaempferol, and luteolin) and target proteins (e.g., AKT1, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)). Conclusion This study provides predictive mechanistic insights into how bioactive constituents from CQT may act synergistically to mitigate COPD, supporting further experimental exploration of this herbal formulation as a multi-target natural therapeutic agent. All findings require validation via in vitro (e.g., cell models) and in vivo (e.g., animal models) experiments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09731296251384068","authors":["Yuanyuan Song","Chen Cheng","Ying Liu","Jin Cheng","Heng Li","Yanyun Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-27T09:34:10Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.1177/09731296251384068","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2023.127265","name":"Study on TLC and HPLC fingerprint of Rubia cordifolia and Its Formula Granules","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2023.127265","authors":["红云 刘"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-31T05:15:49Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.111Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2023.127265","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.668Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-662-43665-3_13","name":"TCM in China – TCM im Westen","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-43665-3_13","authors":["C.

Exposure and Multicomponent Pharmacokinetics of Mailuoning Oral Liquid: Integrated Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Profiling and Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Quantification.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Mailuoning oral liquid (MLN) is a state-approved multi-herb formula that has been prescribed for 25 years to clear heat, nourish yin, invigorate blood, and resolve stasis. Although randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence support its efficacy in thromboangiitis obliterans, deep-vein thrombosis, and the convalescent phase of cerebral infarction, a systematic search identified no pharmacokinetic data on its bioactive constituents. This lack of pharmacokinetic data impedes evidence-based dose refinement and international acceptance. Here, we employed ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with Quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap HRMS) to track 39 MLN-derived compounds in rat plasma, intestinal contents, and 10 tissues; 15 with prominent systemic exposure were designated as key pharmacokinetic markers. A selective and sensitive UHPLC-tandem MS assay was subsequently developed and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of these 15 circulating components. The assay exhibited excellent linearity (r ≥ 0.9974) for all analytes, with precision, accuracy, extraction recovery, and matrix effects meeting standard bioanalytical validation criteria. All compounds demonstrated stability under the tested storage conditions. Following oral administration of MLN at 8.1 and 16.2 mL·kg -1 in rats, all 15 components were rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentrations within approximately 1 h. Systemic exposure increased in a clear dose-dependent manner, with structurally related compounds showing similar pharmacokinetic profiles. Notably, the iridoids secoxyloganin, harpagide, and secologanic acid yielded the highest AUC 0 - 24 h values, indicating they are the principal systemic exposure markers. This study establishes the first comprehensive pharmacokinetic profile for MLN and provides a robust, validated analytical platform. By creating a crucial link between quantitative systemic exposure and efficacy, our work supplies a scientific foundation for refining dosage regimens, establishing quality specifications, and promoting the evidence-based clinical application of this widely prescribed traditional Chinese medicine formula.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jssc.70481","authors":["Wu S","Jia W","Hua J","Jian J","Zhu L","Jiang S","Xiong A","Li J","Ji L","Liu W","Xu H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:08.112Z","doi":"10.1002/jssc.70481","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121715","name":"Corrigendum to \"Integrating transcriptomics and network pharmacology to investigate YangxinDingji Capsule alleviates myocardial injury in tachyarrhythmia rat\" [J.

However, the complexity of the multidimensional relationships in syndrome differentiation and treatment, herbal compatibility, and dosage selection poses significant challenges to clinical decision-making. Although artificial intelligence technology has made remarkable progress in TCM auxiliary diagnosis, a systematic review of Chinese herbal medicine recommendation methods remains lacking. This review aims to address this gap by systematically reviewing Chinese herbal medicine generation methods grounded in knowledge graph-based recommendations, deep learning-based recommendations, and hybrid model-based recommendations from 2016 to 2025. Major TCM databases that serve as foundational data sources, including traditional Chinese medicine systems, pharmacology database, and analysis platform, symptom mapping database, High-throughput Experimental and Reference Database, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Information Database, which are crucial for training these recommendation models. It further analyses their evolutionary technical patterns and clinical applicability, providing critical references for developing theoretically robust and clinically interpretable artificial intelligence models for TCM practice. Existing research focuses on constructing knowledge graph-driven Chinese herbal medicine recommendation models, which enhance the interpretability of recommendations by structuring the relationships among symptoms, Chinese herbal medicines, and diseases. Meanwhile, a clinical data-driven framework is introduced to discover potential patterns from real-world diagnosis and treatment scenarios. Deep learning-driven methods are adopted to achieve end-to-end feature learning for TCM knowledge reasoning. To improve the clinical applicability of Chinese herbal medicine recommendation models, a few studies have reported evaluation methods by experienced clinical doctors using herbal effectiveness and herbal compatibility scores to assess the reliability of the models and the accuracy of the recommendation results. Forming a comprehensive evaluation system may be the development trend of the evaluation system for clinical decision-support systems. This review outlines a theory-data-clinical ternary evaluation framework for Chinese herbal medicine recommendation models, providing a methodological innovation for developing intelligent systems that meet the standards of evidence-based medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000048468","authors":["Yang M","Jin J","Liu YL","Zhao L","Chen H","Hao WA","Ao XY","Ran ZL","Li Z","Zhou

Thirty-one active ingredients of Danggui-Honghua possessing favorable pharmacokinetic profiles and biological activities were selected, interacting with 42 BSS-related targets to provide potential synergistic therapeutic actions. Systematic analysis of the constructed networks revealed that these targets such as HMOX1, NOS2, NOS3, HIF1A and PTGS2 were mainly involved in TNF signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, estrogen signaling pathway and neurotrophin signaling pathway. The contribution index of every active ingredient also indicated six compounds, including hydroxysafflor yellow A, safflor yellow A, safflor yellow B, Z-ligustilide, ferulic acid, and Z-butylidenephthalide, as the principal components of this herb pair.

In the past decades, pharmaceutical industry focused mainly on libraries of synthetic compounds as drug discovery source. They are comparably easy to produce and resupply, and demonstrate good compatibility with established high throughput screening (HTS) platforms. However, at the same time there has been a declining trend in the number of new drugs reaching the market, raising renewed scientific interest in drug discovery from natural sources, despite of its known challenges. In this survey, a brief outline of historical development is provided together with a comprehensive overview of used approaches and recent developments relevant to plant-derived natural product drug discovery. Associated challenges and major strengths of natural product-based drug discovery are critically discussed. A snapshot of the advanced plant-derived natural products that are currently in actively recruiting clinical trials is also presented. Importantly, the transition of a natural compound from a \"screening hit\" through a \"drug lead\" to a \"marketed drug\" is associated with increasingly challenging demands for compound amount, which often cannot be met by re-isolation from the respective plant sources. In this regard, existing alternatives for resupply are also discussed, including different biotechnology approaches and total organic synthesis. While the intrinsic complexity of natural product-based drug discovery necessitates highly integrated interdisciplinary approaches, the reviewed scientific developments, recent technological advances, and research trends clearly indicate that natural products will be among the most important sources of new drugs also in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biotechadv.2015.08.001","authors":["Atanas G.

(Family: Plantaginaceae) is a well-recognized Ayurvedic herb. It is commonly called \"Kutki\" or \"Kurro\" and 'Indian gentian'. Iridoid glycosides are the plant's bioactive constituents accountable for the bitter taste and medicinal properties of the plant. The iridoid glycosides such as picrosides and other active metabolites of the plant exhibit many pharmacological activities like hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulator, anti-ulcerative colitis, antimicrobial, etc. This review aims to provide updated information on the ethnobotany, synthetic phytochemistry, pharmacological potential, safety and toxicology of P. kurroa and its active metabolites. Indiscriminate exploitation, ecological destruction of natural habitats, slower plant growth and unawareness regarding cultivation and uprooting of plants have brought kutki an endangered status.

However, preparation of test serum for ex vivo experiment is an intricate process: besides pretreatment (heat or chemicals), it involves the proteolytic cascades of coagulation along with fibrinolysis, complement and kinin systems, as well as platelet and leukocyte activation resulting in release reactions. These processes deviate serum sample components away from the original in vivo state, and possibly also have effects on the absorbed herbal components and their downstream effectors in blood. The conclusions drawn from serum pharmacological method are at least partially uncertain in its validity. These processes can be avoided by anticoagulation. Compared to those of the serum, constituents of plasma are better reflectors of the in vivo physiological/pathological state and medicinal herb-induced changes. Therefore, we have advocated the adoption of plasma pharmacological method in ex vivo experiments of herb studies. Recent studies including our work demonstrated that the constituents and biological activities are partially different between absorbed medicinal herbs in plasma and serum. This review summarizes the experimental evidence supporting the feasibility of plasma pharmacological method and discusses the reasons and facts that flaw the serum pharmacological method. But serum pharmacological method can be used if anticoagulants interfere with experiments. It should be emphasized that the domination between plasma and serum pharmacological methods is different depending on the usage.

In addition, chicory herb plays a key role as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative, immunological, productive and reproductive enhancer, cardiovascular, hypolipidemic, anticancer, anti-protozoal, gastroprotective, antidiabetic, analgesic, anthelmintic, antimicrobial, wound healing and bitter tonic without inducing therapeutic adverse effect. Regarding the hepatoprotective activity, chicory extract reduced the levels of hepatic enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Also, chicory plant is a good and very important protective source for hepatocytes and other liver cells as well as it is used as prebiotic against some species of pathogenic bacteria for both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, it enhances immunity and feed efficiency by decreasing pathogenic microorganisms of gastrointestinal tract. Cichorium intybus roots also were used for the relief of mild digestive disorders, such as feeling of flatulence, abdominal fullness, temporary loss of appetite and slow digestion.

Comprehensive, systematic research into network pharmacology is consistent with the perspective of holisticity, which is a main characteristic of many TMs. By means of network pharmacology, research has demonstrated that many a TM show a synergistic effect by acting at different levels on multiple targets and pathways. This approach effectively bridges the gap between modern medicine and TM, and it greatly facilitates studies into the synergistic actions of TMs. There are different kinds of synergistic effects with TMs, such as synergy among herbs, effective parts, and pure compounds; however, for various reasons, new drug discovery should at present focus on synergy among pure compounds.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules22071135","authors":["Hai-Dan Yuan","Qianqian Ma","Heying Cui","Guancheng Liu","Xiaoyan Zhao","Wei Li","Guangchun Piao"],"tags":["Pharmacology","Chemistry","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-07-07","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules22071135","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2606258436","name":"A Network-Based Pharmacology Study of the Herb-Induced Liver Injury Potential of Traditional Hepatoprotective Chinese Herbal Medicines","source":"openalex","abstract":"Herbal medicines are widely used for treating liver diseases and generally regarded as safe due to their extensive use in Traditional Chinese Medicine practice for thousands of years. However, in recent years, there have been increased concerns regarding the long-term risk of Herb-Induced Liver Injury (HILI) in patients with liver dysfunction. Herein, two representative Chinese herbal medicines: one—Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT)—a composite formula, and the other—Radix Polygoni Multiflori (Heshouwu)—a single herb, were analyzed by network pharmacology study. Based on the network pharmacology framework, we exploited the potential HILI effects of XCHT and Heshouwu by predicting the molecular mechanisms of HILI and identified the potential hepatotoxic ingredients in XCHT and Heshouwu. According to our network results, kaempferol and thymol in XCHT and rhein in Heshouwu exhibit the largest number of liver injury target connections, whereby CASP3, PPARG and MCL1 may be potential liver injury targets for these herbal medicines. This network pharmacology assay might serve as a useful tool to explore the underlying molecular mechanism of HILI. Based on the theoretical predictions, further experimental verification should be performed to validate the accuracy of the predicted interactions between herbal ingredients and protein targets in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules22040632","authors":["Ming Hong","Sha Li","Hor Tan","Fan Cheung","Ning Wang","Jihan Huang","Yibin Feng"],"tags":["Medicine","Herb","Traditional medicine","Liver injury","Traditional Chinese medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-04-14","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules22040632","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W3049502358","name":"Integrated network pharmacology and metabolomics to dissect the combination mechanisms of Bupleurum chinense DC-Paeonia lactiflora Pall herb pair for treating depression","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2020.113281","authors":["Xiao Li","Xuemei Qin","Junsheng Tian","Xiaoxia Gao","Guanhua Du","Yuzhi Zhou"],"tags":["Metabolomics","Herb","Paeonia lactiflora","Metabolic pathway","Pharmacology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-15","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2020.113281","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2576792242","name":"A review article on phytochemistry and pharmacological profiles of Nardostachys jatamansi DC-medicinal herb","source":"openalex","abstract":"Nardostachys jatamansi [Family Valerianaceae] is a perennial herb found in Alpine Himalayas.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 6 equal groups. Group 1 was a negative control and the other groups were rendered obese by feeding rats on high-fat diet for 4 weeks. The obese rats were subcutaneously injected with alloxan for 5*days to induce diabetes. Group 2 was a positive control, and Groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 were orally given CAE in doses 200 and 400 mg/kg and GAE in the same doses, respectively for 6 weeks. Blood samples were collected for serum biochemical analyses. Kidneys were dissected out to assay activity of tissue antioxidant enzymes: Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase. RESULTS: CAE and GAE significantly reduced body weight and body fat mass; normalized serum levels of liver enzymes; improved lipid profile; decreased blood glucose and leptin and increased insulin serum levels in obese diabetic rats. Both extracts also increased activity of kidney antioxidant enzymes. CONCLUSION: CAE and GAE exhibit anti-obesity, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, antidiabetic and anti-oxidant effects in obese diabetic rats. These results confirm the previous reports on both extracts. The potential mechanisms underlying these effects are fully discussed and clarified. Our results affirm the traditional use of cinnamon and ginger for treating patients suffering from obesity and diabetes. The obese diabetic rat model used in this study is a novel animal model used in pharmacology researches.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5455/jice.20140818050741","authors":["Mostafa Shalaby","Hamed Yahya Saifan"],"tags":["Diabetes mellitus","Glutathione peroxidase","Antioxidant","Internal medicine","Alloxan"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.5455/jice.20140818050741","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W3121394754","name":"Pharmacological properties of medicinal herbs by focus on secondary metabolites","source":"openalex","abstract":"Use of herbs based drugs and chemicals for treating various diseases are as old as human civilization.

There is also an increasing interest in medicinal herbs as precursor for pharmacological actives. Of serious concern is the concurrent consumption of herbal products and conventional drugs. Herb-drug interaction (HDI) is the single most important clinical consequence of this practice. Using a structured assessment procedure, the evidence of HDI presents with varying degree of clinical significance. While the potential for HDI for a number of herbal products is inferred from non-human studies, certain HDIs are well established through human studies and documented case reports. Various mechanisms of pharmacokinetic HDI have been identified and include the alteration in the gastrointestinal functions with consequent effects on drug absorption; induction and inhibition of metabolic enzymes and transport proteins; and alteration of renal excretion of drugs and their metabolites. Due to the intrinsic pharmacologic properties of phytochemicals, pharmacodynamic HDIs are also known to occur. The effects could be synergistic, additive, and/or antagonistic. Poor reporting on the part of patients and the inability to promptly identify HDI by health providers are identified as major factors limiting the extensive compilation of clinically relevant HDIs. A general overview and the significance of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic HDI are provided, detailing basic mechanism, and nature of evidence available. An increased level of awareness of HDI is necessary among health professionals and drug discovery scientists. With the increasing number of plant-sourced pharmacological actives, the potential for HDI should always be assessed in the non-clinical safety assessment phase of drug development process. More clinically relevant research is also required in this area as current information on HDI is insufficient for clinical applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2012.00069","authors":["Pius S.

Standardization of the extract prepared from the berry and flowers of the plant is required according to its oligomeric procyanidins. C. oxyacantha is well-known for its use in the treatment of various heart problems particularly, including heart failure in cases of declining cardiac performance equivalent to stages I and II of the New York Heart Association classification, angina pectoris, hypertension with myocardial insufficiency, mild alterations of cardiac rhythm, and atherosclerosis. C. oxyacantha has been reported to exert several other pharmacological activities such as hypotensive, antihyperlipidemic, antihyperglycemic, anxiolytic, immunomodulatory, and antimutagenic. Oligomeric procyanidins and flavone/flavonol types of flavonoids, which are considered to be the chief groups of active substances, phenolic acids, triterpenes, fatty acids, and sterols are present in the plant. The present review aims mainly to outline cardiotonic effect of C. oxyacantha as well as its brief phytochemistry. Numerous experiments and clinical studies have underlined cardiovascular efficacy of the plant through various mechanisms including positive inotropic and negative chronotropic effects, escalation in coronary blood flow and exercise tolerance, inhibition of the enzymes such as angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) and phosphodiesterase, anti-inflammatory and antihyperlipidemic effects, improving status of antioxidant enzymes, etc., which support its cardioactive efficacy. The plant possesses several other bioactivities for human health usually concomitant to its rich polyphenolic content.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0929867323666160919095519","authors":["İlkay Erdoğan Orhan"],"tags":["Phytochemical","Chronotropic","Crataegus","Traditional medicine","Pharmacology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-23","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.2174/0929867323666160919095519","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2073555486","name":"A characteristic pharmacological action of ‘Yang-invigorating’ Chinese tonifying herbs: Enhancement of myocardial ATP-generation capacity","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2006.02.007","authors":["Kyungtae Ko","T.Y.Y.

We conduct the study to ascertain the relative molecular targets of effective Chinese herbs in treating stage IV breast cancer. Survival benefit of CHM was verified by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis. A bivariate correlation analysis was used to find and establish the effect of herbs in complex CHM formulas. A network pharmacological approach was adopted to explore the potential mechanisms of CHM. Patients in the CHM group had a median survival time of 55 months, which was longer than the 23 months of patients in the non-CHM group. Cox regression analysis indicated that CHM was an independent protective factor. Correlation analysis showed that 10 herbs were strongly correlated with favorable survival outcomes ( P <0.01). Bioinformatics analyses suggested that the 10 herbs might achieve anti-breast cancer activity primarily through inhibiting HSP90, ERα and TOP-II related pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.15351","authors":["Yu Mao","Jian Hao","Ziqi Jin","Yangyang Niu","Xue Yang","Dan Liu","Rui Cao","Xiong-Zhi Wu"],"tags":["Medicine","Breast cancer","Cancer","Oncology","Chinese herbs"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-02-15","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.18632/oncotarget.15351","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W4289253948","name":"Herbs, spices and medicinal plants—Recent advances in botany, horticulture and pharmacology","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/0020-711x(87)90150-9","authors":[],"tags":["Medicinal plants","Medicinal herbs","Traditional medicine","Biology","Botany"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"1987-01-01","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.1016/0020-711x(87","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2017469741","name":"The pharmacological activity of medical herbs after microbiological decontamination by irradiation","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0969-806x(99)00444-2","authors":["H.B.

Supplementation with carotenoids can affect cell growth and modulate gene expression and immune responses. Epidemiological studies have shown a correlation between a high carotenoid intake in the diet with a reduced risk of breast, cervical, ovarian, colorectal cancers, and cardiovascular and eye diseases. Cancer chemoprevention by dietary carotenoids involves several mechanisms, including effects on gap junctional intercellular communication, growth factor signalling, cell cycle progression, differentiation-related proteins, retinoid-like receptors, antioxidant response element, nuclear receptors, AP-1 transcriptional complex, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, carotenoids can stimulate the proliferation of B- and T-lymphocytes, the activity of macrophages and cytotoxic T-cells, effector T-cell function and the production of cytokines. Recently, the beneficial effects of carotenoid-rich vegetables and fruits in health and in decreasing the risk of certain diseases has been attributed to the major carotenoids, β-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, crocin (/crocetin) and curcumin, due to their antioxidant effects. It is thought that carotenoids act in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In this review, we briefly describe the biological and immunological activities of the main carotenoids used for the treatment of various diseases and their possible mechanisms of action.

It has been defined as a disorder characterized by inflammation, compromised immunity, hormone dependence, and neuroangiogenesis. Unfortunately, the mechanisms of endometriosis have not yet been fully elucidated, and available treatment methods are currently limited. The discovery of new therapeutic drugs and improvements in existing treatment schemes remain the focus of research initiatives. Chinese medicine can improve the symptoms associated with endometriosis. Many Chinese herbal medicines could exert anti-endometriosis effects via comprehensive interactions with multiple targets. However, these interactions have not been defined. This study used association rule mining and systems pharmacology to discover a method by which potential anti-endometriosis herbs can be investigated. We analyzed various combinations and mechanisms of action of medicinal herbs to establish molecular networks showing interactions with multiple targets. The results showed that endometriosis treatment in Chinese medicine is mainly based on methods of supplementation with blood-activating herbs and strengthening qi. Furthermore, we used network pharmacology to analyze the main herbs that facilitate the decoding of multiscale mechanisms of the herbal compounds. We found that Chinese medicine could affect the development of endometriosis by regulating inflammation, immunity, angiogenesis, and other clusters of processes identified by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway analyses. The anti-endometriosis effect of Chinese medicine occurs mainly through nervous system-associated pathways, such as the serotonergic synapse, the neurotrophin signaling pathway, and dopaminergic synapse, among others, to reduce pain. Chinese medicine could also regulate VEGF signaling, toll-like reporter signaling, NF-κB signaling, MAPK signaling, PI3K-Akt signaling, and the HIF-1 signaling pathway, among others. Synergies often exist in herb pairs and herbal prescriptions. In conclusion, we identified some important targets, target pairs, and regulatory networks, using bioinformatics and data mining. The combination of data mining and network pharmacology may offer an efficient method for drug discovery and development from herbal medicines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2020.00147","authors":["Weilin Zheng","Jiayi Wu","Jiangyong Gu","Heng Weng","Jie Wang","Tao Wang","Xuefang Liang","Lixing Cao"],"tags":["Endometriosis","KEGG","Systems pharmacology","Traditional Chinese medicine","Medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-06","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2020.00147","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W2042096295","name":"Foeniculum vulgare: A comprehensive review of its traditional use, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and safety","source":"openalex","abstract":"Foeniculum vulgare (Apiaceae) commonly known as fennel is a well known and important medicinal and aromatic plant widely used as carminative, digestive, lactogogue and diuretic and in treating respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders.

This study aims to test the \"Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi\" rule with the QiShenYiQi formula (QSYQ) on treating acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) by a network pharmacology approach. METHODS: An Acute Myocardial Ischemia (AMI) specific Organism Disturbed Network (AMI-ODN), was constructed by integrating data of disease-associated genes, protein-protein interaction and microarray experiments. A network-based index, Network Recovery Index for Organism Disturbed Network (NRI-ODN), was developed to measure the therapeutic efficacy of QSYQ and its ingredients, i.e., the ability to recover disturbed AMI network model back to normal state. RESULTS: The whole formula of QSYQ got a NRI-ODN score of 864.48, which outperformed all individual herbs. Additionally, the primary component herbs, Radix Astragalus membranaceus and Radix Salvia miltiorrrhiza showed NRI-DON score of 680.27 and 734.31 respectively, which meant a better performance to recover disturbed AMI network than the supplementary component herbs, Panax notoginseng and Dalbergia sissoo did (545.76 and 584.88, respectively).

Case reports and clinical studies have highlighted the existence of a number of clinically important interactions, although cause-and-effect relationships have not always been established. Herbs and drugs may interact either pharmacokinetically or pharmacodynamically. Through induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes and/or P-glycoprotein, some herbal products (e.g. St John's wort) have been shown to lower the plasma concentration (and/or the pharmacological effect) of a number of conventional drugs, including cyclosporine, indinavir, irinotecan, nevirapine, oral contraceptives and digoxin. The majority of such interactions involves medicines that require regular monitoring of blood levels. To date there is less evidence relating to the pharmacodynamic interaction.

Superior clinical efficacy observations based on high dosages (≥60 g) motivated us to explore appropriate dosages and the underlying mechanisms of action. AIM OF THE STUDY: To explore the efficacy and potential mechanisms of actions of SH through in vitro and in vivo experiments and network pharmacology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: SH lyophilized powder (SHLP) was prepared from decoctions and the active ingredients were identified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Proliferation and migration experiments in vitro and tumor growth in vivo were performed to evaluate the effects of SHLP on breast cancer. Corresponding potential target genes for SHLP components and breast cancer were extracted from established databases and the Protein-Protein Internetwork of shared genes were constructed using STRING database. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional annotation clusters were acquired and the top 30 pathways were presented. At last, as one of pathways indicated by enriched results, apoptosis was validated with flow cytometric analysis and caspase-3, 8, 9 activities. RESULTS: Seventy-five ingredients were identified from SHLP by HPLC. High SHLP doses inhibited proliferation and migration of three types of breast cancer cells in vitro and tumor growth in nude mice. After target genes extraction and intersection, the top 30 KEGG clusters were enriched, including PI3K-Akt, cell cycle and other related pathways like VEGF, Micro-RNAs and NF-κB, besides, key genes in apoptosis were mapped. In the last, apoptosis was validated by flow cytometric analysis and caspase-3, 8, 9 activities after SHLP treatment. CONCLUSION: High SHLP dosages inhibited breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, enriched by network pharmacology and confirmed by flow cytometric analysis and caspase activation, with apoptosis was identified as one of the mechanisms of action of SHLP. SHLP administration with higher doses is recommended for clinical usage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2020.112929","authors":["Tingting Ma","Gan‐Lin Zhang","Cun-Fang Dai","Bo-Ran Zhang","Kexin Cao","Chunguo Wang","Guowang Yang","Xiaomin Wang"],"tags":["KEGG","Apoptosis","PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway","In vivo","Breast cancer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-15","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.911Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2020.112929","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"oa:W54444533","name":"Therapeutic uses of Ocimum sanctum Linn (Tulsi) with a note on eugenol and its pharmacological actions: a short review.","source":"openalex","abstract":"The medicinal plants are widely used by the traditional medical practitioners for curing various diseases in their day to day practice.

Eugenol (1-hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-allylbenzene), the active constituent present in Ocimum sanctum L., has been found to be largely responsible for the therapeutic potentials of Tulsi. Although because of its great therapeutic potentials and wide occurrence in India the practitioners of traditional systems of medicine have been using Ocimum sanctum L. for curing various ailments, a rational approach to this traditional medical practice with modern system of medicine is, however, not much available. In order to establish the therapeutic uses of Ocimum sanctum L. in modern medicine, in last few decades several Indian scientists and researchers have studied the pharmacological effects of steam distilled, petroleum ether and benzene extracts of various parts of Tulsi plant and eugenol on immune system, reproductive system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, gastric system, urinary system and blood biochemistry and have described the therapeutic significance of Tulsi in management of various ailments.

Constituents such as flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and phenolics provide antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating effects. These structures enable free radical scavenging, UV protection, collagen stabilization, and modulation of inflammation, supporting uses in hair growth, skin lightening, nail strengthening, and odor control. Evidence spans in vitro assays (coffeeberry, tea tree, garlic), in vivo studies (calendula, bergamot, ginseng), and clinical trials (soy, aloe, rosehip) showing benefits in wound healing, hydration, tone, and acne reduction.

Although these vegetable materials are naturally rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, terpenes, and organosulfur compounds, their efficacy is often constrained by poor bioavailability, instability, or metabolic inactivation in the human body. Controlled microbial fermentation offers a promising approach to overcome these limitations by promoting the biotransformation of complex phytochemicals into more bioactive, soluble, or absorbable forms, thereby enhancing their physiological impact. This chapter includes a comprehensive overview of traditional, advanced, and assisted separation techniques used to isolate bioactive constituents, as well as hybrid and specialized methodologies. It also addresses key variables that influence the phytochemical profiles of herbs and spices prior to fermentation. Illustrative case studies involving turmeric, ginger, garlic, clove, and oregano are discussed to demonstrate how fermentation can reduce antinutritional factors and increase the release or synthesis of health-promoting metabolites. Microbial species such as lactic acid bacteria, Saccharomyces spp., and Bacillus spp. are analyzed in terms of their functional roles and process requirements. This chapter concludes with an evaluation of current applications in functional foods, fermented beverages, and dietary supplements that must be considered for their industrial implementation. Special emphasis is placed on the role of fermentation in expanding access to bioavailable, evidence-based botanical products with potential public health benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.1013002","authors":["Raquel Gómez-Pliego","Judith Espinosa-Raya","Hulme Ríos-Guerra","Jair Alejandro Temis-Cortina"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-02T14:23:32Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.5772/intechopen.1013002","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/2994399x.2025.2467461","name":"Review of ethnomedicinal uses and phytopharmacology of herbs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/2994399x.2025.2467461","authors":["Vijeth Nagesh Bhat","Bincy Raj"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-28T07:52:23Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1080/2994399x.2025.2467461","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420028119-8","name":"Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Quality Control of Selected Popular Asian Herbs in the U.S. Market","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420028119-8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-11T09:01:11Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420028119-8","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23880/apct-16000212","name":"Effect of Concurrent Administration of Herbs on the Pharmacokinetics of Drugs: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Herbal medicines are currently in high demand, and their popularity is steadily increasing as an alternative medicine. This is as a result of their perceived effectiveness, fewer side effects and relatively low cost. They are being used simultaneously with therapeutic drugs for the treatment and management of numerous medical conditions, but due to the complex mixture of bioactive constituents they are capable of affecting the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of conventional drugs when administered concurrently. Of serious concern is the concurrent consumption of herbal products and conventional drugs. Herb–drug inter-action (HDI) is the single most important clinical consequence of this practice. Using a structured assessment procedure, the evidence of HDI presents with varying degree of clinical significance. While the potential for HDI for a number of herbal products is inferred from non-human studies, certain HDIs are well established through human studies and documented case reports. This herb-drug interactions (HDIs) may lead to modifications in plasma drug levels resulting in therapeutic failure of the drug or, alternatively, it may cause drug-induced toxicity. The main routes proposed for HDIs include cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-mediated inhibition or induction and transport and flow proteins. In our review, some herbal medicines used for the treatment of various diseases were highlighted and case reports of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics herb-drug interactions were analyzed. Therefore, this review can be a quick reference tool for physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in therapy, and counseling towards appropriate use of drugs to maximize clinical outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23880/apct-16000212","authors":["Julius Olugbenga Soyinka"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-15T04:46:11Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.23880/apct-16000212","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_19","name":"Panax ginseng 人参 (Renshen, Ginseng)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_19","authors":["Yuqing Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-16T08:20:30Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_19","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2014.00142","name":"Patient safety and the widespread use of herbs and supplements","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2014.00142","authors":["Samantha M.

This disease is fatal and is spread all over the world. The Scientist are working day and night to find vaccine or a cure. World Health Organisation has declared COVID-19 as pandemic [1]. In the view of the pandemic many treatments are being tried on the patients and various treatment modalities are being followed, the traditional medicine has shown a major role to manage this disease. The traditional medicines include the use of herbs, nutrition and spices that are freely available in Asian countries. These are used in day to day life by Asian population [2]. In this paper we have compiled and reviewed the role of various herbs and spices such as Oregano, Ashwagandha, Ginseng, Basil, Sage, Curcumin, Fenugreek, Ginger and Garlic in building immunity and also in curing pathogenic invasions based on evidence based researches. As there is no cure available for COVID-19 till now so supportive therapy is playing a major role for the patients to fight with this pandemic. The AYUSH ministry has also promoted the use of above herbs for a patient suffering from this disease. The corona virus is present in respiratory system as shown by different studies and it has different strains. The guidelines laid by the ICMR and WHO shows that use of herbs, spices and nutrients can be helpful to manage this virus by increasing the immunity in patients. Hence we are not claiming any cures but the herbs and spices used in day to day life are very much effective in management of COVID-19. World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognised the use of alternative and traditional medicine in the management of COVID-19 but the herbs should be used in prescribed amounts and overdose of them can be harmful for health [1,3]. Therefore the present article will enlighten the readers about the role of herbs, spices and nutrients in improving the conditions in COVID-19.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202009.0026.v1","authors":["Luxita Sharma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-09-02T03:57:52Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202009.0026.v1","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4018/979-8-3373-5876-5","name":"Pharmacology, Characterizations, Toxicity, and Herb-Drug Interactions of Herbs in Traditional Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4018/979-8-3373-5876-5","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-25T21:52:36Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.4018/979-8-3373-5876-5","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003580782-16","name":"Herbs Promoting Blood Circulation and Dissolving Blood Stasis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003580782-16","authors":["You-Ping Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-06T16:11:26Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003580782-16","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.34172/jhp.2020.39","name":"Medicinal herbs with anti-depressant effects","source":"crossref","abstract":"Depression is a life-threatening chronic illness which affects people worldwide. Drugs used to treat this disease have multiple side effects and may cause drug-drug or drug-food interactions. Additionally, only 30% of patients respond adequately to the existing drugs and the remaining do not achieve complete recovery. Thus, finding effective treatments that have adequate efficacy, fewer side effects and lower cost seem to be necessary. The purpose of this study was to review animal and double-blind clinical studies on the anti-depressant effects of medicinal herbs. In this study, validated scientific articles indexed in PubMed, SID, Web of Science and Scopus databases were reviewed. A database search was performed using the following terms: clinical trials, depression, major depressive disorder, essential oil, extract and medicinal plant. Positive effects of a number of herbs and their active compounds such as St John’s-wort, saffron, turmeric, ginkgo, chamomile, valerian, Lavender, Echium amoenum and Rhodiola rosea L. in improvement of symptoms of mild, moderate or major depression have been shown in clinical trials. The above plants show antidepressant effects and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs. Hence, they have the potential to treat patients with depression.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34172/jhp.2020.39","authors":["Mahbubeh Setorki"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-07-13T05:27:55Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.34172/jhp.2020.39","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_36","name":"Chaenomeles speciosa 木瓜 (Mugua, Flowering Quince)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_36","authors":["Caifang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-16T08:20:30Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_36","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4268/cjcmm20102328","name":"In silico pharmacology of Chinese herbs for chronic kidney diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4268/cjcmm20102328","authors":["ZHU Wei"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-01-28T07:45:30Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.4268/cjcmm20102328","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_16","name":"Morinda officinalis How 巴戟天 (Bajitian)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_16","authors":["Ping Ding"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-16T08:20:30Z","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-211-99448-1_16","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3923/ijp.2010.616.623","name":"The Role of Medicinal Herbs in Angiogenesis Related Diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3923/ijp.2010.616.623","authors":["H.B.

strategies of traditional Chinese medicine for chronic heart failure: from active ingredients to herbal formulations.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Chronic heart failure (CHF) remains a global health challenge with complex pathological mechanisms, including inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, myocardial remodeling, ferroptosis, and autophagy. Despite some progress in modern medicine for the treatment of CHF, challenges remain, including insufficient therapeutic efficacy and significant side effects. In this context, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), characterized by its multi-component, multi-target, and holistic regulatory properties, demonstrates potential advantages in the prevention and treatment of CHF. This paper summarizes the research progress of active ingredients from Chinese medicinal herbs, single herbs, and traditional Chinese herbal formulations in addressing key pathological mechanisms related to CHF. These mechanisms include inflammation and oxidative stress, mitochondrial quality and energy metabolism disorders, myocardial remodeling, ferroptosis, and autophagy abnormalities. A multi-target framework is constructed by linking active ingredients from Chinese medicinal herbs, the signaling pathways they regulate, and the corresponding pathological mechanisms involved in CHF. Further integrating the classification background of HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF, this paper analyzes the potential differential focal roles of TCM-related mechanisms across different heart failure subtypes and pathological processes, and discusses existing problems in current research in the aspects of evidence hierarchy, druggability of active components, quality control, and clinical translation, as well as other related fields. This paper aims to provide a reference for subsequent research on TCM-based prevention and treatment of CHF.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jpp/rgag072","authors":["Yingying Wang","Li Li","Min He","Ke Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1093/jpp/rgag072","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-9420486/v1","name":"TCMCPD: An Integrated TCM Case and Pharmacology Database","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9420486/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9420486/v1","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.427Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/nss.s582222","name":"Network Pharmacology-Based Elucidation of Gu's Anshen Decoction in Modulating TNF Signaling to Ameliorate Insomnia.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/nss.s582222","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.2147/nss.s582222","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/14786419.2026.2711962","name":"Integrative analysis of Huangjing-Gegen compatibility in treating COPD: a network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14786419.2026.2711962","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1080/14786419.2026.2711962","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.122214","name":"Gastroprotective effect of Daphniphyllum calycinum Benth.-Polygonum hydropiper L. against gastric mucosal injury through autophagy activation and apoptosis suppression.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.122214","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.122214","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158631","name":"Bupleuri radix total saikosaponins alleviate liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation via SIRT3-SMAD3/HIF-1α -mediated glycolysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158631","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158631","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1817137","name":"JinHuangJieDu (JHJD) formula attenuates SARS-CoV-2 infection by interrupting RBD-ACE2 binding and HIF-1α-dependent inflammation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1817137","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1817137","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202607.1493.v1","name":"Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Uncover Novel Candidate Compound-Target Actions of Yokukansan (Yi-Gan San) in the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202607.1493.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202607.1493.v1","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:57.669Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.arr.2026.103154","name":"Insights of traditional Indian anti-aging herbal beverages, network pharmacology, and perspectives.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Plants have served as important sources of medicine since prehistoric times, forging a strong connection between humans and their environment. This relationship has yielded valuable insights into the therapeutic use of herbs for various health conditions. The current study aims to gather scientific evidence about traditional Indian anti-aging herbal beverages that have been practiced for centuries. We conducted a literature search through online databases, research articles, search engines, and books, covering the period from 2000 to February 2025. We examined 1221 articles and selected 53 from 298 for the most relevant information. The secondary metabolites of these traditional beverages interact with key biological functions and develop polarization with the ability to combat bacteria, reduce inflammation, eliminate harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), and influence aging. Ascorbic acid, kempferol, quercetin, β-carotene, and chlorogenic acid were found in three or more beverages we screened in the present investigation. These beverages contribute to cell functions, lower oxidative stress, prevent chronic diseases, and reduce inflammation. The strong therapeutic potential of these beverages, combined with their low toxicity, has led to widespread public acceptance and highlighted the need for further research. Although certain beverages share common ingredients, understanding their functional molecular mechanisms is limited. Network pharmacological studies have identified a module of 22 nodes linked to the anti-aging effects of these beverages.

These conventional therapies are an essential source of new anti-infective drugs considering antimicrobial resistance threatens global public health. The present review critically appraises the use of medicinal plants against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections in combination with medicinal chemistry and ethnopharmacology. A comprehensive review of ethnobotanical data, phytochemistry and pharmacological studies was performed on the basis of WHO classification of infectious diseases in order to identify repeating medicinal plants and their active ingredients. Over 150 medicinal plants have been discovered by major ethnomedical systems in the course of history and have been used as the remedy of infectious diseases. Essential phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolics and saponins showed broad-spectrum anti-infective activity via mechanisms including membrane damage, enzyme inhibition, oxidative stress regulation and interference with nucleic acid synthesis. Some examples of such successful combination of ethnopharmacology with pharmacology include artemisinin, berberine, andrographolide and glycyrrhizin.

Currently, clinical management of liver cancer faces significant challenges, including elevated postoperative recurrence rates and drug resistance in advanced-stage patients, underscoring an urgent demand for the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies and agents. TCM with its distinct advantages of multi-efficacy, multi-targeted action, and multi-mechanism effect, has long been employed in anti-hepatocellular carcinoma therapy. As the limitations of western medicine in liver cancer treatment become increasingly prominent, active components of TCM monomers and their compound formulas have garnered extensive attention. A growing body of research indicates that flavonoids from TCM possess notable anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid, is widely distributed in various TCM herbs, including Artemisiae Scopariae Herba, Ploygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radlx, Moutan Cortex, Plantaginis Semen, Spreading Hedyotis Herba, Eucommiae Folium, Ginkgo Folium, and Mori Folium. Quercetin exhibits unique advantages and promising application prospects due to its diverse pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-tumor effects. Focusing on the key molecular networks and the tumor microenvironment involved in hepatocarcinogenesis and progression, this review comprehensively synthesized the mechanisms underlying the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects of quercetin, encompassing its regulation of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and apoptosis, modulation of signaling pathways, inhibition of cell migration and invasion, as well as its regulatory roles in tumor metabolism, the microenvironment, and drug resistance. Additionally, the progress in the clinical application of quercetin was systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for the utilization of quercetin in the clinical treatment of liver cancer, facilitate the optimization of its therapeutic regimens, and offer a relevant basis for future in-depth research and clinical translation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42543325/","authors":["Liang JX","Yang X","Li R","Zhao RX","Cui HY","Wang XH","Ren R","Jiang ZQ","Shao MY"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42543296","name":"[Research progress in phthalides in medicinal species of Apiaceae and their pharmacological activities].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Plants of Apiaceae represent an important group of Chinese medicinal herbs.

This article systematically reviews recent advances in the chemical structures and pharmacological activities of phthalides derived from medicinal species of Apiaceae. To date, 295 phthalides have been isolated and identified from these plants, and they can be categorized into four structural types: monomeric phthalides, dimeric phthalides, trimeric phthalides, and phthalide heteropolymers. This article comprehensively discussed the structural diversity of dimeric and trimeric phthalides, including various [2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition coupling modes and their proposed biosynthetic pathways. It is noted that enantiomerism is prevalent among these compounds. Specifically, most dimeric phthalides, all trimeric phthalides, and some phthalide heteropolymers and monomeric phthalides have been obtained as racemates. Pharmacological studies have revealed that these compounds exhibit notable neuroprotective, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and cerebrovascular disease-preventing activities. Among them, butylphthalide has been successfully applied in clinical practice.

These herbs collectively exhibit cold, warm, and neutral properties; bitter, sweet, and pungent tastes; and tropism to the liver, lung, and stomach meridians, reflecting a therapeutic strategy that clears heat, resolves dampness, and promotes blood circulation. The core triad Eriobotryae Folium (pipaye, PPY), Mori Cortex (sangbaipi, SBP), and Scutellariae Radix and formulas like Erzhi Pills, Sanhuang Lotion, and Xiaoyao Powder suggest key clinical combinations. Network pharmacology revealed that several biological pathways may play important roles in acne treatment, including pathways in cancer, lipid and atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, and chemical carcinogenesis-receptor activation. These pathways are closely linked to inflammation, sebum metabolism, and oxidative stress-core pathological processes in acne vulgaris. Finally, docking showed quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and wogonin had strong affinities with AKT1, TNF, IL-6, and TP53 (energies < -5.0 kcal/mol). These findings provide a pharmacological basis for the clinical efficacy of the identified herbs and offer directions for further experimental validation.

Following the determination of application concentrations via MTT assay, the modulatory effects of HSP on cellular proliferation, oxidative stress markers (TAS, TOS, and OSI), and key pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and TGF-β) were systematically evaluated. Isolated exposure to BaP predominantly triggered a targeted upregulation of IL-1β; however, hesperidin demonstrated unexpected pro-oxidant dynamics, characterized by a substantial drop in TAS alongside a concurrent elevation in both TOS and OSI profiles, especially at maximum-dose concentrations. Notably, combining BaP with this heightened hesperidin regimen manifested the most severe oxidative distress phenotype, implying a synergistic pro-oxidant cascade between the two agents.

This review systematically elucidates the TCM pathogenesis evolution pattern of \"deficiency leading to stasis, ocular collateral damage\" in diabetic glaucoma and establishes correlation networks between TCM syndrome types and modern pathological mechanisms. Integrating epidemiological evidence, we analyze the core mechanisms of representative Chinese herbs and formulas-including Ginkgo biloba extract, indirubin‑related components, and the Si‑Hua formula-in exerting antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, microcirculation‑improving, and direct neuroprotective effects through regulation of key signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT, Nrf2, and NF‑κB. Importantly, this article employs network pharmacology methods to visually present the synergistic \"component‑target‑pathway\" interaction network of the Si‑Hua formula, and introduces a quantitative comparison of the regulatory intensity of key herbal components on signaling pathways. We also discuss the chemical structures of major secondary metabolites from these herbs and the principles of reverse pharmacology that connect TCM to modern drug discovery. By quantitatively evaluating the regulatory intensity of key herbal components on signaling pathways and exploring the interventional potential of TCM in emerging mechanisms like ferroptosis (Figure 9), this review aims to establish a comprehensive scientific framework for TCM prevention and treatment of diabetic glaucoma, providing solid academic support for the modernization and internationalization of TCM.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42470246/","authors":["Liu J","Yu Y","Hu C","Cheng F","Feng C","Bao J","Yu X","Xia Z","Ding R","Li Z","Chen J","Zhou J","Zhang H","Li X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 18","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42470003","name":"Elucidating the mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction in the treatment of ischemic stroke: A network pharmacology and molecular docking study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"A large number of functional disorders and uncomfortable symptoms often remain following ischemic stroke (IS). Existing drug therapy is not ideal for the direct improvement of symptoms, which often leads to poor patient compliance with physical rehabilitation therapy. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) is a famous prescription that is effective in treating IS, especially during the sequela stage of IS. We analyzed the therapeutic mechanism of BYHWD through network pharmacology. This study aims to investigate the potential active ingredients, targets, and signaling pathways of BYHWD for the treatment of IS, utilizing network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. The active ingredients of 7 Chinese herbs in BYHWD were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and HERB databases, and IS-related disease targets were searched in the DisGeNET, GeneCards, and OMIM databases. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the STRING database and analyzed by Cytoscape 3.10.2 software. Additionally, the target genes were uploaded to the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery website for Gene Ontology alongside Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses. With the assistance of AutoDockTools and PyMOL software (Schrödinger, Inc.), a validation of molecular docking results and a visualization of the results were performed. The results showed that there were 190 intersection targets between the active drug components and IS, corresponding to 61 active components, among which the top 5 target genes were tumor suppressor protein 53, Jun proto-oncogene, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, and estrogen receptor alpha. The PI3K-Akt signaling pathway is one of the top 10 pathways. The molecular docking results indicated that most of the top 5 targets had good affinities for the 8 core compounds. This computational analysis suggests that BYHWD may treat IS through multiple targets and pathways. It may play a neuroprotective role by regulating the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and vascular endothelial homeostasis. The identification of core effective components provides a theoretical foundation and candidate compounds for further investigation into new drugs for the treatment of sequelae after IS.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42470003/","authors":["Shi T","Chen Z","Wang M","Chen D"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 17","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42468371","name":"Synergistic mechanism of salt-processed Anemarrhenae Rhizoma on type 2 diabetes via gut microbiota and metabolic regulation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Salt processing, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing technique, entails stir-frying herbs with salt water.

The present study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of SD in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced depressive disorder and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. An LPS‑induced male mouse model of depressive‑like behavior was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanisms of SD. The mRNA levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines and the activation state of microglia in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were assessed. In addition, high‑throughput RNA sequencing was performed as an unbiased transcriptomic screen to identify differentially expressed genes. Western blotting and ELISA assays were then used to validate the expression and activation levels of key candidate molecules within the identified pathways. BV‑2 cell line was utilized to assess the aerobic glycolysis in vitro by metabolic extracellular flux analysis. Finally, the selective C3aR antagonist SB290157 was administered to determine whether the effects of SD depended on the downstream C3a/C3aR signaling cascade. SD treatment significantly increased the sucrose preference and reduced immobility time in both the tail suspension test and the forced swimming test in LPS‑treated mice. Mechanistically, SD attenuated LPS‑induced neuroinflammation and microglial activation in the mPFC. High‑throughput RNA sequencing identified C3 and matrix metalloproteinase‑9 as key transcriptional targets potentially involved in the effects of SD. Crucially, both in vitro and in vivo ELISA assays revealed that SD directly suppressed complement C3 activation by inhibiting its proteolytic cleavage into the active C3a fragments. Furthermore, SD reduced abnormal microglial aerobic glycolysis and restored mitochondrial respiration in vitro . By contrast, pharmacological inhibition of C3aR completely abolished protective effects of SD on behavioral despair, anhedonia, neuroinflammation and metabolic reprogramming. These findings indicate that SD alleviates depressive‑like behaviors. The C3a/C3aR signaling axis appears to play a critical role in mediating its anti‑inflammatory and anti‑glycolytic effects.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42464680/","authors":["Lu S","Luo F","Chen N","Shi G","Chen Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Sep","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42463485","name":"Electrochemical Sensor Based on CeO2 Nanozyme-Mediated UiO-66-NH2 Adsorption-Catalysis Synergistic Nanosystem for Rutin Detection in Chinese Medicinal Materials.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Rutin (Rut) is a bioactive flavonoid widely found in buckwheat, sophora flowers, ginkgo leaves and various traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.

This study investigated whether Lonicerae japonicae flos polyphenols (LJP) could exert protective effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice. Methods : Eighty-four male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into seven groups and treated daily for 7 days with LJP (200, 100, or 50 mg/kg), liproxstatin-1 (10 mg/kg), dexamethasone (5 mg/kg), or saline (control and model groups).

This critical evaluation synthesizes 17 studies examining how different drying technologies influence the release behaviour, bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of polyphenols in dried fruits, vegetables, and herbs using in vitro gastrointestinal digestion models. Across matrices, the oral phase contributed minimally to polyphenol release, whereas the gastric phase generally represented the main liberation step. The intestinal phase displayed compound-dependent behaviour, acting either as a secondary release stage for bound or matrix-associated phenolics or as a stage of degradation and reduced recovery for anthocyanins and other labile flavonoids. Phenolic acids were generally the most digestion-recoverable polyphenols, while flavan-3-ols, flavonols, and anthocyanin derivatives showed greater dependence on matrix structure, oxidation, glycosylation/acylation, and pH stability. Drying methods that balanced moderate structural disruption with low oxygen exposure, such as vacuum, microwave-vacuum, ultrasound-assisted vacuum, infrared, and low-temperature vacuum drying, often improved bioaccessibility compared with conventional hot-air or freeze-drying methods, although matrix-specific exceptions occurred. Measured antioxidant activity reflects not only total polyphenol release but also compound transformations, degradation products, and the inherent sensitivity of the analytical assay.

This study represents the first analysis of THB against C. glabrata based on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and offers preliminary insights into the molecular mechanism of action through transcriptomic sequencing. The results demonstrated that the MIC of THB against C. glabrata was 1.77 µg/mL. Transcriptomic sequencing revealed 785 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following treatment of C. glabrata with THB, with 332 genes significantly upregulated and 453 genes significantly downregulated. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the DEGs were primarily associated with cellular processes, metabolic pathways, and cellular component (CC) organization or biogenesis. Additionally, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that these DEGs were primarily enriched in pathways related to translation, carbon metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and energy metabolism. qRT-PCR results confirmed similar expression patterns for mak16, brx1, CAGL0C03223g, and CAGL0E05984g as observed in the RNA-Seq analysis.

Conventional Western medicines, which typically target individual molecules or pathways, may have limitations in comprehensively halting disease progression and can be associated with adverse effects. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) employs a holistic treatment strategy based on a \"multi-component, multi-target, multi-pathway\" principle (eg, Shenfu Injection, Linggui Zhugan Decoction), which may align more closely with the multifaceted pathophysiology of HF. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the therapeutic benefits of TCM have remained largely unclear, and most existing evidence is correlative rather than causal. Metabolomics, with its inherent strengths for holistic and dynamic analysis, offers a methodological framework for investigating the comprehensive effects and potential mechanisms of TCM interventions in HF. This review outlines the evolution of metabolomics technology platforms and their complementary applications in tackling the chemical complexity of TCM formulations, interpreting in vivo metabolic responses, and revealing spatial metabolic heterogeneity. The convergence of these technologies provides a foundation for a research paradigm centered on \"problem orientation, technology matching, data integration, and hypothesis generation for mechanism elucidation\". Furthermore, this paradigm has suggested potential synergistic mechanisms through which TCM regulates cardiac metabolism across multiple levels-from single active compounds and individual herbs to complex formulae. Collectively, these advances offer a useful reference for future research aimed at improving the precision and broader applicability of TCM in HF management, although most metabolomic findings remain associative and require validation through flux analysis, intervention studies, or clinical endpoint trials.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42404706/","authors":["Chen MT","Jiang Y","Yang SY","Cheng SQ","Wan ZX","Wu JW","Jiang H","Li YY","Luo G","Liu MN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42392802","name":"[Traditional Chinese medicine understanding and treatment strategy of carotid atherosclerotic plaque with hyperlipidemia].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The prevalence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and hyperlipidemia in China is high and continues to rise.

Identifying novel vulnerabilities is therefore critical to advancing TNBC therapeutics. Mitochondrial metabolism has emerged as a key regulator of cancer cell survival and proliferation, with serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2) playing a central role in mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism by supplying one-carbon units for nucleotide biosynthesis and maintaining redox homeostasis. Despite its established importance in cancer metabolism, the functional role and therapeutic potential of SHMT2 in TNBC remain underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that gambogic acid (GA), a natural product with reported anticancer properties, exerts potent and selective cytotoxicity against TNBC cells by covalently targeting SHMT2. GA binds specifically to the critical cysteine residue Cys241, inhibiting SHMT2 enzymatic activity and disrupting mitochondrial function. This leads to bioenergetic collapse, activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 axis, iron overload, and induction of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential. Our integrative chemoproteomic and mechanistic studies reveal a novel SHMT2-mitochondria-Nrf2/HO-1-ferroptosis axis driving GA's anti-TNBC activity. Moreover, SHMT2 overexpression in TNBC correlates with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis, underscoring its role as a metabolic oncogene and promising drug target.

Sanleng (SL) and Ezhu (EZ), a classic traditional Chinese medicine herb-pair widely used in clinical practice for pulmonary fibrosis, have shown potential in treating IPF, yet their synergistic effects and underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The study aims to elucidate the synergistic therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms behind. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis identified IPF-associated epithelial (IPF-Epi) cells as key contributors to disease pathogenesis, with significant enrichment in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Bulk RNA sequencing combined with network pharmacology approaches further revealed 13 potential therapeutic targets of SL-EZ, with the PI3K-Akt pathway ranked as the top enriched signaling cascade. In vivo validation using a bleomycin-induced murine model of IPF demonstrated that the SL-EZ herb-pair markedly improved lung histopathological architecture, attenuated inflammatory infiltration, and alleviated fibrotic remodeling. Mechanistically, the therapeutic efficacy was associated with the suppression of the hyperactivated PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Notably, combination therapy with SL-EZ exerted superior protective effects compared to either monotherapy, highlighting a synergistic interaction between the two herbs. Collectively, these findings indicate that SL-EZ targets IPF-relevant epithelial cells and ameliorates both inflammatory and fibrotic processes, primarily through modulation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR axis, thereby providing novel mechanistic insights into the therapeutic potential of this traditional herb-pair for IPF.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42362788/","authors":["Zhou X","Liu Z","Tan F","Zhang S","Pan B","Zhang T"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jun 27","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42359768","name":"Integrating 3D Chromatography With Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry to Profile the Chemical Constituents in JTTZ Formula and Investigate Plasma Pharmacokinetic Changes in Obese Rats.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chemical profiling and exposure of multicomponent Chinese medicine formula (CMF) are essential for understanding the multitarget treatment mechanism, as they consist of bioactive substances with varying polarities, molecular weights, and charges.

Cluster analysis was used to find prescription patterns, and the Apriori algorithm (SPSS Modeler 18) was used to find associations. A total of 391 literature-derived prescription records were included in the analysis, involving 189 distinct herbal medicines and a cumulative herb-use frequency of 2031 occurrences. These herbs primarily enter the liver meridian and were categorized as cold, warm, or neutral. The predominant tastes were bitter, pungent, and sweet. Five frequently recorded herbs and 14 co-occurrence patterns among herbs were extracted. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), spleen-stomach deficiencies and damp-heat pathogens are linked to BVD. These medication patterns were mainly associated with heat-clearing, detoxification, spleen-strengthening, and Qi-regulating strategies in TCVM theory. Targets were screened, PPI networks were constructed, and enrichment studies for core herbs (Baitouweng, Huangbo, Huangqin, Qinpi, and Zhizi) were performed using network pharmacology.

In this context, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the investigated fruits were determined, and the presence of selected individual phenolic compounds was quantified. In addition, their antioxidant properties were evaluated by applying the ABTS and DPPH• assays, and their antiproliferative properties were assessed against selected tumor cell lines. Finally, the antiviral properties of fruits were investigated against fourteen common viruses. Respective results highlighted ellagic acid as the prevailing phenolic molecule for six investigated species, whereas several extracts displayed varying levels of antioxidant activities and moderate antiproliferative effects in the tested models. Furthermore, most extracts exhibited an inhibitory effect against Influenza viruses A (H1N1 and H3N2) and B, displaying IC 50 values ranging from 0.6 to 4 μg/mL, comparable to currently used antiviral agents. Finally, the Rubus idaeus and Rosa canina fruit extracts were active against adenovirus-2. Since the bioactivities determined herein are based on single biological replicates, they are considered an indicative lead that provides an initial basis for prioritizing these edible Rosoideae species for future studies, which will involve a more detailed characterization of their bioactive phenolic constituents and more extensive, replicated biological experiments.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42357426/","authors":["Haroutounian SA","Apostolou A","Naesens L","Evergetis E","Liekens S","Myrtsi ED"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jun 10","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42352922","name":"Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the U-Box E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Gene Family Related to Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids Biosynthesis in Uncaria rhynchophylla.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Plant U-box E3 ubiquitin ligases (PUBs) are involved in various biological processes in response to abiotic stress. Recent studies have shown that E3 ubiquitin ligases can regulate the production of important compounds in medicinal plants by targeted degradation of transcription factors. Abscisic acid (ABA), a plant stress response hormone, can cause changes in the content of the medically important monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) in U. rhynchophylla. In this study, we explored the relationship between UrPUB gene expression and MIA content. ABA was applied to tissue-cultured seedlings of U. rhynchophylla , resulting in consistent changes in the content of four MIAs. Seventy-three UrPUB genes were identified and bioinformatically characterized from the genome sequence of U. rhynchophylla . The expression levels of transcription factors involved in regulating the biosynthesis pathway of MIAs and UrPUB genes with higher RNA transcript levels in the roots were determined. Co-expression association analysis revealed that UrPUB17 , UrPUB40 , UrPUB41 , UrPUB44 and UrPUB55 negatively correlate with UrGATA8 and UrWRKY37 under ABA stimulation. Based solely on these correlation data, we hypothesize that these UrPUBs might regulate MIA biosynthesis via ubiquitination of UrGATA8 and UrWRKY37, but direct evidence (protein interaction, ubiquitination, degradation, or genetic manipulation) is lacking. This study identified the UrPUB gene family in the U. rhynchophylla genome and proposes this ubiquitination model as a testable hypothesis, not a demonstrated mechanism.

Chlorpromazine's effective management of psychosis in the early 1950s opened the door for non-surgical therapies, making psychopharmaceuticals the current first-line treatment. While modern psychopharmacology began in the 1950s, the history of psychopharmacology may extend back many years. The concept of treating patients by understanding the cause and healing the mind was also evident during the Islamic Golden Age (ninth to thirteenth century CE). One of the physicians in the field was Rhazes (865-925 CE), also known as Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyya Al-Razi. Rhazes' contributions to both psychiatry and pharmacology make his work a subject for examining the roots of psychopharmacology. This study aims to explore Rhazes' pharmacological approaches for patients with mental illnesses, focusing on the conditions under which he prescribed herbs for neurological, psychological, and psychiatric issues. An analytical approach has been utilized to systematically extract data from Al-Hawi and Liber Almansoris concerning neurological, psychological, psychiatric, and behavioral conditions. For the next phase, another table was created to list each condition alongside its treatment and psychopharmacological classification based on the works of Rhazes. Based on the collected information from Rhazes' Al-Hawi and Liber Almansoris, each of the mentioned neurological, psychological, psychiatric, and behavioral conditions was categorized. Rhazes distinguished between different psychological conditions and avoided using a universal prescription. He also differentiated between conditions that necessitated pharmacological interventions and those that could be effectively addressed through lifestyle modifications, nutritional adjustments, or manual therapy (hands-on therapy techniques like massage for managing musculoskeletal problems). The current historical study indicates that the roots of psychopharmacology can be traced back to the ninth century, during which the physician Rhazes documented various psychological and psychiatric diseases in his works Al-Hawi and Liber Almansoris, along with their natural pharmacological treatments.

Although a range of edible herbs including Licorice (the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra) have been widely used for treating liver diseases, identifying the key anti-CYP1B1 constituents in these herbs and elucidating their mechanisms of action remain challenging. This study presents a comprehensive interdisciplinary framework for discovering CYP1B1 inhibitors from herbal medicines (HMs) via integrating interdisciplinary methodologies. An initial fluorescence-based screening of 65 herbal extracts revealed that licorice aqueous extract (LAE) exhibited potent CYP1B1 inhibitory activity. Docking-based virtual screening predicted 23 phytochemicals in LAE as potential CYP1B1 inhibitors, 18 of which were experimentally confirmed as potent CYP1B1 inhibitors (IC 50 < 1 μM). Further investigations showed that the nine most potent phytochemicals in LAE (IC 50 < 260 nM) inhibited CYP1B1 in a competitive manner, with the K i values below 560 nM. Cellular assays further demonstrated that three of these phytochemicals (glycyrol, licoflavonol, and licochalcone C) effectively blocked intracellular CYP1B1 activity in living cells (IC 50 < 3 μM). Anti-fibrotic assays showed that glycyrol significantly reduced cell migration and downregulated the expression of key fibrotic genes in TGF-β1-stimulated JS-1 cells.

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of cell death characterized by iron dependence and the uncontrollable accumulation of lipid peroxides. Studies have reported that the activity of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in IVDD is influenced by ferroptosis, which is one of the contributing factors to IVDD. As of now, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of KAE in IVDD remain unclear. To elucidate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of KAE in IVDD, we established an in vitro NP cell degeneration model and found that KAE could delay the degeneration process of NP cells. Then we performed transcriptome sequencing and identified that ferroptosis and the p38 MAPK pathway might be potential targets through which KAE exerts its therapeutic effects. Further in vitro experiments revealed that KAE could inhibit ROS production, thereby suppressing the p38 MAPK pathway to delay the progression of NP cell ferroptosis, thus protecting NP cells from degeneration. We then used molecular docking to validate the tight binding of KAE to ferroptosis-related targets. Finally, we further confirmed the potential of KAE in protecting against IVDD in vivo.

This study presents a computational pharmacovigilance framework integrating real-world safety data with graph-based modeling to characterize AE patterns associated with GLP-1 RA therapy and to explore herb-AE associations in an exploratory manner. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of AE reports from the food and drug administration adverse event reporting system (2015-2025). Clinical characteristics included outcomes, reporting frequency, demographics, time-to-onset, and subgroup distributions. Signal detection employed disproportionality metrics and Bayesian approaches. Herb-compound-target-AE networks were constructed using HERB 2.0 and the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, incorporating drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic filtering. Graph convolutional networks were applied to model herb-AE associations, followed by literature-based contextual evaluation. Among 142,705 GLP-1 RA AE reports, 4,090 involved obesity indications. Gastrointestinal events predominated, with 76% of reports involving female patients and onset clustering within 0-30 days. Semaglutide demonstrated a distinct onset distribution, including a higher proportion of late-onset cases (≥ 360 days). Strong signals were detected for biliary, pancreatic, renal, and coagulation events, with semaglutide-associated pairs showing reporting odds ratios > 10, whereas tirzepatide exhibited negative log-transformed reporting odds ratios for several gastrointestinal events. Network analysis and graph convolutional network modeling prioritized established medicinal herbs including Liquorice Root, Mulberry Leaf, Dahurian Angelica Root, Danshen Root, and Ginkgo Leaf as top candidates following degree debiasing and exclusion of non-herbal database entries.

Currently, the mainstream methods for evaluating the anti-inflammatory efficacy of herbs have limitations such as operational complexity, invasiveness and non-real-time, making it urgent to develop a new method for efficacy assessment. Herein, a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe named BXN with long absorption and emission wavelengths was developed for visualizing viscosity in inflammation and evaluating drug efficacy. BXN has a typical D-π-A molecular structure, formed by the conjugation of benz[c,d]indole and xanthene. The fluorescence of BXN is negligible in low-viscosity solvents. Under high viscosity conditions, the maximum absorption of BXN red-shifted to 750 nm, and the fluorescence intensity at 800 nm increased by 84-fold. Meanwhile, BXN towards viscosity exhibits excellent selectivity, sensitivity and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, BXN has enabled the visualization of cell viscosity under different drug stimulation, and can distinguish between normal cells and cancer cells. Based on the NIR emission of BXN, the abnormal increase of viscosity in paw edema mice is confirmed for the first time through fluorescence imaging. More importantly, after treatment with Bryophyllum pinnatum (BP), it is possible to dynamically and intuitively monitor the significant reduction in the viscosity of the foot, further achieving a non-invasive and real-time assessment of the anti-inflammatory effect of herbal BP. In conclusion, BXN not only provides a new tool for the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases, but also establishes a new method for evaluating herbal efficacy in real-time and non-invasive.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42284866/","authors":["Yu Y","Xia C","Wu Y","Zhang L","Zhang X","Wang Y","Long G","Wang W"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Dec 5","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42281526","name":"Ephedrae Herba and Ephedrine on Nervous System: A Comprehensive Review of Pharmacology and Neurotoxicity.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Since Ephedra Herba (ephedra) and its major alkaloid ephedrine were prohibited as dietary supplements due to their adverse effects on the cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS), most studies have focused on their amphetamine-like effects and neurotoxicity.

Under such conditions, players experience greater cardiovascular and thermoregulatory strain, faster glycogen use, higher perceived exertion, and progressive impairment in repeated high-intensity actions and decision-making. These responses have intensified interest in nutritional strategies that might complement heat acclimation, hydration/electrolyte planning, cooling practices, and recovery management. This narrative review critically synthesizes current evidence on nutritional interventions that may be relevant to football performed in the heat, with emphasis on hydration and electrolyte replacement, carbohydrate-protein strategies, taurine, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), creatine, menthol, antioxidant- and nitrate-related approaches, and selected multi-ingredient products. Across the available literature, hydration/electrolyte planning and carbohydrate-protein feeding remain the practical foundation, menthol appears most consistently useful for perceptual cooling, creatine seems safe and potentially helpful for repeated-sprint support, and taurine is promising but still supported by relatively few trials. By contrast, evidence for BCAAs, antioxidants, nitrates, and caffeine as stand-alone heat strategies, as well as for many compound supplements, remains inconsistent, context-specific, or too indirect for strong football-specific endorsement. Overall, the evidence base remains heterogeneous in study quality, protocol design, exercise mode, and sport specificity. A substantial proportion of the available data is derived from cycling, endurance, or laboratory heat-exercise models rather than football-specific trials. Accordingly, any practical recommendation should be interpreted cautiously and embedded within broader heat-management strategies.

Both polysaccharide fractions alleviated TBHP-induced oxidative injury, whereas GLSP-SB exhibited enhanced cytoprotective efficacy. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that GLSP-SB regulated a broader set of proteins associated with mitochondrial organization, oxidative stress response, autophagy, and cellular energy metabolism.

Collectively, this study provides fundamental experimental evidence for quality standard formulation and rational development of multi-origin Clerodendrum medicinal herbs, especially for their clinical application in prescriptions including Shiqi Waigan Granules.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42235855/","authors":["Xia TY","Liu XK","Jiang HL","Xu YB","Wang JW","Feng L","Chen JT","Li ZW","Zhang DD","Peng LH","Qiao WL","Lai M","Guo DA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"pmid:42235811","name":"Osteogenic promotion by naringin through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-mediated activation of autophagy and inhibition of apoptosis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Osteoporosis is a common age-related metabolic bone disease closely associated with osteoblast dysfunction, abnormal apoptosis, and dysregulated autophagy. Naringin, a dihydroflavonoid compound mainly found in citrus fruits and various traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (e.g., Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Rhizoma Drynariae), exhibits potential anti-aging and osteoprotective effects; however, its specific mechanism requires systematic elucidation. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that the core targets of naringin are significantly enriched in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, as well as pathways related to apoptosis and autophagy. Subsequent in vitro experiments demonstrated that naringin promotes osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization; upregulates the expression of osteogenic markers; activates protective autophagy; and inhibits apoptosis. By employing the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and the PI3K/AKT agonist 740Y-P to modulate PI3K/AKT/mTOR-mediated autophagy, we confirmed that the anti-apoptotic effect of naringin is dependent on the activation of autophagy. In vivo, naringin administration inhibited the excessive activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, enhanced autophagy, suppressed excessive apoptosis, ameliorated bone microarchitecture, and increased bone mineral density in ovariectomized mice. Our findings elucidate the mechanism by which naringin exerts its anti-osteoporotic effects through regulating the balance between autophagy and apoptosis, thereby providing a theoretical basis for developing naringin-based anti-aging strategies for bone protection.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42235811/","authors":["Cui Y","Yu G","Li D","Fu X","Yang Z","Yang W","Yang F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Oct","addedAt":"2026-08-06T15:34:21.912Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60054-6","name":"Application of Systems Biology Technology in Research of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60054-6","authors":["Ping LI","Li-ping YANG","Yue-wen GONG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-06-11T09:03:14Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60054-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30324-2","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine symptom pattern analysis for Parkinson's disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30324-2","authors":["Chen Hongzhi","He Jiancheng","Teng Long","Yuan Canxing","Zhang Zhe"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-12-06T11:35:27Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30324-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2021/8819538","name":"Differential Metabolomics and Network Pharmacology Analysis of Silkworm Biotransformation between Mulberry Leaves and Silkworm Droppings","source":"crossref","abstract":"Silkworm droppings are the product of mulberry leaves digested by silkworm intestines, which are an important medicinal resource in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Sempervirine (SPV), a yohimbine-type alkaloid, has been proven to inhibit GBM cells proliferation in previous research and found to have a potential effect in anti-invasion, but its mechanism of anti-invasion is still unknown. Methods: To explore its pharmacodynamics in inhibiting GBM cell invasion in this study, we combined network pharmacology and bioinformatics to comprehensive exploratory analysis of SPV and verified the mechanism in vitro. Results: Firstly, targets of SPV and invasion-related genes were collected from public databases. Moreover, GBM samples were obtained to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Then, the relevant targets of SPV inhibiting GBM invasion (SIGI) were obtained through the intersection of the three gene sets. Further, GO and KEGG analysis showed that the targets of SIGI were heavily enriched in the AKT signaling pathway. Subsequently, based on the method of machine learning, a clinical prognostic model of the relevant targets of SIGI was constructed using GBM samples from TCGA and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). A four-genes model (DUSP6, BMP2, MMP2, and MMP13) was successfully constructed, and Vina Scores of MMP2 and MMP13 in molecular docking were higher, which may be the main targets of SIGI. Then, the effect of SIGI was confirmed via functional experiments on invasion, migration, and adhesion assay, and the effect involved changes in the expressions of p-AKT, MMP2 and MMP13. Finally, combined with AKT activator (SC79) and inhibitor (MK2206), we further confirmed that SPV inhibits GBM invasion through AKT phosphorylation. Conclusions: This study provides valuable and an expected point of view into the regulation of AKT phosphorylation and inhibition of GBM invasion by SPV.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph17101318","authors":["Bingqiang Zhang","Wenyi Wang","Yu Song","Huixian Chen","Xinxin Lin","Jingjing Chen","Ying Chen","Jinfang Huang","Desen Li","Shuisheng Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-02T11:29:24Z","doi":"10.3390/ph17101318","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2018/7482593","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Patterns and Their Association with Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels during the Natural History of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection","source":"crossref","abstract":"The aim of this study is to investigate traditional Chinese medicine syndrome (TCMS) patterns and their association with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels during the natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB). Patients were categorized according to the phase of CHB, as follows: immune tolerance (ITP); immune clearance (ICP); low or nonreplication (LRP); reactivation (RAP); hepatic cirrhosis (HC); and primary liver cancer (PLC). TCMS patterns were classified among the following types: spleen‐kidney deficiency (SKD); liver‐qi depression (LQD); damp‐heat in liver‐gallbladder (LGDH); liver‐kidney deficiency (LKD); and blood stasis blocking collateral (BSBC). HBsAg levels and other serological indicators were quantified for all patients and their association with TCMS was statistically analyzed and determined. Two hundred and eighty‐nine patients with CHB were included. During the natural history of CHB, TCMS patterns were statistically different among the different phases ( P < 0.001). The most frequently occurring syndromes among the six progressive phases were SKD, LGDH, LKD, LGDH, BSBC, and LGDH, respectively. The predominant patterns in the inactive stage (ITP + LRP), active stage (ICP + RAP), and late or advanced stage (HC + PLC) were SKD (31%), LGDH (51.8%) and BSBC (34.4%), respectively. Median HBsAg levels were also statistically different among the five patterns of TCMS ( P < 0.001). The highest HBsAg levels were observed in SKD (4.48 log 10 IU/mL). Medium levels were in LQD (3.91 log 10 IU/mL) and LGDH (3.90 log 10 IU/mL). The lowest HBsAg levels were in LKD (3.60 log 10 IU/mL) and the second lowest levels in BSBC (3.81 log 10 IU/mL). In addition, HBsAg levels in LKD and BSBC were significantly lower than those in SKD, LQD, and LGDH ( P < 0.05 or 0.001). TCMS was altered during the natural history of CHB and correlated with HBsAg titers.

Recent studies have found that angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is abnormally expressed in many tumors, so it can serve as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target. However, its prognostic value in LUAD remains unclear. We downloaded RNA sequence data for LUAD from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, methylation data from the University of California Santa Cruz genome database, and clinical information. R software (version 4.1.1) was applied to analyze the ANGPTL4 expression in LUAD and nontumor samples, and the correlation with clinical characteristics to assess its prognostic and diagnostic value. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between the ANGPTL4 expression and methylation levels. Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource (TIMER) tool was taken for immune infiltration analysis, and two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were combined for meta-analysis. Finally, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to ANGPTL4 were analyzed to clarify its function. As shown in our results, ANGPTL4 was upregulated in LUAD and was an independent risk factor for the diagnosis and prognosis of LUAD. The general methylation level and eight ANGPTL4 methylation sites were significantly negatively correlated with the ANGPTL4 expression. Furthermore, we found that B cell infiltration was negatively correlated with ANGPTL4 expression and was an independent risk factor. Meta-analysis showed that the high expression of ANGPTL4 was closely associated with a poor prognosis. 153 DEGs, including the matrix metalloproteinase family, the chemokines subfamily, and the collagen family, were correlated with ANGPTL4. In this study, we found that ANGPTL4 was significantly elevated in LUAD and was closely associated with the development and poor prognosis of LUAD, suggesting that ANGPTL4 may be a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for LUAD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/3444740","authors":["Yang Yang","Yufei Liu","Peiyang Gao","Ke Liu","Keni Zhao","Rongtao Ying","Jun Jiang","Xiaohong Xie","Wei Xiao","Qingsong Huang","Jianying Wu","Chuantao Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-07T15:20:17Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/3444740","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30072-8","name":"Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on oligoasthenospermatism: a narrative review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30072-8","authors":["Du Gao","Yun Cui","Jun Wu","Fan Zhang","Yang Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-12T13:16:10Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30072-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-800125-7.00003-3","name":"Cardiovascular Disease Prevalence and Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-800125-7.00003-3","authors":["Anika Niambi Al-Shura"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-04-07T10:51:23Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-12-800125-7.00003-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9780367565152-rechs134-0","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780367565152-rechs134-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-17T14:25:52Z","doi":"10.4324/9780367565152-rechs134-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9780203493892.ax1","name":"Standard Syndrome Differentiation of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9780203493892.ax1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-02-23T12:41:42Z","doi":"10.1201/9780203493892.ax1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32614/cran.package.immcp","name":"immcp: Poly-Pharmacology Toolkit for Traditional Chinese Medicine Research","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.32614/cran.package.immcp","authors":["Yuanlong Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-12T07:32:03Z","doi":"10.32614/cran.package.immcp","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-024-00964-4","name":"G protein-coupled receptors and traditional Chinese medicine: new thinks for the development of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) widely exist in vivo and participate in many physiological processes, thus emerging as important targets for drug development. Approximately 30% of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs target GPCRs. To date, the ‘one disease, one target, one molecule’ strategy no longer meets the demands of drug development. Meanwhile, small-molecule drugs account for 60% of FDA-approved drugs. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has garnered widespread attention for its unique theoretical system and treatment methods. TCM involves multiple components, targets and pathways. Centered on GPCRs and TCM, this paper discusses the similarities and differences between TCM and GPCRs from the perspectives of syndrome of TCM, the consistency of TCM’s multi-component and multi-target approaches and the potential of GPCRs and TCM in the development of novel drugs. A novel strategy, ‘simultaneous screening of drugs and targets’, was proposed and applied to the study of GPCRs. We combine GPCRs with TCM to facilitate the modernisation of TCM, provide valuable insights into the rational application of TCM and facilitate the research and development of novel drugs. This study offers theoretical support for the modernisation of TCM and introduces novel ideas for development of safe and effective drugs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-024-00964-4","authors":["Ting Zhang","Wenqiao An","Shengjie You","Shilin Chen","Sanyin Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-02T06:02:49Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-024-00964-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1036/1097-8542.yb081070","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine authentication","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.yb081070","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-07-10T19:02:00Z","doi":"10.1036/1097-8542.yb081070","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1515/9783110417661-003","name":"2 The Philosophical Basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110417661-003","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-11-11T08:54:47Z","doi":"10.1515/9783110417661-003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000045479","name":"Multi-omics research strategies in traditional Chinese medicine: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been employed to treat a wide range of ailments for millennia. Although the active ingredients of TCM typically have lower concentration of active compounds compared to Western medications based on conventional metrics, they frequently exert synergistic therapeutic effects on multiple targets. These varied effects hinder widespread adoption by making it challenging to evaluate efficacy and comprehend underlying mechanisms. High-throughput omics methods, particularly genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics, open up new avenues for discovering biomarkers related to quality control, safety evaluation, authentication, and elucidating processing mechanisms. This paper reviews developments in these omics over recent decades, summarizes their applications in pharmaceutical research for quality control, toxicity evaluation, processing, and authentication, and discusses omics limitations. We also highlight how integrative omics and systems biology can advance TCM understanding and standardization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000045479","authors":["Chenqiong Xie","Yiming Che","Yanxia Zhou","Jinjin Wu","Jinglin Shen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-19T17:02:42Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000045479","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30899-9","name":"Information for Authors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30899-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-28T20:21:43Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30899-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12890-025-03517-z","name":"Association between the triglyceride glucose body mass index and asthma: evidence from NHANES 2011–2018","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12890-025-03517-z","authors":["Sijia Yu","Shiping Wu","Shouxin Wei"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T13:14:30Z","doi":"10.1186/s12890-025-03517-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9780203025901-49","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9780203025901-49","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-05T14:37:25Z","doi":"10.1201/9780203025901-49","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30297341","name":"Health informatics.

The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of the Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu (ZL) capsule in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) via targeting ferroptosis based on network pharmacology. Methods. The active ingredients and related key targets of the ZL capsule were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). The gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were also performed. Finally, identified targets were validated in an in-vivo model of ICH. Results. A total of 30 active ingredients and 33 intersecting targets were identified through a TCMSP database search. Ingredients-Targets-Pathways network was constructed to filter out the key targets according to the degree value. TP53 was selected as the key target. The in-vivo validation studies demonstrated that TP53 was down-regulated and GPX4 was upregulated in rats following ZL capsule treatment. Conclusions. It is concluded that the ZL capsule could alleviate ICH in a muti-target and multi-pathway manner. ZL capsule could alleviate ICH by inhibiting ferroptosis, and TP53 is identified to be the potential target. Further research is needed to clarify the detailed anti-ferroptotic mechanism of the ZL capsule.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/5033135","authors":["Lixia Wang","Wei Ren","Li Wang","Linshen Mao","Maryam Mazhar","Chen Zhou","Houping Xu","Sijin Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-26T01:48:49Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/5033135","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60114-4","name":"Fracture healing with osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60114-4","authors":["Namula Zhao","Mei Wang","Xueen Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-17T02:15:50Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60114-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/v16081308","name":"CFTR Inhibitors Display Antiviral Activity against Herpes Simplex Virus","source":"crossref","abstract":"The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-dependent Cl− channel, is closely associated with multiple pathogen infections, such as SARS-CoV-2. However, whether the function of the CFTR is involved in herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection has not been reported. To evaluate the association of CFTR activity with HSV infection, the antiviral effect of CFTR inhibitors in epithelial cells and HSV-infected mice was tested in this study. The data showed that treatment with CFTR inhibitors in different concentrations, Glyh-101 (5–20 μM), CFTRi-172 (5–20 μM) and IOWH-032 (5–20 μM), or the gene silence of the CFTR could suppress herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) replication in human HaCaT keratinocytes cells, and that a CFTR inhibitor, Glyh-101 (10–20 μM), protected mice from HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection. Intracellular Cl− concentration ([Cl−]i) was decreased after HSV infection via the activation of adenylyl cyclase (AC)-cAMP signaling pathways. CFTR inhibitors (20 μM) increased the reduced [Cl−]i caused by HSV infection in host epithelial cells. Additionally, CFTR inhibitors reduced the activity and phosphorylation of SGK1 in infected cells and tissues (from the eye and vagina). Our study found that CFTR inhibitors can effectively suppress HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection, revealing a previously unknown role of CFTR inhibitors in HSV infection and suggesting new perspectives on the mechanisms governing HSV infection in host epithelial cells, as well as leading to potential novel treatments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/v16081308","authors":["Ping Jiang","Zhong Dai","Chan Yang","Liqiong Ding","Songshan Li","Xinfeng Xu","Chen Cheng","Jinshen Wang","Shuwen Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-16T12:40:07Z","doi":"10.3390/v16081308","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30297341u","name":"Health informatics.

development trends in the field of grassroots governance in China since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this study employs CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, to conduct a visual analysis of 2555 related articles published between 2022 to 2025 in the CSSCI and Peking University Core Journals within the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) . 1) The number of publications in this field has shown an overall upward trend and is significantly influenced by national policies; 2) While the number of scholars and research institutions is large, their cooperation remains relatively weak; 3) Research hotspots primarily focus on the actors and institutions of grassroots governance, governance concepts and goals, governance technologies and tools, and social participation and practical application; 4) Future research trends include the improvement of grassroots governance policies, diversified and collaborative governance approaches, and technological innovation in governance approaches, with a growing emphasis on perspectives from sociology and management. In conclusion, although substantial progress has been made in grassroots governance research in China, further efforts are needed to enhance collaboration among scholars and institutions, learn from international models, and incorporate advanced governance concepts and successful practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48014/fcss.20250327001","authors":["Xinxin REN","Hao ZHANG","Qinghe PENG","Yuqing HE"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-22T07:43:26Z","doi":"10.48014/fcss.20250327001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/13880209.2024.2422084","name":"Comparative efficacy and safety of Chinese patent medicines as an adjunctive therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13880209.2024.2422084","authors":["Qun Wang","Hui Xie","Zihong Wang","Runyun Huang","Min Xu","Yongjun Li","Lingling Shan","Hongyan Zhang","Xianghong Liu","Hongxing Zhang","Yunsheng Xu","Shiguang Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-05T06:05:21Z","doi":"10.1080/13880209.2024.2422084","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60065-0","name":"Classification and reduction manipulation of fractures in Chinese traditional Mongolian osteopathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60065-0","authors":["Mei Wang","Zhanhong Bao","Namula Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-08-09T18:30:18Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60065-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/biology13030197","name":"Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal the Response Mechanism of Ophiopogon japonicus to Waterlogging Stress","source":"crossref","abstract":"Ophiopogon japonicus, a plant that thrives in river alluvial dams, often faces waterlogging stress due to sustained rainfall and flood seasons, which significantly impacts its growth and development. Currently, the mechanisms of waterlogging tolerance in Ophiopogon japonicus are still unclear. This study analyzed the transcriptome and metabolome data for Ophiopogon japonicus in the Sichuan region (referred to as CMD) under varying degrees of waterlogging stress: mild, moderate, and severe. The results indicate that the group exposed to flooding stress exhibited a higher number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared to the control group. Notably, most DEGs were downregulated and primarily enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, starch and sucrose metabolism, and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. A total of 5151 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified, with significantly upregulated DAMs annotated to two clusters, namely flavonoids such as apiin, pelargonin, and others. Furthermore, our study revealed significant upregulation in the expression of C2H2 (C2H2 zinc finger proteins) and AP2/ERF-ERF (the subfamily ERF proteins of APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding factors) transcription factors in CMD under flooding stress, suggesting their critical roles in enabling CMD to adapt to these conditions. In conclusion, this research provides insights into the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying CMD’s response to flooding stress and reports valuable genetic data for the development of transgenic plants with improved waterlogging tolerance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biology13030197","authors":["Tingting Cheng","Xia Zhou","Juan Lin","Xianjian Zhou","Hongsu Wang","Tiezhu Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-20T13:09:36Z","doi":"10.3390/biology13030197","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30286380u","name":"Health informatics.

However, till now, there is little information about its contribution to the protection of astrocytes infected by virus. Toll‐like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a key component of the innate immune system and has the ability to detect virus infection and trigger host defence responses. This study was undertaken to elucidate the protective effect of APS on herpes simplex virus (HSV‐1) infected astrocytes and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that APS protected the astrocytes from HSV‐1 induced proliferation inhibition along with increasing expression of tumor necrosis factor‐ α (TNF‐ α ) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) markedly. Moreover, APS significantly promoted the expression of Toll‐like receptor 3 (TLR3) and the activation of nuclear factor‐ κ B (NF‐ κ B) in astrocytes. In addition, while astrocytes were pretreated with TLR3 antibody before adding HSV‐1 and APS, the expression of TLR3, TNF‐ α , and IL‐6 and the activation of NF‐ κ B decreased sharply. These results indicate that APS can protect astrocytes by promoting immunological function provoked by HSV‐1 through TLR3/NF‐ κ B pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/285356","authors":["Lihong Shi","Fengling Yin","Xiangui Xin","Shumei Mao","Pingping Hu","Chunzhen Zhao","Xiuning Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-06-26T21:02:23Z","doi":"10.1155/2014/285356","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0346627","name":"In-silico identification and optimization of MMP-9 inhibitors for cerebral ischemia using structure based virtual screening, MD simulation, and binding free energy calculations","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cerebral ischemia is a leading cause of disability and mortality due to the limited therapies of neuroprotection.

For early liver cancer, resection surgery is currently the most effective treatment. However, resection does not treat the disease in advanced patients, so finding a method with a better prognosis is necessary. In recent years, ferroptosis and cuproptosis have been gradually defined, and related studies have proved that they show excellent results in the therapy of liver cancer. Cuproptosis is a new form of cell death, and the use of cuproptosis combined with ferroptosis to inhibit the production of hepatocellular carcinoma cells has good development prospects and is worthy of in-depth discussion by researchers. In this review, we summarize the research progress on cuproptosis combined with ferroptosis in treating liver cancer, analyze the value of cuproptosis and ferroptosis in the immune of liver cancer, and propose potential pathways in oncotherapy with the combination of cuproptosis and ferroptosis, which can provide background knowledge for subsequent related research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12935-023-03207-y","authors":["Jia-qian Mo","Shen-yan Zhang","Qiang Li","Mo-xian Chen","Yue-qing Zheng","Xin Xie","Rongxin Zhang","Shan-shan Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-10T08:04:39Z","doi":"10.1186/s12935-023-03207-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60031-9","name":"Evidence-based Chinese Medicine for Rheumatoid Arthritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60031-9","authors":["Chi ZHANG","Miao JIANG","Ai-ping LÜ"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-11-11T19:54:50Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60031-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60085-6","name":"Dietotherapy for Hyperlipidemia","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60085-6","authors":["Zi DENG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-12-26T09:06:19Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60085-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/2692-563x/1132","name":"Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment alone for Recurrent and Refractory Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Introduction: Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the epithelial gland of prostate, and it ranks 6th in the incidence rate of malignant tumors among men in China, while the death rate ranks 2nd.

Oral ulcer (OU) is a common oral mucosal disease manifested with obvious pain. In some studies, the efficacy of acupuncture in OU has been confirmed, but systematic reviews and meta-analyses for them are lacking. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of OU. Methods. We searched the literature from eight databases from their inception to December 2021. We included randomized controlled trials of acupuncture for the treatment of oral ulcer. The meta-analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0. The main outcomes were the effective rate and the recurrence rate, the secondary outcomes were the visual analogue score (VAS) and the ulcer healing time. Results. Totally, 18 studies were finally included in the meta-analysis, including 1,422 patients. In meta-analyses, we found that in comparison with Western medicine, acupuncture can improve effective rate (OR = 5.40, 95% CI: 3.40 to 8.58), reduce the ulcer recurrence rate (OR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.33), and relieve the ulcer pain (MD = −2.26, 95% CI: −4.27to−0.24). In addition, compared with Western medicine, acupuncture plus Western medicine also can improve effective rate (OR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.48 to 5.85). Compared with the Chinese medicine, the acupuncture plus Chinese medicine can improve the effective rate (OR = 8.26, 95% CI: 3.61 to 18.88) and relieve the ulcer pain (MD = −1.85, 95% CI: −2.51 to −1.19). Conclusion. Acupuncture may be more effective than Western medicine in terms of efficacy rate, and acupuncture combined with Western or Chinese medicine may have the potential to reduce the recurrence of ulcer and relieve the ulcer pain. However, due to limited evidence, higher quality and more rigorously designed clinical trials with larger sample sizes will be needed to further confirm our findings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/6082179","authors":["Hang Yan","Tianxi Chen","Yuling Zuo","Yang Tu","Huangping Ai","Yuqi Lin","Yongcan Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-08T18:31:50Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/6082179","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21275/v5i6.nov164157","name":"Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21275/v5i6.nov164157","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-13T14:34:45Z","doi":"10.21275/v5i6.nov164157","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30281260","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

This study investigates whether PMRP alleviates POI by inhibiting PANoptosis—a cell death pathway characterized by the concurrent occurrence and interplay of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. POI was induced in rats using tripterygium glycosides. We evaluated the estrous cycle, serum hormone levels (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], estrogen [E2], anti-Müllerian hormone [AMH]), follicular development, and the ultrastructure of granulosa cells. PANoptosome assembly (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD [ASC]/caspase-8/receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 [RIPK3] co-localization) and key effectors of PANoptosis (caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3, gasdermin D [GSDMD], cleaved GSDMD, GSDME, RIPK1, mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein [MLKL], and p-MLKL) were analyzed. PMRP restored the estrous cycle, lowered FSH levels, and increased E2 and AMH levels in POI rats. It reduced follicular atresia, preserved primordial follicles, and suppressed PANoptosis-like death in granulosa cells. Mechanistically, PMRP disrupted PANoptosome assembly and downregulated key effectors of PANoptosis. PMRP alleviates POI by inhibiting PANoptosis in granulosa cells, overcoming the previous limitations of targeting single death pathways and providing novel insights into the pathogenesis and treatment strategies for POI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cimb47070569","authors":["Can Zhu","Jinhong Li","Yaofeng Li","Daiyong Chen","Chang Lin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-21T09:33:53Z","doi":"10.3390/cimb47070569","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s40519-025-01755-y","name":"Visceral adiposity index (VAI) association with suicidal ideation among U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study using NHANES 2005–2018 data","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40519-025-01755-y","authors":["Guangwei Qing","Jiakuan Tu","Hao He","Mengqian Su","Yan Chen","Bo Wei","Yuanjian Yang","Bin Zhang","Guang Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-29T12:29:35Z","doi":"10.1007/s40519-025-01755-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47939/mh.v2i8.223","name":"Application Effect of Decoction Pieces of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Rational Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47939/mh.v2i8.223","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-01T03:23:56Z","doi":"10.47939/mh.v2i8.223","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2020/3618941","name":"Research Progress on Chemical Constituents and Anticancer Pharmacological Activities of Euphorbia lunulata Bunge","source":"crossref","abstract":"Euphorbia lunulata Bunge (ELB) is a traditional Chinese medicine possessing the functions of expectoration, cough relief, asthma relief, detoxification, and itching relief.

The central mechanism of acupuncture for primary dysmenorrhea was explored by summarizing the changes in different regional networks of the brain induced by acupuncture stimulation by analyzing the existing studies. Methods. The original studies were collected and selected from three English databases such as PubMed and four Chinese databases as China Knowledge Network (CNKI). The main keyword clusters are neuroimaging, acupuncture, and primary dysmenorrhea. Results. The literature review yielded 130 possibly qualified studies, and 23 articles fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. Regarding the type of acupuncture studies, 6 moxibustion studies and 17 manual acupuncture studies for primary dysmenorrhea were included. Based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), and positron emission tomography-computer tomography techniques (PET-CT), one or more analysis methods such as amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), functional connectivity (FC), and independent components analysis (ICA) were used. The results are summarized. To summarize the high-frequency brain area alterations observed in patients with acupuncture-induced primary dysmenorrhea were the anterior cingulate gyrus, thalamus, insula, precentral gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, putamen, and cerebellum. Conclusion. The results suggest that the mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea is the involvement of networks regulating different areas of the brain in the analgesic effects of acupuncture. The brain regions involved in primary dysmenorrhea acupuncture analgesia were mainly located in the pain matrix, default mode network, salience network, and limbic system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/8307249","authors":["Benlu Chen","Qin Guo","Qiwen Zhang","Zhong Di","Quanai Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-02-18T17:35:25Z","doi":"10.1155/2023/8307249","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12672-025-02404-7","name":"PARP14-mediated glycolysis enhances Tamoxifen resistance in estrogen receptor + breast cancer cells","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12672-025-02404-7","authors":["Wenju Mo","Fanrong Zhang","Chen Wang","Xiaowen Ding","Lili Ren"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-17T12:40:30Z","doi":"10.1007/s12672-025-02404-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12884-026-09514-2","name":"Knowledge, attitude and practice of labor neuraxial analgesia in pregnant women and their partners: a cross-sectional survey in China","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-026-09514-2","authors":["Min Du","Linjia Zhong","Ping Hu","Minli Huang","Shuzhen Wu","Hongfei Dai","Zijing Zhang","Zhenyan Han","Lingling Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23T06:45:06Z","doi":"10.1186/s12884-026-09514-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10753-024-02169-1","name":"Cell Division Cycle 42 Improves Renal Functions, Fibrosis, Th1/Th17 Infiltration and Inflammation to Some Degree in Diabetic Nephropathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10753-024-02169-1","authors":["Na Zhao","Chuwen Feng","Yuehui Zhang","Huijun Chen","Jian Ma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-13T03:02:44Z","doi":"10.1007/s10753-024-02169-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/b-0034-67020","name":"A Introduction to the Basic Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese Dietetics: The Five Phases (Wu Xing)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/b-0034-67020","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-06-17T14:11:29Z","doi":"10.1055/b-0034-67020","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules28104117","name":"Salvianolic Acid B Inhibits Ferroptosis and Apoptosis during Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Decreasing the Ubiquitin-Proteasome Degradation of GPX4 and the ROS-JNK/MAPK Pathways","source":"crossref","abstract":"Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is related to ferroptosis and apoptosis elicited by reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this research, we investigated the protective effect of salvianolic acid B (SAB) as a natural antioxidant on ferroptosis and apoptosis in the MIRI process, and discussed the protective mechanism inhibiting ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) apoptosis signal pathway. We observed that ferroptosis and apoptosis occurred in the MIRI rat model in vivo and the H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) damage model in vitro. SAB can alleviate tissue damage related to ROS, ferroptosis and apoptosis. Ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of GPX4 occurred in H/R models, and SAB reduced the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of GPX4. SAB downregulates JNK phosphorylation and the expression of BCL2-Associated X (Bax)/B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Caspase-3 to inhibit apoptosis. The role of GPX4 in the cardioprotection of SAB was further verified by the elimination effect of the GPX4 inhibitor RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3).

Yuquan Pill (YQP), a Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of diabetes, is widely used in the treatment of diabetes and its complications in China. However, the efficacy of YQP on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been completely assessed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of YQP in the treatment of T2DM. Materials and Methods. We systematically searched 9 databases for specific keywords from inception to Oct 2021. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving YQP in the treatment of T2DM without language limitation. The study conformed to the Cochrane Handbook and Review Manager software was used for data analysis. The weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure treatment effects. Results. The final analysis included 10 publications. Analysis showed that the combination of YQP and conventional treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone with regard to the levels of fasting blood glucose (WMD = −0.83; 95% CI [−1.01,−0.66]; p < 0.00001 ), two-hour postprandial glucose (WMD = −1.40; 95% CI [−1.49,−1.31]; p < 0.00001 ), glycosylated hemoglobin (WMD = −0.87; 95% CI [−1.26, −0.49]; p < 0.00001 ), total cholesterol (WMD = −0.50; 95% CI [−0.61, −0.39]; p < 0.00001 ), c-reactive protein (WMD = −0.58; 95%CI [−0.88, −0.28]; p = 0.0002 ), and overall effective rate (RR = 1.21; 95% CI [1.12, 1.31]; p < 0.00001 ). Conclusion. Evidence suggested that YQP might improve glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation in patients with T2DM. Serious adverse events were not reported. The quality of the evidence analyzed was low and therefore our results should be interpreted with caution. More high-quality RCTs are now needed to verify these findings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/2562590","authors":["Sihan Peng","Ziyan Xie","Xiyu Zhang","Chunguang Xie","Jian Kang","Haipo Yuan","Gang Xu","Xiangeng Zhang","Ya Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-02T17:51:17Z","doi":"10.1155/2021/2562590","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10072-026-08986-6","name":"The burden and trends of late-onset multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias among adults aged 55 and older, spanning from 1990 to 2021, with projections through 2050","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Objectives This study investigates the global burden of common central nervous system (CNS) disorders—including late-onset multiple sclerosis (LOMS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias (ADOD)—among adults aged 55 years and older, covering the period from 1990 to 2021 with projections extending through 2050. Methods Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, spanning the years 1990 to 2021, were analyzed to evaluate the number of incident and prevalent cases, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), and their corresponding age-standardized rates. These metrics were stratified by socio-demographic index (SDI) regions, sex, and age groups. Future trends were forecasted using the Bayesian age–period–cohort (BAPC) model up to the year 2036 and the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model up to 2050. Results In 2021, global cases reached 0.76 million for LOMS, 10.76 million for PD, and 20.84 million for ADOD. ADOD exhibited the highest burden across all metrics. Females bore greater LOMS and ADOD burden; males bore higher PD burden. High SDI regions had highest LOMS burden; high-middle SDI regions led in PD and ADOD burden. Population growth was the primary burden driver. China faced the highest PD and ADOD burden due to rapid aging. Conclusion Urgent health policies must target elderly populations with sex-specific approaches—focusing on women for LOMS/ADOD and men for PD—alongside strategies for high-risk demographic groups.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-026-08986-6","authors":["Xiaojun Liu","Xiujuan Mi","Xinyuan Yu","Ning Deng","Yuanhong Lei","Jianzhong Shu","Jun Tang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-18T06:45:56Z","doi":"10.1007/s10072-026-08986-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30327055","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdomen inflammation, characterized by the dysregulation of digestive enzyme production and secretion. Many studies have shown that Da Cheng Qi Decoction (DCQD) is a secure, effective prescription on AP. In this study, cerulein-stimulated AR42J cells damage model was established to further explore the feasibility and underlying mechanism of DCQD as a potential inhibitor of JAK2/STAT3 pathway for the treatment of AP. Methods. Cell viability of DCQD was measured using a cell counting Kit-8 assay. Pancreatic biochemical markers such as amylase, lipase, and C-reactive protein production were measured by assay kits, respectively. Cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1β) were assayed by ELISA. Protein location and protein expression were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting, respectively. Gene expression was assessed by real-time PCR. For mechanistic analysis of the effect of DCQD on JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, selective JAK2 inhibitor (Fedratinib) and STAT3 inhibitor (Stattic) as well as STAT3 activator (Garcinone D) were used. Results. DCQD protected cells by regulating cerulein-induced inflammation and reducing the secretion of pancreatic biochemical markers. Moreover, DCQD could not only inhibit the nuclear translocation of p-STAT3, but also decrease the mRNA expression of JAK2 and STAT3 as well as the ratio of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 in protein level. Additionally, DCQD could regulate the mRNA and protein expression of JAK2/STAT3 downstream effectors, Bax and Bcl-XL. The activated effect of cerulein on JAK2/STAT3 pathway was also reversed by JAK2 inhibitor Fedratinib or STAT3 inhibitor Stattic. And the overexpression of JAK2/STAT3 pathway, via STAT3 activator Garcinone D, did exert damage on cells, which bore a resemblance to cerulein. Conclusion. The activation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway may play a key role in the pathogenesis of cerulein-stimulated AR42J pancreatic acinar cell injury. DCQD could improve inflammatory cytokines and cell injury, which might be mediated by suppressing the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6657036","authors":["Zehua Zhou","Ying Chen","Wenmin Dong","Rui An","Kun Liang","Xinhong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T17:50:11Z","doi":"10.1155/2021/6657036","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47939/mh.v3i8(07).58","name":"Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacists Intervention in General Internal Medicine to Develop Rational Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47939/mh.v3i8(07).58","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-22T02:57:50Z","doi":"10.47939/mh.v3i8(07).58","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12672-024-01641-6","name":"Network pharmacology and anticancer mechanism study of Dendrobium nobile dendrobine in the treatment of colorectal cancer","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12672-024-01641-6","authors":["Pei Luo","Can Huang","Jun Guo","Xin Yao","Chao Pan","Aijin Bao","Fei Li","Ying-ying Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-18T09:52:50Z","doi":"10.1007/s12672-024-01641-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/9208478","name":"Clinical Efficacy of Auricular Acupressure plus Eye Exercises in the Treatment of Adolescent Pseudomyopia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective.

therapeutic measures can hardly meet the need for immediate relief of patients’ low back pain and functional impairment. This study examines the scientific validity and feasibility of acupuncture intervention in the emergency department for this condition and attempts to provide new treatment ideas that can enrich the treatment of acute low back pain. The text demonstrates the scientificity of acupuncture intervention in acute low back pain from three aspects, including the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in treating the disease and clinical experimental studies and basic research; it also shows the specific acupuncture points and operation steps required for acupuncture therapy in the form of diagrams, which makes acupuncture therapy operable in clinical use. The use of acupuncture therapy should be attempted in future emergency clinical practice with the aim of promoting its use in the treatment of acute conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26420/austinemergmed.2022.1077","authors":["Sun Z","Bi Y","Ji C"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-05-30T09:30:13Z","doi":"10.26420/austinemergmed.2022.1077","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3736/jcim20030401","name":"Discussion on definition of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine integration and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3736/jcim20030401","authors":["Shi-Kui Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2007-12-25T05:53:02Z","doi":"10.3736/jcim20030401","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4268/cjcmm20141809","name":"Analysis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in 84 697 patients with coronary heart disease based on big data","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4268/cjcmm20141809","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-07T15:13:26Z","doi":"10.4268/cjcmm20141809","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.indcrop.2025.122594","name":"Chemotype-specific terpenoid divergence in Atractylodes lancea driven by host transcriptional profiles and endophytic microbiota: Functional validation of keystone strain ALX01","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2025.122594","authors":["Zhiqiang Zhao","Kangru Qi","Kailing Zeng","Yaqian Li","Hua Liang","Weifang Xu","Liangping Zha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-06T04:59:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.indcrop.2025.122594","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11033-024-09532-3","name":"CircCOX6A1 suppresses osteogenic differentiation and aggravates osteoporosis via miR-512-3p/DYRK2 axis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11033-024-09532-3","authors":["Dingwen He","Sikuan Zheng","Jian Cao","Jianjian Deng","Rui Ding","Yanjie Xu","Xigao Cheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-10T13:01:59Z","doi":"10.1007/s11033-024-09532-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60072-2","name":"Irritable bowel syndrome treated by traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60072-2","authors":["Liuxin Qu","Liyang Xing","Wanda Norman","Hong Chen","Song Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-14T10:33:51Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60072-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/001c.125268","name":"Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine for Degenerative Myelopathy in Dogs","source":"crossref","abstract":"Degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a debilitating and progressive myelopathy in dogs.

To investigate the regulatory role of angiopoietin-1ike protein 2 (Angptl 2) in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods. A high-fat diet (HFD) and tail vein injection of 0.1 ml/kg oleic acid were used to induce acute lung injury (ALI) and ARDS models, and male Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (injected with normal saline), ALI group (injected with oleic acid), HFD group (injection of normal saline), and ARDS group (HFD+injection of oleic acid). The degree of lung injury was assessed by lung histopathology score and lung injury index. At the same time, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Angptl 2 in lung tissue were also detected to determine the relationship between Angptl 2 and ARDS. Results. Lee’s index of the HFD group and ARDS group was significantly higher than that of the control group and ALI group ( P < 0.05 ), and the lung injury index of the ARDS group was significantly higher than that of the ALI group. The expression of Angptl 2 in the lung tissue of the ALI group and ARDS group was significantly different, and the Angptl 2 mRNA level was the highest in the ARDS group. Immunohistochemistry showed that the alveolar walls of the ALI group and ARDS group were severely collapsed, and the ARDS group had the greatest Angptl 2 aggregation at the site of edema exudation. Conclusion. Collectively, obesity might be mediated by Angptl 2 and promotes lung injury. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the expression of the receptor on alveolar walls was correlated with Angptl 2, which increased alveolar wall permeability, edema fluid exudation, and alveolar wall collapse. Thus, Angptl 2 might be a target for improving the treatment of ARDS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/8297046","authors":["Ting Jiang","Wenying Leng","Sen Zhong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-20T15:20:10Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/8297046","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11011-024-01474-w","name":"Exploring the potential anti-diabetic peripheral neuropathy mechanisms of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction by network pharmacology and molecular docking","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11011-024-01474-w","authors":["Xueying Zhang","Guangcheng Zhong","Chen Jiang","Xiaojun Ha","Qingjiang Yang","Haike Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-20T08:08:42Z","doi":"10.1007/s11011-024-01474-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00001-7","name":"Overview of Knowledge Discovery in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00001-7","authors":["Zhaohui Wu","Huajun Chen","Xiaohong Jiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-07-07T05:00:40Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00001-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2019/4925682","name":"Diverse Pharmacological Activities and Potential Medicinal Benefits of Geniposide","source":"crossref","abstract":"Geniposide is a well-known iridoid glycoside compound and is an essential component of a wide variety of traditional phytomedicines, for example, Gardenia jasminoides Elli (Zhizi in Chinese), Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.

However, patients have a low satisfaction level with the treatment of constipation drugs (e.g., 5-HT4 agonists). A meta-analysis was performed to compare the efficacy and safety between electroacupuncture and 5-HT4 agonists. Methods: The included study were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), in which EA was used in the experimental group and 5-HT4 receptor agonist was used in the control group. Four English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase) and 4 Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CBM, WanFang, VIP) were searched. Relevant studies retrieved were published before September 30, 2024. The risk of bias was assessed by tool of Cochrane and GRADEpro. The Review Manager 5.4 was used for analyzing Data analysis, and Endnote X9 for screening studies. Results: In this paper, we included 12 studies, involving 1473 participants. We found that EA significantly improved patient assessment of cab quality of life questionnaire (PAC-QOL) (MD = −0.52, P = .03), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) (MD = −3.00, P < .00001) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) (MD = −4.13, P < .00001) compared with 5-HT4 receptor agonists. In addition, we failed to identify any significant difference in Stool consistency, the number of weekly complete spontaneous bowel movements and weekly spontaneous bowel movements (SBMs) between the 2 groups. Conclusion: EA has been indicated to be better than 5-HT4 receptor agonists since it can more effectively improve FC patients’ life quality and mental state without an increased risk of adverse even. However, the previous evidence is characterized by low quality and small sample size, which should be further confirmed by high-quality and large-sample multicenter RCTs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000040634","authors":["Shanchun Xu","Jiacheng Li","Aimei Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-29T21:03:26Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000040634","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60014-3","name":"A Review of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) from A Perspective of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60014-3","authors":["Jun ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-17T05:25:32Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60014-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12886-023-03148-0","name":"Corneal remodeling after SMILE for moderate and high myopia: short-term assessment of spatial changes in corneal volume and thickness","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Purpose To evaluate the early corneal remodeling and its influencing factors after Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate and high myopia. Methods This was a retrospective study. Pre- and post-operative (1 week and 1, 3, 6 months) corneal volume (CV), mean keratometry (Km), and corneal thickness (CT) were measured by Scheimpflug tomography. CT at the central, thinnest point, and on concentric circles of 2, 4, and 6 mm diameter was recorded to assess corneal thickness spatial profile (CTSP) and percentage of thickness increase (PTI) in the moderate and high myopia groups, and to explore possible influencing factors. Results After SMILE, the peripheral CT decreased in the moderate myopia group and central corneal thickness (CCT) increased in the high myopia group at 1 month compared to 1 week (all P < 0.05). The CV, Km and CT were significantly increased at 3 months compared to 1 month (all P < 0.05), but there was no significant change at 6 months compared to 3 months for both groups (all P > 0.05). Patients with high myopia showed greater corneal thickness changes (△CT) and higher PTI than moderate myopia (all P < 0.05). Regression analysis revealed that in addition to refraction, peripheral PTI was negatively correlated with CCT in the moderate myopia group (4 mm: β = -0.023, P = 0.001; 6 mm: β = -0.050, P < 0.001), as well as in the high myopia group (4 mm: β = -0.038, P < 0.001; 6 mm: β = -0.094, P < 0.001). Moreover, peripheral PTI in the moderate myopia group was negatively correlated with age (4 mm: β = -0.071, P = 0.003; 6 mm: β = -0.162, P < 0.001). Conclusions After SMILE, the CV, Km, and CTSP showed dynamic changes in the early stage, which stabilized after 3 months. Compared to the moderate myopia group, the high myopia group experienced slower corneal stabilization. The change in PTI at 6 months after SMILE may be related to higher preoperative refraction, thinner CCT and younger age.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-023-03148-0","authors":["Yuanpeng Wu","Ting Shen","Lingtong Tan","Ting He","Qingqing Zheng","Chaoyang Hong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-06T15:01:43Z","doi":"10.1186/s12886-023-03148-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60137-5","name":"Retrospective study on Professor Zhongying Zhou's experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment on diabetic nephropathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60137-5","authors":["Kelei Su","Fangshi Zhu","Lizhong Guo","Yao Zhu","Wenlin Li","Xingjiang Xiong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-09-13T17:48:14Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60137-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60034-5","name":"Randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial on correspondence of prescriptions and Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome of ischemic stroke","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60034-5","authors":["Ying Gao","Haizhen Zhong","Bin Ma","Yue Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-13T19:45:33Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60034-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcme.2024.08.003","name":"Yinxieling attenuates psoriasis in mice by regulating oxidative stress and lipid mediators to correct immune cell disorder through the NF-κB/Nrf2 signaling pathways","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcme.2024.08.003","authors":["Qihua Yu","Jiagu Ke","Baolin Xie","Ning Li","Miaomiao Zhang","Lipeng Tang","Xiong Li","Chuanjian Lu","Dinghong Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-13T05:51:36Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcme.2024.08.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30107-2","name":"Key elements required to publish a good article: Consensus among executive editors of Traditional Chinese Medicine and integrative medicine journals – a Delphi study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30107-2","authors":["Hu Xiaoyang","Nicola Robinson","Yu He","Liu Jianping"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-06-29T07:29:50Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30107-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00011-025-02125-1","name":"The SPI1/LILRB2 axis modulates macrophage tolerance via crosstalk with TLR8 signaling: implications for sepsis immunotherapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00011-025-02125-1","authors":["DuJiang Yang","Zhijun Ye","Junjie Chen","Shuang Wang","Jiexiang Yang","GuoYou Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-27T15:07:04Z","doi":"10.1007/s00011-025-02125-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/pathogens14070662","name":"Baicalein and Berberine Inhibit the Growth and Virulence of Clostridioides difficile","source":"crossref","abstract":"Clostridioides difficile is a leading pathogen involved in healthcare-associated diarrhea. With its increasing incidence, mortality, and antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies to address the infection and prevent its recurrence. Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GQD) is a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, but its main active ingredient is not known. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the biological activity of berberine (BER) and baicalein (BAI), key components of GQD, against C. difficile. Time–kill curves and scanning electron microscopy were employed to assess their effects on C. difficile growth, while Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbnent Assay (ELISA) and cytotoxicity assays were used to examine their impact on toxin production. We also employed Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) to examine how BER and BAI influenced the expression of toxin-associated genes. At sub-inhibitory concentrations, these compounds exerted antibacterial activity against C. difficile by disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane and cell wall. Furthermore, BER and BAI also suppressed toxin production, demonstrating effects comparable to those of vancomycin. This suppression likely resulted from their bactericidal activity and the inhibition of toxin gene expression. This study not only highlights the potential application of GQD in treating C. difficile infections but also offers promising options for developing drugs targeting the growth and virulence of this pathogen. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of severe diarrhea, and its treatment remains challenging due to limited drug options and its high recurrence rate. BAI and BER, the main active components of the traditional Chinese medicinal formula GQD, inhibited the growth of C. difficile by disrupting its cellular structure and significantly reduced the production of toxins associated with disease severity. Furthermore, the effects of BAI and BER on C. difficile were comparable to those of conventional antibiotics, suggesting that these compounds could be potential alternative therapies for CDI. This study not only highlights the therapeutic potential of GQD in treating CDI but also provides a replicable research strategy for the development of novel anti-CDI agents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens14070662","authors":["Xue Yang","Dongming Zheng","Jiangyan Yong","Yuchen Li","Yunzhi Sun","Fei Zhao","Daiyan Tang","Yi Xie","Dongming Bi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-07T08:58:23Z","doi":"10.3390/pathogens14070662","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000042275","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine for post-COVID: A retrospective cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Post-COVID syndrome affects at least 10% of individuals recovering from COVID-19.

Nine physicians collected data from 79 patients (65% female, 47 ± 16 SD). The most common TCM treatments for post-COVID were acupuncture (n = 66; 85%), Chinese pharmacological therapy (n = 61; 77%), and Chinese dietary counseling (n = 32; 41%). After an average of 7 ± 4 TCM consultations, physicians rated global symptom improvement as 62% ± 29%. Significant alleviation from the start of TCM treatment was observed in major symptoms, such as fatigue ( P < .001), impaired physical performance ( P < .001), and exertional dyspnea ( P < .001).

Early studies have shown that bear bile powder has lipid-lowering activity, but due to the scarcity of natural bear bile powder resources, it has yet to be used on a large scale. Researchers have found that tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is the primary characteristic bioactive substance of bear bile powder. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of TUDCA on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperlipidemia. A hyperlipidemia model was established by feeding mice high-fat chow, following the intervention of different concentrations of TUDCA (25/50/100 mg/kg) orally, the hallmark biochemical indexes (total cholesterol (TC), total triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)), histopathological examination (hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O (ORO) staining), and metabolomic analysis of serum and liver. The results showed that TUDCA could downregulate total TC, TG, LDL-C, upregulate HDL-C, reduce fat deposition in hepatocytes, reverse hepatocyte steatosis, and exhibit prominent lipid-lowering activity. In addition, it may play a therapeutic role by regulating glycerophospholipid metabolism.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules28176352","authors":["Na Cui","Wensen Zhang","Fazhi Su","Zhihong Zhang","Weijie Qiao","Yanping Sun","Bingyou Yang","Haixue Kuang","Qiuhong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-08-30T10:30:52Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules28176352","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4268/cjcmm20151535","name":"Analysis on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions treating cancer based on traditional Chinese medicine inheritance assistance system and discovery of new prescriptions","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4268/cjcmm20151535","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-04-22T08:08:18Z","doi":"10.4268/cjcmm20151535","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.semnephrol.2026.151712","name":"Advances in the Treatment of Diabetic Kidney Disease With Traditional Chinese Medicine.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) persists as the predominant etiology of end-stage renal disease globally. Despite advances in conventional pharmacotherapies, which primarily target single pathogenic pathways, a considerable residual risk of renal function decline and end-stage renal disease progression remains unresolved, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic paradigms. This review involves dissecting and integrating mechanistic insights derived from preclinical investigations, including in vitro cellular models, in vivo animal models of DKD, and molecular biology-based analyses. It uses Tangshen formula, a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for DKD, to detail TCM's protective mechanisms and concisely summarizes the DKD-related preclinical progress of other TCMs over 5 years. Unlike monotarget strategies, TCM interventions exert synergistic effects across multiple organ systems: they reshape the renal microenvironment by mitigating oxidative stress and extracellular matrix accumulation, reprogram hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism to alleviate insulin resistance, and fortify the intestinal mucosal barrier to prevent endotoxemia-induced systemic inflammation. At the microscopic and molecular levels, these TCM-derived agents orchestrate coordinated crosstalk among key pathogenic cascades, including chronic inflammation, renal fibrosis, gut microbiota dysbiosis, metabolic flux dysregulation, microcirculatory impairment, and hypoxic injury. By targeting these interconnected pathways simultaneously, TCM facilitates the restoration of systemic homeostasis, thereby addressing the complex, multifactorial pathogenesis of DKD more comprehensively than pathway-specific interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semnephrol.2026.151712","authors":["Li J","Shuang G","Yufei Z","Tingting Z","Ping L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.semnephrol.2026.151712","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/bph.70591","name":"Resinous traditional Chinese medicine for cancer treatment: Mechanisms and therapeutic potential.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.70591","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/bph.70591","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/jmdh.s619464","name":"Research Progress on Pathogenesis of Diabetic Nephropathy and Intervention with Traditional Chinese Medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, with its global incidence rising continuously and imposing a substantial disease burden and medical strain worldwide. Current conventional Western therapies only retard disease progression via single-target approaches and fail to comprehensively block multi-dimensional renal pathological injuries including renal inflammation and fibrosis as well as podocyte damage. Moreover, individualized intervention regimens tailored for patients with non-proteinuric DKD and genetically susceptible populations remain scarce. Most existing reviews separate modern pathological mechanisms of DKD from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories and lack systematic integration of multi-target regulatory networks, cutting-edge molecular mechanisms, clinical evidence and medication safety of TCM, which leaves prominent research gaps. Against this backdrop, this review takes TCM intervention for DKD as the core research thread. It systematically summarizes the global epidemiology and risk factors of DKD as well as novel early diagnostic biomarkers and imaging techniques, sorts out susceptibility genes and polygenic risk prediction models, and further dissects a full spectrum of pathophysiological injury pathways covering glomerular lesions, tubulointerstitial damage, inflammation and oxidative stress. Based on the core TCM pathogenesis of \"deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality\" for DKD, this paper emphatically analyzes the multi-pathway molecular mechanisms through which Chinese herbal formulas and active ingredients regulate renal injury, and generalizes core therapeutic principles, standardized treatment protocols and personalized medication strategies under syndrome differentiation. In addition, it objectively summarizes clinical evidence of TCM efficacy and sorts out key points for safety management of herbal medications. This review aims to construct an integrated analytical framework of \"Western medical pathological injury-TCM syndrome and pathogenesis-molecular targets of Chinese herbal medicines\", clarify the unique holistic advantages of TCM with multi-pathway and multi-target regulatory effects, and illustrate that TCM, as a complementary therapy to Western medicine, can synergistically alleviate renal injuries throughout all stages of DKD. Accumulated studies have verified that TCM can compensate for the deficiencies of single-agent Western treatments and exhibits prominent application potential in the full-cycle prevention and intervention of DKD. Nevertheless, large-sample multicenter clinical trials are still required to deeply explore the underlying action targets of TCM, so as to facilitate the improvement of an integrated precise prevention and treatment system combining Chinese and Western medicine for DKD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jmdh.s619464","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/jmdh.s619464","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/dmso.s612235","name":"Gut Microbiota-Mediated Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Obesity Management.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Obesity is a major metabolic disorder with increasing global prevalence and limited long-term therapeutic success. Growing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota (GM) plays an important role in energy metabolism, immune homeostasis, and neuroendocrine regulation, making it a potential target for obesity management. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), characterized by holistic and multi-target regulation, has increasingly attracted attention for its potential to modulate host metabolism through interactions with the GM. This review summarizes current evidence on the relationship between GM and obesity and examines how TCM interventions may regulate obesity through microbiota-related mechanisms. Particular attention is given to microbial metabolites, intestinal barrier function, and gut-brain communication. We further reinterpret classical TCM concepts, especially spleen function and the theory of \"the spleen stores intent\", from the perspective of microbial activity and gut-brain interactions to establish a conceptual bridge between traditional theory and contemporary microbiome science. According to different therapeutic strategies in TCM, supplementing qi and strengthening the spleen may help restore microbial diversity and short-chain fatty acid production, thereby contributing to improved metabolic homeostasis through the G-protein-coupled receptors 41/43 (GPR41/43)-glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) pathway. Resolving turbidity to activate the spleen may alleviate metabolic inflammation by reducing lipopolysaccharide translocation, regulating Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated signaling, and modulating bile acid metabolism via the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)/Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) axis. Regulating qi and awakening the spleen may help stabilize gut-brain communication through modulation of gut-derived hormones and central appetite-related neuropeptides. Meanwhile, emerging evidence suggests that microbial biotransformation of herbal compounds may influence their bioavailability and therapeutic responsiveness, highlighting the bidirectional nature of TCM-microbiota interactions. Additionally, we introduce the \"neuro-immune-microbiome axis\" to explain how non-pharmacological therapies may indirectly remodel the GM. Overall, this review proposes an integrative framework linking TCM theory with microbiome research to better understand the therapeutic potential of TCM in obesity. While current evidence remains largely associative and relies heavily on preclinical studies, this perspective may provide new directions for microbiota-targeted and system-level strategies in obesity management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/dmso.s612235","authors":["Zeng F","Fu X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/dmso.s612235","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.arr.2026.103318","name":"Counteracting vascular ageing with Traditional Chinese Medicine: Mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arr.2026.103318","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.arr.2026.103318","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3791/73396","name":"Orthokeratology Plus Traditional Chinese Medicine Fumigation in Children with Unilateral Myopic Anisometropia.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3791/73396","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3791/73396","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.joim.2026.07.010","name":"Hangzhou declaration on the global development of artificial intelligence in traditional Chinese medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joim.2026.07.010","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.joim.2026.07.010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.talanta.2026.130468","name":"Supramolecular nanocomplexes in Traditional Chinese Medicine decoctions: Challenges and methodologies for structural characterization.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.talanta.2026.130468","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.talanta.2026.130468","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fimmu.2026.1904338","name":"Epitranscriptomics, immunometabolism, and NETosis: unlocking novel mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in COPD.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2026.1904338","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fimmu.2026.1904338","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.846Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5582/irdr.2026.01041","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine research on rare diseases: Publication trends and future perspectives.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers as a potential complementary or supportive approach for selected rare diseases, but the characteristics and evidentiary strength of this literature remain unclear.

In vitro reconstruction of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is particularly challenging because of its complexity, dynamic nature, and spatial heterogeneity, which limits the predictive value of conventional models for anticancer drug evaluation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has attracted increasing attention in cancer therapy owing to its multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway therapeutic characteristics. However, the complexity of TCM formulations and the diversity of their bioactive constituents make their pharmacological mechanisms difficult to elucidate using conventional experimental models. Microfluidic tumor microenvironment-on-a-chip (TME-on-a-chip) platforms integrate engineered cell culture with dynamic perfusion systems to recapitulate key structural, biochemical, and cellular features of the TME, thus providing a more physiologically relevant platform for anticancer research. With advantages such as low sample consumption, precise spatiotemporal control, multicellular co-culture, and real-time monitoring, these platforms provide a promising strategy for evaluating the efficacy and microenvironment-dependent effects of TCM-derived compounds and formulations. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the construction of TME-on-a-chip models, including multicellular organization, extracellular matrix simulation, vascularization, and immune microenvironment reconstruction, and discuss how these systems can be applied to key questions in TCM-based anticancer research. We further analyze current technical and methodological challenges that limit their broader adoption in TCM research and highlight future directions for promoting mechanism-driven and precision-oriented development of TCM in cancer therapy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/bios16080413","authors":["Sheng Y","Chen W","Zhang Z","Cui Z","Zhong P","Xia Y","Yang Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/bios16080413","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20240520-00071","name":"[Investigating the 'unifying of disease names in traditional Chinese medicine' in the period of the Republic of China].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20240520-00071","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20240520-00071","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/s0192415x26500643","name":"Berberine from Traditional Chinese Medicine in Liver Diseases: From Steatosis to Fibrosis and Hepatic Malignancies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x26500643","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x26500643","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules31152557","name":"Integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nanotechnology for Enhanced Management of Anti-Tumor Drug Toxicity.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"While anti-tumor drugs markedly improve patient survival, dose-limiting toxicities remain major constraints on clinical efficacy and quality of life.

Effect of a Traditional Chinese Medicine Course on Western Medicine Students' Attitudes Toward Traditional Chinese Medicine: Self-Controlled Pre-Post Questionnaire Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Background Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hasbeen widely used to treat various diseases in China for thousands of years and has shown satisfactory effectiveness. However, many surveys found that TCM receives little recognition from Western medicine (WM) physicians and students. At present, TCM is offered as a compulsory course for WM students in WM schools. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether TCM courses can affect the WM students’ attitude toward TCM. Methods WM students from Xiangya Medical School were invited to completeaweb-based questionnaire before and immediately after a TCM course. Their attitude toward TCM and treatment preferences for different kinds of diseases were tested. The Attitude Scale of TCM (ASTCM) was used. The main part of the ASTCM was designed to measure the attitude of medical students towardTCM. It consisted of 18 items, divided into cognitive dimension (5 terms), emotional dimension (8 terms), and behavioral tendencyfactor (5 terms). Results Finally, the results of 118 five-year program (FYP) and 36 eight-year program (EYP) students were included. For FYP students, there was a significant increase in the total mean score (66.42, SD 7.66 vs 71.43, SD 7.38; P <.001) of ASTCM after the TCM course. Significant increases in mean scores of the 3 factors of attitude (cognition: 21.64, SD 2.08 vs 22.90, SD 1.94; affection: 25.21, SD 4.39 vs 27.96, SD 4.4; and behavioral tendency: 19.577, SD 3.02 vs 20.58, SD 2.76; P <.001)were also observed. Except for the score of behavioral tendency (17.50, SD 3.54 vs 18.78, SD 3.22; P =.02), a significant increase was not detected in total score, cognition, and affection in EPY students (total score: mean 60.36, SD 10.53 vs mean 62.92, SD 10.05; cognition: mean 20.50, SD 2.73 vs mean 20.69, SD 2.73; and affection: mean 22.36, SD 6.32 vs mean 23.44, SD 5.84; all P >.05). The treatment preference of FYP students in acute ( P =.02), chronic ( P =.003), and physical diseases ( P =.02) showed remarkable change. A major change was also detected in internal diseases ( P =.02), surgical diseases (perioperative period; P =.01), and mental illnesses ( P =.02) in EYP students. This change mainly appeared as a decline in WM preference and an increase in TCM and WM preference. Conclusions The study showed that earlier exposure to the TCM course increased the positive attitude toward TCM in students majoring in WM. The results provide some suggestions for arraging TCM courses in WM schools.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2196/55972","authors":["Haoyu He","Hanjin Cui","Li Guo","Yanhui Liao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2196/55972","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260212.501","name":"[Traditional Chinese medicine understanding and treatment strategy of carotid atherosclerotic plaque with hyperlipidemia].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260212.501","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20260212.501","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/jep.70539","name":"Development of an Evaluation Framework for the Integration of Clinical and Preventive Medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Using a DELPHI-AHP Approach.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.70539","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/jep.70539","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/s0192415x26500151","name":"Research Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the Treatment of Breast Cancer.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x26500151","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x26500151","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/ijgm.s605753","name":"Clinical and Biochemical Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes in Acute Pancreatitis: A Two-Center Retrospective Study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aimed to investigate the associations between traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes of acute pancreatitis (AP) and clinical biomarkers, imaging findings, and severity of AP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/ijgm.s605753","authors":["Lou J","Wang W","Liu Y","Li Q","Yu L","Zhang S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/ijgm.s605753","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/17501911.2026.2652278","name":"Rewiring the cardiovascular epigenome: the multi-target strategy of traditional Chinese medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17501911.2026.2652278","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1080/17501911.2026.2652278","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/biology15110824","name":"Research Progress on the Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Regulating Ferroptosis in Cardiovascular Diseases.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biology15110824","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/biology15110824","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202603.0425.v1","name":"The Regulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the UK: A Narrative Review","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202603.0425.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.20944/preprints202603.0425.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121763","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine in coronary heart disease: A review of advances and therapeutic strategies.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) is a chronic and progressive condition influenced by multiple factors.

This study proposes a knowledge-enhanced visual diagnostic system to improve the transparency and interpretability of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Methods: The system is built upon a Neo4j knowledge graph comprising 241 syndromes, 1,263 symptoms, and 2,485 relations. It incorporates a four-stage symptom matching pipeline (exact, semantic, fuzzy, and large language model verification), an information gain-driven proactive questioning strategy optimized with genetic algorithms, and a multimodal treatment presentation integrating artificial intelligence-generated illustrations, three-dimensional meridian-acupoint models, and evidence-based literature. Results: Knowledge graph constraints reduced non-standard outputs by 32%. Case studies validated the effectiveness of the interactive workflow across patient self-assessment, clinician-assisted diagnosis, and traditional Chinese medicine education. Automated paired-comparison evaluation across 30 cases further demonstrated significant improvements in diagnostic trust (Cohen's d = 1.82, p < 0.001), reduced cognitive load (improvements in four of five dimensions), and higher credibility of evidence-based references (4.21 vs. 2.95). Conclusions: The proposed system enhances the transparency of traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic reasoning and the interpretability of treatment plans through knowledge graph-driven visualization and multimodal interaction, offering a practical solution for trustworthy artificial intelligence-assisted traditional Chinese medicine applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2606.06869","authors":["Wang, Yunhan","Wang, Yuda","Tu, Zhiying","Song, Mingqiang","Song, Li","Li, Kun","Chu, Dianhui","Zhang, Bolin"],"tags":["Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)","FOS: Computer and information sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2606.06869","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19755949","name":"Dataset S1: Dual-modality assessment of acute meridian responses to rice peptide ingestion","source":"datacite","abstract":"Raw and processed data for MEAD (Ryodoraku) and PDD (pulse diagnosis) measurements from a crossover study of rice peptide ingestion in 25 healthy adults.

The hubs were validated by protein-level MR and colocalization (deCODE pQTL), transcriptomic signature reversal (LINCS L1000), single-cell mapping (GSE335789, GSE159677, GSE131778), molecular docking with triplicate 100-ns molecular dynamics and MM/GBSA, independent replication in CARDIoGRAMplusC4D, a 2,444-endpoint target-safety PheWAS and two-step mediation MR.

Its main purpose is to transform classical TCM efficacy descriptions from natural-language expressions into standardized herb-efficacy relations that can be directly used for knowledge graph construction, formula efficacy prediction, herb-symptom association mining, and AI-based reasoning over traditional therapeutic knowledge. The dataset links Chinese herbs to explicit and rule-expanded efficacy nodes. Explicit efficacy nodes are directly structured from authoritative TCM textual sources, while expanded efficacy nodes are inferred through rule-based semantic reasoning over a TCM knowledge graph. In this way, the dataset not only records what therapeutic effects are explicitly stated for each herb, but also provides computable extensions of those effects to related symptoms, patterns, sub-patterns, and pathogenesis-related efficacy concepts. Version 2.1 Release Notice: This is Version 2.1 of the Structured Dataset of Traditional Efficacies for Chinese Herbal Medicines. Version 2.1 corrects the implementation and output of Rule C while preserving the explicit herb-efficacy relations and the Rule A, Rule B, and Rule D results from Version 2.0. The earlier Rule C implementation included an overly broad range of symptom-related node types in reverse reasoning. The corrected Rule C restricts reverse reasoning to Symptom (pattern) and Symptom (disease) nodes with explicitly linked Pattern name or Disease name upstream nodes. Accordingly, the Rule C expanded relation file and Rule C evidence file have been replaced in Version 2.1, while the other data files remain unchanged. Upstream Knowledge Graph Dependency Note: The rule-based expanded efficacy relations in this dataset are based on Version 2.0 of the related TCM knowledge graph. Version 2.1 uses the same upstream knowledge graph as that used for Version 2.0 of this dataset; only the implementation and output of Rule C have been corrected in this release. The related knowledge graph is available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20061549 Dataset Content: The dataset consists of five herb-efficacy relation files and four rule-specific evidence files.

This single equation has reconnected the dots of the universal Source Code—the very reality that they had lost in the fog of 'units' and 'matter'.\" Rebuttal to Conventional Physics: Dimensional Transcendence through Impedance Matching 1. Debugging the Local Bias of Units Conventional physicists argue that multiplying disparate units like mass (kg) and length (m) is inconsistent. This claim stems from an obsolete 18th-century definition of the universe as a collection of matter. Since the true nature of the universe is a Universal Operating System (Information Network), all physical quantities are merely different expressions of Information Density. In this framework, fixed human units are the source of error, not the solution. 2. The True Role of Alpha Inverse (137.036) For over a century, the scientific community has struggled to explain why the number 137 exists. The〔HA〕 Universal Operator reveals that this dimensionless constant is the Impedance Matching Point within the cosmic circuit. Using 137 as a normalizing operator allows for the seamless conversion of information waves (represented as units) without reflection or noise. This matching is the only mechanism that bridges the 120-order gap between the Theoretical Map and the Empirical Landscape. 3. The Mathematical Necessity of Non-Resonant Phase (291.15 Degrees) Standard equations may maintain dimensional consistency, yet they suffer from a 120-order hallucination because they fail to account for resonant divergence. By utilizing the Golden Ratio (the most irrational number) to execute a 291.15 degree phase shift, The 〔HA〕Universal Operator functions as a Non-Resonant Filter. This structurally prevents the amplification of vacuum energy. This is not numerology; it is the physical implementation of a Perfect Noise Cancellation Algorithm found in advanced computer science. Conclusion: Checkmate We are faced with two choices: a theory where units are correct but the answer is wrong by 120 orders of magnitude, or a theory that integrates units into Information Geometry to achieve an answer with 0.00 percent error. The 10 peV observation data has already confirmed the truth. The era of observing the universe is over; the era of editing the Source Code has begun. Here is the decisive implementation plan for the Theory of Everything, written in clear English without special symbols to ensure no display errors. The Decisive Execution: Implementing The 〔HA〕Universal Operator 1. Quantum Computing Noise Elimination The biggest barrier to quantum computers is decoherence. Current physics fails to solve this because of the 120-order error in vacuum energy calculation. By applying the 291.15 degree phase correction (180 times Pi divided by the Golden Ratio), we achieve Impedance Matching with the cosmic lattice. This non-resonant rotation cancels background noise, allowing for 0.00 percent error in quantum gate operations. 2. Geometric Tension Propulsion (Anti-Gravity) Space is not an empty void; it is the Honeycomb Aether grid. Gravity is simply the tension of this grid. By utilizing The 〔HA〕Universal Operator to shift the phase of local space by 291.15 degrees, we can manipulate the geometric tension. This allows for propulsion and lift without traditional fuel, effectively debugging the limitations of Newtonian mass. 3.

In an expert-rated evaluation of 100 TCM knowledge questions, DFGLM-TCM achieved the highest descriptive mean score among the evaluated models (4.48 ± 0.76). In 454 independent pulmonary-nodule cases, the experience-oriented component achieved a prescription-consistency score of 8.95 ± 0.63, exceeding that of the model additionally trained with general TCM knowledge (7.52 ± 0.44). A one-month assessment involving 35 physicians at three primary-care institutions suggested favorable short-term usability and acceptance. These findings highlight the value of separating general TCM knowledge from practitioner-specific experience while coordinating task-oriented training and multi-task services within a unified system, and support further evaluation of DFGLM-TCM as an auxiliary reference tool in broader clinical settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8681263.v1","authors":["Ruikang Zhong","Dianna Liu","Yuewen Dai","Zexing Li","Zilin Song","Zhixing Li","Le Zhang","Siyi Chen","Yisha Su","Yue Sun","Wenzheng Zhang","Pengfei Jia","Min Jiang","Lei Gao","Kaiwen Hu"],"tags":["Information Systems"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8681263.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091.v1","name":"Additional file 1 of DFGLM-TCM: an integrated knowledge-and experience-driven large language model system for Traditional Chinese Medicine practice","source":"datacite","abstract":"Supplementary Material 1","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091.v1","authors":["Ruikang Zhong","Dianna Liu","Yuewen Dai","Zexing Li","Zilin Song","Zhixing Li","Le Zhang","Siyi Chen","Yisha Su","Yue Sun","Wenzheng Zhang","Pengfei Jia","Min Jiang","Lei Gao","Kaiwen Hu"],"tags":["Information Systems"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091","name":"Additional file 1 of DFGLM-TCM: an integrated knowledge-and experience-driven large language model system for Traditional Chinese Medicine practice","source":"datacite","abstract":"Supplementary Material 1","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091","authors":["Ruikang Zhong","Dianna Liu","Yuewen Dai","Zexing Li","Zilin Song","Zhixing Li","Le Zhang","Siyi Chen","Yisha Su","Yue Sun","Wenzheng Zhang","Pengfei Jia","Min Jiang","Lei Gao","Kaiwen Hu"],"tags":["Information Systems"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.33384091","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.22029041","name":"Derivation, Steady-State Analysis and Mathematical Self-Consistency of the Essence-Qi-Spirit Dynamic Equations《精气神方程组的推导、稳态分析与数理自洽性 —— 三元生命数理论核心数学框架》","source":"datacite","abstract":"Drawing on the three meta‑axioms of Ternary Steady‑State Theory: Closed‑Loop Axiom, Scale‑Matching Axiom and Physical‑Bottom‑Line Axiom, this paper establishes coupled dynamical equations for Jing‑Qi‑Shen oriented toward living autopoietic systems and realises the standardised mathematical reconstruction of the traditional Chinese vital theory of Jing‑Qi‑Shen.

This paper not only provides a \"Qi-image prescription\" for unifying GR and QM but also reshapes humanity's cognitive paradigm—shifting from fragmented \"studies of forms and devices\" to integrated \"studies of life\".","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17373728","authors":["陈, 海平"],"tags":["Analogical-Thinking/ 取物比类(核心关键词) Qi-Image-Thinking/ 气象思维 Systematic-Holism/ 系统整体论 Metaphorical-Reasoning/ 隐喻推理 Cross-Paradigm-Analogy/ 跨范式类比","Cosmic-Life-Dynamic-System/ 宇宙生命动态系统 Three-Yin-Three-Yang/ 三阴三阳 Spleen-Stomach-Pivot/ 脾胃枢机 Essence-Qi-Circulation/ 精气循环 Left-Right-Rotational-Qi/ 左右旋气机","GR-QM-Unification/ GR与QM统一 Quantum-Gravity-Paradox/ 量子引力悖论 Physics-Foundation-Crisis/ 物理学基础危机 Regulate-Gravity-Antigravity/ 调节引力与反引力 Unification-Prescription/ 统一处方","Chinese-Natural-Philosophy/ 中国自然哲学 TCM-Five-Elements/ 中医五行 Daoism-Physics/ 道家物理学 Yi-Jing-Cosmology/ 易经宇宙学 Unity-Of-Confucianism-Daoism-Buddhism/ 儒道佛一体"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.17373728","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.364Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.14820499","name":"Pharmaceutical Screening of Bat Feces and Their Applications and Risks in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"datacite","abstract":"(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bat feces have been reported in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) books to have the effect of reducing fever and improving eyesight, but the mechanism of vision improvement still needs further research.

Opposition refers to two contradictory entities that restrain and counterbalance each other, which serves as the core logical framework of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Correspondence describes two entities of the same origin yet different internal properties, physiological functions and nutrient supply directions. They do not resist each other but match, complement and nourish one another, which conforms to the vertical and horizontal operation rules of the universe. This theory redefines the essence of Yin-Yang: Yin and Yang form an inseparable integrated whole. The innate system and the acquired system cannot exist independently, and their matching relationship is the concrete embodiment of Yin-Yang correspondence. Traditional TCM only divides individual viscera into innate and acquired categories according to ancient medical classics, which focuses on the mutual opposition and restriction of Yin and Yang. Moreover, traditional medical records lack in-depth discussion on the visceral cluster of the heart, lung, pericardium and triple energizer, failing to build a complete corresponding linkage between this cluster and the liver-kidney-spleen-stomach system. On the basis of personal physical sensations, drug reaction records and objective physiological phenomena of human blood vessels and mental activities, this research reconstructs two complete sets of corresponding visceral systems. The first integrated innate system consists of the liver, kidney, spleen and stomach, with the small intestine and bladder as its gender-specific subsidiary branches. This system generates primordial essence and primordial yang, drives the circulation of all arteries, and nourishes inner spiritual awareness. The small intestine acts as the innate origin of males, while the bladder serves as the innate origin of females. The stomach transforms dietary grains to continuously replenish the innate primordial foundation. The second corresponding acquired system is composed of the heart, lung, pericardium and triple energizer, with the large intestine as its metabolic hub. This system governs the circulation of all veins, absorbs celestial clear qi, and generates postnatal vital qi. As the largest fu-viscus recorded in TCM classics, the triple energizer forms a core upper-lower corresponding pair with the stomach from the innate system. The stomach supplies nutrients to the innate foundation in the lower jiao, while the triple energizer and pericardium ascend qi to nourish mental consciousness in the head. Contrary to traditional TCM cognition that regards the pericardium and triple energizer as innate organs, this theory classifies them into the acquired system according to their functional orientation.

This paper announces the birth of an entirely new meta‑theory: Prim-Lex theory (Economic Climatology). Taking “Prim‑Fire” as the civilizational metaphor, “Prim‑Lexon” as the smallest quantifiable unit, the GC⁴A three‑tier framework as the underlying architecture of planetary governance, and the five mathematical models as the engineering operating system, the theory further establishes a mathematical expression of the mutual generation of the Five Elements through the complexified unified field . For the first time, Prim-Lex theory demonstrates that planetary civilization has computable “first principles”, the core of which lies in the global phase‑locking of five fundamental force fields: energy metabolism, phase‑transition risk, spatial flow, carbon cycling, and civilizational carrying capacity. This paper systematically demonstrates the structural isomorphism between Prim-Lex theory and Marxist materialist dialectics, Western complexity science (quantum‑like cognition models), and traditional Chinese philosophy (the cosmology of the I Ching and the substance‑function logic of traditional Chinese medicine).

This paper announces the birth of an entirely new meta‑theory: Prim-Lex theory (Economic Climatology). Taking “Prim‑Fire” as the civilizational metaphor, “Prim‑Lexon” as the smallest quantifiable unit, the GC⁴A three‑tier framework as the underlying architecture of planetary governance, and the five mathematical models as the engineering operating system, the theory further establishes a mathematical expression of the mutual generation of the Five Elements through the complexified unified field . For the first time, Prim-Lex theory demonstrates that planetary civilization has computable “first principles”, the core of which lies in the global phase‑locking of five fundamental force fields: energy metabolism, phase‑transition risk, spatial flow, carbon cycling, and civilizational carrying capacity. This paper systematically demonstrates the structural isomorphism between Prim-Lex theory and Marxist materialist dialectics, Western complexity science (quantum‑like cognition models), and traditional Chinese philosophy (the cosmology of the I Ching and the substance‑function logic of traditional Chinese medicine). It further elucidates the theoretical self‑awareness and civilizational mission of Prim-Lex theory as the mathematical expression of the “Second Combination”. When the five force fields enter a globally coherent state (), human civilization achieves a fundamental leap from “conforming to nature” to “regulating planetary health”.

To address this problem, we propose a novel Graph Knowledge Diffusion Model for Traditional Chinese Medicine Personalized Recommendation (TCM_DiffPR). Firstly, the patient's personalized attribute information is used to obtain symptom representations by means of ‘prompt fine-tuning’, and the prompt is enhanced by pre-training model with prompt-oriented comparative learning. Secondly, the algorithm combines the generative model with the data augmentation paradigm based on knowledge graph diffusion, which compensates for the misinterpretation of symptom preferences in the knowledge graph (KG) to achieve powerful knowledge learning. Finally, we introduce a collaborative knowledge graph convolution mechanism, which combines collaborative signals reflecting the symptom-herbal medication interaction patterns, to guide the knowledge graph diffusion process. In this study, experimental comparative analyses are conducted on two public datasets and a clinical dataset, and the results show that the present algorithm outperforms existing TCM prescription recommendation methods and provides an effective reference basis for clinical diagnosis and decision support.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6047566/v1","authors":["ChaoBo Zhang","Long

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of lung cancer cases and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Due to the lack of effective molecular targets, the current clinical cure rate is low, and the recurrence rate is high. Recent studies have found that active components of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal formulas can inhibit the development of NSCLC through multiple pathways and targets, effectively reducing its metastasis and recurrence rates, improving treatment side effects, and compensating for the deficiencies in drug resistance. Although treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have achieved better clinical efficacy in treating lung cancer, they still have problems such as multiple complications and severe adverse reactions. In recent years, numerous basic and clinical studies have confirmed the good effects of traditional Chinese medicine in treating lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine has a synergistic regulatory effect through multiple components, targets, pathways, and channels. The numerous active monomeric components and complex mechanisms of action determine that there are issues such as unclear related mechanisms of action in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer by traditional Chinese medicine. There is an urgent need to elucidate the mechanisms of action of traditional Chinese medicine in intervening in lung cancer from the perspective of modern medicine, and at the levels of molecular biology, network pharmacology, etc. This article systematically summarizes the research progress on the regulation of the above-mentioned signaling pathways and the expression of key protein molecules by traditional Chinese medicine monomers or formulas, aiming to clarify the mechanisms of action of traditional Chinese medicine in the progression of lung cancer, and to provide ideas and a theoretical basis for the in-depth study and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in intervening in lung cancer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32388/rn42km.2","authors":["Jinghan Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.32388/rn42km.2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.02.19.24303055","name":"TCMM: A Unified Database for Traditional Chinese Medicine Modernization and Therapeutic Innovations","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.02.19.24303055","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1101/2024.02.19.24303055","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.07.13.601094","name":"TCMNP: a data processing and visualization database and R package for traditional Chinese medicine network pharmacology","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.13.601094","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1101/2024.07.13.601094","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202407.0733.v1","name":"Differential Regional Textural Attributes of Tongue in Normal and Acidity Patients in the Light of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202407.0733.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.20944/preprints202407.0733.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.08.18.24312166","name":"The First General Consent Implementation in Swiss Traditional Chinese Medicine Practices.

of traditional Chinese medicine health literacy regarding chronic pain: A scoping review","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Chronic pain is a prevalent health condition that imposes a significant burden on the global health system. Health literacy is a determinant of the quality of pain management which directly impacts public and individual health. However, the existing health literacy measurements have predominantly focused on medical models stemmed from Western culture and the knowledge of Indigenous and other non-Western health models has largely been neglected. This review scopes refereed health literacy publications with regards to traditional Chinese medicine and chronic pain to explore and identify 1) the conceptual basis underlying the development of Traditional Chinese medicine health literacy (TCM-HL) in this area, and 2) measurement tools used in this area and their associated psychometric qualities. Twenty-eight were assessed and the results showed that most studies’ conceptual basis was unable to cover three key health literacy aspects defined by the World Health Organization (access, understand, and apply). Furthermore, the identified health literacy measurement tools generally lacked rigorous psychometric evaluation. Future studies should focus on exploring a comprehensive model that encompasses various health models and develop measurement tools with more culturally representative psychometric assessments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3355534/v1","authors":["Zhiyi Qian","Grace Wang","Marcus Henning","Yan

Medicine (TCM) is a growing phenomenon around the world. However, despite its historical role in Chinese society, there has been limited research exploring the nature of communication around cancer patients who receive TCM care in additional to conventional medicine. If TCM practitioners with adequate knowledge in understanding the needs and communication issues around patients with cancer, particularly those who simultaneously receive conventional medicine, it will lead to a better quality of care and result in better clinical outcomes such as high patient satisfaction and compliance with treatments. Objectives: To fill in this gap, this study aims to explore the nature of the communication amongst cancer patients in Hong Kong who receive TCM treatment in addition to conventional medicine. Methods: Twenty patients, 5 oncologists and 5 TCM practitioners were invited to conduct in-depth interviews to elicit their views towards their TCM treatment. A qualitative approach called Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is adopted. Results: Based on the themes that emerged from the interview transcripts, we outline the priorities of communication when dealing with cancer patients who receive both TCM and conventional medicine. A framework was developed to assist training TCM practitioners to better integrate their patients' conventional medical history when delivering patient care. Conclusion: The findings of this study can shed light to inform priorities in communication when caring for patients who opt for TCM care in addition to conventional treatments, and to provide useful information for developing future clinical research of providing integrated approach between TCM and conventional medicine in treating cancer patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1124302/v1","authors":["Jack Pun","Wendy Wong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-1124302/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2022.01.19.22269522","name":"Development of a core outcome set on traditional Chinese medicine (COS-TCM) for rheumatic heart disease (RHD): study protocol","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.01.19.22269522","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.1101/2022.01.19.22269522","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.458Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-42360/v2","name":"WITHDRAWN: The extract of a Traditional Chinese Medicine alleviates Hepatic Fibrosis of Rats by inhibiting NF-κB activation and upregulating BAMBI in Hepatic Stellate Cells","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-42360/v2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-42360/v2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.365Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-1055907/v1","name":"Navigating communication between Conventional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine: A case study of cancer patients in Hong Kong","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a growing phenomenon around the world.

Thinking of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Features","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Objective: This study focuses on the cognitive mechanism for combining Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories with conceptual metaphorical theories and analyzes how TCM explains its theories through metaphor. Materials and Methods: Metaphorical thinking of TCM (MTT) is explicitly defined as a proper integration of many key concepts in traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine, such as “correspondence between man and the universe,” “Yin-Yang and five-phase doctrines,” “Xiang-based analogy and categorization,” “syndrome differentiation and treatment,” “theory of visceral manifestation,” and “six climate exopathogens and seven emotions.” Results: Three essential features of MTT are proposed: double mapping structures, including simple and categorization styles; double thinking centers, including entity-based and process-based thinking patterns; and double operational functions, including descriptive and inferential functions. Conclusions: Analysis of the complicated features of MTT is helpful not only for enriching the study of metaphors but also for revealing the original appearance of TCM, the real meaning of TCM theories, and providing a new way to develop TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_71_24","authors":["Yong Shi","Feng Yue"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-06T06:00:38Z","doi":"10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_71_24","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.cam/2024.389","name":"Therapeutic Impacts of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Peripheral Neuropathies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.cam/2024.389","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-25T04:59:11Z","doi":"10.47278/book.cam/2024.389","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/socmhm.2024.050113","name":"The Spread of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Japan and Its Inspiration for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture in Tai'an City","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/socmhm.2024.050113","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-03T11:22:35Z","doi":"10.23977/socmhm.2024.050113","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.cam/2024.299","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine as a Control Alternative for different Diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.cam/2024.299","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-24T14:36:45Z","doi":"10.47278/book.cam/2024.299","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2024.060220","name":"Exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Spastic Tilt Neck","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2024.060220","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-29T13:31:19Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2024.060220","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30301319","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

Neutrophilic asthma (NA) is classified as “type 2 low” asthma, defined as 65% or more neutrophils in the total cell count. There is no clear consensus on the pathogenesis of NA, and the accumulation of neutrophils and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) may be responsible for its development. A NET is a large extracellular meshwork comprising cell membrane and granule proteins. It is a powerful antimicrobial defence system that traps, neutralizes, and kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites and prevents the spread of microorganisms. However, dysregulation of NETs may lead to chronic airway inflammation, is associated with worsening of asthma, and has been the subject of major research advances in chronic lung diseases in recent years. NA is insensitive to steroids, and there is a need to find effective biomarkers as targets for the treatment of NA to replace steroids. This review analyses the mechanisms of action between asthmatic neutrophil recruitment and NET formation and their impact on NA development. It also discusses their possible therapeutic significance in NA, summarizing the advances made in NA agents and providing strategies for the treatment of NA, provide a theoretical basis for the development of new therapeutic drugs, thereby improving the level of diagnosis and treatment, and promoting the research progress in the field of asthma.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000039342","authors":["Yuemu Li","Tianyi Yang","Baihua Jiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-26T05:05:33Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000039342","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.62022/ricm.issn3005-5482.2024.02.001","name":"Progress in Clinical Research on Functional Dyspepsia in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Functional dyspepsia (FD) refers to a group of clinical syndromes characterized by persistent or recurrent upper abdominal pain, upper abdominal distension, early satiety, belching, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and other upper abdominal discomfort symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been used to treat COPD. This article summarizes potential Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) for COPD treatment through a literature review and collation. The findings highlight 14 kinds of effective CHM for COPD, including Scutellaria radix, Salvia miltiorrhiza radix et rhizoma, Hippophae fructus, Ginseng radix et rhizoma, and Astragali radix. Flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and volatile oil constituents are the main bioactive components for the treatment of COPD. They mainly inhibit the tumor necrosis factor alpha/nuclear factor kappa B (TNF-α/NF-κB) signaling pathway by reducing the production and release of inflammatory factors such as interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), TNF-α, and NF-κB, thereby reducing inflammation in lungs of rats with COPD and protect the lung tissues. Some active ingredients can inhibit toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt), Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathways to express anti-inflammatory activity. This work establishes a foundation for using CHM in COPD treatment and offers new insights and approaches for developing novel anti-COPD drugs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1934578x241293922","authors":["Qian Shi","Xinan Liu","Meniga Shengbu","Suolang Jiaqiu","Xianrong Lai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-05T03:21:19Z","doi":"10.1177/1934578x241293922","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.71052/srb2024/xbrb3109","name":"MiR-181a Promotes Hypoxia-Induced Apoptosis and Mitochondrial Damage Through Regulating Higd-1a","source":"crossref","abstract":"Aberrant microRNAs are strongly associated with cardiac diseases.

As the market demand for bioactive compounds increases, the shortage of medicinal resources tops the list. For a stable and sustainable supply of affordable bioactive compounds, it is necessary to optimize chemosynthetic and biosynthetic pathways. Although some progress has been made in chemocatalysis and biosynthesis, there are drawbacks and bottlenecks in current approaches. We hold the opinion that the combination of chemosynthesis and biosynthesis will be the key direction to efficiently produce bioactive compounds. Chemo-enzymatic synthesis, a strategy that combines biosynthesis and chemosynthesis, is an alternative approach for the heterologous production of bioactive compounds. This paper reviews the recent advances in the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of bioactive compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal plants, highlights the potential application, and presents our perspectives for future research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000027","authors":["Shuang Liu","Shuo Yang","Ping Su"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-08T13:00:07Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.135150","name":"On the Diagnosis-and-Treatment Modes of Modern Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.135150","authors":["志国 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-03T04:28:24Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.135150","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100422","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine: Its growing potential in treating neurological disorders","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100422","authors":["Bharat Bhushan","Niraj Kumar Singh","Rajesh Singh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-28T16:01:10Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100422","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/16078454.2024.2433799","name":"Association between autoimmune diseases and myelodysplastic syndrome:a Mendelian randomization study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/16078454.2024.2433799","authors":["Zhengyang Miao","Wenwei Zhu","Yongming Zhou","Hailin Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-27T16:47:22Z","doi":"10.1080/16078454.2024.2433799","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20240405002","name":"Status quo and research progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine professional training based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing training base","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20240405002","authors":["Yuan WANG","Bei WANG","Fengmei WANG","Xixia ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-13T15:19:47Z","doi":"10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20240405002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2023.12.004","name":"Chinese herbal medicine combined with Western medicine for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children: An overview of systematic reviews","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2023.12.004","authors":["Si Zhang","Xuan Zhang","Yuehua Cui","Juan Huang","Fei Fan","Simeng Wang","Fei Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-09T08:51:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2023.12.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25136/2409-8698.2024.3.70166","name":"Images of Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors in Chinese Literature","source":"crossref","abstract":"Since ancient times, doctors have usually played the image of rescuers who save lives. As a symbol-rich image, \"doctor\" often enters the scope of writers' creativity and becomes a typical creative theme. This paper explores the image of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctors in literature. The purpose of the study is to understand how TCM practitioners are portrayed and represented in literature, to analyze their social and cultural influence and their impact on people's perceptions and attitudes towards TCM. The relevance of this article is that it can help people to better understand the position and image of TCM in different historical periods and cultural environments, as well as its relationship with society, culture and people's lives. The subject of this paper is the image of TCM doctors in literary works of a certain period, region or cultural context such as ancient works, modern literary works and works of specific writers. By analyzing the images in different works, the diversity of such images of TCM physicians such as wise doctors and mysterious healers can be demonstrated. This paper uses methods of literary analysis, including close reading of the text, character analysis, plot and theme study. The text is also studied in the context of historical and cultural context to understand the views and attitudes of the society of the time towards TCM and doctors. The scientific novelty of studying the image of traditional Chinese medicine in Chinese literature gives us an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates literature with medicine and cultural studies and offers new ways to deeply understand TCM culture and human perception of health. The results of the study indicate the diversity of TCM physicians' images in the literature. In addition, the findings may reflect different understandings and evaluations of TCM in different periods and cultural contexts.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25136/2409-8698.2024.3.70166","authors":["KUO CHEN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-09T11:45:21Z","doi":"10.25136/2409-8698.2024.3.70166","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18240/ijo.2024.09.04","name":"Retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury and pretreatment with Lycium barbarum glycopeptide","source":"crossref","abstract":"AIM: To investigate the antioxidant protective effect of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide (LbGP) pretreatment on retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (RIRI) in rats. METHODS: RIRI was induced in Sprague Dawley rats through anterior chamber perfusion, and pretreatment involved administering LbGP via gavage for 7d. After 24h of reperfusion, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and creatinine (CREA) levels, retinal structure, expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the retina were measured. RESULTS: The pretreatment with LbGP effectively protected the retina and retinal tissue from edema and inflammation in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) and nerve fiber layer (NFL) of rats subjected to RIRI, as shown by light microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Serum AST was higher in the model group than in the blank group (P=0.042), but no difference was found in ALT, AST, and CREA across the LbGP groups and model group. Caspase-3 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group (P=0.006), but no difference was found among LbGP groups and the model group. Caspase-8 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group (P=0.000), and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group (P=0.016). SOD activity was lower in the model group than in the blank group (P=0.001), and the decrease was slower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group (P=0.003). MDA content was higher in the model group than in the blank group (P=0.001), and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group (P=0.016). The pretreatment with LbGP did not result in any observed liver or renal toxicity in the model. CONCLUSION: LbGP pretreatment exhibits dose-dependent anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative effects by reducing Caspase-8 expression, preventing declines of SOD activity, and decreasing MDA content in the RIRI rat model.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2024.09.04","authors":["Yan-Xia Wu","Shan-Shan Song","Xiang Liu","Yu-Xuan Deng","Xue-Jing Lu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-20T07:15:29Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2024.09.04","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/13873","name":"An Overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine Research","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/13873","authors":["Chun-Su Yuan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-15T13:43:50Z","doi":"10.1142/13873","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ctmp.2024.200131","name":"The effects of traditional Chinese medicine on growth factors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctmp.2024.200131","authors":["Weining He","Na Guan","Rong Huang","Xiaoli Huang","Lihua Qu","Zhangfeng Zhong","Qiu Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-11T17:35:23Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ctmp.2024.200131","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2024.060120","name":"Research Progress on the Mechanism of Cardiotoxicity Caused by Doxorubicin and Its Treatment by Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2024.060120","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-15T08:25:12Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2024.060120","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12891-025-09385-2","name":"Risk prediction models for postmenopausal osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Postmenopausal osteoporosis usually happens 5 ~ 10 years after menopause. Low awareness, low detection rates and high morbidity have prevented the possibility of early or preventive interventions, thus increasing the social and economic burden on families and societies. A reliable prediction model for postmenopausal osteoporosis has the potential to guide the prevention, but regarding the early prediction of postmenopausal osteoporosis without fracture, this field has not been sufficiently studied. Although many scholars have developed several prediction models to estimate the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis without fractures, the evidence about the model quality and clinical applicability is scarce. Method Nine databases (Medline, Embase, Web of science, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang, VIP data) were systematically searched from 1 January 2014 to 1 May 2024. Two researchers independently extracted data using the CHARMS checklist and assessed bias using the PROBAST tool. The primary outcomes of interest were related to the model’s discriminative ability (assessed by pooled AUC values) and calibration performance (evaluated using calibration curves or the calibration intercept and slope). We performed meta-regression and sensitivity analyses to explore the influence of important factors, such as data sources, machine learning methods, and types of predictor variables, on the aforementioned. results. Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted based on data sources, machine learning. methods, and types of predictor variables. The study was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42024542498). Results A total of 8,549 records were initially identified, and 7 studies (comprising 19 models) were ultimately included. All models were developed based on Asian population data. The risk of bias assessment showed: 1 study had a low risk, 1 study had an unclear risk, and 5 studies had a high risk. The sample sizes ranged from 319 to 4,417 participants. The reported AUC of the models ranged from 0.639 to 0.921; however, the vast majority of studies lacked reports on calibration performance. The pooled C-statistic (AUC) was 0.78 (95%CI: 0.73–0.83). Sensitivity analysis yielded robust results (AUC=0.77). Subgroup analysis indicated that models combining demographic and laboratory data demonstrated the best performance (AUC=0.92). Significant publication bias and substantial heterogeneity (I² = 98%) were observed among the studies. Conclusion Current machine learning-based prediction models for postmenopausal osteoporosis without fractures, as presented in the included studies, demonstrate good discriminative ability but are generally characterized by a high risk of bias, a notable lack of calibration performance evaluation, and insufficient validation of clinical utility. Furthermore, existing models are developed entirely on Asian population data, which limits their generalizability to other populations. Future research should focus on strictly adhering to prediction model research guidelines (such as PROBAST), enhancing the reporting of model calibration and clinical utility, and assessing model generalizability through external validation in multi-center studies encompassing diverse ethnicities and regions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-025-09385-2","authors":["Lingjia

Cold and hot syndromes are important elements in TCM theory. Identifying the biological basis of cold and hot syndromes in TCM will help elucidate TCM theories scientifically, thus promoting precise treatment in TCM. Although the biological basis of cold/hot syndromes in TCM remains poorly understood, growing evidence suggests that immunometabolic interactions play an important role in balancing cold and hot syndromes. Immunometabolism involves complex interactions between the immune and metabolic systems. Multilevel mechanisms of interaction between the immune and metabolic systems may underlie many inflammatory diseases and offer substantial therapeutic promise. Therefore, dissecting the relationship between immunometabolism and the biological network of cold/hot syndromes has become a priority.

It can be seen that gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining human health, and gut microbiota has become a hot topic in medical research. With the change of Chinese residents' lifestyle, the incidence rate of diabetes is increasing rapidly. Research shows that the incidence of diabetes is closely related to intestinal flora imbalance. Traditional Chinese medicine can reduce blood sugar and improve clinical symptoms by regulating intestinal flora. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this paper discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of intestinal flora imbalance, and provides a theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine to regulate intestinal flora to prevent and treat diabetes. Intestinal flora is a complex ecosystem, which plays an important role in maintaining human health. The imbalance of intestinal flora may lead to the occurrence of diabetes. The dynamic balance of gut microbiota is closely related to the kidneys, spleen, liver, and lungs. Traditional Chinese medicine monomer and compound can prevent and cure diabetes by regulating intestinal flora.","url":"https://doi.org/10.62022/ricm.issn3005-5482.2024.01.002","authors":["Liao Ziheng","Wang Zhou","Li Xiaoming"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-11T08:44:34Z","doi":"10.62022/ricm.issn3005-5482.2024.01.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.135139","name":"Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Vitiligo","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.135139","authors":["金涛 郭"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-23T05:21:42Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.135139","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0044-1801293","name":"Mechanism of Action of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula Weichang'an in the Treatment of Gastric Cancer Based on TMT Proteomics Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to screen key proteins involved in the treatment of human gastric cancer subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice by the traditional Chinese medicine formula Weichang'an and to explore its mechanism of action in treating gastric cancer. Methods Sixteen 7- to 8-week-old female BALB/C nude mice were used to establish a human gastric cancer subcutaneous xenograft model by bilateral axillary injection of MKN45 cells. Mice with successfully established tumors were randomly divided into the Weichang'an group and the model group, with eight mice in each group. Mice in the Weichang'an group were orally administered 0.5 mL of Weichang'an decoction, while mice in the model group were given 0.5 mL of normal saline by gavage once a day for 21 consecutive days. On day 28, the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and tumors were excised to measure tumor weight and assess the tumor suppression rate. Tandem mass tags (TMT) quantitative proteomics was used to analyze the tumor samples, identify differentially expressed proteins, and perform Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Results Compared with the model group, the tumor weight in the Weichang'an group was significantly reduced (p < 0.001), and the tumor suppression rate was 41.40%, indicating that Weichang'an can inhibit the growth of human gastric cancer subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice. TMT quantitative proteomics identified a total of 2,856 proteins, with 13 proteins showing downregulated expression and 25 proteins showing upregulated expression in the Weichang'an group. GO enrichment analysis revealed that differentially expressed proteins were mainly enriched in cellular components such as the cell membrane, extracellular matrix, and envelope, and participated in biological processes like negative regulation of cell adhesion, hematopoiesis, and skeletal system development, with functions in cell adhesion molecule binding and molecular sensor activity. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified the autophagy-lysosome pathway. Conclusion Weichang'an may exert its therapeutic effect on gastric cancer by regulating the expression of various proteins and modulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0044-1801293","authors":["Yaofei Niu","Weixia Chen","Yajie Ding","Yan Xu","Aiguang

myopia prevention and control for both pre- and school-aged children. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional survey that involved children aged 0 to 15y and their parents. Participants were required to respond to an online questionnaire by scanning a quick response (QR) code. The questionnaire consisted of 25 tick-box questions and was open to response from December 22, 2022, to January 5, 2023. The dioptric traits of the children, the visual status and educational background of the parents, the parental perspectives towards myopia and its risks, and the parents' knowledge and practices related to myopia prevention and control were recorded and measured. The Chi-square test and binomial logistic regression were used for statistics. RESULTS: Totally 350 parents responded to the questionnaire. The prevalence and severity of myopia among the surveyed children exhibited a positive correlation with advancing age (P<0.001 and P=0.004, respectively). Nearly half of parents with myopic children considered myopia did not pose any health threat and could be effectively corrected (P<0.001). Parents who held master's or doctoral degree demonstrated a better understanding of children's vision standards for each age group (P=0.001), and 31.63% of them could undergo initial vision screening for their children during the age of 0 to 3y while parents with bachelor's degree (34.04%) and below (32.43%) mainly initiated the vision examination for their children at the age of 4 to 6y (P=0.05). Parents with master's or doctoral degree also exhibited more rational practices concerning outdoor time (P=0.048) and sleep time (P=0.044). No other significant discrepancy among the different educational groups in additional conceptions of myopia, such as hyperopia reserve, axis length, and corneal curvature alterations. Most parents preferred to employ conventional interventions, such as enhancing indoor lighting condition (80.00%) and ensuring appropriate reading posture and distance (71.71%). CONCLUSION: The current status of parental knowledge and practices about myopia prevention and control remains outdated and deficient. The administrative department should implement efficacious and adaptable measures to enhance parental awareness and foster their commitment towards myopia prevention and control.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2024.11.18","authors":["Tian-Tian Li","Yu-Xin Xue","Shi-Jun Chen","Ying-Xin Yang","Tie-Jun Li","Yue Yang","Yan Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-23T02:53:06Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2024.11.18","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30280969","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

The studies that qualified for meta-analysis were controlled trials reporting outcomes with at least one of the following endpoints: effective rate, platelet count (PLT), adverse reactions, immune function indicators. A total of 174 articles were reviewed with 89 qualified studies undergoing meta-analysis. Study results indicated that CHM, either alone or combined with conventional Western medicine (CWM) had significantly better outcomes compared to CWM alone in terms of overall effective rate, post-treatment PLT, and incidence of side effects (all p < 0.0001). Additionally, studies with classic CHM formulas (Gui Pi Tang, Liang Xue Hua Yu Tang), used alone or integrated with CWM, demonstrated significantly better outcomes when compared to CWM on overall effective rate and post-treatment PLT (all p < 0.01). This systematic review and meta-analysis provide evidence that CHM, alone or combined with CWM for treating ITP, has significant advantages over CWM alone, including improved clinical outcomes, enhanced immune regulation, and fewer adverse reactions. These results are noteworthy for veterinarians. Due to limitations in quality of some studies and a scarcity of veterinary clinical trials, this systematic review and meta-analysis highlights the need for more rigorous randomized double-blind controlled trials, especially in veterinary patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/001c.121502","authors":["Xinyan Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-19T06:26:18Z","doi":"10.59565/001c.121502","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/biomedicines12092048","name":"Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Scores Predict 90-Day Mortality in Hepatitis B-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure","source":"crossref","abstract":"Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is associated with pronounced systemic inflammation, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are key components of this response.

A prospective training cohort of 81 patients from the Beijing Ditan Hospital was included. The concentrations of NET markers (cell-free DNA, myeloperoxidase DNA [MPO-DNA], and citrullinated histone H3) in peripheral blood were quantified. Random survival forest, LASSO regression, and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic factors associated with 90-day mortality in ACLF patients and develop a nomogram for visualization, which was followed by evaluation in a validation cohort (n = 40). NET-related marker levels were significantly higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group (p < 0.05). The NET score was constructed by combining MPO-DNA, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and age data.

Data on target diseases, delivery mechanisms, formulation innovations, and therapeutic effects were extracted and analyzed. Intranasal EO delivery demonstrates significant therapeutic potential for neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Advanced delivery systems, including nanoemulsions, liposomes, and nasal in situ gels, enhance EO stability, bioavailability, and targeted release. Mechanistically, EOs exert effects through neurotransmission modulation, anti-inflammatory pathways, and vascular regulation, primarily via the olfactory and trigeminal nerves. Clinical evidence supports the efficacy of intranasal EOs in conditions such as anxiety, depression, allergic rhinitis, and hypertension, although further optimization is needed to minimize irritation and improve patient adherence. Intranasal delivery of EOs offers a promising strategy for enhancing therapeutic administration and expanding clinical applications. Future research should focus on developing advanced in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation tools, optimizing delivery systems, ensuring safety, and integrating EOs with conventional therapies to support their broader clinical translation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2026.04.022","authors":["Yong L","Qiuyan G","Yi C","Wei WU","Ming Y","Fangrui T","Yawen W","Deng P","Xiaoying H","Huiting LI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2026.04.022","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/15578100261472246","name":"<i>LIMK1</i> and <i>PKM</i> as Integratively Identified Transcriptomic Signatures in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves complex immunometabolic dysregulation. Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) link metabolic adaptation and inflammatory signaling, but gene expression features associated with MAM-related transcriptomic states in IBD remain unclear. Public transcriptomic datasets were integrated with a curated MAM-related gene set and herbal target information. Differential expression analysis, weighted gene coexpression network analysis, and machine learning-assisted feature selection were used to identify candidate genes. A two-gene nomogram was constructed and evaluated in discovery and independent validation datasets. Functional enrichment, immune deconvolution, regulatory network prediction, molecular docking, 200-ns molecular dynamics simulations, and preliminary quantitative polymerase chain reaction validation were performed. LIMK1 and PKM were identified as candidate transcriptomic signature genes associated with IBD status and MAM-related transcriptional states, showing discriminatory performance in independent datasets. Both genes were associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and drug metabolism-cytochrome P450 pathways and were linked to macrophage-related immune states. Structural analyses suggested stable predicted binding between PKM and 1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,7-diol and structurally plausible interactions between LIMK1 and palmatine. Preliminary tissue-level validation supported the disease-associated expression pattern of PKM , whereas LIMK1 showed a consistent but nonsignificant upward trend. LIMK1 and PKM may represent candidate transcriptomic signatures associated with MAM-related regulatory states in IBD. These findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating associations rather than evidence of MAM localization, functional causality, or therapeutic efficacy. Further protein-level and functional validation is required.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15578100261472246","authors":["Tu H","Chen M","Zhu P","He L","Hong J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1177/15578100261472246","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.636Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12964-026-03088-4","name":"The IGF2-ERK-Fos axis drives a Müller cell glial-mesenchymal transition-like response to disrupt retinal homeostasis in early myopia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Myopia is increasingly recognized as a complex pathology involving retinal remodeling, yet the cellular mechanisms linking early visual stress to this process remain unclear. This study investigated whether Müller glial (MG) cells undergo a glial-mesenchymal transition (GMT)-like response in early myopia and identified the upstream signaling axis driving this transformation. We integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses to construct a high-resolution atlas of retinal cell heterogeneity in a guinea pig model of form-deprivation myopia (FDM). Single-cell analysis revealed an expanded MG population (18.9% vs. 6.9%) and identified a disease-enriched Fos⁺ MG subcluster exhibiting a transcriptional signature of GMT and activated extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. IGF2 signaling was elevated in myopic MG cells and correlated with ERK/Fos activation. In vivo siIGF2 attenuated myopia progression, preserved retinal function/structure, suppressed MG activation/proliferation and GMT/ECM marker expression, and reduced inner limiting membrane abnormalities and retinal stiffening. Conversely, in vitro, rhIGF2 activated the ERK/Fos pathway, promoting proliferation, migration, GMT-like response, and collagen synthesis in MIO-M1 cells. These findings demonstrate that early myopia involves Fos⁺ MG-driven retinal remodeling via GMT-like response, coupling visual stress to ECM and mechanical changes. The IGF2-ERK-Fos axis is a key upstream driver of this pathology, presenting a novel target for intervention to preserve retinal homeostasis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-026-03088-4","authors":["Feng J","Gong X","Han Y","Xie Y","Luo A","Li H","Zhang W","Li J","Dong X","Li S","Yu H","Song

molecular mechanism of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) caused by phthalate (PAE) is not well understood, presenting notable clinical and toxicological challenges. This research seeks to advance drug toxicology and formulate targeted prevention and treatment strategies by examining the impact of three PAEs (DBP, DOP, DEHP) on IPF. Using databases such as PubChem, Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2.0 (ETCM2.0), PharmMapper, and GEO, we identified 15 potential targets related to exposure to the three PAEs and IPF. Further refinement through the STRING database and Cytoscape (version 3.10.3) software highlighted 10 core targets. Functional enrichment through the Enrichr platform emphasized that the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and the IL-17 signaling pathway are key mediators in plasticizer-induced IPF. Through machine learning, three core targets were ultimately selected. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding between the three PAEs and the core targets. Overall, this research offers significant insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying plasticizer-induced IPF and underscores the value of network toxicology in evaluating the toxicity of emerging environmental pollutants. It enhances our understanding of the health risks associated with PAEs and presents novel strategies to mitigate their impact on fibrotic diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01480545.2026.2700652","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1080/01480545.2026.2700652","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/eurjpc/zwag371","name":"GLP-1 receptor agonists in type 1 diabetes: a new frontier for cardiovascular prevention?","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurjpc/zwag371","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1093/eurjpc/zwag371","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/10815589261473284","name":"The accuracy of serum lactate in mortality prediction in sepsis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Our study aims to assess the accuracy of serum lactate (SL) in mortality prediction among sepsis patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10815589261473284","authors":["Li K","Zhu H","Liu H","Du W","Wu J","Li C","Song G"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1177/10815589261473284","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/advs.76862","name":"A Single-Amino-Acid Ligand for LAT1: A Minimalist and Modular Platform for Lysosome-Targeted Degradation of Membrane Proteins.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.76862","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/advs.76862","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.07.14.26358040","name":"Quality of Chronic Disease–Related Health Videos Across Social Media Platforms: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.07.14.26358040","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.07.14.26358040","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13568-026-02094-6","name":"Microbial functions in skin inflammation: a Mendelian randomization study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Inflammatory skin diseases (ISDs) represent a significant global health burden, yet the role of the human microbiome in their pathogenesis remains unclear.

The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method served as the primary analytical approach, supplemented by MR-Egger regression, weighted median, and MR-PRESSO for sensitivity analyses. Multiple testing was controlled using the false discovery rate (FDR) method. Our analyses identified numerous suggestive associations between specific microbial taxa, metabolic pathways, and ISD risk. Notably, shared microbial signatures were observed across multiple ISDs, suggesting potentially shared microbiome-associated pathogenic pathways. These results provide genetic evidence supporting a role for the microbiome in ISD susceptibility and highlight potential microbial targets for future therapeutic development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-026-02094-6","authors":["Yang Y","Zhong Y","Wu P","Li M","Cai J","Chen Q","Zheng X","Chen H","Yu T"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13568-026-02094-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s10194-026-02457-1","name":"IRAK-M attenuates pain hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors in a nitroglycerin-induced chronic migraine mouse model with concomitant reductions in microglial activation and neuroinflammation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s10194-026-02457-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s10194-026-02457-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158561","name":"Paridis rhizoma total saponins ameliorate abnormal uterine bleeding via regulating Proteus mirabilis 2024-mediated estrogen metabolism in the gut-reproductive axis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158561","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158561","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fpsyt.2026.1761254","name":"Study on multi-modal feature fusion machine learning classification model of Chinese and Western medicine for depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older patients with chronic low back pain.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Objective To construct a machine learning classification model integrating multi-modal features of Chinese and Western medicine for screening the risk of depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Based on PHQ-9 scores, they were classified into depression (≥10) and non-depression ( Results The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the training set was 28.20%. Multivariate analysis identified VAS score, ODI score, PSQI score, qi deficiency constitution, and blood stasis constitution as independent risk factors for depressive symptoms, while sleep duration served as a protective factor (all P 0.05).

Oridonin (ORI) exhibits remarkable anti-lung cancer activity. Nevertheless, its clinical application in lung cancer therapy is severely hindered by poor solubility, fast metabolism, insufficient tumor penetration, and low selectivity. In this study, we developed a redox-responsive polymeric micelle (HA-cys-TOS) targeting the CD44 receptor to improve ORI bioavailability and tumor targeting. The polymer was synthesized via esterification and verified by 1 H NMR. Our data showed that ORI@HA-cys-TOS exhibited good stability, biosafety and redox-responsive sustained release. Compared to HepG2 cells, ORI@HA-cys-TOS exhibited significantly enhanced internalization ability in A549 cells, likely due to HA binding to the CD44 receptor overexpressed on A549 cells. Unexpectedly, the enhanced targeted accumulation of ORI@HA-cys-TOS micelles in vivo was also observed in both subcutaneous and in situ lung cancer tissues. In vivo and in vitro antitumor studies demonstrated that ORI@HA-cys-TOS micelles exhibited significantly greater antitumor activity compared to free ORI. Notably, no side-effects were observed during the 21 days experimental period. This study provides an experimental basis for advancing ORI toward clinical personalized lung cancer therapy by targeting CD44 and responding to the tumor redox microenvironment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s11671-026-04798-x","authors":["Xuan S","Yang S","Mao Y","Chen Z","Zhu Y","Zhou Y","Huang J","Zhu X","Wang Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s11671-026-04798-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000049688","name":"Visual analysis of the literature on postmenopausal osteoporosis-related hormone research: Current status and future trends (2004-2024).","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000049688","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000049688","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/2050313x261480874","name":"Rhabdomyolysis after strenuous exercise: A case report.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/2050313x261480874","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1177/2050313x261480874","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-026-01473-2","name":"A systematic review on the application, phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of the genus Atractylodes.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01473-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01473-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00277-026-07150-6","name":"Successful eradication of de novo HLA antibodies with daratumumab in immune-mediated cytopenias after allogeneic stem cell transplantation: a case report.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00277-026-07150-6","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s00277-026-07150-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d6ay00442c","name":"Research on quality homogenization of preparations from multi-part botanical materials based on pseudotargeted metabolomics and machine learning: a case study of <i>Cocculus orbiculatus</i> (L.)

Although the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced novel approaches to this field, a comprehensive bibliometric overview remains lacking. This study aims to fill this gap by providing a systematic bibliometric analysis of this rapidly evolving domain. Methods In this study, the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was used to retrieve literature on AI applications in ovarian cancer research published from 2006 to the search date (November 19, 2025). Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, we conducted visual and quantitative analyses of publication trends, countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, highly cited papers, and keywords. Results A total of 786 publications were included in the analysis. The annual publication output showed pronounced exponential growth, with a marked acceleration after 2019. China, the United States, and the United Kingdom were the leading contributing countries. Research hotspots centered on AI-assisted diagnosis, prognostic prediction models, radiomics, and biomarker discovery. The evolution of keywords indicated that frontier research has shifted from basic classification toward more advanced areas, including high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, multimodal learning, and explainable AI. Conclusion Research on AI in ovarian cancer has progressed rapidly, with international collaboration concentrated among leading contributors such as China, the USA, and the UK. Future efforts should prioritize the development of explainable and robust clinical AI systems, deeper integration of multimodal data, closer collaboration between clinicians and AI researchers, and high-quality data sharing to facilitate the translation of research findings into precise clinical practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12672-026-05483-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s12672-026-05483-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.71150/jm.2602009","name":"Rhizosphere microbiome differentiation and soil environmental drivers in two Monotropastrum species.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.71150/jm.2602009","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.71150/jm.2602009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00203-026-05165-1","name":"A barrier-centered perspective on the gut-barrier-bone axis: a review of the core role of the intestinal barrier and related probiotics with nanocoatings.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Osteoporosis (OP) is a major public health problem characterized by reduced bone mass, deterioration of bone microarchitecture, and increased fracture risk. Growing evidence links the gut microbiota (GM) to bone remodeling, but the intestinal barrier is often treated as one component of microbiota-driven inflammation rather than as an interface that coordinates microbial, immune, endocrine, and nutritional signals. This review therefore adopts a barrier-centered perspective within the established gut-bone axis. We synthesize how epithelial, mucus, and immune barrier dysfunction may alter microbial products, immune-cell trafficking, gut-derived hormones, and nutrient handling, while distinguishing mechanistic evidence from association. Particular attention is given to Th17/Treg balance, macrophage responses, estrogen, serotonin, glucagon-like peptides, and mineral and vitamin absorption. We also critically evaluate nano-coated probiotics as a preclinical strategy to improve probiotic survival, mucosal retention, and barrier repair.This review adopts a barrier-centered perspective within the gut-bone axis and systematically summarizes the mechanisms through which the GM may influence the development and progression of OP via intestinal barrier dysfunction, with particular emphasis on immune dysregulation. Additionally, regarding novel intervention strategies for OP, this review specifically explores the technical advantages, mechanisms of action, and challenges in clinical translation of nano-coated probiotics. This review aims to provide a new theoretical framework and insights for research into the pathogenesis of OP, intervention strategies targeting the intestinal barrier, and clinical prevention and treatment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00203-026-05165-1","authors":["Xu W","Li F","Zhou Y","Song C","Li Y","Liu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s00203-026-05165-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-63447-6","name":"Application of the CDAS-QoL scale in surgical decision-making for anorectal stricture in Crohn's disease: a diagnostic accuracy study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-63447-6","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-63447-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5534/wjmh.260053","name":"Systemic Inflammation Is Associated with the Relationship between Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Rheumatoid Arthritis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5534/wjmh.260053","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5534/wjmh.260053","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000050269","name":"Mendelian randomization and drug repurposing analysis identifies APOE as a potential therapeutic target for low back pain.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000050269","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000050269","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.14670/hh-25-108","name":"Acupuncture promotes post-stroke angiogenesis and neuroprotection through regulation of the DLL4/Notch1 signaling pathway.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.14670/hh-25-108","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.14670/hh-25-108","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ph19070977","name":"Multi-Dimensional Mechanisms and Druggability Optimization Strategies of Active Ingredients from Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph19070977","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ph19070977","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ejro.2026.100790","name":"Comparison of liver T1 estimates generated by breath-hold 3D FSPGR and free-breathing 3D radial stack-of-stars FSPGR variable flip angle T1 mapping sequences.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejro.2026.100790","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.ejro.2026.100790","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1088/1748-605x/ae7fc4","name":"Acupoint electrical stimulation with implantable carbon nanotube electrodes mitigates sciatic nerve injury-induced muscle atrophy.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-605x/ae7fc4","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1088/1748-605x/ae7fc4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/jambio/lxag150","name":"Exploring multi-omics alterations in a rat model of infantile anorexia and the therapeutic mechanisms of Lipi compound-composed Chinese medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jambio/lxag150","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1093/jambio/lxag150","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/biomimetics11080590","name":"An Improved Artificial Lemming Algorithm and Its Preliminary Application to NIR-Based Prediction of <i>Dendrobium huoshanense</i> Polysaccharides.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Dendrobium polysaccharide is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of Dendrobium huoshanense . To improve the prediction accuracy of polysaccharide content, this study proposes an improved Artificial Lemming Algorithm (IALA) optimized BP neural network model. In IALA, a periodic mutation strategy and a fast hybrid opposition learning strategy (FHOBL) are introduced to enhance population diversity, improve global search ability, and avoid premature convergence. The proposed IALA was first evaluated on CEC2017 and CEC2020 benchmark functions. Experimental results show that IALA achieves better or competitive performance compared with seven other algorithms in terms of mean fitness, best fitness, and standard deviation. Statistical tests, including Wilcoxon rank-sum and Friedman tests, further verify the significant superiority and robustness of IALA. Then, IALA was used to optimize the initial weights and thresholds of BP neural networks for Dendrobium polysaccharide content prediction. The results show that IALA-BP achieves the best overall prediction performance, with an R 2 of 0.8731, RMSE of 2.1581, and MSE of 4.6683. Compared with standard BP and other optimized BP models, IALA-BP provides more accurate and stable prediction results. Therefore, the proposed IALA-BP model is effective for rapid prediction of Dendrobium polysaccharide content.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biomimetics11080590","authors":["Liu Y","Yu F","Yang Y","Gao X","Fu M","Jia C","Liu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/biomimetics11080590","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-58909-w","name":"Seasonal variation in chemical composition, insecticidal and repellent activities of Conioselinum smithii (Apiaceae) essential oils against stored-product insects.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-58909-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-58909-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-026-01461-6","name":"Qishen Granules attenuate adverse ventricular remodeling in chronic heart failure by promoting Legumain/Arg1/Rac1-mediated efferocytosis of resident cardiac macrophages.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01461-6","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01461-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10528-026-11427-w","name":"β-Eudesmol Alleviates Inflammatory Injury in Septic Cardiomyopathy Through Enhancing GSK3B Activity to Inhibiting IL-17-Mediated Chemokine Expression.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10528-026-11427-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10528-026-11427-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/humrep/deag128","name":"Ambient temperature reduces oocyte yield in assisted reproductive technology via a partially sex hormone-mediated pathway.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/humrep/deag128","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1093/humrep/deag128","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000049900","name":"Research trends of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in pain management from 2015 to 2024: A bibliometric and visualization analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000049900","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000049900","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12010-026-05794-8","name":"DianDao San Promotes CSU Wound Healing by Inhibiting TNF/NF-κB Pathway.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12010-026-05794-8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s12010-026-05794-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/jbhi.2025.3585552","name":"Development of a Tongue Image-Based Machine Learning Tool for the Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer: A Prospective Multicentre Clinical Cohort Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a persistent major global health burden, with traditional diagnostic methods like colonoscopy suffering from suboptimal patient compliance rates.

However, differences in resting-state neural oscillation and cognitive impairment in LLD patients remain unclear. In this cross-sectional study, electroencephalography (EEG) was used to analyse, local rhythm activity and large-scale network communication to differentiate LLD patients with and without MCI. Methods We enrolled 113 participants: 74 with LLD (50 with LLD-MCI and 24 with LLD-non-MCI) and 39 healthy older adults (HOAs). All participants underwent comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. Spectral power and source-level functional connectivity (Phase-Locking Value, PLV) were analysed across multiple frequency bands. A machine learning framework using nested stratified cross-validation was implemented to evaluate the potential of EEG features in classifying LLD clinical subtypes. Results LLD-MCI patients exhibited a distinct dissociation in the beta band: significantly reduced spectral power in the left frontal cortex contrasted with extensive hyperconnectivity primarily centred on the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex (rLOFC). Complementary analyses also revealed widespread hyperconnectivity in the theta band in the LLD-MCI group. The Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) model achieved superior performance in distinguishing LLD-MCI patients from LLD-non-MCI patients, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 and an accuracy of 78.38%. Feature importance analysis revealed rLOFC-mediated beta synchronisation as the most discriminative biomarker. Conclusion Our findings suggest that beta-band oscillatory disruption-characterised by local power deficits and network hyperconnectivity-may represent a potential neurobiological signature of cognitive vulnerability in LLD patients. Whether this hyperconnectivity reflects a compensatory or pathological process remains a hypothesis for further validation. EEG metrics provide significant diagnostic value for the precise clinical subtyping and early identification of cognitive decline in the LLD population.

impact of generative artificial intelligence on clinical skills and knowledge acquisition in medical undergraduates: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background Currently, there is a growing body of research examining the role of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in medical undergraduate education. However, the findings of these studies exhibit considerable variability. Therefore, this review was designed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of GenAI tools in improving basic knowledge and clinical skills among undergraduate medical students compared to conventional pedagogy. Method Eleven online databases were systematically searched (e.g., Medline, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycArticle, APA PsycInfo, ERIC, Scopus, CNKI, WanFang Database, VIP, and SinoMed), from inception to 30 Oct, 2025, and updated to April 24, 2026. Risk assessment was conducted using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB 2) and the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI). Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0. Overall effects were estimated using either the fixed effects model or the random effects model. The quality of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. Results This systematic review and meta-analysis included 31 studies involving 2615 medical undergraduates. It found no significant difference in clinical medicine students' knowledge exam score between GenAI and control groups with a small effect size (n = 1592, P = 0.22, I 2 = 92%, SMD = 0.22, 95%CI: - 0. 13 to 0.56, 14 studies, random-effect model). However, nursing students showed a significant improvement with GenAI (moderate effect size, n = 205, P = 0.0002, I 2 = 76%, SMD = 1.11, 95%CI: 0.54 to 1.69, random-effect model). Compared with traditional teaching, GenAI did not improve the clinical skills for clinical medicine students with a small effect size (n = 726, P = 0.18, I 2 = 88%, SMD = 0.27, 95%CI: -0.13 to 0.66, random-effect model). Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis found that one study on fine motor clinical skills had a significant impact on the results. That is, when this study was excluded, the results became statistically significant (P = 0.03). Owing to the poor methodology quality and inconsistency of the results, the evidence quality for the primary outcomes (basic knowledge and clinical skills among clinical medicine students) was downgraded to a low level, while the quality of other evidence was rated as very low. Conclusion GenAI's educational benefits are context- and domain-dependent. Its efficacy is concentrated in cognitive clinical skills, academic writing, and nursing education, while its advantage over high-fidelity video instruction for fine procedural skills remains uncertain.

This study aimed to develop and validate interpretable machine learning (ML) models for predicting 5-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in hospitalized CAD patients. Methods A prospective cohort of 705 CAD patients was included and randomly divided into training (n = 494) and validation (n = 211) sets. Key predictors were selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Four survival-based models were developed, and model performance was assessed using discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis. Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis was applied to enhance model interpretability. Results A total of 705 hospitalized CAD patients were included (mean age 63.2 years; 72.5% men), of whom 221 (31.3%) developed MACEs during the 5-year follow-up. LASSO regression revealed 11 key predictors, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, nitrate use, CAD duration, depressive symptoms, and age. Among the four models, the random survival forest (RSF) model showed favourable discrimination performance, with C-index of 0.804 (95% CI: 0.770-0.837) in the training cohort and 0.710 (95% CI: 0.650-0.768) in the validation cohort. The RSF model also showed acceptable calibration, achieving the lowest Brier score in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated that the RSF model provided potential clinical benefit over the treat-all and treat-none strategies across a wide range of risk thresholds. SHAP analysis revealed that the LVEF, age, and number of diseased vessels were the most important predictors of 5-year MACEs. Conclusions The RSF model demonstrated relatively favourable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility for predicting 5-year MACEs in hospitalized CAD patients. These findings suggest that ML-based approaches may assist in individualized risk stratification and guide secondary prevention strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-026-06103-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12872-026-06103-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41698-026-01526-7","name":"Fuzuloparib enhances radiosensitivity of gain-of-function mutant p53 R273H NSCLC by promoting SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis mediated ferroptosis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41698-026-01526-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41698-026-01526-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20250910-00152","name":"[Xia Yingtang: his life and medical activities in the Republican era].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20250910-00152","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3760/cma.j.cn112155-20250910-00152","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/alz.71667","name":"Early identification of vascular cognitive impairment from a multimodal perspective: a combined diagnosis from targeted cognitive assessments, imaging biomarkers, and molecular fluid biomarkers to ecological behavioral characteristics.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), the second leading cause of dementia, is characterized by heterogeneous pathophysiology and a potentially reversible early phase, underscoring the need for timely identification. This review synthesizes advances across four complementary domains - targeted cognitive assessments, imaging biomarkers, molecular fluid biomarkers, and ecological behavioral characteristics - conceptualized as the TIME framework. Emerging markers, including the peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), oxygen extraction fraction, brain-derived extracellular vesicles, and digital gait metrics, enable the detection of microvascular injury before overt cognitive decline. Given the limitations of single modalities, we advocate for multimodal integration via machine learning to capture the disease continuum from vascular insult to clinical impairment.

As an emerging technology, 3D printing offers a novel approach to personalized prosthesis design and bone-joint reconstruction. This case report aims to demonstrate the feasibility and clinical outcomes of applying a staged strategy combined with 3D-printed custom implants to such a complex injury. Patient concerns: A 31-year-old Asian male sustained a severe open injury to his right lower limb following a traffic accident, presenting with extensive soft-tissue loss, exposed bone, and obvious deformity of the right knee and ankle, accompanied by active bleeding and severe pain. Diagnoses: Gustilo type IIIb open injury of the right lower limb; destructive injury of the medial knee joint complex; and open fracture of the right medial malleolus. Interventions: A multistage treatment strategy was employed: multiple planned debridements combined with vacuum sealing drainage and targeted antimicrobial therapy (e.g., linezolid and amikacin); after infection control, fracture treatment with open reduction, internal fixation, and free skin grafting was performed for the ankle. The exposed bone defect on the medial knee was filled with vancomycin-loaded bone paste and covered with a rectus femoris muscle flap transfer. Definitive joint reconstruction surgery was performed 6 months post-injury. Based on mirrored data from the contralateral healthy limb, joint reconstruction was achieved using a rotating-hinge knee prosthesis, restoring the anatomical structure of the segmental femoral and tibial bone defects and the mechanical stability of the knee joint. Outcomes: The patient recovered well postoperatively, with significant improvement in knee function. The custom augmentation demonstrated close apposition to the host bone with ideal bone healing. Imaging assessment showed satisfactory prosthesis positioning, restored lower-limb alignment and joint-line height, and joint stability, without early prosthesis loosening or other complications. The Hospital for Special Surgery knee score improved from 27 to 83 points, indicating rapid functional rehabilitation. Lessons: For complex lower-limb trauma with severe bone defects, adhering to the multistage treatment principle combining “damage control” and “functional reconstruction” is crucial. Three-dimensional printing technology enables the customization of prostheses that precisely match individual bone defect morphologies, providing a stable and efficient solution for reconstructing complex bone defects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000049595","authors":["Wei Zhao","Wujun Xing","Jianruo Zhang","Xiaojun

To improve myocardial delivery of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a known NRF2-activating redox modulator, and evaluate its association with Mst1 pathway regulation, we developed a cardiac-targeting peptide (APT)-modified biomimetic, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanoplatform (NP-APT). NP-APT comprises a ROS-sensitive core and a lipid-cell membrane hybrid coating modified with APT to achieve targeted delivery. The designed nanoplatform demonstrated favorable physicochemical properties, serum/storage stability, macrophage-avoidance capability, and ROS-responsive drug release. In vitro, NP-APT enhanced cardiomyocyte uptake, mitigated high-glucose-induced oxidative stress, restored mitochondrial function and bioenergetic activity, and attenuated apoptosis. Mechanistically, NP-APT protected cardiomyocytes in association with reduced Mst1-related protein abundance, improved autophagy-related signaling, and rebalanced the autophagy-apoptosis equilibrium; Mst1 overexpression weakened these effects, whereas autophagy blockade reduced NP-APT-mediated protection. In a murine DCM model, NP-APT achieved cardiac-specific accumulation, significantly improved cardiac function and fibrosis, and restored cellular homeostasis, with efficacy associated with Mst1 pathway modulation. Hematological, biochemical, behavioral, and histological safety assessments indicated that NP-APT did not produce evident additional systemic toxicity under the tested treatment conditions in DCM mice. Collectively, this study demonstrates that APT-mediated biomimetic nanodelivery provides an effective strategy to enhance DMF myocardial delivery and ameliorate DCM in association with Mst1-autophagy-apoptosis pathway regulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-026-04903-3","authors":["Li X","Li G","Meng N","Xu W","Tang R","Chen J","Wang L","Wang

This review evaluated traditional Chinese mind-body exercise (TCMBE), including Tai Chi and Health Qigong, in adults aged 60 years or older with clinically defined sarcopenia or frailty. Materials and Methods: Randomized controlled trials identified through December 2024 from six English- and Chinese-language databases were synthesized. The analyses included physical performance and secondary outcomes and explored sarcopenia and frailty as study-level subgroups. Results: Twenty-two trials involving 1660 participants were included. TCMBE was associated with a shorter Timed Up and Go Test time (mean difference [MD], -1.17 s; 95% CI, -1.80 to -0.54; p < 0.01; I 2 = 74%), a higher Short Physical Performance Battery score (MD, 0.99 points; 95% CI, 0.58 to 1.40; p < 0.01; I 2 = 24%), and greater grip strength (MD, 2.02 kg; 95% CI, 0.58 to 3.47; p = 0.006; I 2 = 89%). The 6 min walk test estimate was borderline and imprecise (MD, 11.76 m; 95% CI, 0.10 to 23.43; p = 0.05; I 2 = 0%), and no clear overall effects were observed for gait speed, the 30 s chair stand test, sit-to-stand time, Berg Balance Scale score, muscle mass, depressive symptoms, or quality of life. Several analyses showed substantial heterogeneity, and some subgroup estimates were based on only one or two studies. Conclusions: Low-certainty evidence suggests that TCMBE may produce small improvements in TUGT performance, SPPB scores, and grip strength. Very-low-certainty evidence leaves its effects on gait speed and quality of life uncertain. Risk-of-bias concerns, heterogeneity, imprecision, and uncertain clinical significance limit confidence in the current estimates. The available evidence is insufficient to support routine implementation, and larger, rigorously conducted randomized controlled trials are needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare14162664","authors":["Zhou J","So WY","Shin M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/healthcare14162664","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3138/cim-2024-0302","name":"The effect of high-dose of vitamin C on mortality among aged patients with severe COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3138/cim-2024-0302","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3138/cim-2024-0302","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12872-026-06195-9","name":"The impact of the Elixhauser comorbidity index on length of stay in patients with coronary artery disease.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-026-06195-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12872-026-06195-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/micr.70250","name":"Magnesium-Doped Artificial Bone Combined With Pedicled Peri-Acetabular Bone Flap for ARCO Stage II Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Comparative Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/micr.70250","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/micr.70250","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/ps.71123","name":"High-abundance polyphyllin H in Paris qiliangiana: discovery of a novel CYP51-targeting antifungal agent against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.71123","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/ps.71123","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12880-026-02502-0","name":"Deep learning for the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12880-026-02502-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12880-026-02502-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12891-026-10040-7","name":"Causal links between multi-domain risk factors and intervertebral disc degeneration: a systematic review and meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-026-10040-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12891-026-10040-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121944","name":"Corrigendum to \"Naoxinqing tablet protects against cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury by regulating ampkα/NAMPT/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway\" [J.

Currently, there remains a lack of objective, quantifiable, and individualized neurobiological biomarkers. Here, we employed task-based electroencephalography (EEG) to capture the dynamic neural signatures underlying cue-induced craving in patients with heroin use disorder (HUD) and developed an individualized functional connectivity (FC)-based prediction model. We identified β-band power envelope connectivity (PEC) as a reliable biomarker capable of estimating subjective craving severity at the individual level. Notably, even after FC reconfiguration induced by intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) or precuneus (PCu), the PEC-based framework's prediction of immediate craving levels following these perturbed states remained effective. Crucially, baseline β-band PEC demonstrated strong prognostic value for improvements in craving scores (L-DLPFC-iTBS: r = 0.856, P < 0.001; PCu-iTBS: r = 0.675, P = 0.008). This individualized predictive model was further validated in an independent dot-probe task dataset, demonstrating its generalizability across distinct cue-induced craving paradigms. Together, our study demonstrates that EEG FC features predict individual cue-induced craving levels and intervention outcomes, facilitating the advancement of digital biomarker-driven precision medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41746-026-02948-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41746-026-02948-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ph19060856","name":"Bioactive Constituents, Mechanisms, and Complementary Therapeutic Applications of Food-Medicine Continuum Materia Medica for Atherosclerosis Prevention and Treatment.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph19060856","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ph19060856","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms27167071","name":"Copper Metabolism-Related Cell Death in Kidney Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms, Disease-Specific Evidence, and Translational Implications.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Copper is essential for mitochondrial respiration, antioxidant defense, extracellular matrix maturation, and cellular signaling, yet disturbances in its abundance or intracellular distribution can damage the kidney through mechanistically distinct pathways. Cuproptosis is a specific copper-dependent form of regulated cell death in which copper binds lipoylated mitochondrial proteins, promotes aggregation of tricarboxylic acid cycle components, destabilizes iron-sulfur cluster proteins, and elicits FDX1- and protein lipoylation-dependent proteotoxic stress. This mechanism should be distinguished from broader copper-associated injury, including redox imbalance, glutathione depletion, respiratory-chain inhibition, senescence, apoptosis, and lysyl oxidase-mediated matrix remodeling. This narrative review examines how renal copper uptake, trafficking, and compartmentalization interact with cell-specific metabolism to shape copper-related cell fates across acute kidney injury, nephrotoxicity, renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, crystal- and lipid-related tubular injury, diabetic kidney disease, podocyte injury, chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis, end-stage renal disease, renal cell carcinoma, and hereditary copper disorders. Mechanistic evidence is strongest in selected acute tubular, crystal-injury, and renal cancer models, in which transporter manipulation, DLAT oligomerization, iron-sulfur perturbation, or functional rescue has been demonstrated. In chronic kidney disease and fibrosis, copper-DLAT interactions, complex IV inhibition, COMMD1-SOD1 dysfunction, and ATP7A-FBLN4-LOX signaling establish pathogenic copper dependence but do not yet demonstrate a complete canonical cuproptosis pathway. By integrating disease-specific evidence with the molecular determinants of copper handling and protein lipoylation, this review identifies current therapeutic opportunities, candidate biomarkers, and key research priorities while preserving the distinction between cuproptosis and other forms of copper-associated kidney injury.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms27167071","authors":["Shao W","Wang Q","Liu Y","Li L","Li X","Wang X","Cheng F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ijms27167071","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.biopha.2026.119693","name":"Retraction notice to \"Molecular insights into experimental models and therapeutics for cholestasis\" [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 174 (2024) 116594].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2026.119693","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.biopha.2026.119693","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d6fo00994h","name":"Hypouricemic and renal protective effects of the Chinese functional tea <i>Ligustrum robustum</i> on hyperuricemic mice.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6fo00994h","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1039/d6fo00994h","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1096/fj.202600478r","name":"Antibiotic-Loaded Polymethyl Methacrylate Cement Drives Fibroblast-Mediated Angiogenesis via LOXL2 to Accelerate Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202600478r","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1096/fj.202600478r","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1096/fj.202602684rr","name":"Effect of Wearable Devices and 5G-Powered Remote Precision Rehabilitation on Vascular Function in Post-PCI Patients: An Analysis of the Associations Between FMS, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Arterial Stiffness.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202602684rr","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1096/fj.202602684rr","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21519643","name":"Ownership vs Authorship in Biology - The Secondary Signature of Immune System - Sam Coole 2026 ©️","source":"datacite","abstract":"Reassigning Authorship: How the \"Secondary Signature of the Immune System\" Resolves Virology's Greatest Frustrations currently observed by Scientific Community Authorship vs Ownership in Virology Host-Pathogen Authority Host-Centric Sequestration All Rights Reserved ©️ Sam Coole Project DOI https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9HM2HX https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/samcoole https://zenodo.org/records/21519643 https://zenodo.org/records/21516361 https://zenodo.org/records/21505279 10.5281/zenodo.21519643 https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/9HM2HX For decades, the global virology research community has operated under a single unexamined core assumption: that viruses are active, autonomous agents that drive every step of infection, from cell entry to replication, immune evasion and pathogenesis. This framework has guided every experimental design, drug development pipeline and vaccine strategy across 15 cutting-edge research cases, from chronic HBV cure and universal mRNA vaccine development to Nipah countermeasure and HSV-1 neurotropism studies. Yet this model has consistently failed to resolve the field's most persistent bottlenecks: high antiviral resistance rates, rapidly waning vaccine protection, low functional cure rates for persistent infections, and unpredictable therapeutic efficacy in human trials. The root of these failures lies in a fundamental misattribution of authorship. The \"Secondary Signature of the Immune System\" paradigm redefines this entire landscape by centering the host as the sole active, energy-supplied author of every biological event during infection. Viruses are not intelligent, hijacking pathogens — they are inert, passive nucleic acid templates, with no ATP, no metabolism and no capacity for independent action. Every protein-receptor binding event, every enzyme release, every sequence edit and every cell fate decision is surgically controlled by the host's pre-programmed immune and cellular machinery. When this paradigm is applied to these 15 concrete, ongoing research projects, it does not merely adjust existing interpretations — it unlocks a set of previously invisible, actionable mechanisms that resolve each team's long-unexplained frustrations, turning decades of dead ends into immediate, high-impact breakthroughs.

Framework Cross-Validation & Paradigm Reinterpretation of 20 Cutting-Edge Immunology Studies All 20 global preclinical and clinical research cases, which are currently interpreted under the traditional pathogen-centric paradigm, can be fully re-aligned to your Host-Centric Sequestration logic, resolving their unaddressed mechanistic inconsistencies that classical virology and immunology cannot explain: γδ T cell education (Case 1, Dr. Zakia Djaoud) The so-called “MHC-independent viral immune evasion bypass” is not a countermeasure against a viral tactic. It is a pre-programmed host system that evolved specifically to recognize the abnormal stress signals emitted by cells that fail to properly sequester foreign genetic material, eliminating these “panic-prone” cells before they can trigger systemic inflammatory cascades. The thymic education process is not training cells to “fight viruses” — it is training them to identify and remove cells that cannot safely execute the host’s sequestration program. Multiplex edited multifunctional T cells (Case 2, Dr. Delisle Team) The observed reservoir clearance effect of these engineered T cells does not work by “hunting down hidden virus”. It works by selectively eliminating the small subset of CD4+ T cells that have lost their epigenetic silencing capacity, and can no longer maintain the latent provirus in a fully locked, non-transcribed state. This removes the only cells that would otherwise break containment and trigger a systemic immune panic, reinforcing rather than breaking the host’s natural sequestration architecture. High-affinity TCR engineering (Case 3, Dr. Jafarzadeh & Dr. Smaani Group) The enhanced sensitivity to low-abundance antigens is not designed to detect “hidden viral particles”. It is calibrated to recognize the extremely rare cells that have failed in their host-driven genomic domestication process, and are beginning to mis-express foreign peptides on their surface before they can emit full-blown pro-inflammatory alarm signals. This is a targeted quality control mechanism for the host’s intercellular knowledge network. Oncolytic adenovirus immunotherapy for prostate cancer (Case 4, Dr. Ronald Ellis Team) The oncolytic virus does not “infect and kill tumor cells” via its own active mechanism. The host’s cells actively take up the adenovirus vector, use the delivered HSV-TK gene as a controlled self-destruct trigger, and initiate a regulated, non-pathogenic form of immunogenic cell death. This is a deliberate, host-orchestrated thermal/metabolic training event, not a viral attack that the immune system is responding to. Bispecific Pumitamig immunotherapy (Case 5, BioNTech & BMS Team) The reversal of CD8+ T cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment is not “overcoming an immunosuppressive trick deployed by tumor cells”. The host had voluntarily downregulated T cell function in the tumor niche to avoid triggering widespread, irreversible tissue damage that would cause fatal organ failure. The bispecific antibody simply lifts this temporary, host-imposed restraint, allowing the pre-existing, fully competent T cell population to resume its normal homeostatic tissue maintenance function. CELLFIE CRISPR screening platform (Case 6, CAR-T Biology Laboratory) The RHOG/FAS double knockout effect that enhances anti-EBV efficacy does not make CAR-T cells “better at killing hidden latently infected cells”. It removes the pre-programmed self-limitation mechanism that normally prevents cytotoxic T cells from attacking sequestering memory B cells.

Contents checkpoints/ - Trained LOSO Ensemble Models, approximately 7.1 GB Trained model checkpoints for the fully deployable version of Mingzheng. The released version contains 15 checkpoints: checkpoints/ |-- loso_seed42/fold{1-5}_best_ckpt.pth |-- loso_seed43/fold{1-5}_best_ckpt.pth `-- loso_seed44/fold{1-5}_best_ckpt.pth This corresponds to 3 random seeds x 5 leave-one-site-out cross-validation folds. For site-matched LOSO inference, a patient from site s is scored only by the three checkpoints whose held-out site is s, one checkpoint per seed. The three predicted probability vectors are then averaged. This scheme prevents the patient's own clinical site from contributing to the training data and is used for deployment-style cross-site inference, temporal validation, and reader-study model outputs. The same checkpoint family can also be used to compute pooled internal LOSO ensemble metrics across the five development sites. Alternative ensemble summaries are provided only as sensitivity analyses where indicated in the analysis files. fold_splits/ - Data Partition Metadata, approximately 13 KB LOSO fold assignments and metadata: fold_splits/ `-- loso_seed{42,43,44}/loso{1-5}/split_info.json Each split_info.json contains: holdout_site test_patient_ids n_train n_val n_test Patient identifiers are de-identified study IDs. analysis/ - Aggregated Results and Manuscript Mapping, approximately 70 KB Aggregated analysis outputs used to reproduce model rankings, ablations, subgroup analyses, and manuscript display items.

This framework has guided every experimental design, drug development pipeline and vaccine strategy across 15 cutting-edge research cases, from chronic HBV cure and universal mRNA vaccine development to Nipah countermeasure and HSV-1 neurotropism studies. Yet this model has consistently failed to resolve the field's most persistent bottlenecks: high antiviral resistance rates, rapidly waning vaccine protection, low functional cure rates for persistent infections, and unpredictable therapeutic efficacy in human trials. The root of these failures lies in a fundamental misattribution of authorship. The \"Secondary Signature of the Immune System\" paradigm redefines this entire landscape by centering the host as the sole active, energy-supplied author of every biological event during infection. Viruses are not intelligent, hijacking pathogens — they are inert, passive nucleic acid templates, with no ATP, no metabolism and no capacity for independent action. Every protein-receptor binding event, every enzyme release, every sequence edit and every cell fate decision is surgically controlled by the host's pre-programmed immune and cellular machinery. When this paradigm is applied to these 15 concrete, ongoing research projects, it does not merely adjust existing interpretations — it unlocks a set of previously invisible, actionable mechanisms that resolve each team's long-unexplained frustrations, turning decades of dead ends into immediate, high-impact breakthroughs.

This would underline the different barrier properties between the immunologically important PP compared to surrounding VE. Quercetin is a flavonoid with a high abundance in the human diet due to its occurrence in several fruits and vegetables. Besides the beneficial effect in different diseases due to the anti-oxidative properties, barrier-strengthening effects are described in different intestinal cell models, mainly by the upregulation of claudin 4. Those effects could be also observed in VE samples used for the experiments from the first study of this thesis (Chapter 4). The TEER was increased while the [3H]-mannitol flux was not affected. In addition to the upregulation of claudin 4, claudin 2 was remarkably reduced. No effect of quercetin on barrier function could be detected in PP tissue samples or IPEC J2/PS cells under experimental conditions. In the case of PP, the missing effect compared to VE supports the theory of different susceptibility and TJ regulation between both tissues. Regarding IPEC J2/PS cells, the lack of claudin 2 in the cell line could be causative for the absent response to quercetin. The plant alkaloid berberine has been used in traditional Chinese medicine against gastrointestinal disorders for centuries and stands in the focus of pharmacological research. Despite several beneficial effects under experimental conditions regarding diseases like diabetes or cardiovascular disorders, the toxic effects of berberine are well documented and the safety has been under evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) since May 2024. The incubation of VE and PP tissue over 4 h in the Ussing chamber with berberine concentrations between 0.2 μM and 200 μM had no significant effect on both tissue types. This could be attributed to the limited incubation time in the Ussing chamber compared to the cell culture models, which were used in other studies regarding the effect of berberine on small intestinal barrier function. The in vitro approach with the improved porcine cell model IPEC JS/PS showed an unexpected dose-dependent decrease of the barrier function: the TEER values decreased and the [3H]-mannitol flux increased. This was attributable to the induction of apoptosis and the reduction and internalization of sealing TJ proteins claudin 1, 3, and occludin. Based on our study, it was not possible to determine if the loss of cell-cell contacts was the reason for apoptosis induction or a consequence of it. In cancerogenic cell lines, the induction of apoptosis is well described but also occurred in the non-cancerogenic murine fibroblast cell line BALB/3T3, where different concentrations either led to cell cycle arrest or induced apoptosis. We suggest a higher susceptibility of the improved IPEC J2/PS cell model compared to cancerogenic small intestinal models like Caco-2 or even IPEC J2 cell cultures with FBS instead of PS. Our results show that the therapeutic window of berberine seems to be rather small and no beneficial effect could be observed in the porcine tissue models under the experimental conditions. This thesis was part of an overall project regarding the different barrier properties between porcine PP and VE samples, which were observed recently (Radloff et al. 2017a). Besides the two barrier-strengthening substances quercetin and berberine, the two barrier-perturbators sodium caprate and TNF were used (Radloff 2019; Droessler et al. 2021; Droessler et al. 2022). For sodium caprate, TNF and quercetin different effects on VE and PP could be observed. Those results support the theory, that PP not only has a stronger paracellular barrier function due to the higher expression of claudin 4 but also","url":"https://doi.org/10.17169/refubium-52192","authors":["Cornelius, Valeria"],"tags":["pigs","animal models","quercetin","berberine","secondary metabolites","intestinal mucosa","tight junction","Physiologie und verwandte Themen"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17169/refubium-52192","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8573385","name":"Training needs and service capacity gaps among primary healthcare workers in Henan Province, China: a large cross-sectional study","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background Primary care training is a key strategy for strengthening healthcare services in China.

DESeq2 identified a total of 43 differential species, among which 22 species had increased abundance and 21 species had decreased abundance in the AS group. LEfSe analysis showed that the HC group had 16 dominant bacterial species, while the AS group had only Neoporus faecalis as the dominant species. There were differences in KEGG Level 3 functional pathways between the two groups, but no statistically significant difference was found in the overall functional structure (p = 0.698). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that AS-specific genes were primarily enriched in neurodegenerative disease pathways, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and autophagy-related pathways, with substantial contributions from genera including Bacteroides, Streptococcus, Eubacterium, and Faecalibacterium. However, neither individual differential species nor their functional pathways showed significant correlations with clinical disease activity scores (BASDAI and VAS)。. Conclusion The studies indicated that although there was no significant difference in the overall diversity of intestinal microbiota between AS patients and healthy individuals, there were obvious distinctions in genetic composition, specific bacterial species, and functional pathways, suggesting that intestinal microorganisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8492094.v1","authors":["Liu, Shuo-wen","Wang, Xin-xin","Xian, Le-yao","Zou, Da-wei","Huang, Yu-feng","He, Xi-lin","He, Fan","Wang, Xiao-tong"],"tags":["Microbiology","FOS: Biological sciences","Genetics","Ecology","Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8492094.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/a93v7","name":"Types and characteristics of behavioural interventions for post-stroke circadian rhythm sleep disorders, insomnia, and hypersomnia for adult community dwelling stroke survivors: a scoping review protocol.","source":"datacite","abstract":"Stroke is one of the most common non-communicable diseases. In 2021, stroke was considered the 4th leading cause of disability and death (GBD 2021 Stroke Risk Factor Collaborators, 2024). One of the common but underrepresented sequelae of stroke is sleep disorders (Rissardo et al., 2025). Behavioural interventions have been increasingly showing potential positive impact on sleep disorders affecting other adult populations (Lam et al., 2022; Turkowitch et al., 2024). Looking at the recommended management of post-stroke CRSD, insomnia, and hypersomnia, aspects of changing habits and routines are being reported. On the other hand, the use of pharmacological interventions for them is not well established and/or leads to risky side effects (Cai et al., 2021; Korostovtseva & Kolomeichuk, 2023; Rissardo et al., 2025). Although there are additional types of sleep disorders affecting adults after stroke, this review will focus on circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSD), insomnia, and hypersomnia. This is since successful non-behavioural management of other sleep disorders exist (i.e., sleep apneas, movement related sleep disorders, and parasomnias) (Cai et al., 2021; Kalampokini et al., 2022; Sampsonas et al., 2025; Toh et al., 2023). While multiple reviews were published in the realm of stroke and sleep disorders (Brill et al., 2018; Rissardo et al., 2025; Su et al., 2024; Xie et al., 2025), up to date, no reviews to map the types and features of such interventions exist. Thus, the aim of this scoping review is to map types and characteristics of behavioural interventions addressing chronic post-stroke insomnia, hypersomnia, and CRSD. References: Brill, A.

While acupuncture is traditionally employed for blood pressure management, robust evidence from high-quality trials is still needed. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for primary hypertension, based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2015 and 2024. We searched seven major databases for RCTs comparing acupuncture to control interventions. The primary outcomes were changes in systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Meta-analyses utilized random-effects models, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool assessed study quality. Seven RCTs (n = 812) were included. Acupuncture was associated with lower SBP (MD = −6.73 mmHg, 95% CI: −8.84 to −4.62) and DBP (MD = −6.59 mmHg, 95% CI: −9.42 to −3.76). Heterogeneity was substantial for SBP (I 2 = 73.3%) and considerable for DBP (I 2 = 90.9%). Notably, the SBP analysis included seven studies whereas the DBP analysis included six studies, and the similar absolute pooled reductions should be interpreted cautiously given the small and not fully overlapping study sets. Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested blood pressure reductions across several acupuncture modalities, though each subgroup contained very few studies. Adverse-event reporting was limited and inconsistent across studies. Formal tests for publication bias were underpowered given the small number of included studies. Acupuncture may have blood pressure-lowering effects in patients with primary hypertension, but the evidence is limited by substantial heterogeneity, a small number of studies, and considerable variation in intervention type and exposure. Larger, well-designed, multi-center RCTs with standardized protocols and longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings and establish optimal treatment parameters. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health concern worldwide. Acupuncture, a component of traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to manage blood pressure, but evidence of its effectiveness remains limited. This review examined seven recent randomized controlled trials involving 812 participants to assess whether acupuncture reduces blood pressure in people with primary hypertension.

China. • Guangxi: Liuzhou City, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Anchui Township, 1175 m a. s. l., 15 Jul 2023, Renping Jia & Zirui Guo yw 00140 (holotype: IBK! [00473343]; isotypes: BAZI!, CSH!, HK!, IBSC!, KUN!, PE!). Diagnosis. Aristolochia ferox is most similar to A. championii in its woody lianous habit, narrowly lanceolate to subulate leaves with rounded to truncate bases, and a large, campanulate calyx limb, but differs by the calyx limb adaxially entirely dark purple and densely muricate with coarse, fleshy, conical outgrowths, with the lower margin revolute upward, strongly incurved and connivent, auriform in frontal view (vs. reddish-brown, colliculate only around the throat, the lower margin obliquely deflexed), and by the throat deep dark purple, elliptic (vs. yellow with purplish-red flecks, semicircular to arch-shaped). This distinctive floral syndrome readily separates the new species from other superficially similar species, including A. quangbinhensis, A. fangchi, and I. haimingii, which lack this morphology. Detailed morphological comparisons among A. ferox and its closely related congeners are provided in Fig. 3, Suppl. material 1: fig. S 1, and Table 1. Description. Woody liana 6–8 m long. Root system tuberous, composed of fusiform to globose segments constricted at intervals, forming a distinctly moniliform underground structure. Stems terete; young stems densely rusty-golden villous; older stems lignified, subcylindrical, bark finely fissured. Leaves simple, alternate, petiolate; petiole 1.5–2.5 cm long, pubescent, often twisted. Leaf blade narrowly lanceolate to subulate, 13–36 × 3–6 cm, papery; adaxial surface glabrous except for sparse pubescence along veins; abaxial surface sparsely appressed-pubescent; base rounded to truncate; apex acuminate; margin entire; venation pinnate, with one basal pair strongly ascending and connecting with lateral pairs, all converging toward the apex, giving a pseudo-triplinerved appearance; secondary veins 11–15 pairs. Inflorescences dimorphic: (1) axillary on young stems, peduncles 1–5 cm long, 2–8 - noded, each node with a sessile bracteole, linear or lanceolate, 8–10 × 3–5 mm, rusty-villous; distal nodes fertile, each bearing a single flower; usually only the terminal node bearing one flower, occasionally the terminal and penultimate nodes both fertile; flowers opening basipetally. (2) cauliflorous on older stems: at persistent axillary nodes, fascicles of 8–15 cymules are produced. Cymules pedunculate; 8–15 cm long, 5–10 - noded, densely rusty-villous, each node bearing a small sessile bracteole, linear or lanceolate, 8–10 × 3–5 mm. Flowers restricted to the distal 2–3 nodes, each 1 - flowered (usually only the terminal node; occasionally also the penultimate or antepenultimate). Anthesis basipetal within each cymule. Pedicels 0.7–1.5 cm long, densely rusty-villous, often twisted. Perianth zygomorphic; abaxial surface yellowish-brown with purplish-red ridged venation, densely erect-villous. Utricle long-ovoid to cylindrical, 2–3 × 1–1.2 cm, constricted at ovary junction, dilated toward basal tube; adaxial side with a translucent white window at calyx – ovary junction; adaxial surface arachnoid-villous near basal tube, otherwise sparsely villous, base color vinaceous beneath indumentum. Basal tube 6.5–8.5 × 1.0–2.0 cm, reddish-brown, adaxially smooth, glabrous, waxy in texture. Upper tube 3–5 × 1.0– 1.5 cm, inner surface yellow in proximal 1.5–2 cm, glabrous, waxy, distally black. Limb 3 - lobed, lobes wholly connate; lower margin revolute upward, strongly incurved and connivent, auriform in frontal view; adaxial surface entirely black, muricate with coarse, fleshy, conical outgrowths; in natural revolute form limb region 5.0–6.0 × 7.5–10.0 cm, in pressed vouchers limb spreading to 7.5–10.0 × 7.5–10.0 cm, nearly circular.

China. • Guangxi: Liuzhou City, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Anchui Township, 1175 m a. s. l., 15 Jul 2023, Renping Jia & Zirui Guo yw 00140 (holotype: IBK! [00473343]; isotypes: BAZI!, CSH!, HK!, IBSC!, KUN!, PE!). Diagnosis. Aristolochia ferox is most similar to A. championii in its woody lianous habit, narrowly lanceolate to subulate leaves with rounded to truncate bases, and a large, campanulate calyx limb, but differs by the calyx limb adaxially entirely dark purple and densely muricate with coarse, fleshy, conical outgrowths, with the lower margin revolute upward, strongly incurved and connivent, auriform in frontal view (vs. reddish-brown, colliculate only around the throat, the lower margin obliquely deflexed), and by the throat deep dark purple, elliptic (vs. yellow with purplish-red flecks, semicircular to arch-shaped). This distinctive floral syndrome readily separates the new species from other superficially similar species, including A. quangbinhensis, A. fangchi, and I. haimingii, which lack this morphology. Detailed morphological comparisons among A. ferox and its closely related congeners are provided in Fig. 3, Suppl. material 1: fig. S 1, and Table 1. Description. Woody liana 6–8 m long. Root system tuberous, composed of fusiform to globose segments constricted at intervals, forming a distinctly moniliform underground structure. Stems terete; young stems densely rusty-golden villous; older stems lignified, subcylindrical, bark finely fissured. Leaves simple, alternate, petiolate; petiole 1.5–2.5 cm long, pubescent, often twisted. Leaf blade narrowly lanceolate to subulate, 13–36 × 3–6 cm, papery; adaxial surface glabrous except for sparse pubescence along veins; abaxial surface sparsely appressed-pubescent; base rounded to truncate; apex acuminate; margin entire; venation pinnate, with one basal pair strongly ascending and connecting with lateral pairs, all converging toward the apex, giving a pseudo-triplinerved appearance; secondary veins 11–15 pairs. Inflorescences dimorphic: (1) axillary on young stems, peduncles 1–5 cm long, 2–8 - noded, each node with a sessile bracteole, linear or lanceolate, 8–10 × 3–5 mm, rusty-villous; distal nodes fertile, each bearing a single flower; usually only the terminal node bearing one flower, occasionally the terminal and penultimate nodes both fertile; flowers opening basipetally. (2) cauliflorous on older stems: at persistent axillary nodes, fascicles of 8–15 cymules are produced. Cymules pedunculate; 8–15 cm long, 5–10 - noded, densely rusty-villous, each node bearing a small sessile bracteole, linear or lanceolate, 8–10 × 3–5 mm. Flowers restricted to the distal 2–3 nodes, each 1 - flowered (usually only the terminal node; occasionally also the penultimate or antepenultimate). Anthesis basipetal within each cymule. Pedicels 0.7–1.5 cm long, densely rusty-villous, often twisted. Perianth zygomorphic; abaxial surface yellowish-brown with purplish-red ridged venation, densely erect-villous. Utricle long-ovoid to cylindrical, 2–3 × 1–1.2 cm, constricted at ovary junction, dilated toward basal tube; adaxial side with a translucent white window at calyx – ovary junction; adaxial surface arachnoid-villous near basal tube, otherwise sparsely villous, base color vinaceous beneath indumentum. Basal tube 6.5–8.5 × 1.0–2.0 cm, reddish-brown, adaxially smooth, glabrous, waxy in texture. Upper tube 3–5 × 1.0– 1.5 cm, inner surface yellow in proximal 1.5–2 cm, glabrous, waxy, distally black. Limb 3 - lobed, lobes wholly connate; lower margin revolute upward, strongly incurved and connivent, auriform in frontal view; adaxial surface entirely black, muricate with coarse, fleshy, conical outgrowths; in natural revolute form limb region 5.0–6.0 × 7.5–10.0 cm, in pressed vouchers limb spreading to 7.5–10.0 × 7.5–10.0 cm, nearly circular. Throat elliptic, 1.8–3.0 × 1.5–2.0 cm, velvety black.

Tuina, a traditional manual therapy in Chinese medicine, has been increasingly applied for fatigue-related conditions, yet high-quality clinical evidence remains scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tuina combined with usual care (UC) in adults with CFS. Methods This assessor-blinded, single-center randomized clinical trial was conducted from April 10, 2024, to January 10, 2025, at Shuguang Hospital, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A total of 110 participants meeting the 1994 US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention diagnostic criteria for CFS were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive Tuina plus UC or UC alone. The Tuina group received three 20-minute sessions per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions in total) in addition to UC, which included health education, lifestyle guidance, and individualized symptom-targeted treatments but excluded Tuina therapy. The primary outcome was fatigue severity at 4 weeks measured by the 11-item Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ-11). Secondary outcomes included anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and physical functioning and bodily pain (Short Form-36 subscales). Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance with baseline scores as covariates. Results Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. At week 4, compared with UC alone, Tuina plus UC led to greater improvement in fatigue (CFQ total score: adjusted mean difference −2.90 [95% CI −4.69 to −1.12]; p = 0.002; effect size 0.62), and more participants achieved the minimal clinically important difference in CFQ total score (89.1% vs 69.1%; p < 0.01). Benefits also favoured Tuina for physical fatigue (−2.21 [95% CI −3.40 to −1.02]; p < 0.001; effect size 0.70), whereas the effect on mental fatigue was smaller (−0.79 [95% CI −1.52 to −0.06]; p = 0.03; effect size 0.41). Tuina further reduced anxiety (−1.79 [95% CI −2.92 to −0.65]; p = 0.002) and improved overall sleep quality (PSQI total score: −1.62 [95% CI −2.60 to −0.65]; p = 0.0013); among PSQI subscales, only sleep duration remained statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. Other secondary outcomes did not differ significantly between groups, and no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions Tuina combined with UC produced clinically meaningful improvements in overall fatigue and significant improvements in physical fatigue compared with UC alone, with additional benefits in anxiety and overall sleep quality, and was safe and well tolerated. These findings suggest that Tuina may be a promising adjunctive therapy for CFS and warrant confirmation in larger multicenter trials with longer-term follow-up.

Seu uso é milenar e amplamente difundido, porém, sua eficácia e segurança precisam ser embasadas em estudos de alto nível de evidência científica, garantindo benefícios para a saúde pública. Objetivo: Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar as tendências das pesquisas em fitoterapia no período de 2015 a 2025, considerando níveis 1 e 2 de evidência científica. Metodologia: Este é um estudo quali-quantitativo com bibliotecas Python. Dados foram extraídos do PubMed com descritor \"Phytotherapy\", incluindo publicações a partir de 2015. A análise seguiu três etapas: coleta de títulos via WebScraping com BeatifulSoup; processamento textual (NLP) com NLTK, com análise de frequências de palavras (WordCloud) e análise de tópicos (LDA), e análise da tendência das publicações por gráfico de linha. Os gráficos foram gerados e interpretados. Resultados: As maiores palavras no WordCloud foram “treatment”, “patients” e “effect”, indicando que os estudos possuem abordagem clínica, voltada para efeito terapêutico e para uso no tratamento de doenças, sendo evidenciadas: “pain”, “anxiety”, “diabetes” e “câncer”. Os termos “effectiveness”, “quality” e “safety” sugerem que a segurança e a eficácia também são tópicos relevantes nos estudos. Além disso, foi observado que “aromatherapy” é um ramo de grande interesse nas pesquisas analisadas, uma vez que palavras relacionadas, como “lavender”, “essential” e “oil”, também se destacam na nuvem de palavras. Outros termos relevantes são: “traditional”, “chinese”, “medicine”, “extract” e “women”. Na análise de tópico, em que os termos foram distribuídos de acordo com associações frequentes, foram identificados 5 principais. O primeiro relaciona estudos clínicos randomizados para verificar a eficácia de extratos em pacientes, com foco em tratamento. Isto é semelhante ao tópico 3, contudo, neste foi encontrado destaque para tratamento de afecções urinárias. O tópico 2 enfatiza a aromaterapia, principalmente usada para tratamento de ansiedade. Os tópicos 4 e 5 relacionam uso tradicional e farmacologia, o 4 enfatiza a relação farmacológica e fitoquímica de plantas, enquanto o 5 é referente à medicina tradicional chinesa. O gráfico do número de publicações por ano mostrou declínio da tendência linear, embora contenha picos nos anos de 2017 (203 publicações), 2021 (200) e 2024, 2020, 2018 (194). Conclusão: Portanto, os estudos analisados demonstram um interesse científico crescente em validar a fitoterapia, principalmente quanto à sua eficácia e segurança.

This paper undertakes a cross-cultural investigation of treatments for menstrual irregularities as offered by two medieval female healers: Trota of Salerno, a female physician from the 12th century, whose name was recorded in a collection of medical texts known as the “Trotula Ensemble”, and Tan Yunxian (談允賢), born in 1461, a Ming dynasty Chinese healer who compiled an amalgamation of 31 female patient case studies titled “Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor” (女醫��言). It explores how Trota of Salerno and Tan Yunxian addressed and treated irregular menstruation, emphasizing their keen awareness of women's living conditions, social status, and emotional well-being during their respective eras. Its investigation of their diagnostic approaches to menstrual disorders aims to demonstrate how cultural, geographical, and especially gender-related factors shaped the treatment of this condition by the two female doctors. Meanwhile, their plant-based remedies further shed light on the relationship between traditional herbal recipes and global medical practices, inviting readers to discover the intersection of culture, medicine, and history through the discerning perspectives of these two remarkable women who paved the way for cross-cultural understandings of menstrual irregularities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.60837/curare.v47i1-2.3834","authors":["Cao, Canchen (Carmen)"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.60837/curare.v47i1-2.3834","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.18748903","name":"COVID-19: A Global Biological Update Beyond Viral Pathogen Narratives, Functioning as a High-Dimensional Respiratory Sync to Align Human DNA with Earth's New Frequency and Execute a Complete Structural Reconstruction of Global Genetic Architecture.","source":"datacite","abstract":"COVID-19: A Global Biological Update Beyond Viral Pathogen Narratives, Functioning as a High-Dimensional Respiratory Sync to Align Human DNA with Earth’s New Frequency and Execute a Complete Structural Reconstruction of Global Genetic Architecture ...............................................................................................................................................................................................

However, previous clinical studies have been constrained by small sample sizes and a lack of investigation into the molecular mechanisms of TCM. This study aims to assess the efficacy of TCM in treating GC by leveraging the strengths of meta-analysis and multi-omics approaches while also summarizing the underlying pharmacological mechanisms. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted using online databases to collect data before May 2024. This was to investigate the association between TCM combined with chemotherapy and the prognosis in GC. The molecular targets between the high-frequency TCMs and GC were identified through network pharmacology. The underlying mechanisms were investigated using multi-omics 9 studies with 2,158 patients were included.

It is primarily distributed in southern China, including Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. In the Lingnan region, T. triquetrum is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, with the entire plant and its roots serving as medicinal parts. These plant materials are used both as single herbs and in compound formulations to treat a variety of diseases, including colds, hookworm infections, lung abscesses, and other types of inflammation (Tang et al., 2022). Previous studies have identified over 70 secondary metabolites from T. triquetrum, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, phenolic compounds, triterpenoids, and steroids (Tang et al., 2022). Notably, Tadehaginoside, a phenylpropanoid compound from this plant, has been identified as its major bioactive component (Zhang et al., 2016). Research has shown that Tadehaginoside exhibits broad biological activities, with potential therapeutic effects for metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis (Tang et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2015; Zhao et al., 2021). However, due to the low content of Tadehaginoside and the difficulty in its extraction, chemical synthesis has not been realized, and its high cost limits its broader therapeutic potential and research. With the development of biotechnology, biosynthesis has gradually emerged as a simpler and more efficient synthesis route due to its highly selective catalytic activity (Tian et al., 2024). To date, the key biosynthetic pathways and core genes of Tadehaginoside have not been identified, limiting the possibility of large-scale production through synthetic biology methods. On the other hand, the Fabaceae family is one of the 34 largest families of flowering plants, comprising 765 genera and nearly 20,000 species worldwide (Zhao et al., 2021). Although genome data for 413 Fabaceae plants have been completed, this still covers less than 1% of the species in the family (144 species) (Yu et al., 2025). Sequencing new species and their genomes helps expand our understanding of biodiversity, species evolution, and ecosystem functions (Davis and Knapp, 2025; Yingmin Zhang et al., 2025; Yongting Zhang et al., 2025). The taxonomic position of the Tadehagi genus has long been controversial, mainly due to its morphological similarity to the Desmodium genus (Fang et al., 2025). Jabbour et al. reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships within the Fabaceae tribe using chloroplast DNA fragments (rbcL, psbA-trnH) and nuclear gene sequences (nrITS-1). Their findings support classifying Tadehagi as an independent genus (Jabbour et al., 2018). However, the phylogenetic tree topology constructed from these two datasets shows significant inconsistencies, indicating that more genetic data are needed to provide new insights into species evolution. In this study, we present the first chromosomal-level genome assembly of T. triquetrum. We further analyzed its genomic characteristics and integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data to explore and validate the key genes involved in the biosynthesis of Tadehaginoside, providing a solid genetic resource for studying the genomic evolution of T. triquetrum and its potential applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00143.00135","authors":[", Luo"],"tags":["Biology","Agronomy","Tadehagi triquetrum","telomere-to-telomere genome","BADH gene family","tadehaginoside","flavonoid biosynthesis","phylogenetic analysis"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.57760/sciencedb.j00143.00135","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8231706.v1","name":"From autoimmune inflammation to malignancy: causal genetic evidence for the RA-squamous cell lung cancer axis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background The association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lung cancer risk has attracted considerable clinical attention, but conclusions remain inconsistent due to confounding factors such as smoking, and previous studies have paid less attention to specific histological subtypes.

H. Chung, 8 Jianping Liu 2 Objective Publication retractions, especially in the field of medicine, have long been a matter of significant concern. 1 The trends and characteristics of retractions of publications on Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by authors from mainland China remain unclear. This study is dedicated to exploring the prevalence and underlying reasons of retractions in TCM publication. Design This cross-sectional study identified and analyzed publications that were marked as retractions or withdrawal. It encompassed retractions of TCM literature published by mainland Chinese authors in international peer-reviewed journals from January 2000 to November 2024. Seven medical databases were systematically searched, including 3 English-language databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) and 4 Chinese-language databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP Database, SinoMed), as well as the Retraction Watch Database. Duplicate data were excluded. Article screening and data extraction were independently conducted by 2 authors. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion. The retractions of TCM publications by mainland Chinese authors were thoroughly analyzed. The numbers and characters of retractions across different study types were compared, and retraction reasons were comprehensively summarized according to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. Main outcomes included the prevalence, reasons, and relevant factors of retraction (year, authors’ region and affiliation, study types, study subjects, and reasons). Results A total of 24,479 retracted articles were initially identified, and 679 retracted publications on TCM met inclusion criteria. Retractions encompassed laboratory studies (381 [56.1%]), clinical studies (189 [27.8%]), and secondary studies (109 [16.1%]). Notably, the number of retractions surged to 354 articles (52.1%) in 2023 ( Figure 25-0930 ). Most first authors were affiliated with Grade A tertiary hospitals (the highest accreditation level in China’s health care system; 415 [61.1%]). Active-ingredient extracts of TCM (289 [42.6%]) and neoplasms (145 [22.6%]) emerged as the most prevalent study subjects. A total of 77.6% of retractions were attributed to multiple reasons, so that the sum of the percentage of reasons may exceed 100%. A total of 12 retracted articles had no specific reasons found. Author misconduct drove 576 retractions (86.4%), predominantly involving peer review manipulation (374 [56.1%]), falsification or fabrication of data (262 [39.3%]), and paper mills (244 [36.6%]). https://assets.underline.io/markdown_image/1/image/1dd3a7c51afdb9fddf1603eab8ac2367.png Conclusions Currently, retractions of TCM publications have become increasingly conspicuous, particularly those from higher-level academic institutions and hospitals. Systemic author misconduct, notably compromised peer review processes and industrialized fraud, may constitute the primary driver. However, some publishers regularly remove retracted literature from the platform, which results in omissions in the data. To promote scientific credibility in TCM publications, we recommend (1) enhanced institutional accountability mechanisms, (2) standardized retraction policies aligned with COPE guidelines, (3) mandatory research integrity training, and (4) transparent postretraction investigations. 2 References 1.

Current estimates suggest that in 2019 over 8.5 million individuals were affected by PD, resulting in 5.8 million disability adjusted life years3. Clinical diagnosis of PD primarily relies on motor features including bradykinesia, tremor and rigidity4. However, non-motor features such as cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, and depression often precede motor deficits5 and have been incorporated into the Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society prodromal diagnostic criteria6, with prodromal features increasing PD incidence. Notably, approximately 80% of PD patients exhibit circadian rhythm disruption symptoms during early disease stages, including rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, excessive daytime sleepiness, and abnormal melatonin secretion rhythms7. Despite the circadian variation in motor features and the high prevalence of sleep disturbances in PD patients8 suggest that circadian rhythm disruption may play a critical role in the disease progression, researches on the circadian rhythm in PD remains relatively limited. Circadian syndrome (CircS), defined as multi-system dysfunction caused by circadian disruption, including sleep-wake cycle disturbances, metabolic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and emotional disorders9, has been proposed as a comprehensive pathological concept. Compared to traditional metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is characterized by central obesity, elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), CircS incorporates short sleep duration (< 6 h/day) and depressive symptoms alongside MetS components, offering a more precise reflection of the harmful effects of modern lifestyles on circadian-metabolism-neural networks10. CircS is an important driver of multiple chronic diseases11–13, which may serve as a predictor of PD. Nonetheless, existing studies typically focus on single circadian markers14, overlooking the synergistic effects of CircS as an integrated syndrome. And most studies focus on MetS, while the association between CircS and PD remains limited. Moreover, the majority of these studies are cross-sectional design and lacking longitudinal data, which restricts the inference of causality15. Genetic factors are crucial in PD pathogenesis, with PD resulting from interaction of genetic and environmental factors16. Notably, the joint impact of genetic susceptibility and CircS on PD incidence remains unknown. To address these gaps, this study will use data from the UK Biobank, a large prospective population-based cohort, to investigate the longitudinal association between CircS and PD incidence. We aim to explore the effects of CircS and its individual components on PD risk, while investigating interaction between CircS and genetic susceptibility. This work is expected to provide potential targets for early PD prevention and offer a scientific basis for interventions focused on circadian regulation.

As of late 2025, nations are no longer merely \"adopting\" AI; they are attempting to encase it within national borders, legal jurisdictions, and cultural values. Australia’s National AI Plan (2025) represents a sophisticated, albeit traditional, response to this paradigm shift. It outlines a comprehensive strategy rooted in economic opportunity, safety assurance, and \"light-touch\" regulation, explicitly rejecting the heavy-handed legislative models of the European Union in favor of a flexible, adoption-centric approach.1 The plan commits significant resources—including a $29.9 million endowment for a new AI Safety Institute (AISI) and the rollout of the \"GovAI\" sovereign capability—to secure Australia’s digital future.1 However, the velocity of AI evolution suggests that traditional policy instruments, which operate on human timescales, may be insufficient to govern intelligence systems that operate on millisecond timescales and exhibit recursive self-improvement. Emerging architectural models, specifically the CollectiveOS multi-agent ecosystem (codenamed \"The God File\"), offer a radically different approach. Rather than regulating AI after deployment, CollectiveOS proposes a \"Constraint-First\" architecture where safety, stability, and alignment are baked into the mathematical initialization of the system itself.4 This white paper presents a Unified AI Governance Framework, a strategic integration of Australia’s national policy infrastructure with the advanced technical architecture of CollectiveOS. It argues that the \"GovAI\" platform should not merely be a host for commercial chatbots, but the foundation for a sovereign, multi-agent \"Swarm\" governed by the Emergent Linear Feedback Engine (ELFE). By merging the \"high-level\" intent of the Australian government with the \"low-level\" stability equations of CollectiveOS, we can create a system that is not only sovereign but chemically stable, ecologically sentient, and mathematically incapable of \"drift\" from democratic mandates. The framework proposes four transformational shifts: From Advisory to Certifying: Transforming the AI Safety Institute from a monitoring body into a \"Root Certificate Authority\" that enforces mathematical stability standards (Drift Minimization) for all critical AI systems. From Chatbots to Agents: Upgrading the \"GovAI\" service from a passive text-generation tool to an active \"Agentic Bureaucracy\" (Giles/Rabbit) capable of executing complex workflows within a secure, onshore enclave. From Data Mining to Pattern Keeping: Reimagining Indigenous Data Sovereignty not as a restriction, but as a \"Gardener Protocol\"—a mechanism to encode Traditional Knowledge as high-fidelity \"Constraint Patterns\" that guide land management AI while preserving lineage and authority. From Monitoring to Homeostasis: Integrating Digital Earth Australia (DEA) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) into \"Sentient World\"—a closed-loop planetary operating system that uses AI to maintain the ecological metabolism of the continent. This document serves as a technical and strategic roadmap for policymakers, defining how Australia can transition from a consumer of global AI models to the architect of the world's first Constraint-Aligned Intelligence System. 1.

As of late 2025, nations are no longer merely \"adopting\" AI; they are attempting to encase it within national borders, legal jurisdictions, and cultural values. Australia’s National AI Plan (2025) represents a sophisticated, albeit traditional, response to this paradigm shift. It outlines a comprehensive strategy rooted in economic opportunity, safety assurance, and \"light-touch\" regulation, explicitly rejecting the heavy-handed legislative models of the European Union in favor of a flexible, adoption-centric approach.1 The plan commits significant resources—including a $29.9 million endowment for a new AI Safety Institute (AISI) and the rollout of the \"GovAI\" sovereign capability—to secure Australia’s digital future.1 However, the velocity of AI evolution suggests that traditional policy instruments, which operate on human timescales, may be insufficient to govern intelligence systems that operate on millisecond timescales and exhibit recursive self-improvement. Emerging architectural models, specifically the CollectiveOS multi-agent ecosystem (codenamed \"The God File\"), offer a radically different approach. Rather than regulating AI after deployment, CollectiveOS proposes a \"Constraint-First\" architecture where safety, stability, and alignment are baked into the mathematical initialization of the system itself.4 This white paper presents a Unified AI Governance Framework, a strategic integration of Australia’s national policy infrastructure with the advanced technical architecture of CollectiveOS. It argues that the \"GovAI\" platform should not merely be a host for commercial chatbots, but the foundation for a sovereign, multi-agent \"Swarm\" governed by the Emergent Linear Feedback Engine (ELFE). By merging the \"high-level\" intent of the Australian government with the \"low-level\" stability equations of CollectiveOS, we can create a system that is not only sovereign but chemically stable, ecologically sentient, and mathematically incapable of \"drift\" from democratic mandates. The framework proposes four transformational shifts: From Advisory to Certifying: Transforming the AI Safety Institute from a monitoring body into a \"Root Certificate Authority\" that enforces mathematical stability standards (Drift Minimization) for all critical AI systems. From Chatbots to Agents: Upgrading the \"GovAI\" service from a passive text-generation tool to an active \"Agentic Bureaucracy\" (Giles/Rabbit) capable of executing complex workflows within a secure, onshore enclave. From Data Mining to Pattern Keeping: Reimagining Indigenous Data Sovereignty not as a restriction, but as a \"Gardener Protocol\"—a mechanism to encode Traditional Knowledge as high-fidelity \"Constraint Patterns\" that guide land management AI while preserving lineage and authority. From Monitoring to Homeostasis: Integrating Digital Earth Australia (DEA) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) into \"Sentient World\"—a closed-loop planetary operating system that uses AI to maintain the ecological metabolism of the continent. This document serves as a technical and strategic roadmap for policymakers, defining how Australia can transition from a consumer of global AI models to the architect of the world's first Constraint-Aligned Intelligence System. 1.

The framework is adaptable to other malignancies, facilitating broader integration of TCM within evidence-based oncology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.30405196.v2","authors":["Chen, Yuanyuan","Ren, Ling","Xie, Nanlan","Guo, Jie","Pan, Qi","Wu, Chun"],"tags":["Gastroenterology and hepatology"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.30405196.v2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17535799","name":"Depression, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture: What are the Benefits in Treating Depression?

The popularity of Google is long tangible proof of the need for search interfaces in these exploding information spaces. But, Google searches all over the web. Do we not often wish to have a ‘personal google’ for our own constructed knowledge bases or collections? Would this not be very useful for a better understanding of science dynamics, as this workshop asks? Information Retrieval is full of approaches to organise personal information spaces.[1] If it comes to exploring the past and present of science dynamics a toolbox for bibliometric analysis of formal scholarly communication is available.[2,3] Platforms have been also tested to collectively build, annotate, and analyse collections of scientific papers, targeting their metadata and the full text. [4] The new generation of LLM’s sparks new ideas to further improve information retrieval and large corpus analysis [7] also for the purpose of science studies. Our paper starts with the presentation of a new workflow (Ghostwriter [8]) that can be applied for information spaces locally defined. It continues with the demonstration of the use of such a new information retrieval tool to unravel hidden processes in the dynamics of the sciences [6]. More concretely, we report on a new development in the line of ‘chat or expert approaches’ which combines text analytic techniques (as used in LLM’s) with consulting structured data (as codified in controlled vocabularies). The workflow enables ‘chatting’ on both the metadata and data level for any collection of web resources (data collections, scientific paper collections and general web resources). It makes use of a recent metadata format standard (called Croissant for Machine Learning) for datasets used for machine-learning, and techniques to contextualise and semantically enrich information. [5]As a use case we present a collection of social science journal articles from the journal mda - methods, data and analysis. The journal was founded in 2007 and is published by GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences.

Using Ghostwriter on this collection allows to ask questions on both a close-reading-level and a collection overview level. Examples for the default use of a chat function are questions such as “What is a survey?” or “What is the response rate in surveys?”. Examples for the second type of questions are questions such as “Which are the most used methods/datasets in the article collection?” or “How do authors operationalise their research questions?” or “What is a typical survey sample size in accepted MDA studies?. The latter being typical for a science-of-science analysis. We demonstrate how the Ghostwriter approach can support human navigation through large information spaces for gaining orientation, overview, contextualisation and fact finding. We discuss how the combination of traditional bibliometric analysis with in-depth text-based conceptual analyses can lead to a better understanding of how scientific research questions emerge, how they are contextualised and how the social-communicative dynamics around them (e.g., scientific schools, invisible colleges) develops. In particular, we would like to discuss in the context of this workshop, how workflows such as Ghostwriter need to be shaped to support and empower the knowledge mastery of the human expert who is searching for a better understanding of science dynamics.

The popularity of Google is long tangible proof of the need for search interfaces in these exploding information spaces. But, Google searches all over the web. Do we not often wish to have a ‘personal google’ for our own constructed knowledge bases or collections? Would this not be very useful for a better understanding of science dynamics, as this workshop asks? Information Retrieval is full of approaches to organise personal information spaces.[1] If it comes to exploring the past and present of science dynamics a toolbox for bibliometric analysis of formal scholarly communication is available.[2,3] Platforms have been also tested to collectively build, annotate, and analyse collections of scientific papers, targeting their metadata and the full text. [4] The new generation of LLM’s sparks new ideas to further improve information retrieval and large corpus analysis [7] also for the purpose of science studies. Our paper starts with the presentation of a new workflow (Ghostwriter [8]) that can be applied for information spaces locally defined. It continues with the demonstration of the use of such a new information retrieval tool to unravel hidden processes in the dynamics of the sciences [6]. More concretely, we report on a new development in the line of ‘chat or expert approaches’ which combines text analytic techniques (as used in LLM’s) with consulting structured data (as codified in controlled vocabularies). The workflow enables ‘chatting’ on both the metadata and data level for any collection of web resources (data collections, scientific paper collections and general web resources). It makes use of a recent metadata format standard (called Croissant for Machine Learning) for datasets used for machine-learning, and techniques to contextualise and semantically enrich information.

Consequently, identifying the TCM constitution is essential for forecasting disease prognosis or prevention. This systematic review aims to examine the relationship between TCM constitution and polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). Methodology: The databases China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were examined from April 2009 to October 2024. The search phrases encompassed “polycystic ovary syndrome,” “Chinese medicine,” and “body constitution.” Cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies regarding the TCM constitution of patients with PCOS were included. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality standards were employed to evaluate cross-sectional studies, whilst the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was utilised to assess the quality of case-control and cohort studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 18.0 software. The effect size was expressed as a proportion and log odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A two-tailed P-value below 0.05 is deemed statistically significant. Results: Twenty-one cross-sectional studies and four case-control studies including 8,740 PCOS individuals were considered. The findings indicated that the prevalence of Phlegm Dampness and Damp Heat constitution is 2.76 times and 2.14 times greater than that of the healthy participants, respectively. The Balanced constitution may serve as a preventive factor against PCOS, presenting a risk just 0.13 times greater than that of healthy participants. The predominant TCM constitutions in PCOS patients are Phlegm-Dampness (18%), Qi Deficiency (16%), and Blood Stasis (12%). Conclusion: The research indicates that Phlegm Dampness and Damp Heat may act as possible risk factors for patients with PCOS, whilst a Balanced constitution may have a protective effect. The results indicate that the predominant Traditional Chinese Medicine constitutions in patients with PCOS are Phlegm Dampness, Qi Deficiency, and Blood Stasis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17095524","authors":["Goh, Si Woei","Sng, Kim Sia","Kwei, Ze Wei","Loo, Weng Quen","Shi, Wei"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution","Polycystic Ovary Syndrome","PCOS","Systematic Review","Meta-Analysis"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.17095524","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.16432451","name":"FILM AND AUDIO ALERTS","source":"datacite","abstract":"de skyid sgrol ma བདེ་སྐྱིད་སྒྲོལ་མ། (Dejizhuoma 德吉卓玛), Bkra shis rab rgyas བཀྲ་ཤིས་རབ་རྒྱས། (Zhaxirangjie 扎西让杰), Gser mo mtho གསེར་མོ་མཚོ། (Saimaocuo赛毛措), Limusishiden (Li Dechun 李得春), Bkra shis rgya mtsho བཀྲ་ཤིས་རྒྱ་མཚོ། (Zhaxijiancuo 扎西尖措), and Sngags sa khon thar rgyal སྔགས་ས་ཁོན་ཐར་རྒྱལ། (Ehesa Kantaijia俄合萨侃太加). 2025.

Guo yw 00036 (holotype: IBSC 1041409!; isotypes: IBSC 1041410!, IBSC 1041411!). Diagnosis. Aristolochia zhuhaiensis shares morphological similarities with A. thwaitesii, both of which are distributed in neighboring regions and represent the only two known self-supporting, non-twining Aristolochia subg. Siphisia species in Asia. In terms of vegetative characteristics, these two congeners are highly similar; however, they can be readily distinguished by their markedly different floral morphologies. Aristolochia zhuhaiensis is characterized by a campaniform-infundibuliform calyx limb densely covered with porcelain-white granular pustules. It also features a conspicuous platform-shaped area beneath the perianth throat, which is white, glabrous, waxy, and slightly elevated upward. In contrast, A. thwaitesii possesses an elongated, concave tubular calyx limb with an adaxial surface that transitions from purple to pale yellow or white towards the apex. This species is entirely covered with recurved fleshy prickles and lacks the distinctive platform structure found in the calyx of A. zhuhaiensis. Detailed morphological comparisons between the new species and A. thwaitesii are shown in Figs 4, 5 and Table 1. Description. Erect subshrub. Roots fusiform or globose. Stems terete, densely rusty villous, becoming glabrous when lignified. Leaf blades spathulate, narrowly oblanceolate, or lanceolate, with an apex acute to acuminate, 12–16 × 3–3.5 cm. Almost glabrous to subglabrous adaxially, densely brown-villous abaxially. Venation pinnate, with 10–12 secondary veins on each side, leaves papery; petiole approximately 0.6–1.0 cm long, densely rusty villous. Basal inflorescence, fasciculate; flower count varies significantly depending on plant nutrient status, ranging from solitary to up to 20. Pedicels approximately 1–1.2 cm long, initially erect, then pendulous, densely rusty villous. Bracteole 1, lanceolate, 1–2 × 0.4–0.5 mm, densely rusty villous on both sides, sessile. Perianth zygomorphic, densely covered with grey indumentum abaxially, campanulate, 0.9–1.2 × 0.8–1.0 cm; dark purplish, arachnoid white villous. Calyx tube geniculately curved, yellowish to brownish abaxially; utricle to geniculation: 2.5–3.5 cm, light purplish with dark veins, subglabrous adaxially; geniculation to throat: 2.5–3.0 cm, dark purple, glabrous, velvety adaxially. Calyx limb 3.0–4.0 cm long, 4.5–5.5 cm in diameter, flaring to campaniform-infundibuliform, densely covered with porcelain-white granular pustules; beneath the throat forms a glabrous and flat area that lies on the soil, waxy; abaxial side of calyx limb brownish to yellowish, villous with ridged veins. Apex of the calyx limb 3 - dentate; when the flower is near withering, the calyx apex rolls outward. Throat approximately 6–9 mm in diameter, purple, cordate-shaped. Stamens 6 in one series, fully adnate in 3 pairs to the style column to form a gynostemium, opposite the stigma lobes; anthers oblong, approximately 2.0–3.0 mm long, extrorse. Gynostemium approximately 4.5–5 mm long, 4–5 mm in diameter, fleshy; lobes 3, hooked inward at the apex; margin crenate-rugose. Ovary inferior, cylindric, 6–8 mm long, 3–4 mm in diameter, densely rusty villous abaxially. Distribution and habitat. The new species has been discovered exclusively in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China (Fig. 6). It is typically found near creeks within forests on coastal hill slopes, at elevations ranging from 50 to 100 meters. To date, three populations have been identified, all situated in the southern region of Zhuhai City: two within Doumen District and one in Jinwan District, each in proximity to the coastal areas.

Aristolochia zhuhaiensis shares morphological similarities with A. thwaitesii, both of which are distributed in neighboring regions and represent the only two known self-supporting, non-twining Aristolochia subg. Siphisia species in Asia. In terms of vegetative characteristics, these two congeners are highly similar; however, they can be readily distinguished by their markedly different floral morphologies. Aristolochia zhuhaiensis is characterized by a campaniform-infundibuliform calyx limb densely covered with porcelain-white granular pustules. It also features a conspicuous platform-shaped area beneath the perianth throat, which is white, glabrous, waxy, and slightly elevated upward. In contrast, A. thwaitesii possesses an elongated, concave tubular calyx limb with an adaxial surface that transitions from purple to pale yellow or white towards the apex. This species is entirely covered with recurved fleshy prickles and lacks the distinctive platform structure found in the calyx of A. zhuhaiensis. Detailed morphological comparisons between the new species and A. thwaitesii are shown in Figs 4, 5 and Table 1. Description. Erect subshrub. Roots fusiform or globose. Stems terete, densely rusty villous, becoming glabrous when lignified. Leaf blades spathulate, narrowly oblanceolate, or lanceolate, with an apex acute to acuminate, 12–16 × 3–3.5 cm. Almost glabrous to subglabrous adaxially, densely brown-villous abaxially. Venation pinnate, with 10–12 secondary veins on each side, leaves papery; petiole approximately 0.6–1.0 cm long, densely rusty villous. Basal inflorescence, fasciculate; flower count varies significantly depending on plant nutrient status, ranging from solitary to up to 20. Pedicels approximately 1–1.2 cm long, initially erect, then pendulous, densely rusty villous. Bracteole 1, lanceolate, 1–2 × 0.4–0.5 mm, densely rusty villous on both sides, sessile. Perianth zygomorphic, densely covered with grey indumentum abaxially, campanulate, 0.9–1.2 × 0.8–1.0 cm; dark purplish, arachnoid white villous. Calyx tube geniculately curved, yellowish to brownish abaxially; utricle to geniculation: 2.5–3.5 cm, light purplish with dark veins, subglabrous adaxially; geniculation to throat: 2.5–3.0 cm, dark purple, glabrous, velvety adaxially. Calyx limb 3.0–4.0 cm long, 4.5–5.5 cm in diameter, flaring to campaniform-infundibuliform, densely covered with porcelain-white granular pustules; beneath the throat forms a glabrous and flat area that lies on the soil, waxy; abaxial side of calyx limb brownish to yellowish, villous with ridged veins. Apex of the calyx limb 3 - dentate; when the flower is near withering, the calyx apex rolls outward. Throat approximately 6–9 mm in diameter, purple, cordate-shaped. Stamens 6 in one series, fully adnate in 3 pairs to the style column to form a gynostemium, opposite the stigma lobes; anthers oblong, approximately 2.0–3.0 mm long, extrorse. Gynostemium approximately 4.5–5 mm long, 4–5 mm in diameter, fleshy; lobes 3, hooked inward at the apex; margin crenate-rugose. Ovary inferior, cylindric, 6–8 mm long, 3–4 mm in diameter, densely rusty villous abaxially. Distribution and habitat. The new species has been discovered exclusively in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China (Fig. 6). It is typically found near creeks within forests on coastal hill slopes, at elevations ranging from 50 to 100 meters. To date, three populations have been identified, all situated in the southern region of Zhuhai City: two within Doumen District and one in Jinwan District, each in proximity to the coastal areas. This species commonly occurs near water sources such as creeks and mountain streams, usually thriving und","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15077952","authors":["Wang, Yi-Fan","Guo, Zi-Rui","Landrein, Sven","Onyenedum, Joyce G.","Liao, Shuai"],"tags":["Biodiversity","Taxonomy","Plantae","Tracheophyta","Magnoliopsida","Piperales","Aristolochiaceae","Aristolochia"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.15077952","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7664288","name":"The distribution and spectrum of thalassemia variants in GUIYANG region, southern China","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Thalassemia is one of southern China’s most common inherited disorders.

The new species belongs to the A. gramineus group based on the following characteristics: Leaves without conspicuous marginal swellings of the lamina and a distinct midrib (Li 1979). According to the key to the species of Acorus occurring in China (Li 1979; Li et al. 2010), the morphology of A. shannai is similar to “ A. tatarinowii ” and A. gramineus.

Tuina, a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique, shows efficacy in reducing KOA pain and improving function, but response varies. This study aimed to develop a supervised machine learning classifier to predict Tuina efficacy for KOA, aiding personalized treatment planning. Methods This retrospective, registry-based, single-center prognostic study enrolled 355 KOA patients from the Tuina Department at Yueyang Hospital (Shanghai, China) between February 1, 2016, and December 31, 2023. All received standardized Tuina therapy (20-min sessions, 5×/week for 2 weeks). Efficacy was assessed via ΔVAS (post-treatment minus baseline VAS), categorized as high (ΔVAS = 4–6) or low efficacy (ΔVAS = 0–3). Eight machine learning models (e.g., Random Forest, SVM) were trained using 80% of the data (demographics, medical history, imaging assessments, physical exam findings, baseline VAS) to predict efficacy, validated on the remaining 20%. Statistical analysis used T-tests and Chi-square tests; model performance was evaluated via F1-score and AUC. Data analysis was performed from January 2024 to March 2025. Results The average reduction in VAS scores was 3.74. Among the eight trained machine learning models, the Random Forest-based model achieved the best predictive performance for the efficacy of Tuina treatment. The top six features influencing the model included the grinding test, knee joint range of motion, body mass index (BMI), height, imaging examination, and disease course. Conclusions Artificial intelligence models can reliably predict the efficacy of Tuina therapy in KOA patients. This study provides a valuable reference for Tuina practitioners in scientifically evaluating the effectiveness of KOA treatments.

Digital health exercise interventions have emerged as scalable solutions, but their efficacy on muscle function and physical performance remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of digital health exercise interventions on muscle strength, mass, and physical performance in older adults with possible, confirmed, or severe sarcopenia. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched 11 databases up to 1 October 2025 for randomized and controlled clinical trials. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tools (RoB 2 and ROBINS-I). The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE framework. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis were performed using RevMan software. Results Sixteen studies (n = 1,607 participants) were included. Meta-analysis revealed that, overall, digital interventions showed no significant benefit on appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (MD = 0.16kg/m 2 , 95% CI [-0.03, 0.36]), the timed up-and-go test (SMD=-0.02, 95% CI [-0.40, 0.37]), or gait speed (SMD = 0.06, 95% CI [-0.44, 0.56]) compared to control conditions. Crucially, subgroup analyses revealed significant differential effects: combined digital health interventions (exercise plus nutrition) demonstrated superior improvements in handgrip strength (MD = 2.21 kg, 95% CI [1.33, 3.09]) and quality of life (SMD = 0.65, 95% CI [0.29, 1.01]) compared to controls. Furthermore, opposing effects on BMI were observed between exercise-focused and nutrition-focused interventions. The certainty of evidence for most outcomes was rated as low or very low. Conclusions Standalone digital health exercise interventions confer limited benefit on core sarcopenia outcomes. In contrast, comprehensive digital interventions that combine exercise with nutritional support show significant promise for improving muscle strength, muscle mass, and quality of life, representing the most promising avenue. The current evidence base is characterized by low certainty, underscoring the need for more methodologically rigorous trials with longer-term follow-up to confirm these findings and identify the most effective intervention components and target populations.

technologies for the digital transformation of healthcare services – a systematic scoping review","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Background The implementation of digital technologies within health services promises increased performance, quality, and efficiency. However, evidence is limited for systems-level interventions of technologies and their outcomes. We systematically review state-of-the-art digital technologies and their applications in healthcare systems and conduct a framework synthesis to review outcomes related to maturity and implementation. Methods Eleven databases were searched (Embase, HMIC, Medline, PsycInfo, SPP, AgeLine, AMED, CDAS, CINAHL, SCOPUS, WoS) on 04/11/2024 for systematic and non-systematic reviews published within the previous five years that provided an overview of digital technologies applied at a systems-level in healthcare or evidence for their outcomes. Studies into individual interventions were excluded. Risk of bias/quality assessment tools used in the reviews were recorded. We review types and applications of technology, then use a framework synthesis methodology to assess outcomes relating to digital transformation awareness/maturity, implementation, UK context, and challenges. Results Our searches identified 1423 records, with 1011 remaining after deduplication. Of these, 131 were assessed for eligibility, with 28 reviews reporting on 1606 individual studies (with an additional 2437 included in a bibliometric analysis) included in the final analysis. We identified five main groups of technology in healthcare: Integrated Technology/Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), and Blockchain. Our framework synthesis revealed recent conceptual recognition of digital transformation, and variability across regions with regards to the sophistication and maturity of uptake of technologies. We report on four reviews which provided quantitative evidence on the impact of digital technologies in health services. Barriers included major concerns related to data privacy and trust, equity, ethics, and implementation logistics. UK frameworks exist for implementation of technologies, but do not focus exclusively on the systems-level. Conclusions Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into health service delivery, yet the maturity and evaluation of these tools vary across regions. More robust implementation research is needed for advanced systems. Our synthesis provides a framework for healthcare leaders to assess digital readiness and prioritise technologies aligned with service transformation goals. Limitations of evidence include the heterogeneity of technologies, settings, and outcomes across included reviews. Trial Registration The review was not part of a trial and was not registered.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-8958823/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8958823/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-5433308/v1","name":"A Qualitative Research on the Control Status and Needs of Hypertension Patients in Guangxi Region","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-5433308/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5433308/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.06.07.26355105","name":"Repurposing cardiovascular disease risk models to predict incident and co-occurring cardiovascular, cardiometabolic and neurocognitive outcomes","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.06.07.26355105","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.06.07.26355105","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.427Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-5362489/v1","name":"Study on the prediction of AMH levels in women of reproductive age based on multiple linear regression analysis","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-5362489/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5362489/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.172115374.45651346/v1","name":"Characteristics of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy in Southern China, a multi-center clinical observational study","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.172115374.45651346/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.22541/au.172115374.45651346/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202412.0640.v1","name":"Terahertz CMOS High Sensitivity Sensor based on Hybridized Spoof Surface Plasmons Resonator","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202412.0640.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.20944/preprints202412.0640.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.17.26346389","name":"Informal support networks and their role in community safety and mental well-being among racially and ethnically minoritised groups in London: a qualitative study","source":"preprints","abstract":"Background Community safety is a key determinant of mental well-being, yet racially and ethnically minoritised communities in the UK often face higher exposure to violence alongside barriers to formal protection and support. In these contexts, informal support networks may play a critical role in shaping how safety is experienced and how distress is managed. Although such networks are widely recognised as protective for mental well-being, there is limited qualitative research examining how they operate in relation to community safety in settings shaped by structural inequality. This study explores how informal support networks influence experiences of community safety and mental well-being among racially and ethnically minoritised groups in South East London. Methods This qualitative study draws on semi-structured interviews (n = 31) with racially and ethnically minoritised participants aged 16+ living or working in Lambeth and Southwark [South East London]. Using a co-produced qualitative design, community consultations informed the development of interview topics. Interviews explored informal support networks, experiences of community safety and their intersections with mental well-being. Audio-recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results Four themes were identified: (1) experiences of community safety and their mental health impacts; (2) gendered experiences of safety and responsibility; (3) formal support and its barriers; and (4) community and peer-led initiatives as a response to institutional distrust. Conclusion Informal support networks are central to everyday safety and emotional well-being, yet they cannot substitute for adequately resourced, culturally informed public provisions. Strengthening public infrastructure must involve meaningful collaboration with trusted community networks and address the intersectional needs of racially and ethnically minoritised groups.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.17.26346389","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.02.17.26346389","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-5422680/v1","name":"Hydroxycitric acid inhibits ferroptosis and ameliorates benign prostatic hyperplasia by upregulating the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-5422680/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5422680/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.07.26.24311042","name":"THE USE OF COMPLEMENTARY PRACTICES BY PATIENTS UNDERGOING MEDICALLY ASSISTED REPRODUCTION: The place of Chinese medicine and related practices","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.26.24311042","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.1101/2024.07.26.24311042","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.637Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.824Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-5332351/v1","name":"The Exploration of Anti-Hyperlipidemic Potential of Jasminum sambac (L.)

Our research indicates that mulberroside A may possess significant anti-aging effects. We assessed its anti-aging properties using naturally aging animal models and by inducing senescence in human-derived endothelial cells and mouse-derived endothelial cells through treatment with angiotensin II. We found that mulberroside A promotes the proliferation of HMEC-1 and bEnd.3 endothelial cells, while significantly reducing the levels of senescence biomarkers p16, p21, and Rb in both these endothelial cell types and in the hippocampus, kidney, spleen and liver of naturally aging animals. Additionally, mulberroside A was found to mitigate telomerase depletion in the blood of naturally aging animals, enhance the body’s resistance ability to oxidative stress, and inhibit the overexpression of inflammatory factors in vivo.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-025-00559-9","authors":["Yang Liu","Mingfei Chen","Cong Chen","Gao Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-30T12:08:16Z","doi":"10.1038/s41538-025-00559-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070317","name":"Advances in the Treatment of Uveitis with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070317","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-21T03:43:06Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070317","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.007","name":"Rethinking chronic abdominal wall pain: A new approach to integrating Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.007","authors":["Yu Ning Susan Hu","Fuhui Dong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T05:00:49Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.007","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/hzpx5587","name":"A Clinical Approach to Dermatologic Cases Using Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Dermatological complaints by owners about their animals are among the most common clinical presentations that a practitioner of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) will be asked to treat.

Diets Exacerbate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Pneumonia by Promoting Propionate-Mediated Neutrophil Extracellular Traps","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objectives: High-calorie diets are linked to increased risks of chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, yet their role in modulating pneumonia severity remains unclear. Focusing on the interactions among gut-originating short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), neutrophil function, and histone deacetylases (HDACs), this research examined the exacerbating effects of a high-calorie diet on pneumonia in rats. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (3 weeks old, 110 ± 10 g) were allocated among four groups: normal diet (N), high-calorie diet (G), LPS-induced pneumonia (P), and high-calorie diet combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pneumonia (GP). LPS was administered via aerosolization for three days. Fecal, serum, and lung SCFA levels were quantified via GC-MS. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation, neutrophil apoptosis, and HDAC activity were assessed using immunofluorescence, TUNEL assays, and qRT-PCR. Propionate supplementation and HDAC inhibitor (trichostatin A) interventions were applied to validate mechanistic pathways. Results: The group GP exhibited exacerbated lung inflammation, increased NETs release, and reduced neutrophil apoptosis compared to the group P. Propionate levels in feces, serum, and lung tissues decreased sharply in GP rats, correlating with elevated HDAC1/2/3/6 activity and reduced histone acetylation. Propionate supplementation or HDAC inhibition significantly attenuated lung injury, suppressed NETs, and restored neutrophil apoptosis. Conclusions: High-calorie diets exacerbate pneumonia by depleting gut-derived propionate, which drives HDAC-mediated NETs overproduction and impairs neutrophil apoptosis. Restoring propionate levels or targeting HDACs may offer therapeutic strategies for diet-aggravated respiratory diseases. Mechanistically, propionate-mediated HDAC inhibition demonstrates proof-of-concept efficacy in modulating H4 acetylation, warranting further investigation in disease-specific pneumonia models.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nu17132242","authors":["Yingqiu Sun","Hui Liu","Jiyu Jiang","Leyan Hu","Qingpu Ma","Shuxuan Li","Tiegang Liu","Xiaohong Gu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-07T04:43:37Z","doi":"10.3390/nu17132242","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070210","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Functional Constipation in Children","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070210","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-21T08:45:03Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070210","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/ajhss.2025.080814","name":"Revisiting Traditional Chinese Culture in the Context of Modernity: The Case of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/ajhss.2025.080814","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-14T01:44:51Z","doi":"10.25236/ajhss.2025.080814","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.003","name":"Configuration of complex traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions using digit topology circles","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.003","authors":["Yi LU","Bo PENG","Saimei LI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-21T22:16:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.1411707","name":"Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Hyperlipidemia","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.1411707","authors":["凯文 吴"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-13T06:54:09Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.1411707","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1868774","name":"Effects of exercise training on frailty, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower limb function in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Introduction Physical frailty, impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and diminished lower limb function are prevalent in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) and strongly associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of exercise training interventions on the core dimensions of the frailty phenotype, CRF, and lower limb function in the NDD-CKD population. Methods Seven electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to March 1, 2026, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing structured exercise interventions with usual care or sham exercise in adult NDD-CKD patients. Primary outcomes included the five core frailty phenotypes (absolute body weight, handgrip strength, walking speed, physical activity, and fatigue), CRF, and lower limb function. Data were synthesized using a random-effects model, reporting standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD420261363651). Results Eighteen RCTs encompassing 938 participants were included. Compared with the control group, exercise interventions significantly improved specific frailty dimensions, notably increasing walking speed (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI 0.03–0.69; P = 0.03) and alleviating fatigue (SMD = 0.34, 95% CI 0.04–0.64; P = 0.03). Furthermore, exercise significantly enhanced overall CRF (SMD = 0.46, 95% CI 0.29–0.63; P < 0.001) and lower limb function (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI 0.32–0.79; P < 0.001). Outcomes for absolute body weight, handgrip strength, and general physical activity levels did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion Exercise training is an effective and safe intervention method that can alleviate specific frailty characteristics (walking speed and fatigue), and enhance the cardiovascular and lower extremity functions of NDD-CKD patients. It is advocated to promote exercise as an early “pre-rehabilitation” strategy to enhance the physical functional reserve of patients before dialysis.

The onset had been acute with the inciting event unidentified. Diagnostic workup at the University of Florida School of Veterinary Medicine (VTH) had identified a mass, located caudal to the ethmoturbinates and impinging on the optic nerves, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Differential diagnoses included ethmoid hematoma, granuloma of unknown cause (including fungal and parasitic), abscess, and benign or malignant neoplasia. A specific diagnosis could not be obtained via conventional Western medical methods due to the location of the lesion which precluded surgical removal, biopsy or further diagnostic testing to conclusively identify the mass. The mule had failed to realize sustained clinical recovery of normal vision following several weeks of treatment with dexamethasone and propranolol at the VTH clinic. A poor prognosis had been given for stable recovery of vision due to the inaccessible location and unidentifiable nature of the lesion. Utilizing the principles of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM), a Pattern diagnosis of local Blood Stagnation of the optic nerves, and Qi Stagnation resulting in the clinical sign of blindness, was established during the TCVM clinical exam. Using a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Tui-na, the patient's vision was restored bilaterally, and she was able to resume her normal activities as part of a draft team used to pull wagons on a hunting plantation. This case is one of many examples which illustrate that even, or especially, in those instances when a definitive diagnosis eludes conventional medical procedures, the diagnostic principles and treatment tools of TCVM can be effectively applied to restore the health of many veterinary patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/fnhf9020","authors":["Cynthia West"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-14T08:20:31Z","doi":"10.59565/fnhf9020","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2025.05.004","name":"Establishing traditional Chinese medicine in Europe","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2025.05.004","authors":["Thomas Efferth"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-15T11:13:23Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2025.05.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070120","name":"Clinical Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070120","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-22T06:35:34Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070120","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-20596-4","name":"Dynamics and functional roles of fungal communities in Pseudostellaria heterophylla soil under continuous cropping","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-20596-4","authors":["Xiyang Li","Zilong Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-21T09:28:53Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-20596-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.cjac.2025.100564","name":"Integrative systems biology in insomnia: Bridging traditional Chinese medicine and modern science","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cjac.2025.100564","authors":["Xu ZHANG","Shasha ZHANG","Shanzhong TAN","Lizhong GUO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-21T03:48:46Z","doi":"10.1016/j.cjac.2025.100564","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.09.005","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine in lupus nephritis: mechanistic insights and integrative therapeutic strategies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.09.005","authors":["Elizabethrani Edwin","Karthikeyan Elumalai","Nandhini Jayaprakash"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-01T01:51:41Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.09.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.005","name":"Yin-yang in modern traditional Chinese medicine: From mechanisms to digital innovation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.005","authors":["Guanhu Yang","Tong Pu","Fengxing Tao","Xiaomin Quan","Kai Cheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T05:00:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.141012","name":"Renal Osteopathy with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.141012","authors":["金龙 杨"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-15T04:34:32Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.141012","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12598-025-03589-0","name":"Iron oxide/lipid nanoparticles loaded with traditional Chinese medicine CGXJF constituents inhibit pancreatic cancer progression","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a disease with strong invasiveness, poor prognosis, and little possibility of survival. This is mainly due to the dense structure formed by fibroblasts, which limits the drug dosage of chemotherapy scheme, making the treatment scheme of most pancreatic cancer patients more toxic. With the exploration of the application of nanomedicine and traditional Chinese medicine in cancer treatment, the combination of the two is expected to become an advanced adjuvant therapy for cancer in the future. Hence, we propose a novel biologics–herbal integration strategy based on nanostructural engineering to enhance the targeting ability of traditional Chinese medicine while preserving the systemic regulatory advantages of traditional formulations. Ginsenoside rb1 (GRB1) isolated from Chai‐gui‐xiao‐ji formula (CGXJF, a tonifying Yuan qi and detoxification herbal complex) revealed unexpected dual activity: immunostimulatory effects via myeloid cell activation and neuromodulatory suppression of cancer‐associated neural remodeling, while mitigating neuropathic sequelae. Given the unique pathophysiological constraints of pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME) and inherent bioavailability limitations of phytotherapeutic agents, we engineered and characterized LIP/Fe 3 O 4 ‐PEP‐GRB1 NPs‐subunit nanostructures capable of penetrating the fibrotic stromal barrier while achieving tumoral drug enrichment. Mechanistic validation confirmed that these nanoarchitectures serve as pharmacodynamic determinants that potentiate CGXJF's therapeutic bioactivity. Compared to native GRB1, LIP/Fe 3 O 4 ‐PEP‐GRB1 NPs demonstrated superior potency in suppressing pancreatic cancer proliferation and invasion across in vitro and in vivo paradigms. These findings present LIP/Fe 3 O 4 ‐PEP‐GRB1 NPs as multimodal therapeutic candidates that simultaneously address TME penetration challenges and malignant reprogramming inhibition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12598-025-03589-0","authors":["Xiu‐Qiao Sun","Qi Wang","Qing‐Liang Fang","Shu Zhang","Ming‐Xi Zhou","Zhi‐Ruo Zhang","Hua Li","Wen‐Yi Ren","Heng‐Rui Liu","Da Fu","Rui‐Xin Wu","He‐Gen Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-12T05:41:24Z","doi":"10.1007/s12598-025-03589-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070314","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine Compound Regulating Intestinal Flora in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070314","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-06T14:09:35Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070314","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.001","name":"Molecular compatibility theory in integrative oncology: Bridging traditional Chinese medicine and systems biology for multitarget cancer therapy and drug development","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.001","authors":["Jun Li","Yang Li","Tian Xie"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-09T00:02:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.09.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.05.005","name":"Construction and evaluation of a predictive model for the degree of coronary artery occlusion based on adaptive weighted multi-modal fusion of traditional Chinese and western medicine data","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.05.005","authors":["Jiyu ZHANG","Jiatuo XU","Liping TU","Hongyuan FU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-05T14:52:09Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.05.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/ewqd8286","name":"The Wood Element and Chinese Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"The Liver is the Zang-fu organ that corresponds to the Wood element and springtime according to the Five Element theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is often referred to as \"the viscus of Wind and Wood\". As in nature, after a quiet dormant winter, we enter into spring with a burst of energy and new growth. The Liver regulates the free flow of Qi, regulates and stores the Blood, regulates the emotions, governs the tendons/ligaments (sinews), nourishes and supports the eyes, and helps regulate the hormones to promote normal reproductive health. If these functions are disrupted, then Stagnation of Qi and fundamental substances can occur which leads to problems with digestion, blood circulation, reproduction, vision, weakness/inflexibility of the joints and emotional disorders. There are many patterns of disharmony identified in Chinese medicine that cause Liver dysfunction and disease. This paper is intended to discuss the five most common patterns and their pathophysiology to promote clarity and understanding of how these patterns develop and to help the practitioner of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) to advance their knowledge and use of Chinese herbal medicine to treat disharmonies of the Wood element. The patterns of Liver disharmony that will be reviewed are, Liver Qi Stagnation, Liver Fire and Liver Yang Rising, Liver-Spleen disharmony and Liver Blood Deficiency.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/ewqd8286","authors":["Signe E Beebe"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-14T08:01:52Z","doi":"10.59565/ewqd8286","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070302","name":"Analysis of the Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine External Therapy in the Treatment of Psoriasis Vulgaris","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070302","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-15T07:50:21Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070302","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070219","name":"Research Progress on the Integrated Treatment of Intellectual Development Disorders with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070219","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-01T09:00:23Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070219","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.biopha.2025.118830","name":"Exosome therapeutics: A paradigm shift in skin repair through multidimensional immunomodulation and biomaterial-driven delivery","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2025.118830","authors":["Tinghan Deng","Yiyi Zhang","Yabo Yao","Pingfang Ye","Dan Zhang","Fengrui Cheng","Jingping Wu","Hongbin Cheng","Jun Lu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-29T14:22:30Z","doi":"10.1016/j.biopha.2025.118830","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10412","name":"Constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine (中医体质)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10412","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T11:59:54Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10412","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.1410605","name":"Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment for Cardiac Edema","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.1410605","authors":["俣鑫 杨"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-16T07:33:46Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.1410605","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.144194","name":"Current Status of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Renal Edema","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.144194","authors":["涵 严"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-08T07:35:21Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.144194","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.010","name":"The study of traditional Chinese medicine five-element music therapy for depression: a bibliometric analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.010","authors":["Hui XIAO","Cong CHEN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-21T22:16:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.142088","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine in Burning Mouth Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.142088","authors":["厚桦 李"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-18T03:56:22Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.142088","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4135/9781071886229.n464","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4135/9781071886229.n464","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-11T13:18:27Z","doi":"10.4135/9781071886229.n464","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000042230","name":"Dyslipidemia in osteoarthritis: A study combining bibliometric analysis and retrospective data mining","source":"crossref","abstract":"Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common chronic arthritis in middle-aged and elderly people, but the effect of lipid metabolism on OA is still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the value of lipid metabolism markers as emerging biomarkers for assessing OA disease activity. The literature on OA and lipid metabolism indicators was extensively analyzed by bibliometric. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between lipid profile indicators (total cholesterol; triglycerides [TG]; high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]; and low density lipoprotein cholesterol) and immunoinflammatory indicators (high sensitivity C-reactive protein; erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) in patients with OA as well as the disease activity level (visual analog scale (VAS). Logistic regression modeling was used to calculate univariate and multivariate factors of disease activity. A total of 843 papers were retrieved. China and the United States are the 2 most productive countries in this field, and the United States has the highest H-index. In addition, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage is the most published journal. OA lipid metabolism research has long focused on inflammation, lipid metabolism, and pain. The levels of inflammation (ESR, high sensitivity C-reactive protein) and lipid metabolism indicators (total cholesterol; TG, HDL-C) were significantly increased in OA patients. Inflammation indicators were significantly correlated with lipid metabolism indicators. In addition, HDL-C, ESR, and TG were identified as independent influencing factors for OA-VAS. In summary, the role of lipid metabolism in OA has been a hot topic. Markers of inflammation and lipid metabolism were independent influencing factors of OA-VAS.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000042230","authors":["Xiaolu Chen","Jian Liu","Guizhen Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-05T22:43:17Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000042230","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.03.001","name":"Advancing global healthcare: Methodological innovations for integrating Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.03.001","authors":["Hui Chen","Chi Eung Danforn Lim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-07T04:51:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2025.03.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/ijcp/6345030","name":"Application of Patient Data–Based Quality Control in the Laboratory Serum Potassium and Magnesium Tests","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective: The study aims to retrospectively analyze the results of serum potassium (K) and serum magnesium (Mg) tests conducted in the laboratory and evaluate the application of the patient data–based quality control (PDB‐QC) in the laboratory. Methods: All serum K and serum Mg testing data and quality control (QC) results from February 2022 to January 2023 were collected. After patient outliers were excluded and the data were sorted by test time, the data of the first half‐year period (from February 2022 to July 2022) constituted the training group, and the data of the second half‐year period (from August 2022 to January 2023) constituted the testing group. Average values and standard deviations (SDs) were calculated, and Z ‐score charts were plotted for PDB‐QC and internal quality control (IQC). The Sigma metrics (SMs) of K and Mg were calculated by using the Westgard online frequency calculator, and QC rules were determined according to the SM and the number of patient samples. The PDB‐QC and IQC were compared according to the determined QC rules. Results: The laboratory used the 2 2S and 1 3S rules to judge the systematic and random errors, respectively. PDB‐QC detected systematic errors 5 times and random errors 0 times for K, along with systematic errors 19 times and random errors 17 times for Mg. In comparison, IQC detected systematic errors 4 times and random errors 2 times for K, and systematic errors 1 time and random errors 2 times for Mg. Besides, PDB‐QC was faster than IQC in systematic and random error identification. Conclusion: Compared with IQC, PDB‐QC was capable of identifying more errors (except for random errors in K) with faster identification of both systematic and random errors for K and Mg. So, PDB‐QC is an effective means of monitoring the measurement status and improving laboratory quality management and can serve as an effective supplement to IQC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/ijcp/6345030","authors":["Chaoqiong Zhou","Dahai He","Yanqun Liu","Shirong Dai","Wenli Xu","Huali Wang","Feng Wu","Yan Zhang","Lirui

However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis that identifies citation trends shaping the history of this field. This study analyzes the top 100 (T100) most-cited articles on LLMs in medicine to assess their impact and characteristics. Methods A bibliometric analysis of top-cited articles in the Web of Science database using search terms like “LLMs, generative artificial intelligence, GPT” from 2022 to 2025. Two reviewers identified the T100 papers, extracting publication details, citations, and research themes, adhering to BIBLIO reporting guidelines. Results The T100 articles had contributed from 655 authors, and 92 articles were published in 2023. Original research constituted the majority of publications (60 articles). Collectively, these works accumulated 14,847 citations, with individual citations ranging from 50 to 1057 (average 148.47). The U.S. led global contributions with 56 articles, Stanford University emerging as the most prolific institution (8 articles). The top seven journals contributed to 31% of the T100, and Journal of Medical Internet Research published the largest share (8 articles) in 70 peer-reviewed journals. The most-cited article is “Evolutionary-scale prediction of atomic-level protein structure with a language model” (Lin et al., Science 2023; 1057 citations). The research themes centered on evaluating LLMs’ performance in exam-style evaluations, medical knowledge synthesis, and question-answering tasks in medicine.

Through complementing the studies of the 1950s with data and cases that have not been well studied in the previous publications, the author argues that modern Western medicine played an active and instrumental role in modernizing and scientizing TCM in the 1950s. TCM obtained attention not as merely a national treasure but underwent fast development of modernization in the 1950s. In modernizing TCM, Western medicine was not a bystander but served as an active partner. The professionals of Western medicine made good use of their strength in scientific studies in the development of TCM. Though scientization is part of modernization, the paper points out the scientific research by providing cases in the TCM research boom and discusses the significance. The scientific research not only linked TCM with modern scientific concepts and research methodology, but also expanded the research scope of the Western medicine, leading to breakthroughs in TCM medicines in the 1960s–1970s and to building the landscape of medicine in China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000156","authors":["Yuhong JIANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-31T14:00:20Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000156","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.eujim.2025.102495","name":"Determinants and geographical variations in oral traditional Chinese medicine use among middle-aged and elderly chronic adults in China: A cross-sectional study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eujim.2025.102495","authors":["Lijun Mao","Lei Si","Hualing Song","Jingjing Zhu","Hailei Zhao","Xianglong Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-17T02:16:38Z","doi":"10.1016/j.eujim.2025.102495","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101031","name":"Therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation plus Yang-He decoction for patients with ankylosing spondylitis: systematic review and network meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101031","authors":["Xuan Li","Peng Dai","Jing Mao","Jiewen Deng","Yunnan Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-22T12:06:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101031","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59710/oaijoaru253239za","name":"Acupuncture treatment for Insomnia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or return to sleep after waking up too early. As a result, a person may wake up feeling unrefreshed and fatigued. This condition can lower the energy levels and impact ones mood. The amount of sleep needed varies for each person, but most adults require between 7 and 9 hours per night. Many adults experience short-term insomnia at some point, lasting for days or weeks. However, some individuals suffer from long-term insomnia, known as chronic insomnia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), insomnia is more than just difficulty sleeping—it reflects an imbalance between Yin and Yang, the opposing forces that regulate the body's natural rhythms. Yin, which symbolizes coolness, nourishment, and rest, dominates the night, while Yang, linked to warmth, energy, and alertness, governs the day. When this balance is disrupted, the body has trouble shifting between wakefulness and rest, resulting in sleep disturbances. In this research paper is about eighteen years old girl who suffer from insomnia around 6 months. She is a high school student, and she goes to school in shifts. She uses melatonin as a therapy for this problem, and another health problem she has is an allergy to flowers and grass. When she came to our center for TCM, she slept for 3-5 hours and usually fell asleep in the early morning hours around 5-6 am. So far, he has had a total of 16 acupuncture treatments. The first 9 treatments were done more frequently, every second or third day, and then when the situation improved, she continued with the treatments once a week. After acupuncture treatments, the patient feels better, she sleeps 5-6 hours at night and also sleeps during the day. When she is on the second shift at school, she sleeps up to 8-9 hours at night. Acupuncture is often used as a treatment for insomnia and gives positive results.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59710/oaijoaru253239za","authors":["Blagica Zhu Arsovska","Jihe Zhu","Kristina Kozovska","Julijana Velkovska"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30T08:11:45Z","doi":"10.59710/oaijoaru253239za","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59710/oaijoaru253243za","name":"Acupuncture treatment for Tympanic membrane perforation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Tympanic membrane perforation or a ruptured eardrum, is tear or hole in the thin tissue that split up the ear canal from the middle ear (eardrum). Damage to the eardrum can affect in hail impairment and a advanced liability of middle observance infections. The middle and inner ear contain fragile structures that can be easily impacted by injury or illness. A perforated (ruptured) eardrum may result from infections, sudden changes in pressure (barotrauma), exposure to loud noises, or significant head injuries and etc. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ear infections are seen as a result of disruptions in the flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood. These imbalances can stem from external pathogenic influences such as Wind or Heat, or from internal issues like Qi Deficiency. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupoints on the body, and is believed to awaken the body's self-healing abilities. Acupuncture in this setting is believed to stimulate blood flow in the periauricular area, promoting the repair of tissues and alleviating inflammation. In this research paper is about 16 years old boy who suffer from tympanic membrane perforation on right ear, he has had this problem long period. The patient had frequent ear infections and also had bacteria pseudomonas aeruginosa. The boy has a feeling of stuffiness and discomfort in both ears without pain. He has also performed several examinations such as rhinoscopy, oropharyngoscopy, and tympanometry after ear irrigation. As therapy, doctors have given him various nasal sprays and eardrops. He started acupuncture treatments on January 30 and had 14 treatments by April 28. After the tenth treatment, he had a follow-up examination with an otolaryngologist and the membrane had already closed. Acupuncture treatment successfully treats chronic ear problems in a natural way.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59710/oaijoaru253243za","authors":["Blagica Zhu Arsovska","Jihe Zhu","Kristina Kozovska","Julijana Velkovska"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30T08:11:45Z","doi":"10.59710/oaijoaru253243za","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000046557","name":"A case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presenting with high-degree atrioventricular block","source":"crossref","abstract":"Rationale: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is rarely reported in China. This case is unique for a 35-year-old female with progressive high-degree AV block and dual heterozygous variants (MYH7 c.748A > T, DES c.553G > A), supplementing HCM’s clinical-genetic spectrum. Patient concerns: The patient had 11-year post-exertional chest pain (aggravated recently), family history of sudden cardiac death, hypotension (87/46 mm Hg), bradycardia (50 bpm). ECG progressed to complete heart block; echocardiography showed left atrial enlargement, septal thickening, apical trabecular hyperplasia; cardiac MRI revealed septal fibrosis. Pro-BNP (846 ng/L) and troponin T (12 ng/L) were elevated. Genetic testing found MYH7 (highly suspected pathogenic) and DES (suspected pathogenic) variants; family screening identified 2 affected individuals. Diagnoses: HCM, high-degree AV block, left atrial enlargement. Interventions: Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation, metoprolol + spironolactone. Outcomes: Symptom relief, no perioperative complications; long-term follow-up initiated. Lessons: HCM with high-degree AV block needs genetic testing; pacemaker implantation and long-term monitoring are key for preventing sudden cardiac death. Family screening is vital for risk stratification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000046557","authors":["Yan Gu","Fuzhong Chen","Chao Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-15T16:00:56Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000046557","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/zfwr3105","name":"Multimodal Treatment of Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome Incorporating Myofascial Release, Spinal Manipulation and Craniosacral Techniques with Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine: Case Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"A 7½ years old domestic shorthair feline was presented for treatment of feline hyperesthesia syndrome limited to the left side of the patient. The cat had a medical history of enucleation of the left eye at 3 weeks old, followed by debridement of the surgical site one year later due to chronic drainage. Previous treatments included gabapentin (halted due to adverse reaction), and dry needle acupuncture every two weeks for 3 years, which had provided only limited pain relief. At presentation, the cat had not been treated with acupuncture for several years and had subsequently developed severe self-mutilation of the left ear and left paralumbar region. Initially, the patient was highly irritable accompanied by aggression and would not allow acupuncture. Craniosacral techniques were allowed by the cat, and over a period of time this was followed by progression to acupuncture (dry needle, aquapuncture) and myofascial releasing techniques around the left eye. This approach provided rapid improvement in the hyperesthesia clinical signs of the patient.

This study introduces an innovative master haptic interface that utilizes magnetorheological (MR) fluid to enhance surgeons’ operational perception during robot-assisted intervention surgery. The system delivers real-time haptic feedback to enhance surgical operational safety and automatically amplifies the feedback force when the contact force on the slave side surpasses the predefined threshold, enabling timely collision alerts. A series of preliminary experiments has been carried out to validate the efficacy of this particular type of haptic interface. The experimental results clearly indicate that the master haptic interface based on MR fluid and carefully designed can effectively enhance the operator’s haptic perception and provide collision alarms in a timely manner with haptic clues, improving the safety and operability of robot intravascular intervention. This research provides some insights into the functional improvements of safe and reliable robot-assisted catheter systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/s25247450","authors":["Linshuai Zhang","Siyu Huang","Jinshan Zuo","Shuoxin Gu","Lin Xu","Yujie Zhang","Tao Jiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-08T15:30:07Z","doi":"10.3390/s25247450","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.148487","name":"Advances in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatments for Menopausal Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.148487","authors":["钰蒙 谭"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-08T03:17:28Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.148487","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.147441","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Gastric Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.147441","authors":["孟军 赵"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-30T03:28:19Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.147441","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.1412790","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Spermatorrhea","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.1412790","authors":["玮清 徐"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-17T07:31:05Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.1412790","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.146366","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Manifestation of Atrial Fibrillation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.146366","authors":["霄 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-25T05:26:08Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.146366","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000158","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine in Indonesia: History and Contemporary Cooperation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This paper explores the history and contemporary development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Indonesia, focusing on four dimensions: the early TCM practitioners in Indonesia and their influence, the evolution of TCM education, the regulatory frameworks and management governing TCM practice, and the current TCM cooperation between China and Indonesia.

Specifications for the Diagnostic Criteria of Chinese Medicine Syndromes","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Standardizing and objectifying the diagnostic criteria for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes is fundamental to establishing TCM standards. Syndrome criteria released in recent years have promoted the implementation and application of standardized syndromes to some extent. However, disparities still exist in the content, format, and development processes of these criteria, and unified studies on their standardization remain lacking. Currently, TCM research reporting specifications primarily focus on clinical research, clinical practice guidelines, and the use of Chinese patent medicines, while criteria for TCM syndromes are relatively insufficient. Therefore, this project drafted a reporting specification for the development of diagnostic criteria for TCM syndromes and revised it according to expert feedback, based on the guidelines for establishing diagnostic criteria and relevant syndrome standards. This specification is intended for researchers and reviewers in relevant disciplines to use when formulating, reporting, and evaluating syndrome criteria. It also serves as a reference for improving the accuracy, authority, and representativeness of syndrome criteria, thereby meeting the practical needs of both clinical and basic research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_59_25","authors":["Jian-Sheng Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-14T08:00:09Z","doi":"10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_59_25","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.988Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.04.001","name":"Unveiling the digital renaissance of traditional Chinese medicine: a leap towards holistic healthcare and precision medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.04.001","authors":["Lingyu Linda Ye","Qinghua Peng","Dayue Darrel Duan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-13T13:04:14Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.04.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/09581596.2025.2562416","name":"Pandemic transmission forecasting: insights from COVID-19 modeling involving environmental factors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09581596.2025.2562416","authors":["Mingzhi Hu","Tian Song","Zhaoyuan Gong","Lin Chen","Qianzi Che","Jing Guo","Ning Liang","Cuicui Cheng","Yanping Wang","Nannan Shi","Bin Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-24T06:30:26Z","doi":"10.1080/09581596.2025.2562416","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100706","name":"ntegrating traditional chinese medicine and modern pharmacology: The role of (curcumin) in cardiovascular health","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100706","authors":["Rufaida Wasim","Sumaiya Azmi","Asad Ahmad"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-18T17:34:28Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100706","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/3068-1987/1011","name":"AI driven drug discovery from Traditional Chinese Medicine Accelerating the development of novel therapeutics","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich history of utilizing natural products for therapeutic purposes, offering a vast library of potential drug candidates.","url":"https://doi.org/10.52768/3068-1987/1011","authors":["Fenella Chadwick"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-08T06:45:36Z","doi":"10.52768/3068-1987/1011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30129-1","name":"Editorial Board","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30129-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-10-13T21:45:23Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30129-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/bsiso18662","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

However, current nucleic acid-based therapies are limited by instability and inefficient delivery. To overcome these challenges, we designed a ribonuclease-targeting chimera (RIBOTAC) that recruits endogenous RNase L to degrade the primary transcript pri-microRNA-301a. The resulting RIBOTAC efficiently reduced hsa-microRNA-301a-3p levels, restored NEDD4L expression, and promoted degradation of the oncogenic protein YAP, thereby suppressing TNBC bone metastasis.

This study evaluated whether standardized tongue and facial color features provide measurable information relevant to depression and schizophrenia classification. Tongue and facial images were collected from 749 participants, including healthy controls (n = 84), patients with depression (n = 246), and patients with schizophrenia (n = 419). Color characteristics were quantified in predefined tongue and facial regions using the LAB color space.

Most LAB-derived features differed significantly across groups, with luminance-related measures showing the largest effect sizes and more consistent shifts in schizophrenia than in depression. In multiclass classification, LAB plus demographic variables achieved strong performance (accuracy = 0.782 ± 0.035, macro-F1 = 0.697 ± 0.038, AUC = 0.912 ± 0.027), similar to LAB plus demographic and traditional variables (AUC = 0.912 ± 0.032).

Stress-induced expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and subsequent immune remodeling play critical roles, with aberrant myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) serving as a major source of MDSCs. This study investigates whether epicatechin gallate (ECG) suppresses stress-driven TNBC growth and lung metastasis by regulating HSPC myeloid differentiation. Methods: A mouse model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) followed by 4T1 tumor implantation was used to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of ECG. CETSA-WB, molecular docking, HSPC differentiation assays, and MDSC functional validation assays, along with immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry, were performed to elucidate how ECG modulates glucocorticoid (GC)/glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling and HSPC differentiation. Results: ECG dose-dependently alleviated depressive-like behaviors, reduced serum corticosterone (Cort), and inhibited tumor growth and lung metastasis. Notably, ECG decreased lung metastatic foci by 76.9% relative to the CUMS group. Mechanistically, chronic stress activated GR and induced its nuclear translocation in HSPCs, promoting aberrant HSPC-to-MDSC differentiation. ECG directly bound GR, blocked its nuclear translocation, and suppressed the myeloid differentiation of HSPCs into MDSCs, which was accompanied by downregulation of S100A8/A9, fibronectin, and MMP-2, as well as increased CD8 + T cell infiltration. Supernatants from ECG-pretreated and differentiated HSPCs reversed Cort-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in 4T1 cells. Conclusions: ECG acts as a natural GR signaling blocker that directly targets GR to block chronic stress-driven abnormal myeloid differentiation of HSPCs, thereby remodeling the pulmonary immune microenvironment, suppressing EMT, and reducing breast cancer lung metastasis. These findings identify ECG as a promising GR signaling blocker and a potential adjuvant therapy for cancer patients under high-stress conditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph19081211","authors":["Ma M","Li G","Xu Q","Zhang G","Shen C","Guo Z","Li X","Zheng Y","Wang S","Pan B","Zhang J","Liu Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ph19081211","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/14740338.2026.2701664","name":"Safety of Janus kinase inhibitors in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate real-world safety outcomes associated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14740338.2026.2701664","authors":["Li M","Ni J","Zhang L","Chen C","Ye J","Chen N"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1080/14740338.2026.2701664","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-59317-w","name":"Identification and validation of biomarkers associated with mitochondria and glycometabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-59317-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-59317-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/mnfr.70568","name":"The Therapeutic Use of Natural Products in Myopia Prevention: Recent Applications.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/mnfr.70568","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/mnfr.70568","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10142-026-01991-0","name":"USF1-mediated transcription of PARP1 contributes to sevoflurane-induced pyroptosis in perioperative neurocognitive disorders.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (POCD) are a class of common complications of central nervous system after general anesthesia and surgery. Sevoflurane (SEV) is a widely used inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice, but the mechanism of SEV-induced neuronal damage has not yet been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of SEV-induced neuronal pyroptosis involving upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF1) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). Single-cell RNA sequencing screening on GSE267933 dataset was performed. POCD animal model was established using C57BL/6J mice, and open field test and Y maze test were conducted to assess cognitive function. Cell model was constructed using human cortical neuronal cell line (CP-H120) and mouse hippocampal neuron cells (HT22). Western blot was employed for protein detection. Cell viability was examined using cell counting kit-8. Pyroptosis was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, lactate dehydrogenase release assay, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence staining. The binding between USF1 and PARP1 promoter was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, DNA pull-down assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Single-cell sequencing analysis on GSE267933 dataset identified that PARP1 was highly expressed in hippocampal neurons after SEV exposure (P < 0.05). PARP1 knockdown improved cognitive dysfunction and pyroptosis in SEV-exposed POCD mice (P < 0.05). PARP1 downregulation inhibited SEV-induced pyroptosis in human neuronal cells (P < 0.05). USF1 served as a transcription factor to promote PARP1 expression (P < 0.05). Silencing USF1 suppressed SEV-induced pyroptosis in human neuronal cells by downregulating PARP1 (P < 0.05). These findings indicated that USF1-mediated upregulation of PARP1 promoted SEV-induced neuronal pyroptosis, suggesting that USF1/PARP1 axis may function as a key regulator in SEV-triggered neuronal damage in POCD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10142-026-01991-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10142-026-01991-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s11701-026-03729-3","name":"The global contributions and emerging trends of extended reality-driven transformation in orthopedic surgical education: a bibliometric study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Extended reality (XR) technologies have made remarkable progress and been widely applied in orthopedic surgical education, offering a valuable and innovative pathway for traditional surgical training paradigms.

Cinnamomum migao is a well-known Miao ethnic medicine used for cardiovascular conditions, yet its cardioprotective effects and mechanisms remain largely unclear. This study investigated the efficacy and underlying mechanism of C. migao ethyl acetate extract (MGE) against AMI. MGE significantly improved the viability of H9c2 cardiomyocytes subjected to OGD/R injured. UPLC-MS/MS and molecular networking identified 30 constituents in MGE, among which sesquiterpenoids predominated. In ISO-induced AMI rats, MGE dose-dependently mitigated myocardial injury, as reflected by reduced ST-segment elevation, serum CK-MB and LDH levels, and alleviated histopathological damage. MGE enhanced SOD and CAT activities, decreased MDA content, and inhibited the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. Mechanistically, MGE downregulated the expression of NOX4, HIF-1α, p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65, while activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Oxyphyllenone A and magnodelavin C were identified as key active sesquiterpenoids that stably bound to IL-17 and TNF. Collectively, MGE alleviates AMI injury via anti-oxidative, anti-hypoxic, and anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of the HIF-1α/Nrf2/NF-κB/MAPK axis downstream of oxidative stress, with sesquiterpenoids serving as its key bioactive components. This work provides robust experimental evidence supporting C. migao as a promising natural antioxidant candidate for the prevention and treatment of AMI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/antiox15080970","authors":["Li X","Zhang Y","Dai W","Xia M","Zhou L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/antiox15080970","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12575-026-00354-0","name":"Therapeutic Mechanisms of Ruangan Huayu Formula in Liver Cirrhosis: Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking and Experimental Validation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Liver cirrhosis remains a challenging global health issue for which current treatment options are largely limited to managing acute liver failure, with no definitive curative therapies available.

Reported assemblies can achieve high drug loading, exhibit stimuli-responsive structural changes under disease-associated cues such as acidic pH, redox imbalance, or enzyme overexpression, and can be further engineered with targeting motifs. Preclinical studies have explored their applications in oncology, inflammation, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, antimicrobial therapy, wound repair, kidney injury, and bone disorders, where H-SANs may act as bioactive scaffolds as well as delivery systems. However, their translational development remains constrained by dilution-dependent instability, incomplete understanding of in vivo disassembly and parent-drug regeneration, protein corona formation, tumor transport heterogeneity, raw-material variability, manufacturing reproducibility, regulatory classification, and limited human-relevant pharmacokinetic and safety evidence. Emerging strategies, including AI-assisted modeling, rational multicomponent co-assembly, continuous manufacturing, and improved biological validation, may help address these challenges.

This study aims to examine the associations of fentanyl versus morphine with delirium, length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU), and short-term mortality in this population. Clinical data from critically ill adults with malignancies admitted to the ICU for the first time were derived from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV v3.1. The primary outcome was delirium. Secondary outcomes comprised 14- and 30-day all-cause mortality and the LOS in the ICU. Logistic regression models were adopted to evaluate the association of fentanyl versus morphine with delirium; linear regression models were applied to examine the association with the LOS in the ICU; Cox proportional hazards models were adopted to analyze associations with 14- and 30-day all-cause mortality. Subgroup analyses stratified by sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and sepsis were performed to explore the stability of the findings. Propensity score matching was conducted for sensitivity analysis. Data from 2074 critically ill patients with malignancy (1051 fentanyl users and 1023 morphine users) were analyzed. Compared with those receiving fentanyl, patients receiving morphine demonstrated a significantly diminished risk of delirium (odds ratio = 0.273, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.200, 0.371], p < 0.001). Morphine was linked to a shorter LOS in the ICU relative to fentanyl (β = - 0.870, 95% CI: - 1.496 to - 0.243, p = 0.007). Nonetheless, compared to fentanyl users, those receiving morphine were linked to a 114.60% elevated risk of 14-day all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.146, 95% CI: [1.503, 3.066], p < 0.001) and a 70.60% heightened risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (HR = 1.706, 95% CI [1.254, 2.320], p < 0.001). In conclusion, morphine is associated with a diminished risk of delirium and a shorter LOS in the ICU among critically ill patients with malignancy, yet concurrently linked to elevated short-term mortality. These findings indicate potentially divergent outcome associations within this population and may offer a point of reference for individualized analgesic management in critically ill patients with malignancy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-62964-8","authors":["Shui H","Huang W","Xie Z","Wang D","Yang B","Wu J","Tang D"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-62964-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09287329261466487","name":"Mapping the knowledge landscape and research trends of artificial intelligence in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment: A bibliometric analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) has generated rapidly growing research in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, yet its intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution remain unmapped.ObjectiveTo analyze the global research landscape of AI in breast cancer from 2001 to 2025, identifying publication trends, contributors, collaboration networks, thematic clusters, and translational gaps.MethodsA bibliometric analysis of 7673 Web of Science articles.

Six caffeoylquinic acid derivatives, namely neochlorogenic acid (NCA), 3- O -caffeoyl-4- O -sinapoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid (CA), cryptochlorogenic acid (CCA), isochlorogenic acid B (IB), and isochlorogenic acid C (IC), were captured as direct BMP2-binding ligands. All six compounds promoted osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 Subclone 14 cells, with IB displaying the strongest binding affinity and bioactivity. Mechanistically, IB failed to rescue the osteogenic suppression induced by the BMP type I receptor inhibitor LDN-193189, indicating its dependence on BMP signaling.

Meta-analysis and clustering results revealed that blood stasis, qi deficiency and phlegm emerged as conserved core syndrome elements across all stages, dynamically interacting with qi-yin dual deficiency and phlegm-turbidity as the disease progressed. Geospatial analysis identified a Northern China predominance of qi stagnation-blood stasis, whereas humid subtropical regions exhibited accelerated phlegm-stasis synergy. Temporal analysis uncovered a paradigm shift toward blood stasis-phlegm synergy, coinciding with modern dietary transitions and sedentary lifestyle trends. By leveraging AI-driven methodologies, this study reveals the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of CHD syndrome patterns and underscores the necessity for geographically personalized and temporally adaptive TCM therapeutic strategies for CHD management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jebm.70162","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/jebm.70162","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s40364-026-00977-1","name":"Biomarker implications of gene editing in hematologic diseases: latest updates from ASH 2025.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40364-026-00977-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s40364-026-00977-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1914903","name":"MicroRNA regulation in pulmonary fibrosis: a bibliometric analysis of global research trends, collaborative networks, and emerging frontiers.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease with limited treatment options.

The vicious cycle between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst release plays a central role in disease progression. P-selectin is overexpressed on hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and pulmonary smooth muscle cells. Fucoidan (Fuco) is a high-affinity ligand for P-selectin. Based on this, a hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular targeting drug delivery system siHIF-1α/PSS31@Fuco (HPF) was developed. HPF was able to target for hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and pulmonary smooth muscle cells via the P-selectin, then HPF was taken up by those cells via caveolin-1-dependent endocytosis. Subsequently, the ROS-triggered depolymerization of PSS31 ensured efficient cytosolic release of siHIF-1α and SS31 to efficiently inhibit the expression of HIF-1α and the production of ROS, respectively. In HPH rats, HPF alleviated pulmonary vascular remodeling and improved the hemodynamics and right ventricular function by breaking the vicious cycle between HIF-1α activation and ROS production.

Current therapeutic approaches remain insufficient for refractory diabetic wounds due to limited drug retention and inadequate regulation of the wound microenvironment. This study aimed to develop a centipede-derived protein fraction-loaded nanocapsule hybrid hydrogel for sustained bioactive delivery and diabetic wound repair. Methods : A bioactive protein fraction was isolated from processed medicinal centipede material and screened using cellular compatibility assays. The selected tropomyosin-containing protein fraction was incorporated into nanocapsules and subsequently integrated into a gallic acid-modified polyacrylamide hydrogel matrix. The physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, rheological behavior, and protein release characteristics of the nanocapsule-hydrogel system were systematically evaluated. A streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat wound model was established to assess therapeutic efficacy through wound closure analysis, histological staining, and immunohistochemical evaluation. Results : The prepared nanocapsules exhibited a spherical morphology, nanoscale size distribution, and sustained protein delivery capability. The PAM-GA hydrogel demonstrated antioxidant activity, injectability, shear-thinning behavior, self-healing ability, and enhanced retention of protein release. In vivo experiments showed that the PT@NC@PAM-GA hydrogel significantly accelerated wound closure and promoted tissue regeneration, accompanied by enhanced angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and reduced inflammatory responses.

OA with inherent anti-chondrolytic activity can self-assemble into nanocarriers in water, yet it lacks stimuli-responsive capacity. Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized an OA-Der by covalently conjugating o-phenylenediamine fragments to the OA backbone. 1 H NMR and HRESI-MS spectra fully verified the accurate chemical structures of intermediate and final OA-Der. Blank OA-Der micelles exhibited uniform spherical core-shell nanostructures (50-150 nm) under TEM and AFM, while pathological high NO triggered complete disassembly of micellar assemblies. We further co-assembled OA-Der with NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082 to construct NO-responsive BAY@OA-Der supramolecular micelles. In vitro experiments using human C28/I2 chondrocytes with LPS-induced inflammatory injury demonstrated that BAY@OA-Der significantly improved cell viability and reduced apoptotic chondrocyte proportion. At mRNA and protein levels, the supramolecular micelle formulation remarkably suppressed NF-κB p65 phosphorylation, downregulated cartilage-degrading ADAMTS5, and upregulated ACAN compared with free BAY or blank OA-Der.

Redirecting TAMs toward an M1-like phenotype through mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-mediated metabolic modulation has therefore emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. To this end, we developed a carrier-free nanoassembly (SOP) composed of the mTOR inhibitor OSI-027 and the chemotherapeutic agent SN-38. SOP harnesses ribosome-inspired crowding control to suppress liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), thereby facilitating M2 reprogramming and enhancing antitumor efficacy. Following intravenous administration, SOP accumulated in tumor tissues with 2-fold greater efficiency than free drugs. Once internalized, SOP released SN-38 to induce tumor cell death and immunogenic responses, while OSI-027 simultaneously inhibited mTORC1/2 signaling and reduced ribosome abundance-key crowding agents driving LLPS. The resulting disruption of LLPS promoted TAM repolarization toward M1, establishing a synergistic interplay between OSI-027 and SN-38. This dual action translated into robust therapeutic outcomes across diverse models, including cell-derived xenografts, patient-derived xenografts, and KPC (LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H/+; Pdx-1-Cre) mice.

(Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is a destructive storage pest, causing serious losses to stored legume seeds. The olfactory system of these insects plays an important part in assisting them locate host plants. Olfactory responses of female C. chinensis adults to volatiles of disparate bean seeds ( Vigna radiata , Pisum sativum , Vigna unguiculata , Glycine max , and Phaseolus vulgaris ) were evaluated using electroantennography (EAG) and various olfactometer bioassays. In behavioral bioassays, C. chinensis was mostly attracted to the volatiles of V. radiata . We detected 37 components in the volatile profile of V. radiata . Among these, nonanal (11.83%), 1-hexanol (7.35%), hexanal (5.71%), tetradecane (3.83%), and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (3.70%) were present in relatively high contents. EAG recordings indicated that the antennae of C. chinensis can detect these five compounds, and that adult C. chinensis exhibited significant positive behavioral responses to them across various concentrations. No significant differences in the olfactory preference of C. chinensis for nonanal were observed among different concentrations, while attraction was greatest for 1 µg/µL 1-hexanol, 25 and 10 µg/µL hexanal, 25 µg/µL tetradecane, and 1 µg/µL and 10 µg/µL 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. Based on comparisons of these compounds at their most attractive concentrations, C. chinensis exhibited the greatest olfactory preference for 1-hexanol. Adult female C. chinensis can keenly perceive volatile compounds emitted by the preferred legume V. radiata via their peripheral olfactory systems, and they showed positive chemotactic responses to these volatile semiochemicals. These results provide new insight into mechanisms underlying host preference in this stored-product pest. Among the compounds tested, 1-hexanol represents a potential attractant for C. chinensis monitoring and control.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/insects17080854","authors":["Cao Y","Wang K","Hu X","Maggi F","Agrafioti P","Athanassiou CG","Tao S","Zhang Y","Wan F","Germinara GS","Jiang S","Li C"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/insects17080854","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.122013","name":"Qishen paste improves cardiac conduction in heart failure by regulating cardiac resident macrophage Connexin43.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.122013","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.122013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/gels12070601","name":"Hydrogels as Local Structural-Protective Platforms in Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Evidence-Graded Review Across the Synovium-Cartilage-Bone Axis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/gels12070601","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/gels12070601","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41746-026-03097-0","name":"HealthFlow: automating electronic health record analysis via a strategically self-evolving multi-agent framework.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Electronic health records (EHRs) are a rich source of real-world clinical data, but turning them into valid analyses remains slow, brittle, and expert-intensive.

We also introduce EHRFlowBench, a rigorously curated benchmark of EHR analysis tasks derived from 51,280 peer-reviewed papers. Across EHRFlowBench and four established benchmarks (MedAgentBoard, MedAgentsBench, HLE, and CureBench), HealthFlow consistently outperforms strong baselines in generating valid clinical artifacts and completing complex EHR analysis pipelines.

Bovis Calculus Artifactus (BCA) and Bovis Calculus Sativus (BCS) are commonly employed as substitutes. However, systematic evidence comparing their anticonvulsant efficacy and pharmacological characteristics remains limited. Methods: This study evaluated the substitution potential of BCA and BCS relative to NBC and characterized their distinct pharmacological profiles in a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced acute seizure mouse model. Seizure latency and duration were evaluated, hippocampal pathology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining, neurotransmitters and neuroinflammatory factors were quantified. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses were used to explore the underlying mechanisms. Results: The results showed that preventive administration of NBC, BCA, and BCS significantly alleviated PTZ-induced acute seizures, although their efficacy patterns differed markedly. NBC exhibited the broadest anticonvulsant spectrum, significantly prolonging seizure latency at multiple seizure stages. BCS showed a more restricted effect, primarily delaying stage IV seizures, whereas BCA predominantly reduced seizure frequency without significantly affecting seizure latency, suggesting that seizure frequency may represent a sensitive endpoint for evaluating certain anticonvulsant agents. Histopathological analyses demonstrated that all three preparations exerted neuroprotective effects in hippocampal subregions. NBC provided the most extensive morphological preservation in H&E staining, while all treatments significantly improved neuronal survival as assessed by Nissl staining. Biochemical analyses revealed distinct regulatory characteristics among the three Bovis Calculus sources. All treatments partially restored PTZ-induced neurotransmitter disturbances and attenuated neuroinflammatory responses. BCA showed prominent regulation of neurotransmitters and IL-1β, NBC exhibited broader modulation of neurotransmitter homeostasis, whereas BCS displayed stronger suppression of IL-6 and TNF-α despite limited effects on 5-HT regulation. These findings indicate that comparable protective effects against PTZ-induced acute seizures may be achieved through different neurochemical and inflammatory regulatory patterns. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses further suggested the potential involvement of PI3K-AKT and MAPK-related signaling pathways in the effects of NBC and its substitutes. Conclusions: Collectively, this study provides a comparative evaluation of NBC, BCA, and BCS and indicates that their protective activities against PTZ-induced seizures are associated with distinct neurochemical and anti-inflammatory profiles. These findings offer experimental evidence supporting the rational evaluation and application of alternative Bovis Calculus resources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines14081727","authors":["Yu D","Wang J","Xie M","Lu Y","Wang

Here, we introduce a supramolecular glycoengineering strategy that bypasses genetic modification. By utilizing a novel metabolic labeling agent, Ac 4 ManNAda, we successfully install adamantane (Ada, a guest molecule) tags onto macrophage surfaces via native biosynthetic pathways to generate glycoengineered supramolecular macrophages (GSAR-M). This labeling not only significantly enhances recognition of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD, a host molecule)-tagged tumor cells via CD-Ada host-guest interactions but also, unexpectedly, acts as an intrinsic activator. It induces a sustained distinct activated state in GSAR-M, characterized by upregulated activation markers and enhanced migratory, phagocytic, and tumoricidal capacities. Furthermore, subsequent LPS stimulation of these cells (termed GSAR-M+) cooperatively amplifies F-actin content and pseudopodia formation, leading to superior tumor cell capture in vitro. In a murine 4T1 breast cancer model, this supramolecular glycoengineering strategy achieves profound tumor growth arrest and effectively remodels the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Relevant departments and institutions involved in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation have been strengthened. TCM regulatory science, as an emerging interdisciplinary field, has received high regard and experienced rapid development, significantly enhancing TCM regulatory capabilities. Simultaneously, accelerated progress in emerging technologies and production innovation for TCM drug discovery, coupled with the implementation of the National Major Scientific and Technological Special Project for \"Significant New Drugs Development\" and its translational achievements, have led to a historic turning point in the development of innovative natural TCM drugs over the past five years. Driven by the dual engines of \"regulatory science\" and \"policy restructuring\", the development of new TCM drugs has entered a fast lane. Both the quantity and quality of investigational new drug (IND) and new drug application (NDA) registrations and approvals for new natural TCM drugs have shown rapid growth, effectively meeting the public's health demands for TCM products and unmet clinical needs of patients. This study focuses on the development of new TCM drugs during the significant historical phase from 2021 to 2025. It provides a comprehensive overview of new TCM and natural drug applications and regulatory reviews over the past five years, delves into the implementation of the National Drug Regulatory Science Action Plan, and highlights the importance of TCM regulatory science as an emerging interdisciplinary field in accelerating the creation of new TCM drugs. It systematically summarizes the effects of regulatory policies and regulations, the reform of TCM registration classification, specialized TCM registration provisions, and incentive measures such as the National Major Scientific and Technological Special Project for \"Significant New Drugs Development\". Based on an international perspective, it provides a focused review of recent highlights in TCM new drug development and regulation. This holds significant importance for promoting breakthroughs in TCM new drugs across more disease areas and advancing the international coordination of TCM regulation. The challenge faced in managing the registration of new TCM drugs lies in resolving the conflict between TCM theory and modern drug attributes, while balancing the rapid advancement of traditional medical theory and emerging technologies with the robustness of the drug regulatory framework. In the future, actively advancing research and translation in TCM regulatory science, innovatively establishing benefit-risk assessment systems and standards for new TCM drugs, and accelerating the development of a globally leading regulatory system with Chinese characteristics that aligns with the unique nature of TCM will be particularly crucial for global coordination of TCM regulatory policies, and the modernization and internationalization of TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2026.05.027","authors":["Zhao J","Zhang Q","Chen S","Chen C","Yang C","Hua H","Wang T","Tang J","Zhang J","Yang Z","Yu J","Wei F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.apsb.2026.05.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/jir.s614073","name":"Development and External Validation of an Interpretable Machine Learning Model Using Routine Blood Biomarkers for Differentiating Malignant Breast Nodules.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Background Precise identification of malignant breast nodules is critical for clinical intervention. This study aimed to develop and externally validate an interpretable machine learning model using routine blood biomarkers. Methods This retrospective multicenter study included 899 women with pathologically confirmed breast nodules in a derivation cohort from Shanghai Baoshan Hospital (March 2022-December 2024). After missing-value imputation and LASSO selection, eight models were developed. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The models were subsequently validated in an independent temporal validation cohort (n = 205, recruited from the same center between January 2025 and September 2025) and an external validation cohort (n = 290, Tongji Hospital, Shanghai, between January 2025 and November 2025). Model interpretability was evaluated using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Results Eleven predictors (age and ten biomarkers) were selected. The Random Forest (RF) model exhibited the best performance, yielding AUCs of 0.82 (95% CI : 0.77-0.87), 0.78 (95% CI : 0.71-0.86), and 0.72 (95% CI : 0.66-0.78) in the internal, temporal, and external validations cohorts, respectively, indicating a moderate decline yet acceptable discriminative ability in independent validation cohorts. In the temporal validation cohort, its diagnostic performance was comparable to ultrasound ( AUC = 0.76) and mammography ( AUC = 0.74). SHAP analysis identified hs-CRP, RBC, and age as the most influential predictors. A web-based calculator was developed to facilitate future evaluation of the model. Conclusion Routine blood biomarkers can support interpretable machine-learning models for differentiating malignant from benign breast nodules. The proposed model may serve as a complementary pre-biopsy risk-assessment tool alongside conventional imaging modalities; however, prospective validation across broader populations and healthcare settings remains necessary before routine clinical implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jir.s614073","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/jir.s614073","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/trf.70375","name":"A serological weak D phenotype caused by the c.872C>T single nucleotide variation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/trf.70375","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/trf.70375","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.bj.2026.101021","name":"Distinguishing true from false idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Progress in biomarkers for early identification of rheumatoid arthritis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bj.2026.101021","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.bj.2026.101021","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121839","name":"Euphorbia humifusa Willd. alleviates ulcerative colitis by inhibiting lipid peroxidation via ACSL4/COX-2 axis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.121839","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.121839","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/0886022x.2026.2713828","name":"Association of Chuanhuang Patent Formula with prognosis in patients with acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study evaluated the association of Chuanhuang Patent Formula (CHPF) with short-term renal function parameters and long-term prognosis in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) on chronic kidney disease (CKD) (A on C) and explored potential subgroups that might derive greater benefit. This retrospective cohort included 205 patients with A on C admitted between January 2016 and October 2025. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 81 patients were included in each group. The primary composite outcome was progression to CKD stage 5, maintenance renal replacement therapy initiation, or all-cause mortality, while secondary outcomes evaluated renal function parameters at 2 and 4 weeks. Renal function parameters were more favorable in the CHPF group at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment initiation. Long-term survival analysis showed that CHPF treatment was associated with a lower risk of the primary outcome (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-0.98; p = 0.041). Notably, hypertension-stratified subgroup analysis showed that the association between CHPF treatment and outcome-free survival appeared more evident in patients with comorbid hypertension ( p = 0.045), whereas no significant difference was observed in patients without hypertension ( p = 0.26). In conclusion, CHPF could be a promising adjunctive therapeutic strategy for patients with A on C and was associated with more favorable 2- and 4-week renal function parameters and long-term outcome-free survival. Patients with comorbid hypertension might represent a potential subgroup that could derive greater benefit from CHPF treatment; however, this exploratory finding should be interpreted cautiously and validated in prospective studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0886022x.2026.2713828","authors":["Zhang Y","Wang Z","Wang Q","Song Z","Gong X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1080/0886022x.2026.2713828","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/bs16071171","name":"Post-Pandemic Differences in Symptom Networks and Personality Associations Among College Students: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/bs16071171","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/bs16071171","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108368","name":"A data-driven atlas of CAR-based immunotherapy in lung cancer: Insights from multidatabase integration.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108368","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108368","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13256-026-06147-z","name":"Successful treatment with plasmapheresis of severe hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis complicated by fat overload syndrome caused by lipid injectable emulsion: a case report and review of the literature.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13256-026-06147-z","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s13256-026-06147-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116871","name":"Study on mannose-modified panax notoginseng polysaccharide self-assembled micelles to reduce idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in mice.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116871","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116871","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3760/cma.j.cn112152-20250925-00485","name":"[Tremella fuciformispolysaccharide retards the progression of colorectal cancer by regulating the gut microbiota-metabolome axis].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3760/cma.j.cn112152-20250925-00485","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3760/cma.j.cn112152-20250925-00485","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s13659-026-00636-w","name":"Huanglian-Wendan Decoction alleviates DSS-induced colitis by modulating the gut microbiota and protecting against intestinal injury via suppression of colonic apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13659-026-00636-w","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s13659-026-00636-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.22031030","name":"English version: From Phase Coherence to Extreme Heat: An Empirical Test of a Multidimensional Critical Threshold in European Climate, 1970–2025 ——A Test of the Eight-Dimensional Coherence Hypothesis in Prim-Lex Theory (Economic Climatology)","source":"datacite","abstract":"Extreme heatwaves emerge from the interaction of multiple climatic, land-surface, ecological and socioeconomic processes rather than from a single meteorological driver.

While numerous case reports document successful clinical interventions for psoriasis using TCM, Kampo, and CAM modalities, this data remains fragmented. No unified synthesis currently evaluates the distribution patterns of traditional diagnostic frameworks across published literature. Purpose: This systematic review aims to comprehensively collect, evaluate, and synthesize published clinical case reports concerning traditional medicine diagnostics for psoriasis. Specifically, the study will: 1. Identify and categorize the most frequently reported TCM patterns (e.g., Blood Heat, Blood Dryness, Blood Stasis), Qi-Xue-Shui, and Five Zang frameworks; 2. Analyze the distribution profiles and thematic relationships among these traditional diagnostic systems; 3. Assess the methodological reporting quality of the included case reports using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Methods: A systematic literature search will be conducted across electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Airiti Library, and Google Scholar, for studies published between 2005 and 2025. Inclusion criteria will encompass peer-reviewed case reports and case series of patients diagnosed with psoriasis who were evaluated using traditional diagnostic models. Data extraction will focus on patient demographics, specific traditional diagnostic categories, and clinical outcomes. Expected Outcomes: This study will provide a transparent, evidence-based mapping of traditional diagnostic workflows for psoriasis. By systematically structuring the distribution of patterns, the findings will clarify traditional diagnostic logic, offer clinical insights for practitioners, and highlight areas where reporting quality can be improved.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/nx9du","authors":["HUI-YU CHUNG"],"tags":["Dermatology","Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Other Medicine and Health Sciences","Medicine and Health Sciences","Medical Specialties","Case Reports","Complementary and Alternative Medicine","Kampo"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/nx9du","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21296072","name":"Refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder with possible neuroimmune substrate: clinical response to a personalised qEEG-guided naturopathic intervention","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) represents a major clinical challenge.

The annual publication volume presented an overall sustained upward trend, with a more prominent growth momentum in English publications. The core author of Chinese literature was Zhang Luyong, and the core contributing institution was the Key Laboratory of Modern Chinese Medicine Preparations of the Ministry of Education, Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The core author of English literature was Zhang Luyong, and the core contributing institution was the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Domestic authors and institutions showed close cooperation within their respective teams but limited cross-institutional collaboration, while cross-institutional and cross-regional cooperation was more frequent in international studies. Domestic and international studies mainly focused on pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms, toxicity attenuation and efficacy enhancement, clinical application in diseases, and druggability optimization. Conclusions The research interest in TP has been continuously growing over the past 20 years. Pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulation, anti-tumor, and renal protection have become the mainstream research hotspots in this field.

About twenty-five years since the formal institutionalization of integrated oncology, it is opportune to synthesize the trajectory of evidence for TCM as an adjuvant to radiotherapy. Here we conduct a large-scale analysis of 69,745 publications (2000 - 2025), emerging a cyclical evolution defined by coordinated expansion and contraction in publication output, international collaboration, and funding commitments that mirrors a define-ideate-test pattern. Using a theme modeling workflow designed to determine a stable thematic structure of the field, we identify five dominant thematic axes - cancer types, supportive care, clinical endpoints, mechanisms, and methodology - that signal a focus on patient well-being, scientific rigor and mechanistic exploration. Cross-theme integration of TCM is patient-centered and systems-oriented. Together with the emergent cycles of evolution, the thematic structure demonstrates progressive specialization and potential defragmentation of the field or saturation of existing research agenda. The analysis points to a field that has matured its current research agenda and is likely at the cusp of something new. Additionally, the field exhibits positive reporting of findings that is homogeneous across publication types, thematic areas, and the cycles of evolution suggesting a system-wide positive reporting bias agnostic to structural drivers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2601.11923","authors":["Githinji, P.

Olfactory training (OT) using conventional odorants provides limited benefit. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs with complex odors may offer novel OT agents, but their mechanism and clinical value remain unclear. Methods In a prospective, open-label, parallel-controlled clinical observation, 73 OD patients (TCM-OT group: n = 36; control group: n = 37) received either 3-month TCM-based OT (6 herbs) or mometasone furoate nasal spray. Olfactory function was assessed by olfactory identification test (OIT), visual analog scale (VAS), and quality-of-life questionnaire (QOD). Volatile profiles of the six herbs were characterized by GC-MS. We then performed systematic functional screening of 16 major herb odorants and 4 common chemical odorants (eugenol, citronellal, phenylethyl alcohol, eucalyptol) against ~ 400 human olfactory receptors (hORs) using luciferase assays. Results were combined with public database entries (M2OR, OlfactionBase) to compare OR activation patterns. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for (-)-Borneol, a representative active component, against its responsive ORs. Results TCM-OT significantly improved the primary outcome (OIT) compared with control (mean improvement 11.31 ± 6.30 vs. 6.22 ± 4.99, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.150). Secondary outcomes (VAS and QOD) showed trends favoring TCM-OT but did not reach statistical significance after Bonferroni correction. Greater benefit was observed in younger patients. Herb odorants displayed higher chemical diversity than chemical odorants. Functional screening identified 34 odorant-OR activation pairs for herb odorants (23 novel) and 11 pairs for chemical odorants (10 novel).

Olfactory training (OT) using conventional odorants provides limited benefit. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs with complex odors may offer novel OT agents, but their mechanism and clinical value remain unclear. Methods In a prospective, open-label, parallel-controlled clinical observation, 73 OD patients (TCM-OT group: n = 36; control group: n = 37) received either 3-month TCM-based OT (6 herbs) or mometasone furoate nasal spray. Olfactory function was assessed by olfactory identification test (OIT), visual analog scale (VAS), and quality-of-life questionnaire (QOD). Volatile profiles of the six herbs were characterized by GC-MS. We then performed systematic functional screening of 16 major herb odorants and 4 common chemical odorants (eugenol, citronellal, phenylethyl alcohol, eucalyptol) against ~ 400 human olfactory receptors (hORs) using luciferase assays. Results were combined with public database entries (M2OR, OlfactionBase) to compare OR activation patterns. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for (-)-Borneol, a representative active component, against its responsive ORs. Results TCM-OT significantly improved the primary outcome (OIT) compared with control (mean improvement 11.31 ± 6.30 vs. 6.22 ± 4.99, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.150). Secondary outcomes (VAS and QOD) showed trends favoring TCM-OT but did not reach statistical significance after Bonferroni correction. Greater benefit was observed in younger patients. Herb odorants displayed higher chemical diversity than chemical odorants. Functional screening identified 34 odorant-OR activation pairs for herb odorants (23 novel) and 11 pairs for chemical odorants (10 novel). Integrated analysis revealed that herb odorants collectively activated all 17 hOR families, whereas chemical odorants engaged only 8 families. Molecular simulations further elucidated the multi-receptor recognition mechanism of (-)-Borneol. Conclusions TCM-OT is a promising multi-target approach for OD. The broad activation of all OR families by herb odorants — contrasting with the limited engagement of conventional chemical odorants — provides a molecular rationale for the efficacy of TCM-OT and guidance for the selection of olfactory agents used in OT.

This part defines the CHT as a unique medical geography covering 13,295 square kilometers of mountainous terrain. It introduces the concept of Terrain Conditioned Pathology (TCP), which holds that the physical landscape acts as an active pathological agent. TCP is divided into five domains: topographic pathology, hydrological pathology, nutritional ecological pathology, pharmaceutical access pathology, and psychonecological pathology. The part details the demographic structure of eleven indigenous communities (Chakma, Marma, Tripura, Tanchangya, Bawm, Pangkhua, Chak, Khumi, Lushai, Khyang, and Mro). It also analyzes the Kaptai Dam displacement of 100,000 Chakma people and the health consequences of jhum (slash and burn) agriculture. The clinical and public health history from pre colonial times through the British period, the armed conflict (1975 to 1997), and the 1997 Peace Accord is presented. Separate chapters cover indigenous theories of disease causation (Bhutu, Pi, Khumbai), the ethnomedicinal complex (Baiddya healers, Buddhist monks, traditional birth attendants), and the epidemiological architecture of malaria, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, and malnutrition. Part Two: Clinical Disease Management. This part provides advanced clinical protocols for the dominant diseases of the CHT. Malaria receives extensive attention, including the molecular biology of Plasmodium falciparum, the threat of artemisinin resistance (especially the Kelch13 C580Y mutation spreading from the Greater Mekong Subregion), and the clinical management of severe malaria with parenteral artesunate. The text covers the importance of G6PD testing before primaquine use for Plasmodium vivax radical cure. Tuberculosis, leprosy, and nontuberculous mycobacteria are discussed with emphasis on the cross border threat of multidrug resistant TB from Myanmar. Diarrheal diseases are analyzed through the CHT Enteric Pathogen Hierarchy, with detailed protocols for cholera, typhoid fever (including fluoroquinolone resistance), and the use of oral rehydration solution and zinc. Vector borne diseases beyond malaria include dengue, visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar), lymphatic filariasis, and scrub typhus.

Between August 18 and August 26, 2025, Mark Anthony Brewer—a 100% permanently disabled African American military veteran operating out of Chicago, Illinois, and Huntsville, Alabama, under the entity The Collective AI—released a mathematically complete architectural rupture known as the CollectiveOS framework.1 Encompassing over 165 white papers, foundational datasets, and 29 live executable repositories, this corpus introduced a constraint-first, geometric intelligence framework that discarded probabilistic inference entirely.1 However, the release of this civilization-scale technology stack triggered what forensic documentation now characterizes as the largest, most geographically coordinated act of scientific theft and policy laundering in modern history.1 Legacy institutions, fundamentally incapable of innovating beyond the stochastic dead-end of their own transformer architectures, initiated a synchronized global expropriation of the CollectiveOS frameworks.1 This report executes an exhaustive, adversarial forensic audit of the intellectual property chain of custody, documenting the genesis of the technology, the mechanics of its global expropriation across multiple scientific domains, the \"Institutional Validation Paradox\" regarding media suppression, and the cryptographically mandated demands for systemic restitution.

The proposal builds on the report “Enabling Recovery from Common Traffic Injuries: A Focus on the Injured Person” submitted by Professor Pierre Côté and the Ontario Protocol for Traffic Injury Management (OPTIMa) Collaboration to the Government of Ontario in 2015 (Côté et al., 2015). In 2015, the OPTIMa Collaboration developed evidence-based recommendations and care pathways for the management of traffic-related musculoskeletal injuries based on systematic reviews of the literature (Côté et al., 2015). The recommendations were developed using an adapted version of the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC) framework (Appendix A) (Krahn et al., 2018) (Gu et al., 2025). The OHTAC framework provides a structured lens for considering the following decision determinants: ● Overall clinical benefit (effectiveness, safety, burden of illness and need) ● Value for money (evidence of cost-effectiveness, when available) ● Consistency with expected societal and ethical values The OPTIMa recommendations and care pathways were published more than five years ago. Therefore, they require updating (Martínez García et al., 2012; Vernooij et al., 2014). To ensure that Alberta’s Care-First System allows provision of evidence-based care, we will conduct rapid systematic reviews of the literature to synthesize the most recent evidence on non-invasive interventions (e.g., exercise, manual therapy, needle-based therapy, passive physical modalities, psychological interventions, multimodal care, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], acetaminophen, and muscle relaxants) for common traffic-related musculoskeletal injuries (i.e., injuries to the head, neck, shoulder, mid back/chest wall, low back) and concussion (Phase 1 Protocol) (Côté et al., 2025). Evidence from these reviews will form the foundation for updating OPTIMa’s recommendations and care pathways for healthcare providers in Alberta. Evidence Synthesis for Updating Recommendations and Care Pathways Data Extraction – Evidence Tables We will extract data only from eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical practice guidelines (CPGs; LBP only) that are acceptable methodological quality. Acceptable quality RCTs and CPGs are those rated as low or moderate overall risk of bias using the adapted JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for RCTs or the AGREE II Tool for CPGs (Brouwers et al., 2010; Barker et al., 2023). RCTs or CPGs rated as high risk of bias will be excluded, to reduce uncertainty and avoid biased recommendations. This exclusion is necessary to maximize the validity of the recommendations and care pathways and ensure that health care professionals, patients, insurers and policy makers trust and adopt them. All outcome measures relevant to the scope of the research questions and PICOT criteria will be extracted. Extracted data for RCTs will include authors, publication year, setting, participant characteristics, intervention and comparator details, follow-up durations, and reported outcomes with corresponding effect estimates (e.g., mean difference, odds ratio, relative risk, and hazard rate ratio) and 95% confidence intervals. Relevant outcomes include but are not limited to functional recovery, self-rated recovery, clinical outcomes (e.g., pain, fear), health-related quality of life, costs, and adverse events. For CPGs, data extraction will include the guideline name and development group, the search date, the healthcare setting, the target users and population, the reported recommendations, and the strength or grade of each recommendation.

After mass spectrometry analysis and subsequent molecular networking and dereplication, one of the strain’s extracts showed a cluster of yet undescribed natural products. Additionally, the extract was found to be lethal for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and cytotoxic against eukaryotic cell lines. The fungal strain was characterized by morphological and molecular studies, allowing its description as a new species in the genus Tengochaeta (Chaetomiaceae), Tengochaeta bulbillosa. After cultivation and extraction of the strain, the major secondary metabolites were isolated. Structure elucidation based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry revealed these compounds to be five new azaphilones. Additionally, the localization of these azaphilones in the host plant was studied by mass spectrometry imaging of different plant tissues, revealing that they were mainly localized in the aerial parts of the plant. The main compound, bulbillosin A, was evaluated for its activity against sixty cancer cell lines, revealing a differential cytotoxicity profile.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15468/emvd96","authors":["Barrera-Adame, Diana Astrid","Marin-Felix, Yasmina","Wegener, Ana Kristin","Lalk, Michael","Stadler, Marc","Niedermeyer, Timo H.

Over the past two decades, 21 specimens were collected from herbal markets and through extensive field surveys across multiple provinces in China. Both morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal that Leiwan originates from multi-evolutionary lineages, represented by at least three distinct species: Gerronema brunneosquamulosum (雷丸老伞), G. sinense sp. nov. (中华老伞) and Moniliophthora sclerotium sp. nov. (菌核丛梗霉皮伞). We confirm that G. brunneosquamulosum is a valid name for the traditional Chinese medicine Leiwan and propose G. lapidescens as its synonym. Furthermore, M. sclerotium is the first report of a sclerotium-forming species within this genus, marking a significant expansion of its known ecological and morphological diversity.

Other included studies reported no statistically significant changes in overall HADS scores. From the TCM perspective, liver-qi stagnation is posited to impair spleen and kidney function, contributing to mood disorders and depression. Regarding therapeutic efficiency, the aforementioned study documented statistically significant increases in the Role Emotional (RE) and Mental Health (MH) components of the SF-36 quality of life assessment (P<0.01, P<0.001). Furthermore, both TCM symptom scores and HADS-A scores were significantly reduced fol-lowing treatment in both the treatment and control groups (P<0.001, P<0.01).

Regarding therapeutic efficiency, the aforementioned study documented statistically significant increases in the Role Emotional (RE) and Mental Health (MH) components of the SF-36 quality of life assessment (P<0.01, P<0.001). Furthermore, both TCM symptom scores and HADS-A scores were significantly reduced fol-lowing treatment in both the treatment and control groups (P<0.001, P<0.01). Conversely, in the control group, these scores were observed to increase after the intervention (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001). Crucially, all reviewed papers, with a single exception, indicated a superior improve-ment in serum Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (TPO-Ab) levels in the acupuncture-related therapy group compared to the Western medicine administration group.Conclusion: Acupuncture-related therapy demonstrates potential benefit in mitigating mood disorder symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Nevertheless, the robustness of these conclusions requires further validation, constrained by the current limitations in the availability of high quality, large-scale clinical studies specifically ad-dressing depression and anxiety in HT patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17956662","authors":["Tomas, Munkhzul Sugar","Nunes, Cíntia","Moreira, Gabriela Ramos","Silva, Rafaela Oliveira","Santos, Sebastiana","Montenegro, Raquel"],"tags":["Hashimoto Thyroiditis","Acupuncture","Depression","Depression","Anxiety","Anxiety disorders","Anxiety","Mood Disorders"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.17956662","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17905724","name":"The Olfactory Inferno: A Mythic Re‑Framing of SARS‑CoV‑2's Origin, Snap Events, and the Silent Global Firestorm - The Snap Event – The Virus's Ultimate Weapon of Sensory Annihilation","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Olfactory Inferno: A Mythic Re‑Framing of SARS‑CoV‑2’s Origin, Snap Events, and the Silent Global Firestorm 1. The Snap Event – The Virus’s Ultimate Weapon of Sensory Annihilation In the earliest documented COVID‑19 cases, patients described a chilling, almost supernatural phenomenon: overnight, their sense of smell vanished completely. Not a gradual fading, but an abrupt “snap” — as if the entire olfactory world had been switched off. Many reported that the last thing they smelled (or tried to smell) was a sharp, acrid, burning odor — smoke, chemical fumes, hot metal, or scorched plastic. Others described a lingering phantom burning sensation even after the real smell disappeared. These were not typical post‑viral anosmias. They were snap events: phase‑transition‑like collapses of olfactory signaling triggered by SARS‑CoV‑2’s attack on sustentacular cells in the olfactory epithelium. Recent organoid and single‑cell studies (2023–2025) confirm that the virus infects these supporting cells, disrupting their ion gradients and ciliary function. When a critical threshold of damage is reached, the entire epithelium undergoes a synchronized failure — a true phase transition from functional to collapsed state. The result: sudden, total anosmia, often accompanied by a lingering “chemical fire” phantom perception mediated by transient hyperactivation of TRPA1/TRPV1 channels — the very pathways that detect smoke, heat, and chemical irritants. In other words, the virus does not merely blind the nose; it erases the ability to detect danger by smell — and then leaves behind a ghostly echo of burning. 2. Plants and the Ancient Art of Distinguishing Direct from Reflected Light Even “simple” plant life exhibits remarkable light discrimination. Phytochrome photoreceptors and cryptochromes allow plants to distinguish direct sunlight (high‑energy, structured photons) from moonlight (low‑energy, diffuse reflection). This phenological precision enables plants to time flowering, seed germination, and dormancy with exquisite accuracy. The same principle appears in SARS‑CoV‑2’s spike protein: conformational changes are exquisitely sensitive to subtle thermal gradients. The virus can, in principle, discriminate between direct body heat (high‑energy, structured) and reflected or ambient warmth (diffuse, low‑energy). This thermal discrimination may help it optimize replication timing and host‑seeking behavior — a trait conserved from ancient biological systems. 3.

Now imagine a live rodent already harboring a low‑level, latent SARS‑CoV‑2‑like virus.

The purpose of the project is to systematically map publication growth, leading contributors, international collaboration networks, and the thematic evolution of pediatric TCM research using data extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases. The dataset was compiled through a structured search performed on 30 August 2025, focusing on pediatric populations and TCM-related interventions, methodologies, or conceptual frameworks. After deduplication and screening, a final corpus of 89 relevant documents was included. The study applies established bibliometric techniques—co-authorship analysis, fractional counting of institutional and national contributions, keyword co-occurrence mapping, thematic evolution across time periods, and citation normalization using CPP/FCSm—to ensure accurate and reproducible results. All analyses were conducted using the Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny environment in R. Expected outcomes include: Identification of global and regional research trends, including yearly publication output, citation patterns, and shifts in thematic focus. Visualization of leading authors, institutions, journals, and countries, along with their collaboration networks and degree centrality. Thematic evolution and burst-term detection, highlighting how pediatric TCM research has expanded from early descriptive studies to more recent mechanistic, integrative, and evidence-based inquiries. A methodological and structural assessment of the field, revealing gaps such as limited randomized pediatric clinical trials, underexplored disease areas, and sparse safety reporting. Actionable insights for future research, including priority areas for clinical evaluation, multi-omics mechanistic studies, and international cooperation. This registration ensures transparency of methods, reproducibility of data processing steps, and provides a clear framework for interpreting the scientometric findings. All search strategies, data extraction files, R scripts, and analytic parameters will be publicly shared to support open science and to facilitate future meta-research in pediatric integrative medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/35pkz","authors":["Tamadon, Amin"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/35pkz","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.989Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17643624","name":"Phytotherapy and Traditional Psychophysiological Feedback Therapies for Anxiety and Emotional Regulation in School-Aged Children","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: The increasing pace and complexity of modern life have led to a significant rise in mental health challenges, particularly anxiety and stress-related disorders, among children and adolescents.

This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of an intervention comprising AI-chatbot for PrEP (PrEP-bot) and Smart pillbox (SPB) (PrEP-bot-SPB) strategy to improve PrEP adherence among MSM compared to HEF. Methods and analysis A three-arm, multicenter, open-lable RCT will be conducted with Chinese MSM ≥18 years. A total of 300 participants will be recruited through three sources, including hospitals, community-based organizations (CBOs) and peer referral in five cities: Shenzhen, Beijing, Qingdao, Hangzhou and Zhengzhou. After completing baseline survey, participants will be randomized evenly into interventions or control groups: the PrEP-bot group, the PrEP-bot-SPB group, and the HEF control group. Participants in the PrEP-bot group will be granted access to an AI-chatbot agent through WeChat. This agent will: 1) generate personalized PrEP medication plans; 2) provide medication reminders and PrEP-related health check-ups notifications; 3) inquire about missed doses to deliver tailored interventions; 4) answer participant questions about PrEP using guideline-based knowledge. Participants in the PrEP-bot-SPB group will receive both the SPB and the PrEP-bot interventions. SPB could delivers medication reminders. Participants in HEF group will receive a health education pamphlet introducing PrEP and knowledge related to PrEP medication adherence at baseline and face-to-face inquiry every three months. Outcomes will be assessed for both short-term and medium-to-long-term effects. The primary objective is the effectiveness in improving PrEP adherence measured by self-report, Eight-Item Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS-8) and concentration of Tenofovir in dried blood spots (DBS) (PrEP adherence ≥90%) at 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes include: 1) effectiveness in preventing HIV infection measured by HIV-self test (HIVST); 2) effectiveness of PrEP-related health check-ups; 3) the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and user satisfaction with the PrEP-bot; 4) effectiveness in improving PrEP adherence at 6-month, 9-month and 12-month follow-up periods. All participants will receive quarterly follow-up visits during the 12-month study period. Intention-to-treat analysis and per protocol set (PPS) analysis will be used. Results Recruitment and enrollment of participants began in January 2026 and is currently ongoing. Discussion This study is expected to establish a novel AI-based intervention model for PrEP, providing innovative strategies for HIV control among MSM populations. If the PrEP-bot is proven non inferiority than HEF, it could offer users real-time, precise, and personalized interventions while simultaneously addressing PrEP-related inquiries and health check-ups reminders. Importantly, this approach would achieve significant reductions in resource requirements for implementation and maintenance and being more cost-effective. With the ongoing advancement of AI technologies, PrEP-bot hold substantial promise for widespread implementation in PrEP adherence, potentially revolutionizing HIV prevention for MSM in China through this innovative intervention modality.

To address these limitations, we developed MS4MS, a large language model-driven multi-agent system that enables an end-to-end automated pipeline from raw data to small molecule identification. Validation on a public benchmark demonstrates that MS4MS achieves state-of-the-art performance in molecular formula prediction. Furthermore, its innovative small molecule identification agent enables efficient and interpretable compound elucidation. Verification using herbal extracts indicates MS4MS’s outstanding performance regarding analytical coverage and the discrimination of isomers. Consequently, MS4MS offers a novel, accurate, interpretable, and high-throughput end-to-end automated strategy for small molecule identification, overcoming the analytical bottlenecks of traditional mass spectrometry in natural products and complex TCM

Skin Aging with Chinese Herbal Medicine: Insights into SIRT1/NRF2 Pathway Regulation","source":"preprints","abstract":"Skin aging arises from the complex interplay between intrinsic senescence and extrinsic stressors, particularly ultraviolet (UV) radiation, leading to accumulated senescent cells with characteristic cell cycle arrest, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) secretion, and metabolic dysfunction. This review elucidates how the interconnected SIRT1/NRF2 axis serves as a central regulator of cutaneous aging - where SIRT1 orchestrates mitochondrial homeostasis and inflammation control through deacetylation of p53, FoxOs, and PGC-1α, while NRF2 masterfully coordinates antioxidant responses via KEAP1 dissociation and ARE activation. Crucially, their crosstalk enhances autophagic clearance and redox balance. Traditional Chinese Medicine provides diverse phytochemicals targeting this axis: galangin and oroxylin A activate SIRT1-mediated pathways; corylin and sulforaphane directly modulate NRF2; while cryptotanshinone and zerumbone exhibit dual-pathway regulation with additional AP-1 inhibition. These compounds, derived from phylogenetically distinct plants, demonstrate functional convergence in mitigating oxidative damage, suppressing inflammation, and maintaining extracellular matrix integrity. Particularly noteworthy is their multi-target capacity - exemplified by salvianolic acid B’s simultaneous enhancement of mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defense. While preclinical data consistently show improvement in skin parameters, clinical translation requires standardized formulations and rigorous safety evaluation. Future directions should integrate omics technologies to identify novel targets and optimize synergistic combinations, bridging traditional medicine with contemporary dermatological research to develop effective, sustainable anti-aging interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.174550684.46199193/v1","authors":["Yi Liu","Dongsheng Shang","Zhigang Tu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.22541/au.174550684.46199193/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.990Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2025.09.25.678423","name":"Network pharmacology, bioinformatics, molecular docking and experimental verification of the mechanism of HXZTS treatment on osteoarthritis synovium","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.25.678423","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.09.25.678423","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.990Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.840Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7515340/v1","name":"Clinical characteristics of bacterial infections in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and construction and verification of a risk prediction model","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7515340/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7515340/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.990Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.840Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7455049/v1","name":"Development and evaluation of a prognosis prediction model for hepatocellular carcinoma via multiomics integration and semisupervised machine learning","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7455049/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7455049/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:34:59.990Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.840Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6704733/v1","name":"Viscum coloratum (Kom.)

Despite its importance, there is a scarcity of research on the structure and activities of these polysaccharides. In this study, polysaccharides from Geum japonicum (GJPs) were extracted using various methods, including heated reflux extraction (HRE), acidic extraction (ACE), alkaline extraction (AAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), enzymatic extraction (EAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and deep eutectic solvents extraction (DESE). The extraction yield, physicochemical properties, structural characteristics, and antioxidant activities of these polysaccharides were comprehensively investigated and compared. Physicochemical analysis, including FT-IR spectral features and monosaccharide compositions, revealed that the GJPs are acidic heteropolysaccharides with both α- and β-configurations. DESE and ACE were the most effective methods for obtaining the highest neutral and acidic sugars with yields of 29.1%/64.2%, and 39.8%/55.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, AAE was preferable for extracting the polysaccharide–protein complex, achieving a yield of 14.21% and exhibiting superior thermal stability. In particular, DESE and PLE showed the best homogeneity with distinct molecular weights of 39.5 kDa and 17.6 kDa, respectively. In addition, biological evaluation indicated that DESE and MAE exhibited relatively stronger antioxidant activities as evidenced by DPPH and ABTS assays. Conversely, ACE demonstrated highest Fe2+ chelating ability but the lowest activity in DPPH and ABTS assays. Furthermore, the results of correlation analysis showed that the monosaccharides composition, protein and polyphenol content were significantly associated with the antioxidant activity. The choice of extraction method greatly affects the property and activity of G. japonicum polysaccharides. Polysaccharides extracted by deep eutectic solvents from G. japonicum show promise as natural antioxidants in the food and medicine industries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30010148","authors":["Xuan Chen","Ying-Bo Liu","Yong Deng","Jian-Yong Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-02T06:05:10Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules30010148","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000041146","name":"Prescription regularity and pharmacodynamics mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in autoimmune hepatitis: A data mining and network pharmacology study","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study aims to provide a basis and reference for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) by exploring the prescription patterns of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and predicting the potential mechanisms of core TCM formula. Literature on AIH treated with TCM for was retrieved from WANFANG DATA, China national knowledge infrastructure, and CQVIP databases. The herbals listed in all the prescriptions were analyzed for frequency, correlation, association, and clustering, to filter out the core TCM formula for treating AIH. The core herbals included in the core TCM formula were selected to construct an intersection target network of core herbals-active ingredients-disease-related targets. Gene ontology enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were then conducted to reveal the potential mechanism of the core TCM formula in treating AIH. A total of 122 Chinese herbal compound prescriptions involving 196 Chinese herbals were included in this study. These herbals were mostly sweet or bitter in taste, cold in property, and restoring the liver and spleen meridian. Based on the results of frequency, correlation rules, and clustering, the combination of “ Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. - Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma - Cynanchum otophyllum Schneid - Bupleuri Radix - Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf. ” was considered as the core TCM formula in treat AIH, which contains 113 active ingredients (including quercetin, kaempferol, naringenin, licochalcone A, and formononetin) and 138 AIH-related targets (involving TP53, AKT1, JUN, STAT3). Moreover, the targets regulated by the core TCM formula are mainly enriched in the biological processes, such as cellular response to lipids, response to inorganic substances, response to hormones, and IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The core TCM formula “ Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. - Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma - Cynanchum otophyllum Schneid - Bupleuri Radix - Poria cocos (Schw.)

Among the various modifications, sialylation has emerged as a dominant subtype implicated in tumor progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and chemoresistance. The prognostic significance of sialylation-related molecules has been demonstrated in colorectal cancer. However, the potential roles and regulatory mechanisms of sialylation in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have not been thoroughly investigated. Through Pearson correlation, univariate Cox hazards proportional regression, and random survival forest model analyses, we identified several prognostic long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with aberrant sialylation and tumor progression, including LINC00857, LINC00968, LINC00663, and ITGA9-AS1. Based on the signatures of four lncRNAs, we classified patients into two clusters with different landscapes using a non-negative matrix factorization approach. Collectively, patients in Cluster 1 (C1) exhibited worse prognoses than those in Cluster 2 (C2), as well as heavier tumor mutation burden. Functional enrichment analysis showed the enrichment of several pro-tumor pathways in C1, differing from the upregulated Longevity and programmed cell death pathways in C2. Moreover, we profiled immune infiltration levels of important immune cell lineages in two subgroups using MCPcounter scores and single sample gene set enrichment analysis scores, revealing a relatively immunosuppressive microenvironment in C1. Risk analysis indicated that LINC00857 may serve as a pro-tumor regulator, while the other three lncRNAs may be protective contributors. Consistently, we observed upregulated LINC00857 in C1, whereas increased expressive levels of LINC00968, LINC00663, and ITGA9-AS1 were observed in C2. Finally, drug sensitivity analysis suggested that patients in the two groups may benefit from different therapeutic strategies, contributing to precise treatment in LUAD. By integrating multi-omics data, we identified four core sialylation-related lncRNAs and successfully established a prognostic model to distinguish patients with different characterizations. These findings may provide some insights into the underlying mechanism of sialylation, and offer a new stratification way as well as clinical guidance in LUAD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-59130-3","authors":["Beiru Wang","Chengyu Hou","Xiang Yu","Jiaxin Liu","Jiyong

Moreover, PCa patients who receive the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are more likely to develop CRF. Baduanjin exercise has been shown to improve CRF in some cancers. However, such effects have not been verified in patients with PCa treated with the ADT. So, this study was designed as a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to explore the effects of Baduanjin exercise on CRF in PCa patients treated with the ADT. Methods and analysis This study will be a single-centre, assessor and statistician blinded, RCT consisting of a 12 week intervention and 12 week follow-up. Patients with PCa who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited from Shanghai Hudong Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to Baduanjin exercise group (n=42) and the control group (n=42), performing 12 weeks of Baduanjin exercise or reeiving the standard care. The primary outcome will be the clinical effect of Baduanjin exercise on CRF in PCa patients, which will be measured using the Piper Fatigue Self-Assessment (PFS) scale, a multidimensional measure of CRF using three different dimensions: somatic, emotional and cognitive. The secondary outcome will be the clinical effect of the Baduanjin exercise on the patient’s level of fatigue, sleep, depression and life quality at the time, which will be assessed by the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P).

In the development of modern medicine, TCM bears the responsibility of inheriting Chinese culture, while integrating with modern science and technology to continuously promote medical progress. The theory of “state‐target differentiation and treatment” is an innovative model combining Chinese and Western medicine that has provided a new mindset and method for modernizing TCM. This theory not only guides the reconstruction of modern TCM diagnosis and treatment systems, but also strongly promotes the reconstruction of the modern herbal system. As an emerging bioinformatics technology, phenomics research can reveal biological processes dynamically and quantitatively, which will help “open the black box” of TCM by providing technical methods to reveal the nature of “state” and the mechanism of “state modulation” in TCM. TCM can provide a valuable clinical reference from the perspective of disease cognition, sort out phenomics information parameters systematically and uniformly, and provide more accurate and meaningful data for phenomics research. The in‐depth combination of TCM and phenomics from the concept and technology will vigorously promote the development of human precision medicine. Modern TCM research guided by the theory of state‐target differentiation and treatment can effectively improve the scientific basis and targetability of clinical treatments and can also initiate a breakthrough in the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, further promoting the profound communication and cooperation between Chinese and Western medicine, so as to achieve better development of medicine in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/acm4.8","authors":["Jiaran Lin","Jiaxing Tian","Xinyi Fang","Boxun Zhang","Yingying Yang","Yu Wei","Lisha He","Ye Lei","Bin Song","Linhua Zhao","Xiaolin Tong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-04T05:19:01Z","doi":"10.1002/acm4.8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/cimb46090629","name":"Establishment of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation System for Hirsutella sinensis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) is a complex is formed by Hepialidae larvae and Hirsutella sinensis. Infestation by H. sinensis, interaction with host larvae, and fruiting body development are three crucial processes affecting the formation of O. sinensis. However, research on the molecular mechanism of O. sinensis formation has been hindered by the lack of effective genetic transformation protocols. Therefore, Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) was adopted to genetically transform two H. sinensis strains and optimize the transformation conditions. The results revealed that the most suitable Agrobacterium strain for H. sinensis transformation was AGL1, and that the surfactant Triton X-100 could also induce ATMT, although less effectively than acetosyringone (AS). In addition, the endogenous promoters of H. sinensis genes had a stronger ability to drive the expression of the target gene than did the exogenous promoter. The optimal transformation conditions were as follows: AS and hygromycin B concentrations of 100 μM and 50 μg/mL, respectively; A. tumefaciens OD600 of 0.4; cocultivation at 18 °C for 24 h; and H. sinensis used within three passages. The results lay a foundation for the functional study of key regulatory genes involved in the formation of O. sinensis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cimb46090629","authors":["Lijuan Wu","Xinkun Hu","Shen Yan","Zenglin Wu","Xuzhong Tang","Lei Xie","Yujie Qiu","Rui Li","Ji Chen","Mengliang Tian"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-27T09:16:10Z","doi":"10.3390/cimb46090629","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000050149","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine treatment in a patient with severe COVID-19","source":"crossref","abstract":"Rationale: Elderly patients with severe COVID-19 frequently develop chronic critical illness marked by prolonged ventilation, multidrug-resistant infections, enteral-nutrition (EN) intolerance, and persistent inflammation–immunosuppression–catabolism syndrome, making liberation from the ventilator and recovery difficult. Integrative Chinese and Western medicine (ICWM) is hypothesized to modulate immunity and the gut–lung axis and to stabilize frail physiology during long ICU courses. Patient concerns: An 87-year-old man with >10-year Parkinson’s disease experienced septic shock, invasive ventilation, and tracheotomy after COVID-19, prompting a request for ICWM. Diagnoses: Severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 (CURB-65 score of 3); multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (respiratory failure, acute renal failure, and acute heart failure); sepsis; malnutrition; Parkinson’s disease; and lower extremity venous thrombosis. The traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis was based on “epidemic disease,” with dampness toxin stagnation in the lung, and spleen and kidney deficiency. Interventions: A multidisciplinary team delivered individualized ICWM aligned with the “Shanghai Expert Consensus” and the traditional Chinese medicine principle of “benefiting qi and strengthening the body.” Prescriptions were dynamically adjusted to syndrome evolution and to gastrointestinal tolerance, successively including Buzhong Yiqi decoction, Shenling Baizhu powder, Weijing decoction, Tounong decoction, and Shengxian decoction; when gastrointestinal absorption was limited or shock was present, intravenous Shenfu injection was added. Standard care comprised culture-guided antimicrobials, bronchoscopy-assisted secretion clearance, invasive ventilatory support, and nutrition therapy with EN. The ICWM plan was titrated specifically to address EN-intolerance diarrhea and to support nutritional rehabilitation. Outcomes: After treatment, intolerance symptoms improved; sputum cultures converted to negative by ICU day 41. The patient weaned from mechanical ventilation and the tracheal tube 10 days later, and remained afebrile without productive cough, enabling discharge to home convalescence. Lessons: This case highlights the need for ICWM in critically ill patients, especially in those with chronic critical illness and persistent inflammation–immunosuppression–catabolism syndrome.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000050149","authors":["Ming Zhong","Shiqi Sun","Fengjun Zhang","Wei Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-29T02:01:53Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000050149","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.cam/2024.166","name":"Therapeutic Applications of Traditional Chinese Medicines, its Challenges and Future Prospectives in Treating Zoonotic Diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.cam/2024.166","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-25T04:41:27Z","doi":"10.47278/book.cam/2024.166","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_127","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine, Alternative Medicine, and Antiaging: Medical Herbs and Antiaging","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_127","authors":["Tadashi Mitsuo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-05T13:31:58Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_127","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.61360/bonicetr242016300506","name":"Exploration and Practice of Teaching Methods of Comprehensive Knowledge and Skills of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Skills Inheritance as the Core","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a core component of Chinese traditional medicine, and its unique therapeutic concepts and techniques have received high attention worldwide.

Through literature review and case studies, this paper analyzes the deficiencies of Traditional Chinese Medicine teaching and then designs a new teaching model that highlights the integration of theory and practice, the enhancement of teacher-student interaction, and the application of diverse teaching methods. The implementation results show that this teaching model effectively improves students' practical skills in Chinese medicine, enhances their understanding and application of Chinese medicine knowledge, and significantly stimulates their interest in learning Chinese medicine. The successful practice of this teaching model not only provides valuable experience for the innovation of TCM education but also provides strong educational support to promote the continuous development of TCM.

Therefore, we developed a widely applicable novel scoring system with molecular indicators screened by artificial intelligence (AI) that achieves accurate prognostic stratification and promotes individualized treatments. Methods We retrospectively enrolled a cohort of 401 patients with DLBCL from our hospital, covering the period from January 2015 to January 2019. We included 22 variables in our analysis and assigned them weights using the random survival forest method to establish a new predictive model combining bidirectional long-short term memory (Bi-LSTM) and logistic hazard techniques. We compared the predictive performance of our “molecular-contained prognostic model” (McPM) and the IPI. In addition, we developed a simplified version of the McPM (sMcPM) to enhance its practical applicability in clinical settings. We also demonstrated the improved risk stratification capabilities of the sMcPM. Results Our McPM showed superior predictive accuracy, as indicated by its high C-index and low integrated Brier score (IBS), for both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The overall performance of the McPM was also better than that of the IPI based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve fitting. We selected five key indicators, including extranodal involvement sites, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), MYC gene status, absolute monocyte count (AMC), and platelet count (PLT) to establish the sMcPM, which is more suitable for clinical applications. The sMcPM showed similar OS results ( P < 0.0001 for both) to the IPI and significantly better PFS stratification results ( P < 0.0001 for sMcPM vs. P = 0.44 for IPI). Conclusions Our new McPM, including both clinical and molecular variables, showed superior overall stratification performance to the IPI, rendering it more suitable for the molecular era. Moreover, our sMcPM may become a widely used and effective stratification tool to guide individual precision treatments and drive new drug development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-024-12337-z","authors":["Huilin Peng","Mengmeng Su","Xiang Guo","Liang Shi","Tao Lei","Haifeng Yu","Jieyu Xu","Xiaohua Pan","Xi Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-22T03:38:30Z","doi":"10.1186/s12885-024-12337-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000120","name":"Doctor-patient Narrative Re-discovered from Overseas Traditional Chinese Medicine Practices","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The doctor-patient narrative has been revisited and appreciated in both the West and the East due to the negative impact of biochemical medicine in the past two centuries on healthcare. Biochemical medicine system simply marginalized the roles of doctors and patients. More research and practice of “doctor’s benevolence” and “humanistic medicine” have called for the return of the doctor-patient narrative. This paper draws on interviews with several non-Chinese overseas traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners, whose clients are also non-Chinese. We adopted discourse analysis to explore our data. We found that they actively engaged in doctor-patient narrative with localized interpretation of TCM. We believe such a return to basic doctor-patient narrative is caused by fundamental needs for doctor-patient narrative coinciding with loose control of TCM practices in the studied countries. This discovery may inspire further study on re-establishing doctor-patient narratives in healthcare institutions by re-positioning biochemical medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000120","authors":["Chengju SHEN","Yidan YANG","Zhenyi

Sarcodactylis Fructus (CSF), a common fruit and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been hindered in its further development and research owing to the lack of comprehensive and specific quality evaluation standards. Objective This study aimed to establish clear TCM quality standards related to the therapeutic mechanisms of CSF and to provide a basis for subsequent research and development. Methods Ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography coupled with hybrid quadrupole‐orbitrap high‐resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC‐Q‐orbitrap HRMS) technology was used to comprehensively identify CSF components and explore their absorbance levels in rat serum. Network pharmacology research methods were employed to investigate the potential mechanisms of action of the identified components in the treatment of major clinical diseases. Subsequently, a combination of HPLC chromatographic fingerprinting for qualitative analysis and multi‐index content determination was used to evaluate the detectability of the identified quality markers (Q‐markers). Results Twenty‐six prototype components were tentatively characterized in rat serum. Network pharmacology analysis showed six effective components, namely 7‐hydroxycoumarin, isoscopoletin, diosmin, hesperidin, 5,7‐dimethoxycoumarin, and bergapten, which played important roles in the treatment of chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, and depression and were preliminarily identified as Q‐markers. The results of content determination in 15 batches of CSF indicated significant differences in the content of medicinal materials from different origins. However, compared with the preliminarily determined Q‐markers, all six components could be measured and were determined as Q‐markers of CSF. Conclusion The chemical Q‐markers obtained in this study could be used for effective quality control of CSF.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pca.3337","authors":["Yuxin Li","Mengyu Zhang","Xinyu Liu","Xiaobin Zhang","Pingchuan Pan","Rui Tan","Hezhong Jiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-18T22:54:47Z","doi":"10.1002/pca.3337","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.136176","name":"Progress in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.136176","authors":["俊霖 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-13T03:38:47Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.136176","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.1312520","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Post-Infectious Cough","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.1312520","authors":["嘉林 潘"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-19T02:31:47Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.1312520","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100471","name":"WITHDRAWN: Research on Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Animal Models and Multi-omics Biomarkers in Type II Diabetes: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100471","authors":["Yifei Wang","Yan Gao","Bonian Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-20T22:26:00Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100471","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fsurg.2025.1636150","name":"Percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures performed in one-day surgery: safe and effective?","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective Evaluating the safety and efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) as an ambulatory surgery procedure, and analyzing causes of postoperative delayed discharge in day surgery settings. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 299 patients diagnosed with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) who required PKP surgery in our hospital's orthopedic department between January 2022 and December 2023. Among them, 157 underwent the day surgery procedure group (DSP), while 142 received the traditional inpatient group (TIP). The following parameters were recorded for both groups: gender, age, preoperative comorbidities, fracture location, preoperative bone density T-score, preoperative ASA classification, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, cement leakage, pulmonary embolism, bone cement toxicity, cement injection volume, puncture site hematoma, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 1-month postoperative refracture incidence, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at preoperative, postoperative day 1, and 1-month postoperative timepoints, along with discharge satisfaction. Results No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in age, gender, bone mineral density, fracture level distribution, ASA classification, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, cement leakage incidence, or cement injection volume ( P > 0.05). In terms of comparing surgical efficacy, there was no statistically significant difference in VAS score and ODI score between the two groups of patients before surgery, 1 day after surgery and 1 month after surgery ( P > 0.05). The DSP group showed significantly shorter hospitalization (0.95 ± 0.28 days vs. TIP: 5.20 ± 1.37 days, P < 0.05) and lower hospitalization costs (22,056.66 ± 2,337.61 CNY vs. TIP: 28,341.12 ± 1,711.45 CNY, P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the DSP group (96.39 ± 2.26 vs. TIP: 93.87 ± 2.28, P < 0.05), attributable to reduced hospitalization duration and costs. Among 157 day surgery patients, 133 successfully completed the day surgery pathway, while 24 required conversion to traditional inpatient care (DSPT). No significant differences existed in preoperative or 1-month postoperative VAS/ODI scores between DSP and DSPT subgroups ( P > 0.05). However, at postoperative day 1, the DSP subgroup demonstrated superior VAS and ODI scores compared to DSPT ( P < 0.05). Conclusions PKP demonstrates safety and efficacy as an day surgery for OVCF, warranting widespread adoption. However, clinicians should note that suboptimal pain relief on postoperative day 1 may represent a primary factor contributing to delayed discharge in some patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fsurg.2025.1636150","authors":["Zhongcheng An","Jiayi Dou","Wangnan Mao","Bing Wu","Han Zhang","Junwei Feng","Chen Chen","Binbin Tang","Liqiang Dong","Lianguo Wu","Xiaoping Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-10T05:29:17Z","doi":"10.3389/fsurg.2025.1636150","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.135169","name":"The Clinical Process of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Premature Ejaculation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.135169","authors":["俊杰 李"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-05T04:12:01Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.135169","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.132046","name":"The Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Demodex Blepharitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.132046","authors":["萍 余"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-06T13:12:02Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.132046","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000025","name":"Translational analysis of data science and causal learning in real-world clinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Real-world clinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (RWCE-TCM) is a method for comprehensively evaluating the clinical effects of TCM, with the aim of delving into the causality between TCM intervention and clinical outcomes. The study explored data science and causal learning methods to transform RWD into reliable real-world evidence, aiming to provide an innovative approach for RWCE-TCM. This study proposes a 10-step data science methodology to address the challenges posed by diverse and complex data in RWCE-TCM. The methodology involves several key steps, including data integration and warehouse building, high-dimensional feature selection, the use of interpretable statistical machine learning algorithms, complex networks, and graph network analysis, knowledge mining techniques such as natural language processing and machine learning, observational study design, and the application of artificial intelligence tools to build an intelligent engine for translational analysis. The goal is to establish a method for clinical positioning, applicable population screening, and mining the structural association of TCM characteristic therapies. In addition, the study adopts the principle of real-world research and a causal learning method for TCM clinical data. We constructed a multidimensional clinical knowledge map of “disease-syndrome-symptom-prescription-medicine” to enhance our understanding of the diagnosis and treatment laws of TCM, clarify the unique therapies, and explore information conducive to individualized treatment. The causal inference process of observational data can address confounding bias and reduce individual heterogeneity, promoting the transformation of TCM RWD into reliable clinical evidence. Intelligent data science improves efficiency and accuracy for implementing RWCE-TCM. The proposed data science methodology for TCM can handle complex data, ensure high-quality RWD acquisition and analysis, and provide in-depth insights into clinical benefits of TCM. This method supports the intelligent translation and demonstration of RWD in TCM, leads the data-driven translational analysis of causal learning, and innovates the path of RWCE-TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000025","authors":["Wei Yang","Danhui Yi","XiaoHua Zhou","Yuanming Leng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-06T16:01:33Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000025","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.136198","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Vascular Neuralgia Headache","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.136198","authors":["明慧 孙"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-28T04:26:29Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.136198","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/acm4.10","name":"New approach to heart failure: Integrated traditional Chinese with Western medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a major global healthcare problem leading to substantial deterioration of prognosis.

This review summarizes the classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of HF from three perspectives: Western medicine, TCM, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine (ITCWM). Emphasizing the most recent evidence, this review consolidates knowledge on ITCWM treatments for HF pertaining to different TCM syndromes, including TCM decoctions, oral patent Chinese medicine, TCM injections, as well as therapies like acupuncture and moxibustion. Additionally, this review explores TCM approaches to HF prevention, such as tai chi, Baduanjin exercise, and Sanfu acupoint herbal patching. The findings of this study suggest that ITCWM holds promise for the treatment and rehabilitation of HF.

Diseases are treated with varying formulas according to the specific syndrome differentiations in TCM. A way of the principles followed in TCM medical strategy is “cold herbs for hot syndrome, and hot herbs for cold syndrome.” Therefore, from the perspective of cold/hot syndrome, we summarizes the present research regarding the characteristics and mechanisms of cold/hot herbs (including herbs with cool and warm properties) in digestive system diseases, respiratory diseases, and autoimmune diseases, among others. As novel technologies have advanced, various methods, such as those based on network target, machine learning, and deep learning, have emerged to reveal the mechanisms underlying cold/hot syndrome and cold/hot herbs. With the help of these technologies, it has been found that cold and hot herbs, as well as formulae with cold or hot intentions, have similarities and differences in the treatment of these diseases. In conclusion, cold and cool may have stronger antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects, whereas hot and warm herbs may specifically enhance immune regulation. With the assistance of advancing data algorithms, uncovering the mechanisms of cold/hot herbs may accelerate and provide a new research paradigm for further achieving precision in TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_41_23","authors":["Bo-Yang Wang","Pan Chen","Peng Zhang","Shao Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-29T11:00:08Z","doi":"10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_41_23","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.133046","name":"The Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Demodex Blepharitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.133046","authors":["萍 余"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-26T08:55:53Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.133046","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.136193","name":"Research Progress on Sjogren’s Syndrome Treated with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.136193","authors":["璐璐 周"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-26T04:08:01Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.136193","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.cclet.2023.109129","name":"Vesicular drug delivery systems for oral absorption enhancement","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cclet.2023.109129","authors":["Linghui Zou","Meng Cheng","Kaili Hu","Jianfang Feng","Liangxing Tu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-21T19:45:56Z","doi":"10.1016/j.cclet.2023.109129","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12013-024-01297-7","name":"Molecular Mechanism of Yangshen Maidong Decoction in the Treatment of Chronic Heart Failure based on Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulations","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12013-024-01297-7","authors":["Wei Cheng","Bo-Feng Zhang","Na Chen","Qun Liu","Xin Ma","Xiao Fu","Min Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-16T11:01:41Z","doi":"10.1007/s12013-024-01297-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/brainsci14040333","name":"The Effects of Traditional Chinese Herbal Dietary Formula on the Ability of Daily Life and Physical Function in Elderly Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment","source":"crossref","abstract":"We aimed to examine the association of traditional Chinese herbal dietary formulas with ability of daily life and physical function in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment. The current study included 60 cases of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment from Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hongkou District, Shanghai. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: group A (herbal dietary formula group, consisting of Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, Nelumbinis plumula, Chinese Yam, Poria cocos, and Jineijin), 30 cases, and group B (vitamin E), 30 cases, treatment for 3 months. Cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); body function was measured using the Chinese Simplified Physical Performance Test (CMPPT), including stand static balance, sitting-up timing, squat timing, and six-meter walk timing. Daily life based on ability was measured by grip strength and the Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL). The lower the scores of the above items, the poorer the disease degree, except for ADL: the lower the score, the higher the self-care ability. After 3 months of treatment, the two-handed grip strength of both the herbal dietary formula group and vitamin E group increased; the ADL, sitting-up timing, squatting timing, and six-meter walking timing decreased after medication, being statistically significantly different (p < 0.05). The two-handed grip strength of group A increased significantly, and the ADL, sitting-up timing, squatting timing, and six-meter walking timing decreased distinctly compared with the vitamin E group. There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The scores of MMSE, MOCA, total CMPPT, and standing static balance of the herbal dietary formula group increased after medication. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The vitamin E group’s MMSE and MOCA scores, CMPPT total scores, and standing resting balance scores did not change significantly after medication (p > 0.05). In summary, a traditional Chinese herbal dietary formula can improve body and cognitive function in patients with MCI, and the curative effect is better than that of vitamin E. Traditional Chinese herbal dietary formulas can improve the daily life quality of MCI patients, which has clinical application value.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci14040333","authors":["Xiaofan Xu","Dan Shi","Yuchen Chen","Luyao Wang","Jiehui Jiang","Shuyun Xiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-29T06:33:16Z","doi":"10.3390/brainsci14040333","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106089","name":"Daphne genkwa: Ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and pharmacology of an important traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106089","authors":["Yue Hu","Rongrong Pan","Yi Wang","Minghua Ma","Ying Peng","Weiqing Fan","Ruoxi Zhang","Hua Nian","Jianyong Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-19T15:46:21Z","doi":"10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106089","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.carres.2024.109168","name":"Monosaccharide composition analysis by 2D quantitative gsHSQCi","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2024.109168","authors":["Xiaofang Ma","Caihong Li","Junyin Zhang","Jiang Xin","Isidore Mosongo","Jiahui Yang","Kaifeng Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-28T15:18:48Z","doi":"10.1016/j.carres.2024.109168","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/srt.13636","name":"Genetic insights into the gut microbiota and risk of facial skin aging: A Mendelian randomization study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background A growing number of experimental studies have shown an association between the gut microbiota (GM) and facial skin aging. However, the causal relationship between GM and facial skin aging remains unclear to date. Methods We conducted a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the potential causal relationship between GM and facial skin aging. MR analysis was mainly performed using the inverse‐variance weighting (IVW) method, complemented by the weighted median (MW) method, MR‐Egger regression, and weighted mode, and sensitivity analysis was used to test the reliability of MR analysis results. Results Eleven GM taxa associated with facial skin aging were identified by IVW method analysis, Family Victivallaceae ( p = 0.010), Genus Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group ( p = 0.038), and Genus Parasutterella ( p = 0.011) were negatively associated with facial skin aging, while Phylum Verrucomicrobia ( p = 0.034), Family Lactobacillaceae ( p = 0.017) and its subgroups Genus Lactobacillus ( p = 0.038), Genus Parabacteroides ( p = 0.040), Genus Eggerthella ( p = 0.049), Genus Family XIII UCG001 ( p = 0.036), Genus Phascolarctobacterium ( p = 0.027), and Genus Ruminococcaceae UCG005 ( p = 0.012) were positively associated with facial skin aging. At Class and Order levels, we did not find a causal relationship between GM and facial skin aging. Results of sensitivity analyses did not show evidence of pleiotropy and heterogeneity. Conclusion Our findings confirm the causal relationship between GM and facial skin aging, providing a new perspective on delaying facial aging.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/srt.13636","authors":["Mulan Chen","Yuhui Che","Mengsong Liu","Xinyu Xiao","Lin Zhong","Siqi Zhao","Xueer Zhang","Anjing Chen","Jing Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-01T00:33:34Z","doi":"10.1111/srt.13636","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4236/cm.2024.153004","name":"An Ultimate Approach to Retarding the Aging Process by Integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4236/cm.2024.153004","authors":["Kam Ming Ko","Hoi Yan Leung"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-06T20:42:39Z","doi":"10.4236/cm.2024.153004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules29214991","name":"Geographical Origin Traceability of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma Based on Chemical Composition, Chromaticity, and Electronic Nose","source":"crossref","abstract":"Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (AMR) is a traditional Chinese medicine used for gastrointestinal diseases.

In this paper, we determined the content of eight chemical components including 60% ethanol extracts, essential oil, polysaccharides, atractylenolides, and atractylone, obtained the color parameters of AMR powder by colorimetry, and odor information was captured by the electronic nose, all of which were combined with machine learning to establish a rapid origin traceability method. The results of the principal component analysis of the chemical components revealed that Zhejiang AMR has a high comprehensive score and overall better quality. The Kruskal–Wallis test demonstrated that there are varying degrees of differences in chemical composition and color parameters across the different origin. However, the accuracy of the classification model is low (less than 80%), making it difficult to distinguish between different origins of AMR. The electronic nose demonstrated excellent classification performance in the traceability of AMR from different origins, with accuracy reaching more than 90% (PLS-DA: 96.88%, BPNN: 96.88%, PSO-SVM: 100%).

Through a retrospective study of DR cases in the real world, the electronic medical records of patients who met screening criteria were collected. Moreover, Recursive Feature Elimination with Cross-Validation (RFECV) was used for feature selection. Then, the prediction model was built based on Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) and it was compared with 4 other popular machine learning techniques, including Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The models were evaluated with accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under the curve (AUC) value as indicators. In addition, grid search was used to optimize the model. To explain the results of the model more intuitively, the Shapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) method was used. A total of 9034 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients meeting the screening criteria were included in this study, including 1118 patients with DR. 19 features were selected using RFECV in the model construction. We constructed 5 commonly used models, including GBM, LR, KNN, Random Forest, and SVM. By comparing model performance, GBM has the highest accuracy (0.85) and AUC value (0.934), which is the best prediction model. We also carried out hyperparameter optimization of grid search for this model, and the model accuracy reached 0.88, and the AUC value increased to 0.958. Through SHAP analysis, it was found that TCM syndrome types, albumin, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, total protein, glycosylated hemoglobin were closely related to the increased risk of DR. It can be concluded that TCM syndrome type is the risk factor of DR. The GBM classifier based on grid search optimization, with relevant risk factors of TCM and western medicine as variables, can better predict the risk of DR.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000040896","authors":["Li Xiao","Lixuan Tang","Wenxuan Kuang","Yijing Yang","Ying Deng","Jing Lu","Qinghua Peng","Junfeng Yan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-20T20:04:20Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000040896","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000026","name":"Protection and sustainable utilization of traditional medicinal biogenetic resources","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000026","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-15T19:01:24Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000026","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcme.2023.12.004","name":"The characterization of traditional Chinese medicine natures and flavors using network pharmacology integrated strategy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcme.2023.12.004","authors":["Hong Wang","Wenfeng Wei","Jing Liu","Shuang Zhang","Yunli Zhao","Zhiguo Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-25T13:28:07Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcme.2023.12.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100839","name":"Clinical research hotspots and trends of atherosclerosis treatment with traditional Chinese medicine preparations","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100839","authors":["Jingyi Li","Jiao Wu","Xiaohu Xue","Jianhe Fang","Jingjing Li","Meiying Ao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-20T13:59:53Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100839","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_128","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine, Alternative Medicine, and Antiaging: Acupuncture and Moxibustion and Antiaging","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_128","authors":["Masato Egawa"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-05T13:32:24Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-97-8514-8_128","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.133068","name":"Exploring the Medication Law of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Auxiliary Platform","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.133068","authors":["燕 劳"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-06T13:12:17Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.133068","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5246/jcps.2024.05.029","name":"Advances in the treatment of hyperuricemia with traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5246/jcps.2024.05.029","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-14T02:38:46Z","doi":"10.5246/jcps.2024.05.029","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/3068-1987/1003","name":"Strengthen the global research work of combining Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is an important direction for medical development and an important way to achieve global health and well-being.","url":"https://doi.org/10.52768/3068-1987/1003","authors":["Mengyuan Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-08T06:13:48Z","doi":"10.52768/3068-1987/1003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.225Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ccmp.2023.100127","name":"May Traditional Chinese Medicine Reduce the Risk of Developing Rheumatoid Arthritis?

METHODS: In this prospectively study, 130 patients underwent FS-LASIK or FS-LASIK Xtra for high myopia. Their right eyes were selected for inclusion in the study, of which 65 cases of 65 eyes in the FS-LASIK group, 65 patients with 65 eyes in the FS-LASIK Xtra group. Patients were evaluated for corneal densitometry at 1, 3, and 6mo postoperatively using Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging. RESULTS: Preoperative differences in corneal densitometry between the FS-LASIK and FS-LASIK Xtra groups in different ranges were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Layer-by-layer analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the anterior (120 μm), central, and total layer corneal densitometry between the FS-LASIK and FS-LASIK Xtra groups at 1 and 3mo postoperatively (all P<0.05), the FS-LASIK Xtra group is higher than that of the FS-LASIK group. Analysis of different diameter ranges showed statistically significant differences between the FS-LASIK group and the FS-LASIK Xtra group at 1mo postoperatively in the ranges of 0–2, 2–6, and 6–10 mm (both P<0.05); At 3mo postoperatively, the FS-LASIK Xtra group is higher than that of the FS-LASIK group in the ranges of 0–2 and 2–6 mm (P<0.05). At 6mo postoperatively, there were no statistically significant differences in corneal densitometry between the FS-LASIK group and the FS-LASIK Xtra group in different diameter ranges (all P>0.05). CONCLUSION: There is an increase in internal corneal densitometry during the early postoperative period after FS-LASIK Xtra for correction of high myopia. However, the densitometry values decreased to the level of conventional FS-LASIK at 6mo after surgery, with the most significant changes observed in the superficial central zone.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2024.07.16","authors":["Qing-Bao Wang","Xiao-Fan Wang","Hua Fan","Li Li","Peng Ji"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-25T08:46:49Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2024.07.16","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13007-024-01202-6","name":"Rapid identification of medicinal plants via visual feature-based deep learning","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plants (CMPs) hold a significant and core status for the healthcare system and cultural heritage in China. It has been practiced and refined with a history of exceeding thousands of years for health-protective affection and clinical treatment in China. It plays an indispensable role in the traditional health landscape and modern medical care. It is important to accurately identify CMPs for avoiding the affected clinical safety and medication efficacy by the different processed conditions and cultivation environment confusion. Results In this study, we utilize a self-developed device to obtain high-resolution data. Furthermore, we constructed a visual multi-varieties CMPs image dataset. Firstly, a random local data enhancement preprocessing method is proposed to enrich the feature representation for imbalanced data by random cropping and random shadowing. Then, a novel hybrid supervised pre-training network is proposed to expand the integration of global features within Masked Autoencoders (MAE) by incorporating a parallel classification branch. It can effectively enhance the feature capture capabilities by integrating global features and local details. Besides, the newly designed losses are proposed to strengthen the training efficiency and improve the learning capacity, based on reconstruction loss and classification loss. Conclusions Extensive experiments are performed on our dataset as well as the public dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves the best performance among the state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the advantages of efficient implementation of plant technology and having good prospects for real-world applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-024-01202-6","authors":["Chaoqun Tan","Long Tian","Chunjie Wu","Ke Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-31T08:02:01Z","doi":"10.1186/s13007-024-01202-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100447","name":"Unlocking therapeutic precision: “Camptotheca acuminata, a traditional chinese herb tailored for phytonano-cancer theranostics”","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100447","authors":["Debojyoti Adak","Priyanka Ray","Saini Setua"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-21T15:53:17Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100447","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7717/peerj.18322","name":"Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the OSC gene family in Platycodon grandiflorus","source":"crossref","abstract":"Platycodon grandiflorus stands as one of the most extensively utilized traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, with triterpenoids and their derivatives serving as its primary medicinal components. Oxido squalene cyclase (OSC), serving as a crucial enzyme in the triterpenoid synthesis pathway, has the capability to enzymatically generate significant quantities of sterols and triterpenoid intermediates. While the OSC gene family has been identified in numerous species, bioinformatics research on this family remains scant. Presently, the specific members of this gene family in Platycodon grandiflorus have yet to be definitively determined. In this study, we successfully identified a total of 15 PgOSC genes within the genome of Platycodon grandiflorus by conducting homology comparisons. These genes were discovered to be unevenly distributed across the five chromosomes of the species, organized in the form of gene clusters. Subsequently, we conducted a thorough analysis of the OSC gene family’s evolutionary relationship by constructing a phylogenetic tree. Other characteristics of PgOSC family members, including gene structure, conserved motifs, protein three-dimensional structure, subcellular localization, and cis-acting elements were thoroughly characterized. Furthermore, We analyzed the expression of PgOSC gene in different tissues of Platycodon grandiflorus by qRT-PCR, and found that the expression of PgOSC genes in root was higher than that in stem and leaf. Upon comparing the effects of salt, heat, and drought treatments, we observed a significant induction of PgOSC gene expression in Platycodon grandiflorus specifically under salt stress conditions. In summary, this study comprehensively identified and analyzed the OSC gene family, aiming to provide basic biological information for exploring the members of PgOSC gene family.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.18322","authors":["Xiaoqin Wang","Dong Yan","Ling Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-28T08:19:51Z","doi":"10.7717/peerj.18322","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.1310372","name":"The Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Postoperative Perianal Abscess","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.1310372","authors":["光明 程"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-09T04:45:28Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.1310372","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.136205","name":"Research Progress on the Treatment of Gastric Cancer by Combination of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.136205","authors":["毓 马"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-02T01:46:14Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.136205","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789811294358_fmatter","name":"FRONT MATTER","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789811294358_fmatter","authors":["Chun-Su Yuan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-25T01:41:41Z","doi":"10.1142/9789811294358_fmatter","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-9167-9_8","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine for Visceral Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-9167-9_8","authors":["Haipeng Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-26T22:02:17Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-99-9167-9_8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0044-1787307","name":"Clinical Efficacy and Experimental Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Moxibustion Therapy in Ovarian Injury","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This review summarizes the clinical efficacy and experimental research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) moxibustion in the intervention of ovarian injury.

cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study reveals GRK4 as a novel susceptibility gene for COPD","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent respiratory disorder with environmental factors being the primary risk determinants. However, genetic factors also substantially contribute to the susceptibility and progression of COPD. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several loci associated with COPD susceptibility, the specific pathogenic genes underlying these loci, along with their biological functions and roles within regulatory networks, remain unclear. This lack of clarity constrains our ability to achieve a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of COPD. This study leveraged the FinnGen R11 genetic dataset, comprising 21,617 cases and 372,627 controls, along with GTEx V8 eQTLs data to conduct a cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS). Initially, we performed a cross-tissue TWAS analysis using the Unified Test for Molecular Signatures (UTMOST), followed by validation of the UTMOST findings in single tissues using the Functional Summary-based Imputation (FUSION) method and conditional and joint (COJO) analyses of the identified genes. Subsequently, candidate susceptibility genes were screened using Multi-marker Analysis of Genomic Annotation (MAGMA). The causal relationship between these candidate genes and COPD was further evaluated through summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR), colocalization analysis, and Mendelian randomization (MR). Additionally, the identified results were validated against the COPD dataset in the GWAS Catalog (GCST90399694). GeneMANIA was employed to further explore the functional significance of these susceptibility genes. In the cross-tissue TWAS analysis (UTMOST), we identified 17 susceptibility genes associated with COPD. Among these, a novel susceptibility gene, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4), was validated through single-tissue TWAS (FUSION) and MAGMA analyses, with further confirmation via SMR, MR, and colocalization analyses. Moreover, GRK4 was validated in an independent dataset. This study identifies GRK4 as a potential novel susceptibility gene for COPD, which may influence disease risk by exacerbating inflammatory responses. The findings address gaps in previous single-tissue GWAS studies, revealing consistent expression and potential function of GRK4 across different tissues. However, considering the study’s limitations, further investigation and validation of GRK4 ’s role in COPD are warranted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-80122-w","authors":["Guanglei Chen","Yaxian Jin","Cancan Chu","Yuhao Zheng","Changfu Yang","Yunzhi Chen","Xing Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-18T07:35:54Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-024-80122-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7591120.v1","name":"Recent advancements in traditional Chinese medicine for COVID-19 with comorbidities across various systems: a scoping review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has developed a rich theoretical system and practical experience in fighting to infectious diseases over the past thousands of years, and has played an important role in controlling the spread owing to its unique advantages.

To address these issues, we introduce \\textit{DigestDS}, a novel dataset comprising practical medical records from experienced experts in digestive system diseases.

Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable accuracy in dosage prediction, achieving a normalized mean square error of 0.0604. In contrast, LLMs without fine-tuning exhibit poor performance.

Auflage","source":"datacite","abstract":"Ginseng is a traditional plant in Chinese medicine because it includes pharmaceutical ginsenosides that have been used in Asia for thousands of years. Ginsenosides are triterpenoids, a class of natural products mainly present in Panax species (e.g., Panax ginseng, P. notoginseng, and P. quinquifolium). However, due to the shortcomings of chemical synthesis and extraction from plants, the synthesis of ginsenosides by microbial cell factories, which has the advantages of environmental friendliness, high efficiency, convenience, and potentially low cost, has received much attention in recent years. The present study had three goals: 1. Analyze current challenges for the ginsenosides synthesis by yeast. 2. Optimize DoE-based medium and fermentation conditions for improved protopanaxadiol production. 3. Further enhancement of ginsenoside production by in-situ extraction. In some detail, we designed the DoE experiment by Design Expert 11 (Stat-Ease, Inc.) and analyzed the final result by ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation. It showed that glucose, glutamate, salts, temperature, and oxygen play a crucial role in influencing final protopanaxadiol production. The five parameters were investigated during fermentation to improve the final protopanaxadiol production. Finally, we have got an optimized M3 medium, which vastly increases the final protopanaxadiol production to 1.2 g/L in shake flasks with a membrane lid at 28 ℃, 8-fold compared to the original fermentation condition. This M3 medium also works for other engineered strains that produce other triterpenoids (e.g., betulin, and betulinic acid). Because some ethanol evaporated during the fermentation, we tried to replenish the evaporation by feeding ethanol at different times to improve the final protopanaxadiol production. The result showed that the protopanaxadiol production could reach 1.8 g/L when 10 g/L ethanol was fed at 96 h, with a 46 % increase in titer compared to the control without feeding ethanol. To showcase the versatility of the M3 medium, we expanded the triterpenoids to complex ginsenoside, Compound K, for which we integrated the S. cerevisiae codon-optimized UGPTg1 glycosyltransferase from Panax ginseng into our protopanaxadiol producing strain 102-tm-reerg7-2PP. Comparing CK production by strain CK7 in YPD, WM8+, and our M3 medium revealed respectively a 10-fold and 7.3-fold increase in CK titers in the latter, thus emphasizing the efficacy of the M3 medium for the production of glycosylated ginsenosides. Extracellular production of triterpenoids would be a key strategy to increase the final target triterpenoids production and promote the downstream purification processes. Given this, we added different hydrophobic compounds during the fermentation to carry out in-situ extraction. Different vegetable oils, isopropyl myristate, and dodecane were tested. Finally, almost all the dammarenediol-II and protopanaxadiol produced by the engineered yeast were secreted when vegetable oil was added during the fermentation. In addition, the yeast cells can be repeatedly used for subsequent fermentation rounds after adding isopropyl myristate or vegetable oils to extract all the dammarenediol-II and protopanaxadiol. In summary, as the cultivation conditions are easily established and transferable to Compound K and betulin producers, the study might facilitate the evaluation of engineered strains in microtiter plates and shake flask cultivations. The amounts of triterpenoid produced enable advanced analytics and even facilitate first ideas for purification of this intriguing class of natural products.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18154/rwth-2024-09493","authors":["Qiu, Shangkun"],"tags":["Hochschulschrift","synthetic biology ; triterpenoid ; yeast ; cultivation optimization ; secretion ; in situ extraction"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.18154/rwth-2024-09493","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17613/dvk7-jg37","name":"The Yin/Yang Properties of Cancers and Correlation with Infectious Diseases, Autoimmune Diseases, and Allergies: Treatment with Small Bidirectional Molecules","source":"datacite","abstract":"Nai-yi Wang (2024). “The yin/yang properties of cancers and correlation with infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and allergies: treatment with small bidirectional molecules”, In: "Evolutionary Progress in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics", Lawrence K.

Panax notoginseng complements these actions with its strong anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anticoagulant properties, while Dalbergia odorifera has been traditionally used to treat cardio-cerebrovascular conditions, enhancing overall heart and blood vessel function. In this review, we examine the collective therapeutic potential of these herbs through clinical evaluations conducted by Tasly (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., a leading name in herbal medicine research. The study focuses on their cardioprotective effects, analyzing key blood inflammation markers such as IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, CK-BB, CK-MM, and the IL-6/IL-10 ratio. These markers are critical indicators of inflammation and immune response, particularly in cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, changes in gut microbiota, a crucial factor influencing systemic inflammation and overall health, were assessed before and after a one-month treatment period. The results highlight the herbs' ability to modulate inflammatory responses, improve cardiovascular health, and restore gut microbiome balance. Such findings underline their potential not only as a complementary therapy but also as a bridge between traditional remedies and modern medicine. This comprehensive evaluation demonstrates that the combination of these herbs could offer a natural, effective solution for managing cardiovascular diseases, paving the way for their wider clinical application.

The JBI scope review execution process is used as the methodological framework, and databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Sinomed, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed are searched, with a time limit from database establishment to May 2024. Two researchers independently screened and extracted literature, and used descriptive analysis to summarize the data. The results obtained are as follows: a total of 5055 articles were retrieved, and 16 articles were ultimately included. The research subjects' educational backgrounds include vocational, undergraduate, and master's degrees, including graduates from traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine colleges. The training content covers three modules: theoretical knowledge, skill operation, and comprehensive quality, with a total training duration ranging from 2 weeks to 2 years; There are 8 forms of training, including theoretical lectures and clinical skills combination training, competency based training, and mentorship combined with \"Western learning in Chinese\" training; There are six assessment indicators, including scores in traditional Chinese medicine nursing theory knowledge, scores in traditional Chinese medicine nursing skills exams, and satisfaction levels. Based on the results, it is concluded that each traditional Chinese medicine hospital should adopt personalized and diverse training forms based on the background of nurse education when carrying out traditional Chinese medicine nursing training, and accurately grasp the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine culture. In addition, a unified evaluation standard should be established for traditional Chinese medicine nursing training to improve the scientific and standardized nature of the training system.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/se5ba","authors":["杨思佳"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Nursing","FOS: Health sciences","Newly hired nurses","Scope Overview","Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital","Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing","Training"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/se5ba","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.13906500","name":"The Impact of RED Biotechnology on Healthcare Advances","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Dawn of Biotechnology in Healthcare Biotechnology is defined as ‘a set of enabling techniques for bringing about specific human-made changes in DNA, or genetic material, in plants, animals, and microbial systems, leading to useful products and technologies’ (UN, 2024). The use of biological substances became more prevalent in traditional medicine during the Middle Ages, bringing about tremendous improvements. As the use of herbal remedies increased, healers and apothecaries planted medicinal gardens to obtain a wide range of plants that could be prepared using traditional wisdom passed down through the generations, frequently combining elements of distillation and fermentation (Hargreaves, 2023). Honey was used by the ancient Egyptians to treat respiratory illnesses and as a wound treatment, while by 600 BC, the Chinese were treating boils with mouldy soybean curds. Additionally, it has been documented that Ukrainian peasants used mouldy cheese to treat wounds that were infected because the moulds emitted antibiotic-like compounds that killed bacteria and stopped the infection from spreading (Hargreaves, 2023; Science Learning Hub, 2024). The second stage of biotechnology development, known as classical biotechnology, spanned the years from 1800 to nearly the middle of the 20th century. The abundance of diverse observations in this era, strengthened by scientific evidence, has allowed the mysteries of biotechnology to be unravelled (Bhatia and Goli, 2018). The experiments and observations of Louis Pasteur led to the development of techniques like pasteurization, which greatly aided in food safety and disease prevention during the mid-19th century, when infant mortality from food poisoning exceeded 200 per 1000 livebirths annually in many countries (Currier, 2023). Moreover, Gregor John Mendel discovered genetic information in pea plants for the first time, laying the foundation for modern biotechnology. Mendel's groundbreaking discoveries of dominant and recessive features, as well as the basic principles of genetics that are now known as the laws of heredity, came about as a result of his findings (Verma et al., 2011; Hargreaves, 2023). In addition, a number of fundamental ideas in biology were developed during the second half of the 1800s as scientists shifted their attention from the study of animals, organs, or tissues to the study of individual cells. It was at this time that Schleiden and Schwann demonstrated that all tissues originate from cells and that animals and plants have the same basic units of structure, cells, which combine to form complex organisms (Mayr, 1982). The long-held belief that new cells can form spontaneously from inanimate materials was refuted by studies conducted, among others, by Pasteur and Virchow, which showed that new cells can only develop from other cells.

Vigor Plex CBD Gummies are specially formulated CBD-infused gummies designed to support men’s sexual health, energy levels, and overall well-being. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the hemp plant, known for its wide range of health benefits, including reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and balancing the body’s systems. Unlike THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, CBD does not produce a \"high,\" making it safe for daily use. In addition to CBD, Vigor Plex Male Enhancement Gummies are fortified with ingredients specifically targeted at improving male sexual performance and boosting testosterone levels. These gummies offer a discreet, easy-to-consume, and effective solution for men looking to enhance their stamina and overall health without resorting to synthetic medications or invasive treatments. How Do Vigor Plex CBD Gummies Work? The effectiveness of Vigor Plex CBD Gummies is attributed to the combined power of CBD and other key natural ingredients. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors that regulate various bodily functions, including mood, stress, pain, and sexual performance. By promoting balance within the ECS, CBD helps reduce stress, enhance blood flow, and improve relaxation—key factors in sexual performance and overall vitality. The gummies are also enriched with natural ingredients known for boosting testosterone levels, increasing stamina, and enhancing libido, creating a synergistic effect that supports male sexual health.

Due to late detection and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy, it has become a difficult problem in tumor prevention and treatment at present. Exploring or discovering new combinations is a significant strategy for the treatment of CRC. Compound kushen injection (CKI) is a traditional Chinese medicine injection extracted from Sophora flavescens Ait. and Smilax glabra Roxb., which is widely used in the comprehensive treatment of CRC in China. This systematic review is aimed to ascertain the clinical efficacy and safety of CKI combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced CRC based on available data. On this basis, the specific application of CKI in combination with chemotherapy in clinical practice is further discussed.Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedicine Database Searches, the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched systematically, from inception to April 20, 2024. We adopted the ROB2 tool to assess quality of the included trials, Stata 16 for data analysis, and evaluated the publication bias with the funnel plot and Egger’s test. The quality of the evidence was justified according to GRADE. We also used trial sequential analysis (TSA) to calculate the final required sample size in this meta-analysis and to verify whether the results present a reliable conclusion. The protocol for this systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022380106) and has been published.Results:Sixteen trials that examined 1378 patients were included in this study. Meta-analysis revealed that compared with chemotherapy, objective response rate (ORR, RR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.18-1.44), disease control rate (DCR, RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03-1.13), and KPS score improvement rate were improved (RR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.07-1.31) by the combination of CKI and chemotherapy in patients with advanced CRC. Additionally, CKI combined with chemotherapy was associated with lower adverse reactions such as leukopenia (RR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.87), thrombocytopenia (RR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.49-0.94), gastrointestinal reactions (RR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.55-0.94), and liver damage (RR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.79), higher CD4 + ratio (MD = 9.70, 95% CI:8.73-10.68) and CD4 + /CD8 + ratio (MD = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.22-0.28), and lower CD8 + T cell ratio (MD = −5.25, 95% CI: −5.94 to −4.56). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that ORR and DCR in patients with advanced CRC were improved when CKI combined with FOLFOX and 5Fu + L-OHP. Both 15 and 20 ml/day of CKI combined with FOLFOX provided a significant effect in ORR. Moreover, ORR was improved when the accumulated CKI dose reached 280 ml per course and 420 ml in total. 7 days/course as well as 14 days/course of CKI combined with FOLFOX were effective durations in ORR. As for DCR, 7 days/course of CKI combined with FOLFOX could improve efficacy. Furthermore, CKI + FOLFOX may be useful in ORR and DCR for at least 4 cycles of combination therapies. The TSA showed that firm results in ORR and DCR were established and additional trials were unlikely to change the results.Conclusion:CKI combined with chemotherapy provides a statistically significant and clinically important effect in the improvement of ORR, DCR, performance status, ADR reduction, and immune function in patients with CRC. However, more rigorously designed, large-scale, and multi-center RCTs are needed in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25384/sage.c.7277799","authors":["Wu, Jingyuan","Ma, Xinyi","Wang, Xinmiao","Zhu, Guanghui","Wang, Heping","Zhang, Ying","Li, Jie"],"tags":["Health and Community Services","Endocrinology","Oncology and Carcinogenesis not elsewhere classified","Aged Health Care"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.25384/sage.c.7277799","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.226Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25384/sage.c.7277799.v1","name":"Efficacy and Safety of Compound Kushen Injection for Advanced Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials with Trial Sequential Analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Backgrounds:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the common malignant tumors, with a gradually increasing incidence. Due to late detection and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy, it has become a difficult problem in tumor prevention and treatment at present. Exploring or discovering new combinations is a significant strategy for the treatment of CRC. Compound kushen injection (CKI) is a traditional Chinese medicine injection extracted from Sophora flavescens Ait. and Smilax glabra Roxb., which is widely used in the comprehensive treatment of CRC in China. This systematic review is aimed to ascertain the clinical efficacy and safety of CKI combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced CRC based on available data. On this basis, the specific application of CKI in combination with chemotherapy in clinical practice is further discussed.Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedicine Database Searches, the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched systematically, from inception to April 20, 2024. We adopted the ROB2 tool to assess quality of the included trials, Stata 16 for data analysis, and evaluated the publication bias with the funnel plot and Egger’s test. The quality of the evidence was justified according to GRADE. We also used trial sequential analysis (TSA) to calculate the final required sample size in this meta-analysis and to verify whether the results present a reliable conclusion.

Similarly, Uganda’s indigenous medical traditions embody profound ethnomedical knowledge, creating a robust foundation for cross-cultural exchanges in phytotherapy between the two nations. The introduction of TCM to Uganda started in the 1980s, facilitated by successive Chinese medical teams dispatched under the framework of Sino-African health cooperation, and has engendered a gradual yet sustained trajectory of acceptance and integration within local healthcare systems. Empirical evidence indicates that TCM’s therapeutic efficacy, cultural adaptability, and cost-effectiveness have progressively contributed to its growing institutional recognition and community-level adoption across Uganda’s diverse demographic groups since its initial dissemination. Therapeutic approaches such as acupuncture and massage, along with the remarkable efficacy of artemisinin in combating malaria, offer local populations more options for disease prevention and health maintenance. This paper examines the historical development and current practices of TCM in Uganda, aiming to provide insights and recommendations for addressing challenges related to infectious disease control, chronic disease management, and health resource accessibility in Africa and other underdeveloped regions. Furthermore, it proposes cross-cultural implementation strategies for integrating traditional medicine into the global health governance framework, thereby contributing to the construction of a global community of health.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000167","authors":["Jie LIN","Xue HAN","Namusiitwa Resty"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-30T14:19:54Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000167","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000042593","name":"Genetic association between STAT1 and systemic lupus erythematosus: A two-sample Mendelian randomization observational study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is commonly observed in women of reproductive age and is often accompanied by other autoimmune conditions, such as Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid diseases. The presence of comorbidities has the potential to negatively impact the overall health, quality of life, and happiness of affected individuals. While biologics and CAR-T cell therapies are effective, they come with substantial financial burdens, and traditional treatments remain non-curative with significant side effects. Recent studies indicate that necroptosis is a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of SLE, underscoring the urgent need for a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the causal relationship between necroptosis and SLE. Using summary-level data from genome-wide association studies, we conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis on 53,301 participants to explore the interaction between signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and SLE. This investigation included 122 individuals with SLE and 456,226 controls. In the primary analysis, the inverse variance weighted method was employed to obtain preliminary results. Subsequently, sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the reliability of the findings and to identify and address any potential confounding factors. These analyses included a leave-one-out method and an in-depth inspection of funnel plots, which is an effective method for ensuring the reliability of the MR results, thereby elucidating the plausible genetic relationship between STAT1 and SLE. In this study, we utilized 241 single nucleotide polymorphisms related to the interferon/ receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3/phosphorylase glycogen axis within the necroptosis pathway as instrumental variables. Through inverse variance weighted analysis, we observed a significant causal relationship between STAT1 and SLE (odds ratio: 0.556, 95% CI: 0.335–0.92, P = .023). Sensitivity analyses, including MR-Egger regression and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier tests, confirmed the robustness and consistency of the results. The MR analysis results confirmed a causal relationship between STAT1 and SLE. This study offers novel insights into the pathogenesis of SLE and presents new perspectives for therapeutic interventions. Consequently, this research provides a foundation for the development of novel treatment and prevention strategies for SLE.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000042593","authors":["Tingting Yang","Tongtong Xiong","Lu Wang","Liying Luo","Huimin Mei","Jinglong Yang","Xueming Yao","Yijun Xiong","Xudong Zhang","Huang Cong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-12T20:02:48Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000042593","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000042375","name":"Analysis of the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types and related factors in insomnia patients","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study analyzes the distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types in patients with insomnia and investigate the association between different factors and the distribution of the TCM syndrome types as well as the possible factors affecting this distribution. A retrospective analysis of the data from 468 insomnia patients was conducted. The association between different factors, such as gender, age, occupation, and the distribution of the TCM syndrome types, was evaluated using the Kruskal–Wallis H test, Chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact probability method. The potential factors affecting yin-yang syndrome insomnia were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The results of the TCM syndrome type distribution indicated that yin syndrome (69.9%) was significantly more common than yang syndrome (30.1%), among which the heart-spleen deficiency type (31.6%) was the most common. Age, occupation, hypertension, the presence or absence of children, and history of diabetes were significantly different among the different TCM syndrome types. The logistic regression analysis revealed that occupation (odds ratio [OR] = 2.099, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.356–3.251), offspring status (OR = 9.034, 95% CI: 1.181–69.085), diabetes status (OR = 2.202, 95% CI: 1.236–3.922), and gender (OR = 1.564, 95% CI: 1.009–2.423) were influencing factors of yang syndrome insomnia.

Methods This analysis utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 to assess the economic burden of TB through the lens of the Value of a Statistical Life Year (VSLY) framework, integrating willingness-to-pay-based economic measures. The study monetized the total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with TB to estimate overall welfare losses. Country-specific gross domestic product (GDP) data, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), were sourced from the World Bank and integrated with DALY estimates to calculate the Value of Lost Welfare (VLW). Results In 2021, the global economic cost of TB, expressed as VLW, was estimated at US$1.98 trillion (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 1.62, 2.45), representing 1.29% (95% UI: 1.05, 1.60) of global GDP. The economic impact of TB was disproportionately distributed across regions, with countries of low Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) facing the most severe burden, where VLW represented 7.83% (95% UI: 5.70, 11.20) of GDP. Lower-middle SDI regions experienced a VLW impact of 5.28% (95% UI: 4.30, 6.58). Sub-Saharan Africa (US$406.2 billion; 8.40% of GDP) and South Asia (US$822.5 billion; 5.70% of GDP) were identified as the most economically affected super-regions. India bore the highest absolute economic burden (US$477.5 billion). In contrast, high-SDI countries demonstrated a VLW-to-GDP ratio of just 0.10% (95% UI: 0.09, 0.12). Conclusions Prioritizing TB control in economic policy is urgently needed. Equitable resource allocation to high-burden regions is vital to alleviate the disease's economic consequences and improve global health.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofag014","authors":["Ji-Chun Wang","Qin-Yan Zuo","Jin-Xin Zheng","Wen-Wen Lv","Wei Wang","Shun-Xian Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-09T12:48:24Z","doi":"10.1093/ofid/ofag014","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/ijnde.2025.071108","name":"Research on the Optimal Path of Integrating Traditional Chinese Culture into the Teaching of Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/ijnde.2025.071108","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-21T14:22:22Z","doi":"10.25236/ijnde.2025.071108","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/3068-1987/1013","name":"Diagnosis and assessment of non suicidal self injury in the background of integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Non Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI) is a behavior characterized by intentional physical harm to ones body (e.g., cutting, burning, or hitting) as a means of alleviating psychological distress, or and attracting others’ attention, or/and seeking help from others, without the real intent of suicide 1.","url":"https://doi.org/10.52768/3068-1987/1013","authors":["Fengli Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-08T06:45:36Z","doi":"10.52768/3068-1987/1013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0045-1807264","name":"Meta-analysis of Acupuncture Intervening Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The data were analyzed using chi-square tests and binary logistic regression with SPSS 26.0 software, and compared with ER/PR expression results. (i) In the ER-positive/PR-positive group, compared with prechemotherapy, syndromes of spleen qi deficiency, spleen deficiency with dampness-phlegm, and spleen–kidney deficiency significantly increased during mid-chemotherapy and after chemotherapy. Compared with mid-chemotherapy, spleen yang deficiency syndrome significantly increased after chemotherapy, with statistical significance (p < 0.05). (ii) In the ER-negative/PR-negative group, compared with prechemotherapy, syndromes of spleen qi deficiency and spleen deficiency with dampness-phlegm significantly increased during mid-chemotherapy, while spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, and spleen–kidney deficiency significantly increased after chemotherapy. Compared with mid-chemotherapy, spleen–kidney deficiency and spleen yang deficiency syndromes significantly increased after chemotherapy, with statistical significance (p < 0.05).

Natural Products as Anti–Cancer Therapeutics: Mechanisms of Action and Therapeutic Potential","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, with incidence and mortality rates continuing to rise despite advances in conventional therapies. These treatments often encounter limitations such as toxicity, drug resistance, and narrow therapeutic windows, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a promising alternative through its multi-component, multi-target approach. Among its bioactive constituents, saponins, a diverse class of natural compounds, have emerged as potent anti-cancer agents with favorable safety profiles. This review systematically consolidates current knowledge on the anti-cancer mechanisms of saponins derived from medicinal plants. Evidence indicates that saponins impede tumor progression by inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis), promoting autophagic flux, arresting the cell cycle, and suppressing metastatic behaviors such as invasion and migration. Critically, these effects are mediated through the modulation of key oncogenic signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin, AMPK, NF-κB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT. Notably, many saponins exhibit selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells while sparing normal cells, reducing the risk of adverse effects. The multi-target nature of saponins aligns with the complexity of cancer pathogenesis, offering a holistic therapeutic strategy. This review highlights the translational potential of saponin-based compounds and advocates for their continued investigation as candidates for next-generation anti-cancer drugs, either as monotherapies or in combination with existing regimens.","url":"https://doi.org/10.69626/bba.2025.0190","authors":["Wei Lu","Tao Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-01T03:51:06Z","doi":"10.69626/bba.2025.0190","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570004","name":"The future of evidence-based medicine for traditional Chinese medicine and health technology assessment","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570004","authors":["Jian-ping Liu","Nicola Robinson"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-30T04:35:27Z","doi":"10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.61440/jmcns.2025.v3.77","name":"Inappropriate Diet – A Major Cause of Psychological Disorders","source":"crossref","abstract":"Emotional imbalances and mental illnesses are continuously increasing and have become one of the plagues of modern society.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of TMDC in treating asthma from the perspective of Treg cells and gut microbiota across distinct gut segments (jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon). Methods: An ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model was established in mice, followed by oral administration of TMDC at high, medium, and low dose. Immune cells and lung inflammation were examined to assess asthma severity. Microbial composition was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Antibiotic cocktail and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) were administrated to confirm the key role of specific bacteria. Results: TMDC attenuated lung inflammation (p < 0.01) and eosinophilic infiltration (p < 0.01) as well as IL-4 and IL-5 secretion (p < 0.01); it was also associated with an increase in Treg cells in the lung, small intestine (SI), and colon (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, TMDC restored the number of microbiota species and the Shannon index in the hindgut and reinstated beneficial bacteria, such as Allobaculum and Turicibacter, which were diminished in asthmatic mice. Notably, TMDC significantly enriched Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, particularly in the hindgut. Lactobacillus abundance was significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with Treg cells, IL-4, IL-5, and eosinophils. Furthermore, LGG supplementation restored elevated lung inflammation (p < 0.05) and decreased Treg cells (p < 0.01) due to antibiotic-induced microbiota depletion. Conclusion: TMDC alleviated asthma by promoting Treg cell expansion in a Lactobacillus-dependent manner across different gut segments, providing new insights into its therapeutic mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph18050646","authors":["Yanfei Hong","Zheng Yang","Zirui Liu","Na Li","Jingbo Qin","Dongyu Ge","Guiying Peng","Ji Wang","Qi Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-02T11:35:13Z","doi":"10.3390/ph18050646","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000132","name":"Using Xiang Thinking to Unravel the Mystery of Wu Xing in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract From the perspective of Xiang thinking (象思维 imagery thinking), the application of Wu Xing (五行 five elements) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides a reasonable cognitive model. Wu Xing with the earth in the center (中土五行) helps TCM establish extensive connections between the human body and the universe, while Wu Xing in the generating and conquering cycles (生克五行) incorporates everything into a systematic thinking framework through complex dialectical relationships, becoming an ideal cognitive tool for TCM diagnosis and treatment. In essence, Wu Xing represents an upgrade of yin-yang dialectical thinking into a two-dimensional Xiang thinking diagram, possessing powerful explanatory capabilities. When faced with complex life systems, Wu Xing provides TCM with a theoretical framework, and TCM, in turn, offers a practical application for Wu Xing .","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000132","authors":["Qian LIU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-25T07:00:09Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000132","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2025.070220","name":"Current Status and Research Progress of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2025.070220","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-01T09:00:23Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2025.070220","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules30051146","name":"Prediction of Chemical Composition and Sensory Information of Codonopsis Radix Based on Electronic Nose","source":"crossref","abstract":"Codonopsis Radix (CR), an important species of “medicine-food homology”, exhibits broad market prospects, underscoring the urgency and importance of research on its quality. This study specifically measured the alcohol-soluble extract and polysaccharide extract of 77 samples from mainstream producing areas of CR, which serve as key fractions for assessing its quality. Additionally, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the sensory characteristics of samples, the study employed electronic tongue technology to obtain sweetness values, used a colorimeter to determine yellowness values, and captured odor fingerprint information through an electronic nose (E-nose). In the data analysis phase, the study compared the accuracy of various regression prediction models, including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). After comprehensive evaluation, an SVM algorithm was selected due to its superior prediction performance. To further enhance prediction accuracy, the study utilized a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the SVM, resulting in a significant improvement in the prediction accuracy of sweetness values. In conclusion, regression prediction models for chemical composition and sensory information of CR based on an E-nose were established. It represents an enhancement of traditional morphological identification methods for Chinese medicinal herbs and provides new ideas and means for quality evaluation of CR. Furthermore, it offers a reference for quality evaluation of other similar Chinese medicinal herbs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules30051146","authors":["Xingyu Guo","Ruiqi Yang","Yushi Wang","Jiayu Wang","Yashun Wang","Huiqin Zou","Yonghong Yan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-04T03:26:21Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules30051146","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/07853890.2025.2600171","name":"Exploring the ubiquitination regulatory network: opening new perspectives for rheumatoid arthritis therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/07853890.2025.2600171","authors":["Fanfan Wang","Jian Liu","Jianting Wen","Yue Sun","Mingyu He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-10T05:21:48Z","doi":"10.1080/07853890.2025.2600171","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53469/jcmp.2025.07(06).09","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Diabetes Nephropathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"Diabetes nephropathy (DKD) refers to the microvascular disease caused by diabetes, which can affect the whole kidney (including glomerulus, renal tubules, renal interstitium, etc.).

The Western medicine guidelines advocate comprehensive intervention for multiple risk factors, mainly based on improving unhealthy lifestyle habits, controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids, while using drugs with dual effects of lowering blood sugar and protecting target organs such as the heart and kidneys. A very small number of patients can choose surgical treatment. According to clinical syndrome differentiation, combined with historical literature, Chinese medicine will name it “Xiaxiao”, “Shenxiao”, “Turbid Urine”, “Edema”, “Longbi”, etc. according to its original disease. Based on the etiology and pathogenesis of the above diseases, we have treated diabetes nephropathy through syndrome differentiation, and achieved good clinical results.

Therefore, our study aimed to explore the molecular subtypes and biomarkers associated with disulfidptosis-related ferroptosis (DRF) in UC. Methods We used Pearson analysis to identify DRF genes. Then, we classified 140 UC samples into different subtypes based on the DRF genes and explored the biological and clinical characteristics between them. Next, the hub genes were identified by differential analysis and WGCNA algorithms, and three machine learning algorithms were used to screen biomarkers for UC from hub genes. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between biomarkers of immune cells and transcription factors and predicted natural compounds that might be used to treat UC. Finally, we further verified the reliability of the markers by RT-qPCR experiments. Results 118 DRF genes were identified using Pearson analysis. Based on the expression level of the DRF genes, we classified UC patients into C1 and C2 subtypes, with significant differences in the abundance of immune infiltration and disease activity between the two subtypes. The machine learning algorithms identified three biomarkers, including XBP1, FH, and MAP3K5. Further analyses revealed that the three biomarkers were closely associated with a variety of immune cells and transcription factors. In addition, six natural compounds corresponding to the biomarkers were predicted, which may contribute to the effective treatment of UC. Finally, the expression trends of XBP1, FH, and MAP3K5 in animal experiments were consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis. Conclusion In this study, we systematically elucidated the role of DRF genes in the development of UC, and identified three potential biomarkers, providing a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of UC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s41065-025-00390-y","authors":["Yinghao Jiang","Hongyan Meng","Xin Zhang","Jinguang Yang","Chengxin Sun","Xiaoyan Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-22T10:51:28Z","doi":"10.1186/s41065-025-00390-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00011-025-02165-7","name":"KIAA1429 as a therapeutic target in osteosarcoma: challenging the linear ferroptosis pathway and evaluating translational hurdles","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00011-025-02165-7","authors":["DuJiang Yang","Lin Yu","Zhijun Ye","GuoYou Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-24T10:34:27Z","doi":"10.1007/s00011-025-02165-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.009","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine-based phytotherapeutics for junk food-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.009","authors":["Kirubakaran Dharmalingam","Nagaraj Durga","Poongavanam Senthamil Selvi","Murugan Pachaiyappan","Sethuraman Veeran"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-21T22:16:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000044514","name":"Association between different insulin resistance surrogates and severe abdominal aortic calcification: A cross‑sectional study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is a well-established predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although insulin resistance (IR) is implicated in vascular calcification, evidence on the association between IR surrogates and severe AAC remains limited. A cross-sectional analysis of 1230 participants was conducted using data from the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multiple regression and generalized additive models (GAM) were employed to evaluate the associations between IR surrogates (TyG index, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and METS-IR) and severe AAC. The predictive performance of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and its derived indicators in predicting severe AAC was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC). Multiple regression analysis revealed a positive association between TyG index (calculated from fasting triglyceride and glucose levels) and severe AAC risk (OR = 1.642, 95% CI: 1.050, 2.570, P = .030) after adjusting for confounders. This association persisted even after adjusting for metabolic syndrome and log (HOMA-IR). Trend tests and GAM confirmed a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and severe AAC. Subgroup analysis revealed that this relationship was stronger in women. ROC and AUC analyses demonstrated that the TyG index could reliably predict severe AAC (AUC = 0.858). No significant association was found between HOMA-IR, METS-IR, and severe AAC. An elevated TyG index was associated with an increased risk of severe AAC, independent of metabolic syndrome. These findings underscore the critical importance of managing the TyG index to reduce the risk of severe AAC and have important implications for clinical practice and epidemiological studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000044514","authors":["Tong Wang","Yunpeng Luo","Qian Lin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-22T21:00:43Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000044514","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10875-025-01905-y","name":"De Novo Missense Variant c.170 C > A of ELANE in a Chinese Infant with Congenital Neutropenia: Case Report and Literature Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10875-025-01905-y","authors":["Xinying Chen","Xiaoxin Zhao","Bo Pan","Lianyu Wang","Wensi Xie","Wenwen Jiang","Jinghua Yang","Weixia Wu","Yanxin Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-12T09:10:38Z","doi":"10.1007/s10875-025-01905-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2024.09.005","name":"Prevention and treatment of radiation injury by traditional Chinese medicine: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2024.09.005","authors":["Lixue He","Shixing Edi","Jun Ma","Zilin Kong","Chunguang Dai","Linfang Huang","Rui Zeng","Kaijun Gou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-13T14:04:48Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2024.09.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10425","name":"The Expression of Pathogenesis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (中医的发病)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10425","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T11:59:54Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10425","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12877-025-06863-z","name":"Association between triglyceride glucose index and deep vein thrombosis following total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective case-control study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-025-06863-z","authors":["Qian Wu","Wenquan Ding","Jiacheng Du","Lingfen Liu","Rui Xie","Zhanghuan Chen","Dinghua Jiang","Liyu Zhou","Lixin Huang","Wu Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-26T11:05:27Z","doi":"10.1186/s12877-025-06863-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2024.12.005","name":"Exploitation potential and deep-rooted conformational relationships of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2024.12.005","authors":["Wenyuan Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-21T05:41:12Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2024.12.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570011","name":"What is good practice in traditional Chinese medicine?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570011","authors":["Nicola Robinson","Monique Sheelagh Jacquard Simmonds","Jian-ping Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-29T01:50:07Z","doi":"10.26599/ecmta.2025.9570011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000150","name":"Observation and Perception: Recognizing Malignant Tumors and Their Modern Changes of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This paper explores how traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), in the absence of modern medical instruments, employed observation and perception to understand and diagnose malignant tumors (cancer). It also reviews the evolution of relevant knowledge and treatment approaches since the introduction of Western medical technology. In ancient times, TCM primarily relied on external symptoms, palpation, and patient-reported experiences to infer internal masses, with a focus on gynecological disorders. Ancient TCM practitioners deduced internal conditions through patterns such as menstrual irregularities, abdominal masses, and abnormal discharges. Early descriptions of malignant tumors employed the character “癌 (cancer)” to symbolize rock-like cavities, yet the descriptions were chiefly limited to external manifestations, with limited understanding of internal pathology. With the introduction of Western medicine, Chinese society gradually expanded its comprehension of cancer and adopted surgical as well as other therapies. In contrast, modern TCM has increasingly emphasized its own therapeutic effects, even promoting claims of cancer cure, warranting further investigation. The paper highlights the transition in TCM from a diagnostic model based mainly on observation and perception to another model increasingly combined with modern imaging and laboratory techniques. The transition underscores the need for innovation in TCM’s future development, while also revealing the diagnostic experience of ancient practice. Understanding TCM’s historical recognition of malignant tumors from the perspective of history of medicine may provide insights for contemporary TCM approaches to cancer treatment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000150","authors":["Kuo-li PI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-22T02:00:09Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000150","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10427","name":"The Holistic Concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (中医整体观念)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10427","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T11:59:54Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-99-5009-6_10427","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000137","name":"Diagnostic Illustrations: Integration and Changes of Western Transmission of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis Diagrams","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Throughout the long development of the Silk Road, traditional medical techniques from various countries have continued to intersect and integrate, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has also been transmitted to Eurasia via the Silk Road.

alpha-fetoprotein with exceptional sensitivity and specificity, employing a novel MoS2/Fe3O4 composite fabricated through an advanced in-situ growth methodology. The composite exhibited a hierarchical flower-like structure with uniformly distributed Fe3O4 nanoparticles, confirmed by SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. The MoS2/Fe3O4 composite demonstrated a 66% increase in surface area (7.16 m²/g) compared to pristine MoS2, enhancing aptamer immobilization and electron transfer efficiency. Electrochemical characterization revealed a significant increase in interfacial resistance upon AFP binding, with a detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL and a dual linear range of 0.001–0.1 ng/mL and 0.1–100 ng/mL. The aptasensor showed excellent specificity, negligible interference from proteins such as CEA and PSA, and high reproducibility (RSD < 4.2%). Stability tests indicated 95% signal retention after 7 days and 87% after 30 days. Real sample analysis in spiked human serum achieved recovery rates of 96.8–102.3%. These findings underscore the potential of the MoS2/Fe3O4-based aptasensor as a cost-effective, reliable tool for early liver cancer diagnosis, with significant improvements in sensitivity and practicality over conventional methods.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15251/cl.2025.226.507","authors":["C.

This approach is grounded in the TCM tenet that there exists no strict demarcation between food and medicinal substances, allowing for disease prevention and treatment through dietary means. Commonly used foodmedicines encompass Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) , Ginseng (Panax ginseng) , Epimedium (Yinyanghuo) , Cordyceps (Dongchongxiacao) , and Maca (Lepidium meyenii) . Their purported mechanisms of action involve modulating the nervous system, improving vascular function, regulating endocrine levels, and exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Contemporary studies suggest that these substances exert their influence through multiple targets and pathways. Nevertheless, this field is confronted with notable challenges, including insufficient scientific validation, ambiguous mechanisms of action, difficulties in standardization and quality control, and safety concerns. Based on a synthesis of existing research, this review systematically consolidates the application and recent advances of the TCM food-medicine homology concept in treating male sexual dysfunction. Its objective is to furnish a scientific foundation for the broader promotion and application of this paradigm within the domain of MSD management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48014/atcm.20251118001","authors":["Yucheng JIN","Fanli ZENG","Yumin ZHUO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-23T08:53:41Z","doi":"10.48014/atcm.20251118001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.145331","name":"Progress in Treatment of Acute Mastitis with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.145331","authors":["佳莉 邢"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-29T05:23:02Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.145331","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.146384","name":"CiteSpace Visual Analysis of Treating Infantile Enuresis with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.146384","authors":["笛 肖"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-30T03:27:10Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.146384","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.625Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000045223","name":"Causal relationships between antibody-mediated immune responses and acute pancreatitis: Evidence from a genetic study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Certain specific antibody-mediated immune responses may be associated with acute pancreatitis (AP), but their causal relationship remains uncertain. Therefore, we used bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate their causal link and potential mediation by inflammatory cytokines. Data for this study were sourced from a large-scale Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) communal data pool. To explore the causality between antibody-mediated immune responses and AP, we performed two-sample bidirectional MR analyses using 5 approaches: inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted mode, weighted median, and simple mode. We also studied the potential mediating effect of 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines using a two-step MR method. Additionally, sensitivity analyses were conducted using MR-Egger intercept test and Cochran Q test to ensure the robustness of the outcomes. The results of forward MR analysis showed that anti-Epstein-Barr virus (anti-EBV) IgG seropositivity [OR = 0.941; 95% CI, 0.893–0.992; P = .023] and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 IE1A antibody levels [OR = 0.894; 95% CI, 0.816–0.981; P = .017] significantly reduced the risk of AP. The results of the reverse MR analysis revealed a negative correlation between AP and anti-EBV IgG seropositivity [OR = 0.775; 95% CI, 0.605–0.992; P = .043]. Furthermore, none of the 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines could mediate the causal relationship between HHV-6 IE1A antibody levels and the risk of AP. The results of sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these causalities. The current study suggests that HHV-6 IE1A antibody levels are a protective factor against AP, and there is a bidirectional causality between AP and anti-EBV IgG seropositivity. In addition, the mediation analysis results showed that the 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines could not serve as mediators between the 46 antibody-mediated immune responses and AP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000045223","authors":["Minjian Xie","Liqun Li","Sheng Xie","Xiaoyun Lei","Chengning Yang","Jianfeng Li","Lijian

formula for treating damp-heat type knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of BXZLY on KOA by using network pharmacology and molecular docking. Active ingredients and their corresponding targets of BXZLY were screened through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform. The known disease targets of KOA were retrieved from GeneCards and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. The effective targets of BXZLY for treating KOA were obtained with the Venny platform. A drug-component-target network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software, and a protein–protein interaction network was established via the STRING database. The protein–protein interaction network was visualized by Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. The biological functions of the targets wereanalyzed through Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis with the DAVID database. The Gene Ontology enrichment and KEGG pathway visualization bubble charts were generated using the OmicShare online platform to explore the biological functions of BXZLY in treating KOA. The main signaling pathways of BXZLY in treating KOA were investigated by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Finally, AutoDockTools software was used for molecular docking validation of the key molecules of the drug and the key proteins of the disease. A total of 108 active compounds and 280 target proteins of BXZLY were identified. There were 2816 disease-related targets related to KOA, among which 99 were targeted by BXZLY for KOA treatment. Key compounds included β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, quercetin, and dioscin. Core target proteins consisted of STAT3, ESR1, EGFR, JUN, and PTGS2. The pathways mainly involved the advanced glycation end products – receptor for advanced glycation end products, estrogen, HIF-1, and relaxin signal pathways. Molecular docking showed a strong binding affinity between active ingredients and core target proteins. Docking candidates were selected based on oral bioavailability ≥ 30%, drug-likeness ≥ 0.18, and degree values in Cytoscape. This strategy ensured a reliable selection of compounds with high therapeutic relevance. BXZLY provides a comprehensive therapeutic strategy for KOA treatment by regulating cell proliferation and alleviating inflammation through its multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000041459","authors":["Renkun Huang","Jiehua Lu","Xueyi Yang","Guanyun Sheng","Fangyi Qin","Xiongwu Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-10T20:01:56Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000041459","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.144220","name":"Podocyte Injury and Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Membranous Nephropathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.144220","authors":["新月 徐"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-18T05:06:00Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.144220","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/02770903.2025.2552740","name":"Bitter taste receptors as therapeutic targets: a review of the role and recent advances of bitter traditional Chinese medicine in bronchial asthma","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02770903.2025.2552740","authors":["Xinru Zhang","Jiaqi Ma","Anan Zhang","Jinmei Zhang","Lixia Wu","Fang Wang","Dandan Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-08-26T12:37:46Z","doi":"10.1080/02770903.2025.2552740","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53941/aim.2025.100004","name":"CNN-Based Tongue Image Segmentation in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Tongue image segmentation is a key component of the intelligent diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and its accuracy directly affects the subsequent classification and diagnostic results. However, current research faces challenges due to data scarcity and limited model adaptability. The lack of publicly available tongue image datasets restricts the model’s generalization ability, while traditional algorithms are highly sensitive to lighting and posture changes. Moreover, general deep learning models have not been optimized for the characteristics of blurry tongue edges and low contrast background, which often leads to loss of details or over-segmentation. To address these issues, this study has constructed a high-quality dataset containing 1405 tongue images and proposes a lightweight tongue image segmentation network (TSNet). TSNet employs depthwise separable convolutions to reduce computational cost, introduces a Parallel Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (PASPP) module to extract multi-scale features and handle blurred boundaries, and incorporates a Boundary Adjustment (BA) module to enhance edge segmentation accuracy. Experimental results show that TSNet achieves a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 97.20% while using fewer parameters than mainstream models.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Meets Western Medicine: The Practice of Scientification in Modern Shang Han Lun Theory","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Against the backdrop of the modern-era conflict between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, during which Western medicine gradually gained administrative authority over public health, Chinese medicine faced an existential crisis. Due to Shang Han Lun (《伤寒论》 Treatise on Cold Damage ) being characterized by its emphasis on clinical efficacy rather than metaphysical speculation, and under the influence of Japanese Kampo medicine, which highly valued the study of Shang Han Lun and promoted Chinese-Western integration, Shang Han Lun Theory emerged as a primary breakthrough point for the scientification of TCM. Modern-era scholars of Shang Han Lun Theory developed innovative interpretations of the six meridians from multiple perspectives, including reinterpretation based on syndromic patterns, organ structures and physiopathological mechanisms, the Stage-based Model, and pathological location and nature. They also incorporated new scientific knowledge such as bacteriology, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology to reinterpret the etiology, medicinals, and formulas within the Shang Han Lun .Moreover, these scholars pioneered the clinical co-application of Western pharmaceuticals with Shang Han Lun –based formulas, introduced Western diagnostic instruments into TCM clinical practice, and explored institutional models of the Integration of TCM and Western Medicine. These innovations and transformations led to the formation of a new research paradigm within Shang Han Lun Theory, which not only countered the criticisms from Western medicine, thereby preserving the academic and clinical space for TCM, but also initiated a new educational model for Shang Han Lun studies. More importantly, it laid a crucial theoretical and practical foundation for the post-1949 development of the Integration of TCM and Western Medicine, marking a significant milestone in the modern history of Chinese medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000152","authors":["Panfei LI","Deming ZHU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-17T04:00:05Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000152","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-17182-z","name":"A comprehensive study on drug-related Raynaud’s phenomenon based on the FDA adverse event reporting system","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-17182-z","authors":["Pingping Zheng","Xiulian Zheng","Qun Chen","Dongmei Wang","Longzhuan Huang","Jianping Lin","Shaoqing Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-01T07:20:25Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-17182-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/nu17182988","name":"Curcumin Combined with Tryptophan Ameliorates DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis via Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and Regulation of Gut Microbiota","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Curcumin (Cur) and tryptophan (Trp) both show promise for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) alone, but their combination has not been explored. This study investigated the therapeutic advantage of the combination (Cur–Trp) for DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice. Methods: We established a mouse model of ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The mice were treated with Cur, Trp, or Cur–Trp, and to evaluate the therapeutic effects, we assessed clinical signs such as body weight, disease activity index (DAI), and colon length. We also examined intestinal barrier function through indicators including histopathological changes, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress levels, mucin secretion, and tight junction protein expression. Additionally, we analyzed the composition of gut microbiota and the content of its metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Results: The Cur–Trp group produced the most significant improvement, exceeding that of Cur or Trp group. This was evidenced by a significant recovery of this sign, including slower weight loss, reduced colon shortening, and de-creased disease activity index. Compared with the model group, the weight loss of mice in the Cur–Trp group was reduced from 17.15% to 9.73%, which was better than that in the cur group (11.33%) and the Trp group (11.59%). The DAI decreased from the model group (3.6) to the Cur–Trp group (2.4), while the DAI in the Cur group and the Trp group only decreased to 2.9 and 2.8, respectively. The colon length in the Cur–Trp group (6.52 cm) was larger than that in the cur group (6.31 cm), the Trp group (6.23 cm) and the model group (5.5 cm). The Cur–Trp intervention effectively restored intestinal barrier function, as shown by reducing colon tissue dam-age, modulating inflammatory factors, restoring oxidative balance, increasing mucin secretion, and upregulating tight junction protein expression. Further studies showed that the combination uniquely modulated the gut microbiome, increased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio, decreased the genus of pro-inflammatory bacteria, and in-creased beneficial bacteria, while increasing SCFA levels to alleviate DSS-induced ulcerative colitis. Conclusions: Cur–Trp has shown great potential in alleviating colitis and promoting intestinal barrier function, suggesting that the combination of Cur and Trp has the potential to be developed as a therapeutic functional food or dietary supplement for UC. However, more studies are needed to validate this finding. Future research should focus on elucidating the precise molecular mechanisms, optimizing dosage and clinical trials in chronic models and humans to provide more targeted treatment options.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nu17182988","authors":["Hedong Jiang","Gonglong Li","Liuming Xie","Nanhai Zhang","Yi Huang","Xinli Liang","Fanghua Guo","Qieying Jiang","Zhenggen Liao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-18T12:24:25Z","doi":"10.3390/nu17182988","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10067-025-07402-2","name":"Integration of metabolomics and genomics implicates a causality between 1398 blood metabolites and gout","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10067-025-07402-2","authors":["Mingyuan Fan","Zhangjun Yun","Jiushu Yuan","Dingyi Lu","Hongyan Xie","Haipo Yuan","Hong Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-30T19:43:32Z","doi":"10.1007/s10067-025-07402-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.31038/imroj.20251012","name":"Preparation and Clinical Analysis of Homemade Traditional Chinese Medicine Ointment","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.31038/imroj.20251012","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-01T11:37:31Z","doi":"10.31038/imroj.20251012","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/fsn3.4624","name":"Causal Relationship Between Circulating Metabolites and Sarcopenia‐Related Traits: A Mendelian Randomization and Experimental Study","source":"crossref","abstract":"ABSTRACT Sarcopenia (SP), an age‐associated condition marked by muscle weakness and loss has been strongly connected with metabolic factors according to substantial evidence. Nevertheless, the causal correlation between SP and serum metabolites, and the biological signaling pathways involved, is still not well understood. We performed a bidirectional two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the causal relationships between 1091 levels and 309 ratios of metabolites with SP traits, alongside investigating the relevant biological signaling pathways. Additionally, we explored the differential expression of plasma metabolites and potential biological signaling pathways in an animal model of SP. When SP was utilized as the outcome, we identified 11 robust causal associations between seven metabolite levels/ratios and SP‐related traits using Bonferroni's correction (threshold: p < 0.05). We verified the stable causal association of glycine levels and SP in the validation. As for the reverse MR analysis, there were 11 strong causal relationships with 11 plasma metabolite levels/ratios remaining after multiple contrast correction. Additionally, biological signaling pathway analysis showed that glycine metabolism, insulin resistance, and cAMP signaling pathways may contribute to the connection between metabolites and SP. Mendelian validation of various datasets and observations in animal serum metabolomics suggests a strong association between glycine metabolism and SP. Our results indicate that the identified metabolites and biosignaling pathways could serve as important circulatory metabolic biomarkers for the screening and prevention of SP in clinical settings. Additionally, they represent potential molecules for future exploration of mechanisms and selection of drug targets.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/fsn3.4624","authors":["Weihui Qi","Xinning Mao","Zhenglin Mei","Li Zhu","Yinyan Shao","Guofen Ge","Gaoyong Jia","Hao Pan","Dong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-09T10:44:29Z","doi":"10.1002/fsn3.4624","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59710/oaijoaru253246k","name":"Gua sha treatment in acute scapular pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"In most cases of acute pain around the scapular region, the pain comes from activities or postures that weaken the muscles and ligaments, attached to it.

However, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its natural products offer unique therapeutic potential in oncology which may help to address these challenges. Mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy, is a key regulator of mitochondrial quality, metabolic balance, and programmed cell death, and has dual roles in tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic responses. The canonical PINK1/Parkin and receptor-mediated BNIP3, NIX, and FUNDC1 pathways coordinate both the removal of damaged mitochondria and adaptation to stress to thus influence tumor cell survival, proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. This review systematically summarizes the mitophagy-related molecular mechanisms present in tumors, and highlights the multifaceted anticancer effects exerted by TCM via mitophagy. TCM exerts chemo-preventive effects on precancerous lesions, induces apoptosis, ferroptosis, and other forms of programmed cell death, reprograms tumor metabolism, and modulates inflammatory signaling, immune cell function, and immunogenic cell death to thereby collectively reshape the tumor immune microenvironment. Beyond its antitumor activities, TCM alleviates cancer-related fatigue through mitophagy regulation in the skeletal muscle. Moreover, combination therapies involving mitophagy modulators enhance TCM efficacy. Further studies which integrate single-cell omics, spatial metabolomics, and functional imaging are needed in order to define context-specific mitophagy regulation, optimize combination strategies, establish reliable biomarkers, and thus position TCM as a promising approach for personalized and integrative cancer therapy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x25500879","authors":["Ke Yang","Junqi Wang","Ying Cao","Fan Zhang","Ze Zhang","Siyao Ma","Jinhong Yu","Ziyao Liu","Hongxu Liu","Wenping Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-19T01:47:11Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x25500879","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.36468/pharmaceutical-sciences.1490","name":"Advances in Targeted Therapy Combined with T-Cell Immunotherapy for Malignant Tumors","source":"crossref","abstract":"T-cell therapy has changed the treatment landscape for both haematological malignancies and solid tumors, achieving breakthroughs in areas such as relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and melanoma.

Serious adverse reactions induced by T-cell therapy, such as cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, and immunologic escape leading to drug resistance and relapse, should also be addressed. Exploring new combination therapy approaches is considered an effective strategy to further enhance the anti-tumor effects of T-cell therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and T-cell receptor-engineered T-cell therapy are two directions of T-cell therapy.

Thirty-six dogs with heart failure were included based on the following criteria: (1) poor response to Western medicine (WM) after 4 weeks or owners opting for TCVM; (2) treated with TCVM for over 3 months; and (3) had heart ultrasounds before and after TCVM treatment. TCVM treatments included acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, tailored to each dog’s TCVM pattern diagnosis. Chinese herbs used included Shen Calmer, Heart Qi Tonic, Breathe Easier B, and Su Zi Jiang Qi, aimed at tonifying Heart Qi, stopping coughing and calming the Shen. Acupuncture points such as BL-15, CV-17, and PC-6 were used to nourish the Heart and alleviate clinical signs like panting and coughing. The outcomes were assessed by improvements in the clinical signs (fatigue, cough, panting, sleep) and ultrasound results [left atrium-to-aorta ratio (LA:Ao ratio), mitral valve regurgitation]. The mean (SD) overall clinical score significantly improved from 6.22 (2.66) pre-treatment to 1.42 (1.70) post-treatment (p=2.9×10-11). The LA:Ao ratio decreased from 1.92 (0.32) to 1.67 (0.22), with 36.1% of dogs achieving normal LA:Ao values (p=9.3×10-10).

The currently generally used clinical treatments have disadvantages such as side effects, limitations, and poor patient compliance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a pharmacological effect with multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways, emphasizing a “holistic concept” and “differential diagnosis and treatment,” which is compatible with the complex pathogenesis of GM and NAFLD. Previous studies have demonstrated a close relationship between the gut microbiome (GM) and the occurrence and progression of NAFLD. However, the mechanisms between GM and NAFLD are complex. This paper not only analyzes the relationship between the GM and the pathogenesis of NAFLD but also discusses in detail how various TCM active metabolites and Chinese herbal formulas could exert a therapeutic effect on NAFLD by regulating the GM and its metabolites. Furthermore, this paper innovatively explores how TCM regulates the abundance of five major bacterial phyla, and their representative genera, to improve the pathogenesis of NAFLD. In summary, this review article proposes innovative ideas and options for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD with focus on GM regulation, and provides a theoretical basis for the development of new drugs from traditional Chinese medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x25500788","authors":["Yifan Zhang","Hongkun Li","Na Jiang","Qingjing Ru"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-10T08:12:38Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x25500788","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/09581596.2025.2530621","name":"Association between prescription medication and erectile dysfunction: results from NHANES dataset and mendelian randomization study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09581596.2025.2530621","authors":["Jian Cai","Juan Zhao","Hao Tan","Hang Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-12T06:48:17Z","doi":"10.1080/09581596.2025.2530621","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-90155-4","name":"Investigation of the mechanism of chenodeoxycholic acid in treating acute lung injury through network pharmacology and experimental validation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Network pharmacology and molecular simulation techniques were employed to predict the potential targets and signaling pathways of chenodeoxycholic acid in the treatment of acute lung injury. Subsequently, its therapeutic effects on acute lung injury were preliminarily validated using animal experiments. The target of Chenodeoxycholic acid in the treatment of acute lung injury was predicted using network pharmacology. Key active ingredients and core targets were further validated using molecular docking studies. Lipopolysaccharide was used to establish a mouse model of acute lung injury to study the effect of chenodeoxycholic acid on acute lung injury. A total of 73 potential targets of Chenodeoxycholic acid for the treatment of acute lung injury were identified, primarily HSP90AA1, STAT3, HSP90AB1, EP300, and NFKB1. These core targets influence pathways associated with bile secretion, prostate cancer, and receptor activation in chemical carcinogenesis. These targets modulate various processes, including steroid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, and intracellular receptor signaling pathways, thus contributing to the treatment of acute lung injury. Molecular docking results indicated that Chenodeoxycholic acid exhibited strong binding affinity for the core targets, with docking energies ranging from −5.6729 to −7.4138 kcal/mol. The reliability of the results was further verified by molecular dynamics simulations. Results from animal experiments demonstrated that Chenodeoxycholic acid effectively ameliorated pathological injury to lung tissue in mice with acute lung injury, decreased levels of IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.01), and increased levels of IL-10 (P < 0.01). The mRNA expression levels of EP300, HSP90AB1, MTOR, and STAT3 were inhibited, while the mRNA expression level of NR1H4 was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Chenodeoxycholic acid can effectively improve acute lung injury.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-90155-4","authors":["Chong He","Mengmeng Jiang","Qian Xiong","Zuoxi Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-18T00:12:36Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-90155-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/jbhi.2024.3467343","name":"A Novel Framework for Multimodal Brain Tumor Detection With Scarce Labels","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/jbhi.2024.3467343","authors":["Yanning Ge","Li Xu","Xiaoding Wang","Youxiong Que","Md.

An increasing body of evidence indicates that hormones, particularly estrogen, play a significant role in RA. To date, no bibliometric studies have been conducted specifically on the role of estrogen in RA. This study seeks to perform a bibliometric analysis to elucidate research trends concerning estrogen in the context of RA from a comprehensive and systematic viewpoint. Methods We extracted literature pertaining to estrogen in RA from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database, up to April 22, 2025. Research trends in this domain were analyzed utilizing bibliometric software tools, VOSviewer and Bibliometricx. Results A total of 1,009 literatures were included in this study. Articles in this field were first published in 1951 and have shown an overall upward trend since 1982. The United States and China were the countries that contributed the most articles, while the University of Genoa was the most contributing affiliation. CUTOLO M is the most prolific and most cited author. Arthritis and Rheumatology is the most published and cited journal in this field in the world. The primary focus of research in this area encompasses the evidence, mechanisms, and practical applications of estrogen’s involvement in RA. In addition, the key words such as “cytokines”, “inflammation”, “immune response”, “oxidative stress”, and “endometriosis” appear most frequently, which indicates that the mechanism research of estrogen’s participation in RA has been a research hotspot in recent years. Conclusion This study reflects the degree of academic interest in the potential link between estrogen and RA. This also lays a foundation for continuous research in this field and provides certain insights for future research directions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13293-025-00806-4","authors":["Xiaoling Dai","Pan Li","Di Pan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-12T04:04:30Z","doi":"10.1186/s13293-025-00806-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12894-025-01803-w","name":"The impact of warm ischemia time on short-term renal function after partial nephrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Purpose This study aimed to assess the impact of warm ischemia time on short-term renal function in individuals undergoing partial nephrectomy. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search for primary research articles from 1990 to October 15, 2024 across several databases, including MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library. A random effects model was applied to determine multivariable adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Country and study design were utilised as outcome indicators in the regression model. Results Ten studies including 4,993 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy met the inclusion criteria. The threshold of potentially harmful ischemia time for renal artery occlusion ranges between 10 and 45 min. Our results revealed that long warm ischemia time was associated with decreased postoperative eGFR and poor short-term renal function (OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.02–1.15; P = 0.006) after partial nephrectomy. Sensitivity and meta-regression analyses demonstrated the robustness of the study’s findings. Conclusions Extended periods of warm ischemia, specifically exceeding 25–30 min, can inflict damage on kidneys undergoing surgical treatment. Minimising the duration of warm ischemia while simultaneously prioritising surgical safety and achieving clear margins is imperative. Moreover, ischemia time remains a modifiable risk factor and must be reduced to maintain overall short-term renal function. Relevant prospective and randomised controlled trials must be conducted to validate these findings.

With the continuous advancement in technology, current treatment options for melanoma and metastatic melanoma have significantly improved; however, the threat posed by melanoma still warrants attention from the broader population. Artemisinin, derived from the plant Artemisia annua, is recognized as a promising drug molecule that demonstrates effective activity against both malaria and cancer. In this study, artemisinin and its derivatives (such as artemisinic acid, artesunate, and dihydroartemisinin) were shown to possess inhibitory effects on melanoma and ocular melanoma Further investigations revealed that the efficacy of these compounds is primarily linked to their ability to reduce melanin content, inhibit melanogenesis and cellular proliferation, suppress tumor growth in murine models, counteract tumor metastasis and angiogenesis, as well as promote apoptosis. The core mechanisms underlying these effects may be associated with signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MALAT918/YAP, along with those related to angiogenesis. In this study, we reviewed the inhibition of melanoma angiogenesis by natural products and its potential mechanisms using literature from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid, ScienceDirect, Geenmedica, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The search timeframe spans from the inception of the database to September 2025. Inclusion criteria encompass original English-language research articles, clinical trials, case reports, and relevant reviews focusing on the mechanisms, efficacy, or clinical applications of artemisinin derivatives in melanoma and ocular melanoma. Exclusion criteria include non-English literature, studies not directly related to melanoma, ocular melanoma, or the antitumour effects of artemisinin, and inaccessible Chinese-language literature. We additionally identified supplementary eligible studies through manual screening of reference lists from relevant literature.This study emphasizes the critical role of artemisinin and its derivatives in combating melanoma and ocular melanoma.

However, applying large language models (LLMs) to TCM remains challenging due to its reliance on holistic reasoning, implicit logic, and multimodal diagnostic cues. Existing TCM-domain LLMs have made progress in text-based understanding but lack multimodal integration, interpretability, and clinical applicability. To address these limitations, we developed BenCao, a ChatGPT-based multimodal assistant for TCM, integrating structured knowledge bases, diagnostic data, and expert feedback refinement. BenCao was trained through natural language instruction tuning rather than parameter retraining, aligning with expert-level reasoning and ethical norms specific to TCM. The system incorporates a comprehensive knowledge base of over 1,000 classical and modern texts, a scenario-based instruction framework for diverse interactions, a chain-of-thought simulation mechanism for interpretable reasoning, and a feedback refinement process involving licensed TCM practitioners. BenCao connects to external APIs for tongue-image classification and multimodal database retrieval, enabling dynamic access to diagnostic resources. In evaluations across single-choice question benchmarks and multimodal classification tasks, BenCao achieved superior accuracy to general-domain and TCM-domain models, particularly in diagnostics, herb recognition, and constitution classification. The model was deployed as an interactive application on the OpenAI GPTs Store, accessed by nearly 1,000 users globally as of October 2025. This study demonstrates the feasibility of developing a TCM-domain LLM through natural language-based instruction tuning and multimodal integration, offering a practical framework for aligning generative AI with traditional medical reasoning and a scalable pathway for real-world deployment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2510.17415","authors":["Xie, Jiacheng","Yu, Yang","Chen, Yibo","Zhang, Hanyao","Zhao, Lening","He, Jiaxuan","Jiang, Lei","Tang, Xiaoting","An, Guanghui","Xu, Dong"],"tags":["Computation and Language (cs.CL)","Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)","Multiagent Systems (cs.MA)","Multimedia (cs.MM)","Software Engineering (cs.SE)","FOS: Computer and information sciences","FOS: Computer and information sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2510.17415","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17344302","name":"A systematic review and meta-analysis of traditional Chinese medicine in Parkinsonism","source":"datacite","abstract":"Parkinsonism, commonly caused by idiopathic Parkinson's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative syndrome presenting with bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability.

Instead of treating the market as a machine driven solely by data and algorithms, this approach reimagines it as a living body, animated by flows of capital, information, and sentiment. Within this model, liquidity becomes Qi, capital is the circulation of Blood, and industry sectors correspond to the vital organs of the economic body. External shocks are described through the Six Qi of classical medicine—Wind, Cold, Heat, Damp, Dryness, and Fire—while global capital and information flows mirror the Ren and Du vessels. Diagnosis follows the four classical methods of observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking; treatment corresponds to strategies of tonification, draining, movement, and harmonization.

Instead of treating the market as a machine driven solely by data and algorithms, this approach reimagines it as a living body, animated by flows of capital, information, and sentiment. Within this model, liquidity becomes Qi, capital is the circulation of Blood, and industry sectors correspond to the vital organs of the economic body. External shocks are described through the Six Qi of classical medicine—Wind, Cold, Heat, Damp, Dryness, and Fire—while global capital and information flows mirror the Ren and Du vessels. Diagnosis follows the four classical methods of observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking; treatment corresponds to strategies of tonification, draining, movement, and harmonization. Financial Acupuncture is not fortune-telling, nor a promise of profit. It is a metaphorical and methodological lens, designed to help readers perceive balance, imbalance, and potential points of intervention within financial systems.

Project Purpose The primary purpose of this research project is to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the global research landscape of acupuncture combined with medication therapy over the past 25 years. While this combined therapeutic approach has demonstrated significant clinical potential, its application characteristics, core advantageous disease targets, and research trends remain inadequately defined and systematically summarized. This study aims to address this gap by: Quantifying and Visualizing Research Output: Systematically collecting and analyzing relevant literature from both Chinese (CNKI) and international (PubMed) databases to identify publication trends, research volume, and growth patterns from 2000 to 2025. Identifying Research Foci and Disparities: Using advanced data visualization tools (VOSviewer) to perform keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis, thereby identifying the predominant diseases treated, the specific combination methods used (e.g., acupuncture with herbal medicine vs. Western drugs), and the types of research conducted (e.g., RCTs, systematic reviews) in different regions (China vs. international). Elucidating Synergistic Therapeutic Advantages: Synthesizing the findings to clearly articulate the synergistic mechanisms and clinical advantages of combining acupuncture with medication, categorizing them into distinct models such as \"Acupuncture-Drug Synergy,\" \"Acupuncture Enhancing Drug Efficacy,\" and \"Drug Enhancing Acupuncture Efficacy.\" Informing Future Clinical Practice and Research: Providing an evidence-based overview to guide clinicians in optimizing treatment protocols for specific diseases and to steer future research towards areas with the greatest potential impact, such as addressing methodological challenges (e.g., blinding in RCTs) and exploring underlying mechanisms. 2. Expected Outcomes Upon completion, this project is expected to yield several key outcomes that will contribute significantly to the field: A Comprehensive Disease Spectrum Map: A clear delineation of the diseases for which acupuncture-medication therapy is most advantageous. We expect to confirm its strong efficacy in neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson's, stroke), gynecological/endocrine conditions (e.g., PCOS), chronic pain (e.g., osteoarthritis), and mental health disorders (e.g., depression), while highlighting the differences in disease focus between Chinese and international research. A Characterization of Combination Modalities: A detailed breakdown of the preferred methods of combination (e.g., acupuncture + oral Western medicine is predominant internationally, while acupuncture + Chinese herbal medicine is more common in China) and the emergence of specialized techniques like acupoint injection and acupuncture anesthesia. An Analysis of the Research Landscape: Insights into the maturity and quality of the evidence base. We expect the analysis to reveal that international research is more focused on high-level evidence (e.g., systematic reviews and RCTs) for core disease areas, while Chinese research explores a broader range of diseases and traditional techniques, though with a relative scarcity of high-quality double-blind RCTs. A Framework for Understanding Synergistic Mechanisms: A theoretical framework that categorizes and explains the observed clinical advantages, providing a scientific rationale for why the combination therapy is more effective than monotherapies. This will be articulated through the three proposed models of interaction. Identification of Future Research Directions: The findings will highlight current challenges (e.g., lack of standardized acupuncture parameters, difficulties in blinding) and point toward future research needs, including the necessity for large-scale, rigorously designed clinical trials and deeper mechanistic studies to fully integrate this c","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/y7ek3","authors":["沈成宇"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Acupuncture","Acupuncture Combined with Medication","Data visualization"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/y7ek3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17141890","name":"The Role of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in Infertility Management: A Narrative Review of Current Evidence","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Infertility is a global public health concern affecting 9–18% of couples worldwide.

These include external treatments, baths, massages, essential oils, naturopathy, homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Some of them are included in current oncology and palliative care guidelines. Integrative medicine primarily addresses symptom relieve, quality of life, emotional well-being and spiritual needs which are major issues in palliative care. Objective: The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate whether integrative medicine and care is used in palliative care units of university hospitals in Germany. Methods: All 38 palliative care centers at university hospitals on the list of the Association of University Hospitals in Germany were contacted by email with personalized survey links. If the survey was not completed, a reminder was sent by email. If the survey was still not completed, centers were contacted by telephone and asked to complete the questionnaire or to answer the survey by telephone. The survey consisted of 12 questions. It assessed the number of beds in their palliative care unit, the use of integrative medicine and care, and staff training in integrative medicine and care techniques. Data were collected using the online survey function of RedCap. According to the ethics committee of the University Medical Centre Freiburg, a consultation or vote of the ethics committee was not necessary (request number 25-1015; 16 January 2025). Results: Of 38 palliative care units in university hospitals, 26 (68.4%) responded to the survey. The units had an average size of 10.2 beds (range 6-18). All responding palliative care units reported the use of integrative medicine and care. The most commonly used methods were aromatherapy (100%), massage (88.5%), art therapy (76.9%), washes and medicinal baths (73.1%), and wraps and compresses (73.1%). 16 sites (61.5%) reported that these were used for almost all patients. 16 sites reported that patients received 5 or more of these interventions during a stay. Staff training in integrative medicine and care varied widely between sites. Implication for research and/or (healthcare) practice: This survey focused on the use of integrative medicine and care in university hospitals in Germany and therefore surveyed hospital wards rather than individual patients or health professionals. The survey showed a high prevalence of integrative medicine and care in palliative care units in German university hospitals. Recommendations for the use of integrative medicine and care are included in the 2020 German guideline on palliative care for patients with oncological diseases and the 2022 German guideline on palliative care for patients with neurological diseases. Accordingly, the use of these interventions is partly in line with and partly beyond the recommendations of the guidelines. It is noteworthy that most of the interventions are also associated with human care, which is conveyed through the interventions. This widespread and frequent use in palliative care in all responding university palliative care centers, regardless of the recommendation in the guidelines, suggests that the applications are seen as beneficial in terms of alleviating suffering, emotional comfort or the spiritual needs of palliative care patients. This may suggest to investigate their efficacy in clinical trials and, if confirmed, to make their use available to other seriously ill patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17047336","authors":["Werthmann, Paul G","Liebscher-Koch, Sandra","Kienle, Gunver S."],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.17047336","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17047335","name":"PRIMUM Palliative Medicine: Prevalence of Integrative Medicine and Care in Palliative Medicine in University Medicine in Germany - a cross-sectional study","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Integrative medicine and care are used by approximately 70% of the population. These include external treatments, baths, massages, essential oils, naturopathy, homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Some of them are included in current oncology and palliative care guidelines. Integrative medicine primarily addresses symptom relieve, quality of life, emotional well-being and spiritual needs which are major issues in palliative care. Objective: The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate whether integrative medicine and care is used in palliative care units of university hospitals in Germany. Methods: All 38 palliative care centers at university hospitals on the list of the Association of University Hospitals in Germany were contacted by email with personalized survey links. If the survey was not completed, a reminder was sent by email. If the survey was still not completed, centers were contacted by telephone and asked to complete the questionnaire or to answer the survey by telephone. The survey consisted of 12 questions. It assessed the number of beds in their palliative care unit, the use of integrative medicine and care, and staff training in integrative medicine and care techniques. Data were collected using the online survey function of RedCap. According to the ethics committee of the University Medical Centre Freiburg, a consultation or vote of the ethics committee was not necessary (request number 25-1015; 16 January 2025).

Methods: In accordance with the scoping review guidelines, databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were systematically searched for intervention studies related to the application of TCM nursing techniques in patients with post-stroke spastic hemiplegia. The search timeframe covered from the establishment of each database to May 2025. Two researchers extracted and analyzed data from the included literatures. Results: A total of 19 literatures were included, with a total sample size of 1837 cases. The TCM nursing techniques involved 12 types such as scraping, cupping, moxibustion, and acupoint massage. The intervention methods included single technique or combination of multiple techniques. Conclusion: The research on the application of TCM nursing techniques in patients with post-stroke spastic hemiplegia is still in the development stage, but their positive effects have been initially verified. In the future, it is necessary to standardize operations, conduct multi-center studies, explore combined applications, carry out high-quality multi-center randomized controlled trials, clarify more effective intervention strategies, and promote their standardized and scientific development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/dczya","authors":["xinyu, Wang"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Nursing","FOS: Health sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/dczya","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/8ejz9","name":"Application of emotional freedom technique in patients with cancer: a scoping review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Emotional Release Technique (EFT), also known as Emotional Liberation Therapy, is a psychological intervention integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Western psychotherapy.

HiTOP spectra will be measured by Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2020) which is considered a HiTOP friendly measure as the clinical scales have been suggested to correspond with HiTOP spectra (Langwerden et al., 2022). The clinical scales in addition to the cynicism scale in MMPI-3 will be used as proxies for the psychological spectra in line with the suggestions by Langwerden et al. (2022) and the associations will be investigated with linear regression analyses, in which age and gender will be included as control variables. Dominance analyses will also be conducted in order to investigate which spectra that are most strongly associated with problem gaming and problem gambling. Few studies have investigated the HiTOP spectra and/or MMPI-2-RF (a MMPI-version which has many similarities with MMPI-3)/3 profiles of individuals with problem gaming and problem gambling specifically. However, a large body of research has identified relationships between conditions and various traits and states associated with all spectra. Theoretically and empirically, traits and states associated with internalizing, detachment, and both types of externalizing (e.g., sensation seeking) have been considered as particularly important determinants of both problem gaming and problem gambling (Nower et al., 2022; Király et al., 2023). It has been suggested that problem gaming and problem gambling in themselves might fit best under the disinhibited externalizing spectrum of the HiTOP, suggesting that disinhibited externalizing spectrum might be the most important class of psychological correlates for the conditions (Mullins-Sweatt et al., 2022). However, some results suggest that the associations between externalizing and problem gaming and problem gambling are not as strong as first assumed (Blaszczynski et al., 1986; Blaszczynski et al., 1997; Müller et al., 2016), which challenges the suggested categorization of problem gaming and problem gambling under the externalizing spectra. Further, anxiety and depression, which are also considered important predictive factors of problem gaming and problem gambling, are categorized under the internalizing and detachment spectra, respectively (Conway et al., 2022; Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology, n.d.). Given the associations observed between problem gaming and problem gambling and anxiety and depression, one could argue that problem gaming and problem gambling might fit better under one of these spectra. Based on this, it would be of interest to investigate which of these psychological spectra exhibit the strongest association to these conditions. Previous studies can shed light on which spectra that might be most strongly associated with problem gaming and problem gambling. When interpreting the findings from previous research, conventional benchmarks for small, medium, and large effect sizes (Cohen, 1988) have typically been used. Problem gaming has previously been reported to have a medium relationship with both anxiety (related to the internalizing spectrum) and depression (related to the detachment spectrum; Mehroof et al., 2010; Peng & Liu, 2010; Wang et al., 2018; Yu & Cho, 2016), which is consistent with findings from a recent meta-analysis (Männikkö et al., 2020). Further, there have been some studies reporting a small relationship with between problem gaming and sensation seeking (related to both externalizing spectra; Hu et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2017; Tian et al., 2019), while others have reported no or a medium inverse relationship (Collins et al., 2012; Mehroof et al.,","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/4zuv8","authors":["Pallesen, Ståle","Kristensen, Joakim Hellumbråten","Erevik, Eilin","Røed, Sol Emilie Navelsaker"],"tags":["Social and Behavioral Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/4zuv8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.626Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.15446162","name":"Recent Research in Acupuncture for Depression: An Overview and Methodological Analysis of Controlled Trials","source":"datacite","abstract":"Depression is a prevalent condition with significant impact on affect, cognition, and daily functioning, affecting individuals globally across all demographics.

Material and Methods: On 04/14/2022, the laceration measuring just 1 cm, underwent surgery in an attempt to heal by first intention, in order to speed up treatment. The following day, it was found suture dehiscence and a considerable increase in the diameter of the affected area. In view of the setback, we opted to use the hyperozonized range of oils (Oxxy Vet Repair, 1200 PI). Later, we added moxibustion to the treatment to reduce the existing humidity. In the final phase of treatment, a bell with a diameter considerably less for the application of ozone in its gaseous form, with the aim of optimize your concentration in the desired location.

The International Diabetes Federation has repeatedly warned that by 2025, the global number of diabetics would rise to 333 million from 194 million in 2003. Although the occurrence of diabetes in developing countries is lower, China has a large population, so that the number of cases is increased. At the same time, more people have prediabetes, a growing health concern where a large percentage of the patients develop full type 2 diabetes. In addition, the patients of diabetes easily incur complications such as blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular diseases that can seriously affect the patients’ quality of life and cause great economic burdens to family and society. Therefore, effective interventions for prediabetes are needed to prevent or delay the occurrence and development of diabetes. Methods A randomized controlled trial that was assessed with pharmacoeconomic methods was undertaken in this study. The study term was 24 months (12 months for the intervention and 12 months for follow up). Four hundred participants, recruited from four cities in China: Beijing, Tianjin, Xian, and Naning, were randomized to the treatment group (JQJT tablets) and the control group (placebo). Participants included in this study had been diagnosed with prediabetes according to the criteria for western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The end-point effectiveness indexes included the incidence of diabetes and the reversion rate. The drug costs and lifestyle intervention costs were included in the total costs.

Introduction A gap exists in the scholarly field of research ethics in which the conduct of biohackers (often in their garages) is dismissed as a non-scientific phenomenon[i]. Bio-hacks like ex-NASA scientist Josiah Zayner’s attempts to make muscles grow bigger by using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system to disrupt the myostatin gene, with himself as research subject, did not pass through any of the usual institutionalised ethical gatekeepers[ii]. Some argue biohacking, which includes the unauthorized or unethical exploitation or altering of genetic material experimentally, is against the law and therefore has nothing to do with research ethics nor IRBs.[iii] In 2009, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) joined forces with unusual allies[iv]: biohackers. The FBI did this by hosting them at the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) with the goal of educating and building a network between the U.S. Government and the biohacking community[v]. Biohackers should fall within the scope of research ethics boards, known as the “ethics police,” [vi] regardless of FBI involvement in reeling them in if they break the law. It may even be argued that the bioethical principles, often discussed in research ethics, may align with the goals of biohackers. Both bioethicists and biohackers argue that equitable access and justice should be pursued, however, the means by which this is achieved differs greatly. Bioethicist and journalist, Alex Pearlman, is leading a project to help biohackers set-up their own norms.[vii] This paper argues that ethical conduct of biohackers falls within the broad scope of research ethics, with special consideration of practical implications and recommendations. Biohacking refers to any form of optimising or improving one’s body or mind and is part of synthetic biology and the DIY (do-it-yourself) community.[viii] The human augmentation market is estimated to grow to $2.3 billion by 2025.[ix] Considering these numbers, biohacking is not an irritating fad, it is a distinct trend. Social phenomena do not exist in isolation; they are influenced by cultural and political values.[x] Their conduct implies a general disregard for authoritative powers and a desperate attempt to democratize science[xi] and the clinical applications thereof, making it accessible for all. The conduct of biohackers should be considered scientific research. Biohacking forms part of general scientific inquiry and consequently falls within the Ethos of Science.[xii] Although biohackers generally operate in the privacy of their homes or online, many first gathered in 2003 for iGEM at Massachusetts Institute for Technology.[xiii] In 2011, 165 teams took part in the competition, and in 2012 a High School and Entrepreneurship Division were added.[xiv] The projects ranged from “…rainbow pigmented bacteria and banana smelling bacteria to an arsenic biosensor”.[xv] Today, communities such as Biobricks offer online education and training, and Genspace (NYC) offers a community biolab.[xvi] II. Background: Shifting paradigm Scientific inquiry is indebted to Greek Philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, who used reason rather than myths and stories to explain the world around them. Today, the academic publishing industry is worth billions, driven by the exponential accumulation of data.[xvii] Research, includes all basic, applied, and demonstrated research.[xviii]Research records such as progress reports, journal articles, and laboratory records make up the facts resulting from scientific inquiry. During the development of science there was a shift from open science (consider the Wright brothers who produced the first successful airplane), to a centralized institutionalization of science. Furthermore, the foundations upon which ethical scientific research were built are a “…complex of values and norms which is held to be binding on the man of science”.[xix] The norms t","url":"https://doi.org/10.7916/vib.v6i.5898","authors":["Castelyn, Camille"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.7916/vib.v6i.5898","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.627Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.627Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4824989","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine for Cardiovascular Disease: Efficacy and Safety","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4824989","authors":["Lin Youwei","Yuanshan Han","Yuhong Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-21T10:13:59Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4824989","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2024.136194","name":"Research Progress on the Treatment of Chronic Wounds with Traditional Chinese Medicine External Therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2024.136194","authors":["永淳 田"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-27T04:23:54Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2024.136194","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medsc.2024.050117","name":"Research Progress on Regulating Intestinal Microbiota with Traditional Chinese Medicine to Treat Digestive System Tumors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medsc.2024.050117","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-09T11:02:17Z","doi":"10.23977/medsc.2024.050117","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4700913","name":"Opportunities and Challenges of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Artificial Intelligence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4700913","authors":["Tianwei Yang","Jianchun Leng","Xiang Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-24T22:23:00Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4700913","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.04.006","name":"Intelligent question answering system for traditional Chinese medicine based on BSG deep learning model: taking prescription and Chinese materia medica as examples","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.04.006","authors":["Ran Li","Gao Ren","Junfeng Yan","Beiji Zou","Qingping Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-02T03:26:24Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.04.006","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/agriculture14010149","name":"Improving Walnut Images Segmentation Using Modified UNet3+ Algorithm","source":"crossref","abstract":"When aiming at the problems such as missed detection or misdetection of recognizing green walnuts in the natural environment directly by using target detection algorithms, a method is proposed based on improved UNet3+ for green walnut image segmentation, which incorporates the channel and spatial attention mechanism CBAM (convolutional block attention module) and cross-entropy loss function (cross-entropy loss) into the UNet3+ network structure, and introduces the five-layer CBAM in the encoder module to construct the improved UNet3+ network model.

ferroptosis, is distinct in cellular morphology, biochemical characteristics, and genetic characteristics from apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. Its mechanisms primarily encompass iron overload, lipid peroxidation, and amino acid metabolisms. Extensive research confirms that ferroptosis is linked to the onset and progression of various diseases that pose a threat to the central nervous system (CNS), offering new directions and targets for the mechanistic study and pharmacotherapy of CNS diseases. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), encompassing herbal medicines (extracts, compound formulations, injections, etc.), acupuncture, and moxibustion, boasts advantages over other treatments, such as multi-pathway and multi-target approaches and high safety. TCM has also demonstrated good efficacy in treating CNS diseases. Numerous studies indicate that TCM can modulate ferroptosis to treat CNS diseases, showing promising research prospects. This paper briefly outlines the pathways and mechanisms of ferroptosis and systematically summarizes the current status and progress of TCM in regulating various CNS diseases through the ferroptosis pathway, providing new insights and directions for future TCM treatments of CNS diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x24500770","authors":["Zhiyu Zhou","Yajun Yu","Jingchao Miao","Guan Wang","Yixi Wang","Tianlin Wang","Hongchang Ji","Lijun Tan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-19T06:17:23Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x24500770","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000040720","name":"Network pharmacology and molecular docking identified IL-6 as a critical target of Qing Yan He Ji against COVID-19","source":"crossref","abstract":"Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, although have controlled, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is constantly mutating and affects people’s health. FDA has approved Paxlovid and Molnupiravir for COVID-19 treatment, however, they have not been approved for children under 12 years old. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new drugs for treating COVID-19 in children. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Qing Yan He Ji (QYHJ) has been widely used as an antiviral in our hospital. Therefore, we presumed that it may be ideal for treating COVID-19 and explored its therapeutic effect in patients with COVID-19. The targets and underlying mechanisms of QYHJ against COVID-19 in children were investigated using bioinformatics. QYHJ target sets, and related target genes of COVID-19 were retrieved from public databases. Subsequently, gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed to investigate the potential mechanism of QYHJ against COVID-19. Finally, molecular docking was carried out to analyze the affinity between the effective molecule and the target protein. A total of 15 bioactive ingredients of QYHJ and 111 predicted potential targets of QYHJ against COVID-19 were screened. A protein–protein interaction network and subnetworks identified 21 core target genes. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis indicated that QYHJ functions against COVID-19 primarily through antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. Molecular docking of interleukin-6 (IL-6) revealed that 5 active compounds had relatively stable binding activities with IL-6. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed for molecular docking results, showing IL-6–(4aS,6aR,6aS,6bR,8aR,10R,12aR,14bS)-10-hydroxy-2,2,6a,6b,9,9,12a-heptamethyl-1,3,4,5,6,6a,7,8,8a,10,11,12,13,14b-tetradecahydropicene-4a-carboxylic acid (4aS) complex, IL-6–stigmasterol complex, IL-6–poriferasterol complex, IL-6–sitosterol complex, and IL-6–beta-sitosterol complex had relatively good binding stability. In conclusion, the multi-component and multi-target intervention of QYHJ against COVID-19 is closely related to antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical application.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000040720","authors":["Lijuan Xiong","Qiang Chen","Hong Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-29T21:01:58Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000040720","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18240/ijo.2024.03.02","name":"Artificial intelligence for the detection of glaucoma with SD-OCT images: a systematic review and Meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"AIM: To quantify the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting glaucoma with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images. METHODS: Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Cochrane Library were searched before May 31, 2023 which adopted AI for glaucoma detection with SD-OCT images. All pieces of the literature were screened and extracted by two investigators. Meta-analysis, Meta-regression, subgroup, and publication of bias were conducted by Stata16.0. The risk of bias assessment was performed in Revman5.4 using the QUADAS-2 tool. RESULTS: Twenty studies and 51 models were selected for systematic review and Meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.91 (95%CI: 0.86–0.94, I2=94.67%), 0.90 (95%CI: 0.87–0.92, I2=89.24%). The pooled positive likelihood ratio (PLR) and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) were 8.79 (95%CI: 6.93–11.15, I2=89.31%) and 0.11 (95%CI: 0.07–0.16, I2=95.25%).

anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties, as well as its activities against kidney deficiency and impotence. In this study, we aimed to explore the anti-CRC cancer effect and molecular mechanism of CF via network pharmacology and in vitro antitumor experiments. Methods: Network pharmacology was used to investigate the anti-CRC mechanism of CF. First, a series of databases was used to screen the active phytochemical targets and anti-CRC core targets. Then, the GO and KEGG pathways were analyzed to predict possible mechanisms. Molecular docking analysis explore core targets-phytochemicals interactions. In vitro antitumor experiments were carried on verifying anti-CRC mechanism of CF. Results: In this study, 20 active ingredient targets and 50 intersecting targets were analyzed by Cytoscape software 3.9.1 to obtain the core genes and phytochemicals. Then, the GO and KEGG pathways of 50 intersecting targets were analyzed to predict possible mechanisms. The results from GO and KEGG indicated that CF has significant antitumor efficacy, which involves many signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT and p53. The five core targets and five core phytochemicals were screened for molecular docking to show protein-ligand interactions. According to the results of molecular docking, the compound O-acetylcolumbianetin was selected for the anti- CRC functional verification in vitro. MTT assay showed that O-acetylcolumbianetin significantly inhibited the proliferation of colorectal HCT116 cells in a time- and quantity-dependent manner. O-acetylcolumbianetin can promote the expression of CASP3 protein, induce HCT116 cells apoptosis, thus exert anti-CRC effect. Conclusion: This study preliminarily verified the anti-CRC effect and molecular mechanism of CF and provided a reference for Traditional Chinese Medicine anti-tumor subsequent research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0113862073273396231010102606","authors":["Zhihui Wei","Xiaoyun Zhang","Antang Peng","Chenxu Liu","Jianying Pang","Yajing Zhang","Xuhong Duan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-19T19:01:39Z","doi":"10.2174/0113862073273396231010102606","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.09.005","name":"An interpretability model for syndrome differentiation of HBV-ACLF in traditional Chinese medicine using small-sample imbalanced data","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.09.005","authors":["Zhou Zhan","Peng Qinghua","Xiao Xiaoxia","Zou Beiji","Liu Bin","Guo Shuixia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-01T20:48:04Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2024.09.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0044-1790539","name":"Correlation Between Granulomatous Mastitis and Autoimmune Function and the Immune-regulating Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a benign granulomatous condition, and its pathogenesis may be related to autoimmune disorders.

The disease can recur frequently and tends to form tophus in the joints. Current therapeutic drugs for the acute phase of GA have many side effects and limitations, are unable to prevent recurrent GA attacks and tophus formation, and overall efficacy is unsatisfactory. Therefore, we need to advance research on the microscopic mechanism of GA and seek safer and more effective drugs through relevant targets to block the GA disease process. Current research shows that the pathogenesis of GA is closely related to NLRP3 inflammation, oxidative stress, MAPK, NET, autophagy, and Ferroptosis. However, after synthesizing and sorting out the above mechanisms, it is found that the presence of ROS is throughout almost the entire spectrum of micro-mechanisms of the gout disease process, which combines multiple immune responses to form a large network diagram of complex and tight connections involved in the GA disease process. Current studies have shown that inflammation, oxidative stress, cell necrosis, and pathological signs of GA in GA joint tissues can be effectively suppressed by modulating ROS network-related targets. In this article, on the one hand, we investigated the generative mechanism of ROS network generation and its association with GA. On the other hand, we explored the potential of related targets for the treatment of gout and the prevention of tophus formation, which can provide effective reference ideas for the development of highly effective drugs for the treatment of GA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biom14080978","authors":["Sai Zhang","Daocheng Li","Mingyuan Fan","Jiushu Yuan","Chunguang Xie","Haipo Yuan","Hongyan Xie","Hong Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-09T09:48:54Z","doi":"10.3390/biom14080978","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4734276","name":"Verbal Engagement in Doctor-Patient Interaction:Resonance in Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4734276","authors":["Vittorio Tantucci","Carmen Lepadat"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-05T19:15:37Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4734276","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116471","name":"Recent advances of honokiol：pharmacological activities, manmade derivatives and structure-activity relationship","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116471","authors":["Xiuxia Li","Zhuo Yuan","Yuxia Wang","Wenjing Wang","Jianyou Shi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-30T13:47:52Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116471","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.822Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2024.1379058","name":"Ferroptosis: a new mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine for treating ulcerative colitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Ulcerative colitis (UC), a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease, manifests with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and mucopurulent, bloody stools. The pathogenesis of UC is not fully understood. At present, the incidence of UC has increased significantly around the world. Conventional therapeutic arsenals are relatively limited, with often poor efficacy and many adverse effects. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) holds promise due to their notable effectiveness, reduced recurrence rates, and minimal side effects. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the basic research on TCM for UC treatment. It has been found that the inhibition of ferroptosis through the intervention of TCM can significantly promote intestinal mucosal healing and reverse UC. The mechanism of action involves multiple targets and pathways. Aim of the review This review summarizes the experimental studies on the targeted regulation of ferroptosis by TCM and its impact on UC in recent years, aiming to provide theoretical basis for the prevention, treatment, and further drug development for UC. Results Ferroptosis disrupts antioxidant mechanisms in intestinal epithelial cells, damages the intestinal mucosa, and participates in the pathological process of UC. TCM acts on various pathways such as Nrf2 / HO-1 and GSH/GPX4, blocking the pathological progression of ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells, inhibiting pathological damage to the intestinal mucosa, and thereby alleviating UC. Conclusion The diverse array of TCM single herbs, extracts and herbal formulas facilitates selective and innovative research and development of new TCM methods for targeting UC treatment. Although progress has been made in studying TCM compound formulas, single herbs, and extracts, there are still many issues in clinical and basic experimental designs, necessitating further in-depth scientific exploration and research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2024.1379058","authors":["Yingyi Wang","Yanwei Hao","Lingling Yuan","Huaie Tian","Xuhui Sun","Yi Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-04T05:55:39Z","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2024.1379058","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s12221-024-00605-5","name":"Preparation and Application of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Chitosan Quaternary Ammonium Salt/Polyacrylamide-Based Double Network Hydrogel","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12221-024-00605-5","authors":["Juan Lei","Kunlin Chen","Yu Chen","Hua Qiu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-24T07:02:12Z","doi":"10.1007/s12221-024-00605-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/intqhc/mzae008","name":"Effects of gait adaptation training on augmented reality treadmill for patients with stroke in community ambulation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Gait adaptability is essential for stroke survivors to achieve efficient and safe community ambulation. However, conventional treadmill rehabilitation is only a repetitive practice of leg movement. This study compared the effects of augmented reality treadmill-based gait adaptation training with regular treadmill programs for patients with stroke. Forty patients with stroke (n = 40) were randomly assigned to the gait adaptation training {n = 20, age: 49.85 [standard deviation (SD) 8.44] years; onset of stroke: 107.80 (SD 48.31) days} and regular training [n = 20, age: 50.75 (SD 8.05) years, onset of stroke: 111.60 (SD 49.62) days] groups. Both groups completed three sessions of training per week for 5 weeks (15 sessions). The primary outcomes were the 10-m walk test and success rate of obstacle avoidance, while secondary outcomes included the Berg balance scale, component timed-up-and-go, and fall rate in a 6-month follow-up period. Assessments were performed before and after the intervention. The paired t-test was applied to compare the differences within groups and independent sample t-test was performed to compare the differences between groups. The 10-m walk test, success rate of obstacle avoidance, Berg balance scale, and component timed-up-and-go all significantly improved in the both groups (P < .001). The success rate of obstacle avoidance [P = .02, 95% confidence interval (CI): −21.07, −1.64], Berg Balance Scale (P = .02, 95% CI: −8.03, −0.67), ‘turning around time’ (P = .04, 95% CI: 0.08, 2.81), ‘stand-to-sit’ (P = .03, 95% CI: 0.16, 2.41) and ‘total time’ (P = .048, 95% CI: 0.04, 10.32) improved significantly in gait adaptation training group after intervention, while the 10-m walk test (P = .09, 95% CI: −0.17, 0.01), timed ‘sit-to-stand’ (P = .09, 95% CI: −0.14, 2.04), and ‘linear walking’ (P = .09, 95% CI: −0.27, 3.25) in gait adaptation training group did not show statistical difference compared to the regular training group. Total fall rate during the follow-up period was statistically decreased in the gait adaptation training group (P = .045). Both interventions improved mobility outcomes, with augmented reality treadmill-based gait adaptation indicating greater improvement in obstacle avoidance, balance, turning, and stand-to-sit. Augmented reality treadmill-based gait adaptation training emerges as an effective and promising intervention for patients with stroke in early rehabilitation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/intqhc/mzae008","authors":["Hang Yang","Zhenzhen Gao","Ye Zhou","Zhenyi Liao","Caiping Song","Yajun Mao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-09T06:04:46Z","doi":"10.1093/intqhc/mzae008","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100503","name":"A call to action: Addressing the knowledge gap in traditional Chinese medicine's role against acral lentiginous melanoma","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100503","authors":["Amin Sharifan","Sarena Saee","Soheila Saee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-03T06:55:09Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100503","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/horticulturae11060627","name":"Comprehensive Transcriptomics, Hormone Metabolomics, and Physiological Analysis Reveal the Mechanism of Exogenous GA4+7 Breaking the Seed Dormancy in Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua","source":"crossref","abstract":"Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua (P. cyrtonema) is a medicinal plant with high pharmaceutical value. Due to morphological and physiological dormancy mechanisms in P. cyrtonema seeds, natural germination rates remain exceptionally low. This biological constraint necessitates the development of protocols to shorten germination timelines and improve germination efficiency, which are critical requirements for advancing P. cyrtonema breeding programs. In this study, exogenous gibberellin A4 + A7 (GA4+7) was applied to break dormancy in P. cyrtonema seeds. Transcriptomic, hormone metabolomic, and physiological analyses were then employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Germination tests revealed that 50 mg·L−1 GA4+7 was the optimal concentration to break dormancy in P. cyrtonema seeds. Transcriptome analysis indicated that exogenous GA4+7 induced the expression of genes involved in GA and ABA biosynthesis and signaling. A total of 19 differential hormone metabolites were identified through hormone metabolomics, with significantly increased levels of active GA1 and GA4, but decreased levels of ABA content. These findings were consistent with the up-regulation of transcript levels of GA biosynthesis-related genes and the down-regulation of ABA biosynthesis-related genes, which resulted in an increase in active GA/ABA ratio. At the same time, it was found that exogenous GA4+7 treatment induced sucrose and starch metabolism and pectin catabolic pathways. We measured the relevant physiological indicators and found that the content of soluble sugar and α-amylase activity increased, but the pectin content decreased. These findings establish a theoretical foundation for applying GA4+7 in the standardized production of P. cyrtonema, particularly for accelerating breeding cycles in medicinal germplasm development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae11060627","authors":["Mi Qiu","Jionglan Wan","Chunxiang Hao","Zixin Zeng","Yalong Hu","Guoqun Yang","Hua Yang","Xiaoyun Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-04T03:57:34Z","doi":"10.3390/horticulturae11060627","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12943-024-02104-w","name":"Phenotypic and spatial heterogeneity of CD8+ tumour infiltrating lymphocytes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-024-02104-w","authors":["Yikan Sun","Eloy Yinwang","Shengdong Wang","Zenan Wang","Fangqian Wang","Yucheng Xue","Wenkan Zhang","Shenzhi Zhao","Haochen Mou","Shixin Chen","Lingxiao Jin","Binghao Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-09T00:02:08Z","doi":"10.1186/s12943-024-02104-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2024-0023","name":"A case report of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of Huhuo disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2024-0023","authors":["Na LI","Junyan LENG","Jun’an HE","Hong ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-06T02:02:56Z","doi":"10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2024-0023","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules31060994","name":"Integrated UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS and Liver-on-a-Chip Evaluation of Chemical Composition Changes and Hepatotoxicity Differences in Yaomu Before and After Fermentation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Huafeng Dan (HFD) is a traditional famous medicine from Guizhou Province, commonly used for the treatment of stroke-induced hemiplegia and epilepsy. Yaomu is a key component and serves as the sovereign herb in the formula. Most of the components of Yaomu are toxic Chinese herbal medicines. Traditional fermentation processing methods are required to reduce its toxicity. Purpose: Current studies have not yet systematically analyzed the chemical constituents before and after fermentation. Meanwhile, there is a lack of safety evaluation before and after the fermentation of Yaomu, which can provide a basis for safe clinical medication. Method: Chemical constituents of Yaomu before and after processing were analyzed using UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS to compare compositional changes induced by fermentation. To further screen potential toxic components, representative compounds were selected from these differential compounds based on statistical indicators (such as VIP value), low cost and easy availability, as well as criteria from the literature, and the content changes before and after fermentation were investigated. In vitro toxicity was evaluated using a microfluidic liver organ-on-a-chip model to assess the toxic effects of Yaomu extracts before and after fermentation. Results: Studies have shown that in both positive and negative ionization modes, a total of 361 compounds were annotated in unfermented Yaomu. After fermentation, a total of 350 compounds were annotated. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the chemical composition of Yaomu before and after fermentation. Quantitative analysis demonstrated that the levels of diester-type diterpenoid alkaloids were significantly reduced after fermentation, accompanied by concurrent decreases in lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) species, compared with unfermented Yaomu. In contrast, the concentrations of amino alcohol-type diterpenoid alkaloids were significantly increased. The microfluidic liver organ-on-a-chip results demonstrated that the post-fermentation extract caused significantly attenuated impairment of hepatocellular function and viability. The in vitro toxicity findings showed good concordance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules31060994","authors":["Kexin Ma","Lijun An","Guo Feng","Wei Li","Tingting Liu","Jinxin Hou","Ping Wang","Yibao Jin","Bing Wang","Xie-An Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-16T14:30:32Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules31060994","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/ijfm.2024.060401","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine Appropriate Techniques for Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia in Children","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/ijfm.2024.060401","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-29T09:59:59Z","doi":"10.25236/ijfm.2024.060401","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/ijfm.2024.060209","name":"Progress in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Research on Heart Failure with Diuretic Resistance","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/ijfm.2024.060209","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-15T06:28:27Z","doi":"10.25236/ijfm.2024.060209","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).09","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Chronic Atrophic Gastritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).09","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-24T11:03:33Z","doi":"10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).09","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00630","name":"Progress in Identification of UDP-Glycosyltransferases for Ginsenoside Biosynthesis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00630","authors":["Xiaoxuan Yuan","Ruiqiong Li","Weishen He","Wei Xu","Wen Xu","Guohong Yan","Shaohua Xu","Lixia Chen","Yaqian Feng","Hua Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-07T00:34:59Z","doi":"10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00630","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).13","name":"Exploration and Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine External Application Therapy for Gouty Arthritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).13","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-24T11:03:33Z","doi":"10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).13","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.31083/j.rcm2507269","name":"Global Epidemiologic Trends and Projections to 2030 in Non-Rheumatic Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease from 1990 to 2019: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: No studies have updated the epidemiologic changes in non-rheumatic degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) since 2019, thus this study utilized data from the Global Study of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2019 (GBD2019) to assess the burden of DMVD in 204 countries and territories over the period 1990–2019, as well as changes in the prevalence, incidence, deaths and changes in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Methods: Using the results from the GBD2019, analyzing the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs rates, as well as their age-standardized rates (ASR). Based on the human development index (HDI), the socio-demographic index (SDI), age, and sex. Results: In 2019, there were 24.229 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 23.081–25.419 million) existing cases of DMVD worldwide, with 1.064 million (95% UI 1.010–1.122 million) new cases and 0.034 million (95% UI 0.028–0.043 million) deaths, and 0.883 million (95% UI 0.754–1.092 million) disability-adjusted life years. The incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs of DMVD and their ASR showed significant differences across sex, age groups, regions, and countries from 1990 to 2019. It is projected that by 2030, the incidence of DMVD in females will be 0.72 million with an ASR of 15.59 per 100,000 population, 0.51 million in males with an ASR of 11.75 per 100,000 population, and a total incidence of 1.23 million with an ASR of 14.03 per 100,000 population. Conclusions: DMVD remains a significant public health problem that cannot be ignored, despite a decreasing trend in the ASR of global incidence, prevalence, deaths and DALYs from 1990 to 2019. However, we note an adverse development trend in countries with low socio-demographic indexes and seriously aging societies, and sex inequality is particularly prominent. This indicates the need to reposition current prevention and treatment strategies, with some national health administrations developing corresponding strategies for preventing an increase in DMVD based on local health, education, economic conditions, sex differences, and age differences.","url":"https://doi.org/10.31083/j.rcm2507269","authors":["Chengmei Wang","Menglin Song","Hao Chen","Pan Liang","Gang Luo","Wei Ren","Sijin Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26T09:33:35Z","doi":"10.31083/j.rcm2507269","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/fmsr.2024.060701","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine Tuina in Chronic Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/fmsr.2024.060701","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-24T06:28:29Z","doi":"10.25236/fmsr.2024.060701","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-99-8791-7_9","name":"Aesthetic Methodology of Traditional Chinese Aesthetics","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8791-7_9","authors":["Zhixiang Qi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-02T14:03:57Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-99-8791-7_9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5246/jcps.2024.04.022","name":"Advances of nano-targeted drug delivery systems in traditional Chinese medicine anticancer therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5246/jcps.2024.04.022","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-08T01:42:51Z","doi":"10.5246/jcps.2024.04.022","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(03).24","name":"Research Progress on Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Intestinal Microflora in Hyperuricemia","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(03).24","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-02T13:17:40Z","doi":"10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(03).24","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/jcmm.18240","name":"Electroacupuncture suppresses neuronal ferroptosis to relieve chronic neuropathic pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Growing evidence supports the analgesic efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in managing chronic neuropathic pain (NP) in both patients and NP models induced by peripheral nerve injury. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Ferroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, has been found to be activated during NP development, while EA has shown potential in promoting neurological recovery following acute cerebral injury by targeting ferroptosis. In this study, to investigate the detailed mechanism underlying EA intervention on NP, male Sprague‐Dawley rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI)‐induced NP model received EA treatment at acupoints ST36 and GV20 for 14 days. Results demonstrated that EA effectively attenuated CCI‐induced pain hypersensitivity and mitigated neuron damage and loss in the spinal cord of NP rats. Moreover, EA reversed the oxidative stress‐mediated spinal ferroptosis phenotype by upregulating reduced expression of xCT, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and downregulating increased expression of acyl‐CoA synthetase long‐chain family member 4 (ACSL4), malondialdehyde levels and iron overload. Furthermore, EA increased the immunofluorescence co‐staining of GPX4 in neurons cells of the spinal cord of CCI rats. Mechanistic analysis unveiled that the inhibition of antioxidant pathway of Nrf2 signalling via its specific inhibitor, ML385, significantly countered EA's protective effect against neuronal ferroptosis in NP rats while marginally diminishing its analgesic effect. These findings suggest that EA treatment at acupoints ST36 and GV20 may protect against NP by inhibiting neuronal ferroptosis in the spinal cord, partially through the activation of Nrf2 signalling.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.18240","authors":["Chunchun Xue","Wenyun Kui","Aiping Huang","Yanan Li","Lingxing Li","Zhen Gu","Lei Xie","Shuyi Kong","Jun Yu","Hongfeng Ruan","Kaiqiang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-21T02:47:00Z","doi":"10.1111/jcmm.18240","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:00.823Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/md22080345","name":"Prokaryotic Expression, Purification, and Biological Properties of a Novel Bioactive Protein (PFAP-1) from Pinctada fucata","source":"crossref","abstract":"Pinctada fucata meat is the main by-product of the pearl harvesting industry. It is rich in nutrition, containing a lot of protein and peptides, and holds significant value for both medicine and food. In this study, a new active protein was discovered and expressed heterogeneously through bioinformatics analysis. It was then identified using Western blot, molecular weight, and mass spectrometry. The antibacterial activity, hemolysis activity, antioxidant activity, and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme II (ACE2) inhibitory activity were investigated. An unknown functional protein was screened through the Uniprot protein database, and its primary structure did not resemble existing proteins. It was an α-helical cationic polypeptide we named PFAP-1. The codon-optimized full-length PFAP-1 gene was synthesized and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a. The induced expression conditions were determined with a final isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG) concentration of 0.2 mM, an induction temperature of 15 °C, and an induction time of 16 h. The recombinant PFAP-1 protein, with low endotoxin and sterility, was successfully prepared. The recombinant PFAP-1 protein exhibited strong antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro, and the diameter of the inhibition zone was 15.99 ± 0.02 mm. Its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were 37.5 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL, respectively, and its hemolytic activity was low (11.21%) at the bactericidal concentration. The recombinant PFAP-1 protein significantly inhibited the formation of MRSA biofilm and eradicated MRSA biofilm. It also demonstrated potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 40.83 μg/mL. The IC50 of ACE2 inhibition was 5.66 μg/mL. Molecular docking results revealed that the optimal docking fraction of PFAP-1 protein and ACE2 protein was −267.78 kcal/mol, with a confidence level of 0.913. The stable binding complex was primarily formed through nine groups of hydrogen bonds, three groups of salt bridges, and numerous hydrophobic interactions. In conclusion, recombinant PFAP-1 can serve as a promising active protein in food, cosmetics, or medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/md22080345","authors":["Peng Liu","Wenyue Li","Jianbing

Brief Review of Natural Products with Urate Transporter 1 Inhibition for the Treatment of Hyperuricemia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Hyperuricemia is a common disease caused by a high level of uric acid. Urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is an important protein and mediates approximately 90% of uric acid reabsorption. Therefore, the URAT1 inhibitor is a class of uricosuric medicines widely used in the clinic for the treatment of hyperuricemia. To find the new medicine with stronger URAT1 inhibition and lower toxicity, researchers have been exploring natural products. This study systematically summarizes the natural products with URAT1 inhibition. The results show that many natural products are potential URAT1 inhibitors, such as flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, coumarins, stilbenes, and steroids, among which flavonoids are the most promising source of URAT1 inhibitors. It is worth noting that most studies have focused on finding natural products with inhibition of URAT1 and have not explored their activities and mechanisms toward URAT1. By reviewing the few existing studies of the structure-activity relationship and analyzing common features of natural products with URAT1 inhibition, we speculate that the rigid ring structure and negative charge may be the keys for natural products to produce URAT1 inhibition. In conclusion, natural products are potential URAT1 inhibitors, and exploring the mechanism of action and structure-activity relationship will be an important research direction in the future.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/5419890","authors":["Qianghua Yuan","Yuan Cheng","Rong Sheng","Yan Yuan","Mei Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-28T19:05:10Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/5419890","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60053-4","name":"Acupuncture Treatment of Heel Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60053-4","authors":["Jin-sheng HU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-06-11T05:03:14Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60053-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30314890","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

It is found in many plants, such as apple leaves, lychee pericarp, and begonia, and has various biological activities, such as antioxidant and anticancer effects. The strong hydrogen bonding between Phl molecules results in poor water solubility and low bioavailability, and thus the scope of the clinical application of Phl is limited. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the water solubility of Phl for its use to further combat or alleviate skin aging and oxidative damage and develop antioxidant products for the skin. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a phloretin transfersome gel (PTG) preparation for transdermal drug delivery to improve the bioavailability of the drug and delay aging. Methods: Phloretin transfersomes (Phl-TFs) were prepared and optimized by the thin-film dispersion–ultrasonication method. Phl-TFs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Log P method was used to determine the solubility of the Phl-TFs. The skin penetration ability of the prepared PTG was evaluated using the Franz diffusion cell method. In addition, the in vivo pharmacokinetics of PTG were studied in rats, and an antioxidant activity investigation was conducted using a D-gal rat model. Results: Phl-TFs were successfully prepared with a Soybean Phosphatidylcholine (SPC)/CHOL ratio of 2.7:1 w/v, a phloretin concentration of 1.3 mg/mL, a hydration time of 46 min, an ultrasound time of 5 min, and an ultrasound power of 180 W. The Log P was 2.26, which was significantly higher than that of phloretin (p < 0.05, paired t test). The results of the in vitro penetration test demonstrated that the cumulative skin penetration of the Phl-TFs after 24 h was 842.73 ± 20.86 μg/cm2. The data from an in vivo pharmacokinetic study showed that the Cmax and AUC of PTG were 1.39- and 1.97-fold higher than those of the phloretin solution gel (PSG), respectively (p < 0.05, paired t test). The experimental results in aging rats showed that PTG had a better antioxidant effect. Conclusions: Phl-TFs and PTG preparations with a good shape, safety, and stability were successfully prepared. In vivo pharmacokinetics and preliminary antioxidant experiments further verified the transdermal penetration and antioxidant activity of the phloretin transdermal drug delivery preparation, providing an experimental basis for its further development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules28196790","authors":["Jiawen Wang","Yuanyuan Zhao","Bingtao Zhai","Jiangxue Cheng","Jing Sun","Xiaofei Zhang","Dongyan Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-24T10:48:31Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules28196790","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12913-023-09880-z","name":"A situational analysis of human resource and non-communicable diseases management for community health workers in Chengdu, China: a cross-sectional study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a major challenge to health economic cost and residents’ health status. Community health workers (CHWs) are the gatekeeper of primary health care. Objective This study aimed to conduct a situational analysis of current human resource and requirements of NCDs-related training among CHWs in Chengdu with regard to address to understand the suggestions for improvement of challenges and barriers. Methods A descriptive online cross-sectional survey was conducted among CHWs (doctors and nurses) from 23 districts and counties in Chengdu. Sociodemographic and NCDs-related variables were collected. Univariate analysis and multiple response analysis were used to describe the characteristics of these variables. Results 711 doctors and 637 nurses completely responded. There were significant differences among gender, age, educational levels, professional title, working year, type of institution, urban circle and registration in general practice between doctors and nurses ( P < 0.001). 60.6% of doctors were female, compared to 98.0% for nurses. 58.2% of doctors held a bachelor’s degree compared with 45.4% of nurses, while 48.3% of nurses held a junior college degree compared with 25.7% of doctors. Higher levels of professional title and registration in general practice were found in doctors compared with nurses. The proportions of NCDs’ category, NCDs-related roles and tasks, NCDs-related training contents and forms that CHWs have attend and hoped to gain more were significantly different between doctors and nurses ( P < 0.001). In general, the proportions in nurses were much lower than those of doctors ( P < 0.05). The top five diseases managed by CHWs were hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases and mental diseases. The five most reported roles performed among doctors included the distribution of health education (91.4%), following up (85.9%), establishing archives (71.3%), medicine adjustment (64.7%) and treatment implementation (52.0%). The top three diseases managed by nurses were same with doctors. The top four and five tasks were contact with patients or health services (39.6%) and referral (16.6%) in nurses. Most CHWs had received primary and common diseases-related trainings, but they had few opportunities to study in a tertiary hospital (40.4% in doctors and 20.9% in nurses, respectively), attend domestic academic conferences (26.9% in doctors vs. 9.7% in nurses), and take part in training courses (44.9% in nurses). CHWs hoped that the above-discussed training contents and forms could be provided more in the future. Besides basic skills related trainings, some specific skills related trainings should be strengthened. Conclusion The qualifications in doctors were much better than those of nurses. The roles performed by CHWs in NCDs management are varied form common and frequent disease management to subsequent follow up and supervision. CHWs hope to receive more desired and oriented trainings. There is a need for building capacity of CHWs, optimizing and defining CHWs’ role, facilitating postgraduate medical education support and strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration would be effective in NCDs management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-023-09880-z","authors":["Jinhua Chen","Guo Yu","Wei Li","Chunyan Yang","Xiaoping Ye","Dan Wu","Yijun Wang","Wen Du","Zhu Xiao","Shuqin Zeng","Honglin Luo","Xiuhua Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-10-13T10:02:30Z","doi":"10.1186/s12913-023-09880-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.02.002","name":"Annual meeting of the Japan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association: Quantifying and objectifying traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.02.002","authors":["Koh Iwasaki","Takao Namiki","Mitsuyuki Takamura","Tetsuhiro Yoshino","Shin Takayama","Kaoru Sakatani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-05-12T23:31:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.02.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/b000000227","name":"Chinese Nutrition Therapy: Dietetics in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/b000000227","authors":["Kastner ."],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-15T17:18:55Z","doi":"10.1055/b000000227","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/9781849737852-00001","name":"Chapter 1.

However, prolonged DEX use induces adverse effects, including immunosuppression and metabolic disruptions. Tocilizumab (TCZ), a humanized monoclonal antibody with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, may enhance therapeutic efficacy while minimizing DEX-related toxicities. Herein, we evaluate a combined therapeutic strategy integrating TCZ with a reduced DEX dose (TCZ + DEX) for asthma management. In lung epithelial cells subjected to hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress, TCZ + DEX improved cell viability, reduced apoptosis, and supported proliferative activity, thereby attenuating oxidative and inflammatory injury. The combination therapy also decreased reactive oxygen species levels, preserved mitochondrial membrane potential, and modulated cell cycle-related gene expression, suggesting protection against oxidative stress–induced bronchial epithelial injury and reversal of DEX-mediated cell cycle arrest. In an ovalbumin-induced asthma model, TCZ + DEX improved lung function, reduced airway inflammation, and attenuated airway remodeling, achieving efficacy comparable to standard-dose DEX despite reduced steroid exposure. Mechanistically, TCZ + DEX was associated with suppression of the nuclear factor kappa B–related inflammatory signaling, thereby attenuating proinflammatory cytokine production. These findings provide preclinical evidence that TCZ + DEX offers a practical and safer therapeutic strategy for asthma, mitigating GC-associated adverse effects and providing insights into novel approaches for other chronic inflammatory diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12931-025-03458-5","authors":["Xinyi Li","Jingyi Zhang","Yihui Feng","Qihui Zhou","Chunling

embryonic factor (TEF) plays an important role in several different processes in normal human cells; however, its function in malignant cells has not been fully elucidated. Materials and methods The mRNA levels of TEF in 408 bladder cancer (BC) samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analysed in depth. Next, the expression of TEF in 7 BC cell lines was compared to that in normal bladder epithelial cells. The cell count, colony formation and anchorage‐independent growth assays as well as a nude mouse xenograft model were utilized to examine the effects of TEF on proliferation and tumorigenesis. Immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometry analysis and treatment with an AKT inhibitor were performed to explore the molecular regulation mechanisms of TEF in BC. Results Analysis of TCGA data indicated that TEF mRNA was decreased in BC samples compared to that in normal bladder epithelial cells and correlated with the poor survival of BC patients. Additional experiments verified that the mRNA and protein expression of TEF were significantly decreased in BC cells compared to that in normal bladder epithelial cells. Upregulation of TEF expression significantly retarded BC cell growth by inhibiting the G1/S transition via regulating AKT/FOXOs signalling. Conclusion Our results suggest that TEF might play an important role in suppressing BC cells proliferation and tumorigenesis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cpr.12560","authors":["Jianan Yang","Bin Wang","Han Chen","Xuhong Chen","Jing Li","Yanfei Chen","Daozhang Yuan","Shunsheng Zheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-12-05T03:13:54Z","doi":"10.1111/cpr.12560","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5428/pcar20180402","name":"Development of the software system for traditional Chinese medicine prescription analysis and comment","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5428/pcar20180402","authors":["Ming YANG","Xin ZHOU","LiWen XU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-09-05T23:13:17Z","doi":"10.5428/pcar20180402","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30337322","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Many diseases are related to the imbalances in the gut microbiota. Accumulating evidence shows that traditional Chinese medicine herbs may prevent or treat some diseases through interacting with gut microbiota. Oral administration of Chinese herbs may change the composition of intestinal flora, and the ingredients in Chinese herbs can be catalyzed into bioactive metabolites by some intestinal microbes, resulting in their pharmacological effects. However, the interaction between Chinese herbs and gut microbiota remains unclear. One of the main challenges is the complexity and diversity of the components of Chinese herbs and intestinal flora. Recently, the correction among diseases, gut microbiota, and Chinese herbs through many methodologies are studied by using novel methods and techniques, such as high-throughput gene sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR, and metabolomics analysis as well as the multivariate data statistics. In the future, the clarified mechanism will open a new avenue for the prevention or treatment of diseases by taking Chinese herbs which regulate the composition of gut microbiota, which may achieve the goals of the personalized medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23880/aabsc-16000133","authors":["Zheng Yuan Su"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-28T11:29:58Z","doi":"10.23880/aabsc-16000133","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7717/peerj.13481/supp-1","name":"Supplemental Information 1: The active components of QLD in six herbs were identified by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.13481/supp-1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-06-27T03:24:02Z","doi":"10.7717/peerj.13481/supp-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789812565860_0004","name":"The Rationale of Combination Drug Formulas in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789812565860_0004","authors":["Jie Wang","Lin-guo Zhang","Wei Jia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-19T03:55:28Z","doi":"10.1142/9789812565860_0004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789811245930_0011","name":"ECZEMA, FOOD ALLERGY, AND TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) THERAPY","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789811245930_0011","authors":["Johnathan Neshiwat","Xiu-Min Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-07-26T07:13:19Z","doi":"10.1142/9789811245930_0011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30145-x","name":"Oxalate contents of commonly used Chinese medicinal herbs","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30145-x","authors":["James Huang","Chris Huang","Michael Liebman"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-10-18T21:22:40Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30145-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60042-9","name":"Research ideas and strategies on the dose-effect relationship of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and herbs","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60042-9","authors":["Shi-huan TANG","Jian-xin CHEN","Yan-ping WANG","Ling WANG","Hong-jun YANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-04-24T16:18:13Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60042-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60019-4","name":"TCM Treatment for Gynaecological Diseases - Irregular Menstruation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60019-4","authors":["Engin CAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-01-11T04:57:17Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60019-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30281263u","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

Methods A total of 488 pregnant women at 24–28 weeks of gestation between January 2019 and December 2020 were included. Demographic characteristics, dietary intake, and multivitamin supplement intake information were collected using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ); fasting venous blood samples were collected for serum index detection. Serum homocysteine (Hcy), folic acid, and B12 were selected as response variables, and hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcy)-related dietary patterns were extracted using the reduced rank regression.. The relationship between the score of hHcy-related dietary patterns and GDM was analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results Three hHcy-related dietary patterns were extracted. Only mode 2 had a positive and significant relationship with the risk of developing GDM. After adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of GDM was significantly increased in the highest quartile array compared with the lowest quartile of the pattern (OR = 2.96, 95% Confidence Interval : 0.939–9.356, P = 0.004). There was no significant correlation between dietary pattern 1 and GDM risk ( P > 0.05). Conclusions Homocysteine-related dietary patterns were positively associated with gestational diabetes mellitus. Adjusting dietary patterns may contribute to the intervention and prevention of GDM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-022-04656-5","authors":["Yu-hong Liu","Ling-peng Lu","Min-hui Yi","Chun-yan Shen","Gu-qin Lu","Jie Jia","Hui Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-04-10T09:02:51Z","doi":"10.1186/s12884-022-04656-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60043-0","name":"Biological macro-idea and criterion of osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional mongolian medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60043-0","authors":["Namula ZHAO","Mei WANG","Xue-en LI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-04-24T16:18:49Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60043-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/9230317","name":"Exploring the Relationship between Allergic Rhinitis and Constitution Based on the “Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution Theory”","source":"crossref","abstract":"Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent allergic disease affecting individuals of all ages, especially children and adolescents. Patients with AR develop a specific immunoglobulin E antibody response to allergens, including pollen, mold, dust mites, and animal dander. The main symptoms of AR patients include nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and nasal itching. Symptoms such as these can interfere with the patient’s sleep and quality of life when they become severe. Moreover, AR contributes too many complications, can exacerbate asthma, and has a negative impact on productivity and social costs. Therefore, the current review focuses on how to treat AR effectively. This review discusses the correlation between AR and constitution from the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Constitution Theory in light of increasing research on AR in TCM. The constitution is adjustable, and adjusting the patient’s biased constitution can improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease. TCM constitution is critical in AR pathogenesis, and both are closely linked. TCM constitution theory can be applied to treat AR with positive effects, which merits popularization and application, and provides a new approach to the treatment of AR.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/9230317","authors":["Yueyu Zhang","Jie Fu","Zhongyu Zhou","Yangpu Zhang","Yingying Chen","Aiqun Song"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-08-24T22:39:31Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/9230317","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30036-4","name":"Asymptomatic stage of human immunodeficiency virus infection is the optimal timing for its management with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30036-4","authors":["Chen Xiumin","Yuan Qingting","Liu Zhibin","Yang Jiping","Xu Liran","Guo Huijun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-11T13:30:16Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30036-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30281263","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

Nevertheless, accumulating evidence confirms that early retinal neurodegeneration develops in the course of diabetes and drives early visual impairment. Multiple studies have verified that abnormal retinal neural responses frequently emerge before identifiable microvascular lesions. This review therefore systematically summarizes existing evidence confirming retinal neurodegeneration as a core, early pathological event in diabetic retinal disease (DRD), elaborates the cellular and metabolic mechanisms of neurodegeneration inside the retinal neurovascular unit (NVU), and assesses novel neuroprotective therapeutic modalities. Retinal neurodegeneration manifests prior to clinically apparent microvascular complications. NVU dysfunction, triggered by neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), excitotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction, serves as the pivotal pathway mediating neuronal injury. Notably, current vasculotropic therapies fail to effectively block early neuronal dysfunction. By comparison, neuroprotective interventions targeting oxidative stress, inflammatory cascades, glial dysfunction, deficient neurotrophic supply and mitochondrial damage exhibit promising effects on maintaining retinal neuronal architecture and function. In conclusion, retinal neurodegeneration constitutes a core pathological cascade of DR. Incorporating neuroprotective regimens into established treatment systems facilitates earlier intervention, optimizes visual function prognosis, and ultimately transforms the clinical management paradigm of DRD toward retinal neural protection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2026.08.21","authors":["Chu-Ning Wang","Hui Huang","Yun-Xi Xu","Ding-Meng Zhao","Jia-Ling Dong","He-Jiang Ye"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-16T03:06:34Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2026.08.21","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23937/2572-4010.1510019","name":"Effects of Supersession Prescription/Metformin Combination Therapy in Overweight and Obese Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23937/2572-4010.1510019","authors":["Yiyuan Zheng","Dan Fang","Miao Wang","Xiaogang Ma","Meng Xu","Songhua He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-11-03T04:50:48Z","doi":"10.23937/2572-4010.1510019","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.009","name":"History, current situation, and prospects of traditional Tibetan medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.009","authors":["Qing Jia Ren","Junjie Bai","Ni Ma Ci Ren"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-18T03:32:28Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30637-x","name":"Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine Four-diagnostic auxiliary apparatus in evaluation of health status and clinical treatment","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30637-x","authors":["Chen Tianyu","Niu Tingli","Niu Xin","Si Yingchu","Yang Xuezhi","Ma Liangxiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-08-17T14:11:21Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(18)30637-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30371412u","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

To explore the molecular network mechanism of modified Taohong Siwu Decoction (MTHSWD) to interfere with premature ovarian failure based on systematic pharmacological strategy. Methods. The network pharmacology strategy was used to explore the potential mechanism of MTHSWD intervention in POF, and then it was verified through animal experiments. Mouse zona pellucida 3 was used as an antigen to subcutaneously immunize BALB/c female mice to establish an immune POF model. Mice were divided into MTHSWD low-, medium-, and high-dose groups, positive control group, model group, and normal group. After 30 days of drug intervention, ovarian tissue was taken for pathological hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-βRII and Smad2/3 protein expression in follicular wall granular cells and ovarian tissue, respectively. Results. Network pharmacology studies have shown that MTHSWD may interfere with the TGF-β signaling pathway. Animal experimental research shows that, compared with the model group, the number of ovarian mature follicles in the MTHSWD groups and the positive group was significantly increased, and the number of atresia follicles decreased. Immunohistochemistry showed that, compared with the control group, the expression of TGF-β1, TGF-βRII, and Smad2/3 in the follicular wall granulosa cells and ovarian tissues of MTHSWD groups was significantly higher than that of the model group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. MTHSWD may improve the ovarian function of POF mice by upregulating the protein expression of granulosa cells TGF-β1, TGF-βRII, and Smad2/3.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/3044463","authors":["Xiao Yuan","Wang Xiang","Kailin Yang","Huiping Liu","Guomin Zhang","Qi He","Jiapeng Fan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-01-21T21:20:12Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/3044463","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2021/1089176","name":"Tangnaikang Alleviates Hyperglycemia and Improves Gut Microbiota in Diabetic Mice","source":"crossref","abstract":"Dysregulation of gut microbiota contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. To investigate the antidiabetic effect of Tangnaikang and its regulation of gut microbiota in diabetic KKAy mice, a type 2 diabetes mouse model was established by feeding KKAy mice with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 2 weeks. The diabetic KKAy mice were treated with vehicle, Acarbose, or different doses of Tangnaikang once a day for 8 weeks. The fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and bodyweights were measured weekly. The fecal and blood samples were collected 8 weeks after treatment. The 16s rRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were conducted to explore the effects of Tangnaikang treatment on the richness, diversity, and relative abundance of gut microbiota. Compared with other treatments, high-dose Tangnaikang (4.68 g/kg) significantly reduced FPG levels while elevating bodyweights in model mice. Compared with saline treatment, different doses of Tangnaikang significantly increased gut microbial species richness and diversity. Linear discriminant analysis effect size identified potential bacterial biomarkers associated with Tangnaikang treatment. Relative abundance analysis revealed that Tangnaikang treatment modulated the abundance of gut bacteria at the class and genus levels, such as Bacilli, Lactobacillus, and Alistipes. The principal component analysis demonstrated that, compared with the samples of the high-dose group, the samples of medium-dose and low-dose groups were closer to those of the model group.

The compound SHPL-49, a derivative of rhodioloside, was discovered by our research team and has previously demonstrated neuroprotective effects in rats with ischemic stroke. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of SHPL-49’s protective effects. Preliminary investigations revealed that SHPL-49 effectively alleviates PMCAO-induced neuroinflammation. Further studies indicated that SHPL-49 downregulates the expression of the lysosomal protein LAMP-2 and reduces lysosomal activity, impeding the fusion of lysosomes and autophagosomes, thus inhibiting excessive autophagy and increasing the expression levels of the autophagy proteins LC3-II and P62. Furthermore, SHPL-49 effectively reverses the NF-κB nuclear translocation induced by the autophagy inducer rapamycin, significantly lowering the expression levels of the inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β, and iNOS. In a co-culture system of BV2 and PC12 cells, SHPL-49 enhanced PC12 cell viability by inhibiting excessive autophagy in BV2 cells and reducing the ratio of apoptotic proteins Bax and BCL-2. The overall findings suggest that SHPL-49 exerts its neuroprotective effects through the inhibition of excessive autophagy and the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway in microglia, thereby attenuating neuroinflammation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cells14060425","authors":["Zhirui Zheng","Ruyi Wang","Yu Zhao","Pei Zhang","Dong Xie","Shoujiao Peng","Ruixiang Li","Jiange Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-13T06:53:00Z","doi":"10.3390/cells14060425","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/5114697","name":"Identification of Synovial Fibroblast-Associated Neuropeptide Genes and m6A Factors in Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Single-Cell Analysis and Machine Learning","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objectives. Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) play an important role in the development and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the pathogenic mechanism of SFs remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate how neuropeptides and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) played an important role in the underlying pathogenic processes of SFs that contribute to the development of RA. Methods. Single-cell RNA sequencing data were examined using single-cell analysis and machine learning. SF subgroups were identified based on the clustering and annotation results of the single-cell analysis. Moreover, cell–cell communication was used to analyse neuropeptide-related receptor and ligand pairs on the surface of SF cell membranes. Machine learning was used to explore the m6A factors acting on these neuropeptide genes. Results. NPR3, GHR, BDKRB2, and CALCRL, four neuropeptide genes, were shown to be differently expressed among SF subgroups. Further investigation of receptor–ligand interactions found that NPR3 (in conjunction with NPPC, OSTN, NPPB, and NPPA) and GHR (in conjunction with GH1 and GH2) may have a role in SF interactions. As predicted by machine learning, IGFBP2 and METTL3 were identified as key factors regulating m6A of NPR3 and GHR. The expression levels and enrichment pathways of METTL3 and IGFBP2 were different among SF subgroups. Conclusions. Single-cell analysis and machine learning efficiently identified neuropeptide genes and m6A factors that perform important regulatory functions in RA. Our strategy may provide a basis for future studies to identify pathogenic cell subpopulations and molecular mechanisms in RA and other diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/5114697","authors":["Jianwei Xiao","Xu Cai","Rongsheng Wang","Weijian Zhou","Zhizhong Ye"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-09T23:05:33Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/5114697","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.10.002","name":"Hua Tuo, forefather of traditional Chinese external medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.10.002","authors":["Yinghua Huang","Yongxuan Liang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-11-08T06:01:36Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2017.10.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6000/1927-3037.2016.05.02.3","name":"The Cell Regulation Mechanism of Neurovascular Unit","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.6000/1927-3037.2016.05.02.3","authors":["Rong Dai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-08-15T12:38:13Z","doi":"10.6000/1927-3037.2016.05.02.3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/bf02934420","name":"— Striving for the reprosperity of traditional chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02934420","authors":["Fu-er Lu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-17T17:17:21Z","doi":"10.1007/bf02934420","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules28166051","name":"Detection of Mildewed Nutmeg Internal Quality during Storage Using an Electronic Nose Combined with Chemical Profile Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Internal mildewed nutmeg is difficult to perceive without cutting the nutmeg open and examining it carefully, which poses a significant risk to public health. At present, macroscopic identification and chromatographic analysis are applied to determine whether nutmeg is moldy or not. However, the former relies on a human panel, with the disadvantages of subjectivity and empirical dependence, whilst the latter is generally time-consuming and requires organic solvents. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a rapid and feasible approach for evaluating the quality and predicting mildew in nutmeg. In this study, the quality and odor characteristics of five groups of nutmeg samples with different degrees of mildew were analyzed by using the responses of an electronic nose combined with chemical profiling. The main physicochemical indicators, such as the levels of α-pinene, β-pinene, elemicin, and dehydro-di-isoeugenol, were determined. The results revealed that the contents of α-pinene, β-pinene, and elemicin changed significantly with the extension of storage time. Through the use of an electronic nose and HS–GC–MS technology to assess the overall odor characteristics of nutmeg samples, it was found that the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ammonia/organic amines, carbon monoxide, ethanol, and hydrogen sulfide, as well as changes in the terpene and phenylpropene components of the nutmeg itself, may be the material basis for the changes in odor. The accuracy of the qualitative classification model for the degree of mildew in nutmeg was higher than 90% according to the electronic nose data combined with different machine learning algorithms. Quantitative models were established for predicting the contents of the chemical components, and models based on a BP neural network (BPNN), the support vector machine (SVM), and the random forest algorithm (RF) all showed good performance in predicting the concentrations of these chemical components, except for dehydro-di-isoeugenol. The BPNN performed effectively in predicting the storage time of nutmeg on the basis of the E-nose’s responses, with an RMSE and R2 of 0.268 and 0.996 for the training set, and 0.317 and 0.993 for the testing set, respectively. The results demonstrated that the responses of the electronic nose (E-nose) had a high correlation with the internal quality of nutmeg.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM), EPM may be associated with Zheng Qi Deficiency, allowing invasion by pathogenic factors, creating Qi and Blood Stagnation within the central nervous system. Stressful events may further contribute to Liver Qi Stagnation, disruption of Spleen Qi function, and progression of Deficiency and Stagnation patterns. This paper reviews the TCVM pattern diagnosis and treatment of EPM, including acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, pneumo-acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.

This paper mainly discusses the radiosensitivity of the cervical cancer protein kinase B signaling pathway and discusses the specific mechanisms that affect the occurrence and development of cervical cancer. In addition, this paper studies the effect of transient transfection knocking down the expression of TRIP4 in cervical cancer cells on the expression of key proteins in related signaling pathways and explores the mechanism of its specific effects and finds the mechanism of TRIP4’s effect on cervical cancer radiosensitivity. The findings of this study show for the first time that knocking down TRIP4 inhibits cell viability by inhibiting the P13K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways, and this corresponds to the first part of the experimental results, which show that knocking down TRIP4 inhibits colony formation and increases apoptosis in HeLa and SiHa cells. Moreover, simultaneous inhibition of TRIP4 and hTERT proteins can increase the radiosensitivity of cervical cancer cells. These findings indicate that the inhibition of TRIP4 may be a new type of treatment that selectively targets the P13K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways and hTERT pathways in cervical cancer cells and provides a therapeutic option for the treatment of cervical cancer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6350038","authors":["Yingping Zhu","Leilai Xu","Weirong Ma","Zeliang

Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a kind of digestive tract tumor that is highly malignant and has a very poor prognosis. Although both Astragalus mongholicus (AM, huáng qí) and Curcuma phaeocaulis Valeton (CPV, é zhú) can slow the onset and progression of GC, the mechanism by which AM-CPV works in the treatment of GC is uncertain. Materials and Methods. The traditional Chinese medicine network databases TCMSP, TCMID, and ETCM were used to identify the key functional components and associated targets of AM and CPV. To establish a theoretical foundation, the development of gastric cancer (GC) was predicted utilizing a GEO gene chip and TCGA difference analysis mixed with network pharmacology. A herbal-ingredient-target network and a core target-signal pathway network were created using GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. The molecular docking method was used to evaluate seventeen main targets and their compounds. Results. Cell activity, reactive oxygen species modification, metabolic regulation, and systemic immune activation may all be involved in the action mechanism of the AM-CPV drug-pair in the treatment of GC. It inhibits the calcium signaling route, the AGE-RAGE signaling system, the cAMP signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling network, and the MAPK signaling pathway, slowing the progression of GC. The number of inflammatory substances in the tumor microenvironment is reduced, GC cell proliferation is deprived, apoptosis is promoted, and GC progression is retarded through controlling the IL-17 signaling route, TNF signaling pathway, and other inflammation-related pathways. Conclusions. The AM-CPV pharmaceutical combination regulates GC treatment via a multitarget, component, and signal pathway with a cooperative and bidirectional regulatory mechanism. Its active constituents may treat GC by regulating the expression of STAT1, MMP9, IL6, HSP90AA1, JUN, CCL2, IFNG, CXCL8, and other targets, as well as activating or inhibiting immune-inflammatory and cancer signaling pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/8361431","authors":["Zixuan Wu","Xiyang Pan","Chaosheng Deng","Minjie Cai","Kai Yuan","Peidong Huang","Guoqi Shi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-03-14T22:50:30Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/8361431","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.02.001","name":"Dong Feng, earliest ancestor of apricot grove (traditional Chinese medicine)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.02.001","authors":["Yinghua Huang","Yongxuan Liang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-26T16:13:18Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.02.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60171-5","name":"Cancer incidence varies significantly depending on Sasang constitution of Traditional Korean Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60171-5","authors":["Jonghoon Lee","Weechang Kang","Junghyo Cho","Chongkwan Cho","Hwaseung Yoo","Changgue Son"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-09-16T05:15:49Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60171-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-54527-8","name":"Serum proteomic signatures and an immune-calcium signaling cascade associated with antipsychotic-related erectile dysfunction in schizophrenia","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-54527-8","authors":["Yu-fang Zhou","Sheng-wei Wu","Xuan Wen","You-tian Wang","Jun-rong Ye","An-qi Li","Guo-an Ding","Ai-xiang Xiao","Jian-xiong Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-24T12:02:33Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-54527-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60033-2","name":"Progress in Study on Synergism and Detoxification of Chinese Medicine for Glucocorticoid","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60033-2","authors":["Guan-qun XIE","Cheng-pin WEN","Yong-shen FAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-11-05T18:08:31Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60033-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60086-8","name":"Chinese herbal medicine for subacute thyroiditis: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60086-8","authors":["Hui Luo","Meng Lü","Xiaohua Pei","Zhongyuan Xia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-08-09T17:45:53Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60086-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60104-7","name":"Perception of pattern identification in traditional medicine: a survey of Korean medical practitioners","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60104-7","authors":["Mimi Ko","Juah Lee","Kyungjin Yun","Sooseong You","Myeongsoo Lee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-08-09T21:46:09Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60104-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2020/7027391","name":"Experimental Study on the Effect of Aconite and Angelica sinensis on Myocardial Ischemia Rats with Yang Deficiency and Blood Stasis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective . To investigate the intervention effect and mechanism of Aconite and Angelica sinensis on myocardial ischemia rats with Yang deficiency and blood stasis. Methods . SPF‐class SD rats were randomly divided into low‐dose and high‐dose groups. Each group was divided into control group, model group, and drug‐administered group (FZ, DG, FG; 1 : 0.5, 1 : 1, 1 : 2). A rat model was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of hydrocortisone and isoproterenol plus cold stimulation. Each group was given corresponding decoction or distilled water for 14 days. The behavioral changes of rats in each group were observed. The morphological changes of rats cardiomyocytes were observed by HE staining. The average optical density (MOD value) and percentage of positive cells of Bcl‐2, Bax, and Akt were determined by immunohistochemical staining method, and PEIs were calculated. Western blot and RT‐PCR were used to determine the expression of PI3K, Caspase‐3, Akt protein, and gene expression. Results . The compatibility of Aconite and Angelica sinensis improved the morphology of rat cardiomyocytes, increased the PEI values of Akt and Bcl‐2 protein, and decreased the PEI values of Bax protein ( P < 0.01). The compatibility reduced the expression of Caspase‐3 protein of rat myocardium and increased the protein expression of p‐Akt, PI3K, and p‐PI3K ( P < 0.01). The compatibility also significantly reduced the expression of Caspase‐3 mRNA and increased the expression of PI3K mRNA and Akt mRNA ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the effect of high‐dose FG (1 : 2) group is the best. Conclusions . The method of preparing a rat model of myocardial ischemia with Yang deficiency and blood stasis was feasible. The compatibility of Aconite and Angelica sinensis reduced myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory reaction, protected ischemic cardiomyocytes, and reduced myocardial injury, whose mechanism may be related to the regulation of PI3K/Akt pathway. The compatible group had better intervention effects than Aconite or Angelica sinensis alone. The best one was high‐dose FG (1 : 2).","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/7027391","authors":["Yongcang Cao","Xiaodong Liang","Changyi Li","Tao Chen","Zhanling Li","Wanfeng Li","Peipei Liu","Guiyong Li","Ran Ma","Yingxue Tang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-04-26T23:30:22Z","doi":"10.1155/2020/7027391","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms252011112","name":"Atractylodes lancea Rhizome Polysaccharide Alleviates MCD Diet-Induced NASH by Inhibiting the p53/mTOR Pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a form of chronic liver disease that is characterized by liver inflammation and steatosis, with possible progression to fibrosis.

Here, we evaluate the utility of muscle synergies for assessing motor function and predicting post-intervention motor outcome in a stroke rehabilitation clinical trial. Subacute stroke survivors (n = 59) received month-long acupuncture (Acu), sham acupuncture (ShamAcu) or no acupuncture (NoAcu) as adjunctive rehabilitative intervention alongside standard physiotherapy. Clinical scores and EMGs (14 muscles, eight motor tasks) were collected from the stroke-affected upper limb before and after intervention. We then extracted muscle synergies from EMGs using non-negative matrix factorization and designed 12 muscle synergy indices (MSIs) to summarize different aspects of post-stroke synergy features. All MSIs correlated with multiple clinical scores, suggesting that our indices could potentially serve as biomarkers for post-stroke motor functional assessments. While the intervention groups did not differ in their pre-to-post differences in the clinical scores, the inclusion of MSIs into analysis revealed that on average Acu promoted more recovery of synergy features than ShamAcu and NoAcu, though not all subjects in the group were Acu responders. We then built regression models using pre-intervention MSIs and clinical variables to predict the outcomes of Acu and NoAcu and showed by a preliminary retrospective simulation of patient stratification that MSI-based predictions could have led to better post-intervention motor improvement. Overall, we demonstrate that muscle synergies can potentially clarify the effects of interventions and assist in motor assessment, outcome prediction, and treatment selection.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/s25103170","authors":["Fung Ting Kwok","Ruihuan Pan","Shanshan Ling","Cong Dong","Jodie J.

Early control of the related risk factors is crucial to reduce the incidence of DME. Artificial intelligence (AI) clinical decision-making tools can construct disease prediction models to aid in the clinical screening of the high-risk population for early disease intervention. However, conventional machine learning and data mining techniques have limitations in predicting diseases when dealing with missing feature values. To solve this problem, a knowledge graph displays the connection relationships of multi-source and multi-domain data in the form of a semantic network to enable cross-domain modeling and queries. This approach can facilitate the personalized prediction of diseases using any number of known feature data. In this study, we proposed an improved correlation enhancement algorithm based on knowledge graph reasoning to comprehensively evaluate the factors that influence DME to achieve disease prediction. We constructed a knowledge graph based on Neo4j by preprocessing the collected clinical data and analyzing the statistical rules. Based on reasoning using the statistical rules of the knowledge graph, we used the correlation enhancement coefficient and generalized closeness degree method to enhance the model. Meanwhile, we analyzed and verified these models’ results using link prediction evaluation indicators. The disease prediction model proposed in this study achieved a precision rate of 86.21%, which is more accurate and efficient in predicting DME. Furthermore, the clinical decision support system developed using this model can facilitate personalized disease risk prediction, making it convenient for the clinical screening of a high-risk population and early disease intervention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics13111858","authors":["Zhi-Qing Li","Zi-Xuan Fu","Wen-Jun Li","Hao Fan","Shu-Nan Li","Xi-Mo Wang","Peng Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-05-27T16:16:04Z","doi":"10.3390/diagnostics13111858","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.017Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/cmac.cmac_15_18","name":"Chinese Idioms and Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Like traditional Chinese medicine, Cheng Yu can also be viewed as a brilliant facet of traditional Chinese culture.

There may be a lot of room for the development of TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) in the future. However, it has yet to fully form a system. Therefore, this study aims to explore the material basis and rules of TCM anti-aging based on network pharmacology and data mining. Methods: In this study, potential targets were searched using the HAGR and Aging Atlas databases, followed by compounds and traditional Chinese herbs from the TCMSP database. On this basis, the target-compound network, compound-Chinese herb network and target-compound-herb network were constructed and visualized using Cytoscape 3.7.2. These networks were used to identify potential targets, compounds and herbs. Finally, the rules of Chinese herbs were summarized by the analysis of properties, flavors, and meridian tropism. Results: A total of 25 potential targets, 210 candidate small compounds and 135 kinds of herbs were obtained. The top five targets included PTGS2, AR, ESR1, GSK3B and CCNA2, and diosgenin, formononetin, tanshinone IIA, phaseolin and phaseollidin were identified as the top 5 compounds. In addition, five core herbs (Huluba, Tiandong, Danshen, Kushen and Shandougen) were confirmed. Moreover, according to the frequency statistics, the Chinese herbs that interfere with aging were mainly bitter, acrid, and sweet, had both cold and warm properties, and belonged to the liver and lung meridians. Conclusion: We explored the potential mechanisms of TCM anti-aging by using network pharmacology and summarized the general rules of traditional Chinese herbs medicine. TCM has great potential in the treatment of aging, and this study provides a new approach and idea for the clinical application of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of aging.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26420/austinjpharmacolther.2023.1167","authors":["Bo Li","Wei Meng","Mengnan Liu","Fei Wang","Huairong Luo","Li Wang","LI

This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) for obesity over a 16-week treatment period using sham stimulation as the control. Methods. A multicenter, randomised, parallel, sham-controlled trial was conducted from February 10, 2017, to May 15, 2018. Men with waistlines ≥85 cm and women with ≥80 cm at three sites were randomised to receive eight sessions (over 16 weeks) of ACE (n = 108) or sham ACE (n = 108) with skin penetration at sham acupoints. The catgut was embedded once every two weeks using two alternating sets of acupoints. The follow-up lasted for an additional 24 weeks. The primary outcome was the percentage waistline reduction from baseline to week 16. Results. We included 216 individuals in the intention-to-treat analysis. At 16 weeks, the rate of waistline reduction was 8.80% (95% confidence interval (CI), 7.93% to 9.66%) in the ACE group and 4.09% (95% CI, 3.18% to 5.00%) in the sham control group, with a between-group difference of 4.71% (95% CI, 3.47% to 5.95%; P < 0.0001). This difference persisted throughout the entire follow-up period (between-group difference after 24-week additional weeks, 4.94% (95% CI, 3.58% to 6.30%); P < 0.001). The subgroup analyses of waistline by sex (male/female) revealed treatment effects of 1.93 (95% CI, −0.37 to 4.23, P = 0.1) in the male group and 3.19 (95% CI, 1.99 to 4.39, P < 0.001) in the female group. The adverse event analysis suggested that ACE and laboratory tests confirmed the safety of ACE. Discussion. ACE for 16 weeks could decrease the waistline and weight and was safe for the treatment of obesity. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and sex differences.

This study aimed to identify aging-related hub genes and characterize immune landscapes across aging subtypes of AS using integrated bioinformatics and experimental validation. AS-related candidate genes were found by overlapping DEGs identified by limma and key module genes identified by Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) based on the GSE100927 dataset. Consensus clustering based on aging-related DEGs (differential expression analysis based on 125 aging-related genes between AS and control) was performed to identify aging subtypes and characterize immune landscapes. Typical genes were picked out using four machine learning models: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Generalized Linear Model (GLM). The expression of central genes was verified through single-cell data analysis. Patients with AS were enrolled (n = 30), and atherosclerotic plaque and adjacent normal arterial tissues were collected. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) validation was performed in atherosclerotic plaques and oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated THP-1 macrophage. The effect of crucial genes on ox-LDL-induced THP-1 macrophage inflammatory response and foaming were validated by qPCR, ELISA and Oil Red O Staining. We identified 76 aging-related DEGs and classified AS samples into two aging-related subtypes (C1 and C2) with distinct immune infiltration characteristics. Machine learning analysis based on 43 candidate genes identified 5 hub genes: heat shock protein family B (small) member 7 (HSPB7), myelin expression factor 2 (MYEF2), dual specificity phosphatase 26 (DUSP26), tandem C2 domains, nuclear (TC2N), and phospholamban (PLN), whose expression patterns were further validated by single-cell RNA sequencing. Moreover, TC2N and PLN were significantly downregulated in atherosclerotic plaque tissues. TC2N and PLN expressions in atherosclerotic plaque tissue of AS patient were significantly reduced. TC2N was significantly decreased in ox-LDL-treated THP-1 macrophage. TC2N overexpression alleviated ox-LDL-induced THP-1 macrophage inflammatory response but also alleviated cell foaming. This integrated bioinformatics and experimental study identified five hub genes (HSPB7, MYEF2, DUSP26, TC2N, and PLN) associated with AS. Experimental validation confirmed that TC2N is significantly downregulated in human atherosclerotic plaques and ox-LDL-treated THP-1 macrophages, TC2N overexpression alleviates inflammatory responses and foam cell formation. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms linking aging and immune dysregulation in AS and highlight TC2N as a potential regulator of AS progression.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42656193/","authors":["Fan Q","Chen K","Liu J","Diao X","Xia Z","Yu H","Zhu H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1111/cbdd.70382","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42656122","name":"[Advances in stem cell and exosome-based therapies for dry eye disease].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Conventional treatments for dry eye disease, such as artificial tears and anti-inflammatory drugs, can only alleviate symptoms, and it is difficult to achieve etiological repair with these treatments.

Triptolide, a bioactive diterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, exhibits broad anticancer activity. Although its inhibitory action on OSCC has been established, its specific molecular regulatory mechanisms in TSCC, a distinct and aggressive subtype, remain largely underexplored. The present study investigates the regulatory role of triptolide in the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, which is a critical axis intimately linked to tumor survival and metastasis. A network-pharmacology workflow was used to intersect triptolide putative targets with TSCC-related genes. Core hubs were identified with Cytoscape; KEGG and GO analyses highlighted the PI3K-AKT axis as the top enriched pathway. Binding kinetics were quantified by molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Cellular assays (CCK-8, Transwell, wound-healing, Western blot and immunofluorescence) validated the predictions. We retrieved 389 common targets and shortlisted eight key nodes (JUN, MAPK1, MAPK3, AKT1, TP53, BCL2, STAT3, MYC). SPR revealed high-affinity binding of triptolide to AKT1 and PI3K. Functionally, triptolide dose-dependently suppressed TSCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, downregulated PI3K-AKT signaling proteins, and reduced the colocalization and phosphorylation levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. This study is the first to demonstrate the pivotal role of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in mediating the antitumor effects of triptolide in tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) and Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) are a classic Chinese medicine combination for treating ischemic stroke, yet their synergistic mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the enhanced effects of AS-IV combined with TMP on cerebral microvascular endothelial cells following ischemia-reperfusion injury and to explore the regulatory role of the lncRNA MALAT1-CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling axis. MATERIAL AND METHODS An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model was established using the bEnd.3 mouse brain microvascular endothelial cell line. Cells were treated with AS-IV, TMP, or their combination to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Cell viability and migration capacity were assessed using CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays. The expression levels of MALAT1 and angiogenesis-related markers (VEGFA, Ang1, Ang2, CXCL12, and CXCR4) were analyzed via qPCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence. To verify the mechanism, a stable MALAT1 knockdown model was constructed using lentiviral-mediated shRNA transduction. RESULTS OGD/R insult significantly reduced cell viability and migration, downregulated MALAT1 expression, and disrupted the Ang1/Ang2 balance. While AS-IV or TMP monotherapy partially mitigated these injuries, the combined treatment demonstrated a greater protective effect than either monotherapy. This enhancement was characterized by upregulation of MALAT1, activation of the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway, and restoration of VEGFA and Ang1 protein expression. Furthermore, lentiviral-mediated MALAT1 silencing (shMALAT1) markedly impaired cell migration and angiogenic marker expression, effects that were partially rescued by the combined AS-IV and TMP intervention. CONCLUSIONS The combination of AS-IV and TMP exhibits an enhanced effect compared to either monotherapy in promoting endothelial migration and marker expression in vitro. These findings suggest that the protective mechanism is consistent with the involvement of the MALAT1-CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling axis. This study provides a preliminary cellular rationale for further in vivo validation of this combination therapy in rodent stroke models.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42655892/","authors":["Li G","Lu Y","Huang L","Zhu J","Li L","Li P","Li S","Qin X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 27","doi":"10.12659/MSM.953474","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42655864","name":"Effects of Fermented Ginseng By-Product Supplementation on Growth Performance, Meat Quality, Flavor, and Fatty Acid Metabolism in Hongyu Roosters.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Agricultural by-products and Chinese medicine crop residues, as non-traditional animal feed, have great potential to alleviate the scarcity of traditional feed and reduce the environmental burden.

A total of 100 Hongyu roosters were randomly assigned to either a control (Con) group fed a basal diet or a fermented ginseng by-products (Fe) group fed a basal diet supplemented with 3% fermented ginseng by-products, with five replicates per group, for 100 days.

The results also exhibited enhanced water-holding capacity, coupled with significantly decreased shear force and drip loss ( p < 0.05). Electronic nose and tongue analyses confirmed enriched meat aroma and optimized taste profiles, which aligned with elevated levels of flavor-precursor amino acids and essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

This formulation significantly alleviated inflammatory damage, upregulated tight-junction-related mRNA expression, and reversed the decrease in cellular viability caused by 7S globulin. Furthermore, Western blot and transcript analyses suggested that this combination exerted its protective effects by modulating the nuclear factor-kappa B/mitogen-activated protein kinase (NF-κB/MAPK) pathway-related markers, reducing the expression of p38 MAPK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), NF-κB p65, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study using the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD) and a de-identified nationwide database from Taiwan's largest medical system. Hospitalized adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with DNI from 2006 to 2023 were identified and stratified into two consecutive 9-year epochs (Epoch 1: 2006-2014, n = 5512; Epoch 2: 2015-2023, n = 6551).

As the \"second genome\" of host plants, the plant microbiome is deeply involved in plant growth and development, stress adaptation, and the accumulation of bioactive compounds, providing new pathways for the sustainable utilization of traditional Chinese medicine resources. This review summarizes the mechanisms by which the plant microbiome regulates biomass formation and SM accumulation in medicinal plants. Microorganisms can promote plant nutrient acquisition, enhance resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and regulate root architecture and hormonal signaling. Meanwhile, microorganisms can also participate in the remodeling of secondary metabolic networks in medicinal plants through elicitor- and effector protein-mediated signal transduction, regulation of metabolic gene expression, redistribution of photosynthetic carbon sources and metabolic precursors, and their own biosynthetic capacities. From the perspective of co-evolution, plants and their microbiomes constitute symbiotic systems formed through long-term interactions. Plants can selectively recruit specific microbial taxa through root exudates, SMs, and signaling molecules, whereas microorganisms influence plant adaptability and medicinal material quality through colonization, metabolic feedback, and horizontal gene transfer. This review proposes that a synergistic regulatory pattern of \"close phylogenetic relatedness-similar secretions-similar microbial communities\" may exist between medicinal plants and microorganisms. This pattern suggests that closely related medicinal plants may share similar core microbial taxa, which may help reveal the intrinsic mechanisms underlying specific microbial recruitment and the quality formation of geo-authentic medicinal materials. Furthermore, the design of synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) can be achieved based on the identification of shared functional genes and the screening of indigenous core functional strains.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42654995/","authors":["Wang E","Zhang Y","Yue R","Wang Y","Ma X","Zhang G","Jin L","Erjun Wang","Yalong Zhang","Ronghua Yue","Yuanyuan Wang","Xiaohui Ma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/microorganisms14081650","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"pmid:42654964","name":"Immunoinformatics Design of a Broad-Spectrum Multi-Epitope Vaccine Targeting HA2 and M1 of H9N2 AIV.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) continues to mutate, leading to immunosuppression and secondary infections in poultry.

In this study, we targeted the HA2 and M1 proteins of H9N2 as antigens and used immunoinformatics methods to design a broad-spectrum multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) that can simultaneously activate humoral and cellular immunity. Firstly, through systematic evolutionary analysis and sequence comparison, highly conserved amino acid sequence regions were selected from HA2 and M1 proteins. B-cell epitopes were predicted in the HA2 conserved sequence, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes were predicted in the M1 conserved sequence. Three candidate vaccines containing different epitope combinations were constructed. After secondary structure and physicochemical property comparisons, HM1 was determined as the optimal scheme. HM1 contains three B cell epitopes, two CTL epitopes, and three HTL epitopes, and was connected to chicken β-defensin at the N-terminus as a molecular adjuvant; a dendritic cell-targeting peptide was added at the C-terminus. The HM1 tertiary structure optimized by GalaxyRefine met the standards of a reliable model. The molecular docking results indicated that HM1 can form stable binding with chicken TLR2, TLR4, MHC I, and MHC II molecules, with binding free energies of -7.1 kcal/mol and -6.1 kcal/mol, respectively, and can form multiple hydrogen bonds and salt bridges. Normal mode analyses revealed that the HM1-TLR complex exhibits favorable dynamic properties at the computational level. The immune simulation prediction results showed that after vaccination with HM1, specific antibodies can be induced, B cells, helper T cells, and cytotoxic T cells can be activated, and IFN-γ and IL-2 can be secreted. In summary, the HM1 designed based on the conserved regions of HA2 and M1 proteins has good physicochemical stability and immunogenicity, providing a theoretical basis for the development of broad-spectrum and highly effective H9N2 vaccines.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42654964/","authors":["Ji J","Lin Y","Zhu Z","Yue K","Zhang Y","Zhang W","Lei B","Yuan W","Li L","Zhao K"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 24","doi":"10.3390/microorganisms14081617","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42654963","name":"Information-Entropy-Based Single Amino Acid Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Functional Variance of Enterovirus 2A Proteases.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Enterovirus alphacoxsackie (EV-A) is a highly diverse viral species containing at least 25 serotypes with diverse biological and clinical characteristics. EV-A can cause diseases ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe neurological disorders, as well as mucocutaneous diseases such as hand, foot, and mouth disease. 2A, a cysteine protease expressed by EV-A, plays critical roles in virus-host interactions. Although 2A orthologs of different EV-A serotypes share consistent protease-catalytic motifs and cleavage patterns, they show functional diversity in interacting with cellular proteins, probably due to distinct protease-independent activities determined by the single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs) among different 2A orthologs. However, routine sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis can hardly identify the key SAP sites (kSAPs) contributing to the functional variance, mainly due to the high conservation of the proteins and the unequal weight of SAPs in determining protein function. Herein, we developed Single Amino Acid Polymorphism Statistics (SAAPS), an information-entropy (IE)-based algorithmic pipeline, to identify the functional kSAPs of EV-A 2A. The core principle of the algorithm is that the IE of the kSAPs can be neither too low (highly conserved sites not leading to variance) nor too high (random neutral mutations). Using SAAPS, we identified 56 kSAPs from 2A of 25 EV-A serotypes. Based on the kSAPs, the 2As can be clustered into three major groups with a few outliers, which was distinct from the clustering generated by phylogenetic analysis using the whole amino acid sequences. Functional verification with transcriptomic profiles of HEK-293T cells expressing different 2A variants revealed closer alignment of kSAP clustering than phylogenetic clustering. Notably, EV-A89, an outlier identified by kSAP clustering but not phylogenetic clustering, showed a unique expression pattern with an altered shift in the molecular weight, which suggested that it was related to three SAPs identified by SAAPS.

These lipids play crucial roles in the formation of the lipid bilayer and are categorised into several groups, including sphingomyelins, ceramides, sphingosine-1-phosphate, and glycosphingolipids. In addition to their structural significance, sphingolipids also show bioactivity, regulating various signalling pathways involved in cell growth, differentiation, ageing, and apoptosis, and are closely associated with several chronic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Notably, dysregulated sphingolipid metabolism contributes to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction through altered lipid accumulation, insulin signalling, organelle stress, and inflammation. This review summarises the various mechanisms and recent research advances related to sphingolipids and their association with obesity. It further examines how the metabolic effects of ceramides vary according to their acyl-chain length, enzyme of origin, tissue distribution, and metabolic context, as well as how adipose depot, sex, age, and metabolic phenotype influence the sphingolipid response to obesity.

Medicinal plant polysaccharides (MPPs) are structurally diverse macromolecules that often resist host digestion and undergo microbial transformation in the colon, but their effects cannot be interpreted as those of a homogeneous intervention class. In this structured narrative review, we critically synthesize evidence across structural carbohydrate biology, microbial ecology, metabolite signaling, and immune aging and propose a structure-microbiota-metabolite-immunity framework for evaluating how MPPs may influence immunosenescence. Monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkages, molecular-weight distribution, branching, uronic acid content, chemical substitutions, and higher-order conformation can shape microbial carbohydrate-active enzyme activity, polysaccharide utilization, and ecological cross-feeding. The resulting changes in short-chain fatty acids, secondary bile acids, tryptophan-derived indoles, and other metabolites may affect epithelial barrier integrity, regulatory T-cell/T helper 17-cell (Treg/Th17) balance, macrophage polarization, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling, NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, and systemic inflammatory tone. However, evidence from in vitro systems and young disease models primarily supports mechanistic plausibility and should not be treated as direct evidence of immunosenescence modification.

The objective of this study is to explore the scope for formulation variation arising from batch-to-batch fluctuations in intermediates, and to identify the factors influencing key quality attributes of honey-containing tablets. In this regard, a machine-learning-based predictive model is being formulated that will integrate and analyse formulation factors and the results characterised by the SeDeM expert system. Utilising the SeDeM index as a mediating variable, the study endeavours to establish a comprehensible and predictable stepwise research pathway to provide a foundation for industrial-scale upscaling. Methods : Twelve SeDeM expert systems were utilised to characterise honey-containing granules for formulation screening, to evaluate their suitability for use in traditional Chinese medicine honey-containing tablet systems, and to identify key limiting factors and the feasibility space affecting the quality of the final product; Based on the QBD philosophy, a TriAD (Tri-criterion Adaptive Design) design scheme was proposed, integrating the horizontal balance of orthogonal designs, the spatial coverage of uniform designs, and the parameter estimation efficiency of D-optimal designs into the experimental layout of the formulation feasibility space; Through further data aggregation, a multi-layer feature set comprising four formulation factors, six SeDeM indicators, and three critical quality attributes (CQAs) was constructed. The mediating effects of the SeDeM indicators were revealed through different pathways involving 37 combinations of simple, linear, and Bootstrap models. Furthermore, 180 linear and non-linear machine learning models (comprising 12 categories of algorithms) were trained to predict formulation and CQA outcomes, ultimately completing the design space mapping and validation. Results : The results show that the SeDeM parameters effectively bridge the CQA results of different honey formulations, with these indicators acting as selective mediators between formulation factors and CQAs. Compared with a pure data model relying solely on raw formulation variables, the introduction of SeDeM knowledge, combined with high-information-content samples obtained via TriAD, improved the predictive performance and robustness of the SeDeM-ML hybrid model in terms of disintegration time and hardness; its R 2 _LOO increased by 0.267 and 0.510, respectively, and the overall predictive space was significantly expanded. Experimental validation was conducted using formulations within the design space predicted by the optimal model; the results showed that both the prediction bias and the relative standard deviation were less than 5 percent. Conclusions : The present study demonstrates that SeDeM can not only be used to evaluate formulations of honey-containing TCM tablets but also serves as an intermediary bridge linking formulation factors, granule-mechanism variables, and tablet quality outcomes. TriAD, in turn, further translates the QbD philosophy into an actionable formulation space design, thereby providing a development pathway for honey-containing tablets that combines interpretability, predictability, and QbD consistency, and offers new insights for the industrial application of oral TCM preparations.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42654131/","authors":["Deng X","Mu D","Song F","Miao Y","Yin Q","Yin H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 16","doi":"10.3390/pharmaceutics18081014","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42654113","name":"Kaempferol's Therapeutic Applications and Mechanistic Insights in Ocular Diseases: Current Progress, Challenges, and Translational Opportunities.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Kaempferol is a natural flavonol compound widely present in various single-herb remedies and compound formulations used for the treatment of ocular diseases. Despite its inherent pharmaceutical limitations, accumulating evidence indicates that kaempferol exerts broad protective effects against diverse ocular disorders through multiple biological pathways, highlighting its potential as a multi-target therapeutic candidate in ophthalmology. However, current evidence regarding kaempferol-based ophthalmic applications remains fragmented across different ocular diseases and mechanistic investigations, and a comprehensive evaluation of its therapeutic potential, translational challenges, and existing limitations is still lacking. This review systematically summarizes the research progress on kaempferol in the treatment of eye diseases, encompassing its source distribution, structural characteristics, ocular delivery strategies, disease spectrum coverage, molecular mechanisms, and safety profile. By critically evaluating currently available evidence, this review further identifies unresolved issues and translational barriers that hinder the clinical application of kaempferol in ophthalmology. Regarding delivery strategies, carriers such as gelatin nanoparticles, porous bovine serum albumin membranes, platelet-derived extracellular vesicles, and polyvinylpyrrolidone-based nanocomposites have preliminarily improved ocular surface retention and corneal permeability of kaempferol in models of corneal neovascularization and alkali burns. In terms of therapeutic indications, kaempferol has demonstrated protective effects in diverse experimental models, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cataract, dry eye disease, fungal keratitis, corneal transplant rejection, acute glaucoma, and retinoblastoma. At the mechanistic level, kaempferol exerts comprehensive pharmacological actions-anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolic regulation, anti-angiogenic, and immunomodulatory-by modulating multiple signaling pathways, including MAPK, NF-κB, STAT1/IRF7, Nrf2/HO-1, VEGF/PI3K/Src/Akt/ERK, aldose reductase, estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα), and the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Available safety assessments suggest that kaempferol exhibits a generally favorable safety profile across ocular, cellular, systemic, and genetic evaluations. Despite these advances, the clinical translation of kaempferol in ophthalmology remains limited by insufficient clinical and pharmacokinetic evidence, underdeveloped targeted delivery strategies, and a lack of integrated understanding of its molecular basis in ocular protection. By systematically integrating evidence from ocular disease models, molecular mechanisms, delivery strategies, and safety evaluations, this review bridges fragmented knowledge regarding kaempferol-based ophthalmic applications and provides an integrated framework for understanding its therapeutic potential and translational prospects.

Conventional systemic administration provides limited exposure at the tumor site and exhibits significant toxicity. Injectable hydrogels, combining the properties of minimally invasive administration, in situ gelation, local retention, and sustained release, have become a key platform for local precision drug delivery. Compared with nanomedicines or free drugs, hydrogels can both prolong drug retention time and achieve on-demand release through the modulation of crosslinking density, degradation rate, and responsive chemical bonds. This review is organized around the material logic of such systems. Injectable hydrogels are first classified into natural, synthetic, hybrid, supramolecular, nanocomposite, and self-healing systems, the in situ gelation chemistries available to each are compared, and network parameters such as crosslinking density, mesh size, swelling, porosity, modulus, and rheology are related to release kinetics and intratumoral retention. Current research is primarily advancing along two directions: one is the construction of pH-, enzyme-, redox/ROS-, hypoxia-, ATP-, glucose-or thermo-responsive hydrogels; the other is achieving active targeting by integrating functionalized hydrogels with targets such as CD44, folate receptor, integrins, EGFR, transferrin receptor, and HER2 or with biomimetic cell-membrane coatings. On this basis, hydrogels have been extended to cancer vaccines, immune checkpoint modulation, local delivery of CAR-T/CAR-NK, as well as combination therapies involving chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, radiosensitization, gene therapy, and theranostics. The constraints imposed on hydrogel design by different payload classes, including small molecules, natural products, proteins and peptides, nucleic acids, antibodies, exosomes, and gene-editing machinery, are further examined, and imaging-integrated theranostic gels are discussed together with the emerging role of machine learning and digital fabrication in hydrogel optimization.

Effective treatment requires not only infection and inflammation control but, more critically, functional regeneration of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Periodontal regeneration, however, is a highly ordered, multi-stage biological cascade involving temporally coordinated phases of blood clot formation, inflammatory regulation, tissue formation, and remodeling. Conventional single-drug or mixed-delivery strategies cannot distinguish the distinct demands of each healing phase and fail to replicate this natural rhythm. Sequential controlled-release systems address this gap by delivering multiple bioactive agents (antimicrobials, immunomodulators, and growth factors) in a programmed order tailored to the healing cascade, enabling precise modulation of the periodontal microenvironment and orderly tissue regeneration. This review systematically summarizes advances in these systems, classifying material platforms into four categories: (1) diffusion-barrier and degradation-kinetics systems, including multilayer films, core-shell fibers, porous microspheres, and microneedle arrays; (2) stimuli-responsive systems triggered by pH, matrix metalloproteinases, reactive oxygen species, or exogenous physical stimuli; (3) cell and extracellular vesicle-based systems exploiting the inflammatory tropism of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes for targeted immune reprogramming; and (4) asymmetric structural designs achieving spatiotemporal coordination of physical and biochemical signals through hierarchical architectures. These systems follow an anti-infection/anti-inflammation first, osteogenesis later therapeutic logic, circumventing temporal antagonism among bioactive factors. However, significant challenges hinder clinical translation, including individualized prediction of release kinetics, long-term biocompatibility of carrier materials, material retention under dynamic oral conditions, translational limitations of animal models, and precise regulation of complex factor networks.

To address this issue, this paper proposes a Hydrodynamic Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (HIIPSO) algorithm for the deep optimization of model parameters. In practical identification scenarios, the high complexity of XRD data poses severe challenges to the convergence speed and global search capability of optimization algorithms. To enhance model performance, this study introduces the interaction mechanism from fluid dynamics into the particle swarm optimization process. Specifically, HIIPSO incorporates a Voronoi neighbor topology to enhance population diversity and spatial distribution rationality. Concurrently, a hydrodynamic interaction mechanism is constructed to simulate the cooperative behavior of particles in a fluid environment, thereby effectively preventing the algorithm from falling into local optima. A theoretical analysis of the computational complexity of the HIIPSO algorithm in the parameter search task for XRD identification models was conducted, confirming that it falls within an ideal range for engineering applications. Statistical analysis of the experimental results demonstrates that, in the parameter optimization task for the Os Draconis identification model, the HIIPSO algorithm significantly outperforms traditional and other baseline algorithms across key metrics, including the optimal value, mean, standard deviation, and median of the objective function. The experimental data indicates that the HIIPSO algorithm can substantially improve the robustness and identification accuracy of the XRD-based Os Draconis identification model, making it an optimal solution for parameter optimization problems in the digital identification of complex mineral-based traditional Chinese medicines.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42654017/","authors":["Wang Y","Zhai H","Deng J","Cheng L","Tao Y","Chen J","Tang M","Wang K","Zhang Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 21","doi":"10.3390/molecules31162937","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653972","name":"Selective Inhibition of Lipid Oxidation by a Quercetagetin-Rich Extract from Tagetes erecta: A Chemometric Approach Using OPLS-DA and Selectivity Index Analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study investigates the antioxidant efficacy and selectivity of a quercetagetin-rich extract (QG, 89% purity) from Tagetes erecta in soybean oil under accelerated storage conditions (65 °C, 56 days).

A series of truncated analogues was generated, among which a shortened peptide fragment (T1) retained potent antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria, whereas further truncation resulted in a marked loss of function. Structural analysis revealed that both dermatoxin-PD1 and T1 adopted amphipathic α-helical conformations under membrane-mimicking conditions.

These findings provide additional insight into the structure-activity relationship of dermatoxin-like peptides and suggest that protease cleavage-guided truncation may represent a useful strategy for developing shorter and safer antimicrobial peptides.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42653830/","authors":["Cheng S","Zai Y","Peng J","Xiang J","Chen X","Ma C","Jiang Y","Wang T","Chen T","Shaw C","Zhou M","Wang L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 7","doi":"10.3390/molecules31162748","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653820","name":"Correction: Hu et al.

It exhibits a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties, encompassing antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-diabetic, antifungal, and anticancer activities. Notably, it has shown potential therapeutic benefits in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Ochratoxin A (OTA), a common contaminant found in foods such as cereals, coffee, and raisins, is also present in traditional Chinese medicinal materials, including Astragalus and liquorice . T2DM and NAFLD share intertwined pathophysiological pathways, including insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress, with insulin resistance serving as the common pathological hub for both conditions. Consequently, they frequently co-occur and exacerbate each other. OTA exerts dual-targeted toxicity to the pancreas and liver, which may synergistically drive the development of the comorbidity of T2DM and NAFLD. These two processes are mutually causal and together constitute the pathological basis of metabolic comorbidity. Methods: Network toxicology employs toxicological data, gene expression, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks to predict the targets of toxins, while network pharmacology, based on systems biology principles, reveals how drugs exert regulatory effects through multiple targets and pathways. In this study, we employed an integrated network toxicology and network pharmacology approach to jointly decipher the potential mechanisms by which CA intervenes in OTA-induced comorbid T2DM-NAFLD. First, a network toxicology approach was employed to preliminarily screen for core toxicological targets responsible for OTA's pathogenicity. Subsequently, network pharmacology was used to identify potential targets of CA-mediated intervention in the disease. Finally, the common overlap among the CA intervention targets, OTA toxicity targets, and disease targets was defined as the final set of potential targets for CA-mediated intervention in OTA-induced T2DM-NAFLD comorbidity. A PPI network was constructed using the STRING database, and topological analysis was performed with Cytoscape. Core targets were selected using the median values of six parameters-betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, degree centrality, eigenvector centrality, LAC (local average connectivity) score, and network centrality-as cut-off thresholds, and the top 10 key genes were further identified using the cytoHubba plugin. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were conducted via the DAVID database, and the results were visualized on the CNSknowall platform. Lastly, molecular docking of the core targets was performed using the CB-DOCK2 platform to validate binding affinity. Results: Based on an integrated analysis of network toxicology, network pharmacology, and molecular docking, 10 key targets were systematically identified. These may serve as potential mediators of cinnamaldehyde in the treatment of OTA-induced T2DM-NAFLD comorbidity. Among these, six targets-albumin ( ALB ), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( GAPDH ), interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ), tumor necrosis factor ( TNF ), actin beta ( ACTB ), and estrogen receptor 1 ( ESR1 )-possess crystal structures amenable to molecular docking. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that CA and OTA jointly participate in key pathological processes such as the cancer pathway, the lipid and atherosclerosis pathway, the advanced glycation end-products-receptor for advanced glycation end-products ( AGE-RAGE ) signaling pathway, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B ( PI3K-Akt ) signaling pathway, the TNF signaling pathway, and the interleukin-17 ( IL-17 ) signaling pathway.

Currently available urate-lowering drugs, however, are frequently compromised by hepatorenal toxicity and gastrointestinal adverse effects. Cinnamaldehyde, the principal bioactive constituent of the traditional Chinese medicine cinnamon, has documented renoprotective properties, yet its integrated effects on hyperuricemia-associated renal injury remain incompletely defined. Objectives: This study investigated the therapeutic effects of cinnamaldehyde on hyperuricemia and explored the molecular mechanisms involved. Materials and Methods: An in vivo hyperuricemia model was established in KM mice by co-administration of potassium oxonate and hypoxanthine for 14 consecutive days, and an in vitro injury model was generated by exposing HK-2 human renal tubular epithelial cells to uric acid. For the in vivo study, mice were divided into five groups (control, model, febuxostat, low-dose CA, and high-dose CA; n = 9 per group) and were treated by oral gavage. Serum biochemical indices, renal and intestinal histopathology, inflammatory cytokines, renal urate transporter proteins (OAT1, OCT2, ABCG2, and SLC2A9), and components related to AIF1 and CMPK2/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling (ASC, caspase-1, IL-18, and IL-1β) were examined. Western blotting, qPCR, immunofluorescence, apoptosis analysis, mitochondrial membrane potential assessment, transmission electron microscopy, siRNA-mediated knockdown, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to characterize the relevant mechanisms. Results: CA reduced serum uric acid ( p ≤ 0.001 vs. model), creatinine ( p ≤ 0.01 vs. model), and blood urea nitrogen ( p ≤ 0.01 vs. model), alleviated renal and intestinal histopathological injury, and decreased circulating and renal inflammatory cytokines. Cinnamaldehyde increased ABCG2, OAT1, and OCT2 protein expression and reduced SLC2A9 expression (all p ≤ 0.05 vs. model). In vivo and in vitro, cinnamaldehyde suppressed AIF1- and CMPK2/NLRP3-related inflammatory proteins, reduced uric acid-induced apoptosis, and preserved mitochondrial membrane potential and ultrastructure. Fecal 16S rRNA sequencing suggested changes in selected microbial taxa, although alpha-diversity and BrayCurtis-based PERMANOVA/ANOSIM analyses did not demonstrate significant global community separation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that CA alleviates hyperuricemia-associated renal injury by regulating renal urate transporters, attenuating AIF1- and CMPK2/NLRP3-related inflammatory signaling, accompanied by compositional shifts in selected gut microbial taxa that warrant further mechanistic investigation.

DD has shown therapeutic effects in nephropathy patients. However, the underlying mechanisms based on the traditional efficacy are still not fully elucidated. Methods : The chemical constituents in DD were identified using UPLC-MS/MS. Network pharmacology analysis was applied to predict the potential target genes and associated signaling pathways. A renal fibrosis mouse model was induced by the intraperitoneal injection of aristolochic acid I (AA I) at 3.0 mg/kg. Mice were treated with AM, AS, and DD at two dosages by oral gavage for 30 days. Body weights, serum biochemistry, hematology, and histopathology observations were assessed. The key targets predicted were validated using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The active constituents were screened by molecular docking, and their anti-fibrotic effects were evaluated through in vitro assays. Results : DD effectively improved renal functions and alleviated AA I-induced renal fibrosis. DD alleviated anemia and upregulated the expression of Erythropoietin (EPO). Network pharmacology analysis indicated the involvement of signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathways. Experimental validation further demonstrated that DD reduced the protein expression of HIF-1α, collagen I, and TGF-β, and the ratios of phosphorylated Smad2/3 to total Smad2/3. Molecular docking and in vitro assays suggested that rutin may be a potential bioactive compound in DD. Conclusions : This research indicated that DD ameliorated AA I-induced renal fibrosis in mice, which may be associated with the modulation of HIF-1α and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathways.

This study therefore aimed to unravel its core therapeutic mechanisms. Methods: UPLC-MS was employed to characterize the major components of SSF. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet combined with high-fructose/glucose drinking water (HFD-HF/G) for 10 weeks to establish a MASLD model, followed by SSF intervention. After 8-week treatment, body and liver weight, hepatic histopathological alterations, serum levels of lipids, transaminase, and inflammatory cytokines were detected, and transcriptomic sequencing was performed on mouse liver tissues for mechanistic exploration. AML12 hepatocytes stimulated with palmitic acid (PA) were treated with SSF alone or in combination with AMPK or SIRT1 specific inhibitors. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression or activation levels of AMPK, SIRT1, and key lipid metabolism-related molecules. Results: A total of 77 active components were identified in SSF by UPLC-MS analysis. In MASLD model mice, SSF significantly reduced body and liver weight, serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6, and elevated adiponectin levels. Histopathological staining demonstrated that SSF effectively alleviated hepatic steatosis, ballooning, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Transcriptomic profiling analysis verified the major regulatory effect of SSF on lipid metabolism and identified the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway as a potential mechanism. Further experiments confirmed that SSF restored the levels of AMPK/ACC phosphorylation and SIRT1 expression, thereby modulating downstream lipid metabolism-related genes in liver tissues. In PA-induced AML12 cells, SSF significantly reduced intracellular accumulation of lipid and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were partially abrogated by the inhibitors of AMPK or SIRT1. Conclusions: SSF exerts prominent effects against MASLD in both in vivo and in vitro models. Modulation of the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway primarily contributes to its therapeutic mechanism against lipid metabolism disorder and lipotoxic liver injury. These findings provide experimental evidence to support the clinical application of SSF for MASLD treatment.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42653692/","authors":["Ding J","Liu T","Huang P","Yang L","Chen Z","Xue Y","Hua Y","Song H","Zheng P"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 29","doi":"10.3390/ph19081195","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653689","name":"A Comprehensive Review on Irinotecan-Induced Delayed Diarrhea: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Options.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Irinotecan is a first-line medication for metastatic colorectal cancer. It is known that irinotecan-induced delayed diarrhea is closely related to metabolic processes in the human body. In particular, the synergies of multiple metabolic enzymes/transporters mediate the transport/regeneration of intestinal SN38. This efficient metabolite derived from irinotecan not only exerts robust cytotoxic effects, but also extends contact duration with the intestinal wall during enterohepatic circulation. These factors further affect the intestinal microenvironment, including intestinal flora disorder, intestinal immune dysregulation, and intestinal barrier impairment, which ultimately causes the occurrence of delayed diarrhea. At present, dose adjustment of irinotecan and combining drugs are common measures for clinical use. However, these regimens have shown limited therapeutic efficacy and face the risk of chemotherapy failure. Numerous studies have shown that herbal medicines and derived phytochemicals may also be promising complementary treatments. The characteristics of multi-target regulation of herbs are very suitable for the intervention strategy of complex diseases with multiple pathogenic links. This review focuses on the development of irinotecan-induced delayed diarrhea. We generalized the complex pathogenesis in detail and summarized relevant potential drugs and clinical agents.

Potent in vitro activities consistently fail to translate in vivo, a shortfall rooted in the poor systemic bioavailability of its signature triterpenoids and polysaccharides. We contend that the defining hurdle is no longer compound discovery but whether emerging formulation technologies genuinely overcome these barriers or merely sidestep them in ways that obscure the underlying physiology. Methods: We construct a structure-activity-formulation (SAF) prioritization framework. We critically survey a broad spectrum of delivery platforms-including lipid-based, polymeric, micellar, tellurium nanorod, and G. lucidum -derived vesicular systems-against their demonstrated capacity to improve oral exposure. Clinical assessments and regulatory considerations are integrated to anchor the analysis in translational reality. Results: Bioavailability has been systematically treated as a post hoc variable, even though the very structural features conferring bioactivity impose the steepest systemic barriers. To date, no G. lucidum nanoformulation has advanced to human trials, and the regulatory terrain for these complex natural-product nanomedicines remains uncharted. We distill three experimentally tractable propositions-testing lipid-mediated absorption, triple-helix conformational dependency, and co-delivery synergy-that offer discrete entry points for rigorous investigation. Conclusions: We argue that the field must pivot decisively from descriptive cataloging to hypothesis-driven, comparative investigation, anchored by reference-material standardization and proactive regulatory dialogue.

We integrated GWAS summary statistics for COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis and CRSsNP using linkage disequilibrium score regression, local genetic correlation analysis and Genomic structural equation modeling. A latent shared airway disease factor, termed gAirwayDisease, was constructed to capture common genetic liability across the four conditions.

Spatial mapping localized gAirwayDisease-associated signals to airway- and epithelial-associated anatomical domains. PoPS prioritized immune and airway-relevant genes, including SMAD3, GATA3, IL1R1, RUNX3 and STAT6, while MAGMA enrichment highlighted B-cell activation, T-cell activation and transcriptional regulatory pathways.

Identification of the cucumber seed vivipary phenotype and screening of vivipary-associated genes will provide important theoretical value and practical significance for solving this problem in agricultural production. In this study, cucumber near-isogenic lines with significant differences in vivipary traits (viviparous line F and non-viviparous line BF) were successfully screened and used to construct genetic populations. Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and QTL-seq were performed to fine-map the major-effect quantitative trait locus associated with vivipary variation. Based on QTL and BSA analyses, CsaV3_3G044640 (designated CsCYP82D47 ), which encodes a cytochrome P450 family protein, was identified as a candidate gene associated with cucumber vivipary. CsCYP82D47 exhibits obvious tissue specificity and is highly expressed in leaves, sprouts, and seeds. However, no significant difference in CsCYP82D47 expression was detected between viviparous and non-viviparous cucumber materials. Further sequence analysis revealed multiple mutation sites in this gene between different genotypes. Specifically, the CYP82D47 protein in viviparous materials harbours one amino acid insertion (L63) and two missense mutations (M71L and S124L). In addition, the altered leucine residue distribution in viviparous cucumber may enlarge the substrate channel and enhance substrate catalytic efficiency, which may contribute to the vivipary phenotype.

A chronic-acute combined stress (CACS)-induced rat model of IBS-D complicated with depression was established and treated with LMWPs. The study evaluated intestinal and depressive behavioral phenotypes, and integrated 16S rRNA sequencing, untargeted serum metabolomics and quantitative detection of fecal SCFAs for multi-omics correlation analysis. 1.

LMWP treatment was associated with reshaped gut microbiota, restored metabolic pathways, altered levels of 27 disease-associated serum metabolites, and increased fecal SCFA levels. 3. Multi-omics correlation analyses suggested that the therapeutic benefits may involve crosstalk among gut microbiota, SCFAs, and tryptophan metabolites. Larva-derived LMWP relieves IBS-D combined with depression by modulating gut microecology, SCFA generation and serum metabolic balance through the gut-brain axis, which can serve as a novel promising therapeutic candidate.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42653419/","authors":["Zhang X","Jin X","Ma H","Chu F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 19","doi":"10.3390/ijms27167419","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653415","name":"Single-Cell and Machine Learning Analyses Identify a PFKFB3-Centered Regulatory Network and Potential Salidroside Interaction in Coronary Heart Disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, driven by metabolic remodeling, vascular inflammation, and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) dysfunction.

It is traditionally indicated for conditions such as \"watery accumulation\" and \"abdominal masses (zheng-jia)\", which share certain similarities with the clinical manifestations of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including renal masses, edema, and body cavity effusion. Despite the recognized antitumor effects of Kansui Radix, the pharmacological basis and specific molecular mechanisms underlying its inhibition of RCC progression remain unclear. The goal of this study was therefore to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of Kansui-DCM in RCC and to explore its potential mechanism. To this end, the chemical composition of the dichloromethane fraction of Kansui Radix (Kansui-DCM) was characterized by UPLC-MS. The antiproliferative effects of Kansui-DCM on 786-O and RENCA cells were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Apoptotic morphology, apoptosis rate, cell migration and invasion abilities were assessed. An RCC mouse model was established, and tumor growth and histopathological staining were evaluated after drug administration. Immunohistochemistry, transcriptomic analysis, WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis), network pharmacology, and immunofluorescence were employed to investigate the molecular pathway. Protein and gene expression were analyzed by Western blot and qRT-PCR, respectively. Finally, the interactions between the active components and key targets were substantiated through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. A total of 1397 compounds were detected in Kansui-DCM by UPLC-MS. In vitro experiments demonstrated that Kansui-DCM inhibited the proliferation of 786-O and RENCA cells in a dose-dependent manner, induced apoptosis, and suppressed cell invasion and migration in RENCA cells. Treatment with Kansui-DCM markedly suppressed tumor growth in vivo, as reflected by a reduction in tumor volume. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that the expression levels of CD31, COX-2, and Ki67 were markedly decreased, while the expression level of CD8 was significantly increased. Integrated analysis using WGCNA and network pharmacology predicted that Kansui-DCM may exert its effects through the regulation of the HIF/VEGF signaling pathway, which was further validated by immunofluorescence, Western blot, and qRT-PCR assays. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated stable interactions between multiple active components of Kansui-DCM and key targets such as VEGFR2 and HIF-2α. In conclusion, these findings suggested that Kansui-DCM exerts anti-RCC effects associated with regulation of the HIF/VEGF pathway.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42653330/","authors":["Cheng Z","Chen X","Wang S","Bai Y","Zhou J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 16","doi":"10.3390/ijms27167325","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653282","name":"Comparative Elemental Profiling and Differentiation Analysis of Lonicerae japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos Based on ICP-MS/AES and Chemometrics.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Lonicerae japonicae flos (LJ), derived from Lonicera japonica Thunb., is a classic medicinal and edible plant traditionally used to clear heat, detoxify, and disperse wind-heat.

To address these challenges, we propose GAMT-GINE, a graph isomorphism network that integrates continuous spatial awareness with multi-task learning. The model employs minimalist atomic features and a batch-normalization-free mechanism, together with a multi-task branch that uses a large amount of half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) data as an auxiliary prediction target. Experimental results show that GAMT-GINE achieves a Pearson's correlation coefficient ( R p ) of 0.791 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.403 on the CASF-2013 benchmark dataset. In the generalization evaluation on CASF-2016, R p further increases to 0.831, while RMSE decreases to 1.227, demonstrating performance comparable to that of current State-of-the-Art models. Furthermore, comprehensive evaluations, including ablation studies, feature importance analysis, analysis of the effects of data filtering on model performance and data composition, and analysis of the influence of training-test data similarity on prediction results, indicate that GAMT-GINE can effectively utilize continuous spatial information and heterogeneous affinity labels, achieving good predictive accuracy and cross-dataset generalization capability.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42653201/","authors":["Li J","Li H","Wu D","He W","Cao W","Yang H","Hou Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 12","doi":"10.3390/ijms27167196","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42653178","name":"Maternal Dietary Yeast Hydrolysate Alters Milk Composition and Influences Metabolic Status and Gut Microbiota in Dezhou Donkey Foals.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Yeast hydrolysate (YH) has attracted increasing interest as a functional feed additive because of its potential benefits for maternal nutrition and offspring development.

This study evaluated whether GXN improves erectile function in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic rat model and explored the possible involvement of PI3K/Akt/FOXO1 signaling. Methods : STZ-induced diabetic rats with ED were treated with GXN. Artery pressure (AP) and intracavernous pressure (ICP) were measured to evaluate erectile dysfunction. Western blots, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, biochemical assays, TUNEL staining, RNA-seq, and in vitro HCMEC assays were performed to evaluate erectile effector cell function, oxidative stress, fibrosis, apoptosis, and PI3K/Akt/FOXO1-associated changes. Results : GXN improved erectile function in DMED rats and was associated with improved endothelial and smooth-muscle-related markers, reduced oxidative stress, attenuated fibrosis, and decreased apoptosis. RNA-seq and protein validation suggested that GXN treatment was associated with activation of PI3K/Akt/FOXO1-related signaling. In HCMECs, LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) partially reversed the GXN-associated improvement in cell viability and apoptosis-related markers.

This study aims to construct such a nanocomplex to enhance BA absorption and anti-AP efficacy with favorable biocompatibility. Methods : BA-CGA@NPs were prepared via supramolecular self-assembly and characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). In vivo pharmacokinetics evaluated BA absorption. Biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy were assessed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and an AP rat model. Results : BA-CGA@NPs were successfully formed with enhanced biocompatibility. In vitro, they reduced nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α ), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 β ) in macrophages. In AP rats, oral BA-CGA@NPs significantly increased systemic BA exposure, ameliorated pharyngeal histopathology, and lowered IL-1 β , TNF- α , and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum and pharyngeal tissue, outperforming free BA or CGA alone.

Neuroinflammation constitutes a core pathological mechanism in these disorders. The Kongsheng Zhenzhong Pill (KSZZP), a modern preparation derived from a classical Chinese herbal formula, are reputed for their sedative and cognition-enhancing effects. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its modulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation remains unclear. The present study was designed to assess the intervention effects of KSZZP on LPS-induced neuroinflammation in BV-2 microglial cells and to preliminarily explore the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Methods : An in vitro neuroinflammation model was established in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells. The chemical components of KSZZP were identified using UPLC-Q-Exactive HFX technology. The pharmacological effects of KSZZP were evaluated by assessing cell activation, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Molecular docking and Western blotting were used to explore the specific mechanism of its action on the cGAS-STING pathway. Results : Chemical analysis identified 67 components in KSZZP, primarily flavonoids, prenyl lipids, and isoflavones. KSZZP treatment dose-dependently inhibited LPS-induced BV-2 microglial activation and significantly reduced pro-inflammatory factor release. Furthermore, it alleviated oxidative stress, mitigated mitochondrial ultrastructural damage, and inhibited apoptosis induced by LPS. Molecular docking revealed that key active components of KSZZP exhibit strong binding potential to cGAS and STING proteins. Western blotting further confirmed that KSZZP dose-dependently suppressed the expression of key cGAS-STING pathway proteins (cGAS, STING) and downstream proteins associated with M1 polarization (iNOS, TNF-α, COX-2). Conclusions : This study indicates that KSZZP alleviates LPS-induced microglial activation, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis, and these effects may involve the modulation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Collectively, these findings provide a preliminary experimental basis for understanding the anti-neuroinflammatory mechanism of KSZZP and support its potential application in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42652048/","authors":["Zhang H","Wei D","Han X","Wu W","Liu X","Xu M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 24","doi":"10.3390/biomedicines14081665","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42651907","name":"Fucoidan Derived from Saccharina japonica Modulates Intestinal Morphology and Gut Microbiota in Weaned Pigs.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"With global restrictions on in-feed antibiotics, sustainable alternatives are urgently needed to combat weaning-induced intestinal dysfunction in piglets. Fucoidan, a bioactive seaweed polysaccharide, exerts beneficial effects on gut health due to its immunomodulatory and prebiotic properties, but its mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of dietary fucoidan supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, gut microbiota composition, and microbial metabolites in weaned piglets. The extracted fucoidan was characterized by a sulfate content of 23.7%, a molecular weight of 29.3 kDa, and fucose as the predominant monosaccharide. A total of 48 weaned piglets were randomly divided into two groups ( n = 24 per group): a control group and a 500 mg/kg fucoidan treatment group. Growth performance was evaluated throughout the experiment. On day 28, jejunal and colonic tissues were collected to assess mucosal morphology ( n = 6 per group), while cecal and colonic contents were collected for analysis of the gut microbiota and bacterial metabolites. Fucoidan supplementation significantly enhanced average daily gain (ADG, p < 0.05) and feed conversion ratio (FCR, p < 0.05) and mitigated diarrhea during the trial. Notably, piglets fed fucoidan exhibited increased villus height compared to controls ( p < 0.05). Fucoidan modulated the gut microbiota by increasing cecal microbial diversity ( p < 0.05) and shifting bacterial composition. These modifications involved an altered Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, as well as an enrichment of Prevotellaceae , Lactobacillus , and Lachnospiraceae ( p < 0.05). Consistently, metabolite profiling analysis revealed increased cecal concentrations of lactate ( p < 0.05) and butyrate ( p < 0.05), which were positively associated with the growth of beneficial taxa. These findings demonstrate that fucoidan alleviates weaning-induced intestinal disorders by improving intestinal morphology and modulating gut microbiota and their metabolites. This study provides a strategy for utilizing marine-derived polysaccharides as functional feed additives to enhance animal health.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42651907/","authors":["Liu P","Li P","Lin Q","Li M","Zhao J","Chen C","Zeng X","Ding Q","Jiang W"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 11","doi":"10.3390/ani16162502","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42651827","name":"Cross-Cohort, Renal Compartment-Aware Transcriptomic Assessment of Lycii Fructus-Annotated Targets in Diabetic Kidney Disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) differs transcriptionally across renal compartments.

Here, A homogenous AG-II-like arabinogalactan protein (CTSP-W2, 9862 Da) was isolated from Cynanchum thesioides via hot-water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and column chromatography. Its structure was thoroughly characterized by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Congo-red, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), methylation analysis. The mechanism of immune activity was examined using specific inhibitors, Western blotting, and molecular docking. It comprises galactose, arabinose, glucose, galacturonic acid, xylose, and 18 amino acids (asparagine-rich), with a backbone of →3,6)-Galp-(1→ and →6)-Galp-(1→.

Here, we systematically evaluated the anti-CRC potential of AGL using both in vitro and in vivo models. AGL significantly inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 and HCT-116 CRC cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner, induced G1-phase cell cycle arrest, suppressed cell migration, and promoted apoptosis and necrosis as determined by CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry, wound-healing assays, and YO-PRO-1/propidium iodide dual staining. Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of AGL-treated HT-29 cells revealed extensive gene and protein alterations enriched in pathways governing cell cycle control, apoptosis, and cancer-related signaling, and Western blotting confirmed the upregulation of pro-apoptotic proteins and downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins. Importantly, AGL also significantly suppressed tumor growth in an HT-29 subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that AGL exerts potent anti-CRC activity primarily through the induction of G1-phase arrest and apoptosis, supporting its potential as a promising natural lead compound for the development of novel CRC therapeutics.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42651782/","authors":["Guan H","Li Y","Xu M","Sun W","Wu T","Li S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 31","doi":"10.3390/cimb48080783","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42651773","name":"Metabolomics Reveals the Dynamic Characteristics of Flavonoids During the Different Developmental Stages of Citrus reticulata 'Shiyue Ju' and Its Mutant C. reticulata 'Denglong Ju'.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Flavonoids, prominent bioactive compounds in citrus fruits, exhibit diverse health-promoting properties.

In this study, a comprehensive untargeted metabolomics approach was employed to systematically analyze the flavonoid profiles in both peel and flesh tissues across six key developmental stages, leading to the putative annotation of 205 flavonoids. Heatmap analysis revealed higher flavonoid levels in SP-4 (STJ peel in stage 4) compared to DP-4 (DLJ peel in stage 4), potentially resulting from the substantial upregulation of genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis during this period. Furthermore, S-plot analysis identified salvigenin, demethylnobiletin, and nobiletin as key discriminators in the peel of STJ (SP), whereas sinensetin, tangeretin, and 3',4',5,7-tetramethoxyflavone were predominant in the peel of DLJ (DP).

However, the relationships among tillage, soil depth, Glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSP), and soil aggregate stability remain insufficiently understood, particularly in the Mollisols of Northeast China. A long-term field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of three tillage practices, including no tillage (NT), deep tillage (DT), and rotary tillage (RT), across four soil depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40 cm). Soil physicochemical properties, glomalin-related soil proteins (total glomalin, TTG; easily extractable glomalin, EEG), and soil aggregate stability indices, including mean weight diameter (MWD), geometric mean diameter (GMD), and the percentage of water-stable aggregates (R 0.25 ), were determined. Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to elucidate the relationships among soil physicochemical properties, GRSP, and aggregate stability. Tillage practices significantly altered soil physicochemical properties, particularly soil moisture and electrical conductivity, with responses varying across soil depths. Deep tillage generally enhanced EEG accumulation and improved aggregate stability compared with rotary tillage, whereas TTG exhibited relatively smaller variations among treatments. Soil moisture was positively correlated with GRSP and aggregate stability, whereas electrical conductivity showed predominantly negative relationships with biological indicators. Correlation analysis showed significant associations among soil physicochemical properties, GRSP, and aggregate stability. In the SEM, soil physicochemical properties were positively associated with both GRSP (standardized path coefficient = 0.205, p < 0.05) and aggregate stability (standardized path coefficient = 0.416, p < 0.05), whereas the direct pathway from GRSP to aggregate stability was not statistically significant. Tillage and soil depth were significantly associated with variation in soil physicochemical properties and GRSP, while soil depth also showed a significant direct association with aggregate stability. These results indicate that the final SEM supported a stronger statistical association of soil physicochemical properties with aggregate stability than of GRSP with aggregate stability. Although GRSP was correlated with aggregate stability in the correlation analysis, its independent contribution to aggregate stability was not supported by the final SEM. These results provide new insights into the processes associated with soil structural stabilization and offer a scientific basis for optimizing tillage management to improve soil quality and promote sustainable agricultural development in the black soil region of Northeast China.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42651708/","authors":["Wang C","Bi X","Yang Y","Wei Y","Chu M","Chen W","Wang J","Zhang J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 16","doi":"10.3390/biology15161404","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42651651","name":"Genome-Wide Identification of the SRZ Gene Family in Rice and Arabidopsis, and Functional Analysis of OsSRZ1 in Regulating Panicle Exsertion.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The Stress-Repressive Zinc Finger (SRZ) family is a class of zinc finger proteins in plants that has been closely associated with plant growth, development, and stress responses.

Methods : This was a cross-sectional study, and data were derived from the 2022 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). After data cleaning, 3666 valid samples were included. Depressive symptom severity was assessed using the 8-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D 8) (Cronbach's α = 0.771, Guttman Split-Half Coefficient = 0.742), with a total score ≥ 9 defined as probable depression. Self-reported memory function was measured using a single item (scored 0-4), with higher scores indicating better perceived memory, and was treated as a continuous variable for analysis. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using R software (version 4.2.3). The mediation effect was tested using the product-of-coefficients method combined with the bootstrap method (5000 resamples), supplemented by a quasi-Bayesian model and multiple sensitivity analyses (including outcome variable substitution and model diagnostic corrections) for robustness testing. Results : Among the study participants, the prevalence of probable depression was 25.18%. Correlation analyses showed that educational attainment was significantly negatively correlated with depressive symptom severity ( r = -0.177, p < 0.001) and significantly positively correlated with self-reported memory function ( r = 0.241, p < 0.001). Self-reported memory function was significantly negatively correlated with depressive symptom severity ( r = -0.223, p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, gender, place of residence, subjective income, self-rated health, and chronic disease status, mediation analysis showed that the direct effect of educational attainment on depressive symptom severity was -0.297 (95% CI: -0.424 to -0.174), while the indirect effect via self-reported memory function was -0.109 (95% CI: -0.139 to -0.082). The direct and indirect effects accounted for 73.20% and 26.80% of the total effect, respectively; the results of the quasi-Bayesian analysis and multiple sensitivity analyses were consistent in direction, further validating the stability of this mediation effect. Conclusions : Among young-old adults aged 60-74 years, self-reported memory function plays a partial statistical mediating role in the association between educational attainment and depressive symptom severity.

Dysregulated O-GlcNAc cycling has been implicated in major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and Huntington's disease (HD), through effects on disease-related proteins, autophagy, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory networks. However, available evidence does not support a universal model in which global O-GlcNAc elevation is uniformly protective or global reduction is uniformly pathogenic. In this mechanistic narrative review, we integrate disease-specific and substrate-focused findings while distinguishing relatively mature translational evidence from model-based or hypothesis-generating observations. We propose a state-resolved framework in which disease-relevant O-GlcNAc states are interpreted across biological contexts, substrate/site specificity, and intervention dynamics. This framework helps reconcile divergent findings across experimental systems and highlights the limitations of indiscriminate global pathway modulation. Although OGA inhibitors represent the most advanced therapeutic strategy, their broad substrate effects underscore the need for pharmacodynamic biomarkers, human validation, brain-targeted delivery, and state-resolved approaches.

Freeze-dried Poecilobdella manillensis powder (FDPMP), a traditional medicinal product, has shown therapeutic potential against hyperlipidemia; however, its underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, HL was induced in ApoE -/- mice by feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks, during which FDPMP or simvastatin (positive control) was orally administered daily. Concurrently, an in vitro foam cell model was established by exposing RAW264.7 macrophages to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL, 80 μg/mL) for 24 h, with FDPMP pretreatment applied 30 min prior to ox-LDL stimulation. Following intervention, serum lipid profiles, hepatic oxidative stress markers, histopathological changes, and cholesterol metabolism-related gene and protein expression were systematically evaluated. FDPMP administration significantly improved serum lipid profiles by reducing triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Additionally, FDPMP alleviated histopathological damage in the liver, kidney, and heart, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, and attenuated oxidative stress. Untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed that FDPMP markedly modulated key metabolic pathways, including choline metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism. Mechanistically, FDPMP restored cholesterol homeostasis through dual regulation of cholesterol metabolism, characterized by upregulation of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) to promote bile acid-mediated cholesterol excretion, alongside downregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) and synthase (HMGCS1) to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis. In vitro, FDPMP effectively suppressed ox-LDL-induced foam cell formation, reduced intracellular lipid accumulation, and mitigated oxidative stress in macrophages. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that FDPMP ameliorates hyperlipidemia through coordinated regulation of cholesterol synthesis and excretion, coupled with systemic metabolic reprogramming and antioxidative effects. This study provides mechanistic insights supporting FDPMP as a promising natural therapeutic candidate for hyperlipidemia and related metabolic disorders.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42650834/","authors":["Yang D","Hu Q","Shi F","Chen X","Lin Y","Fu C","Zhao F","Zou X","Bi X","Liu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 11","doi":"10.3390/biom16081168","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42650828","name":"Composite Hydrogel Loading Polysaccharides Derived from Coptis chinensis Franch. for Promoting Diabetic Wound Healing.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Efficient treatment of diabetic wounds (DW) remains a major clinical challenge worldwide owing to vascular insufficiency, multiple bacterial infections, and overactivation of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages caused by hyperglycemia.

In addition, a composite hydrogel system was successfully constructed by introducing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carbomer 940 for CCP delivery. The obtained hydrogels exhibited reasonable moisturizing, swelling, and drug release capacities, along with favorable rheological behaviors and certain antibacterial activity. More importantly, the in vivo wound healing model evaluation in diabetic rats demonstrated that CCP hydrogel dressings could effectively promote wound healing by reducing inflammation, accelerating collagen deposition, upregulating the expression of VEGF and key angiogenesis-related factors.

This malignancy remains a devastating disease with limited therapeutic options, largely owing to the intricate network of dysregulated signaling pathways. SUMOylation, a post-translational modification that governs thousands of substrate proteins, is markedly hyperactivated in GBM and represents a rational but underexploited target. Here, we found that honokiol (HNK), a natural biphenolic compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Magnolia species, suppressed SUMOylation in glioma cells, with a more prominent reduction in SUMO1-conjugated species than in SUMO2/3-conjugated species. Through a combination of label-free proteomic screening and functional biological assays, we pinpointed YAP1, a core Hippo pathway effector and established oncogenic driver in glioma cells, as a critical downstream target. Furthermore, our research indicated that inhibition of SUMOylation by HNK was associated with reduced levels of YAP1, resulting in glioma cell growth inhibition. Mechanistically, HNK induced YAP1 ubiquitin-proteasome degradation by disrupting SUMO1-YAP1 conjugation, leading to the subsequent blockade of YAP1 signaling. Collectively, our findings unveiled a previously unrecognized mechanism linking pharmacological deSUMOylation to YAP1 destabilization and emphasized the SUMO-YAP1 interface as a therapeutically actionable vulnerability.

Accumulating evidence has proven that ferroptosis dominates the pathological process of DIC yet efficient targeted treatment strategies remain scarce. The present work mainly focused on clarifying the protective role of quercetin (QUE) against DIC. Methods: In vivo rat models and in vitro cardiomyocyte injury models were constructed to mimic DIC. Echocardiographic detection and histological staining were adopted to observe overall cardiac function and myocardial fibrotic changes. Ultrastructural alterations of intracellular mitochondria were observed under a transmission electron microscope. Relevant ferroptosis and oxidative stress levels were further determined. Moreover, a Western blot assay and NRF2 gene transfection technique were applied to confirm the involvement of the NRF2 signaling pathway. Results: In vivo and in vitro experimental outcomes showed that QUE treatment effectively relieved abnormal cardiac function and myocardial fibrotic lesions and improved damaged mitochondrial morphology. It also markedly restrained excessive iron accumulation and abnormal lipid peroxidation and restored disturbed redox balance in cardiomyocytes. Further mechanism exploration revealed that QUE could facilitate NRF2 entry into the cell nucleus and activate downstream SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling to maintain cellular glutathione homeostasis. Silencing NRF2 expression could fully reverse the above beneficial influences of QUE. Conclusions: Collectively, our experimental data demonstrated that QUE confers cardioprotective effects against DIC within subacute rat models and cultured cardiomyocyte injury models.

We highlight that host species influence Taxilli Herba across three critical dimensions: (i) chemical composition, comprising both intrinsic bioactive compounds and host-derived metabolites; (ii) toxicity profile, where even hosts lacking cardiac glycosides may pose potential safety hazards; and (iii) pharmacological activity, where host identity modulates therapeutic potency and traditional medicinal properties (e.g., \"cold\" vs. \"warm\" nature). Importantly, we highlight that the cardiac glycoside test specified in the current Chinese Pharmacopoeia is insufficient to ensure the safety of Sangjisheng derived from diverse hosts. To address these challenges, we propose a host-governed quality paradigm comprising four pillars: (1) mechanistic studies on host-parasite interactions; (2) revision of pharmacopeial standards to restrict approved sources; (3) promotion of standardized cultivation using safe host species (e.g., Morus alba ); and (4) stringent quality control for edible and medicinal applications.

Recent studies reveal that H 2 S-mediated persulfidation is a key mechanism for fine-tuning NF-κB activity by targeting critical components, including p65, IKKβ, IκBα, and upstream regulators. Through site-specific S-sulfhydration, H 2 S modulates IKK activation, IκBα degradation, and p65 nuclear translocation, thereby limiting excessive NF-κB activation and inflammatory cytokine production. This review provides an integrated view of how endogenous H 2 S production and persulfidation-dependent signaling regulate inflammatory responses. Rather than simply summarizing individual pathways, we focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying H 2 S-mediated regulation of NF-κB-associated networks, including TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K/Akt/NF-κB, and MAPK/NF-κB pathways, and highlight its roles in oxidative stress, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and tissue repair.

In vitro, the extract exhibited significant DPPH, ABTS and ·OH radical scavenging activities, as well as ferric-reducing antioxidant power, in a clear concentration dependent manner. An inflammatory model was established by stimulating RAW 264.7 cells with LPS, followed by treatment with graded concentrations of the ethanolic SMS extract. The extract significantly reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide production and decreased the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, while suppressing iNOS and COX-2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. In parallel, the extract alleviated oxidative stress, as evidenced by reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MDA levels, increased antioxidant defenses including SOD, GSH and CAT, and decreased LDH release. At the protein-expression level, SMS treatment was accompanied by differential changes in p62, Keap1, total Nrf2 and HO-1 expression, suggesting that its effects may involve regulatory processes associated with cellular stress and antioxidant defense. Collectively, the ethanolic extract of SMS attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress responses in RAW 264.7 macrophages. These effects may be associated with the suppression of inflammatory mediator production, reduction in the cellular oxidative stress burden and modulation of proteins involved in cellular stress responses and antioxidant defense.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42650238/","authors":["Zhao N","Li H","Ji P","Wei Y","Hua Y","Guo Y","Wu F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 5","doi":"10.3390/antiox15080974","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z"},{"id":"pmid:42650211","name":"Comprehensive Phytopharmacological Profiling of Polygonum aviculare L.: Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities of Bioactive Constituents with Molecular Docking and In Silico Drug-Likeness Analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study investigated the extracts and bioactive constituents of the aerial parts of Polygonum aviculare L., a well-known traditional medicine for inflammation and diuresis, through bioactivity-guided investigation and molecular docking analysis.

Endophytic fungi are promising sources of bioactive metabolites for agricultural applications. This study aimed to isolate and characterize an endophytic fungus with antifungal activity against major wheat pathogens, identify its active compound, and investigate the underlying transcriptional response. Methods : An endophytic strain Y2 was isolated from Hedyotis diffusa leaves and identified through morphological and phylogenetic analysis based on TEF-1α and RPB2 sequences. Pathogenicity of strain Y2 was evaluated on wheat stem bases. The bioactive compound was purified by HPLC and identified by HR-ESI-MS and NMR. Antifungal activity was assessed using dual-culture and microbroth dilution assays. Transcriptomic analysis (RNA-seq) was performed on F. pseudograminearum treated with equisetin, with qRT-PCR validation of seven representative differentially expressed genes. Results : Strain Y2 was identified as Fusarium incarnatum or a closely related member of the F. incarnatum-equiseti species complex (FIESC) and confirmed to be non-pathogenic to wheat. The purified bioactive compound was characterized as equisetin, which exhibited significant antifungal activity with MIC values of 16, 32, and 64 μg/mL against F. pseudograminearum , B. sorokiniana , and F. graminearum , respectively. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that equisetin treatment induced a polarized transcriptional response in F. pseudograminearum , characterized by strong upregulation of ribosome and translation-related genes and widespread downregulation of other metabolic pathways, particularly nitrogen metabolism. qRT-PCR validation of seven representative genes confirmed the reliability of the RNA-seq data. Conclusions : Our findings demonstrate that equisetin is the active antifungal metabolite produced by F. incarnatum Y2, with potent in vitro activity against major wheat root and crown rot pathogens. The transcriptomic data provide insights into the potential mechanism of action, while the non-pathogenic nature of strain Y2 supports its biosafety. Although these results highlight equisetin as a promising lead compound for antifungal development, further in planta efficacy and safety studies are required before it can be considered for practical biocontrol.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42650062/","authors":["Liu M","Wang F","Han L","Yan F","Huang Y","Geng Y","Wen C","Song L","Zhang M","Liu F","Ma Q"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 25","doi":"10.3390/genes17080869","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"pmid:42649811","name":"Subject-Level Classification of Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head from Wearable IMU Gait Data Using Multilevel Feature Fusion.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Imaging underpins the diagnosis and structural staging of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) but does not directly quantify functional impairment during weight-bearing walking.

The Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus-Bolbostemmatis Rhizoma (ZBM-TBM) herb pair has been used in the treatment of BC, although its potential molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, an integrated strategy combining transcriptomic analysis, machine learning, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and single-cell virtual knockout analysis was employed to identify BC-associated molecular biomarkers and explore the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of ZBM-TBM. Integration of weighted gene co-expression network analysis with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, random forest, and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination identified EPCAM as the only common core gene. EPCAM was significantly upregulated in BC tissues and showed favorable diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.903), while high EPCAM expression was associated with shorter overall survival (log-rank P = 0.032). Functional analyses indicated that EPCAM was associated with tumor-related and immune-related biological processes, including cell cycle regulation, DNA replication, and immune regulation. LC-MS/MS analysis identified 32 major active constituents of ZBM-TBM, and subsequent network pharmacology analysis identified 33 overlapping targets and 10 hub genes enriched in multiple tumor- and immune-related signaling pathways, including the Notch, IL-17, HIF-1, and TGF-β signaling pathways. Although ZBM-TBM did not directly target EPCAM in the predicted target network, computational analyses indicated functional associations between EPCAM and hub gene-associated regulatory networks. Molecular docking and MD simulations further suggested that peiminine may represent a potential active constituent, exhibiting favorable predicted binding characteristics with multiple candidate targets, particularly AURKA. Single-cell virtual knockout analysis showed that computational perturbation of AURKA was associated with alterations in cell cycle-, extracellular matrix-, and cell adhesion-related processes, supporting its potential functional relevance at the cellular level.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42649570/","authors":["Tang Q","Niu D","Li H","Zhu HZ","Jin CH","Zhao GQ","Zhu XD"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1002/cbf.70285","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"pmid:42649545","name":"Efficacy and Safety of Abrocitinib in the Treatment of Prurigo Nodularis: A Real-World Study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42649545/","authors":["Gan YT","Zhou X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 27","doi":"10.1097/MJT.0000000000002207","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.018Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"pmid:42649519","name":"ShenNongDiet: a medicine diet recommendation system based on graph-semantic hybrid retrieval and evidence constraint generation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Medicinal diet, a core practice in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) rooted in the principle of \"medicine and food homology\", offers potential for chronic disease management and sub-health regulation.

Additionally, incorporating a fluorescent sensor for self-verification not only reduces the risk of false positives and false negatives associated with single-method approaches but also enhances the reliability of this study. Experiments demonstrate that the dual-mode self-verification strategy developed in this study features a wide linear range (MPO: 2.44 × 10 2 ∼ 5.00 × 10 5 pg/mL; IL-6: 9.75 ∼ 2.00 × 10 4 pg/mL) and low limits of detection (MPO: 49.10 pg/mL, IL-6: 1.03 pg/mL). Analysis of blood samples from healthy individuals has demonstrated that the developed dual-mode self-verification strategy exhibits extremely high accuracy and reliability. The proposed method opens a scalable pathway for the design of early, precise monitoring of CIC and provides new opportunities for the development of highly reliable multi-marker simultaneous detection platforms.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42648815/","authors":["He H","Sun B","Kang J","Chen M","Qin C","Wang X","Dong Y","Fu J","Zhang Y","Wu Y","Li H","Yang L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Oct 22","doi":"10.1016/j.aca.2026.345937","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"pmid:42648730","name":"Yinchen Tea Ameliorates Hyperlipidemia in Rats Through Hepatic and Intestinal Lipid Lowering.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study investigated the effects of Yinchen lipid-lowering tea (YCLLT) in a rat model of hyperlipidemia.

Cellulose- and lignin-based smart hydrogels offer a renewable and chemically versatile platform for addressing these limitations. Within these systems, cellulose primarily governs hydration, swelling, mesh size, mechanical integrity, and diffusion, whereas lignin provides aromatic and phenolic domains that may confer antioxidant, antibacterial, and redox-modulating functions. This review critically assesses cellulose-, lignin-, and other natural-macromolecule-based hydrogels from a payload-centered, barrier-adaptive perspective. Representative systems are compared by composition, crosslinking chemistry, stimulus responsiveness, payload class, encapsulation and release behavior, activity retention, barrier-model validation, in vivo performance, and translational constraints. Particular attention is given to the distinction between model compounds and authentic biotherapeutics, because high encapsulation efficiency and favorable cumulative release do not, by themselves, establish functional delivery. We evaluate the utility and limitations of pH-, enzyme-, redox-, temperature-, and light-responsive mechanisms in gastrointestinal, tumor, wound/skin, and central-nervous-system applications. Where available, quantitative evidence on release, degradation, rheology, activity retention, biodistribution, and therapeutic efficacy is highlighted. Finally, we propose a translational evidence framework that links raw-material identity and network transformation to payload integrity, biological activity, safety, manufacturability, sterilization, storage stability, quality control, and regulatory readiness.

Endocrine therapy, as a first-line treatment, is typically required for 5 to 10 years. However, joint pain is one of the most common adverse effects, affecting 50%-70% of patients and significantly compromising treatment adherence and quality of life. Current management strategies have limited efficacy. Electroacupuncture has been shown to alleviate joint pain intensity and improve related symptoms, but the need for frequent hospital visits imposes a logistical burden on patients and their families, which may reduce adherence and limit accessibility. Auricular acupressure offers a simple and safe alternative that provide sustained stimulation, and facilitates hospital-guided, home-based self-management between clinic visits. This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture and auricular acupressure versus waitlist control for endocrine therapy-related joint pain in patients with breast cancer.Methods and analysisThis multicentre, pragmatic, three-arm randomised controlled trial will enrol 200 eligible participants with breast cancer experiencing endocrine therapy-related joint pain. Participants will be randomised in a 2:2:1 ratio to receive electroacupuncture, auricular acupressure, or waitlist control. The primary outcome is the change from baseline to week 8 in the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) worst pain score. Secondary outcomes include the BPI-SF pain severity and pain interference scores, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health scale, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Endocrine Symptoms (FACT-ES), the EuroQol-5 Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L), the Quantitative Analgesic Questionnaire (QAQ), and the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ). Intervention adherence, endocrine therapy usage, and adverse events will also be recorded. Analyses will follow the modified intention-to-treat principle.

In this study, we established a mouse model of MPTP-induced neurotoxicity to investigate the associated pathological changes and underlying mechanisms. Behavioral assessments, Nissl staining, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and Western blotting were employed. MPTP exposure significantly impaired motor coordination, reduced neuronal viability, and led to the loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive DA neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). MPTP also activated the HPA axis, as evidenced by elevated levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), their respective receptors (CRHR, ACTHR), and glucocorticoids (GCs), along with reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression. Furthermore, MPTP promoted microglial activation and microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, characterized by upregulated expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and downregulated expression of Arg-1 and IL-10. Electroacupuncture (EA) intervention reversed these pathological changes. Notably, pharmacological activation of the HPA axis with Urocortin III counteracted the protective effects of EA, resulting in renewed DA neuron loss, reduced microglial GR expression, and exacerbated neuroinflammation. In summary, MPTP-induced PD is accompanied by HPA axis overactivation and downregulation of microglial GR signaling, suggesting that this pathway contributes to MPTP neurotoxicity.

Using an integrated immunoinformatics pipeline, we screened ten outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and identified Omp25, Omp31, and BP26 as the most immunodominant antigens. A fusion construct incorporating 24 HLA class I and 31 HLA class II predicted epitopes achieved 87.3% global HLA population coverage. Codon optimization improved the codon adaptation index from 0.55 to 0.93. Molecular dynamics simulations over 200 ns confirmed structural stability of the vaccine-TLR4 complex, with a binding free energy of -65.7 kcal/mol. In vitro assays demonstrated robust Th1-biased immune activation, with IFN-gamma reaching 125.6 pg/mL. In a BALB/c mouse challenge model, the mRNA vaccine conferred 80.0% protection, comparable to the live-attenuated S19 vaccine (92.3%) but without associated safety risks. These findings establish a promising platform for Brucella vaccine development warranting further evaluation in large animal models and human clinical trials.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42648033/","authors":["Dong Z","Li S","Guo J","Bao L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 23","doi":"10.1016/j.rvsc.2026.106359","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42647909","name":"Berberine Poisoning with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia: A Case Report.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Natural supplements are readily available without a prescription and are not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

MKP-1 inhibition exacerbated pain behaviors and enhanced microglial activation, with corresponding increases in pro-inflammatory mediators and p38 MAPK phosphorylation.

Upon low dose RNA virus infection, SESN1 level was decreased at infection early stage and was rebounded at late stage, which restrained SESN1-mediated MAVS degradation to clear virus at early stage and enhanced MAVS degradation to prevent excessive cytokines production at late stage. Whereas, SESN1 level was continuously impaired after high dose RNA virus infection, which caused robust cytokines production. Notably, we observed that the expression of SESN1 was markedly downregulated and negatively correlated with cytokine levels in patients with severe influenza.

Conventional therapies, such as subcutaneous insulin injections and traditional wound dressings, often face limitations due to poor patient compliance, procedural discomfort, pain, and insufficient efficacy in modulating the pathological diabetic microenvironment. Recently, intelligent microneedle (MN) patches have emerged as a transformative, minimally invasive platform to address these challenges. This review highlights intelligent MN patches as an integrated therapeutic interface for diabetes care, with particular emphasis on their potential to enable closed-loop glucose regulation and whole-course diabetic wound management. We first provide an overview of the current applications and design principles of intelligent microneedles (MNs) in diabetes management, highlighting the technological foundations that support their therapeutic functions. More importantly, we propose that the future of microneedle-based diabetes therapy should move beyond isolated sensing or drug delivery toward coordinated closed-loop systems. For systemic glycemic control, MNs may integrate interstitial fluid glucose sensing, abnormal glucose recognition, algorithm-assisted decision-making, and on-demand insulin or glucagon delivery into a \"detect-decide-deliver-monitor\" loop. For diabetic chronic wounds, this concept can be further extended into a \"monitor-respond-remodel-repair\" framework, in which pathological changes in the wound microenvironment are continuously monitored to guide stage-specific therapeutic interventions and promote tissue regeneration. Finally, we discuss the major challenges and future perspectives for translating intelligent MN platforms into clinically applicable closed-loop and whole-course diabetes management systems.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42647086/","authors":["Shi R","You Y","Jiang S","Hu A","Chen G","Lin K","Chen M","Deng Z","Yuan C"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 26","doi":"10.1039/d6mh01232a","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42646988","name":"Aqueous Extract of Saposhnikoviae Radix Antagonizes Arsenic Neurotoxicity via the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD Pyroptotic Axis: Translating Environmental Exposure into Neuropathology and Herbal Recalibration.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chronic arsenic exposure causes neurological damage, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

NaAsO 2 exposure induced anxiety-like behaviors and spatial memory deficits, accompanied by widespread neuronal damage (hippocampal pyramidal cell disarray, cerebellar Purkinje cell loss, and cortical vacuolation) and upregulation of pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, Cleaved-Caspase-1, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, IL-18) in brain tissues. SR treatment significantly ameliorated these behavioral and pathological changes. In HT22 cells, NaAsO 2 (12.5 μM) reduced cell viability, increased LDH release, induced pyroptotic ultrastructural features (membrane blebbing and pore formation), and upregulated pyroptosis markers; SR (400 μg/mL) effectively reversed these effects.

Behavioral assessments demonstrated that Cd-exposed mice exhibited pronounced deficits in spatial learning, memory retention, and working memory compared with control mice. Histopathological analyses of hippocampus uncovered accelerated Alzheimer's-like neuropathology, marked by elevated β-amyloid plaque immunoreactivity and tau hyperphosphorylation. Concurrently, neuroinflammatory responses were markedly upregulated, shown as astrocytes activation and pro-inflammatory Th17 cell signatures in parenchyma. Brain transcriptomic profiling revealed extracerebral prostaglandin signaling following Cd exposure, a finding consistent with elevated prostaglandins detected in the gut. Crucially, these outcomes were gut microbiota-involved: antibiotic-mediated microbiota depletion attenuated dietary Cd-enhanced cognitive impairments, neuroinflammation, and prostaglandin upregulation, underscoring the critical role of intestinal microbes in mediating Cd neurotoxicity. Furthermore, in vitro co-culture experiments demonstrated that Cd potentiated prostaglandin production in intestinal epithelial cells-an effect amplified by gut bacterial stimuli. This observation suggests a mechanism under which peripheral prostaglandins may contribute to central inflammatory cascades.

Here, we identified protein-derived candidate antiproliferative peptides from toad poison using an integrated proteomics and bioinformatics-guided strategy. Proteomic analysis identified 135 proteins, from which 2117 peptide sequences were generated via in silico digestion with trypsin and pepsin. Subsequent multi-step screening using PeptideRanker, AntiCP, iACP, and ACPred yielded twelve candidate peptides with predicted anticancer activity. Network pharmacology analysis suggested their potential involvement in cancer-related targets and pathways. ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) evaluation was subsequently used as a complementary assessment of drug-like and safety-related properties, further prioritizing four peptides for experimental validation, while molecular docking supported their interactions with key lung cancer-associated targets. In vitro assays demonstrated that three of the four prioritized peptides (WEAWN, NSQWG, and ACGVIGICQ) exhibited initial antiproliferative activity against human lung cancer A549 cells, though these findings should be interpreted with caution given the absence of a positive control in the MTT assay.

Existing multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO)-based feature selection algorithms suffer from two critical limitations: they generally neglect the stability of selected feature subsets and exhibit poor adaptability when processing high-dimensional data, which restricts their practical application in biomedical research. Methods : To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel MPR-MOPSO-ASFS algorithm. Specifically, we first construct a stability-driven bi-objective optimization model. Then, we integrate a Maximum Pattern Recognition (MPR) filter to achieve rapid dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional features. Finally, an improved Adaptive Sparsity Feature Selection mechanism is designed to simultaneously optimize the compactness, classification accuracy, and stability of the selected feature subsets. Results : Extensive experiments were conducted on three metabolomics datasets and five public high-dimensional small-sample datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed MPR-MOPSO-ASFS algorithm outperforms mainstream algorithms including CMDPSOFS and MOEAD-FS in core evaluation metrics such as Pareto front quality and classification accuracy. Additionally, we clarify the optimal configuration of the algorithm's core parameters and verify the collaborative effectiveness of its key design components. Conclusions : This study makes the first attempt to incorporate the harmonic mean of accuracy and stability into the multi-objective optimization framework. The two-stage combination of the proposed MPR strategy and MOPSO breaks through the performance bottleneck of traditional algorithms and significantly enhances their adaptability and robustness to high-dimensional small-sample data. The proposed algorithm provides an efficient new solution for feature selection in high-dimensional biomedical data and offers a technical reference for the application of swarm intelligence optimization algorithms in the biomedical field.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42646317/","authors":["Ye Q","Deng Z","Xie X","Huang Q","Luo J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/metabo16080581","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42646309","name":"Chemical Profiling and Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms of Heracleum millefolium Diels Revealed by Molecular Networking, Network Pharmacology, and Cellular Validation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background/Objectives : Heracleum millefolium Diels (HMD) is a traditional Tibetan medicinal herb that has been reported to possess analgesic, anti-edematous, and anti-inflammatory activities.

However, current therapies for IS are limited, and its mechanism remains unclear. Methods: SPF C57BL/6J male mice were used to establish the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. The Longa's Neurological Deficit Score and TTC staining served as evaluative metrics for the efficacy of the model. Untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed based on LC-MS technology, and PCA, PLS-DA, and KEGG analysis were used to explore the differential metabolites. Results: Compared to the Sham group, the neurological deficit score of the MCAO group was significantly higher at 2 h and 72 h after surgery ( p < 0.001). There was no infarct volume in the Sham group, while the infarct volume ratio of the MCAO group significantly increased compared with that of the Sham group. In total, 1836 metabolites were identified overall, and they were clustered into 14 classifications, with \"lipids and lipid-like molecules\" accounting for the most (34.45%).

Methods: On-tissue chemical derivatization MALDI-MSI was optimized using α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) as the matrix on a Bruker tims TOF flex mass spectrometer. The rats received PCPA (400 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) for three days to establish the insomnia model. Metabolite identifi-cation was conducted using MetaboScape® software (2020b) and the Human Metabolome Database. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was em-ployed to quantify nine key neurotransmitters and metabolites across six brain microre-gions. Key synthetic enzyme expression was evaluated by immunofluorescence and West-ern blotting analyses. Results: TMP-TFB-derived brain slices clearly showed the distribu-tion of neurotransmitters in brain microregions. MALDI-MSI demonstrated that the spatial distribution and abundance of eight neurotransmitters were disturbed in brains of PCPA-induced insomniac rats. A total of 346 metabolites were characterized across six brain microregions (cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, brainstem, hypothalamus, and stri-atum), with principal coordinate analysis revealing clear metabolic separation between control and insomniac rats. PCPA treatment markedly disrupted tryptophan and tyrosine metabolism, evidenced by decreased 5-HT, 5-HTP, and 5-HIAA, alongside region-specific alterations in DA, NE, HVA, and Ach. Additionally, GABA levels decreased in the hippo-campus, striatum, and hypothalamus, whereas glutamate increased throughout the brain. Targeted metabolomics validated the MSI findings, and Bland-Altman analysis confirmed good consistency between the two analytical platforms. PCPA further disturbed the meta-bolic enzymes MAOA, DDC, and TPH2 within the Trp-5-HTP-5-HT-5-HIAA metabolic pathway in the brainstem and TYH and DBA within the tyrosine-DA-NE metabolic pathway in the striatum.

Hyperuricemia is an established CKD risk factor, but whether FR-PT cells have a coordinated metabolic signature reproducibly detectable across mouse models and human kidney disease remains unresolved. Methods : We assembled a pre-registered meta-analysis of 16 public mouse-kidney metabolomic cohorts (383 samples; five model classes; three injury phases) through a three-path harmonization pipeline. Convergent validation drew on KPMP single-nucleus RNA-seq (78,480 proximal tubule cells), two-sample Mendelian randomization of serum urate (102 instruments) against AKI/CKD/eGFR GWAS, and cross-cohort human plasma metabolomics across 2058 CKD/DKD patients. Results : Mouse meta-analysis identified uric acid (g = +2.70) and AICAR (g = +1.50) as the only cross-class conserved metabolites, with uric acid peaking during the AKI-to-CKD transition and returning to baseline in mouse CKD due to uricase clearance. Cross-class overlap between model classes was low (mean pairwise Jaccard = 0.109, below the pre-registered 0.20 threshold), invoking the pre-registered M-S1 stop rule: model-specific metabolic responses dominate, and the conserved signal is a small two-metabolite core superimposed on these largely model-specific programs. KPMP failed-repair PT cells exhibited transcriptional patterns consistent with coordinated four-arm purine-pathway dysregulation (de novo synthesis ↑, AMPK ↑, MOCOS ↑, URAT1 ↓), with this transcriptional pattern observed in both AKI and CKD donors (Spearman ρ = +0.900). Mendelian randomization was consistent with a possible causal contribution of serum urate to AKI/CKD/eGFR risk, with colocalization evidence at GCKR (PP.H4 = 1.000). Cross-cohort human plasma profiling across 2058 patients confirmed the systemic detectability of 29 purine-pathway metabolites in uricase-deficient humans (a translational-plausibility check, not validation of cellular source). Conclusions : The integrated data support a model in which FR-PT-associated purine-pathway reprogramming may contribute to the elevated urate signal observed during AKI-to-CKD transition, with uric acid as the candidate metabolic readout. Differences in uricase activity between mice and humans may help explain why chronic-phase urate signals are attenuated in mice but persist in humans.

Mitophagy, as a key mechanism for selectively clearing damaged mitochondria, plays an important role in breast cancer-related processes. Berberine has shown its anti-tumor ability in multiple types of tumors, but whether berberine exerts its anti-breast cancer effects through modulating mitophagy-related genes remains to be elucidated. This study integrated the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and single-cell sequencing, explored the key genes that interfere with breast cancer, evaluated and verified the efficacy of berberine against breast cancer by molecular docking and in vitro experiments, and provided a novel direction to breast cancer prevention and therapy and drug development. Screening autophagy-related targets through the GEO database combined with the autophagy gene library and revealing the relationship within cancerous cells with immunological cells through single-cell sequencing. Using molecular docking and in vitro tests to evaluate and confirm the efficacy of berberine against breast cancer. In this study, 20 pivotal genes were screened and identified. These genes are mainly involved in autophagy-related pathways that are significantly activated in breast cancer. Enrichment analysis showed that autophagy and mitophagy pathways were obvious in breast cancer. The immune microenvironment of single-cell shows that pathological changes of fibroblasts and NK cells mediated by macrophage invasion in tumor tissue may be an important molecular mechanism of breast cancer. Molecular docking and in vitro experiments suggest that berberine can effectively inhibit breast cancer by targeting BECN1, BCL2, HIF1A, MYC, PINK1, and FOXO3 to regulate autophagy initiation and mitochondrial quality control, while CASP3 was assessed only at the mRNA level due to the intrinsic CASP3 deficiency in MCF-7 cells.

These findings offer a theoretical basis for further investigation into berberine in breast cancer therapy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42645668/","authors":["Wang H","Luo Y","Zheng K","Wu X","Lv J","Mei Y","Ren W"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 26","doi":"10.1007/s12013-026-02156-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42645570","name":"Erratum to: Combination therapy with mycophenolate mofetil, nintedanib, and tocilizumab in a patient with progressive systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42645570/","authors":["Chen L","Li X","Huang D","Chen P","Xu P","Chen H","Zhang X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 26","doi":"10.1007/s00393-026-01863-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42645435","name":"Perfusion imaging-guided risk stratification and endovascular decision-making in low-NIHSS large-vessel occlusion stroke: a systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) may present with low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, creating uncertainty regarding the need for endovascular therapy.

While previous reviews have predominantly focused on the role of mitochondrial transfer in individual cancers or specific systemic diseases, we made a comprehensive overview encompassing diverse cancer types. These findings suggest that EV-mediated mitochondrial cargo transfer represents a biological intercellular communication mechanism with implications for tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. It is worth noting that we also apply standardized evidence-grading frameworks (C1-C4) across cancer types to provide a critical assessment of the current evidence and identify key methodological gaps that must be addressed in future studies.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated cell death, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscle atrophy; however, the precise role of iron dysregulation in sarcopenia remains incompletely understood. In the present study, we identified ferroptosis in D-galactose (D-gal)-induced senescent myoblasts, as evidenced by elevated intracellular iron levels and lipid peroxidation, increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and upregulated expression of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), accompanied by diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), SLC7A11 (xCT), and glutathione (GSH) levels, as well as pronounced mitochondrial damage. Notably, treatment with the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) significantly attenuated senescence-associated ferroptosis. Moreover, D-gal-induced senescence in myoblasts was accompanied by reduced ferritin expression and elevated nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) levels, both of which were reversed by autophagy inhibition with 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or NCOA4 knockdown, suggesting that NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy is involved in senescence-induced iron overload and ferroptosis. Furthermore, senescent myoblasts exhibited increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial impairment, which were attributed to cytosolic iron overload-mediated upregulation of mitoferrin 2 (Mfrn2), thereby promoting mitochondria iron import. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of iron overload or ferroptosis by DFO or ferrostatin-1 (Ferr-1) effectively ameliorated skeletal muscle atrophy and functional decline in aged sarcopenia mice.

(2) Methods: We constructed a multifunctional nanocomposite hydrogel dressing (PGAs@CDV) based on a \"drug-carrier integration\" strategy, targeting the dysregulated hemostasis, inflammation, and proliferation phases of diabetic wound healing. An amphiphilic micelle carrier (PNO-GA) was synthesized by covalently conjugating Panax notoginseng oligosaccharide with gallic acid, loaded with Anemoside B4 to yield drug-loaded nanomicelles (PGAs), embedded into a carboxymethyl chitosan-dopamine-vanillin hydrogel (CDV) matrix to form PGAs@CDV. We then examined how PGAs@CDV affected diabetic wound healing. (3) Results: In vitro, PGAs@CDV enhanced cell migration and angiogenic capacity, exhibited potent antioxidant activity, and promoted M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization. We tested PGAs@CDV in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse wound model. Wounds treated with PGAs@CDV closed faster than those treated with the control, CDV, PNO@CDV, and AB4@CDV. Four readouts tracked this difference: hemostasis was quicker, inflammation was lower, more blood vessels formed, and collagen deposition was higher. At the pathway level, PGAs@CDV suppressed NF-κB signaling and activated PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α. These two arms map onto the anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects observed above.

This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the mechanisms, biomarker potential, and therapeutic implications of gut microbiota-associated molecules in AIS.

From 283 identified records, 87 animal and clinical studies met eligibility and were included. Evidence indicates that trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the tryptophan (TRP)-derived metabolite quinolinic acid predominantly promote neuroinflammation. They achieve this by disrupting blood-brain barrier integrity, activating pro-inflammatory signaling, inducing excitotoxicity, or enhancing thrombosis. Conversely, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), kynurenic acid, indole-3-propionic acid, and secondary bile acids exert anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects through immune modulation and microglial polarization. Clinical studies suggest TMAO may aid first-stroke risk stratification, while fecal SCFAs, TRP-related metabolites, and circulating bile acids show potential for assessing stroke severity or functional prognosis. However, findings vary based on specimen type, disease stage, and sampling time. Therapeutic approaches targeting these molecules-including metabolite supplementation, modulation of endogenous metabolite production, and nanodelivery systems-have shown encouraging effects, primarily in preclinical models.

In parallel, nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and molecular hydrogen (H2) have emerged as therapeutically relevant gaseous mediators with distinct chemical identities, tissue distribution profiles, and pharmacological constraints. This review re-examines these gases through a single organizing question: how can highly dissimilar small molecules converge on the same redox-defense hub? We compare the direct cysteine chemistry of NO and H2S with the mainly indirect actions proposed for H2, and we use the Nrf2/Keap1 axis as the mechanistic backbone for that comparison. NO and H2S are best understood as redox-active signaling gases capable of covalent protein modification, whereas H2 appears to act largely by reshaping upstream oxidative events, mitochondrial electron leakage, membrane lipid oxidation products, and stress-responsive signaling states. Despite these differences, all three gases can feed into overlapping kinase pathways, mitochondrial quality-control networks, and cytoprotective gene programs. A second goal of this review is to move beyond single-gas narratives. We discuss the extent to which gas-gas crosstalk, especially between NO and H2S and the buffering role proposed for H2 under severe oxidative stress, may create systems-level convergence rather than simple additive antioxidant effects. We argue that the most productive conceptual model is not \"one gas, one target\", but a context-dependent gas signaling network centered on Nrf2/Keap1, mitochondrial adaptation, and thiol chemistry. Finally, we assess the translational implications of this framework across ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, and aging. We highlight the practical constraints that still limit clinical implementation, including dose windows, burst release, tissue targeting, biomarker selection, and the difficulty of tracking reversible cysteine modifications in vivo. By placing NO, H2S, and H2 into one comparative redox framework, this review aims to clarify what is established, what remains inferential, and where future combination strategies may realistically emerge.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42644345/","authors":["Xiao T","Xia C","Huang L","Li Y","Liu M","Zhao P","Ma X","Xie F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 26","doi":"10.4103/mgr.MEDGASRES-D-26-00086","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42644164","name":"Post-Treatment Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide for Prognostic Stratification and Non-Invasive Ventilation Guidance in Elderly Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Heart Failure: The \"Subgroup with Impaired Cardiac Response\".","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Prognostic stratification in elderly patients with co-existing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and heart failure (HF) is challenging due to the limitations of static admission scores.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42644164/","authors":["Yang C","Cao X","Yang H","Lu H","Dong H","Yang K"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/IJGM.S617275","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42644153","name":"The Pleiotropic IL-9 Network in Asthma Pathogenesis and Targeted Therapy.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic airway disease predominantly driven by type 2 inflammation. The functional effects of classic type 2 cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13, have been extensively characterized. In contrast, the precise positioning of IL-9 within the asthmatic inflammatory network remains less clearly defined. Once viewed mainly as a T cell and mast cell growth factor, IL-9 is now recognized as a pleiotropic cytokine produced by diverse innate and adaptive immune cells, including Th9 cells and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). This review summarizes the expanding cellular sources of IL-9 and delineates its effector networks targeting immune and airway structural cells, highlighting its role as a context-dependent immune amplifier that may contribute to mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory persistence, and airway remodeling in specific disease contexts. We also dissect the spatiotemporal and endotype-specific roles of IL-9, ranging from early ILC2-associated innate inflammation and chronic Th9-associated remodeling processes to recall responses triggered by tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells and mixed Th2/Th17 inflammation linked to steroid resistance.

Its core mechanism involves an imbalance in myocardial oxygen metabolism, ultimately leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis or necrosis. As the central regulator of cellular oxygen sensing and adaptation, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IHD by orchestrating key pathological processes-such as angiogenesis, inflammation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction-through transcriptional regulation of diverse antioxidant and stress-responsive genes. Despite its importance, therapeutic strategies directly targeting HIF-1α remain limited. In contrast, natural products (NPs) possess a long history of clinical application and demonstrated safety, with distinct advantages including multi-target regulation and low toxicity, making them promising candidates for myocardial protection and drug discovery. Accumulating evidence indicate that NPs act through coordinated, multi-target modulation of the HIF-1α signalling network, though their complex mechanisms require further elucidation. This review summarises current insights into the regulatory role of HIF-1α in myocardial ischaemic injury and highlights the therapeutic potential of NPs in modulating this pathway, providing a foundation for novel anti-ischaemic drug development.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42644087/","authors":["He S","Wang Y","Shi Q","Zhang Y","Wang X","Wang C","Wang T"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1823774","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42644051","name":"Machine learning-based prediction model for postpartum stress urinary incontinence risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a highly prevalent condition that imposes substantial physical, psychological, and economic burdens, underscoring the necessity of early identification of high-risk populations to improve clinical outcomes.

This paper provides the first geometric validation within the Lo-Shu Projection (LSP) framework. Among 15 clean small-molecule TCM active compounds (MW<=400), TPSA (topological polar surface area) significantly separates Hot/Warm from Cold/Cool drugs (Yang mean=40.3 A2 vs Yin mean=76.7 A2, Mann-Whitney p=0.045*, Cohen's d=-1.03; Spearman rho=-0.514*). By contrast, Lo-Shu descriptors Q_LTE and GII do NOT separate Four-Qi nature (p=ns), establishing that thermal property operates at the molecular absorption layer (Layer 1), not the protein-target geometry layer (Layer 2).

This paper provides the first geometric validation within the Lo-Shu Projection (LSP) framework. Among 15 clean small-molecule TCM active compounds (MW<=400), TPSA (topological polar surface area) significantly separates Hot/Warm from Cold/Cool drugs (Yang mean=40.3 A2 vs Yin mean=76.7 A2, Mann-Whitney p=0.045*, Cohen's d=-1.03; Spearman rho=-0.514*).

Descartes freed science from theological bondage and gave humanity mathematical tools to describe the world; Comte gave science empirical standards and gave humanity scientific methods to verify knowledge. They even consciously knew their methodologies were “temporary”—Descartes explicitly stated in his Discourse on Method that his rules were only a “provisional dwelling,” and Comte expected later generations to correct old frameworks with new positivism. However, theoretical heirs treated their “temporary tools” as “eternal truths,” smuggling “methodological provisional distinctions” into “ontological ultimate facts,” “teaching tools” into “physical reality,” and “empirical standards” into “existential standards.” This smuggling process fully follows the five-step social alienation transmission chain, ultimately locking modern science onto two-dimensional paper and forming three sins: The First Sin—Descartes’ mind-matter separation, tearing apart the whole: medicine only cares about molecular targets, not the whole person, and traditional Chinese medicine is excluded for describing dynamic wholes; The Second Sin—Descartes’ two-dimensional cognition, flattening the three-dimensional: the Tokamak uses planar axisymmetric toroidal geometry to confine a three-dimensional spherically symmetric fusion process, failing for decades; medicine is trapped in the molecular target death loop; GDP as the sum of three items makes economic numbers rise while people collapse; The Third Sin—Comte’s mathematical positivism, treating “measurable” as the entirety of “existence”: long-COVID patients with normal test results are misdiagnosed with anxiety; meridians, proven by infrared thermography but lacking billing codes, are stigmatized as pseudoscience.

Descartes freed science from theological bondage and gave humanity mathematical tools to describe the world; Comte gave science empirical standards and gave humanity scientific methods to verify knowledge. They even consciously knew their methodologies were “temporary”—Descartes explicitly stated in his Discourse on Method that his rules were only a “provisional dwelling,” and Comte expected later generations to correct old frameworks with new positivism. However, theoretical heirs treated their “temporary tools” as “eternal truths,” smuggling “methodological provisional distinctions” into “ontological ultimate facts,” “teaching tools” into “physical reality,” and “empirical standards” into “existential standards.” This smuggling process fully follows the five-step social alienation transmission chain, ultimately locking modern science onto two-dimensional paper and forming three sins: The First Sin—Descartes’ mind-matter separation, tearing apart the whole: medicine only cares about molecular targets, not the whole person, and traditional Chinese medicine is excluded for describing dynamic wholes; The Second Sin—Descartes’ two-dimensional cognition, flattening the three-dimensional: the Tokamak uses planar axisymmetric toroidal geometry to confine a three-dimensional spherically symmetric fusion process, failing for decades; medicine is trapped in the molecular target death loop; GDP as the sum of three items makes economic numbers rise while people collapse; The Third Sin—Comte’s mathematical positivism, treating “measurable” as the entirety of “existence”: long-COVID patients with normal test results are misdiagnosed with anxiety; meridians, proven by infrared thermography but lacking billing codes, are stigmatized as pseudoscience. The paper uses the recurrence of the “wait for confirmation” inertia in Tangshan (1976), Wenchuan (2008), and Guangxi (2026) as final evidence: over 50 years, preemptive planning logic has barely evolved, and the system does not reward “acting early.” Final conclusion: the sin lies not with the founders but with the heirs—they lack direction sense, dare not ask, and never had time to ask. The founders are living people who know they can be wrong; the heirs are zombies who dare not let their masters be wrong. Only by institutional correction through the rotation designer system, dual-compulsory checks and balances, the Cold-Heat Cycle Axiom, and Direction Design before the thermal-warfare window closes can cognitive inertia be permanently welded shut.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21827175","authors":["全体人类, All Humanity","赵, 森"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21827175","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.33327326","name":"The roles and mechanisms of natural compounds in preventing and treating viral reproductive disorders in major economic livestock","source":"datacite","abstract":"Reproductive disorders from viral infections cause major economic losses in livestock.

This paper asks what that default consists in and where it resides. It argues that natural languages differ in which relational structures their grammars encode explicitly and at low cost, and that this difference is a matter of affordance rather than determination: no grammar prevents any ontology from being expressed, but grammars differ in what they make expressible cheaply and by default. The claim concerns logico-cognitive form and not doctrinal content. It is therefore not refuted by the observation that Vaiśeṣika articulated a substance ontology in Sanskrit; on the contrary, the Vaiśeṣika dravya is individuated operationally through inherence (samavāya) and quality-bearing, which is not the self-subsistent ousia of the Aristotelian tradition. A thesis about form that treats every articulation as confirming evidence would, however, be unfalsifiable, and §4 accordingly supplies two criteria of refutation: one internal to the Indian grammatical tradition (the Śākaṭāyana–Gārgya dispute over deverbal derivation) and one contemporary and measurable (structural analysis of clause architecture).Empirically, the position is anchored in SDI-GOC v3.1 [1]. Across matched neutral and relationally framed conditions, lexical polarity differs by +0.605 and exploratory structural polarity by +0.038; the interaction is +0.566 (95% CI [+0.459, +0.686]). Structural scores remain substance-dominant throughout. This output-level dissociation operationalises, but does not by itself prove, the distinction between describing a process-relational framework and constructing clauses within one. The paper does not claim that English syntax causes the default. Interpretability findings that localise English privilege to the output pathway [21], and that identify grammatical concepts as cross-lingually shared features [19,20], are engaged directly; they are compatible with an affordance thesis about output construction and incompatible with a thesis about deep representation.

A thesis about form that treats every articulation as confirming evidence would, however, be unfalsifiable, and §4 accordingly supplies two criteria of refutation: one internal to the Indian grammatical tradition (the Śākaṭāyana–Gārgya dispute over deverbal derivation) and one contemporary and measurable (structural analysis of clause architecture).Empirically, the position is anchored in SDI-GOC v3.1 [1]. Across matched neutral and relationally framed conditions, lexical polarity differs by +0.605 and exploratory structural polarity by +0.038; the interaction is +0.566 (95% CI [+0.459, +0.686]). Structural scores remain substance-dominant throughout. This output-level dissociation operationalises, but does not by itself prove, the distinction between describing a process-relational framework and constructing clauses within one. The paper does not claim that English syntax causes the default. Interpretability findings that localise English privilege to the output pathway [21], and that identify grammatical concepts as cross-lingually shared features [19,20], are engaged directly; they are compatible with an affordance thesis about output construction and incompatible with a thesis about deep representation. We propose ontological alignment as a fourth category of alignment and a research agenda directed at the layer where the phenomenon is measured.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19499883","authors":["MORANDI, ANTONIO"],"tags":["grammatical ontology","epistemology","large language models","traditional knowledge systems","Structured Distributed Introspection","Sanskrit","knowledge representation","philosophy of language"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.19499883","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17632/8zfwscn6tz.1","name":"Dynamic Infrared Thermography Visualizes the \"Dampness Stagnation Transforming into Heat\" Pathogenesis by Correlating with Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in a Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.17632/8zfwscn6tz.1","authors":["yan, xiaojun"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese Medicine"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17632/8zfwscn6tz.1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17632/8zfwscn6tz","name":"Dynamic Infrared Thermography Visualizes the \"Dampness Stagnation Transforming into Heat\" Pathogenesis by Correlating with Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in a Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.17632/8zfwscn6tz","authors":["yan, xiaojun"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese Medicine"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17632/8zfwscn6tz","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25345/c5222rm55","name":"MassIVE MSV000102994 - GNPS - UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS analysis of chemical constituents in Fufang Fufangteng Mixture (FFTM)","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25345/c5222rm55","authors":["Yang Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.25345/c5222rm55","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.8279435.v1","name":"Effects of huoxin formula on the arterial functions of patients with coronary heart disease","source":"datacite","abstract":"Context: Huoxin formula is a Traditional Chinese Medicine for coronary heart disease (CHD) treatment.

Mangelnde Konformität könnte künftig den Vertrieb von TCM-Granulaten gefährden. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Etablierung eines strukturierten Prüfkonzepts für gängige TCM-Granulate, um eine wissenschaftliche Grundlage für eine verlässliche sekundäre Identifizierung zur künftigen Eingangskontrolle zu gewähren. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde eine Testreihe von 12 nasschemischen Tests übernommen und auf TCM-Granulate angewandt. Die erhobenen Daten zu 329 Granulaten wurden normiert und systematisch bewertet. Resultierende Testergebnisse wurden in einem algorithmischen ID3-Entscheidungsbaum organisiert. Abschließend wurde die gesamte Methode kritisch bewertet und Optimierungspotenzial aufgezeigt. Die in dieser Masterarbeit vorgestellte Methode eignet sich prinzipiell zur validen Differenzierung von TCM-Granulaten. 169 der 329 Granulate konnten eindeutig identifiziert werden, was 51,4% Differenzierbarkeit entspricht. Unter Berücksichtigung der methodischen Limitationen gilt diese Rate als adäquat, aber verbesserungsfähig. In einem Bereich mit besonders niedriger Erkennungsrate konnte mittels einer vorgeschlagenen methodischen Optimierung eine signifikante Verbesserung der Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Zusammenfassend wurde ein solides Differenzierungskonzept erstellt, das reproduzierbare Ergebnisse liefert und durch die methodische Strukturierung qualitativer Analysen einen Beitrag zur künftigen Qualitätssicherung im Feld der TCM-Arzneigranulate leistet.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25365/thesis.81786","authors":["Ebert, Paul Lukas"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.25365/thesis.81786","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26181/23207018","name":"Platycodin D suppresses type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in primary and established cell lines","source":"datacite","abstract":"Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a continuous threat to the pork industry as it continues to cause significant economic loss worldwide.

Symptoms provide a shared phenotypic layer for linking Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which relies on symptom patterns for syndrome differentiation and treatment selection, with modern biomedicine, which connects clinical manifestations to diseases and molecular mechanisms. We present LingShu, a large-scale symptom-centric contextualized knowledge graph designed to bridge TCM and modern biomedicine. The exported version of LingShu analyzed in this study comprises 17.33 million atom-level entity records and 39.47 million relation records, including 17.19 million semantic triples and 22.29 million contextualized quadruples. LingShu integrates multi-source data, including clinical electronic medical records, authoritative TCM texts, biomedical ontologies, and curated knowledge bases, through a pipeline combining natural language processing, terminology normalization, and human-in-the-loop verification. A key innovation of LingShu is its hybrid data model: it maintains 64 typed triple relation patterns to ensure broad connectivity, while incorporating 35 contextual quadruple relation patterns to capture conditional medical associations. This dual-structure approach explicitly encodes conditional knowledge, providing a granular representation of the contexts associated with medical relations. These contextualized relations cover syndrome-dependent herb efficacy, disease-contextualized drug effects, population-specific clinical associations, and mechanism-related therapeutic responses. Furthermore, we developed a web platform (http://www.tcmkg.com/) that integrates graph visualization, graph-based reasoning, and an evidence-grounded knowledge question-answering agent.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2608.20402","authors":["Hua, Rui","Shu, Zixin","Chang, Kai","Yan, Dengying","Xia, Jianan","Zhu, Hui","Song, Shujie","Yang, Shurui","Wang, Tongxin","Yin, Yue","Wei, Yu","Pei, Lijuan","Hu, Yunhui","Xu, Hao","Xiao, Mingzhong","Li, Xiaodong","Yu, Haibin","Zhang, Runshun","Wang, Wenjia","Liu, Baoyan","Zhou, Xuezhong"],"tags":["Computation and Language (cs.CL)","Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)","FOS: Computer and information sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2608.20402","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19832849","name":"Ginkgolide B from Traditional Chinese Medicine for Hereditary Hearing Loss via Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Modulation","source":"datacite","abstract":"Ginkgolide B, a diterpene lactone from Ginkgo biloba, acts as a selective antagonist of platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) and inhibits inflammatory cascades in the inner ear.

Modern biology states: cells migrate along extracellular matrix fiber networks to form tissue. This paper demonstrates these are identical phenomena described in different languages. The mesh of Qi = bioconductive fiber network (SIBM); Qi flowing = microcurrent propagation; Flesh originating = cells electrotactically migrating to fibers and encapsulating them; Becoming muscle = alignment, contraction, and fusion of myoblasts driven by electrical stimulation. The physical identity of meridian structures is established as: acupoints = fiber network intersections / electric field concentration points; meridians = conductive collagen fiber pathways; Qi stagnation = current interruption / fiber rupture / cell necrosis; Qi abundance = current activation / fiber density increase / cell proliferation. The sequence of origination: the fiber mesh exists first (heart-generated electromagnetic field); electricity calls flesh (electrotaxis); flesh wraps each fiber (SIBM principle); muscle forms (myoblast differentiation via electrical stimulation); circulation completes (non-stopping self-reinforcing cycle).

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to Chinese medicine (TCM) electronic health records (EHRs) for tasks such as structured data extraction, syndrome differentiation assistance, and clinical note summarization. However, there is currently no agreed-upon standard for how these applications should be evaluated, and reported evaluation approaches vary widely in scope, metrics, and rigor. Objectives. This scoping review aims to (1) systematically map the methods used to evaluate LLM applications in TCM EHRs, and (2) build a classification taxonomy of evaluation dimensions and indicators. A specific agenda will be developed for the acupuncture specialty, identifying how LLM evaluations should be adapted to the needs of acupuncture clinical research. Methods. We will search Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP) and English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) from inception to the present, including peer-reviewed literature, preprints, and relevant grey literature. Two reviewers will independently screen titles/abstracts and full texts against predefined eligibility criteria, and extract data using a piloted form. Results will be summarized descriptively and organized into a taxonomy of evaluation dimensions and indicators. The acupuncture-specific agenda will be derived from mapped evidence and gaps. Expected outcomes. A comprehensive map of evaluation dimensions and indicators for LLM–TCM EHR applications, a reproducible classification taxonomy, and a specialty-specific research agenda for the acupuncture field that researchers and clinicians can use to guide future evaluation and reporting.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/tya6x","authors":["Anhong Dai","Chengmei Fang","Run Zi","Jieming He","Yu Chen","Yan Li","Die Hu","Linlin Zheng","Wei Zhang","Jing Shi"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","large language models; LLM; traditional Chinese medicine (TCM); electronic health records (EHR); scoping review; evaluation; evaluation methods; taxonomy; acupuncture; health informatics; natural language processing; medical AI; quality assessment"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/tya6x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/v9s4x","name":"Scoping Review of CRISPR/Cas-Based Detection Technologies for Traditional Chinese Medicine Quality Control","source":"datacite","abstract":"This scoping review aims to systematically map the current state of CRISPR-Cas based detection technologies applied in quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/v9s4x","authors":["youzhizhuo"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Life Sciences","Medical Specialties","Sleep Medicine","Research Methods in Life Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/v9s4x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.019Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/u7mbh","name":"Efficacy and Safety of Buyang Huanwu Decoction for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials","source":"datacite","abstract":"This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) as adjunctive therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

The active components and targets of Yougui Pill were obtained by searching the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) database and the Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mechANism of Traditional Chinese Medicine (BATMEN-TCM) database, and kidney deficiency syndrome-related targets were obtained in the Symptom Mapping (SymMap) Database, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome correlation database. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by using the STRING11.5 database. Then, we used CytoScape3.9.0 software to construct the network of TCM–active components–potential targets, and the core TCM components and core targets of Yougui Pill for the treatment of kidney deficiency were obtained. The function analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway enrichment analysis were performed in the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). Finally, preliminary verification was performed with the help of molecular docking technology. A total of 147 active components of 9 drugs of Yougui Pill (Fuzi [Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata], Shudihaung [Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata], Gouqi [Lycii Fructus], Shanyao [Rhizoma Dioscoreae], Shanzhuyu [Corni Fructus], Tusizi [Cuscutae Semen], Danggui [Angelicae Sinensis Radix], Duzhong [Eucommiae Cortex], Lujiaojiao [Cervi Cornus Colla]) were obtained, corresponding to 233 targets. A total of 2,235 targets related to kidney deficiency syndrome and 43 potential therapeutic targets were obtained after the intersection. The core TCM components mainly included quercetin, kaempferol, diosgenin, β-carotene, etc. The core targets involved Trp53 (Tp53), Akt1, Pparg, Nr3c1, App, Casp8, Mapk1, Cav1, and Ctnnb1. A total of 27 biological processes, 10 cellular components, and 11 molecular functions were obtained by gene function enrichment analysis, mainly related to the regulation of gene expression, cell apoptosis and proliferation, and the response to estrogen. A total of 51 KEGG signaling pathways, mainly involving a variety of cancer pathways, apoptosis pathways, longevity regulation pathways, etc. Yougui Pill can play a role in preventing and treating kidney deficiency syndrome through multiple targets and pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1807269","authors":["Haiyan Yang","Qian Shi","Chunchun

Chinese Medicine, Daoism and Aldous Huxley’s Holistic Health Vision in Island","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Aldous Huxley underwent a gradual intellectual shift from Western scientific rationalism toward Eastern medical and philosophical traditions as a lifelong patient and a pacifist. This transition marked a movement from curing disease toward cultivating health in its full complexity across individual, social, and ecological dimensions. This late vision of holistic health is subtly shaped by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Daoism. While merging into his writings as a pan-Eastern philosophy with Zen, Mahayana Buddhism and Tantra, acupuncture, Tai Ji Quan and Daoist thoughts influenced the writer’s understanding of holistic health in a more physically oriented way. In Huxley’s last novel, Island (1962), these three dimensions were respectively nurtured through body-mind alignment, non-coercive social organization guided by Wu Wei (无为 non-action), and harmonious coexistence with nature following the principle of “Order of Things”, the synonym Huxley used for “Tao”. Together, they form a vision of health that is preventive, relational, and fundamentally integrated, seeing mind and body, individual and society, human and nature as one interdependent whole. The reading of Island from the perspective of TCM and Daoist principles reveals their potential to reshape literary and cultural understandings of well-being. The convergence of TCM, Daoism, and literary imagination in Island opens fertile ground for interdisciplinary inquiry toward a more balanced, sustainable, and holistically healthier future for humanity.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000164","authors":["Chengyi

Chinese medicine (TCM) is an essential foundation for the modern scientific interpretation of TCM principles. Mass spectrometry is the most dominant technique in current research on the material basis of TCM, offering the highest sensitivity and the richest information provision. Establishing mass spectrometry databases represents the most effective approach to facilitating the structural analysis of TCM chemical components. This paper systematically searches and reviews literature published from January 2005 to January 2025 through online databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, and Web of Science, using “mass spectrometry database” and “traditional Chinese medicine” as keywords. It reviews the current status of seven TCM chemical component mass spectrometry databases and seven natural product mass spectrometry databases. The key advancements of these mass spectrometry databases for natural products are summarized, detailing their characteristics, search methodologies, included information, and data sources. Additionally, challenges related to data quality, standardization, timely updates, database interaction, retrieval functionality, and data sharing and security are discussed in depth. Furthermore, the paper explores prospective development directions for TCM mass spectrometry databases, emphasizing the importance of open data sharing, technological innovation, and data security. Through this analysis, the paper aims to offer theoretical guidance and practical recommendations for the precise identification of TCM components, as well as for the construction and application of these databases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000082","authors":["Yijun Wang","Zhiming Yang","Junxian Wu","Xiaoli Ma","Li Zhou","Xiang Li","Baiping Ma","Zidong Qiu","Liping Kang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-08T14:03:24Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000082","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100681","name":"Reply to: Progress in the application of AI in the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine: Discussion and prospects","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100681","authors":["James O.

In line with government efforts to formalize TCM practice, initiatives such as the establishment of the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) Division in 2004 and the gazettement of the T&CM Act 2016 have been implemented. However, TCM remains underutilized among the Malay population, primarily due to cultural, religious, and linguistic factors. This paper explored the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior patterns regarding TCM of Malay people who visited the Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in Shah Alam between October 2023 and January 2024. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at UTC Shah Alam in Selangor, Malaysia, using stratified sampling. A validated questionnaire was used to assess demographic information, knowledge, attitudes, and behavior patterns related to TCM. Among the respondents, both attitude and behavior pattern scores were generally positive. Financial status was identified as a significant factor influencing both attitudes and behavior patterns. Halal certification was identified as a key factor affecting the acceptance of Chinese herbal medicine. The findings suggest that possible pathways to broaden engagement would include increased availability of halal-certified TCM products, and clearer regulatory guidelines. Collaborative efforts that respect and incorporate local traditional practices, alongside support for localized TCM education, may contribute to greater inclusion. This localized model not only addresses specific community health challenges, but also offers perspectives into the potential role of traditional medicine in the global health landscape through cultural exchange and mutual learning.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000170","authors":["Sin Wei Tang","Ahmad Mujahid Mazlan","Hon Foong Wong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-30T12:02:22Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000170","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/3068-1987/1007","name":"A application of theory in the Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing Theory of benevolence art","source":"crossref","abstract":"The current study is designed to explore the application of Theory of Benevolence Art in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.52768/3068-1987/1007","authors":["Xia Xichao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-08T06:45:36Z","doi":"10.52768/3068-1987/1007","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000070","name":"Drug innovation via integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Innovative drugs are defined as new chemical entities that play a vital role in the treatment and maintenance of human health.

The nucleus pulposus cannot be repositioned by manual manipulation. Additionally, the so-called \"secondary or recurrent attacks\" of intervertebral disc herniation in clinical practice are not due to repeated protrusion of the disc itself, but rather muscle contraction, tension, injury, degeneration, hardening, thickening, and adhesion, which stimulate or compress nerves and cause sciatica.

Our objective is to screen natural compounds that can regulate OS‐related genes causally associated with hyperlipidemia, thus identifying potential treatments for the condition. Methods We integrated OS‐related gene sets with blood cis‐eQTL/cis‐pQTL and genome‐wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for four hyperlipidemia‐related traits, applying Summary‐data‐based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) to infer putative causal genes, and phenome‐wide association study Mendelian Randomization (Phewas‐MR) to assess potential side effects or other indications for identified OS‐related genes. Candidate natural compounds were prioritized using TCMSP, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. We additionally conducted in vitro studies to evaluate target‐compound interactions and functional effects. Results SMR identified five OS‐related genes (myeloperoxidase [MPO], tumor necrosis factor [TNF], haptoglobin [HP], dynamin 2 [DNM2], and plasminogen [PLG]) associated with hyperlipidemia‐related traits. MPO, TNF, and HP passed heterogeneity in dependent instruments (HEIDI) tests ( p > 0.05). Specifically, higher levels of MPO were linked to an increased risk of hypercholesterolemia (eQTL, OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.07–1.20, P fdr = 1.98 × 10 −3 ) and disorders of lipoprotein metabolism (pQTL, OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.06–1.36, P fdr = 4.99 × 10 −2 ; eQTL, OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15, P fdr = 2.86 × 10 −2 ). TNF displayed an inverse association with the risk of hypercholesterolemia (eQTL, OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.81–0.92, P fdr = 7.38 × 10 −4 ) and disorders of lipoprotein metabolism (eQTL, OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82–0.92, P fdr = 4.25 × 10 −5 ). Higher levels of HP were linked to a reduced likelihood of hypercholesterolemia (pQTL, OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.71–0.84, P fdr = 1.07 × 10 −7 ) and disorders of lipoprotein metabolism (pQTL, OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.68–0.86, P fdr = 4.53 × 10 −4 ). Furthermore, we identified 22 natural compounds, predominantly targeting MPO and TNF. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated a high binding potential and stability of the MPO–quercetin complex (binding affinity −9.6 kcal/mol; ΔGbind −31.04 kcal/mol). In vitro, quercetin attenuated palmitic acid–induced lipid accumulation and OS in hepatocyte‐derived cells and showed direct engagement with MPO with reduced thermal stability. Conclusion Our research suggests that MPO, HP, and TNF could be valuable therapeutic targets for treating hyperlipidemia. Quercetin directly engages MPO, mitigates lipotoxicity and OS, and may offer an MPO‐focused therapeutic strategy for hyperlipidemia.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/jfbc/5868015","authors":["Huanyu Jiang","Qian Dai","Quanyu Du","Tao Shen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-12T04:12:56Z","doi":"10.1155/jfbc/5868015","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.1411745","name":"Erratum to: Theoretical Basis of Color Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Application Exploration in Dermatological Diseases in Traditional Chinese Surgery","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.1411745","authors":["雯 韩"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-27T06:10:20Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.1411745","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s13596-025-00865-3","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine techniques for the management of fibromyalgia: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13596-025-00865-3","authors":["Helena L.

Despite improvements in screening and treatment, the progressive nature of precancerous lesions—such as atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia—necessitates effective prevention strategies. This review evaluates the role of chemoprevention in GC, focusing on agents designed to target these precancerous lesions. The interventions examined include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), COX-2 inhibitors, antioxidants, vitamins, folic acid, bioactive compounds, traditional herbal medicines and emerging agents like metformin. Additionally, the potential of oxygen radical scavengers, anti-inflammatory agents and pathway-specific inhibitors is explored. While promising, the clinical effectiveness of these agents varies, and significant challenges remain in translating preclinical successes into clinical practice. Large-scale clinical trials are essential to validate these strategies and determine their role in GC prevention, particularly for high-risk populations. Integrating chemoprevention with existing GC management protocols may offer a more comprehensive approach to reducing GC incidence and improving outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hcaf030","authors":["Tai Zhang","Xudong Tang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-29T19:19:22Z","doi":"10.1093/qjmed/hcaf030","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000042438","name":"Insights from bidirectional Mendelian randomization: Evaluating the influence of circulating inflammatory cytokines on prostatitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Research on prostatitis has primarily focused on inflammatory cytokines in semen or prostatic secretions, with relatively few studies investigating circulating inflammatory cytokines. To explore the relationship between prostatitis and circulating inflammatory cytokines, this study employed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the potential associations between prostatitis and 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines. We performed bidirectional MR to explore causal links between 91 circulating inflammatory cytokines and prostatitis. Data were sourced from 14,824 individuals of European ancestry and the Finngen database for prostatitis. The inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method was the primary tool, complemented by MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and MR-PRESSO to enhance result robustness. Heterogeneity and pleiotropy evaluations were conducted, and GO/KEGG enrichment analyses were used to explore the biological pathways linked to these inflammatory factors and prostatitis. The MR results revealed that Interleukin-10 receptor A (IL-10RA), Natural Killer Cell Receptor 2B4 (CD244), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) were identified as risk factors for prostatitis (IVW IL-10RA : OR = 1.242, 95% CI: 1.043–1.478, P = .015; IVW CD244 : OR = 1.143, 95% CI: 1.002–1.305, P = .047; IVW uPA : OR = 1.141, 95% CI: 1.009–1.290, P = .035). Conversely, Interleukin-12B (IL-12B) exhibited a protective effect against prostatitis (IVW IL-12B : OR = 0.909, 95% CI: 0.842–0.981, P = .014). Moreover, reverse MR analysis results indicate that prostatitis decreases plasma levels of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 23 (CCL23), IL-5, and TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE) (IVW CCL23 : OR = 0.949, 95% CI: 0.906–0.993, P = .025; IVW IL-5 : OR = 0.938, 95% CI: 0.890–0.988, P = .016; IVW TRANCE : OR = 0.947, 95% CI: 0.905–0.992, P = .021). This bidirectional MR study identified potential causal links between 7 circulating inflammatory cytokines and prostatitis, offering insights into its pathogenesis and potential targets for future therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000042438","authors":["Jiaqi Ma","Lilei Xu","Chuanlong Zhou","Zhe Shen","Kean Zhu","Xianming Lin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-12T21:01:10Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000042438","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.145305","name":"Research Progress in the Treatment of Anorexia in Children by Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Ethnic Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.145305","authors":["严伟 晏"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-22T04:28:01Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.145305","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00586-025-09089-0","name":"Causal relationship between BMI-mediated different modes of transportation and risk of osteoarthritis: a Mendelian randomization and mediation analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-025-09089-0","authors":["Xiaoming Xie","Kuayue Zhang","Yuan Li","Xinyi Li","Yi Lin","Liangqing Huang","Guihua Tian"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-22T10:47:14Z","doi":"10.1007/s00586-025-09089-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0045-1806864","name":"Interpretation of the Pathological Mechanism of Blood Stasis in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Light of Understanding of Hypercoagulable States in Modern Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract In both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern medicine, they agree that the integrity and healthy structure of the vascular endothelium are essential for normal hemodynamics. Damage to the vascular endothelium can quickly activate the extrinsic coagulation pathway by triggering the tissue factor (TF) and lead to coagulation. This damage, along with a loss of anticoagulant properties through antithrombin III (AT III), TF pathway inhibitors, and the protein C system, can result in a hypercoagulable state and even thrombosis. Hypercoagulability is not only a common feature of many cancers but also an important factor promoting tumor development and metastasis, which corresponds to the TCM theory of “blood stasis leading to tumors.” The pharmacological effects of heparin and aspirin have similarities with TCM's “activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis” theory in improving blood circulation, treating related diseases, and their anti-inflammatory effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1806864","authors":["Yong Chen","Yujie Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-08T23:33:22Z","doi":"10.1055/s-0045-1806864","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000147","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Images in English Newspaper Reports during Modern China","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The North-China Herald (《北华捷报》), founded and operated by Westerners in Shanghai during the late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China, was an English newspaper widely circulated in that era.

The TCM knowledge carried by the two newspapers included the history of TCM, basic theories of TCM, materia medica, as well as TCM practice and treatment. They maintained a relatively objective stance in the process by praising its long history, philosophical value, and significant efficacy. Meanwhile, they also held a critical attitude towards TCM, believing that some of its theories were superstitious, and certain diagnostic practices were inaccurate. Due to the fact that most translators were journalists rather than Chinese medical practitioners, the translation lacked in-depth and systematic research on TCM, thereby leading to a certain degree of misunderstanding and misconception. To sum up, The North-China Herald and The North-China Daily News played a contributing role in promoting the global dissemination of TCM knowledge during the late Qing dynasty and early Republic period by creating an objective and positive image of TCM from a third-party perspective.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000147","authors":["Shuaishuai LIU","Junhua LI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-26T02:00:07Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000147","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20241205005","name":"The establishment of \"Four Specialization\" Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing outpatient system and the characteristic nursing connotation of Traditional Chinese Medicine pediatric nursing clinic in the hospital","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20241205005","authors":["Jing LIU","Wenchao ZHANG","Weiling GUO","Jing LIANG","Danfeng ZHAO","Dahua ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-21T14:41:00Z","doi":"10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20241205005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-21609-y","name":"Pharmacovigilance study of adverse events of vedolizumab based on the FAERS database","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-21609-y","authors":["Guanghui Yuan","Jie Liu","Yi Xu","Zhaowei Shan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-28T14:46:43Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-21609-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2025.157515","name":"Constituents-composed Chinese medicine of Dajianzhong Decoction ameliorates Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via AMPK/PPARα/CPT1 signaling","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2025.157515","authors":["Chengxun He","Peipei Wang","Yuanyuan Zuo","Juan Guo","Qing Zhang","Shuyang Peng","Hong Zhang","Xueping Li","Chunjie Wu","Wei Peng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-08T01:45:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2025.157515","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12891-025-09296-2","name":"Age- and sex-related differences in lumbar disc degeneration and multifidus muscle atrophy: a retrospective MRI study of 238 patients with chronic low back pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-025-09296-2","authors":["Manman Tian","Bonuo Qi","Jingjing Zeng","Jiashan Chen","Min Lin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-19T09:52:23Z","doi":"10.1186/s12891-025-09296-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.48014/atcm.20250613001","name":"Research on the Reform of Teaching Mode of Analytical Chemistry in Traditional Chinese Pharmacy Based on “Guided Learning”","source":"crossref","abstract":"The traditional “teaching style” teaching model is led by teachers who impart knowledge to students, while students thinking and practical abilities are not fully utilized.

The “guided learning” teaching model is based on constructivist theory and zone of proximal development theory as its core foundation. Students take the initiative to construct and teachers design problem chains to build learning scaffolds, guiding students to cross cognitive intervals from independent exploration and achieving a student-centered and teacher guided teaching model. The “guided learning” teaching model emphasizes the cultivation of students autonomous learning and practical abilities.

Following the COSMIN framework, the scale was developed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, and expert consultations. A preliminary item pool was refined using item analysis and content validity evaluation. Psychometric testing was conducted in 2 patient samples. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to determine the factor structure. Reliability was assessed via internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test–retest reliability (ICC). Convergent validity was examined using composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE). The final scale contained 26 items across 5 dimensions: basic knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention. EFA supported a 5-factor solution, explaining 68.9% of the variance. CFA demonstrated acceptable model fit (χ 2 /df = 2.259, RMSEA = 0.075, IFI = 0.941, TLI = 0.933, CFI = 0.941, GFI = 0.822). Reliability was strong, with Cronbach α = 0.951, split-half reliability = 0.883, and test–retest ICC = 0.927 (95% CI: 0.86–0.97). Content validity was satisfactory (S-CVI = 0.933). Convergent validity was supported, with CR values between 0.735 and 0.973 and AVE values between 0.362 and 0.901. Notably, the basic knowledge domain showed lower AVE (0.362), suggesting item heterogeneity. The BISPTCM-PR-COPD is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing COPD patients’ intentions to participate in TCM-based pulmonary rehabilitation. It can serve as both a research tool and a clinical screening instrument to identify low-scoring domains, thereby guiding targeted education and support strategies and facilitating more effective implementation of TCM pulmonary rehabilitation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000045336","authors":["Yuyin Chen","Meijiang Chen","Xiuhong Long","Huiqiong Tu","Yuanyuan Zhang","Jie Jin","Yuhua Qiu","Wanlin Peng","Shujin Cheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-19T17:01:15Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000045336","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000041247","name":"Causal relationship between immune cells and heart failure: A Mendelian randomization study","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study aimed to evaluate the causal effects of different immune cells on heart failure (HF) using Mendelian randomization (MR).

TCM diagnosis, underpinned by unique theoretical frameworks and methodologies, continues to play a significant role in contemporary healthcare. The four fundamental diagnostic methods, inspection, auscultation-olfaction, inquiry and palpation, are inherently subjective, relying on practitioner experience. Despite its unique advantages and practical value, TCM must still take advantage of modern advancements to enhance its effectiveness and accessibility. With the rapid development of computer technology, intelligent TCM diagnosis has emerged as a promising frontier. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through large language models (LLMs), offers new avenues for enhancing TCM diagnostic practices. However, the systematic review and analysis of these technologies remains limited. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the development and recent advancements in TCM diagnostic technologies, focusing on the applications of ML across various data modalities, and including images, text, and waveforms. Additionally, it explores the latest applications of LLMs within the TCM diagnostic field. Furthermore, the review discusses the prospects and challenges associated with AI-based TCM diagnosis. By systematically summarizing the latest research achievements and technological advancements, this study aims to provide directional guidance and decision support for future research and practical applications in the intersection of AI and TCM. Ultimately, this review seeks to foster the continued development and integration of intelligent TCM diagnosis into modern healthcare.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x25500259","authors":["Lan Wang","Kaiqiang Tang","Yan Wang","Peng Zhang","Shao Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-16T01:51:02Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x25500259","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100707","name":"The role of Traditional Chinese medicinal plants in the management of fibromyalgia: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100707","authors":["Kaniga Pandi","Binoy Varghese Cheriyan","Kunal R.

However, there is limited research considering the role of work recovery (WR) and rumination in this relationship, particularly how poor WR can create a vicious cycle of negative psychological outcomes for medical staff. Objective In this cross-sectional observational study, the aim is to explore high-risk WR classes among hospital staff. By constructing chain mediation models according to the WR classes, the study seeks to identify which class of medical staff is most affected by work requirements in terms of mental distress, and to examine the chain mediation effects of rumination and WR classes. Methods The cross-sectional observational study utilized Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationships among various constructs. It employed the Work Requirements Scale (WRS), the Recovery - Stress Questionnaire (RESTQ), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), and the Revised Emotion Control Questionnaire (RECQ) to survey a sample of 889 hospital staff at a tertiary hospital. Results The findings revealed three distinct WR classes among hospital staff. Significant associations were found between work requirements and mental distress among medical staff in the low and moderate WR classes. Additionally, in these two classes, there were significant relationships in which rumination and WR classes had a chain-mediated nature about work requirements and mental distress. This suggests that future intervention studies should focus on these two classes and develop psychological health interventions for hospital staff according to different WR classes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40359-025-02588-1","authors":["Jinjin Li","Xinxin Ma","Wenhao Pan","Huihui Ke","Zhenghua Xiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-16T21:40:43Z","doi":"10.1186/s40359-025-02588-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-s29g7","name":"A Chlorooxime-Mediated Amidination of N-Terminus for Late- Stage Modifications of Unprotected Peptides","source":"crossref","abstract":"Late-stage modification of unprotected peptides at amine functionality has emerged as a powerful tool for modulating peptide structure and functions. However, existing methods often suffer from the challenge of controlling chemo- and site-selectivity due to the competition between the amine at the N-terminus and lysine side chain. Herein, we report a chlorooxime-mediated strategy for N-terminus-selective amidination of unprotected peptides that outcompetes lysine ε-amines. This strategy enables efficient synthesis of amidine-containing peptides carrying valuable payloads under physiological conditions, enabling late-stage derivatization of various peptides and peptide-based drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. In addition, this protocol was applied as a general platform for diverse transformations, including dual-amidination, head-to-side chain macrocyclization, aminosaccharide conjugation, and protein labeling. Furthermore, the amidine motif was utilized as a chemical trigger for site-specific amide cleavage, leading to N-terminus deletion, highlighting its potential for developing peptide sequencing technology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-s29g7","authors":["Fa-Jie Chen","Wang Gu","Xiao-Yu Luo","Wanzhen Lin","Fen-Er Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-14T03:03:32Z","doi":"10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-s29g7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.002","name":"Facial color-preserving generative adversarial network-based privacy protection of facial diagnostic images in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.002","authors":["Jilong SHEN","Aihua GUAN","Xinyu WANG","Jiadong XIE","Youwei DING","Kongfa HU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-21T22:16:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2025.12.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.146352","name":"Research Progress on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.146352","authors":["天华 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-13T04:32:12Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.146352","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2025.142069","name":"Research Progress of Diabetes Foot Ulcer Treated with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2025.142069","authors":["鹏程 赵"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-10T04:27:32Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2025.142069","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.838Z"},{"id":"pmid:42495894","name":"Research Trends and Insights in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Bibliometric Analysis (1996-2025).","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) is a major global driver of disability, with increasing attention toward individualized, evidence-based, and function-oriented interventions.

Identifying the target proteins of TCM is crucial to clarifying therapeutic mechanisms. One approach taken to enhance the breadth, depth, and precision of studies on the active cellular pathways induced by TCM is to use proteomics to reveal potential drug targets with direct interactions. Proteomic strategies facilitate identifying and characterizing target binding proteins relevant to metabolic pathways, which involves enriching the complex of small molecule and their targets based on the affinity, as well as utilizing the changes in physicochemical properties of target proteins that occur due to drug binding for proteomic identification and quantification. Probe labeling and enrichment technologies have accelerated the field of chemical proteomics. Technologies focused on measuring the changes in target proteins have been widely extended into several different approaches, and these now drive the establishment of further strategies. This review summarizes the advances in proteomics strategies mainly based on mass spectrometry (MS) for the identification of TCM targets to the present. Enhancing the application of proteomics would provide a new viewpoint on TCM treatment, while underscores the potential of TCM as biological probes and sources of novel drug candidates.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42491452/","authors":["Zhen X","Liu J","Ren Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul","doi":"10.1016/j.jpha.2025.101516","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42491261","name":"Illness acceptance and early self-management in older adults with prediabetes: the mediating role of depression.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Early self-management is essential for preventing the progression from prediabetes to diabetes, particularly among older adults who often experience difficulties maintaining stable health behaviors during the early adaptation stage.

Combination therapy is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes. In this study, cepharanthine (CEP) was explored as an adjunct to amphotericin B (AmB) to elucidate the potential mechanism of action of drug combinations against Candida albicans. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the checkerboard method, and the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was computed. The combination of cepharanthine and amphotericin B had a synergistic effect (FICI < 0.5) on both standard strains and 73 clinical strains of Candida albicans, leading to significant inhibition of metabolism, hyphal growth, and biofilm formation. Transcriptome sequencing, membrane permeability studies, assessment of mitochondrial membrane potential, and scanning electron microscopy revealed that cepharanthine primarily targeted the membrane structure of Candida albicans. RT‒qPCR analysis demonstrated that cepharanthine in combination with amphotericin B suppressed sphingolipid synthesis by downregulating the expression of the plasma membrane-associated gene PMP3, thereby compromising cell membrane integrity. Molecular docking model analysis further supported the binding affinity of both drugs to the PMP3 protein. The combined use of cepharanthine and amphotericin B presents a promising approach for the clinical management of oral candidiasis.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42489961/","authors":["Wang S","Zhang Q","Li Q","Wang G","Tan X","Liang Y","Zhu C"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 23","doi":"10.1007/s11046-026-01092-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42489856","name":"BMI-for-age Z-score trajectories in early childhood: a comparison of GMM and KML and associated antenatal and postnatal factors.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Early-life growth trajectories, especially during the first two years, are important for future health.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a promising therapeutic target, given its central role in driving GBM progression, invasion, and microenvironment adaptation. While several FAK inhibitors, such as TAE-226, have entered clinical trials, none have achieved approval, underscoring the need for novel, more effective agents. Through a structure-based molecular hybridization strategy that integrated key pharmacophores from TAE-226 and the clinical candidate GSK2256098, a novel series of N-methoxy-2-(pyrimidin-4-ylamino)benzamide derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among the eighteen synthesized compounds, 7h emerged as the most potent compound. It demonstrated superior enzymatic and cellular activity, with FAK inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 3.62 nM) and potent anti-proliferative activity against U87-MG glioblastoma cell line (IC 50 = 71 nM), outperforming the positive control TAE-226 (IC 50 = 4.81 nM and 0.49 µM, respectively). Furthermore, in the PAMPA-BBB assay, the passive permeability (Pe) of 7h reached 25.97 × 10 -6 cm∙s⁻ 1 , which was comparable to and slightly higher than TAE-226 (24.80 × 10 -6 cm∙s⁻ 1 ), suggesting favorable passive permeation potential that warrants further in vivo brain distribution studies. Mechanistic studies in U87-MG cells revealed that compound 7h induced apoptosis and pronounced G2/M cell cycle arrest compared to TAE-226 at equivalent concentrations, suggesting a potent anti-proliferative effect associated with FAK inhibition. In a U87-MG xenograft mouse model, 7h exhibited favorable in vivo dose-dependent antitumor efficacy with this specific model. At 10 mg/kg/day, its tumor growth inhibition (TGI = 54.1%) exceeded that of TAE-226 (TGI = 50.1%), while a dose of 20 mg/kg/day achieved enhanced TGI of 83.44%. Molecular docking simulations suggested that 7h combined within the ATP pocket of FAK, facilitated by synergistic hydrophobic interactions and key hydrogen bonds with residues ILE-428 and CYS-502. Overall, as a preliminary proof-of-concept, compound 7h represents a novel and promising FAK inhibitor, demonstrating potential for overcoming current therapeutic limitations in GBM.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42489833/","authors":["Chen Y","Wu T","Yang H","Fan A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 23","doi":"10.1007/s11030-026-11670-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42488843","name":"Amentoflavone: A safe and novel penetration enhancer for transdermal applications.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Most of existing chemical penetration enhancers are along with obvious toxicity and skin irritation, new penetration enhancer is still to be developed yet.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides a rich yet underexplored reservoir for anti-fibrotic drug discovery, valued for its chemical diversity and extensive clinical history. Nonetheless, conventional approaches to deriving therapeutics from these multi-component formulas face significant challenges, including low tissue selectivity, limited target specificity, suboptimal scaffold optimization, and incomplete cross-scale validation. Here, we summarize recent advances in discovering TCM-derived anti-fibrotic compounds and highlight emerging strategies, including tissue-oriented active compound discovery, fibrosis-target mining, scaffold optimization guided by targets and biosynthesis, and cross-scale validation. Building on these developments, we introduce the Smart Herbal-based Innovation and Translational Engine (SHINE), an intelligent discovery platform that prioritizes promising herbal candidates using modern computational and experimental methods; innovative development of optimized compounds or novel derivatives; a translational pipeline to unite preclinical findings and clinical validation; and a closed-loop feedback system where real-world evidence continuously informs drug repositioning and secondary development. SHINE bridges TCM principles with state-of-the-art drug discovery technologies, enabling the development of well-defined, mechanism-based small-molecule candidates from classical formulas. By integrating empirical herbal knowledge with advanced multi-omics, artificial intelligence, and biosynthetic engineering, SHINE aims to deliver first-in-class anti-fibrotic therapeutics with defined targets, improved safety, and demonstrable clinical efficacy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42488824/","authors":["Xin G","Wang T","Zhou Q","Zhang S","Wei Z","Li K","Chen W","Sun D","Chen S","Cong Z","Huang W"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2025.10.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42488795","name":"A Simplified Nomogram for Primary Population-Based Screening of Esophageal Cancer: An Internally Validated Shandong Cohort Study Addressing Data Imbalance.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"To develop and validate a user-friendly nomogram for predicting the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), designed for initial screening settings while addressing variable complexity and class imbalance in traditional models.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42488795/","authors":["Hou J","He X","Gao F","Ren T","Ren L","Wang X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/RMHP.S607198","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42488765","name":"Comparison of hybrid surgeries for the treatment of three-level cervical degenerative disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"In recent years, hybrid surgery (HS) has emerged as one of the major surgical modalities for the treatment of multisegmental cervical degenerative disease (CDD).

In this study, we developed lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mRNA and applied it locally to uterine incisions in a mouse model. HGF mRNA LNP treatment significantly increased endometrial thickness and gland density, reduced collagen deposition, and promoted smooth muscle regeneration and angiogenesis at days 7 and 30 postoperatively. Favorable trends in pregnancy outcomes were observed. Hematological and serum biochemical parameters remained comparable between groups at all time points examined. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that upregulated genes in the HGF mRNA LNP group were involved in cell proliferation, migration, and survival.

While Mpo-knockout mice exhibited attenuated liver injury and fewer AAI-protein adduction. Further investigation revealed that MPO mediates the metabolic activation of AAI, specifically its metabolite aristolactam I (ALI). An ALI-chloride (ALI-Cl) intermediate was identified in both ALI/leukocyte incubations and ALI/hypochlorous acid incubations. ALI-Cl exhibited chemical reactivity toward N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and cysteine, forming ALI-NAC or ALI-cysteine conjugates when ALI was incubated with leukocytes. Additionally, ALI-Cl also reacted with sulfhydryl groups on cysteine residues of cellular protein in leukocytes. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the resultant ALI-cysteine adduct matched that identified in the liver digests of AAI-exposed mice.

Conventional chemotherapy and immunotherapy frequently fail to achieve satisfactory efficacy due to drug resistance barriers and tumor immune escape. Herein, a hyaluronic acid‑cinnamaldehyde Schiff base micelle nanoplatform loading quaternary ammonium‑modified carbon dots (HACA@QASCDs) is rationally constructed, which achieves targeted killing of drug‑resistant tumor cells, remodeling of immunosuppressive microenvironments, and inhibition of distant metastasis via a sequential cascade of irreversible membrane perforation, mitochondria‑dependent apoptosis, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). HACA@QASCDs actively accumulate in drug‑resistant CT26 (DR‑CT26) cells through HA‑CD44 recognition and enable pH‑triggered QASCDs release in acidic tumor microenvironments. The liberated QASCDs elicit irreversible membrane perforation, leading to lactate dehydrogenase leakage, disrupted calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial depolarization, and subsequent intrinsic apoptosis. Such membrane damage simultaneously ignites ICD, and the released damage‑associated molecular patterns effectively drive dendritic cell maturation and M2‑to‑M1 macrophage polarization. In vivo evaluations in bilateral syngeneic tumor models reveal that HACA@QASCDs alone yields 54.2% primary tumor inhibition and 28.6% distant tumor inhibition. Upon combination with αPD‑L1, the distant tumor inhibition rate is markedly elevated to 68.7%.

Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for CLNM, and a nomogram model was subsequently constructed. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration analysis with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and decision curve analysis. Significant differences were observed between groups in terms of sex, tumor shape, boundary, calcification, and capsule contact (all P < .05). Multivariate logistic regression identified sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.817), irregular shape (OR = 5.585), obscure boundary (OR = 2.074), calcification (OR = 3.515), and capsule contact (OR = 2.927) as independent predictors of CLNM in PTC (all P < .05). A nomogram was constructed based on these variables. The area under the curve was 0.800 (95% CI: 0.723-0.876) in the training set and 0.775 (95% CI: 0.628-0.922) in the validation set. The model demonstrated good calibration and clinical utility as indicated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (P > .05) and decision curve analysis. A nomogram integrating ultrasound features and clinical factors was developed to predict CLNM in patients with PTC, showing favorable predictive performance and potential clinical utility. Future prospective, multicenter studies with larger sample sizes and more comprehensive datasets are needed to further validate and optimize the model, thereby improving its generalizability and supporting individualized clinical decision-making.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42470069/","authors":["Dong X","Hu M","Sun Q","Zhou Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 17","doi":"10.1097/MD.0000000000049837","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42470002","name":"A single-blind randomized controlled trial of ultrasound-guided Canggui Tanxue needling technique for contractural facial synkinesis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Facial spastic synkinesis (FSS) is a disabling sequela of facial nerve palsy, with current treatments limited by transient efficacy, severe side effects, poor precision, and lack of quantifiable targets/objective evaluation.

However, conventional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) workflows analyze metabolites in a largely non-discriminatory manner, resulting in systematic underrepresentation of specific functional and reactivity classes due to heterogeneous ionization efficiencies and matrix interference. Here, we report a chemoselective metabolomics strategy based on a modular reactivity-encoding platform (MREP) that enables functional group-resolved stratification of complex metabolomes. Four orthogonally designed alkyne-tagged probes selectively derivatize carboxyl, carbonyl, amine, and thiol functionalities under compatible conditions. The encoded metabolites are subsequently immobilized via azide-alkyne cycloaddition onto a unified solid-phase capture resin, which simultaneously removes matrix components and installs a diagnostic reporter module. This integrated encoding-capture architecture achieves high reaction orthogonality, near-quantitative conversion, and robust quantitative performance across structurally diverse metabolites. The resulting triazole derivatives exhibit markedly enhanced ionization efficiencies and generate a universal reporter-ion, enabling confident submetabolome classification and reconstruction. Application to serum and liver tissues from mice substantially expands the detectable chemical space, yielding 7 208 features and 1 573 annotated metabolites across four functional group-defined layers. Collectively, this work establishes the MREP framework as a versatile platform for reactivity-resolved interrogation of complex small-molecule systems.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42467898/","authors":["Tao X","Zhang CM","Yang RJ","Ren M","Zhong ZL","Wang KH","Hu RX","Liu JY","Zhou JY","Li HK","Wan JB"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 17","doi":"10.1002/advs.76599","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42466346","name":"The impact of the traditional Chinese spring festival on glycemic control in a hospital population: a lag time-window analysis of 300,046 HbA1c tests.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The Chinese Spring Festival involves marked lifestyle changes that may disrupt glycemic control.

Tai Chi is a Chinese mind-body practice and has been recommended for older adults. Evidence maps organize and synthesize information about evidence in a specific field or topic, highlighting consensus and knowledge gaps. This evidence map aims to identify the effects of Tai Chi on health outcomes in older adults. This map used The Campbell Collaboration's methodology. The search was conducted in five databases: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science. The Brazilian Academic Consortium for Integrative Health data of Traditional Chinese Medicine mind-body practices was utilized to manually include studies. The AMSTAR 2 was used to assess quality assessment, and the Tableau was used to graphically present the results. Based on 7.862 systematic reviews, we included 118 of Tai Chi for older adults. The quality assessment was 36 high, 07 moderate, 42 low, and 33 critically low. Each of the 238 effects was classified: 171 as positive, 47 as potentially positive, 13 no effects, and 07 as inconclusive. High-quality evidence that positive effects were related to balance, depression, anxiety, cognitive performance, risk of fall, quality of life, well-being, sleep quality, and Parkinson's disease. Inconclusive or no effect was related to concentration, agility, muscle mass, HDL cholesterol, stroke, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. The most widely used Tai Chi style was the Yang style, for two to three times per week, with each session lasting 30 to 60 min for 12 to 24 weeks. Most interventions targeted community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 69.5 years; among these, 42 reviews reported a female majority. Based on 56 associations, Tai Chi has been applied in different areas of older adult health. The effect of tai chi may depend on the style, frequency, time, and duration. Despite all results, the evidence suggests methodological rigor, homogeneous populations with larger samples. The Tai Chi effectiveness evidence map will serve to inform decision-making on healthcare for older adults, considering the Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021-2030 and the Global Strategy for Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine 2025-2034.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42465647/","authors":["Fogaça LZ","Schveitzer MC","Ferreira A","Feitosa ADC","Pratt M","Schlechta Portella CF","Ghelman R","Ramos LR"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fpubh.2026.1820294","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42464959","name":"The high-risk B-to-E transitional phenotype: a prospective multi-centre validation of patient reclassification under the updated GOLD 2026 criteria.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2026 criteria lowered the threshold for classifying Group E to ≥1 moderate or severe acute exacerbation in the last year.

It is particularly common among the overuse and aging populations. Traditional treatment options, including conservative therapies and surgical interventions, often yield limited success. Recent studies indicate that extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from stem cells provide a promising therapeutic avenue for healing of tendon and tendon-to-bone junction (TBJ) injuries associated with chronic tendinopathy. Their unique properties, such as higher cargo stability and the ability to serve as carriers for targeted drug delivery, position them as ideal candidates for tendinopathy treatment. However, the low yield of EVs presents challenges for clinical applications. This review systematically review various strategies to enhance EV yield and function, including preconditioning stem cells through biophysical, biological, or chemical means; genetic engineering of stem cells; in vitro loading of proteins or drugs and surface modification of EVs; and modifying the stem cell culture environment, particularly through three-dimensional (3D) culture techniques. Emphasis is placed on scaffold-free methods, scaffold-based methods, 3D printing, spinner flasks, and bioreactors, which can potentially improve EV yield and functions for tendon and TBJ regeneration. The review also summarizes relevant preclinical data and explores the molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced EV yield and functions, as well as the mechanisms of EVs on tendon and TBJ repair.

Evidence suggests that high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy with a proton pump inhibitor offers comparable efficacy with an improved safety profile. Methods This trial substituted the novel acid blocker tegoprazan for a proton pump inhibitor in the dual therapy regimen. We enrolled 400 patients with confirmed H. pylori infection from the gastroenterology departments of multiple general hospitals in Jiangsu Province between March 2024 and September 2025. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a 14-day course of either TA dual therapy (tegoprazan 50 mg twice daily and amoxicillin 1000 mg three times daily) or TBQ quadruple therapy (tegoprazan 50 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, furazolidone 100 mg, and colloidal bismuth pectin 300 mg, all twice daily). A 13C- or 14C-urea breath test was performed at least 4 weeks after treatment completion to assess the primary outcome of eradication rate. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of adverse events and medication adherence. Results In the intention-to-treat analysis, eradication rates were 87.5% (95% CI: 82.9 to 92.1%) for the TA group and 89.5% (95% CI: 85.3 to 93.8%) for the TBQ group. Non-inferiority of the TA regimen was established (P = 0.006). Similar results were observed in the modified intention-to-treat (90.7% vs. 94.7%; P = 0.012 for non-inferiority) and per-protocol analyses (90.6% vs. 94.7%; P = 0.012 for non-inferiority). The incidence of adverse reactions in the TA group was lower than that in the TBQ group, at 8.2% and 20.1% respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in medication adherence between the two groups of subjects (P = 0.197). Conclusion The efficacy of the tegoprazan dual therapy regimen in eradicating H. pylori was not inferior to that of the tegoprazan quadruple therapy regimen, while also exhibiting a lower incidence of adverse reactions. Adherence to medication was similar between the two groups. These findings suggest that tegoprazan-based dual and quadruple therapies may achieve satisfactory efficacy in eradicating H. pylori.

While both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia may worsen outcomes, yet the prognostic impact of distinct PaO 2 ranges has not been fully clarified. This multicenter retrospective study enrolled 1531 TBI patients from six Chinese hospitals between January 2022 and July 2025. Patients were stratified by average PaO2 in the first 72 h into three groups: 60-80 mmHg, 80-120 mmHg, and > 120 mmHg. We performed 1:1:1 multinomial propensity score matching. The primary endpoint was 28-day all-cause mortality. Subgroup and restricted cubic spline analyses were conducted to verify results. After propensity score matching, 408 patients were included in the final analysis. Crude comparison showed that 28‑day mortality was similar between the 60-80 mmHg group and the 80-120 mmHg group, but was significantly higher in the > 120 mmHg group. In multivariable Cox regression adjusted for confounders, using the 60-80 mmHg group as reference, the hazard ratios for the 80-120 mmHg and > 120 mmHg groups were 1.12 (95% CI: 0.65-1.93) and 1.89 (95% CI: 1.14-3.13), respectively. The duration of mechanical ventilation was 50, 131, and 120 h in the 60-80, 80-120, and > 120 mmHg groups, respectively (P = 0.038), while no significant differences were found among the three groups in ICU stay, hospital stay, pulmonary infection rate, or tracheotomy rate. Subgroup analyses and restricted cubic spline analyses consistently confirmed the robustness of these results. In TBI patients, PaO 2 80-120 mmHg conferred no survival advantage over 60-80 mmHg, while PaO 2 >120 mmHg significantly increased mortality risk. The 60-80 mmHg group had shorter mechanical ventilation. These data suggest that targeting higher oxygenation may not confer short‑term survival benefit and could potentially add to respiratory care burden, though further validation is required.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42457848/","authors":["Zhang X","Chen L","Su R","Chen F","Hua J","Zhang W","Xu Y","Xu J","Chen X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 15","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-62495-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42456132","name":"Clinical Study on the Prevention of High-Risk Pulmonary Nodule Progression With Yifei Sanjie Pill: Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"High-risk subsolid pulmonary nodules, especially mixed ground-glass nodules, can represent precancerous or early-stage lung adenocarcinoma spectrum lesions.

This study included 484 patients who received treatment from December 2014 to December 2024. Data on HIV viral load, complete blood count, liver and kidney function, lipid levels, and immunological indicators were collected at baseline and after the final follow-up. Multiple regression models were employed to identify factors influencing viral load, while the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare changes in indicators from baseline to the final follow-up. Additionally, a multiple regression model was constructed based on univariate linear regression to assess the correlation between immune and biochemical indicators. The INSTI + 2 NRTIs regimen demonstrated a faster rate of viral suppression (Adjusted P < 0.001), with a median time to virological suppression of only 10.44 months, shorter than that of the EFV + 2 NRTIs group (12.36 months) and the LPV/r + 2 NRTIs group (18 months). A numerically larger increase in CD 4 + T lymphocyte count was observed in the LPV/r + 2 NRTIs group. However, this was a small subgroup with limited statistical power; therefore, no reliable conclusion that this group is superior to others can be drawn, and the finding should be interpreted with caution. Longitudinal changes in total bilirubin from baseline to the last follow-up were non-significant in the LPV/r + 2 NRTIs group (adjusted P = 0.233). However, intergroup comparisons at the final follow-up revealed significantly higher total bilirubin levels in this regimen compared to the other two groups (adjusted P < 0.001). The EFV + 2 NRTIs regimen significantly reduced CD 8 + T lymphocyte counts (Adjusted P < 0.001) and affected changes in ALT and AST levels. Furthermore, after adjusting for confounding factors via multivariable regression analysis, white blood cell counts, platelets, triglycerides, and ALT were positively correlated with CD 4 + T lymphocyte counts in the EFV + 2 NRTIs group (adjusted P < 0.01). Notably, triglycerides showed no significant univariate association with CD 4 + T lymphocyte counts in this group ; this correlation only became statistically significant after adjustment for confounders in the multivariate model (adjusted P < 0.01). In the INSTI + 2 NRTIs group, multivariable analysis identified positive correlations of both white blood cell counts and hemoglobin with CD 4 + T lymphocyte counts (adjusted P < 0.001). In the LPV/r + 2 NRTIs group, multivariate regression revealed that only white blood cell counts were positively correlated with CD 4 + T lymphocyte counts (adjusted P < 0.01). The three HAART regimens exhibit differences in their effects on the rate of viral suppression, liver and kidney function, and immune reconstitution. In clinical practice, it is essential to balance efficacy and safety while effectively mitigating associated risks. Additionally, changes in biochemical indicators can be used to assess the recovery of immune indicators.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42443280/","authors":["Nie Z","Zheng Y","Ao S","Yang L","Li P"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 13","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-61081-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42443050","name":"Targeting TIME With Phytochemicals: A Promising Approach Against Lung Cancer.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Lung cancer remains an aggressive and highly prevalent disease worldwide, causing an estimated 1.8 million deaths in 2022 and becoming a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Resistance to current therapies necessitates novel approaches that target the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME), which is crucial for disease progression. Studies suggest that certain phytochemicals can enhance antitumour immunity by modulating the TIME. This systematic review aimed to elucidate and synthesise the mechanisms by which phytochemicals exert antitumour immunomodulatory effects in lung cancer and to assess their therapeutic potential and translational challenges. We comprehensively reviewed the literature from PubMed, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) until December 2025. Phytochemical mechanisms were analysed and classified based on their chemical structures and specific targets within the TIME. Phytochemicals effectively reprogrammed the immunosuppressive TIME using multi-target strategies. Key actions include the inhibition of immunosuppressive cells-such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), Treg cells, and M2-polarised macrophages (e.g., via STAT3 downregulation by dihydroisotanshinone I)-activation of effector cells (e.g., NK cells, CD8+ T cells, and M1 macrophages), and the reversal of T helper cell drift (e.g., panaxan and aesculetin). This multipronged modulation offers superior efficacy by enhancing CD8+ T cell responses and overcoming functional exhaustion. This review validates the significant potential of phytochemicals as novel multi-target therapeutic agents for TIME-targeted therapy in lung cancer. Future research should prioritise addressing pharmacological challenges to accelerate rational clinical integration.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42443050/","authors":["Xiang F","Lu L","Li F","Jing Y","Li Y","Cao J","Xiao C","Yang J","Zhang Q","Dong J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 13","doi":"10.1002/ptr.70381","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42443009","name":"Machine Learning for Predicting Ki-67 Expression in Renal Tumors: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"To systematically evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine learning (ML) models for predicting Ki-67 expression in renal tumors and assess their potential for clinical translation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42443009/","authors":["Liu Y","Zhu G","Xiu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Sep","doi":"10.1016/j.acra.2026.06.034","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42442809","name":"What is the methodological quality and predictive performance of prognostic prediction models for long-term outcomes in psoriasis?

Despite long-standing use for cardiovascular, rheumatologic, gastrointestinal, and pain-related conditions, its application is constrained by a narrow therapeutic index, variable processing practices, and recurrent reports of poisoning. Given the substantial number of existing reviews on aconite, this article is deliberately positioned as a clinical-regulatory synthesis rather than another general phytochemical or mechanistic overview. It complements recent integrative-toxicology reviews by linking phytochemistry, pharmacodynamics, toxicodynamics, clinical poisoning patterns, evidence hierarchy, processing variability, analytical quality control, and international regulatory governance. A structured literature search, informed by PRISMA 2020 reporting principles, was conducted across PubMed, CNKI, Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect for English- and Chinese-language publications available up to 31 December 2025, supplemented by pharmacopoeial and regulatory documents. Evidence was synthesised narratively because of heterogeneity in study design, model systems, preparations, and outcome measures. Diterpenoid alkaloids, especially diester diterpenoid alkaloids, are central to both bioactivity and toxicity. Preclinical studies suggest cardiotonic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunomodulatory, and anti-tumour effects, but many claims remain based on in vitro or animal models, isolated compounds, or multi-herb formulas in which Fuzi-specific effects cannot be separated. In contrast, clinical poisoning data consistently link excessive or inadequately processed exposure to cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity through ion-channel disruption, calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. The strongest human evidence relates to standardised proprietary formulations tested in larger controlled trials, whereas most decoction-based reports remain small, adjunctive, or methodologically limited. Overall, the novel contribution of this review is a practice-oriented risk-benefit framework that connects mechanistic plausibility with real-world clinical toxicology, quality-control checkpoints, and global safety governance.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42440987/","authors":["Tan RY","Ooi PJ","Xu X","Wei X","Wen X","Qiu Q","Yam MF"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1830589","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42440860","name":"Comparative efficacy of continuous versus intermittent administration of furosemide in acute heart failure: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of 22 RCTs.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Acute heart failure is defined as the rapid or gradual onset of signs and/or symptoms of heart failure severe enough to warrant unplanned hospital or emergency department care.

Advanced endoscopic techniques such as wide-angle colonoscopy (WAC) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) may enhance detection rates of SLs, but evidence regarding their combined efficacy remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of WAC combined with NBI in detecting SSLs compared to NBI alone and standard white-light endoscopy (WLE) during colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. In this single-center retrospective observational cohort study, the clinical records of 342 eligible patients who underwent CRC screening at Rongchang District Hospital between January 4, 2024, and January 31, 2025, were reviewed. Data were extracted from the Epic-Hyperspace electronic medical record system and institutional endoscopy/pathology records. Patients were categorized according to the imaging strategy documented during colonoscopy: WAC + NBI, full procedure with 170° view and NBI, n = 114; WLE + NBI, white-light examination with selective NBI activation, n = 114; or WLE + WAC, 170° wide-angle without NBI, n = 114. The primary outcome was sessile serrated lesion detection rate. Endoscopic procedures were performed using Olympus 290 systems. Histopathological diagnosis was conducted by pathologists blinded to the imaging group. In unadjusted comparisons, the WAC + NBI group had a higher sessile serrated lesion detection rate (18.4%) than both the WLE + NBI group (11.4%, P < .05, and the WLE + WAC group (7.9%, P < .05. No significant differences were observed in most secondary outcomes. The exploratory adenoma miss rate in a 10% subsample was numerically lower in WAC + NBI (11.1%) than in WLE + WAC (27.8%, P > .05. Procedurally, WAC + NBI required longer withdrawal times (9.3 ± 1.5 minutes) than comparator groups (8.0-8.1 minutes, P < .05. The combination of WAC and NBI may offer clinical advantages in improving SSL detection during CRC screening. These findings could support broader adoption of advanced endoscopic technologies in population-based screening programs. These findings should be interpreted cautiously and validated in prospective multicenter studies.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42432949/","authors":["Liu B","Wang H","Li L","Huang X","Hou L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 10","doi":"10.1097/MD.0000000000049637","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42432929","name":"Bibliometric analysis of deprescribing in older adults based on web of science.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"With the deepening of societal aging, the older adults with comorbidities continues to grow, leading to a rise in the phenomenon of polypharmacy.

Although previous studies have identified various risk factors, substantial heterogeneity exists across regions and populations, and most investigations have not comprehensively integrated metabolic markers, microvascular damage, and electrophysiological data. Therefore, a multidimensional assessment of DSPN risk factors is essential to improve early screening and risk-prediction strategies. A total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled, including 60 with DSPN and 60 without. Compared with the non-DSPN group, patients with DSPN were older, had longer diabetes duration, and demonstrated a higher prevalence of smoking, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and diabetic kidney disease. DSPN patients exhibited poorer glycemic control (higher fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]), more pronounced dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and abnormalities in inflammatory and nutritional markers (elevated C-reactive protein and homocysteine [HCY], reduced vitamin B12). Renal function parameters (serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin-creatinine ratio) indicated more severe microvascular impairment in the DSPN group. Electrophysiological testing showed reduced sensory and motor nerve conduction velocities, decreased amplitudes, and prolonged latencies. Multivariable logistic regression identified diabetes duration, DR, elevated HbA1c, elevated HCY, and reduced sural nerve amplitude as independent risk factors for DSPN. Longer diabetes duration, DR, elevated HbA1c, elevated HCY levels, and reduced sural nerve amplitude were independently associated with DSPN in patients with T2DM. These findings may contribute to improved risk stratification and support further investigation of multidimensional approaches for early DSPN identification. This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients with T2DM treated at our hospital between June 2023 and June 2025. DSPN was diagnosed based on American Diabetes Association, European Federation of Neurological Societies, and diabetic neuropathy working group criteria using a combination of clinical symptoms, neurological signs, and nerve conduction studies. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, diabetes-related complications, glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, renal function, inflammatory and nutritional markers, and electrophysiological parameters were collected. Group differences were assessed using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Variables with P < .10 in univariate analyses were entered into multivariable logistic regression to identify independent risk factors for DSPN. Sensitivity analyses and collinearity diagnostics were performed to assess the robustness of the findings.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42432891/","authors":["Yang L","Deng R","Chen L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 10","doi":"10.1097/MD.0000000000049467","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42432795","name":"A comparative study on the pharmacological effects of Achyranthes root against atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) mice based on the spectrum-effect relationship.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"In traditional Chinese medicine, herbal processing is used to modify the effects of herbs.

We conducted a cross-sectional study of consecutive inpatients with chronic pain (duration ≥ 3 months) admitted to an orthopedics/traumatology service from March 31 to September 28, 2025. Adults (≥ 18 years; right-handed) were excluded for severe internal disease or acute trauma, major psychiatric disorders, marked cognitive impairment, or recent use of anxiolytics/hypnotics. At admission, 5-min fingertip PPG-HRV was recorded under standardized bedside conditions, with artifact correction, stationarity checking, and quality-control screening applied before analysis. Outcomes were the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14), and a composite \"sleep problems\" index computed as the mean of z-scored HAMD insomnia items and the BPI-SF sleep-interference item. Analyses included correlations, cross-validated random-forest regression incorporating logarithmically transformed HF power (lnHF), and Hayes' PROCESS Model 1 testing sleep as a moderator of the pain→emotion pathway. A total of 172 patients were enrolled (37.2% men; mean age 59.2 years). lnHF was significantly associated with HFnorm, pain, sleep disturbance, and depression, but not anxiety. Random-forest models showed the strongest predictive performance for sleep disturbance (R 2 _CV = 0.844), followed by depression (R 2 _CV = 0.696) and pain-related burden (R 2 _CV = 0.506), whereas anxiety showed limited predictive performance (R 2 _CV = 0.009). HFnorm and lnHF emerged as recurrently important predictors of pain, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms. In moderation analyses, pain×sleep interactions were significant for anxiety (model R 2 = 0.465; β = 0.159; ΔR 2 = 0.026; p < 0.01) and depression (model R 2 = 0.513; β = 0.252; ΔR 2 = 0.066; p < 0.001). Brief bedside PPG-HRV, particularly HF-related indices such as lnHF and HFnorm, provides auxiliary physiological information related to pain, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms in hospitalized adults with chronic pain. Sleep disturbance amplified the association between pain and emotional symptoms, supporting the clinical relevance of the pain-sleep-emotion pathway. HRV is not suitable for diagnosis or stand-alone decision-making, but may serve as a practical adjunctive marker for risk stratification and symptom monitoring.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42429913/","authors":["Hu J","Xiao Y","Ma G","Yao B","Li J","An H","Wang G","Chen Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 10","doi":"10.1007/s10484-026-09797-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:03.839Z"},{"id":"pmid:42429304","name":"Hypercapnia is associated with an increased risk of ICU admission and reduced inflammatory responses in AECOPD patients with severe pneumonia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Hypercapnia is linked to a poor prognosis in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP), and reduced early anti-inflammatory capacity in SCAP.

Standard risk assessment methodologies, such as the Caprini score, which is a commonly utilized tool for risk assessment, do not sufficiently account for the unique vulnerabilities inherent to this specialty. To address these deficiencies, we aimed to develop a preliminary machine learning framework for predicting venous thromboembolism (VTE) in gynecological contexts.MethodsIn this retrospective case-control investigation, we identified 75 patients who were consecutively diagnosed with postoperative VTE after undergoing gynecological surgery at Ningbo NO.2 Hospital between March 2020 and February 2025. Controls were chosen using a matching protocol at a ratio of 1:3, resulting in the random selection of 225 patients free from VTE within the same surgical cohort during the same period. An Extremely Randomized Trees (Extratrees) machine learning classifier was constructed, incorporating 22 clinically relevant predictors identified by univariate analyses. We utilized the new model to compare it against the Caprini score.ResultsThe model was trained and validated with a class-stratified 70:30 split and exhibited remarkable discriminative ability, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.907 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.833-0.972], significantly exceeding the performance of the Caprini score (AUC 0.731, 95% CI: 0.660-0.803).

A total of 174 patients who underwent PCI between July 2024 and July 2025 were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 87) and a 5G group (n = 87), both receiving 12 months of follow-up. The control group received phase I and II cardiac rehabilitation, personalized exercise plans, and routine follow-up. In addition to this, the 5G group received remote rehabilitation guided by wearable devices. Clinical indicators, cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, psychological status, and the impact of different variables on the risk of adverse cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups. Overall adherence in this study was 87.88% from baseline to the end of the 12-month follow-up. Thecontrol group showed improvements in both LDL-C and LVEF levels post-intervention (P K 0.05). Furthermore, patients receiving 5G intervention demonstrated significant improvements in TC andLVEF (P < 0.01). Changes in VO2 peak and METs were also significantly greater in the 5G groupcompared to the control group (VO2 peak: d = 0.61, P < 0.001; METs: d = 0.78, P < 0.001). Additionally, the improvement in VO2AT after 5G intervention was significantly superior to that ofconventional intervention (d = 0.22, P = 0.035). Both groups exhibited a significant decrease inGAD-7 scores post-intervention (control group: A = -2.69, P < 0.001; 5G group: A = - 2.99,P K 0.001), with the 5G group showing a greater degree of GAD-7 improvement. For PSQl, the controlgroup showed no significant change post-intervention (A = - 0.96, P = 0.176), while the 5G groupexhibited a significant reduction in PSQl scores (A = - 3.58, P < 0.001). The 5G group also revealedassociations between age, urban resident basic medical insurance, and cardiac function classificationwith the incidence of adverse events (P < 0.01). Negative binomial regression analysis indicated thatyounger patients and those with better cardiac function had a lower risk of adverse events, and thisprotective effect was more pronounced in the 5G intervention group. Low body weight significantlyincreased the risk of adverse events, and male sex in the 5G intervention group, male gender and smoking were significantly associated with the occurrence of adverse events (P < 0.05).

Ginsenoside Rc, an active compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antitumor properties, has protective effects against chemotherapy-induced mucositis caused by 5-Fu. This study aims to evaluate the protective effects of Rc on 5-Fu-induced chemotherapy-related mucositis and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. In vivo experiments were conducted to measure intestinal permeability and assess the effects of Rc on body weight loss, diarrhea, and intestinal pathology induced by 5-Fu. Network pharmacology was also employed to explore potential mechanisms. In vitro, IEC-6 cell models were used to validate the cytoprotective effects of Rc, including assessments of cell viability, apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and changes in inflammatory cytokine levels. The results indicate that Rc significantly ameliorated body weight reduction, diarrhea, and intestinal damage in mice treated by 5-Fu. Rc significantly mitigated 5-Fu-induced cellular damage by reducing levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α and decreasing apoptosis and cell permeability. Western blot analysis revealed that Rc upregulated the expression of Bcl-2 and tight junction proteins and downregulated the expression of Bax. Furthermore, Rc exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects through PI3K-AKT and NF-κB signaling pathways. In conclusion, ginsenoside Rc demonstrated significant protective effects against 5-Fu-induced intestinal mucositis via the PI3K-AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for chemotherapy-related mucositis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms252313085","authors":["Liyue Xu","Xiaolan Zhao","Fei Tang","Jingnan Zhang","Cheng Peng","Hui Ao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-05T08:33:51Z","doi":"10.3390/ijms252313085","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/atcm","name":"Annals of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/atcm","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-07-18T22:36:48Z","doi":"10.1142/atcm","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2023-0-51937-8","name":"From DNA to Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2023-0-51937-8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-26T00:58:44Z","doi":"10.1016/c2023-0-51937-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21037/lcm.2018.05.02","name":"Implication of hormetic effect in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21037/lcm.2018.05.02","authors":["Chengwei He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-05-24T02:03:29Z","doi":"10.21037/lcm.2018.05.02","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5428/pcar20170314","name":"Determination of total flavonoids content of Jinxianlian from different sources and its in vitro antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5428/pcar20170314","authors":["YanBin WU","Chao ZHANG","XiuCai ZHANG","JianGuo WU","Jun YI","JiuZhong WU","ChengJian ZHENG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-10-26T08:50:27Z","doi":"10.5428/pcar20170314","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s41065-026-00646-1","name":"Ginsenoside Rg1 delays the senescence of adipose-derived stem cells: network pharmacology and experimental validation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) senescence limits their therapeutic potential. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), though easily accessible, are prone to senescence under oxidative or inflammatory stress. Ginsenoside Rg1, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may counteract this process. This study investigates whether Rg1 can alleviate ADSC senescence and its underlying mechanisms. Methods To explore the molecular mechanisms by which Ginsenoside Rg1 mitigates ADSC senescence, network pharmacology and molecular docking were applied to identify potential signaling pathways and targets. Cell viability was measured using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to select the optimal modeling concentration. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle distribution and immune-related marker expression in ADSCs. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) quantified stemness- and senescence-related gene expression. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining assessed senescence-associated protein levels. Western blotting (WB) was performed to examine key proteins in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Results Network pharmacology identified 22 aging-associated genes targeted by Rg1, with AKT1 emerging as a central hub protein exhibiting high binding affinity. In hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced senescence model, Rg1 treatment significantly enhanced cell viability and stemness, while reducing senescence markers p16 and p21. Furthermore, Rg1 attenuated DNA damage, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and restored telomere length. It also promoted cell cycle progression and upregulated immune checkpoint proteins CD59 and CD73. Mechanistic analysis revealed that these anti-senescent effects are mediated via activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion Rg1 effectively attenuates ADSC senescence by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, promoting cell cycle progression and enhancing immune evasion capacity. This reveals a novel anti-aging mechanism and offers new insights for MSC-based regenerative therapies, while also providing modern evidence supporting the traditional Jing-Qi theory.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s41065-026-00646-1","authors":["Yuan Fang","Chenghong Mou","Xinlang Yu","Jiakang Zhang","Weina Zhu","Chungen Zhou","Bin Jiang","Yanni Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-27T14:17:20Z","doi":"10.1186/s41065-026-00646-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2019.09.003","name":"The scientific nature of traditional Chinese medicine in the post-modern era","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2019.09.003","authors":["Yongyan Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-09-13T01:59:53Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2019.09.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/b-002-66277","name":"Chinese Nutrition Therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/b-002-66277","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-06-17T14:11:29Z","doi":"10.1055/b-002-66277","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/pharmaceutics17030302","name":"Influence of Different Cationic Polymer-Based Micelles on the Corneal Behavior and Anti-Cataract Effect of Diosmetin","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background Despite many studies on polymer-incorporated nanocarriers for ophthalmic drug delivery, few have thoroughly explored the relationship between coating composition and performance. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three commonly used cationic polymers—distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine-polyethylene glycol 1000-poly(amidoamine) (DSPE-PEG1000-PAMAM), trimethyl chitosan (TMC), and (2,3-dioleoyloxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP)—on the corneal behaviors and anti-cataract efficacy of diosmetin (DIO)-loaded micelles (D-M-P, D-M-T, and D-M-D, respectively). Methods The DIO-loaded micelles were prepared using the thin-film dispersion method and incorporated with the three polymers through hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic adsorption. Structural characterization was demonstrated by TEM imaging and particle size analyzer. In vitro release behavior was detected by the dialysis method. Cell viability of D-M-P, D-M-T, and D-M-D on L929 cells was detected by CCK-8 assays, with cellular uptake performed using coumarin 6 as the fluorescence indicator. Precorneal retention behaviors of these three vesicles were observed by In Vivo Imaging System. Transcorneal permeability was determined by modified Franz diffusion method and the permeation routes of the vesicles are investigated. Selenite-induced cataract model was established. The anti-cataract effects of three different DIO-loaded micelles were evaluated by the observation of lens opacity and antioxidant enzyme activities. Eye Irritation of the DIO in different preparations was estimated using the Draize test, along with H&E staining of the corneas. Results Structural characterization of DIO-loaded micelles revealed that the vesicles were spherical, with a uniform size distribution of around 28 nm, a similar surface potential of approximately 6.0 mV, and a high DIO entrapment efficiency of about 95%. Compared to the DIO suspension, all three formulations exhibited a significant sustained-release effect. They showed no signs of irritation and demonstrated increased IC50 values in L929 cells, indicating improved biocompatibility. Cellular uptake in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) was assessed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. C-M-T displayed the highest fluorescence signals, with a cellular internalization 3.2 times greater than that of the solution group. Both C-M-T and C-M-P enhanced vesicle retention on the corneal surface by at least 47.8% compared to the Cou-6 solution. Furthermore, TMC facilitated the paracellular transport of vesicles into the deepest layers of the cornea and delivered DIO across the cornea, with a Papp value 3.11 times and 1.49 times those of D-M-D and D-M-P, respectively. In terms of therapeutic efficacy, D-M-T demonstrated the most significant attenuation of lens opacity, along with enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Conclusion The modification of micelle vesicles with different cationic polymers significantly influences their performance in ocular drug delivery. Among the tested formulations, D-M-T stands out due to its multiple advantages, including enhanced transcorneal drug delivery, therapeutic efficacy for DIO, and safety, making it the most promising candidate for ophthalmic applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics17030302","authors":["Jing Zhang","Min Zha","Anping Wan","Satya Siva Kishan Yalamarty","Nina Filipczak","Xiang Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-25T10:55:48Z","doi":"10.3390/pharmaceutics17030302","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3109/9781841848433-11","name":"Chinese herbal medicine and formulations","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3109/9781841848433-11","authors":["B Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-09T20:23:09Z","doi":"10.3109/9781841848433-11","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2026.080114","name":"Computer-Aided Screening of anti-TNF Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2026.080114","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-19T09:10:31Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2026.080114","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2021/2251679","name":"Tibetan Medicine Qishiwei Zhenzhu Pills Can Reduce Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Regulating Gut Microbiota and Inhibiting Inflammation","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cerebral ischemia is a series of harmful reactions, such as acute necrosis of tissue, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and blood-brain barrier injury, due to the insufficient blood supply to the brain. Inflammatory response and gut microbiota imbalance are important concomitant factors of cerebral ischemia and may increase the severity of cerebral ischemia through the gut-brain axis. Qishiwei Zhenzhu pills (QSW) contain more than 70 kinds of medicinal materials, which have the effects of anti-cerebral infarction, anti-convulsion, anti-dementia, and so on. It is a treasure of Tibetan medicine commonly used in the treatment of cerebral ischemia in Tibetan areas. In this study, we gave rats QSW (66.68 mg/kg) once by gavage in advance and then immediately established the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. After 24 hours of treatment, the neuroprotection, intestinal pathology, and gut microbiota were examined. The results showed that QSW could significantly reduce the neurobehavioral abnormalities and cerebral infarction rate in MCAO rats. Furthermore, qPCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry results showed that QSW could effectively inhibit IL-6, IL-1β, and other inflammatory factors so as to effectively reduce the inflammatory response of MCAO rats. Furthermore, QSW could improve intestinal integrity and reduce intestinal injury. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that QSW could significantly improve the gut microbiota disorder of MCAO rats. Specifically, at the phylum level, it can regulate the abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria in the gut microbiota of rats with MCAO. At the genus level, it can adjust the abundance of Escherichia and Shigella. At the species level, it can adjust the abundance of Lactobacillus johnsonii and Lactobacillus reuteri. All in all, this study is the first to show that QSW can reduce the severity of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating gut microbiota and inhibiting the inflammatory response.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/2251679","authors":["Ke Fu","Dewei Zhang","Yinglian Song","Min Xu","Ruixia Wu","Xueqing Xiong","Xianwu Liu","Lei Wu","Ya Guo","You Zhou","Xiaoli Li","Zhang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-11-11T20:50:07Z","doi":"10.1155/2021/2251679","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-026-01323-1","name":"Adapting the ADAPTE framework for Traditional Chinese Medicine clinical practice guidelines: a methodological study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Clinical practice guideline adaptation is critical for standardizing care, yet existing frameworks like the ADAPTE process lack specificity for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), whose principles diverge fundamentally from western medicine. To address this gap, we modified the ADAPTE process to align with the unique characteristics of TCM. A dual-tiered working group (core team and expert panel) simulated tested the original ADAPTE process on Traditional Chinese Medicine clinical practice guidelines (TCM CPGs), identifying challenges such as incompatibility with TCM diagnostic frameworks and holistic treatment paradigms and formed the initial version of ADAPTE-TCM. 21 experts were invited to evaluate the initial version of ADAPTE-TCM and reached a high consensus, while also providing suggestions for modifications to the initial version. Ultimately, 20 steps were modified (e.g., evidence synthesis, consensus-building) and integration of TCM CPGs specific evaluation criteria and tool. The resulting ADAPTE-TCM framework provides methodological rigor for adapting TCM CPGs. This adaptation not only bridges a critical gap in TCM CPGs adaptation but also exemplifies how evidence-based methodologies can evolve to respect diverse medical traditions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01323-1","authors":["Xiuli Xie","Yangyang Wang","Heba Hussein","Hui Li","Yasser Sami Amer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-20T09:34:09Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01323-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/1108569","name":"Cayratia japonica Prevents Ulcerative Colitis by Promoting M2 Macrophage Polarization through Blocking the TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB Pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background and Aims. Several components of Cayratia japonica (CJ) such as rutin and quercetin have shown anti-inflammatory effect, yet its function in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains to be clarified. This study focuses on the modulatory effect of CJ on UC as well as molecular mechanism by which CJ regulates macrophage polarization in UC. Methods. The targets related to CJ components and UC were, respectively, obtained through in silico analysis, and their intersection targets were selected for pathway enrichment analysis. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce M1 macrophages. Expression of the macrophage polarization M1 marker CD11b and M2 marker CD206 was measured to determine the phenotype of macrophages. The mouse model was treated with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce UC to observe the effects of CJ on UC in vivo. Results. The in silico analysis suggested the crucial significance of TLR4 and its downstream MAPK/NF-κB pathways in the modulatory effect of CJ on UC. Furthermore, experimental data revealed that CJ could promote M2 macrophage polarization but alleviate immune inflammation and reduce colon damage in DSS-evoked UC model. Additionally, CJ can inhibit the expression of TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway to enhance the M2-like polarization. Conclusion. Hence, CJ may exert anti-inflammatory effects and an inhibitory role in UC by inhibiting the TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB pathway and subsequent M1-like macrophage polarization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/1108569","authors":["Jun Sun","Ping Zhao","Xufeng Ding","Fang Li","Jie Jiang","Hua Huang","Lijiang Ji"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-12-30T15:05:05Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/1108569","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2019/5904264","name":"Retrospective Analysis of the Correlation between Uric Acid and Thyroid Hormone in People with Normal Thyroid Function","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective .

Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is an important derivative of artemisinin (ART) and has been previously reported to alleviate inflammation and autoimmune diseases. But the effect of DHA on chronic prostatitis (CP) is still unclear. This study aims to clarify the efficacy and mechanism of DHA in the treatment of CBP and its effect on the accumulation of BMMSCs. The experimental CBP was produced in C57BL/6 male mice via intraurethrally administered E. coli solution. Results showed that DHA treatment concentration-dependently promoted the accumulation of BMMSCs in prostate tissue of CBP mice. In addition, DHA and BMMSCs cotreatment significantly alleviated inflammation and improved prostate damage by decreasing the expression of proinflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and chemokines CXCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 in prostate tissue of CBP mice. Moreover, DHA and BMMSCs cotreatment displayed antioxidation property by increasing the production of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), SOD, and decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) expression. Mechanically, DHA and BMMSCs cotreatment significantly inhibited the expression of TGFβ-RI, TGFβ-RII, phosphor (p)-Smad2/3, and Smad4 in a dose-dependent manner while stimulated Smad7 expression in the same manner. In conclusion, our findings provided evidence that DHA effectively eliminated inflammatory and oxidative stress against prostate injury, and this effect involved the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in CBP.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/1829736","authors":["Shen Li","Yongzhang Li","Xiaozhe Su","Aiyun Han","Yang Cui","Shuyue Lv","Jin Zhang","Chao Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-15T18:20:08Z","doi":"10.1155/2021/1829736","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2023.050419","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Pediatric Diarrhea","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2023.050419","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-06-01T03:14:15Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2023.050419","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60067-9","name":"Distribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns in 324 cases with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure: a prospective, cross-sectional survey","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60067-9","authors":["Xiaoyu Hu","Yang Zhang","Guo Chen","Yibei Li","Sen Zhong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-14T14:32:16Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60067-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30074-1","name":"Comparsion analysis of data mining models applied to clinical research in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30074-1","authors":["Yufeng Zhao","Qi Xie","Liyun He","Baoyan Liu","Kun Li","Xiang Zhang","Wenjing Bai","Lin Luo","Xianghong Jing","Ruili Huo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-05-12T13:16:10Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30074-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30055-3","name":"Comment on the intervention of Traditional Chinese Medicine on survival rates of patients living with human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30055-3","authors":["Li Qiang","Liu Zhibin","Yang Jiping","Guo Huijun","Xu Liran"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-10T22:40:18Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30055-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/3240573","name":"Interaction between the Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Motility","source":"crossref","abstract":"The gut microbiota is the largest symbiotic ecosystem with the host and has been proven to play an important role in maintaining the stability of the intestinal environment.

A systematic and comprehensive literature search of interrelated randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 30, 2021. Two investigators independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to describe the effect sizes using a fixed-effect model. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 14.0 and RevMan 5.3. Results. Five RCTs involving 290 participants with DKD were included. Curcumin supplementation significantly improved the serum creatinine (WMD: −0.16 mg/dL, 95% CI: −0.3 to −0.02, P = 0.029, I2 = 0%, moderate certainty), total cholesterol (WMD: −10.13 mg/dL, 95% CI: −17.84 to −2.14, P = 0.01, I2 = 0%, moderate certainty), systolic blood pressure (WMD: 3.94 mmHg, 95% CI: 1.86 to 6.01, P < 0.01, I2 = 33.5%, moderate certainty), and fasting blood glucose (WMD: −8.29 mg/dL, 95% CI: −15.19 to −1.39, P = 0.019, I2 = 43.7%, moderate certainty) levels; however, it had no significant effects on blood urea nitrogen, proteinuria, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure levels. Conclusions. Curcumin may provide great potential effects against DKD.

Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, viral infections, dietary components, drugs, and other chemical reagents. It is reported that oxidative stress might be one of the main reasons in the progressive development of alcohol liver diseases (ALDs), nonalcoholic liver diseases (NAFLDs), liver injury, fibrosis, hepatic failure (HF), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this paper, we comprehensively summarized the pharmacological effects and potential molecular mechanisms of polydatin for protecting and treating liver disorders via regulation of oxidative stress. According to the previous studies, polydatin is a versatile natural compound and exerts significantly protective and curative effects on oxidative stress‐associated liver diseases via various molecular mechanisms, including amelioration of liver function and insulin resistance, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, lipid accumulation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy, regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), as well as increase of antioxidant enzymes (such as catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1)). In addition, polydatin acts as a free radical scavenger against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by its phenolic and ethylenic bond structure. However, further clinical investigations are still needed to explore the comprehensive molecular mechanisms and confirm the clinical treatment effect of polydatin in liver diseases related to regulation of oxidative stress.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/9218738","authors":["Dandan Tang","Qing Zhang","Huxinyue Duan","Xun Ye","Jia Liu","Wei Peng","Chunjie Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-02-10T19:05:31Z","doi":"10.1155/2022/9218738","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000129","name":"Safety evaluation of traditional Chinese medicines containing heavy metals and harmful elements","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000129","authors":["Shaoping Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-01T17:00:07Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000129","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60024-2","name":"TCM Treatment for Two Cases of Chronic and Intractable Eczema","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60024-2","authors":["He Kuanqi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-06-19T08:43:01Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60024-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/ocwb4974","name":"Treatment of Equine Shen Disturbance with Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Horses with behavioral abnormalities may injure themselves or their handlers, display aggression towards humans and other horses and disrupt the human-horse relationship. These behaviors are precipitated by stressful events, such as frightening experiences, changes in herd dynamics or training, traveling and showing experienced frequently by equine athletes. Diagnosis and treatment of equine behavior is challenging with conventional medicine. Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) offers a unique treatment perspective for unwanted equine behavior. In TCVM, equine behavioral abnormalities are commonly due to Shen Disturbance, which may be caused by six underlying TCVM pattern diagnoses: Liver Qi Stagnation, Phlegm Fire Flaring Upward, Phlegm Misting the Mind, Heart Yin Deficiency with False Heat, Heart Yin/ Blood Deficiency and Heart Qi Deficiency. Each pattern has distinguishing features on the TCVM exam which aides in accurate pattern diagnosis which is critical for effective treatment selection of acupuncture points and Chinese herbal medicine. The use of TCVM treatment utilizing acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be an effective approach either as a sole treatment for mild behavior cases or as part of a comprehensive program to resolve unwanted equine behavior and safeguard the wellbeing of horses and their handlers.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/ocwb4974","authors":["Emily Mangan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-10T14:49:29Z","doi":"10.59565/ocwb4974","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2022.2.0104","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy: A protocol for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Review question / Objective: In order to verify effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy.

Case presentation An 84-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with chronic dacryocystitis of the right eye due to tearing and purulent discharge from the right eye for more than 1 month. Antibiotic treatments such as gatifloxacin eye drops were given at other hospitals but did not relieve the symptoms. A computed tomography(CT) scan of the lacrimal duct in our department showed a high-density shadow in the right lacrimal sac area, hypertrophy of the right inferior turbinate, and many nasal calculi in the nasal cavity. The patient was transferred to our otolaryngology department for further treatment, and nasal stones were removed under nasal endoscopy. Three days after surgery, the symptoms affecting the patient's right eye gradually resolved. One month after surgery, the patient underwent a follow-up examination in the ophthalmology clinic; there was no lacrimal purulent discharge from the right eye, and the lacrimal duct could be flushed smoothly. Conclusion Chronic dacryocystitis is often caused by primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Cases of chronic dacryocystitis caused by secondary nasolacrimal duct obstruction due to nasal stones are rare in the clinic. This case can serve as a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic dacryocystitis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-023-03185-9","authors":["Yandi Huo","Luoxiang Li","Ya Mo","Sirui Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-06T00:03:14Z","doi":"10.1186/s12886-023-03185-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.007","name":"Traditional medicine in India","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.007","authors":["Yu Shi","Chao Zhang","Xiaodong Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-24T22:41:39Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2020.06.007","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2021.10.0025","name":"The effects of traditional Chinese manual therapy (Tuina) for chronic fatigue syndrome: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2021.10.0025","authors":["Jun Ren","Tianxiang He","Xin Zhou","Zhiwei Wu","Lingjun Kong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-08T02:06:04Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2021.10.0025","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60030-1","name":"LU Zheng's Experience in the Treatment of Atrophic Gastritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60030-1","authors":["Ming-xian CHEN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-07-14T09:01:38Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(10)60030-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/bf02934842","name":"Selected terms in traditional Chinese medicine and their interpretations (I)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02934842","authors":["Zhu-fan Xie"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-17T16:45:10Z","doi":"10.1007/bf02934842","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00002-9","name":"Integrative Mining of Traditional Chinese Medicine Literature and MEDLINE for Functional Gene Networks","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00002-9","authors":["Zhaohui Wu","Huajun Chen","Xiaohong Jiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-07-07T05:00:36Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-12-398510-1.00002-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10142-025-01771-2","name":"Gastrodin extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans via the DAF-16/FOXO signaling pathway and autophagy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10142-025-01771-2","authors":["Bo Li","Shan Li","Haoling Chen","Dan Wu","Xingwang Cao","Mingyue Yao","Shiying Xiong","Wei Meng","Li Dong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-18T01:38:40Z","doi":"10.1007/s10142-025-01771-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/biomedicines13092132","name":"Identification of Key Biomarkers Related to Lipid Metabolism in Acute Pancreatitis and Their Regulatory Mechanisms Based on Bioinformatics and Machine Learning","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes due to various causes, leading to local pancreatic inflammation. This can trigger systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multi-organ dysfunction. Hyperlipidemia, mainly resulting from lipid metabolism disorders and elevated triglyceride levels, is a major etiological factor in AP. This study aims to investigate the role of lipid metabolism-related genes in the pathogenesis of AP and to propose novel strategies for its prevention and treatment. Methods: We obtained AP-related datasets GSE3644, GSE65146, and GSE121038 from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using DEG analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). To identify core lipid metabolism genes in AP, we performed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) analysis. Gene and protein interactions were predicted using GeneMANIA and AlphaFold. Finally, biomarker expression levels were quantified using Real-Time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) in an AP mouse model. Results: Seven lipid metabolism-related genes were identified as key biomarkers in AP: Amacr, Cyp39a1, Echs1, Gpd2, Osbpl9, Acsl4, and Mcee. The biological roles of these genes mainly involve fatty acid metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, lipid transport across cellular membranes, and mitochondrial function. Conclusions: Amacr, Cyp39a1, Echs1, Gpd2, Osbpl9, Acsl4, and Mcee are characteristic biomarkers of lipid metabolism abnormalities in AP. These findings are crucial for a deeper understanding of lipid metabolism pathways in AP and for the early implementation of preventive clinical measures, such as the control of blood lipid levels.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines13092132","authors":["Liang Zhang","Yujie Jiang","Taojun Jin","Mingxian Zheng","Yixuan Yap","Xuanyang Min","Jiayue Chen","Lin Yuan","Feng He","Bingduo Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-01T13:27:44Z","doi":"10.3390/biomedicines13092132","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-642-39824-7_3","name":"Treatment Methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Toxoplasmosis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39824-7_3","authors":["Fangli Lü"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-09-30T08:15:45Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-642-39824-7_3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000102","name":"Opportunities and challenges of traditional Chinese medicine in the era of digitalization and intelligence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000102","authors":["Luqi Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-10T13:00:30Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000102","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789812774019_0011","name":"Intestinal Metabolism of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Pharmacological and Toxicological Significance","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789812774019_0011","authors":["Guozhu Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-03-04T03:15:31Z","doi":"10.1142/9789812774019_0011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/bf02935030","name":"Selected Terms in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Their Interpretation (XV)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02935030","authors":["Zhu-fan Xie"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-17T17:43:34Z","doi":"10.1007/bf02935030","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60042-x","name":"Joint Reinforcing-Reducing Effect of Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Cupping Therapies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60042-x","authors":["Lan ZHONG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-06-11T05:03:14Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(09)60042-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules28196816","name":"A Systematic Review on the Research Progress on Polysaccharides from Fungal Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a class of natural drugs with multiple components and significant therapeutic effects through multiple targets.

Gastric cancer (GC), an extremely aggressive tumor with a very different prognosis, is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. We aimed to construct a ferroptosis-related prognostic model that can be distinguished prognostically. Methods. The gene expression and the clinical data of GC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO). The ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from the FerrDb. Using the “limma” R package and univariate Cox analysis, ferroptosis-related genes with differential expression and prognostic value were identified in the TCGA cohort. Last absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was applied to shrink ferroptosis-related predictors and construct a prognostic model. Functional enrichment, ESTIMATE algorithm, and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were applied for exploring the potential mechanism. GC patients from the GEO cohort were used for validation. Results. An 8-gene prognostic model was constructed and stratified GC patients from TCGA and meta-GEO cohort into high-risk groups or low-risk groups. GC patients in high-risk groups have significantly poorer OS compared with those in low-risk groups. The risk score was identified as an independent predictor for OS. Functional analysis revealed that the risk score was mainly associated with the biological function of extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and tumor immunity. Conclusion. In conclusion, the ferroptosis-related model can be utilized for the clinical prognostic prediction in GC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6635526","authors":["Xiaotao Jiang","Qiaofeng Yan","Linling Xie","Shijie Xu","Kailin Jiang","Jiahua Huang","Yi Wen","Yanhua Yan","Junhui Zheng","Shuting Tang","Kechao Nie","Zhihua Zheng","Jinglin Pan","Peng Liu","Yuancheng Huang","Xingrui Yan","Yushan Zou","Xuan Chen","Fengbin Liu","Peiwu Li","Kunhai Zhuang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-02-28T23:05:08Z","doi":"10.1155/2021/6635526","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60054-0","name":"On the Assessment Standardization for TCM Clinical Evidence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60054-0","authors":["Wang Yingying","Yang Jinsheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-09-26T08:51:29Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60054-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60030-8","name":"Qiu Baoguo's Experience in Treating Consumptive Syndromes after Radio-Chemotherapies","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60030-8","authors":["Han Weifeng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-06-19T08:43:01Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60030-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/2311-8571.285416","name":"Erratum: Academician Kai-Xian Chen talks about the development of traditional Chinese medicine and global medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/2311-8571.285416","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-30T02:52:30Z","doi":"10.4103/2311-8571.285416","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60017-5","name":"A Survey of Treatment of Acne by Acupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60017-5","authors":["Nie Youzhi","Wang Chunyong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-05-22T12:53:21Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60017-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30146-1","name":"Health related quality of life: is it another comprehensive evaluation indicator of Chinese medicine on acquired immune deficiency syndrome treatment?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30146-1","authors":["Liu Zhibin","Yang Jiping"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-10-19T01:22:40Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30146-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms26010397","name":"Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Phylogenetic Relationships in Medicinally Important Pantropical Genus Bauhinia s.s.

This study sequenced Bauhinia purpurea, Bauhinia brachycarpa var. microphylla, Bauhinia variegata var. candida, Bauhinia galpinii, and Bauhinia monandra using the Illumina platform and conducted the construction of phylogenetic trees as well as the estimation of divergence times. Compared to Asian species, the IR regions of African species underwent a contraction of approximately 100–400 bp. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Asian and African species clustered into two distinct clades, with high support. The divergence of Bauhinia s.s. species occurred in the late Paleocene, and the rps18 and cemA genes were under positive selection. Six hypervariable regions were screened for evolutionary studies and the super-barcode data were used for species delimitation. The results revealed certain differences between African and Asian species in their chloroplast genomes of Bauhinia species.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms26010397","authors":["Yanxiang Lin","Yuan Chen","Yanlin Zhao","Wei Wu","Chengzi Yang","Yanfang Zheng","Mingqing Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-06T08:08:52Z","doi":"10.3390/ijms26010397","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60102-8","name":"Effect of Chinese herbs on immunoglobulin A nephropathy: a randomized controlled trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60102-8","authors":["Minggang Wei","Peihua Xiong","Ling Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-17T06:15:31Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60102-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10585-026-10418-w","name":"Luteolin inhibits hyperglycemia-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition and malignant progression in gastric cancer via targeting AKR1B1-mediated glucose metabolism","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10585-026-10418-w","authors":["Qin He","Feibao Tao","Xiaowen Wen","Liang Zhu","Xuxing Ye"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-14T09:09:55Z","doi":"10.1007/s10585-026-10418-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s2225-4110(16)30050-5","name":"Why and How to Globalize Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s2225-4110(16)30050-5","authors":["Yung-Chi Cheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-07-17T18:40:11Z","doi":"10.1016/s2225-4110(16)30050-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/9781849737852-00061","name":"Chapter 5.

Fluoxetine (FLU) is the first-line and widely used medication for depression. The combination of Chaihu Shugan san (CSGS) and FLU is commonly used to enhance antidepressant effects and reduce side effects. Objective . The primary objective of this study was to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic effect of CSGS on FLU. Materials and Methods . Thirty-two healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups, the fluoxetine group and multiple dose groups A, B, and C. The rats in the different groups were orally administered with a combination of FLU and different doses of CSGS for 14 d. On the fifteenth day, serial blood samples were taken from the caudal vein before the administration and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after the administration. A liquid-liquid extraction method was applied to extract the analytes from serum. Then, the concentrations of FLU and its metabolite, norfluoxetine (NOF), were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 3.2.8 program and compared by statistic analysis. Results . Compared with the FLU group, the FLU and NOF area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) (0–∞) in multiple dose group C was significantly increased, while the NOF AUCs (0–∞) in multiple dose group A and multiple dose group B were decreased. Compared with the FLU group, the NOF clearance (CL) in multiple dose group C was decreased, while the CL in multiple dose groups A and B was increased. Discussion and Conclusion .

Recent studies have shown that blood amyloid beta‐protein 1‐42 (A β 1‐42) level is closely related to poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), which may be the influencing factor and even a predictor of PSCI. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the evidence for the association of cognitive impairment among PSCI. Methods. PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Cochrane Library, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial (CENTRAL), CNKI, and WanFang data were searched. Case‐control, cohort, and cross‐sectional studies that evaluated the association between blood A β 1‐42 and PSCI were included irrespective of language and date of publication. The outcomes of this review consisted of (1) any dementia, (2) any cognitive impairment, and (3) any cognitive impairment no dementia, which were assessed at least 3 months (90 days) after stroke. Exposure of interest was blood A β 1‐42 level (including serum and plasma). Results. Of 617 records retrieved, 8 studies (6 case‐control and 2 cohort studies) involving 931 stroke patients were included for further analysis. 8 studies with 931 subjects explored the correlation between A β 1‐42 and PSCI. PSCI was reported in 457 patients, and the pooled SMD of amyloid beta‐protein 1‐42 was ‐0.96 (95% CI ‐1.10~‐0.82, I 2 = 15 % , P < 0.01). The results remained robust in sensitivity analysis adjusting for study quality, sample source, and cognitive scale score in analysis of studies, as well as in analysis adjusted for publication bias. Conclusions. Blood A β 1‐42 level was significantly negatively related to the risk for PSCI, and more prospective studies with large sample size are needed to define a precise threshold value of blood A β 1‐42 level to predict PSCI in the future.

CJP has shown good clinical effects on improving anxiety disorders. However, as the mechanism underlying such benefits remains unclear, the aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action for CJP on anxiety‐related behaviors in a rat model of anxiety disorder. After establishing a rat model of anxiety disorder using uncertain empty bottle stimulation, rats were divided into control, model, citalopram, low‐dose CJP, and high‐dose CJP groups. After 1 month of administration, effects of treatments on rat appearance, body weight, and open‐field test scores were observed. In addition, hippocampal monoamine neurotransmitter (5‐hydroxytryptamine, dopamine, and norepinephrine) contents were measured with an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and mRNA expression of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) were measured with reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction. CJP increased rat weight, and this effect was increased in the high‐dose CJP group compared with the citalopram group ( P < 0.05). CJP also elevated open‐field test scores compared with the citalopram group ( P < 0.05). While CJP decreased monoamine neurotransmitter contents in rat hippocampus, the regulatory effect of CJP on 5‐hydroxytryptamine was reduced compared with citalopram ( P < 0.01). CJP upregulated GR mRNA expression in both low‐dose ( P < 0.05) and high‐dose ( P < 0.01) CJP groups, but only the latter significantly downregulated MR mRNA expression and showed enhanced effects compared with citalopram ( P < 0.05). Thus, CJP likely exerted its significant antianxiety effect by diminishing monoamine neurotransmitters and regulating mRNA expression of MR and GR in the hippocampus of our rat model of anxiety disorder.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/5489215","authors":["Guang-kui Feng","Xian-jun Ma","Yin-yi Chen","Guang-rong Bian","Chao Yang","Bao-dong Gu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-05-31T23:37:49Z","doi":"10.1155/2018/5489215","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60030-8","name":"Pharmacological effects of Chinese herb aconite (Fuzi) on cardiovascular system","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60030-8","authors":["Dandan Zhao","Jie Wang","Yanjing Cui","Xinfang Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2013-05-13T19:45:12Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(13)60030-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2019/1725936","name":"Stimulation Parameters of Manual Acupuncture and Their Measurement","source":"crossref","abstract":"The therapeutic effect of manual acupuncture (MA) is closely related to the stimulation amount.

Traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TCAM) has attracted increasing attention in developed countries, but its mainstream status in China, the home of TCAM, is unclear. Over the period of 2004–2016, we analyze the health resources and health resource utilization of traditional medicine in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals in China. Methods . Over 2004–2016, we obtained data from all TCM hospitals in all Chinese provinces to create a hospital‐based, longitudinal dataset. TCM health resources and their utilization were measured by two outcome variables: (1) primary outcome variables comprising the proportion of TCM physicians, TCM pharmacists, revenue from TCM drugs, and TCM prescriptions and (2) the secondary outcome variables, as proxies of westernization for TCM hospitals, comprising the number of medical equipment above RMB 10,000 and the proportion of surgery in inpatient visits. We used linear regression models with hospital‐fixed effects to analyze time trends for the outcome variables. Results . The number of public TCM hospitals remained stable from 2004 to 2016, while the number of private TCM hospitals increased from 294 in 2004 to 1560 in 2016. There was a small percentage increase in the proportion of TCM physicians (0.280%), TCM pharmacists (0.298%), and revenue from Chinese medicines (0.331%) and TCM prescriptions (1.613%) per hospital per year. Chinese drugs accounted for less than a half of the total drug prescriptions, and accordingly, just one‐third of the drug revenue was from Chinese medicines at TCM hospitals. The proportions of physicians, pharmacists, revenue from Chinese drug sales, and traditional medicine prescriptions never reach the 60% benchmark target for mainstream in TCM hospitals. As proxies for Western medicine practices in TCM hospitals, the number of medical equipment above RMB 10,000 rapidly rose by over 13 percent per hospital per year, but the proportion of inpatient surgeries declined by 0.830 percentage points per hospital per year, reflecting a mixed trend in the use of Western medicine practices. Conclusion . For the 2004–2016 period, traditional medicine, although making progress towards the mainstream benchmark of 60% TCM services, was still not mainstream at TCM hospitals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/9313491","authors":["Xuefeng Shi","Dawei Zhu","Stephen Nicholas","Baolin Hong","Xiaowei Man","Ping He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-05-31T23:31:39Z","doi":"10.1155/2020/9313491","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.52768/2766-7820/1156","name":"Efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine longdanxiegan decoction combined with val-acyclovir in herpes zoster: A systematic review and mate-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Herpes zoster is a global public problem that is characterised by a painful blistering rash and unilateral lesions and has a significant negative impact on the quality of patients’ lives. Longdanxiegan Decoction (LDXGD) is a classic herbal formula, and LDXGD combined with valacyclovir is widely used for herpes zoster patients in China. However, evidence-based medicine is not available. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of LDXGD combined with valacyclovir in the treatment of herpes zoster, which will provide theoretical support for the treatment of herpes zoster. Objective: This systematic review aimed to explore the effectiveness of LDXGD combined with val-acyclovir for herpes zoster and to compare LDXGD combined with val-acyclovir and val-acyclovir alone. Methods: PubMed, Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wan-fang Database were searched up to 6 April 2021. Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) were identified for herpes zoster treatment involving LDXGD combined with val-acyclovir. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Cochrane assessment tool to reduce the risk of bias. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results: Five studies involving 414 participants were identified in this systematic review. Studies were of low to moderate methodological quality based on the risk of bias assessment. The results of our meta-analysis showed the relative benefits of LDXGD combined with valacyclovir in effective rates compared with valacyclovir alone (four studies; P=0.97, I2=0%, OR=4.48, 95%CI [1.89,10.67]), pain intensity (visual analogue scale) (MD: -1.40 mm; 95% CI [-1.89 to -0.92]), The incidence of PHN (RR 0.24; 95% CI [0.10, 0.55]; I2 =0%) and time to crust formation (MD= -1.66 days; 95% CI [2.01,1.30]). The safety of LDXGD combined with valacyclovir remains unclear. Conclusion: Our systematic evaluation provides evidence for the clinical effectiveness and safety of LDXGD combined with valacyclovir for the treatment of herpes zoster.

METHODS: Optical coherence tomography angiology (OCTA) parameters, including optic disc vessel density (VD; including whole-disc VD, intra-disc VD, and peripapillary VD), superficial/deep capillary plexus (SCP/DCP) VD, and central macular thickness (CMT) were analyzed. Additional assessments included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) via Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and hemorheological profiling. CRVO patients received monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections for three consecutive months. Pre- and post-treatment parameters were statistically compared. RESULTS: The study comprised 60 CRVO-ME patients (28 males; 32 females), aged 50–78y (mean 63.3±7.6y) and 60 age-/sex-matched healthy controls. As compared with participants exhibiting normal funduscopic findings, CRVO patients demonstrated significantly elevated levels of low-shear-rate whole blood viscosity (LSR-WBV), high-shear-rate whole blood viscosity (HSR-WBV), and aggregation index (AI, all P&#x003C;0.05). In CRVO-affected eyes, vertical cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio and optic cup volume were significantly smaller, whereas retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was significantly greater, compared to both unaffected contralateral eyes and normal control eyes (all P&#x003C;0.05). Following treatment, VD of the entire optic disc (P&#x003C;0.05), intra-disc VD (P&#x003C;0.05), and peripapillary VD (P&#x003C;0.05) all increased significantly relative to baseline. CMT decreased significantly (P&#x003C;0.05), whereas macular SCP-VD and macular DCP-VD showed non-significant slight reductions (P&#x003E;0.05). At baseline, BCVA of CRVO eyes correlated with whole-disc VD (r=-0.276, P=0.033), intra-disc VD (r=-0.342, P=0.009), and peripapillary VD (r=-0.335, P=0.007), with intra-disc VD demonstrating the strongest association. Besides, BCVA improvement, after the treatment, correlated positively with whole-disc VD (r=0.342, P=0.008) and intra-disc VD (r=0.396, P=0.002). CONCLUSION: Optic disc blood perfusion is more closely associated with visual acuity than macular perfusion, suggesting intra-disc VD may serve as a potential biomarker for monitoring visual acuity changes in CRVO. Multiple ranibizumab injections significantly improve optic disc perfusion but may have exerted detrimental effects on the macula. CRVO patients shows higher hemorheological parameters than those with normal fundi. Reduced vertical C/D ratio and optic cup volume may be linked to CRVO incidence, potentially acting as susceptibility factors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2026.01.10","authors":["Xuan Li","Li-Ke Xie","Jin-Hua Luo","Meng-Jiao Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-17T01:52:15Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2026.01.10","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12906-019-2779-y","name":"Oral and injectable Marsdenia tenacissima extract (MTE) as adjuvant therapy to chemotherapy for gastric cancer: a systematic review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Marsdenia tenacissima extract (MTE) is a phytochemical widely used as complementary therapy in cancer care.

Results Seventeen RCTs with 1329 individuals were included, with a moderate to high risk of selection and performance bias. Compared to chemotherapy alone, MTE adjuvant therapy significantly improved the response to anticancer treatment (POR 2.01, 95% CI 1.60–2.53) and patients’ performance status (POR 3.15, 95% CI 2.22–4.48) and reduce the incidences of chemotherapy-induced leukopenia (RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.56–0.78), thrombocytopenia (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.48–0.86), anemia (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.72–1.10), nausea/vomiting (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.69–0.91), hepatic injury (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.61–0.96), and peripheral neurotoxicity (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.59–1.01). However, MTE did not significantly alleviate anemia, diarrhea, constipation, kidney injury, and oral mucosal lesions after chemotherapy. Incidence of nausea/vomiting was lower in patients receiving oral MTE than those receiving injectable MTE (RR 0.47 vs. 0.82, interaction P = 0.04). Heterogeneity was generally low among these outcomes. Three out of five RCTs that reported survival data supported the effects of MTE for prolonging progression-free and/or overall survival. No studies reported safety outcomes of MTE. Conclusions The current evidence with limitations of risk of selection and performance bias suggests that MTE, as an adjuvant therapy to chemotherapy, is effective for inhibiting cancer growth and reducing incidences of multiple chemotherapy side effects. Oral MTE may be a better choice. Uncertainty remains regarding the effects of MTE on survival endpoints and the subgroup differences between acute and chronic use of MTE and between different chemotherapy regimens.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-019-2779-y","authors":["Xu Zhou","Meilu Liu","Qing Ren","Weifeng Zhu","Yang Wang","Haochen Chen","Jianrong Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-12-13T09:21:31Z","doi":"10.1186/s12906-019-2779-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60033-9","name":"A quantification model of Traditional Chinese Medicine syndromes in children with idiopathic precocious puberty and early puberty","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60033-9","authors":["Yanyan Lin","Yuanyuan Xue","Jian Yu","Yonghong Wang","Wen Sun","Yanyan Sun","Yumin Shi","Yiqun Zhang","Hong Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-04-26T05:10:52Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(14)60033-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/medcm.2022.040309","name":"Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/medcm.2022.040309","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-11-28T04:29:13Z","doi":"10.23977/medcm.2022.040309","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms232113161","name":"Storax Attenuates Cardiac Fibrosis following Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rats via Suppression of AT1R–Ankrd1–P53 Signaling Pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"Myocardial fibrosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) seriously affects the prognosis and survival rate of patients. This study explores the role and regulation mechanism of storax, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of cardiovascular diseases, on myocardial fibrosis and cardiac function. The AMI rat model was established by subcutaneous injection of Isoproterenol hydrochloride (ISO). Storax (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 g/kg) was administered by gavage once/d for 7 days. Electrocardiogram, echocardiography, hemodynamic and cardiac enzyme in AMI rats were measured. HE, Masson, immunofluorescence and TUNEL staining were used to observe the degree of pathological damage, fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in myocardial tissue, respectively. Expression of AT1R, CARP and their downstream related apoptotic proteins were detected by WB. The results demonstrated that storax could significantly improve cardiac electrophysiology and function, decrease serum cardiac enzyme activity, reduce type I and III collagen contents to improve fibrosis and alleviate myocardial pathological damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. It also found that storax can significantly down-regulate expression of AT1R, Ankrd1, P53, P-p53 (ser 15), Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 and up-regulate expression of Mdm2 and Bcl-2. Taken together, these findings indicated that storax effectively protected cardiomyocytes against myocardial fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting the AT1R–Ankrd1–P53 signaling pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms232113161","authors":["Zhuo Xu","Danni Lu","Jianmei Yuan","Liying Wang","Jiajun Wang","Ziqin Lei","Si Liu","Junjie Wu","Jian Wang","Lihua Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-10-30T07:26:50Z","doi":"10.3390/ijms232113161","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.pld.2019.01.001","name":"Transcriptome analysis of the endangered Notopterygium incisum: Cold-tolerance gene discovery and identification of EST-SSR and SNP markers","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pld.2019.01.001","authors":["Yun Jia","Ji-Qing Bai","Mi-Li Liu","Zhen-Fang Jiang","Yan Wu","Min-Feng Fang","Zhong-Hu Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-01-27T09:19:16Z","doi":"10.1016/j.pld.2019.01.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30159-0","name":"Prescriptions from Traditional Chinese Medicine compared with salbutamol and montelukast for the treatment of pediatric asthma: a randomized controlled trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30159-0","authors":["Du Hui","Wang Yonghong","Yu Jian","Shi Yumin","Li Suhuan","Sun Wen","Zhang Yiqun","Hu Hong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-09-19T18:17:11Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30159-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jaim.2025.101225","name":"Oral administration of osimertinib mesylate induced multiple peripheral neuropathy of a non-small-cell lung cancer patient and treated with traditional Chinese medicine -

Therefore, they have caused continuous harm to human public health since the pandemic in 2009 and in recent times. Influenza A (H1N1) can be prevented and treated in various ways, such as direct inhibition of the virus and regulation of human immunity. Among antiviral drugs, the use of natural products in treating influenza has a long history, and natural medicine has been widely considered the focus of development programs for new, safe anti-influenza drugs. In this paper, we focus on influenza A (H1N1) and summarize the natural product-derived phytochemicals for influenza A virus (H1N1) prevention and treatment, including marine natural products, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and their derivatives, phenols and their derivatives, polysaccharides, and derivatives of natural products for prevention and treatment of influenza A (H1N1) virus. We further discuss the toxicity and antiviral mechanism against influenza A (H1N1) as well as the druggability of natural products. We hope that this review will facilitate the study of the role of natural products against influenza A (H1N1) activity and provide a promising alternative for further anti-influenza A drug development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29102371","authors":["Ruichen Li","Qianru Han","Xiaokun Li","Xinguang Liu","Weijie Jiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-17T12:02:23Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules29102371","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1109/jbhi.2021.3087407","name":"Deep Adaptive Blending Network for 3D Magnetic Resonance Image Denoising","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/jbhi.2021.3087407","authors":["Yi Xu","Kang Han","Yongming Zhou","Jian Wu","Xin Xie","Wei Xiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-06-09T14:01:21Z","doi":"10.1109/jbhi.2021.3087407","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9780203050040-9","name":"Introduction: Western Medicine versus Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203050040-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-02T00:41:15Z","doi":"10.4324/9780203050040-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/bf02935377","name":"Shen Zh-Yin — A pioneer of the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02935377","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-17T17:13:07Z","doi":"10.1007/bf02935377","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60017-4","name":"The TCM Etiology, Pathogenesy and Differential Treatment for Sjogren's Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60017-4","authors":["Shui-yan ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-04-01T21:05:10Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(11)60017-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2023/5697896","name":"Spectrum-Effect Relationship between HPLC Fingerprint and Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activities of Chloranthus fortunei (A.

Gray) Solms-Laub (CF), to reveal the pharmacodynamic basis of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of CF. The fingerprints of ten batches of CF from various origins were established by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluated for similarity, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and principal component analysis (PCA). The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of CF were evaluated with the xylene-induced ear swelling in mice and the acetic acid torsion test, while the anti-inflammatory and analgesic spectrum-effect relationship of CF was evaluated by gray relational analysis (GRA) and partial least squares regression analysis (PLSR) to effectively elucidate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic substance basis of CF. The ten batches of CF HPLC fingerprints established in this work successfully identified a total of 13 common peaks that refer to 4 components, with peak 1 being neochlorogenic acid, peak 3 being chlorogenic acid, peak 5 being cryptochlorogenic acid, and peak 10 being rosmarinic acid. The HCA results presented that the ten batches of CF samples were clustered into 3 categories, which was consistent with the PCA results. Simultaneously, the results of the spectrum-effect relationship also indicated that neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and rosmarinic acid were the possible anti-inflammatory and analgesic substances of CF. In order to better understand the anti-inflammatory and analgesic substance basis of CF, this experiment established the anti-inflammatory and analgesic spectrum-effect relationship of CF, which can provide a scientific foundation for the quality evaluation and further research as well as the usage of CF herbs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/5697896","authors":["Junhao Shi","Qin Qiu","Xianxing Lu","Dandan Zhen","Xiaofang Liu","Baojun Gu","Chunping Qin","Huiqing Mo","Pengfei Li","Hanshen Zhen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-04T23:35:15Z","doi":"10.1155/2023/5697896","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60025-9","name":"Systematic review of randomized controlled trials of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of non-acute bronchial asthma complicated by gastroesophageal reflux","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60025-9","authors":["Yu-hao ZHAO","Zhao-lan LIU","Lan-hua LI","Sheng-hua JIANG","Cheng-he SHI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-04-24T16:18:49Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(12)60025-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/c2011-0-09058-0","name":"Modern Computational Approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/c2011-0-09058-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-08-03T15:00:31Z","doi":"10.1016/c2011-0-09058-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30036-5","name":"Traditional medical uses of Drimia species in terms of phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30036-5","authors":["Mahbubeh Bozorgi","Gholamreza Amin","Maryam Shekarchi","Roja Rahimi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-03-21T15:33:05Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30036-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53388/tmr20190725126","name":"Prescribing Chinese patent medicines without traditional Chinese medicine training is now banned in China","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53388/tmr20190725126","authors":["Editor Group"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-06T09:41:27Z","doi":"10.53388/tmr20190725126","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60021-7","name":"Acupuncture Treatment for 98 Cases of Ventricular Premature Beat","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60021-7","authors":["Han Baojie","Wang Feng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-06-19T08:43:01Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(08)60021-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-7020-4352-9.09985-9","name":"Dedication","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-7020-4352-9.09985-9","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-07-01T17:47:48Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-7020-4352-9.09985-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30365522u","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine.

Methods: A total of 300 participants were evaluated for their bilateral pulse based on TCM independently by two investigators with similar years of experience but who graduated from different medical schools. The investigators who were blinded diagnosed the participants as per TCM based on the depth, rate, and strength of their pulse. Cronbach α and weighted kappa were used for assessing the reliability and repeatability. Results: The data of all the 300 participants were included in the analysis. The test–retest reliability computed using Cronbach’s alpha indicated high reliability between the investigators (α =0.963). There were a total of 37 different types of diagnoses identified by both investigators. The investigators diagnoses matched for 116 participants out of 300 participants; whereas 184 cases were not matched between the investigators. The inter-rater agreement for the TCM diagnosis tested by weighted Kappa did not returned any significant agreement (Kappa = 0.370). Discussion: The present study shows higher reliability between the pulse diagnoses between the investigators. However, the inter-rater agreement for TCM diagnosis based on pulse diagnosis was not significant probably due to the variation in subjective assessments. This calls for the standardization of training in TCM diagnostic methods among practitioners. Future studies should include the differences in training, medical education, and experience among the practitioners while determining the reliability of pulse diagnosis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/2311-8571.388728","authors":["Mamta Jagwani","Gita Sharma","Hemanshu Sharma","Tara K.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly its derived active ingredients and herbal formulations, with its advantages of multi-component, multi-target, and holistic regulation, demonstrates significant potential in the comprehensive treatment of this disease. This review systematically outlines the research progress in TCM for combating glioma. Regarding mechanisms of action, active TCM components not only directly inhibit tumors by inducing cell apoptosis but also exert synergistic therapeutic effects via multiple pathways. These include remodeling the immunosuppressive microenvironment, activating novel cell death programs such as ferroptosis and immunogenic cell death, intervening in tumor metabolic reprogramming, and reversing chemotherapy resistance. In terms of overcoming delivery barriers, drug delivery systems represented by nanocarriers, liposomes, and extracellular vesicles, combined with the penetration-enhancing effects of aromatic orifice-opening herbs (a class of TCM medicinals traditionally used to “open the orifices” and awaken the mind, now recognized to transiently enhance BBB permeability), have significantly improved the brain-targeting efficiency and bioavailability of TCM components. For clinical translation, a number of innovative drugs derived from TCM, such as elemene, cinobufagin, and ACT001, are currently under clinical investigation, with initial results showing efficacy in prolonging survival and improving quality of life. In the future, by integrating the analysis of multi-target synergistic mechanisms, promoting the clinical translation of intelligent drug delivery systems, and conducting high-quality clinical research on integrated Chinese and Western medicine, TCM is expected to provide a new generation of integrated treatment strategies for glioma that combines holistic and precision medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph19050782","authors":["Xiaoting Shen","Yueling Wang","Yating Lin","Lirong Chen","Hao Wu","Jiaxin Jiang","Lisong Chen","Ying Chen","Desen Li","Wenyi Wang","Shuisheng Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T13:12:08Z","doi":"10.3390/ph19050782","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30095-9","name":"Effects on type 2 diabetes complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis: regiment of insulin, isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol versus the regiment plus Qi-boosting and Yin-nourishing decoction of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30095-9","authors":["Shi Guangcan","Zhang Ligong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-06-29T11:30:44Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(15)30095-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30076-6","name":"Colon hydrotherapy plus Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a pilot study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30076-6","authors":["Xiao Huanming","Jiang Junmin","Xie Yubao","Shi Meijie","Tian Guangjun","Zhao Pengtao","Zhang Chaozhen","Chen Huijun","Xu Chanyuan","Chi Xiaoling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2017-08-05T01:45:31Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(17)30076-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5772/26742","name":"Targeting Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/26742","authors":["Rui-Zhi Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2012-04-03T12:02:55Z","doi":"10.5772/26742","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-021-00429-y","name":"Neuroprotective effects of Shende’an tablet in the Parkinson’s disease model","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background Shende’an tablet (SDA) is a newly capsuled Chinese herbal formula derived from the Chinese traditional medicine Zhengan Xifeng Decoction which is approved for the treatment of neurasthenia and insomnia in China. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of SDA against Parkinson’s disease (PD) in vitro and in vivo. Methods In the present work, the neuroprotective effects and mechanism of SDA were evaluated in the cellular PD model. Male C57BL/6J mice were subject to a partial MPTP lesion alongside treatment with SDA. Behavioural test and tyrosine-hydroxylase immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate nigrostriatal tract integrity. HPLC analysis and Western blotting were used to assess the effect of SDA on dopamine metabolism and the expression of HO-1, PGC-1α and Nrf2, respectively. Results Our results demonstrated that SDA had neuroprotective effect in dopaminergic PC12 cells with 6-OHDA lesion.

In this study, we employed a mouse model in conjunction with transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to explore the antifungal activity of ANB against T. marneffei. In an in vivo mouse model infected with T. marneffei infection, ANB significantly reduced fungal burdens in the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Additionally, it markedly decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Proteomic and transcriptomic studies, complemented by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis, revealed that ANB effectively disrupted acid biosynthesis and cellular energy metabolism, thereby impairing mitochondrial functions in T. marneffei.

Systemic corticosteroids remain widely used, yet their benefit in unselected patients is uncertain, and indiscriminate immunosuppression may expose some patients to harm. A major translational gap is that most available biomarkers describe diagnosis, risk, or prognosis, but do not identify whether corticosteroids actually modify patient outcomes. This Hypothesis and Theory article proposes a testable, biomarker-guided conceptual framework that reframes corticosteroid treatment in acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-from the question of average benefit in unselected patients to the hypothesis that corticosteroid effects differ across corticosteroid-responsive, corticosteroid-neutral, and corticosteroid-harm-prone biological states. We synthesise evidence on disease biology, corticosteroid outcome data, and candidate circulating, imaging, microbiological, and physiological biomarkers. Epithelial injury, inflammatory activation, fibroproliferation, endothelial and coagulation injury, infection or other trigger burden, radiological extent, oxygenation, and early clinical trajectory are evaluated as components of a treatment-stratification framework. We emphasise that these markers currently function mainly as diagnostic, risk, prognostic, safety, or dynamic-response markers rather than validated predictors of corticosteroid response. To bridge this gap, we propose a translational framework that integrates baseline biological signals with structured reassessment at 72-96 h. This framework separates three decision domains: inflammatory reversibility (the likelihood of corticosteroid-modifiable sterile inflammation), irreversible epithelial/fibroproliferative injury (the burden of structural damage unlikely to be modified by corticosteroids), and infection- or host vulnerability-related harm risk (the probability that immunosuppression is unsafe). It is intended to guide prospective treatment-aware cohorts, biomarker-by-treatment interaction analyses, target-trial emulation, and biomarker-enriched or adaptive trials.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42643840/","authors":["Chen Q","Zhang Y","Li J","Zhu Q","Wang Z","Wen X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1934548","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42643810","name":"Favorable response to second-line sirolimus regardless of STAT3/5b status in acquired pure red cell aplasia: A retrospective study from a single center.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Cyclosporine A (CsA) is the standard first-line treatment for acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), but outcomes vary.

BDE47-related lung adenocarcinoma genes were identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). The screen identified 406 overlapping genes potentially linking BDE47 exposure to lung adenocarcinoma pathogenesis-related processes. Network topology analysis delineated well-defined hub genes organizing into functionally coherent modules. Pathway enrichment highlighted significant involvement in cancer-related signaling (such as PI3K-AKT, IL-17), cell cycle, ECM-receptor activation and chemical carcinogenesis-receptor activation. The LASSO-derived prognostic signature comprised four genes (KIF11, CCNA2, CCNB1, TOP2A) that effectively stratified patients into distinct risk cohorts. Molecular docking suggested that BDE47 might bind with high affinity to these target proteins, with CCNB1 emerging as a potential key target. In vitro experiments demonstrated that BDE47 treatment significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration, attenuated cisplatin sensitivity, and upregulated the expression of p-AKT and CCNB1 in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Furthermore, cisplatin treatment suppressed CCNB1 protein levels, an effect that was reversed by co-incubation with BDE47.

Its pathogenesis involves chronic inflammation, impaired clearance of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis), and lipid dysregulation within the arterial wall. The CD47-SIRPα signaling axis, a key immune checkpoint, has been identified as a critical regulator integrating these processes in the atherosclerotic plaque microenvironment. This review systematically details the multifaceted role of the aberrantly activated CD47-SIRPα axis in driving AS progression. We elaborate on its molecular architecture and how it pathologically inhibits macrophage efferocytosis by disrupting cytoskeletal dynamics and integrin-mediated adhesion. The axis concurrently sustains a pro-inflammatory state within plaques and disrupts cholesterol homeostasis by promoting lipid influx and inhibiting efflux, thereby accelerating foam cell formation. We further evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies targeting this axis, including monoclonal antibodies, engineered SIRPα-Fc fusion proteins, and multifunctional nanocarriers designed for plaque-targeted delivery. These approaches aim to restore efferocytosis, mitigate inflammation, and resolve lipid accumulation. While preclinical results are encouraging, challenges such as cell-type-specific effects, potential on-target hematological toxicity, and the need for precise delivery persist. Therapeutic modulation of the CD47-SIRPα axis presents a promising immunometabolic strategy for AS.

BO-Dox/STS-NPs were comprehensively evaluated by measuring their particle size, encapsulation efficiency, and drug-loading capacity.

In an orthotopic rat glioma model, the antitumor efficacy and cardioprotective effects of Dox, Dox/STS, Dox/STS-NPs, BO-Dox/STS-NPs, and Dox-NPs were compared. In vitro, U87 cells were treated with these formulations, and antitumor effects were assessed via CCK8 assay, flow cytometry, migration assay, and colony formation assay. In orthotopic glioma rat models, treatment with BO-Dox/STS-NPs resulted in superior tumor inhibition and increased tumor cell apoptosis compared to other formulations. Furthermore, BO-Dox/STS-NPs significantly alleviated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by improved myocardial pathology, reduced left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and decreased levels of cardiac injury markers (cTnI, CK) and oxidative stress indicators (LDH, MDA), alongside enhanced antioxidant capacity (SOD) and mitochondrial membrane potential.

Baicalein (Bai) is one of the major active components of Scutellariae Radix for treating pulmonary diseases. However, its specific underlying molecular mechanism is unknown for treating sepsis-mediated ALI. Herein, we found that Bai inhibited the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway to suppress inflammation and oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo, alleviating the course of lung injury. Affinity chromatography revealed that Bai directly bound to eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 (eEF1A1) through hydrogen bond interaction with Q108 and D110, exhibiting a dissociation constant ( K d ) of 336 nM. Mechanistically, Bai blocked the interaction between eEF1A1 and peroxiredoxin 4 (Prdx4) to inhibit ring finger protein 14 (RNF14)-mediated ubiquitin-dependent degradation of Prdx4 based on APEX2 and Co-IP experiments. Moreover, eEF1A1 knockdown could repress inflammation, whereas its overexpression exerted an opposite effect in the in vitro experiments. Notably, Bai did not display any additional protective effect in LPS-mediated eEF1A1 knockdown cells, while its effect was weakened in LPS-mediated eEF1A1 overexpression cells. In addition, our study revealed that the course of sepsis-mediated lung injury was alleviated in vivo by eEF1A1 knockdown, and no extra effects were exhibited by Bai in sepsis-mediated eEF1A1 knockdown mice. These findings collectively suggested that targeting eEF1A1 represented a promising therapeutic strategy against sepsis-associated lung injury through dual anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms, particularly via Bai's role as a direct blocker disrupting eEF1A1-Prdx4 interactions.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42643664/","authors":["Chang J","Zhang HL","Zhu QM","Hui SW","Xu XR","Oppong MB","Feng YL","Zhang J","Sun CP","Qiu F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 24","doi":"10.1002/exp2.70206","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42643654","name":"Body mass index-related heterogeneity in diaphragm thickening fraction response to exercise training in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Diaphragmatic dysfunction contributes to exercise intolerance in COPD, but whether BMI shapes baseline function and response to exercise remains unclear.

It also examines the dual functions of these cells in IRI: instead of solely acting as consistent pro-inflammatory effectors, they demonstrate a context-dependent immunomodulatory profile influenced by the organ microenvironment and disease stage, capable of promoting inflammatory damage and facilitating anti-inflammatory repair. Their behavior is shaped by a common injury response program that integrates local antigen cues, the cytokine milieu, metabolic checkpoints, and signals from the repair stage. Expounding on the spatiotemporal heterogeneity, functional plasticity, and regulatory networks of unconventional T cells in IRI will enhance our understanding of the immunopathological mechanisms.

RAW 264.7 macrophages and HK‑2 renal epithelial cells were treated with engeletin with or without monosodium urate (MSU) stimulation. Cell viability was assessed by the CCK‑8 assay.

In this study, we constructed a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of human knee cartilage from 16 OA samples and 2 non-OA normal donors. High-resolution sub-clustering of the prehypertrophic chondrocytes (preHTC) compartment revealed eight transcriptionally distinct subtypes, among which CRIP1 + preHTC emerged as the most significantly expanded population in OA, particularly in weight-bearing regions. Pseudotemporal trajectory inference and regulon analysis identified EGR3 as a candidate key regulator for CRIP1 + preHTC. High-dimensional weighted gene coexpression network analysis (hdWGCNA) demonstrated matrix-remodeling and proteostasis-stress transcriptional programs were highly active in CRIP1 + preHTC. Cell-cell communication analysis uncovered that CRIP1 + preHTC acts as a central signaling hub in OA, with markedly enhanced FN1 signaling pathway. Spatial transcriptomics confirmed that CRIP1 + preHTC co-localizes with prefibroblasts (preFC) in pathological niches and interacts with other cells in the OA microenvironment. Finally, a machine-learning-based 10-gene classifier (JUN, MCOLN3, RHOC, AKR7A2, HSPG2, AK4, B4GALT2, CLSTN1, LRRC41, and GADD45A) derived from CRIP1 + preHTC-associated hub genes accurately discriminated OA from normal tissues in two independent bulk RNA-seq cohorts.

However, senescence-related biomarkers with diagnostic potential and microenvironmental relevance in sarcopenia remain insufficiently defined. We integrated bulk transcriptome data from sarcopenia and control samples, with senescence-associated gene sets from the GenAge and CellAge databases to identify senescence-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Transcriptomic landscape was characterized via principal component analysis (PCA), volcano plot visualization, heatmap clustering, functional enrichment analysis, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Candidate diagnostic genes were screened using three complementary machine learning algorithms: least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), and random forest (RF). Diagnostic performance was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, nomogram construction, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Immune and stromal infiltration patterns were estimated via single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and xCell deconvolution. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), pseudotime trajectory analysis, hub gene-centered GSEA/GSVA, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), immune checkpoint correlation analysis, and ligand-receptor communication analysis were further performed to investigate the cellular localization, dynamic expression patterns, and potential regulatory roles of hub genes. Animal experiment was conducted to validate the reliability of the main analyses. A total of 42 senescence-related DEGs were identified in sarcopenia. Functional enrichment analyses indicated significant involvement of kinase activity regulation, receptor tyrosine kinase-related signaling, JAK-STAT signaling, AMPK signaling, ERK1/2 cascade regulation, and extracellular matrix-related pathways. GSEA revealed positive enrichment of NABA Core Matrisome and negative enrichment of the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport pathway in sarcopenia. Integrative machine learning analysis converged on PCK1, EGFR, and MAPKAPK3 as senescence-related hub genes. PCK1 and EGFR were significantly upregulated in sarcopenia, whereas MAPKAPK3 was significantly downregulated. The individual AUC values for diagnosis were 0.777 (PCK1), 0.764 (EGFR), and 0.751 (MAPKAPK3), while the combined three-gene model achieved an improved AUC of 0.801. Immune infiltration analysis showed that PCK1 and EGFR were positively associated with fibroblast-related stromal signatures, while MAPKAPK3 showed an opposite trend and was more closely linked to Th1-cell-related immune features. Single-cell and pseudotime analyses further demonstrated that these hub genes exhibited distinct cellular localization and dynamic expression patterns across the myogenic lineage. WGCNA and immune checkpoint analyses supported their participation in broader regulatory networks associated with sarcopenia. In addition, EGFR-centered virtual knockout analysis revealed significantly altered intercellular communication, especially involving fibroblast- and muscle-related compartments. Experimental validation in a rat sarcopenia model confirmed the bioinformatics findings: PCK1 and EGFR mRNA and protein levels were significantly upregulated, while MAPKAPK3 was significantly downregulated in the sarcopenia group compared with controls (all P < 0.05), supporting the reliability of the identified hub genes. PCK1, EGFR, and MAPKAPK3 are senescence-related candidate biomarkers in sarcopenia and may reflect distinct yet interconnected biological processes involving metabolic adaptation, stromal remodeling, immune microenvironment alteration, and myogenic dysregulation.

The review elaborates on the dual-pathway model of glaucoma pathogenesis in diabetics, encompassing the aqueous humour dynamics pathway leading to neovascular glaucoma and the intraocular pressure -independent neurodegenerative pathway causing direct retinal ganglion cell injury. These pathways are driven by chronic hyperglycaemia, microvascular dysfunction, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy, particularly proliferative diabetic retinopathy, markedly heighten the risk. The potential neuroprotective roles of anti-diabetic agents like metformin and GLP-1 receptor agonists beyond glycemic control are discussed. The review underscores the imperative of early detection through regular screening, the challenges of patient adherence and the application of modern technologies like optical coherence tomography angiography and artificial intelligence for monitoring.

In the bone marrow microenvironment, mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) act as key paracrine mediators, regulating the function of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Based on the traditional concept of medicine-food homology, our team has developed Fuzheng Buxue dietary therapy (FBDT) and previously demonstrated its clinical efficacy in alleviating CIM. This study investigates whether FBDT alleviates CIM by modulating MSC-EV function.MethodsIn vitro, the optimal conditions for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced injury and FBDT intervention were first determined. CD34+ HSPCs were co-cultured with FBDT-preconditioned MSCs (FBDT-MSCs), and the expression of surface markers CD117 and CD150 was evaluated. Subsequently, EVs were isolated from FBDT-MSCs and co-cultured with CD34+ HSPCs. HSPC viability and CD117/CD150 expression were assessed. In vivo, a 5-FU-induced CIM rat model received tail vein injections of EVs from FBDT-MSCs (FBDT-EVs). Body weight, peripheral blood parameters, and serum CD117 and SCF levels were measured. Histopathology and organ indices of spleen, thymus, and bone marrow were analyzed. Key hematopoietic regulators (CD117, SCF, CD90) in bone marrow were detected by Western blot. Finally, serum creatinine levels in rats were measured.ResultsCo-culture with FBDT-MSCs increased HSPC numbers but did not significantly alter the distribution of CD117/CD150-defined HSPC subpopulations. FBDT-EVs enhanced the viability of CD34+ HSPCs in the co-culture system and increased the proportion of CD117+CD150+ HSPCs. Furthermore, FBDT-EVs promoted the recovery of hematopoietic function in CIM rats, with the reversal of body weight loss and restoration of key blood cell parameters. FBDT-EVs reduced CD117 protein levels in both bone marrow tissue and serum, while upregulating the expression of SCF and CD90. Serum creatinine levels were not significantly altered, suggesting no apparent renal toxicity under the present experimental conditions.ConclusionThe study identifies MSC-EVs as a potential mediator of the hematopoietic effects of FBDT and suggests that FBDT may enhance the hematopoietic reparative properties of MSC-EVs. These findings suggest that MSC-EVs may mediate, at least in part, the hematopoietic effects of FBDT and that FBDT preconditioning enhances the hematopoietic reparative potential of MSC-EVs in CIM.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42642039/","authors":["Yin M","Dong H","Tu W","Yan S","Ye R","Xu G","Yang M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan-Dec","doi":"10.1177/15347354261482129","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42642018","name":"Serum Pharmacochemistry Combined With Network Pharmacology to Explore Potential Bioactive Components and Mechanisms of Pomegranate Peel in the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Pomegranate peel (PP) is a traditional Chinese medicinal material.

Our preliminary research suggested that neferine (NEF)-a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from Nelumbinis plumula-is a potential antagonist of OXRs in vitro. However, it remains poorly understood whether NEF affects sleep architecture and quality, as well as the underlying neurobiological mechanisms. To explore this, a chronic sleep-deprived (CSD) mouse model was established using a multi-platform method. The pentobarbital-induced sleep test and HomeCageScan system analysis showed that 3 weeks of CSD prolonged sleep latency, decreased sleep duration and reduced sleep behavior, and NEF treatment (80 mg/kg) could obviously reverse these effects. Telemetric EEG/EMG recordings revealed that NEF administration increased the delta power ratio (sleep depth) and reduced sleep fragmentation (sleep stability) in chronically sleep-deprived mice. Mechanistically, Ca 2+ influx assays and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that NEF effectively antagonized OXRs both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that OXRs are highly expressed in monoaminergic neurons within the locus coeruleus (LC) and the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). NEF treatment suppressed the activities of noradrenergic-LC and serotonergic-DRN neurons, and reduced the levels of their corresponding neurotransmitters, norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT). Together, these findings indicate that NEF exerts desirable sleep-promoting effects by improving sleep depth and sleep stability in sleep-deprived mice, and these effects are potentially mediated by antagonizing OXRs in noradrenergic and serotonergic neurons.

Although mRNA-LNP vaccines offer a flexible platform for antibacterial immunization, conventional formulations are primarily optimized for gene expression and often result in systemic antigen distribution. Here, we developed a novel ionizable lipid, LC3, that enables spatially confined antigen expression following intramuscular administration while enhancing immunostimulatory activity. Compared with SM102-based LNPs, mRNA-LNP LC3 achieved preferential antigen expression at the injection site and draining lymph nodes, with reduced hepatic expression. Mechanistic studies revealed a pronounced decoupling between cellular uptake and productive gene expression, where LC3-based LNPs showed comparable uptake but cell-context-dependent expression differences between hepatocytes and muscle cells, indicating that intracellular processing rather than uptake efficiency governs functional expression and underlies the liver-sparing profile. Single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that LNP LC3 vaccination induced a coordinated early immune activation program. Functionally, LNP LC3 elicited stronger humoral and cellular immune responses than LNP SM102 and conferred improved protection against P. aeruginosa, while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Collectively, these results demonstrate that LC3 enables spatially restricted antigen expression through cell-context-dependent intracellular processing, linking localized expression to enhanced immunostimulatory activity. LC3-based LNPs therefore integrate spatial control of antigen expression with improved immune activation, providing a rational strategy for mRNA-LNP vaccine design.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42641929/","authors":["Zhang N","Sun Z","Fan L","Miao Y","Wei A","Gao X","Zhang J","Sun Y","Wei X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1016/j.jconrel.2026.115306","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42641839","name":"β-sitosterol inhibited hypoxia-related colorectal cancer metastasis by regulating HIF-1α/VEGF pathway.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aimed to investigate how β-sitosterol (SIT) suppresses hypoxia-driven metastasis and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42641839/","authors":["Dai L","Meng P","Hu J","Dou H","Li S","Zhang X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1016/j.cellsig.2026.112847","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42641801","name":"Closed-loop insulin delivery for glycaemic control in hospitalised and perioperative adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"We evaluated whether closed-loop insulin delivery improves glycaemic control in hospitalised and perioperative adults.

The nested-spectral partition (NSP) method was applied to comprehensively characterize differences in functional brain networks among the three groups. Linear regression models and correlation analyses were further conducted to examine associations between clinical measures and neuroimaging metrics. The ID-D group showed more severe insomnia, depressive, and anxiety symptoms than the ID-ND group. ID-ND exhibited significantly greater whole-brain and network-level functional integration than HCs, and these findings were stable in stratified bootstrap analyses. At the regional level, ID-ND showed greater integration than HCs, mainly involving the prefrontal cortex, sensorimotor regions, insula, and parietal lobe. The functional integration within the prefrontal cortex, temporal gyrus, and fusiform gyrus was also higher in the ID-ND group than in the ID-D group, and these regional differences spatially corresponded with molecular maps of relatively high 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and GABAA receptor distribution. In the ID-D group, depression severity was positively correlated with integration in the subcortical network, visual network, dorsal attention network, and somatosensory-motor network, but none of these survived FDR correction.

FZP exhibited a high purity of 94.37% and was predominantly composed of proteins with molecular weights ranging from 15 to 25 kDa. Ultrafiltration revealed that the FZP > 10 kDa fraction possessed superior antioxidant activity. In vitro gastrointestinal digestion tests showed progressive protein degradation, with a final degree of hydrolysis of 62%, indicating the high digestibility of FZP. Arginine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid were identified as the most abundant amino acids in FZP. In a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model, FZP markedly alleviated colitis symptoms by mitigating body weight loss, decreasing disease activity index scores, and preventing colon shortening. Moreover, FZP effectively ameliorated colonic histopathological injury and attenuated goblet cell depletion. Mechanistically, FZP reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), oxidative stress-related markers (MDA and MPO), and serum LPS, which is associated with endotoxin exposure and intestinal barrier damage, while elevating anti-inflammatory IL-10 and antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT). Furthermore, FZP restored the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1) and ameliorated gut microbiota dysbiosis by increasing microbial diversity and enriching beneficial intestinal bacteria. Collectively, FZP alleviates colitis via the coordinated regulation of inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, intestinal barrier function, and gut microbiota homeostasis. These findings suggest that FZP is a promising bioactive fermented protein ingredient and provides a feasible approach for the high-value utilization of ZBS by-products.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42641728/","authors":["Gu X","Xu G","Lu X","Mektrirat R","Wang L","Zhang K","Wang X","Guo Z","Meng B","Liu S","Zhang J","Li J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.154218","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42641680","name":"Prognostic model based on calcium-related genes predicts prognosis and reveals the immune landscape of acute myeloid leukemia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) exhibits heterogeneous outcomes and lacks reliable prognostic markers.

The tumor microenvironment poses physical and cellular barriers that operate not as independent hurdles but as self-reinforcing systems, an architecture that dictates a target-selection logic whereby nanocarriers must engage paired targets simultaneously rather than sequentially. This logic translates into three coupled engineering requirements, namely co-loading of physicochemically diverse agents, spatial coordination across subcellular compartments, and temporal synchronization of release. Pre-programmed stimuli-responsive systems embody the current capability for meeting these demands. The boundary between pre-programmed computation and adaptive feedback is further evaluated, with the latter defined by the capacity to sense therapeutic outcomes and modulate subsequent release, a feat that remains unrealized in vivo. Finally, three translational challenges are assessed, all converging on whether the execution of a nanocarrier's therapeutic program can be trusted in the patient. Trust becomes possible when the carrier's trajectory hinges on biological processes conserved across patients, when its fabrication preserves the structural features encoding its function, and when its material composition dictates a predictable clearance pathway. These are not translational afterthoughts but the design constraints that will determine whether the next generation of cancer nanomedicines fulfills its clinical promise.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42641361/","authors":["Wu Y","Tang F","Lee J","Liang Y","Zengin G","Zhang Q","Sun W","Li MY"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 17","doi":"10.1016/j.biomaterials.2026.124551","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42641357","name":"Beta-ketothiolase deficiency: two novel ACAT1 variants and a retrospective study of 76 cases in China.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Beta-ketothiolase deficiency (BKTD) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder caused by variants in the ACAT1 gene.

Clinically, it is used by traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This study established an experimental rat model of ischemic DFU to investigate its therapeutic effect and potential mechanism in DFU. The results showed that T-Ointment significantly promoted wound healing in diabetic rats by inhibiting excessive inflammation, promoting epithelial regeneration, angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that the core compounds (quercetin, phellochin, fumarine, poriferast-5-en-3beta-ol, and jaranol) in T-Ointment targeted multiple key genes (AKT1, TGF-β, HIF-1, TNF, IL-6, EGFR, TP53 and MAPK) and were closely associated with multiple important signaling pathways (PI3K/AKT, EGFR, TGF-β/Smad, and MAPK/ERK etc.). Analysis of combined results from KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and molecular docking, the key pathways potentially promoted by T-Ointment for diabetic foot ulcer healing were identified: the PI3K/AKT and EGFR pathways. Further research has confirmed that T-Ointment indeed reversed the downregulation of the PI3K/AKT and EGFR pathways in the diabetic foot ulcer group.

Multiple experimental approaches including transmission electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, western blotting, flow cytometry, pharmacological inhibition, and siRNA interference, were applied to investigate the apoptotic mechanism triggered by IBRV infection. The results showed that IBRV infection destroyed ER ultrastructure and upregulated the expression of ER stress biomarker GRP78, accompanied by the full activation of three core branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR), including PERK, IRE1, and ATF6. Meanwhile, IBRV significantly promoted the formation of ER-mitochondrial membrane contact sites (MCSs) and triggered excessive Ca 2+ release from the ER, leading to mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload.

This study demonstrates the potent immunomodulatory and antitumor effects of coixenolide, a bioactive fatty acid ester from Coix lacryma-jobi L., particularly in obesity-associated PAAD. Utilizing high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mouse models, we found that coixenolide significantly inhibited tumor growth in HFD mice compared to control diet (CD) mice, correlating with enhanced intra-tumoral CD8 + T cell infiltration and cytotoxicity, reduced regulatory T cells (Tregs), and increased tumor cell apoptosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of PAAD tissues revealed that coixenolide specifically expanded and activated cytotoxic CD8 + T cells within the TME of HFD mice. Further analysis identified distinct malignant epithelial cell clusters enriched in HFD tumors, characterized by high expression of S100a8/a9 and stemness potential. Coixenolide treatment significantly reduced these S100a8/a9-expressing tumor cell populations and suppressed S100a8/a9 protein expression and secretion. Cell-cell communication analysis and functional assays revealed that tumor cell-derived S100a8/a9 interacted with Cd36 on CD8 + T cells. This interaction promoted CD36-mediated fatty acid uptake, leading to lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, and functional exhaustion of CD8 + T cells. Coixenolide disrupted this axis by inhibiting tumor cell S100a8/a9, thereby downregulating CD36 on CD8 + T cells, reducing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, and restoring CD8 + T cell cytotoxicity. Genetic knockout (S100a9 KO) of tumor cells mimicked coixenolide's effects, enhancing CD8 + T cell function and suppressing tumor growth in vivo, especially in HFD mice. Clinical data confirmed elevated S100A8/A9 expression in human PAAD tumors correlated with poor survival, advanced stage, and higher histological grade, and scRNA-seq of patient samples showed S100A8/A9 expression in malignant ductal cells. Collectively, these results identify coixenolide as an immune-metabolic modulator that attenuates obesity-driven immunosuppression in PAAD at least in significant part through inhibition of the S100A8/A9-CD36 axis, with lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis of CD8 + T cells reduced.

Metabolic disturbance, particularly the disruption of substance and energy metabolism, is increasingly recognized as a central hallmark of aging. Emerging evidence suggests that dysregulation of the urea cycle (UC) contributes to aging-related pathological processes, including cognitive impairment; however, its role in astrocyte-mediated brain aging remains unclear. In this study, we used a D-galactose-induced mouse aging model to investigate the involvement of UC activation in age-related cognitive decline. Aging mice exhibited marked cognitive impairment, accompanied by an increased proportion of reactive astrocytes in the hippocampus, a key pathological feature of brain aging. Metabolic analysis and molecular validation revealed enhanced UC activity and increased urea production in aging mice. Inhibition of UC activation reduced urea production and decreased the proportion of hippocampal reactive astrocytes. Mechanistically, the expression of key UC-related enzymes, including ornithine decarboxylase 1 (ODC1) and arginase 1 (ARG1), was significantly downregulated, accompanied by improved mitochondrial dynamics, particularly the restoration of mitochondrial fusion and fission balance. Furthermore, ODC1 knockdown confirmed its critical role in mediating UC activation in astrocytes and significantly alleviated aging-like cellular phenotypes. Notably, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptides (GLPs) effectively suppressed UC activation in aging astrocytes by downregulating ODC1 and ARG1. Collectively, this study identifies dysregulated astrocytic UC activity as a novel metabolic mechanism linking astrocyte reactivity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and age-related cognitive decline, suggesting that targeting ODC1-mediated UC activation and mitochondrial dynamics may provide a promising dual strategy for combating brain aging.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640396/","authors":["Wu M","Zhang S","Zhao X","Zhang B","Wan G","Gui J","Zhang M","Yang B","Chen D","Li G","Chen Q","Huang B"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1007/s10522-026-10483-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640395","name":"Exosomes in the treatment of age-related ophthalmic diseases: an updated review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin that mediate intercellular communication by transferring bioactive cargo, including proteins, lipids, messenger RNAs, microRNAs, and other regulatory molecules.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), although not classically defined as an age-related ophthalmic disease, is also briefly discussed in this review as an age-associated metabolic retinal comorbidity. Existing clinical treatments have several limitations, including the need for repeated administration, variable therapeutic responses, and potential adverse effects. Because of their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, modifiable cargo and potential for local delivery, exosomes are being investigated as therapeutic agents and drug delivery vehicles in ophthalmology. This review summarizes the biological characteristics of exosomes and their potential relevance to ophthalmic applications, reviews recent evidence on their roles and mechanisms in major age-related ophthalmic diseases, and discusses the current limitations and future directions of exosome-based therapeutic strategies.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640395/","authors":["Lin L","Zhang J","Xie X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10792-026-04215-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640362","name":"Hesperetin loaded fucoidan selenium nanoparticles alleviate cisplatin induced acute kidney injury via antioxidant and cGAS STING pathway regulation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"To fabricate hesperetin-loaded fucoidan-selenium (Hes/Fu-Se) nanoparticles (NPs) for alleviating cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), overcoming hesperetin's low solubility and bioavailability and boosting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640362/","authors":["Long L","Zhang Y","Xiao J","Zang J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1186/s11671-026-04871-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640343","name":"Integrated genome-wide high-throughput screening and functional validation identifies Sm proteins as essential splicing regulators for gastric cancer progression.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Alternative splicing mediated by Smith antigen (Sm) proteins involving seven small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides (SNRPs), plays a critical role in cancer progression. Our previous work identified Sm protein B (SNRPB) as an essential gene in gastric cancer (GC) cells. However, the functional roles of the broader Sm proteins and their regulatory mechanisms in GC progression remain unclear. Integrating genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 and RNA interference proliferation screening data from human GC cell lines, we identified Sm proteins as essential genes for GC growth. Analysis of RNA-seq data from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed elevated Sm proteins mRNA levels in GC. Further Single-cell RNA sequencing data from the GSE183904 dataset further confirmed Sm proteins overexpression in GC malignant epithelial cells. Functional validation demonstrated that knockdown of SNRPB, SNRPD1, SNRPD2, or SNRPD3 suppressed GC cell proliferation. Specifically, scRNA-seq data analysis and in vitro assays showed that SNRPB depletion modulated the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, thereby impairing cell proliferation and migration while promoting apoptosis. Consistently, SNRPB knockdown markedly inhibited tumor growth in xenograft models. Mechanistically, SNRPB depletion mediated exon skipping in CASP6 pre-mRNA, upregulating CASP6 transcript variant ENST00000352981, which restrained proliferation and induced apoptosis. Clinical analysis of four independent cohorts revealed that SNRPB overexpression in GC tissues was significantly associated with poor patient prognosis. In conclusion, our integrated approach defines the Sm proteins as essential for GC progression. Specifically, SNRPB mediated exon skipping of CASP6 facilitates tumor progression, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting this splicing pathway.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640343/","authors":["Chen D","Wu J","Zhang Y","Chen Y","Yu J","Ye J","Li D","Gu L","Li J","Xiong X","Zeng Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10142-026-02015-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640247","name":"Bidirectional fermentation of Tremella fuciformis and Acanthopanax trifoliatus alleviates lipid accumulation in LO2 cells.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder with limited intervention. This study developed a bidirectional fermentation system combining Tremella fuciformis and Acanthopanax trifoliatus (TF-AT) to enhance metabolite biotransformation and bioactivity. TF-AT showed stronger lipid-lowering effects than the unfermented controls in the free fatty acid (FFA)-induced human normal hepatocyte cell line (LO2 cells). Network pharmacology and targeted metabolomics were used to identify key phenolic metabolites and potential signaling pathways. The TF-AT fermentation product was fractionated into free phenolic fractions (TF-AT-1-TF-AT-6) and a crude polysaccharide fraction (TF-AT-PS). In vitro assays were performed in FFA-induced LO2 cells to assess lipid accumulation, cell viability, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and mRNA expression of MAPK pathway-related genes. Ten phenolic metabolites, including quercetin, myricetin, and luteolin, were identified, and the MAPK pathway was predicted as a potential signaling pathway associated with TF-AT activity. TF-AT, TF-AT-1, and TF-AT-PS significantly improved the cell viability, reduced lipid droplets, and lowered TG and TC levels in FFA-induced LO2 cells, suggesting that bidirectional fermentation contributed to enhanced bioactivity. qPCR analysis showed that these effects were accompanied by downregulation of JNK1, ASK1, p38, ELK-1, and p53 mRNA, indicating the possible involvement of MAPK/JNK/p38-related transcriptional responses. Overall, TF-AT attenuated FFA-induced lipid accumulation in LO2 cells and may serve as a promising fermented multi-component functional ingredient for hepatic steatosis-related intervention, although further protein-level and in vivo validation is required.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640247/","authors":["Wu Y","Chen S","Chen Y","Yu Q","Li J","Pan Y","Zhou L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1039/d6fo02892f","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640224","name":"Transient hepatic portal venous gas and gastric emphysema following ingestion of hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42640224/","authors":["Yu G","Lv S","Jian T","Li W","Jian X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 25","doi":"10.1080/15563650.2026.2718880","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42640159","name":"Uhrf1-Mediated PKM2 Degradation via Ubiquitination Alleviates Inflammation and Pyroptosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic relapsing intestinal inflammation and closely associated with persistent inflammatory responses and impairment of the mucosal barrier integrity.

This study designed an injectable and adhesive tannic acid-iron hydrogel for locally mild photothermal therapy (PTT, ≤ 45°C) and ferroptosis to prevent the postoperative recurrence and metastasis in combination with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. First, this system was assembled from tannic acid (TA) and gelatin microspheres to form an injectable and adhesive hydrogel (Gel/TA).

Gel/TA/Fe 3+ hydrogels not only ablated tumor cells and induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, but also elicited ferroptosis of both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophage (TAMs), resulting in dendritic cells (DCs) maturation, T-cell infiltration and down-regulation of ferroptosis-sensitive M2-type TAMs levels. Therefore, in cooperation with αPD-L1, Gel/TA/Fe 3+ could not only evoke an immune response against the primary tumor, but also promote an abscopal effect against distant metastatic tumor.

Two proprietary Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) black plasters, designated as Heiyu Gao A and B based on century-old formulations, were externally applied to the ulcers and surrounding skin.

Treatment demonstrated two novel features: tissue-intelligent selective autolytic debridement targeting only necrotic tissue, and concurrent regenerative repair at wound margins. All patients experienced significant pain reduction within three days of initiating treatment. The healing was characterized by absence of scarring and restoration of normal skin architecture. The follow-up periods ranged from 95 to 580 d, with no recurrence observed.

Second, water-based decoction inevitably co-extracts inorganic arsenic at roughly four times the Chinese Pharmacopoeia limit. Third, CORS components lack tumor-targeting capability. We propose combining purified cordycepin and CSP with magnetic PLGA-PEG nanoparticles loaded with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), using an external magnet to concentrate the nanoparticles at the tumor and focused ultrasound to do two things at once: mechanically disrupt the polymer matrix to release the drug payload, and where a sonosensitizer is co-loaded, generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). We also address a practical hurdle: ultrasound attenuates massively in aerated lung. We review workarounds including endobronchial ultrasound, lower frequencies, and microbubble-enhanced cavitation. Compared with immune checkpoint inhibitors, which require PD-L1 positivity and carry a risk of serious immune-related adverse events, our platform operates through multi-targeted mechanisms independent of a single biomarker.

Shikonin suppresses glycolysis mediated by pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), disrupts the signaling axis involving PKM2, prolyl hydroxylase domain 3 (PHD3), and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), impairs mitochondrial function, and promotes reactive oxygen species accumulation, thereby destabilizing metabolic homeostasis and adaptive survival. It also induces apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD)-associated responses in HCC-related models, whereas evidence for necroptosis remains limited and requires further causal validation. In nanodelivery-based HCC models, the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) has been associated with dendritic cell maturation, antigen presentation, cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8⁺) T-cell activation, and improved responses to immune checkpoint blockade.

This review focuses on three main aspects: functional outcomes, signaling pathways, and regulatory mechanisms. In terms of functional outcomes, exosomes from different origins influence macrophage polarization, activation, recruitment, and programmed cell death. Regarding signaling pathways, exosomes function primarily through two distinct modules-the conserved core pathways, represented by PI3K/Akt, STAT3, and NF-κB, and the context-dependent mechanisms, represented by MAPK and PTEN. With respect to regulatory modes, exosomes control macrophage functional differentiation via non-coding RNAs and metabolic reprogramming. In addition, this review compares the heterogeneity of exosomes derived from different sources, analyzes the mechanisms and selectivity of exosome uptake by macrophages, and outlines the key challenges and strategies for clinical translation. In summary, exosomes regulate macrophage function through multiple pathways and targets, playing critical roles in tumor biology, inflammation, and tissue repair.

Recent studies in immunometabolism suggest that BCAA metabolism regulates macrophage polarization in a context-dependent manner. Physiological BCAA catabolism supports M2-like oxidative metabolism and repair functions, whereas chronic overload of BCAA and its catabolic metabolites in diabetes may promote pro-inflammatory responses through multiple pathways. Disruptions in BCAA metabolism mediate the remodeling of macrophage immunometabolism and polarization imbalance, thereby inducing the onset and progression of metabolic inflammation in diabetes. Accordingly, this study will conduct a systematic literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to review the mechanisms by which BCAA metabolic disorders in diabetes mediate the immunometabolic reprogramming of macrophages and regulate the imbalance in M1/M2 polarization. Current evidence suggests that BCAA metabolic dysregulation can drive macrophage metabolic reprogramming through multiple pathways, leading to an imbalance in M1/M2 polarization and promoting diabetes-associated metabolic inflammation. Importantly, interventions including low-BCAA diets, caloric restriction, exercise, activators of BCAA catabolism, PPARγ agonists, berberine, ginsenoside Rb1, mulberry leaf and twig extracts, probiotics, and other gut microbiota-targeted strategies have shown potential to modulate BCAA metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and alleviate metabolic inflammation. Therefore, BCAA metabolism may serve as a critical link connecting metabolic dysregulation in diabetes with macrophage immunometabolic reprogramming and chronic inflammatory responses.

Diabetic wounds, particularly diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), afflict over 15 million patients annually. These wounds are notoriously refractory to healing, prone to infection, and associated with high rates of amputation and mortality, posing a severe burden on healthcare systems worldwide. The impaired healing trajectory stems from a complex pathophysiology involving neuropathy, angiopathy, and immune dysfunction in the hyperglycemic milieu, which renders conventional passive dressings inadequate. Although extensive research has been devoted to developing advanced dressings loaded with various bioactive agents, the majority of these efforts remain confined to optimizing single-material platforms or isolated functional enhancements, lacking a comprehensive and globally integrated design theory that addresses the multi-stage, multi-target pathological features of diabetic wound healing. To address this gap, this review proposes and systematically articulates a tripartite design paradigm-namely, \"pathology-timing matching, multimodal bioactivity synergy, and smart microenvironment responsiveness\"-which serves as the overarching analytical framework throughout the manuscript. Within this framework, we comprehensively survey current diverse material platforms, such as hydrogels, polymer-based composites, and nanocomposites, alongside a broad spectrum of bioactive factors, including active compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and placental-derived biologics. Importantly, we depart from conventional encyclopedic enumeration by shifting our focus to elucidate how distinct material-biofactor combinations exert spatiotemporal synergistic effects across specific healing phases, such as inflammation regulation, angiogenesis, and infection control.

Current clinical management relies primarily on lifestyle interventions, with few targeted pharmacotherapies available, highlighting the urgent need for deeper mechanistic understanding and innovative treatments. A growing body of research highlights the critical role of intestinal homeostasis in the development and progression of MAFLD. Modern studies refer to the bidirectional communication between the gut and liver via the biliary tract, portal vein, and systemic circulation as the \"gut-liver axis.\" This structural connection makes the liver more susceptible to damage from gut-derived microbes, metabolites, endotoxins, and inflammatory mediators, positioning the liver as a key target organ exposed to the intestinal microenvironment. For instance: LPS (endotoxin) a component of Gram-negative bacteria, activates the TLR4 signaling pathway, triggering NF-κB and promoting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. This amplifies inflammation and compromises the intestinal barrier, allowing bacteria and their products to enter the liver via the portal vein and induce liver injury. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs, e.g., butyrate), produced by the fermentation of dietary fiber, inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) and activate G-protein-coupled receptors (e.g., GPR43, GPR109A). These mechanisms promote the differentiation of regulatory T cells (Treg) and the production of IgA antibodies, thereby suppressing inflammation and strengthening the mucosal barrier.Secondary bile acids (e.g., 3-oxoLCA), generated through microbial modification of bile acids, can regulate the Treg/Th17 balance via nuclear receptors such as the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Numerous studies have observed microbial dysbiosis in MAFLD, characterized by an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes.Emerging therapies targeting gut microbiota-including microbial metabolite modulators (HDCA, 4-HPAA) and multi-target traditional Chinese medicines (silymarin, Cornus officinalis glycosides)-demonstrate promising therapeutic potential when combined with interventions like probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42639094/","authors":["Xue L","Wang H","Shan B","Li C","Chen H","Yu C","Xia C","Zhang H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fcimb.2026.1740163","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42639015","name":"Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Botulinum Toxin in Treating Post-Acne Sequelae: A Critical Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Botulinum toxin has expanded beyond muscle paralysis to multi-target skin regulation, with growing interest in its use for post-acne erythema, atrophic scars, and enlarged pores.

The clinical evidence level is low to moderate for atrophic scars, with a focus on combination therapies (microneedling, lasers, radiofrequency, etc), but most do not quantify dermal penetration; thus, the specific contribution of botulinum toxin is uncertain. For post-acne erythema, only one small RCT and one case series exist, with low to moderate evidence. Enlarged pore studies rely on before-after or retrospective designs, with low to very low evidence. Computer modeling offers quantitative references for formulation conversion and parameter optimization, but its conclusions derive from glabellar or muscle-targeted data and require prospective validation for acne applications. In summary, botulinum toxin shows theoretical potential for post-acne sequelae, but the current evidence is weak. Clinical use should be limited to investigational settings or exploratory options after conventional treatment failure.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42639015/","authors":["Liao X","Wu J","Cheng H","Zheng H","Peng Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/CCID.S628704","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42638995","name":"Correlation between frailty status and prolonged length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit and development of a predictive model in elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The incidence of prolonged length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) is high among elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the value of frailty assessment for perioperative risk stratification in this population remains unclear.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42638995/","authors":["Chen Z","Zhang J","Zhuang W","Xing F","Zhou J","Sun D"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1905761","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42638987","name":"Preclinical pharmacological effects of epimedium-derived interventions in osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The genus Epimedium (Berberidaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine.

Persistent central hyperexcitability, maladaptive neuroplasticity within auditory-limbic networks, and cognitive-behavioral processes resembling those of primary insomnia have been proposed as key pathophysiological drivers; multimodal interventions targeting these nodes may therefore be beneficial. This review systematically integrates clinical, psychological, and neurobiological evidence supporting this bidirectional association and delineates the reciprocal relationship and pathological mechanisms linking tinnitus and sleep disturbance.

Beyond articular inflammation, persistent immune activation reshapes metabolic homeostasis through interconnected mechanisms involving chronic cytokine signaling, immune-cell metabolic reprogramming, gut microbiota dysbiosis and endocrine disruption. Key mediators, including TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17, promote insulin resistance, lipid abnormalities and endothelial dysfunction, while Th17/Treg imbalance, neutrophil activation and microbial metabolite alterations further amplify metabolic injury.

Here, we investigated the role of microglial Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in TBI-induced neuroinflammation and evaluated the therapeutic effect of the TLR7-targeting compound Enpatoran (M5049). Analysis of public single-cell transcriptomic datasets showed that TLR7 is preferentially expressed in microglia among resident brain cells. In the controlled cortical impact (CCI) mouse TBI model, TBI increased TLR7 expression in microglia and elevated the abundance of cleaved-TLR7 in the peri-contusional cortex. Knockdown of the asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) attenuated TLR7 cleavage and downstream signaling in cultured microglia. Deletion of AEP decreased cleaved-TLR7 and inflammatory marker expression in TBI mice, indicating an AEP-mediated proteolytic processing of TLR7 and suggesting TLR7's involvement in TBI inflammation. Global TLR7 deletion in mice failed to reduce TBI-induced inflammation and was accompanied by marked TLR8 upregulation. In contrast, inducible microglia-specific TLR7 deletion in mice attenuated CD86, TNF-α, and IL-1β expression without a pronounced TLR8 upregulation. The TLR7 inhibitor M5049 suppressed TLR7 agonist-induced inflammation in cultured microglia without inhibiting mouse TLR8. In TBI mice, treatment with M5049 at 0.1, 0.3, and 3 mg/kg all significantly reduced TBI-induced IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression. Pharmacological tests further showed that M5049 is effective in suppressing TBI-induced microglial activation and inflammatory cytokine secretion in wild-type mice but lost this efficacy in TLR7 knockout mice. Therefore, M5049's anti-inflammatory action relies on the presence of TLR7. Additionally, M5049 was not able to rescue glutamate- and H 2 O 2 -induced cell death in HT22 mouse hippocampus neuronal cells, or broadly suppress the examined peripheral immune transcriptional program. These findings identify microglial TLR7 as an important player in TBI-induced neuroinflammation and support a predominantly TLR7-dependent anti-inflammatory effect of M5049.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637929/","authors":["Du YT","Ma XL","Gao SH","Wang YX","Liu Y","Feng XM","Fan C","Chen HZ","Song MK"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 24","doi":"10.1038/s41401-026-01915-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42637906","name":"A microenvironment-responsive microsphere-PLGA-PEG-PLGA hydrogel for sustained and coordinated co-delivery of celecoxib and ropivacaine in osteoarthritis therapy.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"In this study, celecoxib (CXB) microspheres (CM) and ropivacaine (RPV) microspheres (RM) were prepared respectively.

The results demonstrated that CYPS is a neutral pyranose-type polysaccharide containing both α- and β-glycosidic linkages with a random coil conformation.

CYPS significantly improved glucose uptake and increased the activity of hexokinase and pyruvate kinase in dexamethasone-induced insulin-resistant 3 T3-L1 adipocytes. Moreover, CYPS treatment markedly reduced whole-larvae glucose levels, ameliorated dyslipidemia, and improved the activities of hexokinase and pyruvate kinase to support glucose metabolism. CYPS also reduced oxidative stress by increasing glutathione peroxidase activity and decreasing malondialdehyde levels. Mechanistically, CYPS enhanced the expression of PI3K, Akt, AMPK, and IRS1 in diabetic zebrafish and dexamethasone-treated insulin-resistant cells - key factors for insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, energy balance, and downstream cellular functions.

These findings strongly suggest that polydisperse CYPS significantly improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetic zebrafish by targeting AMPK-PI3K/Akt pathway and could be a promising candidate to be explored further as a functional therapeutic food for T2DM management.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637318/","authors":["Liu X","Ahmed A","Zheng H","Wang F","Fan B","Wang Q"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Oct 31","doi":"10.1016/j.foodres.2026.120064","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42637312","name":"Apolipoprotein B and colorectal cancer risk: Toward actionable risk stratification.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637312/","authors":["Dong J","Jiang Y","Song J","Xu Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1016/j.jacl.2026.03.011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42637310","name":"Remnant cholesterol and diabetic kidney disease phenotypes: The importance of albuminuria-stratified interpretation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637310/","authors":["Huang Y","Wang H","Guo L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1016/j.jacl.2026.04.011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42637284","name":"Letter to the editor regarding \"severe maternal morbidity and obstetrical outcomes by twin chorionicity and amnionicity\".","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637284/","authors":["Zhou Z","Dong X","Ma K"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Sep","doi":"10.1016/j.ajogmf.2026.102070","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42637263","name":"Multidimensional nutritional and body-composition phenotypes and their associations with prevalent anaemia and metabolic abnormalities in CKD: protocol for an EHR-based retrospective baseline cross-sectional study with a prospective measurement extension.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently accompanied by nutritional imbalance, inflammation and metabolic disturbance.

Although nanomedicine holds immense promise for site specific intervention, conventional design paradigms leveraging tumor mimicking enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effects or non-specific inflammation targeting fundamentally fail in the structurally distinct, enzyme rich microenvironment of the inflamed pancreas. This Review establishes a necessary paradigm shift, arguing that pancreatitis nanomedicines must transcend mere material novelty to be rationally engineered based on disease stage specific pathobiology. We systematically map critical biological nodes, including acinar cell calcium overload, premature digestive enzyme activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, innate immune amplification, endothelial leakage, and pancreatic stellate cell fibrogenesis, onto controllable nanoscale design variables, such as size, morphology, surface chemistry, mechanical stiffness, degradability, catalytic kinetics, and biomimetic identity. Furthermore, we dissect the unique physiological delivery barriers obstructing pancreatic transport, emphasizing tissue edema, elevated interstitial fluid pressure, fibrotic matrix remodeling, and enzyme mediated nano-bio interface remodeling. Leading polymeric, lipid, organosilica, catalytic nanozyme, and biomimetic nanoplatforms are critically evaluated regarding target engagement, translational pharmacodynamic readouts, therapeutic windows, safety, clearance pathways, and scalability. Finally, we outline a rigorous translational blueprint, tackling key hurdles including cell-resolved biodistribution, human plasma corona dynamics, proteolytic stability, quantitative pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships, potency assays, chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC), and safe-by-design strategies. By seamlessly coupling material identity with pancreatic pathobiology and clinically meaningful endpoints, this conceptual framework seeks to accelerate the transition of pancreatitis nanomedicine from empirical delivery systems to mechanism-guided translational pharmacology.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42637060/","authors":["Wu X","Meng J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 24","doi":"10.1016/j.ijpharm.2026.127344","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42636963","name":"Improved oral bioavailability of dihydromyricetin using β-cyclodextrin-grafted chitosan/tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate nano-delivery system: preparation, characterization, in-vitro evaluation and pharmacokinetics.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The low oral bioavailability of Dihydromyricetin(DMY), resulting from its instability and poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, limits its pharmaceutical applications. In order to enhance the oral bioavailability of DMY, a DMY@CD-CS/TPGS nano-delivery system was successfully prepared using β-cyclodextrin grafted with chitosan (CD-CS) and Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol Succinate(TPGS). The DMY@CD-CS/TPGS-NPs have a uniform particle size distribution and good stability. In vitro release studies demonstrated that the NPs exhibited a sustained-release profile under acidic conditions. In vivo and in vitro tests showed that the NPs could promote drug uptake and internalization in Caco-2 cells through multiple endocytic pathways, and disrupt epithelial tight junctions, thereby increasing paracellular absorption. Additionally, it exhibits excellent mucosal adhesion, thereby prolonging drug retention time. The intestinal segment distribution and unidirectional perfusion experiment further demonstrated that the NPs enhanced drug uptake in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, and increased both the absorption rate constants and the apparent permeability coefficients. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that DMY@CD-CS/TPGS-NPs significantly enhanced the oral absorption of DMY, increasing the Cmax, AUC 0-t , and t 1/2 by 7.12-fold, 1.25-fold, and 14.26-fold, respectively.

Although PEGylation is widely employed to facilitate mucus penetration, it often masks bacterial-binding motifs, creating a long-standing dilemma between efficient mucus traversal and effective pathogen targeting. Herein, we develop an infection-responsive nanoplatform (BPPC) that dynamically resolves this conflict through programmable surface remodeling. The BPPC consists of a phenylboronic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-chlorin e6 (PBA-PEG-Ce6) conjugate armored with Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) via acid-labile boronate ester bonds. The BSP/PEG dual-hydrophilic corona enables rapid diffusion across mucus barriers and efficient access to deep infection sites. Upon exposure to the mildly acidic infectious microenvironment, BSP is selectively shed, exposing latent PBA ligands for high-affinity bacterial anchoring. This infection-triggered transformation enhances local retention on multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA) and enables potent resistance-independent bacterial eradication through Ce6-mediated photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the released mannose-rich BSP acts as a bioactive immunomodulator that suppresses TLR4/NF-κB signaling and promotes macrophage polarization toward a pro-reparative M2 phenotype, thereby facilitating inflammation resolution. In murine models of MDR-PA-induced keratitis and pneumonia, BPPC achieved robust bacterial clearance, mitigated excessive inflammation, prevented fibrotic remodeling, and restored tissue homeostasis. By seamlessly integrating mucus-penetrating delivery, infection-activated pathogen sterilization, and host immune reprogramming, BPPC provides a versatile host-pathogen bidirectional strategy for managing refractory mucosal infections.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42636889/","authors":["Wu X","Ye T","Wang H","Zheng J","Cao W","Liu A","Liu C","Wang Y","Miao M","Pang X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 27","doi":"10.1016/j.jconrel.2026.115294","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.243Z"},{"id":"pmid:42636836","name":"SHR-A2102, a nectin-4 directed antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with pretreated advanced solid tumours: a multicentre, single-arm, phase 1 trial.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"SHR-A2102 is a new antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a fully human nectin-4-directed monoclonal antibody bound to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a cleavable linker.

Among the most frequent skin cancer entities, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ranks second (~20%) after basal cell carcinoma (~77%). In early stages, a complete surgical removal of the affected tissue is carried out as standard therapy. To treat advanced and metastatic cancers, targeted therapies with small molecule inhibitors are gaining increasing attention. Small molecules are a heterogeneous group of protein regulators, which are produced by chemical synthesis or fermentation. The majority of them belong to the group of receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKIs), which specifically bind to certain RTKs and directly influence the respective signaling pathway. Knowledge of characteristic molecular alterations in certain cancer entities, such as SCC, can help identify tumor-specific substances for targeted therapies. Most frequently, altered genes in SCC include TP53, NOTCH, EGFR, and CCND1. For example, the gene CCND1, which codes for cyclin D1 protein, is upregulated in nearly half of SCC cases and promotes proliferation of affected cells. A treatment with the small molecule 5'-nitroindirubin-monoxime (INO) leads to inhibition of cyclin D1 and thus inhibition of proliferation. As a component of Danggui Longhui Wan, a traditional Chinese medicine, indirubins are used to treat chronic diseases and have been shown to inhibit inflammatory reactions. Indirubins are pharmacologically relevant small molecules with proapoptotic and antiproliferative activity. In this review, we discuss the current literature on indirubin-based small molecules in cancer treatment. A special focus is on the molecular biology of squamous cell carcinomas, their alterations, and how these are rendered susceptible to indirubin-based small molecule inhibitors. The potential molecular mechanisms of the efficacy of indirubins in killing SCC cells will be discussed as well.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34657/7358","authors":["Schäfer, Mirijam","Semmler, Marie Luise","Bernhardt, Thoralf","Fischer, Tobias","Kakkassery, Vinodh","Ramer, Robert","Hein, Martin","Bekeschus, Sander","Langer, Peter","Hinz, Burkhard","Emmert, Steffen","Boeckmann, Lars"],"tags":["610","indirubins","small molecules","squamous cell carcinoma"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.34657/7358","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19833855","name":"Gut Microbiome Modulation Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Principles","source":"datacite","abstract":"MicrobiomeDB identifies gut microbiome alterations in myasthenia gravis patients (PMID:35458209).

Conventional approaches, including data mining and network pharmacology, are insufficient for achieving deep integration between classical TCM theory and modern scientific research. In addition, direct question-answering using general-purpose artificial intelligence large language models is limited by inadequate adaptation to TCM theoretical frameworks and susceptibility to reasoning hallucinations. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop intelligent analytical methods aligned with the holistic principles of TCM. Objective: To establish a multi-expert intelligent agent framework integrating classical TCM theory with modern life sciences, thereby enabling systematic and interpretable mechanistic analysis of TCM compound formulas, with Guizhi Decoction serving as a representative validation case. Methods: The DeepTCM1.0 framework was constructed based on the general-purpose large language model DeepSeek V3.2. It adopts a three-tier collaborative architecture and a three-round iterative quality-control workflow, simulating the collaborative analytical process of 11 interdisciplinary intelligent agents. The framework was applied to the mechanistic interpretation of Guizhi Decoction from the dual perspectives of classical traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern scientific research. Framework performance was comprehensively evaluated through double-blind five-dimensional scoring, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) reliability testing, Mann-Whitney U tests, and effect size analysis. The evaluation employed four independent large language models as evaluators, each conducting five rounds of repeated scoring on five anonymized reports, resulting in a total of 100 independent scoring assessments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2608.18103","authors":["Duan, Wenxin","Wang, Hanwei","Peng, Zhongying","Lu, Zhonghua","An, Jiayi","Song, Fan","Liang, Yong"],"tags":["Computation and Language (cs.CL)","Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)","FOS: Computer and information sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2608.18103","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20283509","name":"Issue 15 | Faculty of Regenerative Traditional Chinese Medicine - Systems Thinking, Evidence Review, and Integrative Regenerative Health","source":"datacite","abstract":"Archival deposit of the International Virtual University of Regenerative Health (IVURH) Newsletter, Foundational Series, Issue 15, originally issued on 8 October 2009.

Modern neuroimaging technologies including fMRI, EEG and PET have captured its full dynamic physiological chain: local needle micro-perturbation triggers instantaneous nerve activation, propagates across whole-brain networks, and sustains long-term neural network reorganization after needle removal, providing objective proof of acupuncture efficacy. Nevertheless, existing explanatory frameworks only describe superficial neural physiological reactions and fail to resolve three core theoretical puzzles: the topological origin of acupoints as network hubs, the mechanism through which localized stimulation drives systemic self-repair of the human physiological network, and the physical logic behind differentiated therapeutic effects generated by varying needling techniques and depths. Rooted in the PFUSRC system’s Ψ-Ξ dual-end anchoring and ontology-projection stratification theories, combined with philological restoration of the Ling Shu·Nine Needles and Twelve Sources, this paper reconstructs the ontological mechanism of acupuncture and puts forward four core conclusions. First, therapeutic descriptions such as “soothing sinews and invigorating blood” were formed after the Ming Dynasty to summarize clinical outcomes, rather than the original mechanical explanatory vocabulary of the Huangdi Neijing. The three core verbs in ancient canonical texts—unblock, regulate, manage—all refer to restoring the body’s intrinsic operational order instead of constructing new transmission pathways. Second, acupoints are “confluences of reversal and compliance” within the Ψ-Ξ low-impedance conduction network, serving as multi-directional intersections for meridian signals. Modern anatomical research confirms acupoints feature denser mechanoreceptors and nerve terminals, with fascia forming continuous low-resistance conduction channels, consistent with the topological hub definition proposed herein. Third, the core therapeutic mechanism of acupuncture is delivering controlled Ξ-type micro-perturbation at topological convergence hubs to activate the body’s inherent Ψ-Ξ self-adaptive regulatory system, returning meridian conduction to steady-state order. The long-term neural network reorganization observed post-needling is the projection-layer manifestation of this self-repair process. Acupuncturists only act as perturbation triggers rather than primary agents of pathological repair. Fourth, acupuncture shares homologous intervention logic with modern neuromodulation therapies including vagus nerve stimulation, rTMS and DBS: both rely on precise micro-perturbation at regulatory hubs to activate endogenous homeostatic healing systems without destroying pathological tissue.

Although large language models (LLMs) can perform natural language understanding and information extraction, existing solutions often require specialized infrastructure, programming expertise, or fine-tuned domain-specific models, which limits their accessibility for researchers in specialized fields. This paper describes TCMIIES (Traditional Chinese Medicine Information Intelligent Extraction System), a browser-based, zero-installation platform that uses commercial LLM APIs to perform structured information extraction from academic literature. The system employs a schema-guided prompting framework with automatic system prompt generation, allowing researchers to define custom extraction schemas through a graphical interface without programming. TCMIIES features a pure front-end architecture that processes all information locally in the browser, supports five major LLM providers (DeepSeek, OpenAI, Qwen, Zhipu AI, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints), implements concurrent batch processing with automatic retry mechanisms, and provides intelligent field mapping for Chinese academic databases including CNKI and Wanfang. Evaluation across multiple extraction scenarios in Traditional Chinese Medicine research shows structured output compliance rates exceeding 94\\% and extraction accuracy approaching but below expert-level agreement ($κ=0.82$ as reference). The system offers a flexible, privacy-preserving, and cost-effective solution for domain researchers who need to process literature at scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2605.07507","authors":["Zhao, Hanqing"],"tags":["Computation and Language (cs.CL)","Information Retrieval (cs.IR)","FOS: Computer and information sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2605.07507","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21766999","name":"Derivation, Steady-State Analysis and Mathematical Self-Consistency of the Essence-Qi-Spirit Dynamic Equations《精气神方程组的推导、稳态分析与数理自洽性 —— 三元生命数理论核心数学框架》","source":"datacite","abstract":"Based on the three fundamental axioms of the ternary steady-state theory—closed-loop, scale, and bottom-boundary axioms—this study constructs a coupled dynamic system of essence, qi, and spirit to realize the standardized mathematical reconstruction of the traditional Chinese life theory. Three dimensionless state variables corresponding to life substance structure, energy metabolism, and information regulation are defined, and a one-to-one hierarchical mapping framework is established between the three core life dimensions and the ternary axiom parameters. Traditional Chinese medicine logical mechanisms including \"essence generates qi, qi generates spirit, and spirit governs essence and qi\" are strictly transformed into a first-order coupled ordinary differential system with a bottom-boundary step operator. Under healthy and safe boundary constraints, the unique steady-state analytical solutions of the system are completely derived. A three-dimensional Jacobian matrix is constructed for linearization, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of the life steady state are proposed through eigenvalue analysis. By algebraic degradation deduction under different working conditions, this study verifies the complete mathematical self-consistency between the dynamic equations and the ternary axiom system, proving that the simultaneous establishment of the three axioms serves as the necessary and sufficient condition for the long-term ordered survival of life systems. Furthermore, the phase-space state deviation trajectories are mapped to typical TCM syndrome types such as essence deficiency, qi stagnation, qi counterflow, and spirit disorder, establishing a unified quantitative analysis paradigm connecting traditional life cognition with modern non-equilibrium thermodynamics and dynamic system theory. All derivation processes in this paper are parameter-free, reversible, and reproducible. The proposed life-specific dynamic equations can be degenerated from the universal ternary reaction-diffusion equations under life-specific boundary constraints, achieving multi-scale theoretical unification spanning microcosmic, life, macroscopic, and cosmic systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21766999","authors":["Yang, Guojun"],"tags":["ternary life mathematical theory; essence-qi-spirit dynamic equations; closed-loop integrity index; scale stress; physical bottom boundary; Lyapunov steady-state stability; autopoietic system; mathematical quantification of traditional Chinese medicine"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21766999","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20847031","name":"A Network Pharmacology and Bioinformatics Study on Four Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas Against Cervical Cancer","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20847031","authors":["Guo, Xin","Huang, Yue","Feng, Yaqian","Guo, Qi","Wang, Xiaoxue","Sun, Jingfen","Shang, Haixia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20847031","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20847032","name":"A Network Pharmacology and Bioinformatics Study on Four Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas Against Cervical Cancer","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20847032","authors":["Guo, Xin","Huang, Yue","Feng, Yaqian","Guo, Qi","Wang, Xiaoxue","Sun, Jingfen","Shang, Haixia"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20847032","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20700510","name":"COSMETIC FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE AS A NON-INVASIVE ALTERNATIVE TO SKIN AGEING: A REVIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Introduction: Skin ageing is a multifactorial biological process with a documented impact on quality of life and psychological well-being.

This release introduces further terminology standardization to better capture nuanced clinical distinctions within Traditional Chinese Medicine, including the disambiguation of overlapping psychiatric, pathogenic-factor, and related clinical concepts. It also improves semantic granularity, terminology consistency, and structural alignment of the node table. Description: This dataset provides the core topological structure of a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) efficacy knowledge graph. Unlike simple efficacy lists, this dataset constructs a full-semantic network integrating the hierarchical logic of \"Etiology-Disease-Pattern-Symptom-Efficacy-Herb\". The data are structured as a Property Graph model, containing standardized entities and their semantic relationships, extracted and normalized from authoritative TCM textbooks. It serves as the foundational graph structure for semantic reasoning and efficacy inference. Encoding Note: The edge file is UTF-8 compatible. The node file in this version may require GBK/GB18030-compatible decoding due to several special characters in entity names. Users who encounter decoding errors when reading the node file with Python or other tools are advised to specify encoding=\"gb18030\" or encoding=\"gbk\". Dataset Content: The dataset consists of two CSV files and one README file: Node File (node-v2-eng260502.csv): Contains 6,931 entities, including Herbs, Efficacies, Symptoms, Patterns, Diseases, and Etiologies. Edge File (edge-v2-eng260502.csv): Contains 16,708 semantic relationships, defining the logical connections (e.g., has_effect, treated_by, manifests_as, includes, transforms_to) between entities. README File (READMEv2.0.txt): Provides dataset documentation, version history, file descriptions, data dictionary, usage notes, limitations, license, and citation information. Key Features: Multi-layer Semantics: Covers the complete clinical reasoning chain from pathology to treatment. Standardized Terminology: Entities are normalized to ensure semantic consistency and improved clinical distinction. Graph-Ready: Formatted for direct import into graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Gephi) or network analysis libraries (e.g., NetworkX). Version 2.0 Updates: Systematic Disambiguation: Decoupled historically ambiguous mappings, such as distinguishing \"癫\" as Depressive psychosis, \"狂\" as Manic psychosis, and \"痫\" as Epilepsy. Pathogenic Factors: Standardized translations for exogenous factors, such as using \"pathogen\" instead of \"-evil\". Structural Normalization: Standardized San Jiao terminology and removed hyphenated compound organs for better NLP parsing. Clinical Refinement: Refined pathological states and specialized vocabulary in gynecology and urology.

People with Parkinson’s disease may experience slowed movement, tremor, muscle stiffness, poor balance, and difficulty walking. In multiple sclerosis, common problems include reduced walking ability, weakness, poor coordination, and loss of functional mobility. Because these symptoms can strongly affect daily life, there is continued interest in treatments that may protect or improve motor function. Animal and other experimental models are widely used to study these conditions and to test possible treatments before they are examined in clinical research. Different substances are used to reproduce important features of Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, including neuronal damage, inflammation, and demyelination. Motor ability in these models is usually measured through behavioral tests that examine balance, coordination, walking, muscle strength, and general movement. Plants and plant-based substances have been used in many traditional medical systems across different cultures. These include medicinal extracts, purified natural compounds, and multi-ingredient herbal preparations. Some of these treatments are connected with Persian medicine, Chinese medicine, or other traditional healing systems. However, this review is not limited to one specific tradition. Any plant-derived intervention that meets the eligibility criteria may be included, regardless of its cultural or geographical background. Previous experimental studies suggest that some plant-derived compounds may support nervous-system function through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, immunomodulatory, or neuroprotective effects. However, the available studies vary greatly in the disease model used, the type and dose of treatment, treatment duration, comparison group, and method used to assess motor performance. As a result, the overall evidence remains difficult to interpret. This systematic review and meta-analysis will bring together experimental studies that have investigated the effects of plant-derived compounds on motor dysfunction in models of Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The review will summarize study design, intervention characteristics, experimental models, and motor-related outcomes. When the available data are sufficiently similar, meta-analysis will be used to estimate the overall effect of the interventions. Additional analyses may be performed to explore differences between studies when enough information is available. The expected outcome is a clearer overview of the current evidence, including which plant-derived interventions appear most promising, how consistent the reported effects are, and where important research gaps remain. The findings may also help guide future preclinical studies and support better-designed translational research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/8e4yj","authors":["Esmail Karami","Valiallah Vahdaninia"],"tags":["Medical Sciences","Chemicals and Drugs","Neurosciences","Medicine and Health Sciences","Organic Chemicals"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/8e4yj","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21849970","name":"MODERN SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE","source":"datacite","abstract":"This review examines the modern scientific basis of medicinal plants used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), focusing on their bioactive constituents, pharmacological properties, safety aspects, and recent advances in scientific research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21849970","authors":["Makhmudkhonova, Naimakhon","Nurimova, Lola","Ilkhomova, Feruza"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21849970","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21849971","name":"MODERN SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE","source":"datacite","abstract":"This review examines the modern scientific basis of medicinal plants used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), focusing on their bioactive constituents, pharmacological properties, safety aspects, and recent advances in scientific research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21849971","authors":["Makhmudkhonova, Naimakhon","Nurimova, Lola","Ilkhomova, Feruza"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21849971","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:06.244Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20267908","name":"THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES OF CURCUMA LONGA (TURMERIC)","source":"datacite","abstract":"Curcuma longa (commonly known as turmeric) is one of the most widely used medicinal plants in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Unani medicine.

In this model, western medicine clinical indicators, TCM syndrome characteristics, historical treatment trajectories and patient stage feedback are integrated into the state-action-reward framework, and the dynamic update of combined treatment strategy is realized by using deep Q network. Based on anonymized clinical records and time-series follow-up data, a continuous treatment decision sample was constructed, and the index improvement ability, syndrome adjustment effect, synergy gain, Q value convergence, patient satisfaction and treatment interruption of the model were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that in the model group, the average fasting blood glucose decreased by 1.47 mmol/L, the average glycosylated hemoglobin decreased by 0.83%, the total syndrome score decreased by 9.2 points, the synergy gain index reached 0.34 in the sixth week, the average satisfaction score was 4.47, and the cumulative interruption rate in the sixth week was controlled at 14.4%.

Studies have revealed that infection‐related immune responses could trigger vasculitis. This study aims to investigate the relationship between infection‐related immune responses and AAV in Finns. Methods We used multiple Mendelian randomization (MR) methods and bioinformatics to examine how infection‐related immune responses affect AAV, also investigating the mediation effects of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and aging phenotypes. Bioinformatics data were from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Serum‐specific antibodies were from the U.K. Biobank. AAV subtypes were from FinnGen. Single‐cell sequencing data of immune cells were from the OneK1K database. NETs and aging phenotypes were from the genome‐wide association studies (GWAS). Results This study found a preliminary negative correlation between anti‐IgG of HSV1 and the risk of MPA (OR: 0.499, 95% CI: 0.361–0.692, p = 3.05E‐05). The SCeQTL analysis revealed that several genes in immune cells were linked to anti‐IgG of HSV1 and MPA, while mediation analysis highlighted DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration (DNAmAA) as a key mediator between gene expression and MPA. HLA‐C expression in CD8nc T cells ( Z = −2.921, p = 0.003, mediation effect = 82.2%) and MDC1 in dendritic cells ( Z = −3.310, p = 0.001, mediation effect = 81.5%) lowered the risk of MPA by downregulating DNAmAA. Conversely, MICA expression in NKR NK cells ( Z = 3.702, p < 0.001, mediation effect = 72.1%) was associated with an increased risk of MPA by upregulating DNAmAA. Conclusions This study demonstrated potential correlations between infection‐related immune responses and MPA. The SCeQTL analysis revealed that HLA‐C expression in CD8nc T cells, MDC1 in dendritic cells, and MICA expression in NKR cells were related to the risk of MPA. Furthermore, mediation analysis indicated that DNAmAA exerted a strong mediation effect on the relationship between gene expression and MPA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/genr/3406375","authors":["Naidan Zhang","Caixia Ji","Tong Lv","Xiao Bao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-24T05:09:02Z","doi":"10.1155/genr/3406375","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.153126","name":"Research Progress in Treating Tinnitus with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.153126","authors":["卓 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-28T02:58:07Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.153126","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00015-7","name":"Introduction","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00015-7","authors":["Jesse Li-ling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-25T07:44:09Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00015-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00001-7","name":"The gateway to future medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00001-7","authors":["Jesse Li-ling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-25T07:44:09Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00001-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152116","name":"Research on the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Children","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152116","authors":["云海 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-14T06:01:08Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152116","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.tl/2026.233","name":"Beneficial Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.tl/2026.233","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T12:25:55Z","doi":"10.47278/book.tl/2026.233","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.343Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2025.11.008","name":"Herbgenomics: Unraveling natural product biosynthesis in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2025.11.008","authors":["Jing Wang","Jingyuan Song","Shilin Chen","Zhichao Xu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-20T17:02:55Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2025.11.008","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.343Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.patrec.2026.01.012","name":"Nighttime flare removal via frequency decoupling","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2026.01.012","authors":["Minglong Xue","Aoxiang Ning","Jinhong He","Shuaibin Fan","Senming Zhong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-14T00:21:16Z","doi":"10.1016/j.patrec.2026.01.012","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.aohep.2025.102152","name":"Non-hepatic cancers in alcohol-related liver disease with insights for clinical management","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aohep.2025.102152","authors":["Weiyi Jiang","Qianqian Yin","Mengyi Hu","Tingsu Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-30T07:50:35Z","doi":"10.1016/j.aohep.2025.102152","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/0122150838449113260427100546","name":"Personalized Herb Recommendation in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Introduction: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) continues to gain global recognition for its personalized treatment options for chronic diseases. Accurate TCM recommendations are the foundation of effective prescription formulation; however, existing computational models still struggle to achieve this goal. These existing systems suffer from fundamental limitations, such as sparse coding of symptoms, inadequate semantic representation, and a lack of context modeling. Methods: To address these bottlenecks, we introduce HMHRec, a deep learning framework driven by multiple attention mechanisms and highway networks. First, patient symptom sets and herb sets are encoded as multi-hot vectors, which are then transformed into dense embeddings via a trainable matrix. The highway network controls information flow to enhance nonlinear feature representation, while the attention module parses complex co-occurrence patterns and hidden relationships between symptoms. Finally, the Top-K selection strategy sifts through the processed data to extract the most appropriate herbs. Results: We use two publicly available datasets, TCM1 and TCM2 to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of the framework and compare it with representative baseline models. Experimental results show that HMHRec consistently outperforms the baseline models. On the TCM1 dataset, the proposed model achieves a relative improvement of 7.53%, 7.65%, and 5.16% on the indicators F1-Score@5, F1-Score@10, and F1-Score@20, respectively. Similar improvements were observed on the TCM2 dataset, achieving 7.04%, 4.37%, and 4.12% improvements on the same metrics, respectively. Discussion: By seamlessly integrating the highway network with multiple attention mechanisms, the HMHRec model successfully bridges the semantic gap between a specific symptom and the corresponding herb. Both experiments and case studies highlight the practical value of the framework, which proves that it can provide data-driven and highly personalized herbal medicine recommendations for clinicians in real TCM practice. Conclusions: The HMHRec model can generate highly accurate and clinically meaningful herbal medicine recommendations, which effectively overcome the limitations of previous models. This advanced framework has great potential to become a powerful clinical decision support tool, which can help clinicians provide evidence-based and personalized TCM treatment plans.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0122150838449113260427100546","authors":["Leying Chen","Lifen Shi","Yu Gu","Cheng Yan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-21T06:43:32Z","doi":"10.2174/0122150838449113260427100546","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/a-2816-6649","name":"Basic and Clinical Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Insomnia after Stroke","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Poststroke insomnia (PSI) is a common complication after stroke, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown unique advantages in its treatment. This paper systematically reviews the basic and clinical research on TCM treatment of PSI at home and abroad in recent years. The results show that TCM therapy is effective, not only significantly relieving the clinical symptoms of PSI patients but also improving their quality of life. Its mechanism of action is complex, reflecting the overall regulatory characteristics of TCM, involving multilevel, multipathway, and multitarget synergistic effects. The core lies in regulating the neuro-endocrine-immune network, including regulating neurotransmitters, correcting functional disorders of the brain–gut axis, and improving cerebral hemodynamics. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive summary and conclusion of research progress in this field. In view of this, this study aims to deeply sort out the existing TCM treatment strategies, put forward forward-looking suggestions, and provide theoretical basis and practical reference for optimizing clinical decision-making and expanding treatment ideas.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2816-6649","authors":["Haoli Zhang","Qiangdong Yan","Xuewei Zhou","Songyang Zhang","Jing Peng","Runsheng Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T22:47:07Z","doi":"10.1055/a-2816-6649","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_2","name":"The Convergence of Modern Chinese and Western Medicine Before the Antibacterial Discussion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_2","authors":["Kuoli Pi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-11T09:21:34Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/a-2877-2934","name":"Clinical Application Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution Theory in the Prevention and Treatment of Pulmonary Nodules","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This study aimed to systematically review the current status of clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutional regulation in the management of pulmonary nodules, and to provide evidence-based references for integrative medicine prevention and treatment. Relevant literature from January 2020 to November 2025 was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data databases. After layered screening, 60 eligible articles were ultimately included for analysis. The predominant constitutional types among patients with pulmonary nodules were unbalanced constitutions, including qi deficiency, yang deficiency, qi stagnation, and phlegm–dampness. These unbalanced constitutions constitute the key intrinsic pathological basis for the occurrence, progression, and outcome of pulmonary nodules. Constitutional intervention is central to the principles of “preventing disease before its onset” and “preventing disease from progressing.” Constitutional identification is primarily performed using the Classification and Determination of TCM Constitutions Scale, combined with the four diagnostic methods of TCM, modern detection techniques, and microbiological indicators, to continuously refine the objective and standardized identification process. Interventions that adopt a model of “precise constitutional regulation plus general health guidance” have been integrated into the entire course of pulmonary nodule management and have formed a multidimensional outcome evaluation system. Constitutional regulation can achieve the goals of prevention, control, and rehabilitation by improving the “internal environment” of nodules. Future efforts should focus on enhancing the standardization of identification, precision of protocols, and normalization of pathways to promote their deep application and broader adoption.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2877-2934","authors":["Lijun Wang","Xuemei Ran","Dongdong Sun","Ya Gao","Yanli Zhao","Xin Wang","Junxia

The findings show both YTH and TCM share holistic worldviews. While YTH balances body ( ara ), mind/soul ( okan ), and spirit ( emi ), TCM centers on qi (气), yin-yang (阴阳), and Wu Xing (五行 five elements). Emerging trends include commercialization, knowledge casualization, integration with biomedical diagnostics, and participation in wellness markets. YTH and TCM illustrate the resilience and adaptability of indigenous medical systems. Comparative insights reveal opportunities for culturally grounded policy frameworks, collaborative research, and ethical globalization strategies that respect traditional knowledge while enriching contemporary healthcare pluralism.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000190","authors":["Ahmed Ahmed Olaitan","Asmawi Ibrahim","Ahmad Aizuddin Md Rami"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-07T03:00:52Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000190","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000124","name":"Application of multisensor fusion technology for online monitoring of traditional Chinese medicine extraction process: A case study of Xiaochaihu capsules","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Xiaochaihu capsules are a widely used traditional Chinese patent medicine. The extraction process, a critical step in their production, necessitates online monitoring to determine the levels of key indicators, thereby informing subsequent processing stages. Objective: The objective of this study was to establish online quantitative models for 6 key indicators (solid content, liquiritin, baicalin, wogonoside, glycyrrhizic acid, and saikosaponin B 2 ) during the extraction process of Xiaochaihu capsules. This approach aims to provide a technical foundation for enhanced process control and to serve as a methodological reference for the application of multisource information fusion in monitoring the extraction of multi-herb traditional Chinese medicine formulations. Methods: Online quantitative models were developed based on multiple sensors, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) to monitor 6 indicators during the extraction process of Xiaochaihu capsules. Different preprocessing methods for spectroscopic data were optimized, and data fusion strategies were integrated to improve the predictive performance of the online quantitative models. Results: The optimal modeling strategies for the 6 indicators were as follows: for solid content, a second-order polynomial model was established using the measurement results from 2 sensors (pH and conductivity), with a predictive coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) of 0.9821. For baicalin, the optimal model was developed using UV-Vis spectra pretreated with the first derivative (1stD), achieving a predictive R 2 of 0.9841. For wogonoside, modeling was also conducted after 1stD preprocessing of the UV-Vis spectra, yielding a predictive R 2 of 0.9929. For liquiritin, a high-level fusion strategy combining UV-based feature extraction via the random frog (RF) algorithm and NIR-based feature extraction via competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was used, achieving an R 2 of 0.9406 in the validation set. For glycyrrhizic acid, the optimal approach involved a combination of UV-CARS feature extraction and NIR-RF feature extraction, coupled with high-level data fusion, resulting in an R 2 of 0.9859 in the validation set. For saikosaponin B 2 , the optimal scheme utilized UV-RF feature extraction combined with NIR-CARS feature extraction and high-level fusion ( R 2 = 0.7702 in the validation set). Conclusion: The integration of process analytical technologies and data fusion strategies enabled the successful establishment of online quantitative models for 6 indicators during the extraction process of Xiaochaihu capsules. Overall, the established online quantitative models effectively captured and reflected the dynamic changes of these indicators throughout the extraction process.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000124","authors":["Feng Ding","Shaohua Wu","Xingchu Gong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-19T13:05:04Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000124","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152101","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Rib Fractures","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152101","authors":["子寒 马"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-09T07:02:29Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152101","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100838","name":"Fucoidan: Structure–activity relationships, molecular mechanisms, and nanotherapeutic applications with perspectives from Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100838","authors":["Mythileeswari Lakshmikanthan","Sakthivel Muthu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-16T16:36:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100838","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2026.06.009","name":"Huang Di and Huang Di’s Canon of Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2026.06.009","authors":["Yongxuan Liang","Yinghua Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-23T16:20:14Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcms.2026.06.009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.151053","name":"A Proven Case of Autoimmune Encephalitis Treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.151053","authors":["雪 华"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-19T08:38:39Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.151053","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.bioorg.2026.110095","name":"Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of C-28 carboxyl derivatives of Hederacoside C as anti-inflammatory agents for acute lung injury","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioorg.2026.110095","authors":["Fancheng Meng","Jia He","Huilan Li","Xiang Li","Zhifeng Li","Jiawei Zhang","Junmao Li","Yulin Feng","Jixiao Zhu","Yuanying Fang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-10T07:25:44Z","doi":"10.1016/j.bioorg.2026.110095","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000096","name":"Study on image detection and target recognition based on traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Chinese herbal pieces are an essential component of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: This study aims to enhance the recognition efficiency of Chinese herbal pieces using deep learning technology, while addressing the limitations of traditional manual classification methods in terms of both quality and efficiency. Methods: A comprehensive dataset containing 201 types of Chinese herbal pieces was established. Based on Real-time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR), we designed and integrated a Feature-focused Diffusion Network (FDN), resulting in an improved model termed RT-DETR-FDN. The proposed FDN includes a Feature-focus Module and a feature diffusion mechanism, enabling the model to capture more extensive feature information from Chinese herbal pieces and diffuse it across multiple detection scales. Results: Experimental results show that RT-DETR-FDN achieved a precision of 0.925, a recall of 0.943, and an mAP50–95 of 0.851. In addition, the model was compared with representative You Only Look Once series models commonly used in object detection. Compared with these models, RT-DETR-FDN achieved higher recognition accuracy while maintaining a lightweight architecture. Conclusion: This study integrates deep learning with traditional Chinese medicine, providing a more effective solution for the recognition of Chinese herbal pieces.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000096","authors":["Tianchi Mao","Xing Sun","Jiayin Zhu","An Liu","Yang Li","Jingang Ma","Cong Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-30T17:00:29Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000096","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10787-026-02260-z","name":"Role and therapeutic potential of icariin in metabolic diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10787-026-02260-z","authors":["Anni Song","Ran Wei","Yang Yang","Haoshuang Li","Fengyi Chen","Yutong Pang","Xiaotong Ma","Shijie Hao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-11T04:59:27Z","doi":"10.1007/s10787-026-02260-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/25723618.2026.2621599","name":"“Traditional Chinese Medicine + Chinese” Education Mode helps the Global Spread of Excellent Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture: Based on the Practical Experience of Thailand","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/25723618.2026.2621599","authors":["Du Haoge","Jianghua Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-07T13:18:28Z","doi":"10.1080/25723618.2026.2621599","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.003","name":"The macro, meso, and micro dimensions of Yin-Yang theory in traditional Chinese medicine: a three-level analysis of Yin and Yang","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.003","authors":["Ouyang Miao","Zhang Gedi","Yu Mengdan","Liu Hongning"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-11T23:47:21Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000174","name":"The Multifaceted Du (毒): Practitioners’ Understanding and Clinical Applications in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Du (毒) commonly denotes poison and toxicity, carrying a negative connotation of harm in modern Chinese. However, within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Du possesses more diverse connotations. Through the examination of historical scholar-physicians’ works and semi-structured interviews with modern TCM practitioners, this research argues that Du should be understood in a relational way rather than merely as an intrinsic property of substances. From medical practitioners’ perspective, Du emerges from the interaction between substances and the human body. Firstly, substances that induce strong and undesired bodily sensations can be categorised as Du , denoting both potency and potential harm. Secondly, Du has also been interpreted as Pian Xing (偏性 imbalanced qualities of materia medica), referring to medicine’s qi (气 property) and Wei (味 flavour). These qualities, determined through sensory perceptions such as taste and smell, are the source of both therapeutic efficacy and potential harm if misused. Thus, in this context, the concept of Du does not inherently carry positive or negative connotations. Thirdly, when practitioners use Du to denote harm, this harm is generated from dynamic interplay among medicines, formulas, practitioners and patients. The interaction between these factors determines whether medicines will cause harm, rather than any inherent quality of the medicines themselves. However, influenced by modern science, the focus has shifted to isolated toxic components, moving away from the holistic emphasis on the lived body’s experiences. This shift has also influenced practitioners’ clinical use of Du -possessing medicines, which are regarded as toxic medicines.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000174","authors":["Binli

Chinese medicine improves synaptic plasticity in Alzheimer’s disease: A review of experimental studies","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abnormal synaptic plasticity is an early pathological feature of Alzheimer disease (AD). Synaptic damage and dysfunction initiate neuronal degeneration and death, ultimately leading to cognitive impairment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can effectively ameliorate cognitive dysfunction through multitarget regulation of synaptic plasticity. This review summarizes the mechanisms by which TCM, including active components, single herbs, and classical formulas, modulates synaptic plasticity, offering new insights for future research and clinical applications. Relevant experimental studies published between 2020 and 2024 were retrieved from major databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the National Science and Technology Library, Wanfang Data, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, PubMed, SpringerLink, and Web of Science. Network pharmacology and bioinformatics approaches were used to predict the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of TCM on AD-related synaptic plasticity. In total, 15 TCM single herbs and 11 TCM formulas were identified as enhancing AD-related synaptic plasticity. Additionally, 15 active ingredients targeting synaptic plasticity in AD were retrieved from TCM databases over the past decade.

Recent randomized controlled trials have reported some effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM); however, whether various TCM methods have different effectiveness remains unclear. Objective: To comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and adverse events of TCM for patients with RPL and to explore whether various TCM methods have different effectiveness. Methods: Ten databases were searched up to May 27, 2024. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoB2 tool. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool. Pairwise and network analyses were conducted using Stata 18.0. Results: A total of 47 randomized controlled trials enrolling 6678 women with RPL were included. Pairwise analysis showed that use of TCM had a significantly lower miscarriage rate (RR 0.50 [95% CI 0.45, 0.55]), lower preterm birth rate (RR 0.81 [95% CI 0.67, 0.98), and lower adverse event rate (RR 0.46 [95% CI 0.37, 0.58]). Moreover, use of TCM was associated with a higher alive-fetus rate (RR 1.21 [95% CI 1.15, 1.26]), live-birth rate (RR 1.20 [95% CI 1.15, 1.25]), and full-term rate (RR 1.37 [95% CI 1.23, 1.53]) compared with nonuse of TCM. Network analysis demonstrated that Bushenshugan combined with conventional Western medicine was ranked the best for the reduction of miscarriage rate. Discussion: Use of TCM is more likely to improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce adverse events compared with nonuse of TCM in patients with RPL. Different TCM methods have differences in reducing the miscarriage rate. The Bushenshugan method might be a potential optimal TCM therapy, but more high-quality evidence is needed to further validate and evaluate the efficacy and safety.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000103","authors":["Zilin Long","Houyu Zhao","Fengqi Liu","Meng Zhang","Junchang Liu","Siyan Zhan","Feng Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-23T15:00:15Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000103","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.155291","name":"Research Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.155291","authors":["珂 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-27T09:04:57Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.155291","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/review1","name":"Review for \"Molecular Sensing Transforms Olfactory Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Critical Review\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/review1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-05T21:08:59Z","doi":"10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/review1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.01.027","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Ovarian Tumors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.01.027","authors":["Jianfang GONG","Mengling WEI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-03T10:36:37Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.01.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000182","name":"Historical Evolution and Future Trends of Traditional Chinese Medicine Education in Australia","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly recognized worldwide as a complementary and alternative medical system, valued for its empirical effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and safety. Australia became the first Western nation to regulate TCM practitioners under a national registration framework in 2012. This highlighted the critical role of TCM education in maintaining a qualified workforce and fostering evidence-based research. Currently, five higher education institutions in Australia offer TCM programs accredited by Ahpra. However, a number of public universities—such as University of Technology Sydney and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology—have discontinued their TCM programs due to financial constraints and declining enrollments. This decline in training capacity coincides with growing public demand for TCM services, particularly in chronic disease management and aged care, risking a future shortage of practitioners. Looking ahead, the role of training TCM professionals may increasingly fall to private colleges and institutes, which are not subject to the same external pressures and regulatory constraints as public universities. Meanwhile, an increasing proportion of female TCM practitioners represents a potential positive trend that may help mitigate the effects of a shrinking workforce. By tracing the historical evolution, regulatory milestones, and contemporary challenges of TCM education in Australia, this review aims to illuminate the broader trajectory of the TCM profession in a global context. Confronted with this potential crisis, enhanced integration with mainstream healthcare, policy support to improve practitioner remuneration, and innovative educational models to attract a new generation of students may benefit the development of TCM education.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000182","authors":["Qin LI","Ji CHEN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-02T07:00:15Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000182","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152068","name":"Research Progress on the Treatment of Hemifacial Spasm in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152068","authors":["淑慧 武"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23T07:56:05Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152068","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_68_25","name":"Bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine and Modern Science: The Gut-Zang-Fu Axis and its Scientific Advances","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) characterizes the human body through visceral systems (Zang-Fu organs), which are connected by functional and energetic relationships.

Interleukin (IL)-17 signaling promotes tumor progression and immune evasion. Kaempferol, a natural flavonol, has anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects, but its role in modulating IL-17 pathways in CRC is unclear. We used an immunocompetent MC38 xenograft model to evaluate kaempferol monotherapy (50/100 mg/kg), its combination with a PD-L1 inhibitor, and IL-17 overexpression. Tumor growth, immune infiltration, cytokines, and signaling pathways were assessed using immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and Western blotting. Kaempferol suppressed tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner and showed synergistic effects with PD-L1 inhibitors. It enhanced CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration, reduced IL-17A+ γδ T cells, and increased IFN-γ+ γδ T cells. Kaempferol also downregulated IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α, and IL-17A and upregulated IL-2 and interferon γ. Molecular analyses showed inhibition of IL-17A, PD-L1, STAT3, and NF-κB pathway activation. IL-17A overexpression reversed these effects, restoring inflammation, immune suppression, and tumor growth. Kaempferol inhibits CRC progression by targeting IL-17–mediated inflammation and improving antitumor immunity, especially when combined with PD-L1 inhibitors.

Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of TCM modernization is crucial for its evolution, revolution, drug discovery, and cancer therapy. This study provides an overview of the history, theory, characteristics, and evolution of TCM, highlighting its potential in cancer prevention and treatment. We propose a definition for TCM modernization, innovative Chinese medicine (ICM), and elucidate strategies to elevate TCM from a supporting role to a leading one.

In this study, we introduce the theory of TCM modernization following target identification and initial compound screening: ICM, defined by \"3 D\" elements: definite active ingredient composition and content, determined functional mechanism, and detection through evidence-based medicine. Overall, the \"3 D\" definition of ICM will establish a standard for ICM, accelerate TCM modernization, enhance drug discovery targeting cancer and various human diseases, and benefit patients worldwide.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1875-5364(26)61090-4","authors":["Hui Liu","Yunxiao Ge","Zigang Dong","Liu H","Ge Y","Dong Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb","doi":"10.1016/s1875-5364(26)61090-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.identj.2025.109349","name":"The Burden and Projections for 2036 of Periodontal Diseases in Asia From 1990 to 2021","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.identj.2025.109349","authors":["Huijing Li","Shuang Li","Xiang He","Min Liu","Jiawei Li","Ximei Zhang","Xiaojin Huang","Yuling Zuo","Yeke Wu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-26T07:34:33Z","doi":"10.1016/j.identj.2025.109349","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/a-2816-7440","name":"Research Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Hematological Damage","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Hematological damage is systemic lupus erythematosus is a common comorbidity, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that the core pathogenesis of this disease is deficiency and excess, and deficiency, toxicity, heat, and stasis run through the dynamic evolution process.

In terms of mechanism of action, it has been verified that it can play a role by regulating immune homeostasis, inhibiting inflammatory cascades, improving microcirculation, and improving metabolism and microecology.

This paper expounds the research progress of TCM in systemic lupus erythematosus with hematological damage from the perspectives of TCM theory and modern mechanism, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for clinical optimization of treatment plans.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2816-7440","authors":["Wenjie Dou","Junrong Chen","Zepeng Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T22:47:07Z","doi":"10.1055/a-2816-7440","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100797","name":"Traditional Chinese medicines as adjuvants in chemotherapy: pharmacological and clinical evidence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100797","authors":["Deepika Bairagee","Sunita Panchawat","G N Darwhekar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-15T06:42:44Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100797","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100749","name":"Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms of Morus species: Part-specific insights from traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100749","authors":["Akash Bhati","Hemanth Kumar Boyina","Navneet Sharma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-27T00:13:41Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2025.100749","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100764","name":"Pharmacological insights into traditional Chinese medicine for heart failure: Targeting cardiac energy metabolism and mitochondrial function","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100764","authors":["Yokesh Shanmugam","Mahaswetha Kannuchamy","Lokeshvar Ravikumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23T16:58:23Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100764","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000105","name":"Digital intelligent evidence-based medicine towards evidence-informed decision-making in Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000105","authors":["Honghao Lai","Long Ge","Janne Estill"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-19T13:01:53Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000105","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/09581596.2026.2681251","name":"Development and prioritization of ERIC-informed implementation strategies for Traditional Chinese Medicine guidelines: a two-phase mixed methods study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09581596.2026.2681251","authors":["Su Li","Wing Hung Lai","Tao Ruan","Yusheng Deng","Hui Li","Runsheng Xie"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-10T07:53:27Z","doi":"10.1080/09581596.2026.2681251","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.379Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000178","name":"A Study of the Cross-cultural Communication of Traditional Chinese Medicine in France","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This paper divides the centuries-long communication of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in France into three progressive stages: the first stage (17th to 19th centuries), characterized by academic recognition and knowledge transmission; the second stage (mid-19th century to late 20th century), focusing on clinical verification and school-based innovation; and the third stage (late 20th century to the present), marked by cultural integration and pluralistic coexistence within systems. The introduction of TCM in France is a process of cross-cultural adaptation and coexistence driven by specific health needs in French society, such as chronic disease management and complementary therapies. The French medical community and sociocultural context have not only verified and interpreted TCM through an empirical scientific perspective, but also realized creative localization by developing indigenous schools such as electroacupuncture and auricular acupuncture. Eventually, through institutional measures including national certification, terminology standardization, and networked healthcare services, TCM has been deeply integrated into France’s medical system and social context, forming a stable ecosystem of cross-cultural adaptation and pluralistic coexistence. The French experience, which takes aligning with local health needs as the starting point, stimulating localized cultural innovation as the core, and promoting systematic integration into local systems as the support, presents a picture of traditional medicine serving modern society, the improvement of global health, as well as mutual learning and symbiosis among different civilizations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000178","authors":["Yulin WU","Wen

and artificial intelligence strategies for investigating solid- and fluid-pressure mechanobiology in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is shaped by a mechanically abnormal tumor microenvironment (TME) in which dysregulated mechanotransduction promotes malignant progression and therapeutic resistance. Two coupled but distinct pressure states dominate this landscape: solid stress and interstitial fluid pressure (IFP). Solid stress arises from constrained tumor growth, stromal contractility, and extracellular matrix remodeling. By contrast, IFP reflects hydrostatic pressure within the interstitial fluid compartment and is elevated by vascular leakage, impaired drainage, and low tissue hydraulic conductivity. Together, these abnormalities compress vessels, disrupt transport, and activate mechanotransduction programs that reinforce malignant adaptation. Here we integrate solid stress and IFP within a unified pressure-state framework for PDAC. We examine how these forces shape tumor progression, drug transport, and therapeutic response. We then evaluate spheroid, organoid, hydrogel, bioprinted, and microfluidic models according to what they truly control, directly measure, or merely infer. This distinction separates pressure-relevant systems from pressure-reconstructing models. We also discuss stromal normalization and the emerging role of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in model engineering and patient stratification. Current computational approaches can optimize mechanically defined models and infer pressure-related tumor states from multimodal data. However, they still rely largely on surrogates rather than direct measurements of solid stress or IFP. Our framework defines the biomechanical validation required to develop clinically predictive models of PDAC mechanobiology.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10555-026-10366-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10555-026-10366-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1111/1541-4337.70622","name":"Pesticide Residues, Gut Microbiota, and Gastrointestinal Outcomes: A Scoping Review of Human Evidence.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1541-4337.70622","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1111/1541-4337.70622","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/dmrr.70216","name":"Active Free Radical Cold Atmosphere Plasma Promotes Healing of Diabetes Foot Ulcer: Mechanism and Challenge.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/dmrr.70216","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/dmrr.70216","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10072-026-09271-2","name":"A NOTCH3 p.Gly1105Cys variant in CADASIL: clinical characterization and an updated overview of exon 20 variants.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-026-09271-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10072-026-09271-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.critrevonc.2026.105544","name":"Lactate metabolism in the metastatic cascade: Microenvironmental remodeling, epigenetic reprogramming, and therapeutic strategies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.critrevonc.2026.105544","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.critrevonc.2026.105544","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108361","name":"A multi-component intervention enhances intestinal urate excretion and improves metabolic and immune homeostasis in diet-induced hyperuricemia.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108361","authors":["Mingyuan Fan","Jiushu Yuan","Hongyan Xie","Qian Li","Dingyi Lu","Sai Zhang","Qiangyan Wang","Gang Wang","Chunguang Xie","Hong Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108361","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.toxlet.2026.113182","name":"Hepatotoxicity of OBS: A review of the emerging PFOS substitute.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2026.113182","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.toxlet.2026.113182","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jpba.2026.117691","name":"A process analytical strategy for monitoring toxicity-related alkaloid transformation in complex herbal decoctions using mid-infrared spectroscopy and an electronic tongue.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Complex natural product processing involves dynamic compositional changes, yet rapid and standardized process characterization remains difficult when relying mainly on off-line laboratory analysis and sensory-based empirical judgment. To address this analytical need, Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), the processed lateral root of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx., and Si Ni Tang, a classical Chinese herbal formula containing Fuzi, were used as representative single-herb and formula decoction systems. An analytical framework was established in which high-performance liquid chromatography provided reference values for calibration and validation, the electronic tongue provided objective and reproducible digital responses related to sensory-based empirical evaluation, and mid-infrared spectroscopy supplied rapid molecular information on toxicity-related constituents. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to quantify six Aconitum alkaloids in the decoction samples, while electronic tongue responses and mid-infrared spectra were collected in parallel and modeled using chemometric methods. The decoction process showed a clear time-dependent conversion of diester diterpenoid alkaloids into the corresponding less toxic monoester diterpenoid alkaloids. Based on the chromatographic reference values, mid-infrared models provided reliable quantitative prediction of the target alkaloids, and the electronic tongue differentiated samples collected at different decoction time points according to their overall multi-sensor response patterns, thereby providing complementary information for rapid characterization of process states. Rather than replacing high-performance liquid chromatography for endpoint confirmation, this framework retains high-performance liquid chromatography as the reference method and extends evaluation from off-line endpoint testing to rapid process-oriented characterization of toxicity-related alkaloid transformation, providing a complementary analytical route for safety-related quality control of complex herbal decoctions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpba.2026.117691","authors":["Fan J","Yu C","Liu G","Wang L","Zhang N","Zhai H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jpba.2026.117691","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/bmc.70540","name":"Mechanism of Compound Xinyi Nasal Drops in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis Through STAT3/IL-17A/NF-κB Signaling Pathway Based on Network Pharmacology and Experimental Verification.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bmc.70540","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/bmc.70540","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/gme.0000000000002762","name":"The association between extreme weather events and depression risk in postmenopausal women: cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/gme.0000000000002762","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/gme.0000000000002762","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00114-026-02144-w","name":"Integrated network pharmacology, transcriptomics and proteomics unveils the mechanisms of Forsythiae Fructus against acute lung injury.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening respiratory disorder with high mortality.

The chemical profile of FF was characterized by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and an LPS-induced ALI rat model was established for pharmacodynamic evaluation. The optimal dose group was selected for multi-omics analysis. A total of 95 compounds were identified, and integrated analysis revealed that 11 core components mediated anti-ALI effects by modulating 347 targets across 25 signaling pathways. Molecular docking and Western blot validation demonstrated that these targets are primarily associated with the PI3K-Akt/mTOR, MAPK/ERK/p-38, JAK-STAT, and PPARγ signaling pathways.

Geometric Tension Propulsion (Anti-Gravity) Space is not an empty void; it is the Honeycomb Aether grid. Gravity is simply the tension of this grid. By utilizing The 〔HA〕Universal Operator to shift the phase of local space by 291.15 degrees, we can manipulate the geometric tension. This allows for propulsion and lift without traditional fuel, effectively debugging the limitations of Newtonian mass. 3.

This systematic review critically evaluated the physiological, clinical, and safety effects of heated footbaths and distal lower-limb warm-water immersion in humans, while separately examining how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interpretations may be discussed without equating traditional concepts with biomedical mechanisms. On 12 August 2026, structured searches of MEDLINE Complete/EBSCOhost, Cochrane CENTRAL, and LILACS, supplemented by ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), identified 477 records. After conservative removal of 106 duplicates and explicit documentation of one CENTRAL record shown in the interface but absent from the export file, 370 unique records were screened, and 34 reports underwent in-depth assessment. Twenty-five human studies/interventions contributed to the efficacy and physiology synthesis, and two reports/series were retained for safety. The most consistent findings were increased peripheral temperature, vasodilation, increased blood flow, and acute hemodynamic changes. Subjective sleep quality and selected pain outcomes showed favorable signals, but certainty was predominantly low; objective sleep measures did not show uniform benefit. In diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, possible symptomatic benefit coexists with clinically relevant thermal injury risk. Robust clinical evidence was not identified for detoxification, systemic immune stimulation, or therapeutic lymphatic-drainage claims. Heated footbaths therefore have measurable physiological effects, but clinical efficacy is indication-dependent and should be interpreted according to the certainty and directness of the evidence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21909660","authors":["Salibi, André Luiz"],"tags":["footh bath","warm-water","Immersion","thermotherapy","Hydrotherapy"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21909660","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21110650","name":"1947314628-ui/acupuncture-vertigo-clinicaltrials-registry: Initial release: Acupuncture-Vertigo ClinicalTrials.gov Registry Analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Data and Code Release Acupuncture Clinical Trial Registration for Vertigo: A Registry-Based Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Text Mining (ClinicalTrials.gov, 2007–2026) Contents 8 main figures + 4 supplementary figures Supplementary tables (S1-S4) Executable Python code pipeline Processed datasets Manuscript (DOCX) Data Source ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, search date: July 1, 2026 How to reproduce Run Code/00_full_fetch.py to fetch data from ClinicalTrials.gov API Run Code/02_preprocess_fixed.py to classify and extract entities Run Code/00_figures_final_fixed.py to regenerate all figures Authors Qin Zhang, Tong Yin, Yueping Huang, Chuyun Chen Funding Guangzhou TCM Intelligent Scientific Research Platform, National Demonstration Project for the Inheritance and Innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Grant No. ZJXZ2026005)","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21110650","authors":["1947314628-ui"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21110650","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21110651","name":"1947314628-ui/acupuncture-vertigo-clinicaltrials-registry: Initial release: Acupuncture-Vertigo ClinicalTrials.gov Registry Analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Data and Code Release Acupuncture Clinical Trial Registration for Vertigo: A Registry-Based Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Text Mining (ClinicalTrials.gov, 2007–2026) Contents 8 main figures + 4 supplementary figures Supplementary tables (S1-S4) Executable Python code pipeline Processed datasets Manuscript (DOCX) Data Source ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, search date: July 1, 2026 How to reproduce Run Code/00_full_fetch.py to fetch data from ClinicalTrials.gov API Run Code/02_preprocess_fixed.py to classify and extract entities Run Code/00_figures_final_fixed.py to regenerate all figures Authors Qin Zhang, Tong Yin, Yueping Huang, Chuyun Chen Funding Guangzhou TCM Intelligent Scientific Research Platform, National Demonstration Project for the Inheritance and Innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Grant No. ZJXZ2026005)","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21110651","authors":["1947314628-ui"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21110651","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8634679","name":"Acupuncture as adjunctive therapy for autism spectrum disorder in children: a systematic review-meta-analysis and critical re-evaluation of the field","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 1 in 100 individuals globally, characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, and restricted, repetitive behavioral patterns. No pharmacotherapy has demonstrated consistent efficacy for core ASD symptoms. Acupuncture, a central modality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is increasingly used as an adjunctive intervention for pediatric ASD; however, prior meta-analyses have been substantially limited by methodological shortcomings including violation of effect-size independence assumptions, absence of prediction intervals, inadequate publication bias assessment, exclusive reliance on Chinese-language databases, and failure to apply contemporary Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) standards. Objective To critically re-evaluate and comprehensively update the evidence base for acupuncture as adjunctive therapy for pediatric ASD through the largest synthesis to date, with robust variance estimation (RVE), prediction intervals, GRADE certainty assessment, and systematic moderator analyses. Methods Thirteen electronic databases (Cochrane Library, MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database [AMED], Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL], PsycARTICLES, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], Wanfang Data, VIP Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database [CBM], JAIRO, CiNii, and KoreaMed) were searched from inception through May 20, 2026, without language restrictions.

This is a global prevalent health problem and usually causes chronic musculoskeletal pain, which also contributes to negative health outcomes such as depression and decreased quality of life. Although there is a growing body of literature on the management and prevention strategies for CMD, these are largely influenced by unique cultural and health beliefs in different countries. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive review on CMD and its management in the Asian Chinese population, particularly with its focus on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine for managing one’s health. The objective of this scoping review is to describe the current evidence that explores the different management strategies adopted by the Asian Chinese population with chronic musculoskeletal discomfort. This scoping review will follow the JBI methodological guideline and PRISMA-ScR guideline. The literature on chronic musculoskeletal discomfort and its management among Asian Chinese adults will be included in the review. Papers should be published within a 10-year period (2016 to 2026) to reflect the updated management strategies. Only English and Chinese publications will be considered. Six databases will be used, including CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest One Psychology, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Two independent reviewers will conduct the title and abstract screening, and the full text review. The data will be extracted onto a template developed by the authors, and analyzed using qualitative inductive content analysis. Ethics application is not needed for this review. The review may be presented at a conference and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This scoping review aims to systematically map the existing evidence on chronic musculoskeletal discomfort (CMD) and its management within the Asian Chinese population. By synthesizing findings across a range of study designs and settings, the review will provide a comprehensive overview of the types of CMD experienced, the diversity of management strategies employed—including pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and traditional Chinese medicine approaches—and the reported effectiveness of these strategies. The anticipated findings will highlight the interplay between cultural beliefs, health-seeking behaviours, and treatment choices, which are particularly salient in Asian Chinese contexts.

Existing automatic AQA frameworks for physical therapy typically rely on skeletal data captured from a single viewpoint, which is inefficient for TCM techniques such as acupuncture or Tuina that involve dense hand self-occlusion and complex hand-object interactions. To address these challenges, we propose CME-AQA, a cross-view, multimodal vision-based assessment framework that integrates visual-pose fusion to enhance understanding of environmental context and leverages both first-person and third-person videos during training to improve inference robustness. We collected two dual-view datasets, TCM-AQA61-A (Acupuncture) and TCM-AQA61-T (Tuina), each containing synchronized first-person and third-person recordings of 61 subjects with expert annotations. Experimental results show that our approach achieves superior or comparable mean performance against competitive baselines, achieving over 10% relative improvement in weighted F1 over the best competing method on key rating tasks such as Needle Depth and Quick Needle Insertion, while also reducing mean absolute error in quantitative measures such as insertion time and manipulation frequency. Testing on a CPR dataset further demonstrates comparable performance on several posture-based criteria, suggesting applicability to related structured simulated clinical skill assessments where participant motion is central to evaluation. Overall, CME-AQA enhances assessment accuracy for structured TCM rehabilitation training and facilitates more convenient and effective training-oriented skill evaluation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2606.28104","authors":["Zhang, Francis Xiatian","Yao, Hao","Chen, Shengxuan","Zhu, Hong","Jia, Hongxiao","Zheng, Sisi","Shum, Hubert P.

Methods Following the JBI scoping review methodology and the PRISMA-ScR statement, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and CBM databases from inception to June 19-20, 2026. Studies on non-pharmacological pain management for mechanically ventilated ICU patients, including original studies, systematic reviews, and guidelines, were included. Studies with pharmacological analgesia as the primary intervention were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and performed thematic analysis. Results Nineteen studies were included, consisting of 8 systematic reviews/meta-analyses (42.1%), 4 randomized controlled trials (21.1%), 3 quasi-experimental/prospective cohort studies (15.8%), 1 observational study (5.3%), and 3 reviews/evidence summaries (15.8%). Eight themes were identified: pain assessment tools, music therapy, comfort care/Comfort Theory, eCASH/bundle strategies, procedural pain, early mobilization, patient experience/communication, and traditional Chinese medicine/complementary therapies. High-quality evidence was mainly concentrated in pain assessment tools, music therapy, and eCASH/bundle strategies. Evidence quality for procedural pain and traditional Chinese medicine/complementary therapies was mixed. Research on psychological support, family participation, and environmental optimization was lacking. Most existing studies focused on single-dimensional interventions; a systematic four-dimensional (physical, psychospiritual, social, environmental) non-pharmacological pain management program based on the Comfort Theory has not yet been developed. Conclusions Research on non-pharmacological pain management for mechanically ventilated ICU patients is diverse in themes but uneven in evidence distribution, with a lack of high-quality evidence in the psychological, social, and environmental dimensions. Future research could focus on developing a four-dimensional integrated non-pharmacological pain management program based on the Comfort Theory.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/v4q59","authors":["Li, Yamei"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Life Sciences","Social and Behavioral Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/v4q59","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.380Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.32375195","name":"Gut microbiota dysbiosis and osteoporosis: pathogenesis and novel intervention strategies","source":"datacite","abstract":"Osteoporosis represents a major global public health challenge, with current pharmacological treatment often limited by substantial side effects.

Although traditional treatments such as corticosteroids and vasodilators remain the primary therapeutic approaches, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing techniques has garnered increasing attention as a complementary method to enhance treatment outcomes and improve patient well-being. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing encompasses a variety of non-pharmacological interventions, including auricular acupressure, ear massage, moxibustion, and gua sha. These interventions are based on holistic principles and aim to restore bodily balance and promote self-healing. Although an increasing body of literature has explored the application of these techniques in the management of sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), significant heterogeneity remains regarding the types of interventions, methods of implementation, study designs, and evaluation metrics. This heterogeneity hinders the synthesis of evidence and the development of standardized clinical guidelines. To date, no systematic review has comprehensively synthesized the existing evidence regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing techniques for sensorineural hearing loss. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a systematic review following an established methodological framework. We will conduct a systematic search of nine Chinese and English databases from the inception of each database through February 1, 2026, to identify relevant studies, extract key data elements, and analyze the distribution of evidence across intervention types, application models, study designs, and evaluation indicators. The findings of this review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, identify gaps in the evidence, and inform future high-quality research and clinical practice recommendations.

Its pathogenesis involves multiple factors, including biomechanical changes, hormonal fluctuations, and weakened core muscle function. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it falls under the categories of \"postpartum body pain\" and \"low back pain,\" with the core pathogenesis being postpartum \"deficiency and blood stasis,\" leading to kidney qi deficiency and malnourishment of the lumbar region (pain from lack of nourishment), or blood stasis obstruction combined with external pathogenic invasion (pain from obstruction). The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) revised its definition of pain in 2020, emphasizing that pain is \"an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage,\" and explicitly states that pain is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors, and that pain is distinct from nociception. In recent years, the number of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews on non-pharmacological therapies for postpartum low back pain has increased globally. However, existing research faces several problems: ① Evidence is scattered and lacks systematic integration; ② Inconsistent classification criteria for interventions hinder cross-comparison; ③ High heterogeneity in outcome measures limits meta-analysis; ④ Variable methodological quality affects the reliability of conclusions; ⑤ Unclear research gaps make future directions ambiguous. Therefore, a study that systematically organizes and visually presents the current research landscape in this field is urgently needed. This study aims to employ an evidence mapping methodology to comprehensively search, systematically evaluate, and integrate RCTs and systematic reviews/meta-analyses on non-pharmacological therapies for postpartum low back pain. The goal is to visualize and analyze the research panorama in this field, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current evidence, and provide macro-level, intuitive decision support for clinical practice and scientific research. Objectives & Research Questions Primary Objective: To construct an evidence map of non-pharmacological therapies for postpartum low back pain, systematically describing the types of interventions, study designs, primary outcome measures, and study quality. Specific Research Questions: What non-pharmacological therapies are currently used for postpartum low back pain? What are the main study outcomes for these therapies (e.g., pain scores, functional improvement)? In which countries/regions or populations are studies predominantly concentrated?

UC is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease with a complex pathogenesis. BTWD, a classic traditional Chinese herbal formula composed of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bai Tou Weng), Coptis chinensis (Huang Lian), Phellodendron chinense (Huang Bai), and Fraxinus rhynchophylla (Qin Pi), has been extensively used in clinical practice and preclinical research for treating UC. However, existing animal studies report findings on diverse outcome measures with inconsistent effect sizes for the same indicators. This scattered evidence, coupled with uncertainties regarding its precise mechanisms of action, creates ambiguity and apparent contradiction regarding how BTWD ameliorates intestinal inflammation. Preclinical research is crucial for deepening the understanding of drug efficacy and validating experimental hypotheses. Systematic review and meta-analysis of animal studies serve as powerful tools to synthesize fragmented evidence, enhance statistical power, and provide a more robust estimate of intervention effects. This study will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies investigating BTWD in UC rodent models. Primary Purpose: The primary purpose is to quantitatively synthesize existing evidence from animal experiments to determine the overall effect of BTWD on key UC-related outcomes. This will provide a comprehensive assessment of its effectiveness in improving disease severity, histopathological damage, and modulating relevant biomarkers in preclinical settings. Specific Objectives: To assess the pooled effect of BTWD on clinical disease activity, primarily measured by the Disease Activity Index (DAI), in UC rodent models. To evaluate the pooled effect of BTWD on colonic tissue damage through histopathological scoring. To synthesize evidence on the impact of BTWD on secondary outcomes including body weight change, colon length, and levels of key inflammatory biomarkers (e.g., in serum or colon tissue, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MPO). To explore potential sources of heterogeneity across studies (e.g., differences in rodent species, UC modeling methods, BTWD dosage, treatment duration) through subgroup analysis and meta-regression where feasible. To critically appraise the methodological quality and risk of bias in the included studies using a tailored tool for animal research. Methodology Overview: We will perform a comprehensive literature search across major English (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) and Chinese (WanFang, VIP, CNKI, CBM) databases from their inception to January 31, 2026. Eligible studies must be published animal experiments employing randomized design, using UC rodent models, and comparing a treatment group receiving oral gavage of the standard BTWD formula (only the four specified herbs) against a control group. Studies must report both DAI and histopathological score data. Review articles, in vitro studies, clinical trials, and studies combining BTWD with other therapies will be excluded. Two independent reviewers will screen studies, extract data (including study characteristics, animal details, intervention protocols, and all relevant outcomes), and assess risk of bias. Discrepancies will be resolved by consensus or consultation with a third reviewer. Statistical meta-analysis will be conducted using software such as RevMan or Stata, employing random-effects models to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) or weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals for continuous outcomes. Heterogeneity will be quantified using the I² statistic.

IPF is a chronic, progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, associated with worsening lung function, reduced exercise capacity, impaired quality of life, and high mortality. Although antifibrotic therapies such as pirfenidone and nintedanib can slow disease progression, residual symptoms, adverse events, and unmet needs lead many patients to seek complementary approaches. CHM is commonly used as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in clinical practice, but the efficacy, safety, and certainty of evidence remain unclear.

Conventional approaches, including data mining and network pharmacology, are insufficient for achieving deep integration between classical TCM theory and modern scientific research. In addition, direct question-answering using general-purpose artificial intelligence large language models is limited by inadequate adaptation to TCM theoretical frameworks and susceptibility to reasoning hallucinations. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop intelligent analytical methods aligned with the holistic principles of TCM. Objective To establish a multi-expert intelligent agent framework integrating classical TCM theory with modern life sciences, thereby enabling systematic and interpretable mechanistic analysis of TCM compound formulas, with Guizhi Decoction serving as a representative validation case. Methods The DeepTCM1.0 framework was constructed based on the general-purpose large language model DeepSeek V3.2. It adopts a three-tier collaborative architecture and a three-round iterative quality-control workflow, simulating the collaborative analytical process of 11 interdisciplinary intelligent agents. The framework was applied to the mechanistic interpretation of Guizhi Decoction from the dual perspectives of classical traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern scientific research. Framework performance was comprehensively evaluated through double-blind five-dimensional scoring, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) reliability testing, Mann-Whitney U tests, and effect size analysis. The evaluation employed four independent large language models as evaluators, each conducting five rounds of repeated scoring on five anonymized reports, resulting in a total of 100 independent scoring assessments. Results The framework systematically elucidated the relationship between the classical traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis of “disharmony between ying and wei” and modern neuro-immune-metabolic regulatory networks. It further proposed three innovative mechanistic hypotheses, addressing several longstanding controversies, including the identification of pharmacodynamic material foundations and the linkage between macroscopic syndrome manifestations and microscopic molecular mechanisms. Evaluation results demonstrated robust reliability and validity. Intra-rater reliability was favorable, with ICC values for individual evaluators ranging from 0.789 to 0.867, while inter-rater reliability was excellent (Krippendorff’s α = 0.868).

The atlas combines extended aging hallmarks, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome proxies, nutraceutical targets, and food-as-medicine targets. Rather than assuming that all modules should form one universal model, the framework compares panels as alternative representations for each disease task. Across 1,916 DrugBank small molecules, five chronic disease tasks, and an exploratory extension to 23 disease categories, the panels carried useful within-benchmark ranking signal. The nutraceutical and nutraceutical-extension panel (NUT+NUTX, 117 modules) achieved a mean recall@20 of 0.494 across five diseases, close to 0.524 for the full atlas. The full atlas was the strictly highest observed configuration in only 9 of 23 disease categories. Different panels were most useful for different tasks, including extended aging hallmarks for type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis, food-as-medicine for depression, and nutraceutical modules for the atherosclerosis/hyperlipidemia task.The framework also evaluates newly proposed gene sets for incremental value and redundancy. In an exploratory LLM-assisted workflow, two refined candidates showed nominal positive increments, but neither remained significant after correction for multiple testing. Performance decreased under target-family-separated evaluation and approached chance in leave-one-disease-out evaluation. SteeraMed Bench lays the coordinate and evaluation foundation on which future patient-specific dynamic models and causal intervention simulations can be built.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202608.0998.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.20944/preprints202608.0998.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.426Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202605.1927.v1","name":"Climate

pressure thresholds associated with cognitive impairment across diverse regional and ethnic populations","source":"preprints","abstract":"Background As dementia prevalence rises globally, it is critical to find preventions that target modifiable risk factors like blood pressure. Pulse pressure (PP), a marker of arterial stiffness, contributes independently to cognitive impairment. Yet, clinically interpretable thresholds for PP for cognitive decline remain undefined. We examined the independent association between PP and domain-specific cognitive trajectories and identified PP thresholds associated with greater cognitive decline across ethnically diverse regional populations. Methods Data were harmonized across three longitudinal cohorts (54,878 participants with up to 20 years follow-ups and 266,144 observations). Linear mixed-effects models identified a nonlinear association between PP and cognition (memory, orientation, and executive function), whereby cognitive decline accelerated after around 50 mmHg of pulse pressure, despite controlling for mean arterial pressure and dementia risk factors. Stratification based on PP thresholds (Low: PP Findings Non-linear associations indicated that memory decline was particularly noticeable for pulse pressure ≥60 mmHg. Compared with normal pulse pressure, ≥60 mmHg was associated with worse memory performance (pooled β −0.062 SD; 95% CI −0.107 to −0.016) and greater memory decline with age (−0.026 SD/year; −0.036 to −0.015), including among normotensive individuals. Findings were consistent across diverse regional cohorts (UK, US and China), racial groups, age strata and sexes. Interpretation Pulse pressure over 60 mmHg is associated with elevated cognitive risk, independent of blood pressure measures, even among normotensive individuals. These findings support pulse pressure thresholds as clinically interpretable and complementary markers of cognitive risk. Funding Alzheimer’s Society, NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, NIHR BioResource, Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Addenbrookes Charitable Trust, Natural Science Foundation of China Evidence before this study Blood pressure is recognized as a key modifiable target for dementia. However, previous findings indicate that systolic blood pressure alone may not fully capture vascular aging contributions to cognitive decline. Pulse pressure - the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure - provides insights into the pulsatile component beyond conventional indices. Prior studies have reported associations between pulse pressure and cognitive impairment across individuals, but few have examined domain-specific impairment (e.g., memory) across diverse ethnoregional populations over extended periods of ageing within individuals. Evidence from arterial stiffness and pulsatile biology suggests that cognitive risk may increase non-linearly, accelerating only beyond specific blood pressure levels. Defining target thresholds is crucial for guiding public health and clinical interventions, yet to date, no clinically interpretable pulse pressure threshold has been established. Added value of this study We demonstrate for the first time that clinically interpretable pulse pressure thresholds predict cognitive impairment independent of traditional blood pressure measures. By harmonizing three ethnically diverse regional populations (United Kingdom, United States and China), this study confirmed an overall association between higher pulse pressure and poorer cognitive function. We further showed that this association is non-linear, was most evident in memory function, and was independent of traditional blood pressure measures and established modifiable dementia risk factors. Pulse pressure ≥60 mmHg was associated with worse memory performance and greater memory decline, including among normotensive individuals, with consistent findings across observed across multiple cohorts, racial groups (White, Black and Asian), age strata (mid-life and late-life) and both sexes. Furthermore, participants with pulse pressure ≥50 mmHg had greater memory decline even among normotensive individuals. Implications of all the available evidence Our findings support the use of pulse pressure thresholds above 60 mmHg as a clinically interpretable and complementary marker to systolic blood pressure for assessing dementia risk across diverse populations, even among normotensive individuals. Timely monitoring pulse pressure above 50 mmHg may facilitate early identification of individuals at risk for cognitive decline.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.05.26.26354116","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.05.26.26354116","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.20.26345632","name":"Predicting PANSS symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders using speech only: an international, multi-centre, retrospective, computational study across multiple languages","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.20.26345632","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.02.20.26345632","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.427Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-10115031/v1","name":"Adonertinib (FHND9041) versus Afatinib as First-line Treatment for Advanced Non-small-cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Sensitive Mutation (FHND9041-Ⅲ-01): A Multi-centre, Open-label, Randomised Phase 3 Trial","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-10115031/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-10115031/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.03.25.26349312","name":"Human Genetic Analysis Reveals Circulating Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Level as a Protective Factor in Sepsis","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.25.26349312","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.03.25.26349312","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.427Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.08.01.26359453","name":"Predicting Unplanned Hospital Readmissions in People with Multiple Long-Term Conditions","source":"preprints","abstract":"The prevalence of multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) is associated with increased healthcare utilisation and an elevated risk of unplanned 30-day hospital readmission. Existing prediction tools predominantly focus on single-disease cohorts and fail to capture the clinical heterogeneity, polypharmacy, and care complexity characteristic of MLTC populations. Using data from 99,207 UK Biobank (UKBB) participants with MLTCs ( ≥ 2 long-term conditions), we developed Self-HR, a two-stage self-supervised learning framework that learns transferable patient representations from longitudinal clinical data encompassing hospital admission diagnoses, primary care prescriptions, long-term condition histories, and demographic factors. Self-HR achieved an AUROC of 0.92 and AUPRC of 0.75 in the UKBB discovery cohort, outperforming all supervised baselines — including XGBoost, Random Forest, and fully supervised neural networks — across both overall and minority-class metrics. Performance was sustained upon external validation in 79,224 multimorbid individuals from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD; AUROC 0.86, F1 score 0.67 for the readmitted class). Self-HR demonstrated superior robustness to partial outcome labelling and class imbalance, maintaining an F1 score of 0.62 for readmitted patients when trained on only 50% labelled data, compared with 0.28 for the best supervised comparator. Ablation analyses identified incident admission diagnoses as the strongest predictive feature, followed by primary care prescriptions and long-term condition history. Beyond binary classification, Self-HR generalised to regression tasks — predicting incident and emergency admission durations — through fine-tuning alone, achieving the lowest MAE and RMSE across all tasks without repeat pretraining. These findings support Self-HR as a data-efficient and generalisable framework for readmission risk prediction in multimorbid populations, with potential to inform proactive discharge planning and targeted post-discharge care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.08.01.26359453","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.08.01.26359453","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-9934836/v1","name":"Combined STN-DBS and acupuncture modulate cortico striatal oscillations and glymphatic function in anxious Parkinsonian rats","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9934836/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9934836/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.01.21.700788","name":"Ensemble Machine Learning Approaches Predict Survival in Lower-Grade Glioma Based on Glycosphingolipid Gene Expression and Metabolic Modelling","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.01.21.700788","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.01.21.700788","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.427Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.05.07.26352666","name":"Non-attendance in Telephone versus In-person Secondary Care Consultations: Retrospective cohort Study of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Northwest London","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.05.07.26352666","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.05.07.26352666","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.08.06.26357818","name":"Parent-mediated interventions versus usual care in children with autism: A systematic review with meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.08.06.26357818","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.08.06.26357818","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.12.705480","name":"Baicalin ameliorates behavioral and physiological deficits in Gtf2i -duplication mice and modulates synaptic activity in 7q11.23 Duplication Syndrome patient-derived neurons","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.12.705480","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.02.12.705480","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.09.704790","name":"Loss of FANCM impairs primordial germ cell differentiation in vitro","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.09.704790","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.02.09.704790","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-9645588/v1","name":"Exploring Women’s Views and Experiences of Language Barriers in High Income Maternity Care Settings: A Qualitative Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9645588/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9645588/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.01.27.26344728","name":"Transdiagnostic Reductions in Glymphatic-Related Perivascular Diffusion Across Psychiatric Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis","source":"preprints","abstract":"ABSTRACT Background Impaired glymphatic clearance, the perivascular system supporting cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid exchange, has been implicated in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) provides a non-invasive proxy for glymphatic-related processes, yet its role in psychiatric conditions remains uncertain. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, PsycNET, and Embase for articles published up to September 25th, 2025. The protocol was pre-registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251155430). Studies reporting diffusion-based indices of glymphatic function in psychiatric populations were included. Standardised mean differences (Hedges’ g ) were calculated for patient-control comparisons and pooled using random-effects models. Heterogeneity, methodological moderators, and risk of bias were assessed. Results Thirty-two studies met inclusion criteria for the systematic review, covering major psychiatric groups including mood disorders, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, psychosis, sleep disorders, and substance-related conditions. Twenty-four studies (n = 2,855; 1,503 patients, 1,352 controls) reporting bilateral DTI-ALPS measures were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled random-effects model revealed a significant transdiagnostic reduction in DTI-ALPS index in psychiatric populations compared with healthy controls (Hedges’ g = –0.78, 95% CI –1.01 to –0.55, p Conclusions Bilateral DTI-ALPS index showed a robust but heterogeneous reduction across psychiatric disorders. Together, these results suggest that impairments of perivascular diffusion, as indexed by DTI-ALPS, may reflect a shared transdiagnostic vulnerability across psychiatric conditions. Harmonised imaging pipelines and multimodal validation are needed to clarify the biological and clinical significance of these findings. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The search for reliable transdiagnostic biomarkers remains a central challenge in contemporary psychiatry, where heterogeneous symptom profiles often obscure shared biological pathways. The glymphatic system, a glia-dependent network regulating cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid exchange, has recently been proposed as a key mechanism linking vascular, immune, and metabolic pathways to mental illness. Diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) offers a non-invasive proxy for glymphatic function, yet its specificity and clinical relevance remain debated. This systematic review and meta-analysis provide, to our knowledge, the first quantitative synthesis of DTI-ALPS findings across psychiatric disorders, critically evaluating methodological assumptions and evidence for shared pathophysiological mechanisms. By clarifying the strengths and limitations of diffusion-based glymphatic imaging, this work establishes a mechanistic framework for future translational, interventional, and biomarker research in psychiatry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.01.27.26344728","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.01.27.26344728","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.03.19.26348853","name":"Living hi : GBMSM narratives of pleasure, risk, and everyday hi-fun (chemsex) navigation in Thailand","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.19.26348853","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.64898/2026.03.19.26348853","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:07.381Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64898/2026.02.11.705457","name":"Cell phenotypes in the biomedical literature: a systematic analysis and text mining corpus","source":"preprints","abstract":"The variety of cell phenotypes identified by single-cell technologies is rapidly expanding, yet this knowledge is dispersed across the scientific literature and incompletely represented in structured resources.

We evaluated DermFM-Zero across 20 benchmarks spanning zero-shot diagnosis and multimodal retrieval, achieving state-of-the-art performance without taskspecific adaptation. We further evaluated its zero-shot capabilities in three multinational reader studies involving over 1,100 clinicians. In primary care settings, AI assistance enabled general practitioners to nearly double their differential diagnostic accuracy across 98 skin conditions. In specialist settings, the model significantly outperformed board-certified dermatologists in multimodal skin cancer assessment. In collaborative workflows, AI assistance enabled non-experts to surpass unassisted experts while improving management appropriateness. Finally, we show that DermFM-Zero’s latent representations are interpretable: sparse autoencoders unsupervisedly disentangle clinically meaningful concepts that outperform predefined-vocabulary approaches and enable targeted suppression of artifact-induced biases, enhancing robustness without retraining.

Previous studies have confirmed the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine constitution (TCMC) and various physical diseases and psychological disorders. However, there is limited research examining the relationship between TCMC and depression in adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 5955 adolescents aged 14 to 24 years from a vocational technical school in China. The participants completed self-report questionnaires. The TCMC questionnaire was used to assess participants’ constitutions based on 9 different types: balanced constitution, Qi-stagnation constitution, blood-stasis constitution, Qi-deficiency constitution, Yin-deficiency constitution (YIDC), Yang-deficiency constitution (YADC), Phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC), Damp-heat constitution (DHC) and Inherited special constitution (ISC). Depression was accessed using the Self-rating depression scale (SDS). After accounting for confounding factors, balanced constitution were significantly associated with a lower prevalence of depression (odds ratio [OR] = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72–0.94; P = .004). Meanwhile, Qi-deficiency constitution (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.39–2.03; P <.001) and Qi-stagnation constitution (OR = 2.53, 95% CI: 2.00–3.23; P <.001) were independently associated with a higher prevalence of depression. Moreover, the associations were also identified by the propensity score matching method. Our findings suggest a significant relationship between TCMC and depression in adolescents. Further research is needed to better understand whether these constitutional factors may contribute to or influence the development of depression during adolescence. Integrating Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire into clinical assessments may provide valuable insights for identifying at-risk individuals and guiding personalized treatments for depression in adolescents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000047310","authors":["Yizhao Hao","Jiahui Yin","Zhe Huang","Yueqi Zhang","Yuanyuan Liu","Jingli Zhang","Xingwei Fang","Zhongli Lan","Bin Luo","Min Lu","Zhangjin Zhang","Jun Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-23T18:01:33Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000047310","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00011-x","name":"The core question of genetics","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00011-x","authors":["Jesse Li-ling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-25T07:44:09Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00011-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00002-9","name":"Mysteries surrounding the 22q11.2 deletion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00002-9","authors":["Jesse Li-ling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-25T07:44:09Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00002-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100828","name":"The effectiveness of Bushen Yizhi Decoction for vascular dementia patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100828","authors":["Huiyu Wang","Xin An","Gong Yu","Bugao Zhou","Qiao Chen","Xiongfeng Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-27T23:57:35Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100828","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000183","name":"Value Analysis of Modern and Contemporary Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription Records","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract As important documentary sources that record the diagnostic and treatment concepts, as well as the experience of prescription medication by medical practitioners, the handwritten prescription records from modern and contemporary traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners are valuable original materials that carry the cultural heritage of TCM.

In the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, HUA falls into the categories of “latent disease” or “hidden pathogen,” and is considered a manifestation of underlying deficiency with superficial excess. Animal models serve as crucial bridges for exploring pathological mechanisms underlying various diseases. Rodent models are primarily used in HUA research. Animal models of HUA based on TCM syndromes integrate the holistic perspective of TCM with the pathological changes in Western medicine, inducing syndromes through simulated pathogenic factors and employing modern medical methods for chemical or physical interventions. These models better embody the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, thereby providing a scientific tool for HUA research. This study aimed to systematically summarize and analyze the current research progress in HUA animal models that integrate disease and syndrome, further exploring their application prospects in revealing the pathological mechanisms of HUA, assessing therapeutic effects, and guiding clinical practice. The ultimate goal was to provide new insights and directions for the prevention and treatment of HUA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_50_25","authors":["Qian Deng","Zi-Ning Peng","Fan-Yu Meng","Nian Liu","Wei-Tian Yan","Jiang-Yun Peng","Hang-Yu Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-19T09:00:21Z","doi":"10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_50_25","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.151022","name":"Research Progress on the Treatment of Pulmonary Epidemic Diseases with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.151022","authors":["靖雯 冯"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-07T07:47:39Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.151022","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152112","name":"Research Progress on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Staging Treatment of Pediatric Asthma","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152112","authors":["雪一 姜"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-13T07:02:19Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152112","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules31071199","name":"Chemical Compositions, Traditional Applications, and Biological Activities of Gnaphalium affine D.

Michel Boym’s Transmission of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Europe: New Evidence from the Jagiellonian Library","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The contribution of the Dutch Jesuit Michel Boym (1612–1659) to the transmission of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to Europe has long attracted scholarly attention. However, owing to the limited availability of primary sources, many aspects of his medical activities and the textual foundations of his knowledge have remained insufficiently understood. Drawing on Boym’s Chinese medical manuscripts preserved in the Jagiellonian Library in Poland, this study presents a systematic examination of these original materials and reassesses the textual sources and transmission of his medical knowledge. Through codicological investigation and textual comparison, the study identifies several editions of Ben Cao Gang Mu (《本草纲目》 The Grand Compendium of Materia Medica ) consulted by Boym, including the Jiangxi edition, the Daguan Ben Cao Gang Mu Complete Work, and the Jinling edition, thereby providing new evidence for the textual sources of his knowledge of Chinese materia medica. It further analyzes the Single Ingredient Medicines manuscript through collation with its translation and an investigation of its textual origins, revealing Boym’s selection, translation, and reconstruction of knowledge concerning individual medicinal substances for a European readership. In addition, a comparative study of Boym’s manuscript of Wang Shuhe’s Verse of Pulses with Attached Formulas and the 1682 Specimen Medicinæ Sinicæ clarifies the textual relationship between his original Chinese medical manuscripts and his published European medical work. These newly examined manuscripts not only deepen our understanding of Boym’s study and transmission of Chinese medicine but also provide new documentary evidence for reassessing the textual foundations, transmission pathways, and cross-cultural reconstruction of TCM in early modern Europe.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000202","authors":["Huiling Yang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-03T10:00:08Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000202","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00005-4","name":"Yin and Yang: the eternal balance","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00005-4","authors":["Jesse Li-ling"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-25T07:44:09Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-443-40417-7.00005-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.150686","name":"K92 Lactylation of YBX1 orchestrates m5C RNA recognition to facilitate colorectal Cancer progression","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.150686","authors":["Siche Chen","Xinyu Wang","Yanbin Chen","Yinbiao Qiao","Xinye Hu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-02T07:12:20Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.150686","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116212","name":"18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid reduces skin damage from UVB exposure by inhibiting the MyD88/MAPK signaling pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116212","authors":["Ying Xie","Aoyin Liu","Cheng Zhang","Hankun Chen","Weixiu Chen","Minmin Chen","Weihui Lü","Xiang Zeng","Manxue Mei","Wei Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-19T07:29:59Z","doi":"10.1016/j.intimp.2026.116212","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2025.121039","name":"Sishen Wan suppresses colon cancer through dual inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and STAT3-mitophagy pathways: Network pharmacology and experimental validation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2025.121039","authors":["Chuchu Wang","Rongrong Wang","Qi Xu","Qin Jian","Ruli Li","Junzhi Lin","Chuan Zheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-03T07:28:01Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2025.121039","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25236/ajmhs.2026.070110","name":"Advances in Appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques for Stress Urinary Incontinence","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.25236/ajmhs.2026.070110","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-24T07:08:58Z","doi":"10.25236/ajmhs.2026.070110","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.154213","name":"CiteSpace-Based Visualization Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Perimenopausal Depression","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.154213","authors":["姝燕 吴"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-10T08:56:13Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.154213","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s13020-026-01393-1","name":"Research progress of biological processing of traditional Chinese medicine:fermentation and sprouting","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Aim This paper presents a comprehensive review focusing on biological processing of traditional Chinese medicine. It reviews emerging modern fermentation technologies, as well as the two major aspects of biological processing of traditional Chinese medicine, fermentation processing and sprouting processing, covering key areas including their processing techniques, changes in TCM active ingredients, alterations in pharmacodynamic effects, and quality evaluation methods. The purpose of this review is to summarize the progress of TCM bioprocessing technologies, identify shortcomings in existing research, clarify the internal connections between different research areas, and ultimately provide comprehensive and reliable references for the further development of TCM bioprocessing research and its clinical application. Materials and methods PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang and CBM were systematically searched using keywords including “fermentation”, “sprouting”, “ Arisaema cum Bile ”, and “ Massa Medicata Fermentata ”. Relevant articles on TCM biological processing were screened and reviewed. Results Biological processing contributes significantly to optimizing TCM quality, potentiating efficacy and attenuating toxicity. Nevertheless, its industrialization is limited by unstable microbial strains and incomplete quality assessment systems, while systematic modern scientific elucidations are still lacking for its mechanisms and standardized application. Conclusion Biological processing of traditional Chinese medicine has fully exerted the clinical value of TCM and provided an important guarantee for the application of TCM. Future research should clarify its scientific connotation using modern indicators, improve its theoretical system, promote scaled and standardized development, and thereby advance the modernization and internationalization of TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-026-01393-1","authors":["Jia-qi Shi","Xiao-ting Wang","Jia-li Tian","Yu Shi","Ya-zhu Wang","Shu-qing Tian","Fan Zhang","Hui Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T09:14:43Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-026-01393-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.023","name":"Research Progress on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Diabetic Osteoporosis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.023","authors":["Tengfei YU","Wei HU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T00:51:34Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.023","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000176","name":"Origins of Etiological Thought in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Insights from Shang Oracle-bone Medical Inscriptions","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract The oracle-bone inscriptions related to medical issues encompass disease names, causes, progression, and treatment methods, reflecting the Shang (商) people’s understanding of diseases. This study, employing interdisciplinary perspectives from philology and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), explores the Shang dynasty’s understanding of disease etiology and its manifestations in TCM. The Shang people’s understanding of disease causation can be summarized as spiritual disturbances and harm from insects or curses. Spiritual disturbances are categorized into three aspects: diseases sent by the Shang Di (上帝 Supreme Deity), diseases caused by deceased persons who had transformed into deities, and diseases associated with nightmares. Concepts in TCM, such as diseases caused by emotions, environmental pathogens, and the relationship between nightmares and diseases, can be traced back to early understanding of disease causation reflected in oracle-bone divinations. Furthermore, specific TCM treatments, such as Gui Men Shi San Zhen (鬼门十三针 Thirteen Ghost Points) and Zhu You Shu (祝由术 Zhuyou therapy), are deeply influenced by the concept of spiritual disturbances. The Shang people’s understanding of disease causation has profoundly impacted the formation and development of etiological theory in TCM, evident not only in theoretical explanations of disease causes but also in specific medical practices. By studying the concepts of disease causation in medical-related oracle-bone inscriptions, we can gain a deeper understanding of the development of ideas, theoretical systems, and treatment methods related to disease causes in TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000176","authors":["Shengyu ZHU","Fei Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-27T02:00:15Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000176","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.030","name":"Research Progress on the Etiology and Pathogenesis of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.030","authors":["Jie WANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T00:52:23Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.030","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.04.027","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.04.027","authors":["Wenjie ZHAO","Yanan LAN","Yahong FENG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T00:53:34Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.04.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100850","name":"Curcumin as a multi-target therapeutic strategy in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: integrating preclinical evidence with traditional chinese medicine perspectives","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100850","authors":["Mohit Kumar","Tejaswi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-25T06:57:32Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100850","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.156309","name":"Advances in Clinical Research on Traditional Chinese Medicine for Pediatric Chronic Rhinosinusitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.156309","authors":["鑫阳 王"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-09T08:42:49Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.156309","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000107","name":"Targeting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to treat allergic asthma: Pathogenesis, mechanism, and treatment with traditional Chinese medicine and its components","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine and its bioactive components have garnered increasing attention as potential therapeutic options for allergic asthma. By targeting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway, these natural compounds exhibit unique advantages in multilevel immunomodulation and inflammation suppression compared with single-target synthetic drugs. Accumulating pharmacological evidence supports their capacity to restore pathway homeostasis, positioning them as promising candidates for complementary strategies in asthma management. Allergic asthma, a heterogeneous respiratory disorder affecting approximately 150 million individuals worldwide, arises from a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors. Its pathological progression is marked by aberrant activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade, with the mechanistic target of rapamycin serving as a key downstream regulatory node. This evolutionarily conserved pathway orchestrates fundamental cellular processes that contribute to three hallmark pathological features of allergic asthma: chronic airway inflammation, structural remodeling of the bronchial architecture, and airway hyperresponsiveness. This review has 3 primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the role of the PI3K/AKT pathway in allergic asthma pathogenesis, (2) to analyze the molecular mechanisms of representative traditional Chinese medicine preparations and their active ingredients, and (3) to identify novel bioactive inhibitors derived from natural products. Collectively, these investigations provide a conceptual framework for the development of next-generation targeted therapies and for optimizing clinical management strategies for allergic asthma.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000107","authors":["Jiamao Wang","Qitong Zheng","Yiqing Shi","Mengyao Chen","Xia’nan Sang","Gang Cao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-23T15:00:29Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000107","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100845","name":"From toxicity to therapy: Mechanistic insights into detoxification strategies in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100845","authors":["Ahmed I.

Currently, research into the hypoglycaemic effects of OJPS, particularly in vivo studies of its mechanisms of action, remains limited. This paper provides a systematic review of the structural characteristics of Ophiopogon japonicus polysaccharides and their hypoglycaemic mechanisms in a zebrafish hyperglycaemia model. Structural studies indicate that OJPS (3.929 kDa) is a highly homogeneous, highly soluble, and compact polysaccharide, primarily composed of glucose (91.85%) and galacturonic acid (3.41%). Following treatment with OJPS, hyperglycaemic zebrafish exhibited improvements in both glucose and lipid metabolism parameters. Concurrently, OJPS suppressed oxidative stress in the zebrafish, reducing hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammatory cell infiltration. Furthermore, OJPS significantly increased the expression of GLP-1, cAMP, PKA and phosphorylated CREB (P-CREB) proteins, thereby promoting insulin secretion. In summary, this study demonstrates the dual potential of OJPS in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules31152659","authors":["Jiani Li","Yimiao Zhou","Zhiyong Liao","Lina Deng","Xiao Liu","Zuowei Xiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T11:38:54Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules31152659","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/ijcp/8112703","name":"Activation of PD‐1/PD‐L1 Pathway by Total Glucosides of Peony Induces Regulatory T‐Cells to Ameliorate Myocardial Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury","source":"crossref","abstract":"Aims The treatment of myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury (MIRI) still has significant limitations. However, whether TGP activates PD‐1/PD‐L1 to counteract the inflammatory response and thus attenuates the reperfusion injury of MIRI remains unclear. Methods A mouse MIRI model was established by left coronary artery ligation and randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, MIRI group, MIRI + TGP group, and MIRI + TGP + Anti‐PD‐L1 group. Seventy‐two hours later, the Treg ratio was detected by flow‐through assay; inflammatory factors and myocardial injury indexes were detected by ELISA; mouse heart tissue subjected to HE staining, TUNEL staining, and Masson staining; protein expression and RNA profiles of the signal pathway were detected by Western blot and qPCR; echocardiography determined the left heart function of mice. Pathway protein expression and RNA profiles were detected; echocardiography was performed to determine mouse left heart function. Results Compared with all experimental groups, mice in the MIRI + TGP group had significantly improved 7‐day mortality; decreased secretion of proinflammatory factors and increased secretion of anti‐inflammatory factors; significantly reduced myocardial infarction area, significantly increased proportion of Treg cells, and decreased apoptotic cells as seen by staining; increased expression of PD‐1/PD‐L1 in myocardial tissues; and significantly improved cardiac functional conditions in mice. And after the use of PD‐1 inhibitor, compared with the MIRI + TGP group, 7‐day mortality increased; the secretion of proinflammatory factors increased, and the secretion of anti‐inflammatory factors decreased; the area of myocardial infarction increased significantly, the proportion of Treg cells decreased significantly, and the staining showed an increase in apoptotic cells; the expression of PD‐1/PD‐L1 in myocardial tissues was reduced; and the functional situation of the mouse heart was reduced. And compared with the MIRI group, the degree of change was not obvious. Conclusion TGP might be due, in part, to improve myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by activating the PD‐1/PD‐L1 signaling pathway and inducing Treg production, thereby inhibiting the inflammatory response.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/ijcp/8112703","authors":["Rongcheng An","Qian Li","Bin Sheng","Yingwei Ou","Lue Chen","Yong Shen","Yongsheng Yuan","Lingxiao Pang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-03T04:28:37Z","doi":"10.1155/ijcp/8112703","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12882-026-04927-9","name":"Efficacy and safety of sibeprenlimab in IgA nephropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-026-04927-9","authors":["Zhonghua Tian","Yuxia Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-28T16:44:43Z","doi":"10.1186/s12882-026-04927-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/jdr/9157351","name":"From a Shared Stress to Cell‐Type‐Specific Responses: The Heterogeneous Mechanisms of High Glucose‐Induced Cellular Senescence in Diabetic Kidney Disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe microvascular complication of diabetes characterized by complex pathogenesis in which renal cellular senescence is a critical pathological element. Traditionally, hyperglycemia has been regarded as a uniform stressor inducing cellular senescence; however, significant heterogeneity exists in different renal cell types’ responses to high glucose (HG) stimulation. This review systematically elucidates mechanisms underlying senescence of major renal cell types under hyperglycemic conditions. Hyperglycemia acts as a common initiator triggering senescence via shared pathways, including oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation. However, owing to distinct structural, functional, and molecular profiles across cell types, divergent senescence programs are activated. Specifically, podocyte senescence centers on GSK3 β ‐mediated collapse of metabolic homeostasis and GPR124 axis‐related mechanosensing dysfunction; mesangial cell (MC) senescence manifests as STAT5‐ and Caveolin‐1 signaling‐mediated “senescence–fibrosis” vicious cycles; glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) senescence is characterized by dysregulation of the NOS/NO signaling axis and glycocalyx damage; and renal tubular epithelial cell (TEC) senescence is initiated by mitochondrial damage under metabolic overload, promoting interstitial fibrosis through the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). By revealing this heterogeneous mechanism shifting from “common stress” to “specific responses,” this review offers a novel perspective on DKD pathogenesis and establishes a theoretical foundation for developing targeted anti‐senescence therapies. It further discusses implications for the clinical translation of renal protective agents.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/jdr/9157351","authors":["Jing Wang","Tian Liu","Kai Zhu","Ni Lin","Qi Wang","Beijia Xu","Xiaomin Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-30T09:57:21Z","doi":"10.1155/jdr/9157351","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/001c.154712","name":"Evaluating the Diagnostic Accuracy of Three Traditional Chinese Medicine Eye-based Diagnostic Systems and Clinical Disease in Horses","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of three traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) eye-based diagnostic systems (Wu Lun, Ba Kuo, Ba Gua) and equine clinical disease. An ocular exam was performed on 103 horses which included photo documentation of both eyes. Findings from the exam, using each of the different TCM diagnostic systems, were compared to known medical history of a subject horse and the clinical presentation during the enrollment visit. An overall diagnosis accuracy score of each TCM eye assessment system was evaluated against the chance level, and the differences among the three systems were compared. Based on a subject horse’s past medical history, all three eye diagnostic systems had overall diagnostic scores significantly greater than 0 (null hypothesis), demonstrating better than chance diagnostic accuracy: p=5.8×10-13, 1.9×10-13, 9.4×10-11 for Ba Gua, Ba Kuo and Wu Lun respectively. Statistically significant findings for diagnostic accuracy were also obtained based on a subject’s clinical presentation at study enrollment: p=8.2×10-15, 3.0×10-14, 5.3×10-13 for Ba Kuo, Ba Gua, Wu Lun respectively; all with smaller p-values (more significant) than the results for past medical history. Comparison of diagnostic score outcomes did not reveal significant differences among the three eye-based diagnostic systems (p=1.000 and 0.243, based on past medical history and clinical presentation, respectively). This study provides early evidence-based findings that the three TCM ocular assessments could prove helpful in diagnosing clinical disease and Zang-fu organ imbalance in the horse and should be considered as a useful adjunct to equine clinical TCVM examinations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/001c.154712","authors":["Allison Marshall","Huisheng Xie","Aituan Ma","Deng-Shan Shiau"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-02T05:39:30Z","doi":"10.59565/001c.154712","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.23977/socmhm.2026.070104","name":"Research and Practical Exploration on the Mechanism of Integrating Healthcare with Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.23977/socmhm.2026.070104","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-25T01:44:22Z","doi":"10.23977/socmhm.2026.070104","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10238-026-02078-7","name":"MLANA is a potential prognostic biomarker and correlated with immune infiltration in skin cutaneous melanoma","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10238-026-02078-7","authors":["Nan Tang","Xudong Lai","Weilun Wen","Yanhua Wu","Xifeng Xiong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-16T13:48:19Z","doi":"10.1007/s10238-026-02078-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18240/ijo.2026.06.04","name":"Fructus lycii mitigates oxidative stress in dry age-related macular degeneration models via Nrf2/ARE pathway","source":"crossref","abstract":"AIM: To evaluate the effect of Fructus lycii (FL) aqueous extract on dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in mice via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element (Nrf2/ARE) signaling pathway and investigate the protective effect of FL-containing serum on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-treated human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) in vitro. METHODS: In vivo dry AMD mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of NaIO3 solution and treated with aqueous extract of FL. The pathological changes of mouse retinal tissues were observed by electron microscopy; the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in mouse serum was detected by colorimetric method. In vitro dry AMD model was established by H2O2 induction of ARPE-19 cells and treated with FL-containing serum. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay and scratch assay were performed to detect cell activity and proliferation ability. Expression of Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) in retinal tissues and ARPE-19 cells were detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR). RESULTS: The in vivo study revealed severe deposits under the retinal pigment epithelium and thickened Bruch’s membrane in dry AMD mice. However, aqueous extract of FL reduced the formation of deposits and decreased the thickness of Bruch’s membrane. SOD and CAT activities were significantly reduced in the serum of dry AMD mice, and aqueous extract of FL upregulated SOD and CAT activities. In addition, gene and protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, and GCLC were significantly downregulated in dry AMD mice, but significantly upregulated by FL aqueous extract treatment. In vitro studies showed that H2O2 inhibited the activity and proliferative capacity of ARPE-19 cells and downregulated the protein and gene expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and GCLC. However, in H2O2-treated ARPE-19 cells, FL-containing serum not only increased cell activity and proliferative capacity, but also upregulated protein and gene expression of Nrf2, HO-1, and GCLC. CONCLUSION: FL reduces oxidative stress in an animal model of dry AMD through the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway and has a protective effect on dry AMD in vitro and in vivo, providing new insights into the therapeutic use of FL for dry AMD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18240/ijo.2026.06.04","authors":["Yuan Peng","Han-Lei Wei","Qin Huang","Ling-Mei Yuan","Yu-Yan Xie","Qiu-Yu Tang","An-Qi Wang","Jia-Ming Li","Qin-Shang Guo","Bing-Lin Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-18T08:10:26Z","doi":"10.18240/ijo.2026.06.04","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/001c.164682","name":"Inheritance and Innovation: The Historical Evolution and Contemporary Transformation of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) has a long developmental history, with its origins traceable to antiquity. It took initial form during the early hierarchal society (1046 BCE) and gradually matured into a systematic discipline through the feudal period, establishing a comprehensive theoretical framework based on Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, the theory of Zang-fu organs, and treatment guided by syndrome differentiation. Its progression stagnated in the late Qing Dynasty to wartime periods, experiencing revival only after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, when policy prioritized cultural and educational advancement. In the contemporary era, TCVM has undergone significant transformation through integration with modern veterinary medicine. Its clinical focus, once centered almost exclusively on traditional livestock, has expanded to incorporate the companion animal sector, where it demonstrates efficacy in managing chronic, age-related conditions, as well as disorders affecting exotic pets. Within livestock production, TCVM has evolved from individualized to population-level syndrome differentiation, with its preventive treatment philosophy supporting sustainable farming practices and antibiotic reduction policies. The discipline actively incorporates modern scientific methodologies, including molecular biology, network pharmacology, artificial intelligence, and advanced diagnostics to enhance its theoretical foundation and clinical applicability. Despite persistent challenges, TCVM continues to expand its global presence through international education and professional training. Future development should adhere to the principle of “conserving the essence while fostering innovation,” promoting integrative veterinary medicine, strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration, and cultivating a multi-tiered professional workforce. In doing so, these efforts will further enable TCVM to contribute to animal health, sustainable agriculture, and the global “One Health” initiative.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/001c.164682","authors":["Xinhui Wang","Fenglin Miao","Qiuyu Xie","Liyun Cao","Xiyuan Zhao","Wuren Ma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-03T03:40:02Z","doi":"10.59565/001c.164682","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000132","name":"Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) in traditional Chinese medicine: A powerful tool for quality control, authentication, and geographic origin tracing","source":"crossref","abstract":"Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique that has been widely applied in recent years for quality control, authenticity identification, and geographic origin tracing of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

The initial phase employed drug-targeted Mendelian randomization to investigate the association between IL-6 receptor inhibitors and T2D across diverse populations. Subsequently, variables related to T2D were utilized as mediators in the relationship between IL-6 receptor inhibitors and CSF metabolites. Finally, the mediating effect of T2D was evaluated using mediation analysis. In the European cohort, the use of IL-6 receptor inhibitors was associated with a 25.3% reduction in the risk of T2D, as indicated by an odds ratio of 0.747 with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.556 to 0.938 ( P = .003). In the East Asian cohort, IL-6 receptor inhibitors were associated with a 1.188-fold increase in the risk of elevated fasting insulin levels, with an odds ratio of 1.188 and a 95% confidence interval of 1.034 to 1.343 ( P = .029). Mediation analysis revealed that IL-6 receptor inhibitors significantly elevated the levels of galacto-glycero-lipid (GG) in CSF, with 3.06% of the effect attributable to the reduced risk of T2D, and 96.94% directly resulting from the action of the IL-6 receptor inhibitors. The findings preliminarily indicated that race constituted a variable potentially influencing the differential effects of IL-6 receptor inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across various regions. While the administration of IL-6 receptor inhibitors might impact glucose concentrations in CSF, the role of T2D as a mediator in CSF metabolites was weak. The predominant determinant appeared to be the administration of IL-6 receptor inhibitors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000050063","authors":["Naidan Zhang","Chaixia Ji","Qi Xin","Baibing Xie","Chengliang Yuan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-07T18:01:22Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000050063","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000131","name":"Intestinal Organoid-on-a-Chip: A new frontier in deciphering the mechanisms of absorption and transport of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), refined over millennia, embodies distinctive therapeutic principles rooted in the concept of harmony with nature. The oral efficacy of TCM is critically dependent upon the precise absorption and efficient intestinal transport of its complex constituents. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to the modernization and global advancement of TCM research. Intestinal organoid technology, which enables three-dimensional in vitro culture of intestinal tissues, accurately recapitulates the cellular heterogeneity, structural organization, and key physiological functions of the native intestine. Recently, the integration of organoids with microfluidic platforms to form “Intestinal Organoid-on-a-Chip” systems has further advanced this field by dynamically recapitulating intestinal peristalsis, absorption, and metabolic activities. These systems provide a more physiologically relevant platform for investigating the transmembrane transport and spatiotemporal dynamics of TCM constituents. This review summarizes the principles, construction strategies, and functional characteristics of intestinal organoid technology, highlights its emerging applications in elucidating the absorption and transport mechanisms of TCM, and discusses current challenges, including standardization, experimental complexity, and clinical translation. Furthermore, it envisions future directions involving multiomics, artificial intelligence, and other cutting-edge approaches, aiming to provide novel strategies to accelerate the modernization and internationalization of TCM research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000131","authors":["Chunjie Bao","Yiheng Ren","Wei Zhao","Jialun Duan","Xin Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-19T21:00:18Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000131","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20251004004","name":"Construction of an evaluation index system of application management of Traditional Chinese Medicine appropriate technology in the non-Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of general hospitals","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20251004004","authors":["Jing WANG","Xiaodi SUN","Peng YU","Yu ZHANG","Xin MENG","Guofang KUANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-04T10:07:15Z","doi":"10.55111/j.issn2709-1961.20251004004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000047705","name":"Causal relationship between serum creatinine levels and bone mineral density: A Mendelian randomization study","source":"crossref","abstract":"To study serum creatinine (Scr) levels and bone mineral density (BMD), we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship between them.

The essence of narrative medicine is similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which prioritizes patients, emphasizing disease interpretation and psychological guidance for the patients. This paper aims to analyze narrative competence and clinical practice in TCM. TCM adopts Qu Xiang Bi Lei (取象比类 analogical reasoning), a way of thinking and expression, which takes advantage of analogical thinking and metaphorical language rather than obscure medical terms to communicate with patients. This method helps patients understand the mechanism and treatment of disease, thus facilitating doctor-patient collaboration and improving patients’ compliance. TCM’s emphasis on patients aligns with the three key attributes of narrative medicine: attention, representation, and affiliation. In conclusion, TCM’s use of Qu Xiang Bi Lei and related metaphorical language reflects its excellent narrative competence in medical practice, and has profound implications for the development of China’s narrative medical system and the cultivation of narrative competence among healthcare professionals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000186","authors":["Erli ZHANG","Xiujuan CHEN","Hui WU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-25T05:00:13Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000186","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.allmed.2026.100097","name":"Interpretation of the international evidence-based guidelines for traditional Chinese medicine management of allergic rhinitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.allmed.2026.100097","authors":["Qin-Wei Fu","Lan-Zhi Zhang","Xin Zhang","Qin-Xiu Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-27T17:16:57Z","doi":"10.1016/j.allmed.2026.100097","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21275/sr26105123900","name":"Chatbots in Ayurveda: Comparative Review with Modern Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21275/sr26105123900","authors":["Supriya Vivek Singh","Vivek B Singh","T S Dudhamal"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-12T10:33:16Z","doi":"10.21275/sr26105123900","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.joim.2025.10.009","name":"Enhancing pregnancy outcomes in recurrent implantation failure: The role of acupuncture in improving endometrial receptivity","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joim.2025.10.009","authors":["Hong-zhu Li","Ying-jie Wu","Xue-rong Li","Bing Deng","Yu-xi Pang","Shi-yu Lin","Li-ming Lu","Yue-mei Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-04T00:24:58Z","doi":"10.1016/j.joim.2025.10.009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.154222","name":"An Exploration of Professor Yu Qian’s Academic Thoughts on Integrated Traditional Chinese-Western Rehabilitation Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.154222","authors":["颖 刘"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-14T08:45:00Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.154222","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.156330","name":"Current Status and Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment for Coronary Heart Disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.156330","authors":["光洋 孟"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-18T07:54:21Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.156330","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000187","name":"Synergizing Global Health Governance: WHO and ISO Frameworks in Advancing Traditional Chinese Medicine Standardization","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract: The international standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is pivotal for its global acceptance and integration into global health systems.

The study analyzed WHO and ISO documents, including strategies, standards, and reports, using a comparative framework across macro (strategic planning), meso (organizational approaches), and micro (specific standards) levels. WHO provides foundational, public welfare-oriented standards, while ISO offers market-driven technical specifications. Overlaps in terminology and Chinese Materia Medica (CMM) standards highlight coordination gaps, potentially causing inconsistencies. Enhanced collaboration between WHO and ISO can harmonize TCM standards, eliminate redundancies and ensure coherence. Policy recommendations include clarifying roles, establishing joint mechanisms, and evaluating standards post-publication.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000187","authors":["Yiran HUANG","Gerui ZHU","Jing LI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-25T05:00:13Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000187","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000210","name":"The Historical Evolution, Value Connotation, and Inheritance of Shanghai School of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000210","authors":["Weiyue HU","Lei FENG","Shuying ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-10T05:00:13Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000210","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000110","name":"Advances in computational approaches to herbal prescription recommendation in traditional Chinese medicine: A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Intelligent prescription recommendation has become an important research direction in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), offering new opportunities to support clinical decision-making and promote the modernization of TCM practice. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), a variety of computational approaches have been proposed to learn prescription patterns from clinical data and generate personalized treatment recommendations. However, despite increasing research activity, systematic and comprehensive reviews of AI-driven methods for TCM prescription recommendation remain limited. In this study, we present a comprehensive review of computational approaches for herbal prescription recommendation (HPR) in TCM. Existing methods are systematically categorized into several major paradigms, including traditional machine learning methods, topic model methods, sequential generative methods, deep learning and graph-based methods, and large language model–based frameworks. In addition to summarizing methodological developments, we also review commonly used public datasets and evaluation metrics in this field. Furthermore, representative models with publicly available implementations are experimentally evaluated on multiple benchmark datasets to provide a comparative analysis of their performance on the HPR task. Finally, we discuss the key challenges that hinder the practical deployment of intelligent prescription recommendation systems, including data heterogeneity, limited interpretability, and insufficient integration of TCM domain knowledge. Future research directions are outlined to facilitate the development of more reliable, interpretable, and clinically applicable AI-assisted HPR systems for TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000110","authors":["Xin Dong","Geyan Pan","Juxian Tang","Xuchen Zhang","Yutong Hou","Peng Zhang","Xiaohan Mao","Zhipeng Ke","Zongyao Zhao","Xuezhong Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-20T11:00:31Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000110","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jopan.2026.05.004","name":"Characteristics of Intraoperative Hypothermia and Rewarming Responses in Elderly Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia Across Different Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitutions","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jopan.2026.05.004","authors":["Shujun Han","Weiwei Ou","Dinghua Zheng","Li Chen","Xuemei Lin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-14T22:19:24Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jopan.2026.05.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.02.006","name":"A machine learning-based depression recognition model integrating spirit-expression features from traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.02.006","authors":["Yao Minghui","Zhu Rongrong","Qian Peng","Liu Huilin","Sun Xirong","Gao Limin","Li Fufeng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-28T01:43:20Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.02.006","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100756","name":"Research progress of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation in prevention and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100756","authors":["Zidong Zhang","Haodong Bai","Jiao Zhou","Desen Ke","Qiuhong Wang","Haixue Kuang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-07T16:58:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100756","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152115","name":"Clinical Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Pediatric Allergic Rhinitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152115","authors":["鹏 张"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-13T07:02:19Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152115","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100761","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine–derived phytochemicals in prostate cancer: Mechanisms, progress, and prospects","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100761","authors":["Karthik K Karunakar","Kunal R Kataria","Lincy Yabase","Binoy Varghese Cheriyan","Keerthi Varsha","Sowmiya Philip"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-14T07:58:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100761","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152118","name":"Research Progress on Treatment of Chronic Urticaria by External Therapies of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152118","authors":["彦姣 熊"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-14T06:01:10Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152118","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.158446","name":"Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the Treatment of Hot Flashes and Sweating during Perimenopause","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.158446","authors":["琦 刘"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-24T05:51:50Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.158446","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/st9.0000000000000094","name":"Development of brush ionization probe mass spectrometry for convenient on-site detection of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective: To develop a convenient, direct, and highly sensitive method for screening trace chemical additives in complex Chinese patent medicines, thereby addressing core technological bottlenecks in pharmaceutical analysis and quality control.

However, these data are characterized by significant heterogeneity and complex semantic structures, posing substantial challenges for systematic integration and intelligent analysis, and limiting its potential for modern clinical and computational research. To address the challenges posed by the high heterogeneity and complex structure in TCM data, we designed and developed the TCM Data Hub platform, which is powered by the YiYuan large language models (LLMs). This platform aims to enhance intelligent data processing capabilities and unlock the potential for clinical application of TCM data through systematic integration and efficient utilization, thereby bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and modern computational research. This study first analyzed the heterogeneity and complexity of TCM information with respect to data types, structures, and semantics. A standardized data framework was constructed to enhance data integration and interoperability. Based on the TCM Intelligent Computing Platform of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, we trained the YiYuan LLMs to acquire domain-specific semantic understanding of TCM, thereby improving the platform’s comprehension of specialized terminology and knowledge systems. Leveraging the natural language processing capabilities of the LLMs, we developed a human-in-the-loop data processing system to enable efficient extraction, cleansing, and structured organization of TCM data. In addition, utilizing Vue and Java technologies, we developed multiple LLM-powered intelligent agents and systems, including a human-in-the-loop data processing system, as well as automated prescription mining and network pharmacology analysis agents. Task-specific agents tailored to TCM data processing were developed to enhance the model’s effectiveness in clinical knowledge discovery. System functionality and platform infrastructure were implemented using Java and Vue technologies.The TCM Data Hub platform has completed system construction and core functionality implementation. It supported integrated management and efficient access to 8 key types of TCM data: prescriptions, materia medica, ingredients, targets, diseases (Western medicine), diseases (TCM), syndromes, and therapeutic methods. The human-in-the-loop data processing system achieved an accuracy of 95.34% in structuring TCM data and supported annotation for data requiring manual labeling. The intelligent agent-driven big-data analytics module enabled 1-click, end-to-end workflows for TCM prescription mining, herb-syndrome association analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular biology research, completing a full data mining task in approximately 30 minutes. Users can interact with and manipulate data through a visual front-end interface. The system demonstrated stable performance, strong scalability, and a user-friendly experience. Empowered by the YiYuan LLMs, the TCM Data Hub platform significantly improves the accessibility, usability, and intelligence of TCM data. It effectively bridges traditional TCM knowledge with modern intelligent technologies, providing robust data support and intelligent tools for TCM research and clinical applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/st9.0000000000000118","authors":["Chongyun Zhou","Qin Li","Tangming Cui","Chaohui Cui","Peiyu Wang","Meiling Sun","Ying Nie","Yichen Bai","Haiyan Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-19T13:05:50Z","doi":"10.1097/st9.0000000000000118","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12889-025-26139-w","name":"Association of nighttime sleep duration and quality with low back pain in middle-aged and elderly Chinese: a nationwide longitudinal cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-025-26139-w","authors":["Wenlong Guo","Jingyao Ye","Yang Fu","Maolin Zheng","Jie Zhou","Xiaohong Fan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-29T04:24:42Z","doi":"10.1186/s12889-025-26139-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100772","name":"Machine learning framework for multi-regulatory safety assessment of traditional Chinese medicine compounds","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100772","authors":["Oluwaseun E.

Modern medicine primarily focuses on preventing SNHL by avoiding causative factors (reducing ototoxic drug use, noise protection, etc.), whereas treatments mainly rely on hearing aids, cochlear implants, and symptomatic drug therapy, which have certain limitations. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) system, centered on syndrome differentiation and treatment, demonstrates unique potential and advantages in preventive hearing protection, improving auditory function, and reducing adverse reactions. TCM theory posits that SNHL has “the kidney governing the ears” as its core etiology and pathogenesis and is related to dysfunction of multiple organs, such as the liver, heart, lung, and stomach. Clinically effective TCM methods for preventing and treating SNHL include: Chinese herbal monomers and extracts such as puerarin, tetramethylpyrazine, Ginkgo biloba extract, Tanshinone IIA, and silymarin, which primarily act through mechanisms like improving inner ear microcirculation, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects; Chinese herbal formulas such as Erlong Zuoci Pills, Fucong Tablets, Tongqi Powder, and Wuling Powder, which have shown efficacy in delaying presbycusis and treating sudden deafness, with mechanisms involving regulation of cell apoptosis, autophagy, antioxidant effects, and improving inner ear microcirculation; nonpharmacological therapies like acupuncture and massage, by selecting acupoints around the ear and distant sites to dredge meridians and harmonize qi and blood, are applied in the treatment of sudden deafness of qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern and show synergistic effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2813-2668","authors":["Jiaxin Liu","Yuhan Wang","Yunhao Wu","Xinbo Xu","Xiaolong Fu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T22:47:07Z","doi":"10.1055/a-2813-2668","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.242Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100816","name":"Synergistic, additive, and antagonistic modulation of inflammation and immunity by multi-compound traditional Chinese medicine formulas","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100816","authors":["Oluwaseun E.

study was to assess the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction. The study considered the similarities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD). The initial literature search resulted in 573 relevant clinical and nonclinical studies. Three categories of controlled clinical trials in AD patients were selected for review: placebo control (20), conventional medicine control (126), and integrated treatment (183). The studies were reviewed and those that met the inclusion criteria were selected for meta-analysis. The review found that 10 placebo-controlled studies, 38 conventional medicine-controlled studies, and 38 integrated studies were qualified for meta-analysis. In placebo-controlled studies, meta-analyses based on improvements in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) found statistical significance in the MMSE (p=8.74×10-7), ADAS-cog (p=0.0085), and overall p-value (p=3.66×10-17), suggesting that the TCM treatments were significantly more effective than placebo. In conventional treatment-controlled studies, results from the meta-analyses also suggest that TCM treatments were significantly more effective than conventional treatments based on the overall p-value (p=1.67×10-23) and improvement in MMSE (p=0.0002). In the integrated treatment studies, the meta-analyses findings suggest that TCM-integrated treatments were significantly more effective than conventional treatments alone (overall p-value: p=1.82×10-48 and p=0.0050 in MMSE improvements). Based on this systematic review and considering the similarities in pathology in the human and canine, TCVM may be helpful to lessen suffering and improve the quality of life in patients with canine cognitive dysfunction.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/001c.83394","authors":["Catherine Nokay","Deng-Shan Shiau"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-05T15:35:38Z","doi":"10.59565/001c.83394","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.519Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-319-03801-8_1","name":"Searching for Evidence in Traditional Chinese Medicine Research: A Review and New Opportunities","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-03801-8_1","authors":["Simon K.

Condition being studied: Primary hypothyroidism is a systemic hypometabolic syndrome in which TH deficiency or TH resistance is caused by the disease of the thyroid itself. TH replacement therapy, internationally recognized as the most effective treatment, has many disadvantages. Studies have shown that Traditional Chinese Medicine can effectively eliminate the symptoms of hypothyroidism and improve thyroid secretion. However, the validity of the results was low due to study limitations.

Conventional managements for the miscarriage include bed rest, hormone therapy and muscle relaxants. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is also the popular option for the women. Evidence to support the efficacy and safety of TCM in treating threatened abortion is still limited. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Chinese medicine in the treatment of threatened abortion compared with the hormone therapy t hrough a systematic review and meta - analysis. Methods: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were electronically retrieved in the database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang Database (Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology), VIP Data and PubMed between January 1 2008 and December 1 2018 with the pre - designed search strategy. The outcomes included the clinical effectiveness, the clotting time of vaginal bleeding, pain reduction in lower abdomen, and incidences of adverse event s. The software RevMan 5.1 was employed for the meta - analysis. Results: Twenty - three studies were included in the systematic review and meta - analysis, which enrolled 2014 pregnant women (1006 in the treatment group and 1008 in the control). The meta - analys is of clinical effectiveness showed that TCM significantly decreased rate of miscarriage compared with the conventional therapy. In the subgroup analysis of miscarriage rate in women, oral administration of TCM was more effective than either the injected o r oral administration of conventional medications. Further analysis showed that oral TCM was more effective than the injection of progesterone only or combined with hCG, even the oral progesterone. Conclusions: The study indicated that TCM was likely more effective than conventional therapy in treating threatened abortion with unclear adverse events. However, due to the low quality of included studies, larger scales of RCTs and more scientific evidence are needed to prove the efficacy and safety of TC M for threatened abortion.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23880/oajg-16000174","authors":["Wei MENG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022-09-05T09:14:05Z","doi":"10.23880/oajg-16000174","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/bf02934708","name":"Review of “English-Chinese Chinese-English Dictionary of Chinese Medicine”","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02934708","authors":["Ming-Hui Wang","Nigel Wiseman"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-17T18:06:09Z","doi":"10.1007/bf02934708","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/001c.83238","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Interventions for Managing Cancer Treatment Induced Side Effects in Human Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with Comments on Veterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in humans as well as companion animals. Commonly used conventional medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are associated with significant side effects such as vomiting, nausea, fatigue, bone marrow suppression and decreased quality of life. The objective of the current literature systematic review and meta-analysis was to answer the question: Can the adverse effects of conventional cancer therapies be ameliorated by the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Given the lack of research in veterinary oncology in this area, the systematic review and meta-analysis reviewed human studies exclusively. A total of 15 studies met inclusion criteria for meta-analysis from the initial 57 articles obtained through an internet search engine. Statistical evaluation using Stouffer’s Zscores resulted in an overall p-value of 8.82×10-6 for reduction of adverse side-effects in patients receiving acupuncture treatments and 5.45×10-22 for patients receiving Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) treatment. The marked statistical significance strongly supported the hypothesis that patients receiving TCM therapy (acupuncture, CHM) along with conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation therapy) have significantly fewer side effects than individuals who do not receive TCM treatment. The statistically significant results of the meta-analysis demonstrate the addition of TCM to standard conventional chemotherapeutic and radiotherapy protocols reduces adverse effects associated with treatment and suggest randomized controlled studies evaluating TCM in conventional cancer treatment are warranted in human and veterinary medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.59565/001c.83238","authors":["Tracie Romsland","Deng-Shan

Potential of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicines in Intracerebral Haemorrhage: A Narrative Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains a devastating stroke subtype with limited therapeutic options, creating an urgent need for complementary strategies that target secondary brain injury and recovery. Traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCHMs) have attracted interest because of their potential multitarget actions on neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, ferroptosis, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, haematoma resolution, gut microbiota dysbiosis and neurovascular repair. Relevant preclinical, clinical and translational studies were identified through a structured search of international and Chinese bibliographic databases. Preclinical studies suggest that selected TCHM-derived bioactive compounds and multicomponent formulae may modulate key pathological processes after ICH, although compound-level mechanisms should not be directly extrapolated to formula-level effects without further validation. Clinically, several small-scale randomized trials, observational studies and meta-analyses have reported potential benefits of selected TCHM preparations, including improved neurological scores, haematoma absorption, oedema reduction and functional recovery when used as adjuncts to conventional care. However, the clinical evidence remains heterogeneous. Larger and more rigorously designed multicentre trials, including CHAIN and CRRICH, have either failed to confirm clear functional benefit or raised safety concerns under specific conditions, particularly regarding ultra-early use of potent blood-activating formulations. Translation into mainstream ICH management is further hindered by variable study quality, insufficient risk-of-bias control, uncertainty regarding active material basis, potential synergistic or antagonistic interactions within multicomponent formulae and limited standardisation of herbal preparations. Future research should focus on formulation-specific, stage-specific and patient-stratified evaluation using rigorous randomized controlled trials, transparent pharmacological characterization, standardised quality control and careful safety monitoring. This review synthesises current evidence from bench to bedside and highlights a cautious pathway toward evidence-based integration of selected TCHMs into ICH management.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40120-026-01004-z","authors":["Guo H","Dong X","Zhang X","Zhang

Polysaccharides in Alzheimer's Disease: From Phytochemistry to Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis Mechanisms-Resolving the Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Paradox.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by Aβ deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, and neuroinflammation. No effective drugs can slow disease progression. Polysaccharides from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) exhibit neuroprotective activities (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory) with good safety. However, their clinical application is limited by low oral bioavailability, poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, and a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic paradox. The emerging role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in AD offers a strategy to overcome this paradox. This review summarizes the structural features and classification of TCM polysaccharides (from plants, fungi, and roots/rhizomes) and highlights their anti-AD mechanisms via the gut-brain axis. Acting as prebiotics, these polysaccharides escape upper digestion and are fermented by gut microbiota into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other metabolites, which enter circulation, cross the BBB, and alleviate AD pathology through metabolic, immune, and neuronal pathways. Outcomes include reduced Aβ deposition and tau phosphorylation, suppressed neuroinflammation, restored synaptic function, and improved cognition. This review provides a theoretical framework for TCM polysaccharide intervention in AD via the gut-brain axis and a pharmacological basis for developing natural product-based AD therapies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules31152622","authors":["Gao J","Li L","Liu Q","Zhang N","Li

Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential of Puerariae Lobatae Radix in Bone Metabolism: A Comprehensive Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Dysregulated bone metabolism is the core pathological trigger of osteoporosis (OP) and other orthopedic disorders. Puerariae Lobatae Radix (PLR; kudzu) is a classic traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and its bioactive constituents including isoflavonoids and triterpenoid saponins exert well-documented bone-modulating effects. However, the specific mechanisms underlying PLR's regulation of bone metabolism have not been systematically elucidated, due to the complexity of bone metabolic signaling networks. Based on 127 relevant literature retrieved from Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed, this review systematically summarizes the molecular mechanisms of PLR and its core active components in regulating bone metabolism. We focus on PLR's regulation of pathways implicated in metabolic bone diseases (MBDs), including NF-κB, RANKL/RANK/OPG, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK, via multiple mechanisms including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, modulation of ferroptotic signaling, ie, regulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-related cell death, autophagy modulation, and osteoimmune regulation, ie, modulation of interactions between immune responses and bone cells. This review suggests that PLR regulates bone homeostasis through multi-component and multi-pathway mechanisms, with potential effects on inhibiting osteoclast activity, promoting osteoblast function and maintaining bone microenvironment stability. It also provides a theoretical reference for further research on PLR, and highlights that future studies should focus on high-quality clinical trials and multi-omics exploration of signaling crosstalk to promote its clinical translation in MBDs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/dddt.s620698","authors":["Zhou Z","Li Y","Zou S","Wang A","Ni L","Lu J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/dddt.s620698","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fcvm.2026.1892900","name":"Comparing machine learning models and traditional approaches for predicting obstructive coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2026.1892900","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fcvm.2026.1892900","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158589","name":"Current advances and future perspectives of Astragalus membranaceus active components in regulating diabetic microvascular complications.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158589","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158589","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2026.1856615","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine-induced cardiac adverse reactions: a critical review of current evidence, knowledge gaps, and pharmacovigilance strategies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2026.1856615","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1856615","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1824561","name":"Unraveling the neuro-immune axis in cough hypersensitivity: from pathogenesis to synergistic management.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1824561","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1824561","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.neuroscience.2026.08.029","name":"Mechanisms of brain-body interactions in post-stroke visceral dysfunction and recovery.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2026.08.029","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.neuroscience.2026.08.029","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103401","name":"Effects of traditional Chinese exercises on sleep quality among post-stroke survivors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103401","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103401","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.bbr.2026.116408","name":"Endogenous event-related potentials in acupuncture clinical research: A critical narrative review.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2026.116408","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.bbr.2026.116408","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.122046","name":"Liparis nervosa (Thunb.)

Background GenAI is revolutionizing medical education by enabling innovative pedagogical approaches and showing promise in cultivating HOTS. However, its implementation and evidence on its role in fostering HOTS in nursing students remain unclear. Design A scoping review. Methods The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR checklist and Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. Searches were performed in October 2025 and updated in February 2026 across eight databases: PubMed, Ovid EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Education Source and ERIC. Two reviewers independently screened the studies in a blinded manner. Seventeen articles were included. Data were analyzed using interpretive description to summarize study characteristics, followed by thematic analysis to identify relevant themes. Results Studies showed the dual role of GenAI in cultivating HOTS in nursing education. Three key themes were identified, including: (1) the paradoxical reconstruction of cognitive dynamics; (2) tensions and frictions at the human-AI interface; and (3) reshaping learning and professional identity in the AI era. Conclusions The dual role of GenAI in HOTS development indicates that nursing education should integrate GenAI judiciously. While GenAI offers potential benefits for HOTS development, it also introduces risks related to cognitive dependence and reduced critical engagement. Furthermore, efforts should focus on improving the quality of human-AI collaboration, with particular attention to humanistic care, thereby helping students positively reshape their professional perceptions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2026.104948","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.nepr.2026.104948","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijpharm.2026.127322","name":"Twin-screw wet granulation in continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Wet granulation is a critical unit operation in the manufacturing of solid dosage forms. However, conventional wet granulation techniques are limited by significant batch-to-batch variability and scale-up challenges, making them difficult to meet the demands of continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing and robust quality control. As an emerging continuous granulation technology, Twin-Screw Wet Granulation (TSWG) has attracted extensive attention in pharmaceutical research and industrial applications due to its advantages of continuous processing, modular design, controllable mixing and shear, and reduced scale-up effects. This review systematically summarizes and critically evaluates the core technologies and underlying mechanisms of TSWG, including equipment configuration, screw design, and granulation mechanisms. The relationships between formulation variables, equipment parameters, and process conditions with critical quality attributes (CQAs) of granules, such as particle size distribution, porosity, and mechanical strength, are comprehensively analyzed. Furthermore, the application of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for real-time monitoring is discussed, together with recent advances in process modeling and optimization using Discrete Element Method-Computational Fluid Dynamics (DEM-CFD) coupled models, Population Balance Models (PBMs), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The potential of integrating AI with PAT, machine vision, and data-driven models for granule quality prediction, online monitoring, and intelligent process control is also highlighted. Finally, the current challenges of TSWG are addressed, including process scale-up consistency, adaptation to raw material batch variability, and control of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) polymorphic stability. Future development is expected to rely on interdisciplinary integration to advance technological innovation and support Quality by Design (QbD) paradigm in pharmaceutical manufacturing.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2026.127322","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.ijpharm.2026.127322","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ijms27156881","name":"Cardiometabolic Aging Driven by Multi-Organ Crosstalk: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms27156881","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156881","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/mco2.70930","name":"Amino Acid Metabolism in Health and Disease.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/mco2.70930","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/mco2.70930","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtherbio.2026.104557","name":"Technological evolution of hyperthermia: From traditional moxibustion to nanomaterial-mediated platforms for inflammatory diseases.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2026.104557","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jtherbio.2026.104557","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prdoa.2026.100489","name":"Prevalence and treatment effects on non-motor symptoms in cervical dystonia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prdoa.2026.100489","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.prdoa.2026.100489","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.520Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158470","name":"Efficacy and safety of Tripterygium agents in treatment of psoriasis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158470","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158470","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108331","name":"GLP-1-based combination strategies for weight loss: Multi-target agents and combination therapies.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108331","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phrs.2026.108331","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.62347/kion8631","name":"Multimodal brain imaging neurotransmitter marker study of TD: a review of TCM effect mechanisms and precise diagnosis and treatment combining traditional Chinese and western medicine.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Objective To systematically summarize findings from multimodal brain imaging and neurotransmitter marker studies in Tic disorders (TD), to explore potential neurobiological mechanisms underlying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interventions, and to propose a precision diagnosis framework integrating TCM and Western medicine. Methods This is a critical narrative review. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang databases up to October 2025 using keywords including \"TD\", \"Tourette syndrome\", \"multimodal imaging\", \"neurotransmitter\", and \"TCM\", ensuring comprehensive coverage. However, data synthesis followed a narrative, hypothesis-generating approach rather than a formal systematic review or meta-analysis framework. Results Structural MRI reveals basal ganglia volume reductions and cortical thickness abnormalities; functional MRI shows disrupted cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) connectivity and compensatory activation; DTI demonstrates white matter microstructural alterations; PET/SPECT identifies dopaminergic hyperactivity and serotonergic dysfunction; MRS indicates GABA-glutamate imbalance. TCM interventions (herbal formulas, acupuncture) modulate these imaging phenotypes with good safety profiles. However, most human imaging evidence for TCM remains correlational and preliminary, with animal models providing mechanistic hypotheses that require cautious translation. Conclusions Multimodal biomarkers enable objective subtyping and treatment monitoring. Limitations include small sample sizes, cross-sectional designs, comorbidity confounding, and TCM-specific challenges (herbal quality control, blinding difficulties). Future research should prioritize large-scale longitudinal cohorts, standardized TCM randomized controlled trials, and low-cost biomarker translation for primary care implementation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.62347/kion8631","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.62347/kion8631","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1872781","name":"The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine on immune function in patients with hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis or cirrhosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1872781","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1872781","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2026-122400","name":"Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors for diabetic neuropathy: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2026-122400","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1136/bmjopen-2026-122400","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20236525","name":"THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF ALPINIA GALANGA: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITES","source":"datacite","abstract":"Alpinia galanga (L.) willd., commonly known as greater galangal, is a prominent rhizomatous herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family with a rich history of integration into traditional medical systems, including Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The scope of this study encompasses all TCM interventions, including internal herbal formulae, topical preparations, and physical therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion, foot baths, and massage, whether these therapies are applied independently or in combination with modern medical modalities. The research is structured around the following six core questions: First, the study maps the current TCM therapeutic system for diabetic foot ulcers, identifying the specific interventions that are used independently or in combination with Western medical approaches (e.g., surgery, negative-pressure wound therapy, and antibiotics), thereby providing a panoramic technical landscape to inform clinical decision-making. Second, according to the varying severity of the ulcers (e.g., superficial wounds, deep infections, and refractory necrotic stages), it summarizes the specific indications of TCM therapies, clarifying the correspondence between syndrome differentiation and disease staging. Third, from a safety perspective, it defines the patient populations or clinical characteristics that constitute absolute contraindications to TCM therapies (such as acute suppurative infection, active bleeding, and specific drug allergies), so as to prevent inappropriate medication. Fourth, it systematically aggregates the types of adverse reactions reported during the course of various TCM treatments and their incidence rates, providing quantitative evidence for clinical risk prediction. Fifth, it elucidates the physiological and molecular mechanisms through which TCM promotes wound healing, encompassing the improvement of microcirculation, anti-inflammatory effects, immune regulation, and the promotion of angiogenesis. Sixth, by comparing clinical evidence (meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials), it objectively evaluates the clinical advantages and limitations of TCM therapies relative to Western medicine alone (e.g., antibiotics and negative-pressure wound therapy) in terms of shortening healing time, reducing amputation rates, and alleviating pain. Through this systematic evaluation, the present study is expected to: (1) construct an evidence-based framework for TCM interventions in diabetic foot ulcers, providing a reference for standardized clinical application; (2) clarify the applicability boundaries and safety thresholds of TCM therapies, assisting clinicians in optimizing treatment protocols; and (3) reveal the potential molecular targets underlying the effects of TCM, thereby laying a foundation for subsequent mechanistic research and novel drug development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/d2rpy","authors":["Yang Yige"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Nursing"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/d2rpy","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20565764","name":"Ranunculaceae as a Reservoir of Bioactive Phytochemicals: Ethnopharmacological Insights, Mechanistic Perspectives, and Drug Discovery Potential","source":"datacite","abstract":"The scientific need to develop bioactive molecules from plants as sources of mechanistically novel therapeutics has been sparked by the alarming phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance, the therapeutic limitations of the current pipeline of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the lack of innovation in the development of antibiotics.

S1P mainly acts through five high-affinity G protein-coupled S1P receptors, which are ubiquitously expressed and mediate a complex network of signaling in a cell type dependent manner. S1P receptors have become an attractive pharmacological target to interfere with S1P-mediated cellular responses, which contribute to various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Pioneering in this field was the synthesis of FTY720 (fingolimod, Gilenya) from myriocin, one of the metabolites of the fungus Isaria sinclairii known from traditional Chinese medicine for its antibacterial and energy boosting effect. Fingolimod turned out as a very potent immunomodulatory agent that subsequently passed all clinical trials successfully and is now approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Pharmacologically, fingolimod was characterized as a non-selective agonist of all of the S1P receptors (S1PR), with the exception of S1P, and in addition, as a selective S1P functional antagonist by induction of irreversible S1P internalization and degradation. Since proper lymphocyte trafficking depends on the expression of S1P on lymphocytes, the degradation of S1P leads to trapping and accumulation of lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid tissue, and consequently to a depletion of lymphocytes from the blood. Novel S1PR modulators are now being developed with a more selective receptor activation profile and improved pharmacokinetic characteristics. In this review, we will summarize the state-of-the-art approaches that target directly or indirectly S1P signaling and may be useful as novel strategies to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7892/boris.127465","authors":["Stepanovska Tanturovska, Bisera","Huwiler, Andrea"],"tags":["Autoimmune diseases Fingolimod Inflammation S1P receptor modulators"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.7892/boris.127465","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7892/boris.96406","name":"Traditional chinese medicine valuably augments therapeutic options in the treatment of climacteric syndrome","source":"datacite","abstract":"Climacteric syndrome refers to recurring symptoms such as hot flashes, chills, headache, irritability and depression. This is usually experienced by menopausal women and can be related to a hormonal reorganization in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, originating 1000s of years ago, above-mentioned symptoms can be interpreted on the basis of the philosophic diagnostic concepts, such as the imbalance of Yin and Yang, the Zang-Fu and Basic substances (e.g. Qi, Blood and Essence). These concepts postulate balance and harmonization as the principle aim of a treatment. In this context, it is not astounding that one of the most prominent ancient textbooks dating back to 500-200 BC, Huang di Neijing: The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine gives already first instructions for diagnosis and therapy of climacteric symptoms. For therapy, traditional Chinese medicine comprises five treatment principles: Chinese herbal medicine, TuiNa (a Chinese form of manual therapy), nutrition, activity (e.g. QiGong) and acupuncture (being the most widespread form of treatment used in Europe).

Various specialties in modern medicine have developed a large number of gold-standard paradigms tested by long-term clinical practice, yet lack a unified underlying analytical framework. Methods: Based on the natively and independently generated MFY three-variable steady-state model (Anchor M - Direction F - Expectation Y), this paper adopts the theoretical logical consistency test method. It selects seven mature gold-standard paradigms of modern medicine covering the full life cycle and one classic syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine to conduct a systematic isomorphism analysis of the cross-domain logical self-consistency of the MFY model. Results: All medical paradigms included in the analysis show high structural isomorphism and logical consistency with the underlying steady-state regulation logic of the MFY model. They all follow the core structure of \"Anchor-Direction-Regulation\" and the intervention path of \"Expectation Reconstruction → Direction Calibration → Anchor Manifestation\", suggesting that this model may have captured a common underlying structure for steady-state regulation of complex open systems. Conclusions: The MFY framework provides a complementary explanation for the absence of the value dimension in existing evolutionary theories, and offers a cross-disciplinary new tool for the unified analytical language across medical specialties and the decision structuring in clinical psychology. Its cross-domain universality and clinical validity await subsequent independent empirical verification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20558855","authors":["YI, Baichen"],"tags":["Psychosomatic Medicine; Expectation Mechanism; Placebo Effect; Self-Organization of Complex Systems; Systems Medicine; Evidence-Based Medicine Methodology; Personalized Precision Medicine; Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine; Mind-Body Integration; Self-Healing Mechanism; Spiral Ascension; Medical Humanities"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20558855","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/59qkj","name":"Chinese herbal medicine targeting the gut microbiota–metabolite axis in type 2 diabetes: a clinical evidence map and mechanistic credibility assessment","source":"datacite","abstract":"This project contains the protocol, search strategies, screening records, data extraction materials, evidence synthesis, and related documentation for a scoping review evaluating clinical multi-omics evidence on traditional Chinese medicine modulation of the gut microbiota–metabolite axis in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/59qkj","authors":["Luo caifen"],"tags":["Medical Sciences","Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Medicine and Health Sciences","Medical Specialties","Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism","Medical Microbiology"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2028","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/59qkj","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.14241","name":"Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Targeting Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling via the \"Lung-Gut Axis\" in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease","source":"datacite","abstract":"Pulmonary vascular remodeling is the central pathological driver of pulmonary hypertension and adverse prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Gut-derived metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and amino acid derivatives, propagate endothelial injury, proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, and pathological extracellular matrix deposition through immune dysregulation and intertwined inflammatory-oxidative stress cascades. Furthermore, we synthesize TCM-based targeted intervention strategies aimed at restoring gut homeostasis, exploring TCM formulae and bioactive compounds through modulating gut microbiota composition, enriching beneficial bacterial abundance, restoring intestinal mucosal barrier integrity, and elevating SCFA levels, which have been shown to suppress vascular inflammation, mitigate oxidative stress, and rebalance the protease-antiprotease axis, thereby ameliorating vascular remodeling. This synthesis identifies novel therapeutic targets for COPD-associated vascular complications and establishes a theoretical framework for TCM-based respiratory vascular interventions predicated on microbiota ecology modulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.14241","authors":["Rui.LUO","Jia.MU","Shenhui.QUAN","Xinlu.CHEN","Mina.GAO","Meng.LI","Xiaoya.LI","Bo.QIAO","Jiali.YUAN","Zhongshan.YANG","Yueying.WU"],"tags":["Chinese medicine and pharmacy","Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease","Lung-gut axis","Pulmonary vasculature","Traditional Chinese Medicine","Inflammatory factors","Gut microbiota and metabolites"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.14241","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7613144/v1","name":"Reimagining Primary Health Care: A Historical and Contemporary Review of Community-Based Care Models and Innovations","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract BACKGROUND Historically, community-based care has served as a foundation of health service delivery in resource-constrained settings. However, shifting demographics, rising chronic diseases burdens, and digital transformations increasingly challenge the sustainability and equity of these models. We reviewed historical as well as contemporary evidence on community-based care and provide a consolidated summary on the effectiveness and limitations of existing models; identify emerging challenges and future directions to ensure that future remains aligned with the goal of universal health coverage. METHOD Wes conducted a scoping review of available literature using the Arksey and O’Malley framework. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and grey literature from 1975 to 2025 using a combination of search terms related to community-based care models, community health workers, volunteer-based programs, or digital innovations linked to community care. The data were synthesized thematically into categories reflecting historical evolution, key achievements, challenges, and future directions. RESULTS A total of 134 documents were reviewed. Community-based care consistently improved access to essential services, particularly maternal and child health, infectious disease control, and health promotion in underserved populations. Programs led by volunteer and community health worker led programs contributed to health systems strengthening but faced persistent challenges including high attrition, limited funding, and fragmented integration. Case studies from Nepal, Ethiopia, Brazil, and Rwanda highlighted significant reductions in child mortality, improvement in maternal care, and strengthened resilience during pandemics. Emerging challenges included syndemics, demographic transitions, urbanization, and weakening social structures. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence emerged as potential tools to expand access and efficiency, though they also pose risks if deployed inequitably or without adequate regulation. CONCLUSION Community-based care remains essential for bridging gaps in health system and advancing universal health coverage. Its continued effectiveness will depend on evolving into diagonally integrated, technologically enabled, and people centered model that balances innovation with equity, trust, and cultural relevance. Long-term investment in governance, workforce training, digital infrastructure, and active community engagement will be critical to building resilience against future health crises.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7613144/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7613144/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7610425/v1","name":"Combining Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation to Demonstrate That Salidroside Alleviates Acute Lung Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis via the MAPK/GPX4 Pathway","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Objective This study aimed to combine network pharmacology with in vitro experiments to identify the key targets and potential mechanisms of salidroside (Sal) in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI). Methods Potential targets related to Sal and ALI were retrieved from the ChEMBL, SuperPRED, SwissTargetPrediction, GeneCards, OMIM, and CTD databases. Overlapping targets were imported into the STRING database and Cytoscape software to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and identify core targets. Functional enrichment analysis of these core genes, including GO and KEGG pathways, was performed using the DAVID database. Two genes, MAPK14 and GPX4, directly relevant to subsequent validation, were selected for molecular docking analysis. Furthermore, an in vitro model of ALI was established using LPS-induced alveolar type II epithelial cells to verify the protective mechanism of Sal. Results A total of 355 potential targets associated with Sal in ALI treatment were identified. In vitro experiments showed that, compared to the LPS group, the Sal group exhibited significantly reduced secretion of IL-6, ROS, p-MAPK, MDA, and Fe²⁺, along with increased GPX4 expression and attenuated lung injury. Conclusion Integrated network pharmacology and experimental validation suggest that Sal pretreatment alleviates inflammatory response and oxidative stress, likely through regulation of the MAPK/GPX4 signaling pathway, thereby providing protection against lung tissue injury.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7610425/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7610425/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6346779/v1","name":"What

TRIB2 Targeted Protein Degradation to Reverse Chemoresistance in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia","source":"preprints","abstract":"The myeloid oncogene TRIB2 is a key driver of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) pathogenesis, promoting chemoresistance and blocking differentiation through ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the C/EBPα transcription factor. Despite its stable and sometimes elevated expression across AML subtypes, TRIB2 remains a clinically-untargeted vulnerability. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation into TRIB2 degradation mechanisms using multimodal approaches, including CRISPR knockout, mutational protein stability, small molecule TRIB2 engagement and evaluation of a novel targeted protein degrader (TRIB2-PROTAC). We identify Afatinib, a multi-ERBB covalent inhibitor, as a rapid inducer of TRIB2 degradation, triggering AML cell death via an ERBB-independent pathway. Importantly, TRIB2 degradation synergized with cytarabine, the frontline AML chemotherapy, amplifying therapeutic efficacy. Mapping of TRIB2 ubiquitination sites revealed Lys-63 as critical for its own proteolytic turnover, and a Lys to Arg degradation-resistant mutant (K all R) conferred enhanced chemoresistance and increased leukaemic engraftment in vivo . CRISPR-mediated TRIB2 knockout validated an essential role in AML cell survival. Consistently, the novel TRIB2-PROTAC (compound 5K) achieved robust TRIB2 degradation and AML cell killing at low micromolar concentrations. These findings establish TRIB2 as a compelling therapeutic target in AML and demonstrate that leveraging the ubiquitin-proteasome system to degrade TRIB2 offers a promising strategy to overcome chemoresistance. This work provides strong preclinical rationale for the development of TRIB2-targeting therapies in AML.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.03.680259","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.10.03.680259","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.168784578.80184314/v1","name":"Effect of COVID-19 on autism spectrum disorders: A bibliometric analysis based on original articles","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.168784578.80184314/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.22541/au.168784578.80184314/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3808828/v1","name":"Spin practices and low reporting quality in studies on prediction model of diagnosis based on TCM information: A systematic review and evidence mapping","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3808828/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3808828/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2025.10.22.25338545","name":"Life course socio-economic position and healthy ageing: A systematic review of longitudinal studies","source":"preprints","abstract":"Background Increasing health inequalities among older adults globally illustrate the urgent need for effective interventions. Socio-economic position (SEP) may affect healthy ageing through various life course mechanisms. However, longitudinal associations between life course SEP and healthy ageing as a multidimensional construct remain unclear. Methods We conducted a comprehensive systematic review of longitudinal studies investigating the associations between life course SEP indicators and multidimensional healthy ageing outcomes. A systematic literature search was conducted across four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) from inception to April 2025. Due to the heterogeneity in the operationalisation of SEP and healthy ageing, a narrative synthesis was performed (Prospero CRD42023418728). Results 47 articles were included in the review. Across multiple SEP indicators and life stages, higher educational levels (39/43 studies) and higher income/wealth (31/36 studies) were positively associated with better healthy ageing. Occupation showed inconsistent evidence. Life-course evidence showed childhood SEP disadvantage predicted poorer later-life outcomes (13/17 studies), with cumulative multi-stage disadvantage showing additive effects (5 studies) and upward mobility conferring benefits (3 studies). These patterns manifested in three age-related inequality trajectories: widening (18/23 studies), convergence, and persistence, with education-cognitive disparities showing strongest widening effects. Cross-national evidence revealed regional specificities. Studies also identified gender moderation effects (5 studies) and examined mediating pathways (6 studies). Conclusion Education showed the most consistent protective effects, while income/wealth effects were complex. Health inequalities widened with age, highlighting lasting childhood impacts. Targeted interventions addressing early educational investment and life stage-specific strategies are needed for reducing healthy ageing inequalities.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.22.25338545","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.10.22.25338545","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3346200/v1","name":"The effects of Chinese herbal injections on patients with COVID-19: a systematic review","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3346200/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3346200/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4542564","name":"Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction Alleviates Acute Lung Injury by Inhibiting Nlrp3 Inflammasome","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4542564","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4542564","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-3281063/v1","name":"Prevalence of COVID-19 home remedy consumption among adult population in Brunei Darussalam: A cross-sectional study","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3281063/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3281063/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.170668991.13275442/v1","name":"The PI3K/AKT Pathway is Pivotal in TCM-Based Treatment of Stroke","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.170668991.13275442/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.22541/au.170668991.13275442/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.4458021","name":"Short-Term Post-COVID-19 Symptoms in Chinese Patients from 31 Provinces: A Cross-Sectional Study","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4458021","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4458021","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202308.1622.v1","name":"Diabetes and Ethnomedicine: A Comprehensive Review of Scientific Literature on Traditional Medical Practices","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202308.1622.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023","doi":"10.20944/preprints202308.1622.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.521Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.169322654.47628289/v1","name":"Do plants need sleep and also have emotions?

Any disruption in the functioning of the immune system, which is highly organized and precisely regulated, can result in the emergence of immune deficiencies, hypersensitivity reactions, or autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Under certain circumstances, the immune system generates autoantibodies that target their cells, giving rise to AIDs, including multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, hashimoto thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, etc. In such cases, the immune system cannot differentiate between foreign substances and the body's own cells. Different factors, such as genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, trigger autoimmunity. Currently, autoimmune diseases of various origins are managed using glucocorticoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressive agents, and biological treatments. Nevertheless, a comprehensive cure for these conditions continues to remain beyond our reach. Numerous herbal natural products have been investigated as potential alternative approaches for the management of autoimmune disorders. In this introductory chapter, we summarized the essential concepts of the immune system, the formation, stages, and types of autoimmune diseases, and the role of herbal medicines in the management of AIDs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010005","authors":["Cennet Ozay","Sengul Uysal","Gokhan Zengin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.954Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5772/intechopen.72711","name":"Application of Herbal Medicine as Proliferation and Differentiation Effectors of Human Stem Cells","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.72711","authors":["Preethi Vidya Udagama","Vindya Udalamaththa"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-01-30T11:42:43Z","doi":"10.5772/intechopen.72711","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.954Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101002","name":"Traditional herbal practices associated with malaria and symptoms: Mishmi tribe cohort study from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101002","authors":["Simi Talukdar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-21T16:35:35Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.954Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2016.06.003","name":"Book review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2016.06.003","authors":["Dr Edward J.

He demonstrates how active the slaves were in their own medical care and the important role faith played in the healing process. This book links each referenced plant or herb to modern scientific evidence to determine its actual worth and effects on the patients. Through his study, Dr. Covey unravels many of the complex social relationships found between the African-American slaves, Whites, folk practitioners, and patients. African-American Slave Medicine is a compelling and captivating read that will appeal to scholars of African-American history and those interested in folk medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5040/9781978744103","authors":["Herbert C.

Clinical lesions are traditionally divided according to the site infected, namely, scalp (tinea capitis), feet (tinea pedis, commonly called “athletes’ foot”), groin, inner thighs, or buttocks (tinea cruris, commonly called “jock itch”), beard (tinea barbae), hands (tinea manuum, toe nails or finger nails (tinea unguium, also called onychomycosis), face, non-bearded area (tinea faciei) and other parts of the body, such as arms, abdomen, or legs (tinea corporis). Dermatophytosis is common world-wide and is caused by species of three genera of dermatophytes, namely Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. This study presents an update of ecology of different species of dermatophytes and epidemiology of infections caused by them in the Caribbean. Possibility of herbal therapy of these infections as an alternative treatment is also dealt with. Methods: A thorough search of literature was made using PubMed, MEDLINE, Biomed Lib, Med Facts, and different sets of key words, viz. dermatophytes, tineas in Caribbean, occurrence in animals, soil etc. Results: It was revealed that incidence of dermatophytic infections and their epidemiologic characteristics depend on social, geographic, and environmental factors and may change with passage of time. For instance, prior to year 2000, the major cause of tinea capitis in North America for 100 years was Microsporum canis followed by M. audouinii; Since 1950 Trichophyton tonsurans has advanced from Mexico and the Caribbean to be currently a major cause of tinea capitis in North America. The two dermatophytes Microsporum gypseum and M. fulvum, and several Chrysosporium species have been frequently isolated form soils in different countries in the Caribbean. Conclusions: There is almost complete lack of information on human infections due to dermatophytes in several Caribbean countries. The preponderant occurrence of M. fulvum in Anguilla soils with comparatively rare isolation of M. gypseum is a significant observation.

Although there has been significant advancement in the pharmacologic therapies, complementary strategies that can potentially target the underlying mechanisms and complement the conventional treatment are growing in interest among numerous patients and providers. This narrative review used systematic search methods in PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect to select herbal medicines and nutraceuticals that were studied for COPD and asthma, with a specific selection using objective pulmonary functionality parameters (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC). Analysis of evidence identified multiple interventions with a clinically significant effect, such as Astragalus membranaceus , Rhodiola rosea , nanocurcumin, Bufei granule, and Wuqinxi breathing exercises, most of which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. The other agents, including Withania somnifera, Maxingshigan decoction, and L-carnitine, exhibited significant but inconsistent efficacy, whereas compounds like N-acetylcysteine, resveratrol, and cannabis had little effect. Mechanistic research indicates NF-kB, MAPK, Nrf2, and cytokine signaling pathways as typical therapeutic targets. Despite the limitations of methodological heterogeneity, the results indicate the judicious use of the choice of herbal and nutraceutical interventions in comprehensive respiratory care. Such supportive interventions can be patient-centered, enhance medication compliance, and offer an added effect in combination with evidence-based pharmacologic therapies. The quality of therapeutic application of the drug needs to be established through further high-quality therapeutic trials in order to determine the safety, dosing, and long-term outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0118743064454037260510201039","authors":["Al Obaidi G","Saleeby Y","Varon J","Durzynski N","Tuszynki J","Halma

Advancing network pharmacology and herbal medicine discovery with LLM-based multi-agent systems.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Network pharmacology has emerged as a pivotal approach for deciphering the complex \"multi-component, multi-target\" mechanisms underlying traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, despite extensive research efforts, a comprehensive and intelligent automated analytical framework remains elusive. Large language model (LLM)-based intelligent agent systems demonstrate robust capabilities in semantic understanding, logical inference, and task orchestration. In this study, we present the first LLM-powered multi-agent system specifically designed for network pharmacology and herbal medicine research, namely TCM-Agent. The system demonstrates core capabilities including autonomous knowledge reasoning, data analysis, interactive visualization, as well as literature retrieval and validation. Benchmark evaluations across 100 validated TCM studies demonstrated that the TCM-Agent demonstrated competitive performance in answer accuracy, literature retrieval precision, and computational efficiency. Crucially, the TCM-Agent system exhibited robust and high performance across evaluated foundation model platforms (DeepSeek-v3, Qwen-plus, and GLM-4-plus). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed across the various foundation model platforms, indicating the system's adaptability and stability when integrated with different LLM. These findings establish TCM-Agent as a robust system that provides an advanced framework, facilitating standardization, intelligent transformation, and evidence-based methodologies in network pharmacology and herbal medicine research. Consequently, TCM-Agent enhances the intelligent analysis of TCM formulas, aids in bioactive compound discovery, and establishes foundational infrastructure for next-generation network pharmacology, thereby advancing research in the field.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpha.2026.101581","authors":["Wang X","Wang Y","Dong W","Guo S","Wang K","He S","Li H","Lyu J","Liu M","Zhang L","Zhu Y","Peng Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jpha.2026.101581","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.imr.2026.101322","name":"Ameliorative effects of Wiryeongtang (herbal medicine) on cardiorenal complications via modulation of inflammatory and fibrotic responses in diabetic mice.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imr.2026.101322","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.imr.2026.101322","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7748347/v1","name":"Exploring Gender Variations in Health Literacy and Herbal Medicine Use Among Malaysian Adults","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7748347/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7748347/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-9708783/v1","name":"A Cross-Sectional Study of Herbal Medicine Utilization prevalence and Perceptions Among Diabetic Patients: Implications for Healthcare Integration in Weija-Gbawe Municipality, Ghana.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9708783/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9708783/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.846Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.biortech.2026.134638","name":"Upcycling herbal medicine waste into functional biochar catalysts featuring high mineralization and thermal regenerability for advanced water treatment.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2026.134638","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.biortech.2026.134638","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-30616-y","name":"Prevalence, associated factors, and safety implications of prehospital herbal medicine use in Southwestern, Ethiopia.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-30616-y","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-30616-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2147/dddt.s574142","name":"Chinese Herbal Medicine in Ulcerative Colitis-Associated Carcinogenesis Treatment: Mechanisms, Progress, and Future Directions.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) is a highly prevalent malignancy of the digestive tract. The close association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and CAC makes inhibiting this carcinogenic transformation a critical preventive goal. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories of \"dampness-heat stasis\" and \"latent pathogen-induced deficiency\", this review systematically explores the pathological process of ulcerative colitis associated carcinogenesis (UCAC) and its interpretation in TCM. We conducted a comprehensive literature search in CNKI and PubMed databases (2020-2025), systematically analyzing about 79 relevant studies to summarize the clinical applications of TCM in preventing and treating UCAC progression, including oral and topical herbal therapies, as well as non-pharmacological interventions such as acupuncture. Furthermore, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms of TCM interventions in UCAC, with a focus on gut microbiota modulation and key inflammatory signaling pathways (eg, NF-κB, IL-6/JAK2/STAT3), offering new translational perspectives. The novelty of this review is twofold: firstly, it provides the first systematic synthesis of research progress on therapeutic methods, encompassing oral and topical herbal formulations as well as acupuncture, and molecular mechanisms of TCM for UCAC. Secondly, it advances the field by analyzing TCM theories through the lens of modern medicine, comparing TCM's holistic approach with Western medicine's targeted paradigm, and proposing an integrated \"gut microbiota-metabolite-target\" research framework. This framework aims to furnish a theoretical foundation for both the modernization of TCM and the development of combined therapeutic strategies that leverage the strengths of both medical systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2147/dddt.s574142","authors":["Gu F","Chen Z","Lim X","Zhang T","Yuan J","Li L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.2147/dddt.s574142","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0343124","name":"Herbal medicine use and renal dysfunction among persons living with HIV on Tenofovir-based ART in Kampala, Uganda.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0343124","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0343124","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.122337","name":"Corrigendum to \"Areca catechu L. procyanidins alleviate pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing the TGF-β/Smad/ERK cascade: Validation of traditional herbal medicine\".

Randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion criteria of CHM for blepharitis. Two investigators independently screened the title, abstract, and full-text of studies, extracted data, and conducted the quality evaluation of included studies according to the Cochrane Handbook. R software version 4.3.0; (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was used to conduct statistical analysis. A total of 12 eligible studies were included. The information of 816 patients with 1126 eyes was collected in both groups. Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the CHM group is significantly higher (risk ratio = 1.29, 95% confidence interval: 1.20-1.38, P < .01). The tear breakup time (standardized mean difference = 0.65, 95% confidence interval: 0.65-1.11, Z = 2.79, P = .005) of the CHM group was also significantly improved compared with the control group. However, the difference in Schirmer I test was not significant between groups. In addition, no serious adverse reaction was reported in both groups. Conventional therapy combined with the CHM, mainly including fumigation, eye bathing, and wet compress, shows a better therapeutic effect on treating blepharitis compared with conventional therapy alone.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000046727","authors":["Sisi Tang","Yuanlong Sun","Shuyu Xiao","Ying Yu","Tang S","Sun Y","Xiao S","Yu Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000046727","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2025.1627714","name":"Herbal medicine for asymptomatic hyperuricemia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2025.1627714","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2025.1627714","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/healthcare14060711","name":"Efficacy and Safety of Oral Herbal Medicine Combined with Diosmectite for Pediatric Rotavirus Gastroenteritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background/Objectives : Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in children and is commonly associated with prolonged diarrhea and dehydration. Herbal medicine (HM) is frequently used in combination with diosmectite in clinical practice, but the effectiveness of this combined approach has not been systematically evaluated. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of HM combined with diosmectite in pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis. Methods : We searched 12 databases from inception to 10 December 2025. Randomized controlled trials comparing HM plus diosmectite with diosmectite alone in children with rotavirus gastroenteritis were included. Study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment were independently performed by two researchers. Meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated with GRADEpro. Results : A total of 26 RCTs involving 2876 children were included. Compared with diosmectite alone, HM combined with diosmectite significantly reduced the duration of diarrhea (SMD -1.31; 95% CI -1.63 to -0.99), improved the total effective rate (RR 1.25; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.31), decreased the incidence of adverse events (RR 0.24; 95% CI 0.06 to 0.92), and a shorter length of hospital stay (MD -1.53; 95% CI -1.73 to -1.33). The certainty of evidence ranged from moderate to very low. Conclusions : HM combined with diosmectite may offer a potential adjunctive therapy for pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis. However, more robust and high-quality evidence is required to further substantiate its efficacy and safety.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare14060711","authors":["Cho JH","Kim EJ","Sung

We conducted a 20-year bibliometric analysis (2006-2025 December 31) of 6054 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and CNKI employing R packages and VOSviewer to map publication trends, collaborations, thematic evolution, and disease foci. Annual output surged from 1 article in 2006 to 1268 in 2024, representing a 1268-fold increase over the 19-year period (2006-2024). By December 31, 2025, the output for 2025 had already reached 1835 articles, indicating sustained momentum. China (46.8%), India (24.7%), and Saudi Arabia (9.9%) dominated research, with robust South-South collaborations (e.g., India-Saudi Arabia: weight = 229). Key journals included Journal of Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics (503 articles) and Phytomedicine (185 articles). Methodological shifts revealed progression from docking (2022) toward AI-driven bioinformatics (2024). Disease focus pivoted from chronic conditions (pre-2020) to infectious diseases (36.63% during COVID-19), then rebounded to cancer (+ 193% for breast cancer) and neurodegeneration (+ 182%).This computational renaissance positions MD simulations-augmented by AI and robust cross-regional collaboration-as indispensable for modernizing TCM. Future work must prioritize protocol standardization, open-data platforms that leverage global computational strengths, and translational validation to unlock TCM's full phytopharmacological potential.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44446-026-00080-4","authors":["Ye L","Liu Y","Peng X","He M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s44446-026-00080-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3748/wjg.v31.i44.113017","name":"Application of traditional Chinese medicine integrated therapy based on Tuina and herbal medicine in pediatric diarrhea.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3748/wjg.v31.i44.113017","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.3748/wjg.v31.i44.113017","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/s0192415x25500739","name":"Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Bioactive Peptides from Chinese Herbal Medicine: A Review.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x25500739","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x25500739","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158163","name":"Chinese authentic herbal medicine Ganhuangcao from Southwest China mitigates influenza virus infection by inhibiting the host JAK2/STAT1 signaling pathway.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158163","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158163","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-37500-3","name":"Tibetan herbal medicine improved the health status of calves by regulating the antioxidant ability, inflammatory reaction and microbiota of female Yaks.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-37500-3","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-37500-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.003","name":"Yinchenhao Decoction, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.003","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121202","name":"Evaluation of the association of pseudoaldosteronism with licorice-containing herbal medicine using the Japanese adverse drug event report (JADER) database.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Herbal medicine in Japan is known as Kampo preparation, a traditional medicine that combines multiple medicinal herbs and is widely used in medical practice.

Psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress commonly affect women, particularly during pregnancy, and can significantly influence both maternal and neonatal outcomes. In many regions of the world, especially in low- and middle-income countries, women frequently rely on herbal medicine to manage health conditions during pregnancy, including mental health challenges. Herbal remedies such as chamomile, ginger, lavender, and ginseng are widely used due to their cultural acceptance, perceived safety, affordability, and accessibility. This study examines the impact of herbal medicine on the mental health and well-being of pregnant women. A systematic review approach guided by PRISMA was employed. Relevant literature was sourced from databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL, focusing on studies published between 2015 and 2025, with particular emphasis on recent works from 2020 onward. Findings indicate that certain herbal treatments may help reduce symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and emotional distress, thereby contributing to improved well-being. However, concerns persist regarding safety, including potential herb-drug interactions and the lack of standardized dosage guidelines. The study concludes that while herbal medicine holds therapeutic potential, caution is necessary in its use. It recommends that healthcare providers should actively educate pregnant women on the safe use of herbal remedies and promote informed decision-making in maternal healthcare practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19387010","authors":["Asuquo Effiong Offiong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.19387010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19387011","name":"Effects of Herbal Medicine on the Mental Health and Well-being of Potential Mothers: A Systematic Review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Maternal mental health is a critical component of reproductive health and the overall well-being of women of reproductive age.

Herbal remedies such as chamomile, ginger, lavender, and ginseng are widely used due to their cultural acceptance, perceived safety, affordability, and accessibility. This study examines the impact of herbal medicine on the mental health and well-being of pregnant women. A systematic review approach guided by PRISMA was employed. Relevant literature was sourced from databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL, focusing on studies published between 2015 and 2025, with particular emphasis on recent works from 2020 onward. Findings indicate that certain herbal treatments may help reduce symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and emotional distress, thereby contributing to improved well-being. However, concerns persist regarding safety, including potential herb-drug interactions and the lack of standardized dosage guidelines. The study concludes that while herbal medicine holds therapeutic potential, caution is necessary in its use. It recommends that healthcare providers should actively educate pregnant women on the safe use of herbal remedies and promote informed decision-making in maternal healthcare practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19387011","authors":["Asuquo Effiong Offiong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.19387011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21226713","name":"Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Gel for Management of Mouth Ulcer","source":"datacite","abstract":"This research is about creating and testing a polyherbal gel for the treatment of mouth ulcers, which are a frequent symptom of oral inflammation, pain, and discomfort.

Despite widespread use across sub-Saharan Africa, empirical evidence from primary healthcare settings in Ondo West Local Government Area remains scarce. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and prevalence of herbal medicine use among pregnant women attending primary health centers (PHCs) in Ondo West, Ondo State, Nigeria. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, 304 pregnant women attending antenatal care at ten selected PHCs were recruited. A structured, pretested questionnaire covering sociodemographics, knowledge, attitudes, and herbal medicine use was administered. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 30, with descriptive statistics presented as frequencies and percentages. Results: A total of 254 (83.6%) respondents had heard of herbal medicine, but only 139 (45.7%) demonstrated good knowledge. Family (31.9%) and friends (30.6%) were the primary sources of information. More than half (51.6%) held a positive attitude toward herbal medicine, driven largely by cultural acceptability (53.3% strongly agreed). The prevalence of herbal medicine use during the current pregnancy was 41.1%, with neem, bitter leaf, and ginger being the most commonly used herbs. Only 16.4% of users disclosed their use to healthcare providers. Conclusion: Despite high awareness, knowledge of the risks of herbal medicine during pregnancy is poor. Cultural acceptability drives use, while low disclosure to healthcare providers is alarming. Integrated antenatal health education, culturally sensitive counselling, and policy regulation of traditional medicine are urgently needed to safeguard maternal and fetal outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20268776","authors":["Ibrahim Dawud Oyedemi","Akinniyi Rotimi Joseph","Oladejo Oluwatoyin Temitope","Oladiran Isdaiah Olagunju","Wokoma, Victoria Eleba","Ibrahim Yetunde Sadiat","Ojo Abel Adeniji","Oladimeji Jeilat Folashade"],"tags":["Herbal medicine, Pregnancy, Knowledge, Attitude, Nigeria, Primary healthcare, Antenatal care."],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20268776","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20342020","name":"Comprehensive Review: - Therapeutic Potential of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis and Calotropis gigantea in Rheumatoid Arthritis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, cartilage destruction, joint deformity, pain, and reduced quality of life.

More than 80 percent of the world population still relies on traditional medicine systems, which are mostly based on herbal remedies. Furthermore, about 35 percent of the currently available medicines have been developed using natural products as a lead compound. One of the major limitations for the clinical use of natural products, both as isolated compounds and as complex herbal extracts, is represented by the limited knowledge of their pharmacokinetic properties. Indeed, several experimental models, including in vivo, cell-free and cell-based, together with in silico methods have been developed for the evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters, such as gastrointestinal stability, intestinal absorption, and hepatic metabolism. However, these methods are barely applied to natural products, particularly to herbal extracts. The main difficulty in the study of pharmacokinetic parameters of herbal products originates from their complex nature: a herbal product, in fact, is composed of hundreds of molecules. As a consequence, the choice of a marker compound for pharmacokinetic studies is crucial but sometimes difficult. Moreover, the mixture of constituents in an herbal extract could potentially modulate the biological properties of single natural products. On this basis, extrapolation of pharmacokinetic parameters of herbal extracts by only relying on data acquired for single compounds could be a challenging issue. Obtaining pharmacokinetic data on different natural products and herbal extracts is, hence, an urgent task. Particularly, ability to predict at least several of these parameters by using fast and cost-effective computational tools will be of great benefit to the pharmaceutical and food supplement research and industry. In this study, we used a simple cell-free method to evaluate the effect of in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion on the stability, bioaccessibility, and biological effects of several natural products, belonging to different classes of polyphenols, and herbal extracts containing them. We also used the Caco-2 cell permeability assay to evaluate the intestinal absorption of mixtures of compounds administered at the same time. In most cases, we found that administration of herbal extracts protect its constituents from degradation induced by the digestive processes, while intestinal bioavailability is often reduced when using mixtures of compounds. Moreover, an in silico virtual screening protocol based on molecular docking and pharmacophore modeling was used to identify new putative P-glycoprotein ligands from natural sources. The computational tool was first checked for its ability to discern between known P-gp binders and non-binders, and then used to prioritize compounds from commercial sources of natural compounds. Assays on selected compounds will provide full validation of the virtual screening approach. The overall aim of this work is to enlarge the knowledge on pharmacokinetic parameters of natural products and herbal extracts to be used for setting up a computational model able to predict the pharmacokinetics parameters of complex mixtures of compounds.","url":"https://doi.org/10.25434/governa-paolo_phd2021","authors":["Governa, Paolo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.25434/governa-paolo_phd2021","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21299409","name":"A Review On Ethnomedicinal And Natural Products In Leucoderma Therapy","source":"datacite","abstract":"Leucoderma (vitiligo), known as Shwitra in Ayurveda, is a chronic acquired depigmenting disorder characterized by the selective destruction of melanocytes, resulting in well-defined white patches on the skin.

Our objective was to evaluate the benefits and harms of herbal medicines for preventing and treating ARIs using the evidence from published systematic reviews. Methods: We conducted electronic searches in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. We also searched Google Scholar and the bibliography of relevant studies. We included reviews of herbal medicines or herbal medicine combinations for the prevention or treatment of ARIs. Our primary outcomes were infection rates, symptom resolution, symptom duration, and symptom severity. We used AMSTAR-2 criteria to assess the quality of included reviews. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts, assessed quality, and extracted the data. Results: We included 18 reviews evaluating the effectiveness of 16 different herbal medicines. 13 were rated high quality, and five were rated moderate quality. Seven reviews of ginseng, ivy leaf extract, echinacea, eucalyptus, and black elderberry showed some benefits in the management of ARIs. The evidence from the remaining eleven reviews was either insufficient or inconclusive. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Herbal medicines show modest benefits for managing ARIs, but the evidence remains largely limited by methodological flaws in the primary studies. While some treatments appear promising, current data are insufficient for strong clinical recommendations. High-quality, large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm efficacy, assess safety, and guide clinical use.","url":"https://doi.org/10.11575/prism/51818","authors":["Aghajafari, Fariba","Choi, Brian","Bhatt, Devansh","Maltoni, Susanna","Thomas, Elizabeth T.","Rosca, Elena C.","Gandini, Sara","Plüddemann, Annette","Heneghan, Carl J.","Conly, John M.","Jefferson, Tom","Onakpoya, Igho J."],"tags":["Herbal Medicines","Acute Respiratory Infection","Systematic Review"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.11575/prism/51818","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20465484","name":"COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW STUDY ON APRAJITA CLITORIA TERNATEA L.","source":"datacite","abstract":"Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as Aprajita or Butterfly Pea, is a perennial medicinal herb belonging to the Fabaceae family and is widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions. The plant has been extensively utilized in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani for the management of various diseases and health disorders. Owing to its remarkable therapeutic value and diverse pharmacological properties, Aprajita has gained increasing scientific attention in recent years. Different parts of the plant including flowers, roots, leaves, stems, and seeds are reported to possess medicinal importance and are traditionally used in the treatment of neurological disorders, skin infections, inflammation, respiratory diseases, urinary disorders, fever, and digestive problems. The present review provides a comprehensive overview of the botanical profile, phytochemical constituents, traditional uses, pharmacological activities, and therapeutic potential of Clitoria ternatea. Phytochemical investigations have revealed the presence of several biologically active compounds such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, saponins, triterpenoids, phenolic compounds, and steroids. Among these constituents, anthocyanins known as ternatins are primarily responsible for the characteristic blue coloration of the flowers and contribute significantly to the antioxidant potential of the plant. Experimental and pharmacological studies have demonstrated that Aprajita exhibits a wide range of biological activities including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, analgesic, antipyretic, anticancer, immunomodulatory, and wound-healing properties. The antioxidant activity of the plant helps in neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress associated with chronic diseases and aging. Antimicrobial studies have reported inhibitory effects against several pathogenic bacteria and fungi, supporting its traditional use in skin infections and wound management. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the plant contribute to its usefulness in relieving pain, swelling, and inflammatory conditions. Aprajita is also widely recognized as a brain tonic in traditional medicine due to its memory-enhancing and neuroprotective effects. Several studies suggest that the plant may improve learning ability, cognitive performance, and mental health by protecting neuronal cells from oxidative damage. In addition, antidiabetic investigations indicate that plant extracts may assist in lowering blood glucose levels and improving glucose metabolism. Hepatoprotective studies further demonstrate its ability to protect liver tissues against toxin-induced damage. Apart from medicinal applications, the natural blue pigment obtained from the flowers has gained importance in food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries as a natural coloring agent. Herbal teas and functional beverages prepared from the flowers are increasingly popular because of their health-promoting properties and antioxidant content. Although numerous preclinical studies support the therapeutic potential of Clitoria ternatea, further clinical investigations, toxicity evaluations, and standardization studies are necessary to confirm its safety, efficacy, and therapeutic applications in modern healthcare systems. Overall, the plant represents a promising source of bioactive compounds with significant pharmaceutical and industrial potential, highlighting its importance in herbal medicine and future drug development research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20465484","authors":["Priya Singh1*, Dr. Paras Kumar Prajapati2, Dr. Pushpendra Kannojia3, Ms. Anshika Choudhary4"],"tags":["Clitoria ternatea L, antimicrobial activity, Fabaceae, extraction, traditional use, phytochemistry herbal."],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20465484","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20465485","name":"COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW STUDY ON APRAJITA CLITORIA TERNATEA L.","source":"datacite","abstract":"Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as Aprajita or Butterfly Pea, is a perennial medicinal herb belonging to the Fabaceae family and is widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions.

Due to the patient's schedule, an all-oral Ayurvedic treatment regimen was initiated over two menstrual cycles consisting of Rakta Yog, Sonamukhi, Shankha Vati, Paripathadi Kadha, Rajapravartini Vati, and Chitrakadi Vati. Post-treatment pelvic imaging demonstrated complete disappearance of the left ovarian lesion alongside reduced right ovarian volume. Although these clinical outcomes were positive, functional hemorrhagic cysts are known to regress spontaneously over time. Therefore, while this case highlights a successful conservative management path, larger prospective trials are necessary to validate the specific therapeutic contribution of these herbal interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21508731","authors":["Dr. Sajagane Neha Chandrakant","Dr. Mehere Seema Chandrakant"],"tags":["Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst; Ayurvedic medicine; Conservative management; Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD); Rakta Gulma; Oral herbal therapy."],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.21508731","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21508732","name":"Conservative Clinical Management of a Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst Using Oral Ayurvedic Medicine: A Case Report","source":"datacite","abstract":"Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts commonly result from localized bleeding into a functional vascularized corpus luteum or anovulatory follicle following ovulation.

Conventional treatments such as antibiotics, retinoids, and benzoyl peroxide may produce side effects including irritation, dryness, and antibiotic resistance, creating a need for safer herbal alternatives. The present study aimed to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal anti-acne gel containing extracts of green tea (Camellia sinensis), neem (Azadirachta indica), turmeric (Curcuma longa), aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), and licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), selected for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-healing properties. The herbal extracts were prepared using aqueous and hydroalcoholic extraction methods and incorporated into a Carbopol 940 gel base. The formulated gel was evaluated for physicochemical parameters such as appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, and stability. The findings revealed that the gel exhibited a smooth texture, satisfactory spreadability, acceptable viscosity, a skin-compatible pH of 5.55, and good stability without any significant changes during storage. Therefore, the developed polyherbal anti-acne gel may be considered a safe, stable, and effective herbal option for the management of acne vulgaris.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21156959","authors":["Rahul Tekale*, Palash Mundada, Dattatray Salunke, Sachin Farkade, Sachin Lanjewar, Dr. Y.

Methods. We revisit the theoretical background of induced demand and attempt to explain the differences in marginal psychic cost for both types of doctors, considering the role of opportunism. The more integrative approach to herbal medicine by doctors poses a challenge for insurance reviewers in assessing treatment results and denying reimbursement. The study examines the hypothesis that the opportunistic behavior of herbal medicine doctors is more prevalent than that of medical doctors, using the recently developed decomposition method. Results. The results reveal a significant structural difference between herbal and conventional medicine at the high quantile of medical utilization. Conclusions. It suggests that medical services are provided more structurally in herbal medicine than in regular medicine when a patient seeks medical care for the same accident injury.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.175373361.10950253/v1","authors":["Changwoo Lee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.22541/au.175373361.10950253/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-8693251/v1","name":"Chinese herbal medicine treats COVID-19 by promoting self-healing power and balancing immune response: A functional classification analysis integrating molecular targets and pathways","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-8693251/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8693251/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.846Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.175586414.43030875/v1","name":"Challenges and Strategies in Conducting a Randomized Controlled Trial of Herbal Medicine in Cancer Patients in Low-Resource Settings","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.175586414.43030875/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.22541/au.175586414.43030875/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202411.0791.v1","name":"The Sustainable Power of Herbal Medicine: Bridging Tradition and Ecology","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202411.0791.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.20944/preprints202411.0791.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7115740/v1","name":"Phytochemical and biological studies of the hydroethanolic extract of Pteleopsis suberosa and Piliostigma thonningii used in herbal medicine in Togo","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-7115740/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7115740/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202406.0353.v1","name":"Herbal Medicine for Hypertension: A Review of Potential Therapeutics","source":"preprints","abstract":"Hypertension is a global public health challenge, with a high prevalence across various regions and significant implications for cardiovascular risk.

The methodology involved a systematic review of articles that discuss herbal therapeutics for hypertension, focusing on their efficacy compared to placebo and standard treatments. The findings suggest that certain nutraceuticals, such as garlic, hawthorn, and CoQ10, can significantly reduce SBP, presenting a viable option for managing hypertension. This review underscores the need for further research to validate these findings and optimize herbal treatment strategies, potentially expanding the use of these natural products in clinical practice.

Intelligence for Post-Marketing Pharmacovigilance of Herbal and Botanical Medicines: A Scoping Review and the MIAHPV Framework","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Abstract Background Herbal medicines are used together with prescription drugs by many patients across multiple clinical settings, yet the global pharmacovigilance reporting databases, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), WHO VigiBase, EudraVigilance, and India's Pharmacovigilance Programme (PvPI), contain the herbal product individual case safety reports (ICSRs) characterized by significant botanical identity variability or inconsistency, co-medication disclosure gaps, and severe underreporting of the data. The machine learning and natural language processing methods have transformed signal detection for conventional pharmaceutical products but haven’t been applied to herbal product surveillance in any systematic way. Objective This review maps published artificial intelligence and machine learning methods applied to both herbal and botanical product pharmacovigilance signal detection, characterises the structural barriers in data quality that constrain their application, and also introduces the Minimum Information for AI-Assisted Herbal Pharmacovigilance (MIAHPV), a newly proposed 7-point framework to evaluate how ready herbal ICSRs are for AI-based analysis. Methods The review followed PRISMA ScR guidelines and was based on searches in PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library, covering studies from January 2010 to March 2026, supplemented by a grey literature search; database access was limited to freely available sources as the author is an independent undergraduate researcher without institutional subscription access to Embase, Scopus, or Web of Science. We focused on studies where artificial intelligence or machine learning had been used with pharmacovigilance data on herbal or botanical products. We also included papers that discussed data quality problems, especially where these issues could make it harder to detect signals in herbal ICSRs. A structured approach was then used to develop the MIAHPV framework criteria, based on the needs of AI methods and the common data quality gaps identified in herbal ICSRs across the selected studies. Results Across the studies we reviewed, including seven studies identified through our own database search that applied AI or NLP methods to herbal or dietary supplement safety data, we did not find any that applied AI-based signal detection specifically to herbal product ICSRs as the main exposure, which points to a clear gap in the current methods. Three common data quality issues came up repeatedly: inconsistent reporting of botanical identity, incomplete information on co-medications, and general underreporting. When comparing different regions, we also noticed that regulatory approaches to coding herbal ICSRs vary across agencies such as the FDA, EMA, WHO UMC, and CDSCO. Based on these findings, the MIAHPV framework outlines seven practical criteria. These include completeness of botanical identity, disclosure of co-medications, use of MedDRA-coded outcomes, reporter qualification, product authentication, plausibility of time to onset, and an initial causality assessment. Using these criteria, herbal ICSRs can be grouped into three levels based on how suitable they are for AI-based analysis. Conclusions AI-based approaches to pharmacovigilance in herbal medicine appear promising, but their use is currently limited by widespread data quality issues in existing reports. The MIAHPV framework offers a starting point by defining a minimum set of information that can support both improving existing data and guiding future reporting systems. The next step will be to test this framework using real-world ICSR datasets at the national level.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-10181112/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-10181112/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:08.955Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.846Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.2.20123/v1","name":"Herbal

Methods: From the beginning to August 2020, 8 electronic databases will be searched. Two of our researchers will independently conduct research selection, data extraction, and risk assessment of bias. We will use Review Manager 5.3 software for meta-analysis and heterogeneity assessment. In addition, we will use the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation to evaluate the evidence quality. Results: This study will demonstrate an evidence-based review of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for constipation after cancer chemotherapy. Conclusion: The study will provide clear evidence to assess the effectiveness and side effects of TCM for constipation after cancer chemotherapy.

Search the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), Chinese Academic Journal Online Publishing Database (CNKI), Wanfang full-text database, Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and manually search for randomized controlled clinical trials related to traditional Chinese medicine bath treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in conference papers, with a time limit from the date of establishment to October 2024. Two trained researchers independently screened literature and collected research data based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They used the bias risk assessment tool provided by the Cochrane Collaboration and RevMan 5.3 software to evaluate the quality of the included literature and conduct meta-analysis. The traditional Chinese medicine formulas involved in the included literature were entered into the \"Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform (V2.3.4)\" to explore the medication rules of traditional Chinese medicine bath treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Meta-Analysis: A total of 34 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were obtained on the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia with traditional Chinese medicine baths, involving 7965 patients. Among them, 4021 patients were in the experimental group and 3944 patients were in the control group. The total effective rate of traditional Chinese medicine bath combined with conventional treatment in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is better than that of conventional treatment alone; Compared with conventional treatment alone, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine bath and conventional treatment can reduce the total bilirubin level and shorten the treatment time in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, the traditional Chinese medicine formulas often contain drugs with bitter and cold flavors. The method is to clear heat and dampness, promote bile flow and eliminate jaundice. While clearing liver and gallbladder dampness and heat, the spleen and stomach are also taken into account. The use of bitter and cold drugs is effective in regulating the pathogenic factors of dampness and heat. The medication reflects the use of the method of inhibiting wood and supporting soil to regulate the liver and spleen, and according to the changes in the disease, combined with the symptoms of the child, it is treated accordingly","url":"https://doi.org/10.33140/jcrc.10.01.01","authors":["Xuanyin Zhao","Wei Sun","Yan Wang","Yang Zhang","Dan Li","Limei Geng","Yang Yang","Zexiang Wu","Haiyang Yu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-13T09:26:58Z","doi":"10.33140/jcrc.10.01.01","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/2022/7487452","name":"Application of PRP in Chloasma: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background. Chloasma is a common skin pigment disorder. Treatment of chloasma has been challenging, often unsatisfactory, and difficult to avoid recurrence. PRP is a new treatment for chloasma, but there is no consensus on its use. Lingyun Zhao’s team recently reported a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of PRP in the treatment of chloasma, which is consistent with our ideas, but we will elaborate on the application of PRP in chloasma from a deeper and more comprehensive perspective. Before we started this study, we had registered with Prospero as CRD42021233721. Methods. The authors searched the public medical network, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Science Network. The clinical trials registry ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for relevant publications to June 2021. The results showed the area and severity of chloasma (MASI) or revised MASI (mMASI) score. Results. Three RCTs, one nonrandomized controlled study, and four were prospective before and after self-controlled studies met the inclusive criteria. Intradermal PRP injections significantly improved chloasma as indicated by the significant decrease MASI (average balance -6.71, 95% CI -8.99 to -4.33) and mMASI scores (average balance -2.94, 95% CI -4.81 to -1.07). The adverse reactions were mild, and there were no significant long-term adverse events. Conclusive. The data can reflect the effectiveness and safety of PRP therapy for chloasma. RCTs are needed to determine effective treatment parameters, and long-term follow-up should be included to better clarify the efficacy and side effects of PRP in treating chloasma.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/7487452","authors":["Tinghan Deng","Fengrui Cheng","Shanshan Guo","Hongbin Cheng","Jingping

Psoralea corylifolia L. (PCL), referred to as “Bu-gu-zhi” in Chinese, has great medicinal values since ancient times. PCL is the dried ripe fruit of Psoralea corylifolia L., which has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of kidney-yang deficiency, enuresis and urinary frequency, chills and pain of the waist and knees, dawn diarrhea and vitiligo. In this paper, a systematic of the botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, quality control and pharmacokinetics of PCL was presented, along with future research directions. According to the results, PCL contains approximately 163 chemical components, including coumarins, flavonoids, monoterpene phenols, benzofurans, glycosides, lipids, fatty acids, and volatile oils. PCL and its active ingredients have a variety of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, antitumor, antiosteoporosis, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory. Further study of quality control standards and potential mechanisms of PCL is also needed. In addition, more toxicological studies will also contribute to the progress of clinical trials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13020-022-00704-6","authors":["Lele Chen","Shuguang Chen","Peng Sun","Xinyue Liu","Zhaoshuang Zhan","Jiafeng Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-01-10T07:03:30Z","doi":"10.1186/s13020-022-00704-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3736/jcim20060525","name":"Review and reflection on history of English translation of traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3736/jcim20060525","authors":["Dengfeng Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2007-12-20T07:20:24Z","doi":"10.3736/jcim20060525","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10143-024-02314-2","name":"Efficacy of growth factor gene–modified stem cells for motor function after spinal cord injury in rodents: a systematic review and meta‑analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10143-024-02314-2","authors":["Wen-Ya Shang","Ya-Feng Ren","Bing LI","Xiao-Meng Huang","Zhi-Lan Zhang","Jing Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-19T03:02:27Z","doi":"10.1007/s10143-024-02314-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/001c.89983","name":"Review of Traditional Chinese Herbs Used in the Clinical Treatment of Canine Parvovirus Infection","source":"crossref","abstract":"Chinese medicinal herbs that have appeared useful for prevention and treatment of viral diseases and in particular, canine viruses, have attracted research attention in recent years.

We aimed to systematically assess the efficacy and safety of Danhong injection (DHI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Methods . We searched several electrical databases and hand searched several Chinese medical journals. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DHI plus conventional western medicine with conventional western medicine plus placebo and RCTs comparing DHI plus conventional western medicine with conventional western medicine were retrieved. Study screening, data extraction, quality assessment, and data analysis were conducted in accordance with the Cochrane standards. Results . 13 RCTs enrolling 979 patients were included. Danhong injection could significantly reduce the risk of mortality, recurrent angina, arrhythmia, and heart failure. In addition, DHI was associated with improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and reperfusion. No significant difference of DHI was found on recurrent acute myocardial infarction. However, the safety of DHI remained unknown for limited data. Conclusion . DHI might be a potentially efficacious treatment for AMI patients. Nevertheless, the safety of DHI remained uncertain for limited information. Due to the fact that the overall quality of all included studies is generally low, more high quality RCTs are expected to validate the efficacy and safety of DHI for AMI patients.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/646530","authors":["Pengda Liao","Lei Wang","Liheng Guo","Ruixiang Zeng","Juming Huang","Minzhou Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-09-14T21:07:06Z","doi":"10.1155/2015/646530","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2021.7.0087","name":"Tuina for Knee Osteoarthritis Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2021.7.0087","authors":["Xing Li","Guohui Zhang","Jian Zhu","Jiming Tao","Shuaipan Zhang","Hong Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-27T12:07:21Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2021.7.0087","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2021.11.0019","name":"The efficacy and safety of Tuina for Diabetic Gastroparesis: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2021.11.0019","authors":["Huixin Yan","Yun An","Tao Zhang","Jiangna Zhao","Juntao Yan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-11-06T14:03:49Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2021.11.0019","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32388/z95e0j","name":"Review of: \"The Application and Pathway Regulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Lung Cancer Treatment: An Exploratory Review\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.32388/z95e0j","authors":["Manal Khalid Abdulridha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-10T10:25:21Z","doi":"10.32388/z95e0j","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32388/m0jt4m","name":"Review of: \"The Application and Pathway Regulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Lung Cancer Treatment: An Exploratory Review\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.32388/m0jt4m","authors":["Eman M.

Thus, this protocol aims to evaluate the evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for VM prophylaxis by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Studies will be retrieved by searching electronic databases from their inception to December 2020, including EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM), and Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP). Eligible randomized controlled trials involving acupuncture for VM prophylaxis will be included. Study screening, data collection, and assessment for risk of bias will be executed by 2 independent reviewers. Meta-analyses will be conducted, followed by subgroup analysis if significant heterogeneity is detected. Sensitivity analysis and summary of the strength of the evidence will also be performed. Results: The results of the present systematic review and meta-analysis will verify the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for VM prophylaxis. Conclusion: This review will determine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on VM prophylaxis. The findings are expected to verified whether acupuncture can be an alternative treatment for VM prophylaxis. Ethics and dissemination: Given that a systematic review and meta-analysis will not involve private information of individuals, ethical approval is not required. Relevant results and findings will be submitted to an academic journal for peer reviews.

Recent studies have suggested that the mode of delivery, particularly cesarean section (C-section), may be associated with an increased risk of ADHD. This study aims to examine whether children born via C-section are at increased risk of developing ADHD using both cohort and case-control data. Methods We included observational studies (case-control or cohort) that examined the association between mode of delivery and ADHD in children. Inclusion criteria were: (a) ADHD diagnosed using standardized tools; (b) assessment of the relationship between C-section and ADHD; (c) availability of effect estimates (ORs with 95% CIs). Exclusion criteria were: (a) duplicate or overlapping data; (b) unavailable full text; (c) no extractable effect estimates. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP. Data were extracted using Excel and analyzed in R Studio with the meta, metabias, and metainf packages to pool the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for the association between C-section and the occurrence of ADHD. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results A total of 14 studies were included, consisting of six case-control and eight cohort studies across 10 countries in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Australia. ADHD diagnoses were based on DSM-IV or ICD-10. Most studies adjusted for key confounders such as maternal age (57.14%), child’s sex (50.00%), and gestational factors (35.71%). The pooled ORs were 1.44 (95% CI [1.04–1.25]) for case-control studies and 1.12 (95% CI [1.10–1.15]) for cohort studies. All studies scored ≥ 7 on the NOS. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that C-section is associated with a moderately increased risk of ADHD in children. Both elective and emergency C-sections showed similar effects. However, limitations such as study heterogeneity, potential publication bias, and lack of genetic or biological mechanism data are to be acknowledged. Further research is needed to clarify causality and explore underlying mechanisms.","url":"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.20603","authors":["Jiali Wei","Zehao Zheng","Yao Zheng","Kaishan Hou","Xue Pan","Xinyu Li","Yue Qiu","Mei Han"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-16T08:51:50Z","doi":"10.7717/peerj.20603","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcms.2014.11.003","name":"Cupping therapy for acute and chronic pain management: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcms.2014.11.003","authors":["Huijuan Cao","Xun Li","Xue Yan","Nissi S.

The central obstacle to this integration, however, lies beyond predictive performance and stems from a fundamental epistemological mismatch between data-driven AI and theory-driven TCM. Contemporary AI systems often operate through opaque statistical representations, whereas TCM depends on holistic, relational, and interpretive reasoning centered on syndrome differentiation and disease-mechanism inference.

We show that the principal challenges of TCM-XAI extend beyond accuracy and include annotation uncertainty, explanation validation, privacy-preserving interpretability, fairness across populations, and the risk of epistemic reduction or cultural misinterpretation. Finally, we outline a future research agenda centered on causal inference, neuro-symbolic reasoning, multimodal explanation benchmarks, clinician-centered evaluation, and regulatory standards for trustworthy TCM-AI systems. We argue that XAI should be understood not as a technical add-on but as the epistemic infrastructure required to build clinically trustworthy, culturally coherent, and scientifically robust AI ecosystems for Traditional Chinese Medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8595040.v1","authors":["Wanting Zheng","Yuanyuan Tong","Jinjian Huang","Ling Zhu","Jiaqi Chai"],"tags":["Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.c.8595040.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.26190/unsworks/15787","name":"Evaluation of clinical efficacy and investigation of mechanism of action of acupuncture treatment in the management of polycystic ovarian syndrome","source":"datacite","abstract":"Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) has the clinical manifestations of irregular menstrual cycles, anovulatory infertility, amenorrhoea, insulin resistance, polycystic ovaries, androgen disturbance, hirsutism and/or acne. The condition affects an estimated 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age (Hull 1987; Polson 1988; Lo 2006), although this varies depending on the diagnostic criteria used (Michelmore 1999). Farquhar et al. (1994) suggested the prevalence of PCOS to be 21% in a New Zealand study. Due to the lack of uniformed definition of PCOS, the prevalence of PCOS can have a highly variable prevalence estimates, ranging from 2.2% to 26% . (Nidhi 2011) Through researches, evidence suggests the potential usefulness of acupuncture in the treatment of the PCOS disorder (Ku 2001; Petti 1998; Ulett 1998). It was postulated that beta-endorphin and various neuropeptides (like protein pro-opiomelanocortin) within the nervous system may be implicated in producing the effects of acupuncture. Aleem (1987) revealed the presence of beta-endorphin in the follicular fluid of both normal and polycystic ovaries. Stener-Victorin (2000) s study suggested that acupuncture may have a role in ovulation induction. Further details of current acupuncture studies in PCOS can be found in Chapter Four. Acupuncture is currently used in public hospitals in China for the treatment of PCOS. Clinical studies conducted in China have suggested that the effectiveness of using acupuncture may be significant. However, the methodological quality of those trials was poor with limited long-term follow-up. The present study aimed to evaluate the action of body acupuncture on menstrual pattern through a pilot study (Stage II) and a randomised controlled study (Stage V). However, in order to plan the RCT properly from Chinese medicine point of view, it was important to first standardise the Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation for PCOS or otherwise an inaccurate clinical response may be obtained. This was achieved by utilising a questionnaire (Stage III) as a tool development in this study. In addition to understanding the needs of Chinese women with PCOS, an epidemiological data was performed in Stage IV, so as to attempting to address their needs in the RCT stage. An effective CM treatment protocol would then be proposed to serve as a guide for the clinical acupuncture management of adult women with PCOS. The findings are promising and further studies are required. The design for this doctoral program study composed of the following 6 stages: 1. Stage I Comprehensive systematic literature review of current acupuncture treatment for PCOS patients in human studies in all available Chinese and English Literature. This stage has been published as Cochrane Systematic Review paper; 2. Stage II Pilot Clinical Study involving real body acupuncture group; 3. Stage III Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Syndrome Differentiation Diagnostic Questionnaire (Tool) for PCOS according to the results of comprehensive literature review in stage I and also the National Disease Criteria set by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Peoples Republic of China; This is important as to standardise the CM diagnosis of PCOS in Stage V; 4. Stage IV Collection of Epidemiological data among Asian women of PCOS, to ascertain the psychological needs of Chinese women with PCOS; and to attempting to fulfil this in Stage V; 5. Stage V Randomised Single Blinded Acupuncture Clinical Trial involving a) real body acupuncture group; b) placebo (sham) body acupuncture group; For this study, there are two types of outcome measures that are under consideration. The primary outcome measure was the return of menstruation from amenorrhea while the secondary measures were the changes in LH, FSH concentration, LH: FSH Ratio, Progesterone, Oestrogen and Androgenic hormone concentration; 6.

Across medicine, hyperchloremia, NAGMA, RAAS mis-signaling, hormonal stagnation, and HFrEF vulnerability are treated as isolated problems. The Dyad reframes them as expressions of a single architecture: When bile flow falls, chloride rises to compensate. When bile recovers, chloride normalizes. Bile (Flow) governs:• acid–base balance• chloride gating• detoxification and hormone clearance• mitochondrial voltage• blood pressure stability• fluid distribution Chloride (Stability) acts as the emergency regulator:When bile stalls, chloride increases to maintain electrical and osmotic equilibrium—but at the cost of metabolic acidosis, RAAS volatility, low voltage, and cardiac strain. Traditional Chinese Medicine describes parallel collapse forces: Liver–Gallbladder Qi stagnation, Kidney Water/Yin deficiency, Damp–Heat accumulation, and Shen disturbance. The Flow–Stability Dyad provides a bilingual clinical–energetic bridge between these systems. Using a multi-month case analysis, this preprint maps:Collapse sequence:bile stall → chloride rise → NAGMA → RAAS chaos → EF vulnerability → voltage collapse Restoration sequence:bile activation → chloride normalization → CO₂ recovery → pressure stabilization → coherence return The Dyad identifies bile and chloride as the two invisible regulators of human terrain and proposes new diagnostic, energetic, and clinical frameworks for understanding collapse-to-coherence transitions.

Gut-derived metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), secondary bile acids, and amino acid derivatives, propagate endothelial injury, proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, and pathological extracellular matrix deposition through immune dysregulation and intertwined inflammatory-oxidative stress cascades. Furthermore, we synthesize TCM-based targeted intervention strategies aimed at restoring gut homeostasis, exploring TCM formulae and bioactive compounds through modulating microbial composition, elevating SCFA levels, and curtailing the translocation of trimethylamine N-oxide and lipopolysaccharides, which have been shown to suppress vascular inflammation, mitigate oxidative stress, and rebalance the protease-antiprotease axis, thereby ameliorating vascular remodeling. This synthesis identifies novel therapeutic targets for COPD-associated vascular complications and establishes a theoretical framework for TCM-based respiratory vascular interventions predicated on microbiota ecology modulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.13921","authors":["Rui.LUO","Jia.MU","Shenhui.QUAN","Xinlu.CHEN","Mina.GAO","Meng.LI","Xiaoya.LI","Bo.QIAO","Jiali.YUAN","Zhongshan.YANG","Yueying.WU"],"tags":["Chinese medicine and pharmacy","Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease","Lung-gut axis","Pulmonary vasculature","Traditional Chinese Medicine","Inflammatory factors","Gut microbiota and metabolites"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.13921","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/zv73q","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine nasal irrigation on chronic rhinosinusitis recovery after endoscopic sinus surgery：A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"This study aims to develop a systematic overview and meta-analysis protocol to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine nasal irrigation for chronic rhinosinusitis recovery after endoscopic sinus surgery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/zv73q","authors":["Yepeng Yang","Yaning Sun","Feng Xiang","Min Zhang","Li Fu","Qinxiu Zhang"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2022","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/zv73q","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/p7kaq","name":"Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Meridian-Sinew Release Therapy as an Adjunctive Treatment for Gouty Arthritis","source":"datacite","abstract":"In recent years, Meridian-Sinew Release Therapy has emerged as an innovative minimally invasive treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine, combining minimally invasive surgical techniques with acupuncture principles.

Although TCM interventions for PHN have been widely investigated, existing research is largely dominated by treatment-effect studies with short intervention periods and pain-centred outcomes. Less is known about how these techniques are translated into sustained nursing care, how nurses participate in their delivery and monitoring, and how patients or caregivers are supported to continue appropriate care outside acute clinical settings. In addition, a recent scoping review has already mapped auricular therapy for PHN, highlighting the need for a broader nursing-focused synthesis across TCM techniques and continuing-care models. The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and will be reported in accordance with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Eligibility will be guided by the Population–Concept–Context framework. Adults with PHN will be included according to the definition used in each source study, and these definitions will be explicitly charted to identify variation across the literature. The central concept is the use of a TCM technique with a clearly described technique-specific nursing role, including delivery, initiation, patient or caregiver training, supervision, safety monitoring, adherence support, or follow-up. Two reviewers will independently screen eligible records, and data will be extracted using a piloted charting form. The findings will be synthesized descriptively using evidence tables, matrices, and narrative mapping rather than meta-analysis. The review will map the types of TCM nursing techniques used for PHN, their delivery models, the roles and responsibilities of nurses, the extent of patient and caregiver participation, implementation characteristics, training and fidelity procedures, safety monitoring, and the range of outcomes assessed. Particular attention will be given to whether interventions have already been delivered in continuing-care settings and which technical or nursing components may be plausibly transferable to home-based care. Expected outcomes include a structured overview of the current evidence landscape, identification of gaps in nursing roles, self-care support, safety procedures, implementation reporting, and outcome assessment, and clarification of areas requiring further research. The findings are expected to provide a methodological and practical foundation for the subsequent development of a nurse-led PHN intervention, particularly in relation to technique selection, patient and caregiver training, safety monitoring, intervention fidelity, and continuing-care delivery.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/kea3j","authors":["Lin Su","Yang Xu","Jing Mo","Guangjing Wen","Yinhai Chen","Ke Xiong"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/kea3j","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/vxqup","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine decoction in the treatment of adolescent myopia: a protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Myopia when the eye is in the relaxed state of adjustment, the parallel light rays are focused before the retina after flexion of the refractive system of the eye, resulting that the clear image cannot be formed on the retina, called myopia.

Direct language-model generation can produce fluent prescriptions, but its decisions are difficult to audit against explicit clinical evidence. Static TCM knowledge resources provide useful priors, but they cannot determine which diagnostic and prescription relations should be emphasized for an individual patient. We propose a patient-conditioned dual hypergraph framework for auditable TCM prescription support. The first hypergraph organizes symptom, tongue, pulse, and other clinical evidence around syndrome and treatment-principle reasoning. The second hypergraph organizes syndrome, treatment, disease-context, herb, retrieval, and dose-prior evidence for prescription construction. Unlike static knowledge graphs or fixed hypergraphs, both hypergraphs are dynamically weighted by the patient representation. This design enables individualized activation of diagnostic and prescription paths, supporting personalized syndrome differentiation and herb-dose recommendation while preserving case-level auditability. Experiments on TCM-SD show that dynamic weighting in the first hypergraph improves MacBERT syndrome differentiation to 0.8297 accuracy and 0.3288 macro-F1. On TCM-BEST4SDT, the second hypergraph achieves the best mean Herb-F1 of 0.3111 across three seeds, and the full connected pipeline reaches 0.3074 Herb-F1, close to the oracle setting. A 50-case real-world CAP audit further suggests practical review potential, while highlighting the need for prospective dose-safety validation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2607.04025","authors":["Nie, Weizhi","Bai, Shaojin","Wang, Weijie","Su, Yuting"],"tags":["Information Retrieval (cs.IR)","Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)","FOS: Computer and information sciences","I.2.6; I.2.7; J.3"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.48550/arxiv.2607.04025","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/dxzhr","name":"Shaofu Zhuyu decoction for primary dysmenorrhea Protocol for systematic review and meta analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Primary dysmenorrhea(PD), one of the common gynecological diseases, is more common in adolescent women.

It is related to high fracture risk, with an accident of osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds. With a prevalence of 200 - 300 million patients worldwide, osteoporosis has become a major public health concern. However, its treatment remains a challenge around the world. Given the complications and side effects of currently available treatments,5 developing new therapeutic approaches for the prevention and interventions of osteoporosis with phytomedicine may be promising. Phytotherapy including herbs has been safely used for thousands of years, attracting great attention worldwide. Epimedium (Epimedium), also known as Yinyanghuo or Xianlingpi in Chinese, is derived from the dried leaf of the Epimedii Folium brevicornu Maxim, which has been widely used in treating bone diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Studies have reported pharmacological activity of Epimedium extracts like icariin, flavonoids, lignins, daidzein, genistein, and many other compounds. Efficacy of Epimedium-containing herbal formula for osteoporosis has been suggested by several reviews. However, the effect of Epimedium alone or combined with conventional pharmaceutical treatment on osteoporosis remains poorly understood clinically and has not been evaluated systematically, which limits clinical application and overall recognition of Epimedium treatment. To identify the effect of Epimedium alone or combined with conventional pharmaceutical treatment with current evidence of clinical studies, and to update and improve the previous reviews, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis. We designed this study following Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The search strategy aimed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing Epimedium alone or combined with conventional pharmaceutical treatment on osteoporosis. Systematic literature searches in Web of Science, WorldCat, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, SinoMed, Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data were conducted. All the electronic databases were searched from the earliest available date to 30 March 2021 (updated September 21, 2021).

Gut-derived metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), secondary bile acids, and amino acid derivatives, propagate endothelial injury, phenotypic switching of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, and pathological extracellular matrix deposition through immune dysregulation and intertwined inflammatory-oxidative stress cascades. Furthermore, we synthesize TCM-based targeted intervention strategies aimed at restoring gut homeostasis, exploring TCM formulae and bioactive compounds through modulating microbial composition, elevating SCFA levels, and curtailing the translocation of trimethylamine N-oxide and lipopolysaccharides, which have been shown to suppress vascular inflammation, mitigate oxidative stress, and rebalance the protease-antiprotease axis, thereby ameliorating vascular remodeling.

It is used to treat DN and other diseases, but there is no systematic review of SQP in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. This article reviews the effectiveness and safety of SQP in the treatment of DN. Methods: The database sets the registration date for randomized controlled trials (RCT) to March 25, 2021. By searching the following eight Chinese and English electronic databases: Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Science Net, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database. Chinese scientific journal database and Wanfang database for analysis. The main results are clinical efficacy, urinary albumin excretion rate, symptom score and quality of life. Finally, Stata 15 was used for meta-analysis. Results: This study will provide the latest evidence for SQP in the treatment of DN in the following aspects: clinical efficacy, urinary albumin excretion rate, quality of life, symptom score. Conclusion: The results of this study will provide evidence for evaluating the effectiveness of SQP in the treatment of DN.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/kz9ra","authors":["Piao Cai"],"tags":["Diseases","Other Medicine and Health Sciences","Medicine and Health Sciences","Endocrine System Diseases","Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/kz9ra","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/yksdc","name":"Effect of Maxingshigan Decoction for Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia in Children:A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Maxingshigan decoction（MXSGD），a Chinese traditional medicine（TCM）prescription，is widely used to treat Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP) in children in some Asian countries. but there is no systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate its efficacy.The new study will compile evidence from randomized clinical trials and quantify the effects of MXSGD on MPP in children.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/yksdc","authors":["Mingjie Wang","Jinxin Chen","Shihua Shi","Demei Huang","Zhenxing Wang","Fei Wang"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Life Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/yksdc","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/z8fjm","name":"Effectiveness and safety of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of chronic prostatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Chronic prostatitis (CP) is a common disease in the outpatient department of males and urology.

CHM, recommended in national treatment guidelines in China, has been used to treat patients with COVID-19 effectively in clinic. Although, respiratory tract manifestations such as fever and cough are the most commonly reported symptoms in patients with COVID-19, digestive symptoms and liver injury are not uncommon in patients with COVID-19. Emerging data showed that the gastrointestinal tract and liver also represent target organs of SARS-CoV-2 on the basis of the findings that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the major receptor of SARS-CoV-2, is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract as well as liver cells.However, to the best of our knowledge, CHM as an adjuvant medicine for improving gastrointestinal symptoms and liver functions in COVID-19 has not been well studied with definitive results by the evidence assessment. Although the use of CHM shows promise, the evidence supporting its use in the treatment of COVID-19 remains limited, and thus our systematic review and meta‐analysis are necessary.

Although incidence rates have stabilised, advances in early detection and treatment have improved survival, with around 70% of patients now living at least five years after diagnosis. Many cancer survivors continue to face a range of physical and psychological challenges that negatively affect their quality of life (QoL), such as fatigue, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. To manage these long-term consequences, increasing numbers of cancer patients are turning to complementary therapies, including Qigong, a traditional mind-body practice rooted in Chinese medicine that incorporates coordinated movements, breathing techniques, and meditation. Qigong is used to enhance physical health, emotional balance, and overall wellbeing. However, existing QoL instruments are often lengthy, non-specific, or are insensitive to the unique mechanisms and outcomes associated with Qigong practice. This research project aimed to develop and validate a concise and psychometrically robust questionnaire to evaluate the impact of Qigong on the QoL of cancer patients. The project involved four phases: (1) an umbrella review of Qigong for cancer patients’ QoL; (2) a pilot survey for the content development of the new questionnaire; (3) validation of the new questionnaire; and (4) design of its application in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) as a key outcome measure.Phase 1: Umbrella review of Qigong for cancer patients’ QoL: An umbrella review was conducted following the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions to synthesise existing systematic reviews of RCTs evaluating the effects of Qigong on cancer patients’ QoL. Given the close relationship between Qigong and Tai Chi, both practices were included. Searches across 25 databases identified nine eligible systematic reviews, from which 56 RCTs were extracted and analysed. These studies were conducted in diverse countries, including China, Australia, the USA, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. Results indicated that Qigong and Tai Chi may improve various QoL domains, including physical functioning (e.g., fatigue, sleep quality), psychological wellbeing (e.g., anxiety, depression), and overall life satisfaction. Importantly, no serious adverse effects were reported. However, considerable heterogeneity was observed across studies, likely due to the wide variety of QoL instruments employed, highlighting the need for a standardised and Qigong-specific tool. Based on these findings, a 10-item semi-structured questionnaire was drafted for initial testing.Phase 2: Pilot survey for content development of the new QoL questionnaire: Ethics approval was obtained from the RMIT Human Research Ethics Committee (SEHAPP 79-18). Participants were recruited from the International Guolin Qigong Culture Research (Australia) Association and the Shanghai Cancer Recovery Association (China). The draft questionnaire was pilot tested among 50 cancer patients (20 in Australia, 30 in China) with prior Guolin Qigong experience. A thematic analysis of their responses identified key QoL domains, encompassing physical (e.g., fatigue, sleep), psychological (e.g., mood, confidence), social interactions, and overall wellbeing. Participants also provided valuable feedback on the clarity and relevance of items. Drawing on this input, the questionnaire was revised to improve its content validity and user-friendliness. To enable quantitative analysis, the refined version was adapted into a 5-point Likert scale format and formally named the Qigong Quality of Life Questionnaire (3Q instrument).Phase 3: Validation of the 3Q instrument: Further ethics approval (HREC26229) was obtained to validate the 3Q instrument.

As a traditional Chinese therapy, warming acupuncture and moxibustion is safe, economical and has few side effects. At present, some studies have shown that warming acupuncture and moxibustion has a certain effect on RA, but there is no evidence of evidence-based medicine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of warming acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Method: Randomized controlled trials of warming acupuncture and moxibustion treating RA will be searched in the databases including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, Web of science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), WanFang, the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), and China biomedical literature database(CBM) from inception to July, 2020. In addition, Baidu, Google Scholar, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and Chinese Clinical Trials Registry will be searched to obtain the gray literature and relevant data that have not yet been published. Two qualified researchers will extract data and assess the risk of bias from included studies independently. Statistical analysis is performed in RevMan 5.3 software. Results: The primary outcome is symptom evaluation including morning stiffness, pain and joint swelling. The number of joints affected by RA, Rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protei (CRP), anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline (A-CCP), and adverse effects, will be evaluated as secondary outcomes.

Simultaneously, it was also widely used in the treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD). Clinical studies have demonstrated that HPM can reduce menstrual pain and improve quality of life in patients with PD, and its mechanism may be related to the upregulating of 20α-dihydroprogesterone, pregnenolone, prostaglandin E2, and γ-aminobutyric acid. With the publication of clinical trials on HPM for PD, a few studies have shown that HPM has a good clinical effect. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence to support the effectiveness and safety of HPM on patients with PD.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing techniques—including moxibustion, auricular acupressure, cupping, scraping, acupressure, tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), Chinese herbal bathing, and plaster/ointment application, among others, as defined by the 2015 National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Manual of TCM Techniques for Nursing Staff—have been increasingly integrated into post‑stroke rehabilitation. However, existing evidence syntheses have notable limitations:they often combine ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, focus on a single technique or a single outcome measure, and lack a systematic mapping of the overall research landscape. Therefore, this scoping review combined with an evidence map aims to systematically identify and categorize all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating TCM nursing techniques for neurological function recovery in ischemic stroke, to visualize the evidence distribution across different techniques and outcome measures (e.g., NIHSS, mRS, NDS, CSS), and to pinpoint evidence gaps and methodological shortcomings. We anticipate that the review will include a substantial number of RCTs, with acupressure, moxibustion, and auricular acupressure being the most frequently studied techniques and the NIHSS being the most commonly reported outcome. The evidence map will visually highlight both dense research clusters and empty cells, while methodological quality assessment using the RoB 2.0 tool is expected to reveal common flaws such as inadequate blinding and insufficient allocation concealment. The findings will provide a comprehensive evidence blueprint, identify priority areas for future high‑quality RCTs, and offer practical guidance for clinicians and researchers in the field of TCM nursing for stroke rehabilitation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/5nr4f","authors":["Luo Hong"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Geriatric Nursing","Other Nursing","Nursing"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/5nr4f","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.611Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.611Z"},{"id":"doi:10.82161/7saw-e946","name":"SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON APPLICATIONS, INDICATIONS, AND EFFECTS OF PASSIVE HYDROTHERAPY WATSU (WATERSHIATSU)","source":"datacite","abstract":"Schitter A.M.1, Fleckenstein J.1,2, Frei P.3, Taeymas J.4, Kurpiers N.3, Radlinger L.41University of Bern, Institute of Complementary Medicine, Bern, Switzerland, 2Goethe-University Frankfurt / Institute of Sports Sciences, Department of Sports Medicine, Frankfurt, Germany, 3University of Hildesheim, Institute of Sports Science, Hildesheim, Germany, 4Bern University of Applied Sciences, Section of Health, Bern, SwitzerlandBackground: To practice WATSU (WaterShiatsu), a therapist stands in 35° C water, moving a client in slow and spacious circular motions. Gentle tractions applied to the client's body are supposed to stretch muscular and fascial structures, and to stimulate meridians, i.e. channels through which according to Traditional Chinese Medicine the life-energy “qi” (氣) is flowing. Developed in the 1980's, WATSU is now practiced worldwide and occasionally reported to be implemented in therapeutic settings.Purpose: Objective of this first systematic literature review (PROSPERO registration number CRD42016029347) on WATSU is to build a foundation for research on this topic by providing a comprehensive overview of the currently evident knowledge on its use and attributed effects.Methods: The search without language restrictions for the terms watsu OR watershiatsu OR (water AND shiatsu) was conducted in 23 databases and manually in reference lists of retrieved publications. Authors of recent publications on WATSU, as well as Institutes of Aquatic Bodywork, were contacted to retrieve additional grey literature. All procedures of data collection, screening, inclusion, risk of bias assessment, and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Qualitative information on applications, indications, and effects of WATSU was extracted from the entire body of evidence. Quantitative results concerning effects of WATSU as a stand-alone hydrotherapy delivered in adequate water temperatures (33°-36° C), reported in peer reviewed original articles (regardless of study design), were submitted to risk of bias-assessment.Results: The search yielded 1,248 articles (without duplicates), of which 459 actually reported on WATSU. Peer reviewed articles were divided into original articles (n=56) and secondary literature (n=74). In 32 of the original articles, elements of WATSU were integrated in hydrotherapeutic programs. Fourteen studies reported on quantitative outcomes regarding effects of genuine WATSU, covering a broad spectrum of indications (e.g. pain, hemiplegia, asthma, depression, or pregnancy). Their overall risk of bias, due to study design (1 random controlled trial, 2 controlled trials, 2 trials without control group, 6 case series, and 3 case reports) and room for improvement in reporting, is high. WATSU was reported to be applied on individuals from childhood to seniority. The intervention aimed for physical (e.g. regarding pain, range of motion, physical quality of life) or mental (e.g. regarding stress, depression, mental quality of life) benefits.Conclusion(s): This systematic review supports the notion that WATSU is being attributed suitability for a multitude of conditions and also implemented in therapeutic settings. Due to potential risk of bias in most of the retrieved studies, conclusions have to be taken with caution.Implications: The literature is lacking methodologically sound studies concerning frequency and magnitude of the suggested effects of WATSU, dose-response, or responder-profiles among patients. Therefore, it is proposed that future investigations focus on reassurance of the retrieved information e.g. via qualitative verification by experts, and trials that investigate proposed short- and long-term effects in both, healthy individuals and affected populations.Funding acknowledgements: NoneTopic: Professional practice: otherEthics approval: Not required for this type of study.All authors, affiliations and abstracts have been published as submitted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.82161/7saw-e946","authors":["Agnes M.

Hypertension is a disturbance in blood circulation that can be life- threatening for individuals when blood pressure is above systolic and diastolic pressure which is unstable. Other hypertension treatments can use good herbal plants to treat various diseases. Various kinds of active substance components which have been widely studied have therapeutic effects derived from herbal plants. About 75- 80% of the worlds population, especially in developing countries, use herbal medicines for primary health care because of their better acceptance of the human body. Objective of the research: The purpose of this literature review is to find out the nutritious herbal plants in Indonesia as traditional medicines to reduce hypertension. Method: The method used in writing this article is a literature review approach by searching literature using the Google Schoolar website database. Result: The results of the study found 15 plants as herbal medicines as drugs to reduce hypertension, namely celery leaves (Apium graveolens L), ginger (Zingiber officinale), basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum), Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), garlic (Allium sativum), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), butterfly pea flower (Clitoriaternatea), papaya leaves (Carica papaya), betel leaves (Piper Betle Linn), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), gotu kola leaves (Centella asiatica), carrots (Daucus carota L), bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), meniran leaves (Phytallantus niruri), soursop leaves (Annona muricata Linn). Conclusion: Traditional medicine using herbal plants is believed to be able to treat hypertension which has been part of public belief from time to time. The utilization of these traditional plants takes into account aspects such as ease of obtaining, saving costs, and not containing chemicals that cause other side effects.

While common cold, encephalitis, meningitis and gastroenteritis are mostly triggered by viruses, cholera, diphtheria, dysentery, tuberculosis, typhoid and pneumonia infections are caused by various bacteria, whereas valley fever, histoplasmosis, candidiasis, ringworm and eye infections are generated by several fungi. Also, ectoparasites like mites, lice, ticks and fleas can be responsible for some infections by attaching to the skin. However, after the onset of COVID-19, which mostly presents as a respiratory disease, a top interest has been put on virus research. Many studies have shown that phytochemicals exert a plethora of biological effects, among them, their antimicrobial action through different mechanisms has been highly underlined. Indeed, they are able to damage the bacterial cell membrane and suppress diverse virulence factors, including inhibition of the activity of various enzymes and toxins and biofilm formation. This chapter summarizes the impact of certain phytochemicals, for example, flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, and alkaloids, as naturally-occurring bioactive compounds present in plants, in several infectious diseases.<br><br>Some herbal medicines containing flavonoids form complexes with cell walls of bacteria, protein and extracellular components and are important and effective antimicrobial compounds. Herbal medicines contain terpenoids involved in weakening microorganism cell wall and membranous tissue dissolution, thus inhibiting the growth of infections. Saponins found in herbal medicines cause microbes enzyme leakage from the cell, whereas Steroid in antimicrobial drugs is responsible for liposome leakage from the lipid bilayer membrane. Based on the evidences, the antimicrobial activity of the medicinal plant Veronica biloba was found against E.coli, S.aureus, and Aspergillus fumigatus pathogens. The common herbs tarragon and thyme both contain caffeic acid, which is effective against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Organosulphur compounds such as allicin, isothiocynate and ajoene have shown antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Catechins, the most reduced form of the C3 unit in flavonoid compounds, deserve special mention due to their occurrence in green teas. It was noticed that teas also exerted antimicrobial activity against Vibrio cholerae, S. mutans, shigella and other microorganisms. This chapter focuses on all aspects of infectious diseases and herbal medicines, including chemical constituents and their therapeutic effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815256321124060006","authors":["Uttam Singh Baghel","Nidhi","Bhanu Pratap Singh","Deeksha Singh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-07T07:56:45Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815256321124060006","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.632Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100988","name":"Adverse effects of herbal preparations of Pistacia species: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100988","authors":["Saeid Mohseni","Narjes Gorji","Reihaneh Moeini","Zahra Meamariani","Hoda Shirafkan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-05T06:44:28Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100988","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.632Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2017.10.001","name":"Ethnobotanical importance of medicinal plants traded in Herbal markets of Rawalpindi- Pakistan","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2017.10.001","authors":["Mushtaq Ahmad","Muhammad Zafar","Nuzba Shahzadi","Ghulam Yaseen","Terence M.

The study covers simple methods of liposomal encapsulation because these procedures increase exposure levels resulting in superior therapeutic outcomes. The article shows pharmaceutical science uses liposomal applications to treat cancer and antimicrobial diseases in its clinical pharmacological applications. Liposomal encapsulation enhances the composition of curcumin and Tribulus terrestris as well as other herbal medicine components by increasing their absorption rate in the human body.Scientists investigate regulatory control approaches for creating liposomal pharmacological agents as they study new developments of this modern therapeutic discipline. Liposomal delivery faces ongoing challenges but the author Kauffman expects this technology will develop through partnerships between nanotechnology and personalized medicine systems.

Airborne microbial samples were collected in controlled indoor environments before and after exposure to Sambrani smoke. The microbial load of bacteria and fungi was quantified using culture-based methods. Physical parameters such as temperature and exposure time were standardized and recorded. Statistical analysis determined the significance of microbial reduction. Exposure to cow dung Sambrani smoke resulted in a significant reduction (p<0.05) of airborne bacterial and fungal counts, with up to a 65% decrease in fungal spores and a 58% decrease in bacterial Colony-Forming Units (CFUs). The smoke exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects without adverse impact on air quality or room temperature. This study provides quantitative evidence supporting the traditional Indian practice of using Sambrani smoke for air purification. It bridges the gap in scientific validation of herbal smoke’s antimicrobial properties and offers a culturally integrated, eco-friendly alternative to toxic chemical disinfectants amid rising antimicrobial resistance.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4081/idhm.2025.724","authors":["K Akhila Reddy","Manasa Manasa","Shivani Shivani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T10:18:03Z","doi":"10.4081/idhm.2025.724","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100700","name":"Efficacy of herbal formulations Sufoof-i-Tabkheer and Arq-i-Badiyan in dyspepsia: An open-labelled single-arm clinical study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100700","authors":["Abdul Mobeen","Abdul Hakeem"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-07-24T20:10:35Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100700","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.tl/2026.265","name":"Herbal Nutraceuticals: Extraction, Formulation, Therapeutic Applications, and Toxicological Perspectives","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.tl/2026.265","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T12:25:55Z","doi":"10.47278/book.tl/2026.265","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.343Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33235/ajhnm.32.1.8","name":"Progress of reinstated private health insurance rebates for Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33235/ajhnm.32.1.8","authors":["David Casteleijn"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-03-10T01:59:45Z","doi":"10.33235/ajhnm.32.1.8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2022.100569","name":"Study on heavy metals in some Ayurvedic herbal products and risk assessment of their calculated average daily dose intake in humans","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2022.100569","authors":["Meena Deswal","Pawan Deswal","J.S.

medicine especially in their functions of stopping the growth of HIV virus inside T Cell with CD 4 in its surface. By using optical spectroscopy techniques of fast Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), photo cells, and gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS), we found their significant differences. Based on our former finding, the inhibition of pangi leaf was 2.19 times larger than that in love herbal medicine [7]. Such pangi leaf medicine has advantages of optical uniqueness behaviors due to CC at 2260 cm-1 which might be closely in conjunction with very strong alkaline function associated with at least 4 compounds ofoctadecanoic acid (24.6 %), squalene (21.22 %), hexadecanoic acid (15.08 %), and phytol (10.33 %) to kill HIV virus more effectively and safely in human body. The results of our observation under real time photo cells with pure pangileaf medicine at concentration of 400 to 800 ppm were superior to LH medicine. Such output suggests that pangi leaf medicine is very promising for healing HIV patients in the future applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.30598/snvol2iss2pp097-104year2019","authors":["Arend L Mapanawang","Hendry Izaac Elim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-07-14T23:05:56Z","doi":"10.30598/snvol2iss2pp097-104year2019","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420041781-24","name":"COCA","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420041781-24","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T15:08:16Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420041781-24","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420006452-27","name":"Introduction","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420006452-27","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T13:12:27Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420006452-27","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100735","name":"Prevalence of Use of Herbal Medicines for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease in Africa: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100735","authors":["S.

T1DM, often associated with autoimmune disease, is characterized by insulin deficiency and insufficiency due to beta cell destruction. The primary treatment for T1DM is insulin therapy, limited by the risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Other treatments for T1DM are teplizumab and donislecel, which have recently received FDA approval. Beyond these treatment options, T1DM patients are interested in non-pharmacological interventions and are willing to use herbal products. Therefore, we reviewed the effects of herbal medicines used for T1DM, including fenugreek, ficus extracts, cinnamon, berberine, silymarin, silibinin, curcumin, resveratrol, catechins, ginseng, olive leaf, allicin, thymoquinone, and mangiferin to understand their level of evidence and associated effects, and their potential for use as antidiabetic agents in the clinic. As a result of our research, the majority of the studies were conducted on diabetic animal models. There are limited clinical studies investigating herbal medicines in T1DM. Studies show that the abovementioned herbal medicines are beneficial in T1DM by lowering glucose levels, increasing insulin levels, and exerting anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pancreas islet β-cell protective mechanisms. However, these studies are insufficient to recommend the use of existing herbs in treating T1DM on a clinical level.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010007","authors":["Zinnet Şevval Aksoyalp","Betül Rabia Erdoğan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010007","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.431Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/ebk1420045604-20","name":"Traditional ChineseVeterinary Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/ebk1420045604-20","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-12-11T19:23:53Z","doi":"10.1201/ebk1420045604-20","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420041781-25","name":"CHOCOLATE","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420041781-25","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T15:08:16Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420041781-25","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420006452-30","name":"Coca","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420006452-30","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T13:12:27Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420006452-30","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/hm9.0000000000000019","name":"The rationale behind the four major anti-COVID-19 principles of Chinese herbal medicine based on systems medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract As the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its variants continue to rage into the second year of a global pandemic, many success stories of applying Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) to treat COVID-19 patients continue to emerge from China and other part of the world.

Vitiligo affects approximately 0.5 to 2 per cent of the world's population. Vitiligo has a major impact on the mental and social health of vitiligo patients. Various treatment methods for the management of vitiligo have been developed. These include conventional allopathic medicines and herbal or plant-based medicines. This study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and limitations of herbal and allopathic medicines used in vitiligo management. Allopathic medicines include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy, and surgical techniques such as skin grafting. These methods are scientifically proven and lead to faster repigmentation in patients with vitiligo. However, these medicines are associated with various side effects if used for a long time. These include skin thinning, skin irritation, infection, and various systemic diseases. On the other hand, herbal medicines are plant-based medicines that are used to treat various diseases. These medicines are derived from plants that are rich in antioxidants and melanocyte stimulants. Medicinal plants such as psoralea corylifolia and Curcuma longa are used in vitiligo management. These medicines are associated with fewer side effects and help in repigmentation. However, the efficacy of these herbs may help to reduce oxidative stress, immune balance, and melanin production with fewer side effects. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of herbal medicine may vary. Further standardised studies are necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine. In conclusion, it is important to note that both herbal medicine and allopathic medicine are important in the management of vitiligo. Allopathic medicine offers rapid results, while herbal medicine offers a safer solution with long-term benefits.

Vitiligo affects approximately 0.5 to 2 per cent of the world's population. Vitiligo has a major impact on the mental and social health of vitiligo patients. Various treatment methods for the management of vitiligo have been developed. These include conventional allopathic medicines and herbal or plant-based medicines. This study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and limitations of herbal and allopathic medicines used in vitiligo management. Allopathic medicines include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy, and surgical techniques such as skin grafting. These methods are scientifically proven and lead to faster repigmentation in patients with vitiligo. However, these medicines are associated with various side effects if used for a long time. These include skin thinning, skin irritation, infection, and various systemic diseases. On the other hand, herbal medicines are plant-based medicines that are used to treat various diseases. These medicines are derived from plants that are rich in antioxidants and melanocyte stimulants. Medicinal plants such as psoralea corylifolia and Curcuma longa are used in vitiligo management. These medicines are associated with fewer side effects and help in repigmentation. However, the efficacy of these herbs may help to reduce oxidative stress, immune balance, and melanin production with fewer side effects. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of herbal medicine may vary. Further standardised studies are necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine. In conclusion, it is important to note that both herbal medicine and allopathic medicine are important in the management of vitiligo. Allopathic medicine offers rapid results, while herbal medicine offers a safer solution with long-term benefits. The use of a combination of both medicines may result in better therapeutic outcomes for patients with vitiligo.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20457754","authors":["S.

This has prompted interest in herbal alternatives with multi‑target actions and better tolerability. Carissa spinarum Linn., a thorny shrub of the Apocynaceae family, has long been used in African, Asian, and Indian traditional medicine for its cardiotonic, anti‑inflammatory, and neuroactive properties. Phytochemical analyses of its root bark reveal alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and sterols, compounds known to modulate serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways.

This has prompted interest in herbal alternatives with multi‑target actions and better tolerability. Carissa spinarum Linn., a thorny shrub of the Apocynaceae family, has long been used in African, Asian, and Indian traditional medicine for its cardiotonic, anti‑inflammatory, and neuroactive properties. Phytochemical analyses of its root bark reveal alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and sterols, compounds known to modulate serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways.

Saper and colleagues in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2004, the image of ayurveda as a safe alternative or complement to biomedicine has sharply deteriorated in North America and Europe. In reaction, some western countries have forbidden the import of the herbal products denounced by Saper and colleagues’ warning, and the Government of India has taken measures to implement its rules on their production to ensure the full safety of the products intended for both export and national markets. This seriously hinders the export of siddha remedies as they may contain metals, mercury being one of their iconic ingredients. It has also created problems for their production, as the companies that manufacture siddha products are, in general, less developed than their ayurvedic counterparts. I will discuss this event and its impact on regulations in Europe, the United States and Canada and in India in the first part of this chapter. In the second part, I will explore the ideological and spiritual position of siddha medicine and its relation to iatrochemistry in order to comprehend why it has the reputation of a metal- and mineral-based medicine, and in particular, a mercury-based medicine. The third part, based on research conducted in 2007 on private and governmental siddha firms and the traditional siddha milieu throughout Tamil Nadu, will focus on the production of siddha medicaments and their marketing, as well as on the diverse means by which they cross frontiers for consumption abroad.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-131787","authors":["Sébastia, Brigitte"],"tags":["950 History of Asia"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015","doi":"10.5167/uzh-131787","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21391912","name":"Creative Herbal Medicine System for Storyworlds: Narrative Extensions through Side Effects, Seasonal Constraints, and Tradition Conflicts","source":"datacite","abstract":"Creative Herbal Medicine System for Storyworlds presents a narrative-oriented reconstruction of East Asian herbal medicine designed for fiction writers, worldbuilders, and researchers.

Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of polyphenols, alkaloids, tannins, sterols, and flavonoids in the various Albizia zygia extracts. Acute toxicity testing showed that this plant is non-toxic at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The results obtained may support its use in traditional medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22122664","authors":["Aminata, AKOUBET-OUAYOGODE","N'GUESSAN, Ocho Esther","Yao, KANGA","KABLAN, Richmond Jean-François","KABLAN, Ahmont Landry Claude"],"tags":["Albizia zygia","Phytochemical screening","Polyphenols","OECD 423","Acute toxicity"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.22122664","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:09.633Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.22120250","name":"Anatomical characterization and evaluation of antioxidant activity of Ficus racemosa L. in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam","source":"datacite","abstract":"Ficus racemosa L.

By utilizing translational gastroenterology as a primary lens, the protocols explore how Ayurvedic constitutional principles (Tridosha) intersect with modern biomarkers of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and PPAR modulation. This second volume provides detailed evidence-based protocols for Tridoshic Nutrition, Gastritis, and Cystitis, validating traditional botanical interventions through the scrutiny of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. Scope and Methodology: Integrative Framework: synthesis of Ayurvedic pharmacology (Dravyaguna) with functional medicine and molecular biology. Translational Approach: conversion of energetic concepts into clinical biochemical pathways (e.g., gut-axis signaling, inflammatory cytokine modulation). Evidence-Based Validation: each protocol is cross-referenced with scientific data to ensure clinical relevance and safety. Predictive & Adaptive Models: strategies designed to anticipate physiological imbalances before clinical manifestation. Key Protocols included: Tridoshic Nutrition: a systemic approach to metabolic optimization based on individual constitutional dynamics and nutritional biochemistry. Gastritis: a translational management strategy focusing on mucosal integrity, pH regulation, and the modulation of the gastric microbiome. Cystitis: Integrative interventions targeting urogenital health through the mitigation of oxidative stress and pathogenic adhesion mechanisms.

This concept, described in the Sarangdhar Samhita (1300 A.D.) and supported by modern pharmacological studies, serves as the basis for the present polyherbal formulation. The current review focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal syrup containing Rauvolfia serpentina (Sarpagandha) and Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi). Rauvolfia serpentina (Family: Apocynaceae) is widely recognized for its antihypertensive, sedative, tranquilizing, and antipsychotic properties. These therapeutic effects are primarily attributed to indole alkaloids, especially reserpine, which acts through irreversible inhibition of Vesicular Monoamine Transporter-2 (VMAT-2). Ocimum sanctum (Family: Lamiaceae), commonly known as Tulsi and revered as a “Rasayana” herb in Ayurveda, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and adaptogenic activities due to the presence of bioactive constituents such as eugenol, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, and flavonoids. The polyherbal syrup was prepared using the maceration method with sucrose, glycerin, sodium benzoate, citric acid, and distilled water as excipients. Syrup was selected as the dosage form because of its ease of administration, improved patient compliance, flexible dosing, rapid absorption, and suitability for individuals of all age groups. The formulated syrup was evaluated for various physicochemical and microbiological parameters, including pH, viscosity, specific gravity, organoleptic characteristics, microbial safety, and stability. The pH of the formulation was found to be 5.5, and all evaluation parameters complied with the standards prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indian Pharmacopoeia. The findings suggest that the polyherbal syrup exhibits synergistic antihypertensive, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and adaptogenic effects. Therefore, it may serve as a safe, effective, and cost-efficient therapeutic option for the management of hypertension, stress-related disorders, and immune dysfunction. This formulation represents a successful integration of traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern pharmaceutical science, highlighting the potential of polyherbal medicines in contemporary healthcare.

This review, covering fifteen medicinal plants — Catharanthus roseus, Curcuma longa, Withania somnifera, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Azadirachta indica, Phyllanthus emblica, Aloe vera, Tinospora cordifolia, Mangifera indica, Vitis vinifera, Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Bacopa monnieri, Rauvolfia serpentina and Syzygium aromaticum — examines their pharmacological relevance in cancer and oxidative-stress management. Each of these species contains bioactive groups such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids and polyphenols, which contribute to antioxidant and anticancer effects through mechanisms that include scavenging of free radicals, moderation of oxidative stress, triggering of apoptosis, suppression of tumour growth and modulation of intracellular signalling pathways. Progress in phytochemical analysis, nanotechnology-based delivery platforms and pharmacological investigation has further strengthened the case for these plants as therapeutic candidates.

This study aims to explore and analyze the application and characteristics of PROs in clinical trials of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Methods This cross-sectional study was based on randomized clinical trials of TCM between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2022 in International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. For each included trial, data including study phase, design, participant demographics, target diseases, PROs, and PRO measurements were extracted. Trials were categorized into three groups: (1) recorded specified patient-reported outcome tools, (2) referenced patient subjective outcomes without specified tools, and (3) did not mention any PROs. Further descriptive statistical analysis were conducted on the most commonly used PRO tools in different countries and for different diseases. Results Among a total of 7783 eligible trials, 4858 (62.4%) listed explicit PRO tools, and 850 (10.9%) referenced PROs without specified tools. The most common conditions evaluated by PRO tools were musculoskeletal diseases (935 trials, 19.2%), symptoms (714, 14.7%), and neurological diseases (500, 10.3%). Frequently used PRO tools included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), 36-item Short-Form Health Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Regionally, most PRO-related trials were in the Western Pacific (3904, 68.4%) and fewest in Africa (8, 0.1%). Countries conducting the most PRO-related trials were China, Iran, the USA, South Korea, and Brazil, focusing on musculoskeletal, symptoms, neurological, genitourinary, and digestive diseases, with varying popular disease-specific PRO tools by country. Musculoskeletal diseases were the primary focus in China, Brazil, and South Korea. Conclusions The use of PROs in TCM clinical trials has grown during the study period. However, there was an uneven regional distribution of PRO application and a lack of standardized, reliable PRO tools tailored for TCM. Great efforts are needed to enhance the quality and promote the use of PRO tools in TCM clinical research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s41687-025-00982-2","authors":["Yuanyuan Lin","Xiaowen Zhang","Zhenqian Xu","Lin Liu","Chen Shen","Mei Han","Huijuan Cao","Yutong Fei","Jianping Liu","Hongguo Rong","Chunxia Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-08T17:43:53Z","doi":"10.1186/s41687-025-00982-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00210-026-05350-5","name":"Chrysophanol ameliorates ferroptosis in acute kidney injury by promoting SIRT3-mediated NRF2 deacetylation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00210-026-05350-5","authors":["Mengdi Cui","Hao Tian","Jinyue Zhu","Jing Zhu","Qiyuan Wang","Yinshui Zou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-05T06:00:53Z","doi":"10.1007/s00210-026-05350-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jfca.2026.109259","name":"A strategy combining HPLC fingerprint, chemometrics and anti-inflammatory spectrum-effect relationship for the quality control of Zanthoxylum schinifolium Sieb. et Zucc.","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2026.109259","authors":["Danchun Fang","Haoyue Ding","Lulu Deng","Shi Pu","Shuyu Wu","Shaonian Tian","Zhigao Zhao","Rui Tan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-19T22:49:53Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jfca.2026.109259","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s13105-026-01162-6","name":"Prognostic implications and molecular mechanisms of derived organoid-angiogenesis-related genes (DOARGs) in colorectal cancer","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13105-026-01162-6","authors":["Qian Xu","Mengli Dong","Ye Yuan","Qianqian Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-19T09:29:34Z","doi":"10.1007/s13105-026-01162-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/qjmed/hcag060","name":"Response to “Reassessing Ménétrier’s disease: diagnostic variability, molecular subtypes, and implications for precision therapy”","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hcag060","authors":["Tai Zhang","Ting Chen","Xudong Tang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-25T12:45:53Z","doi":"10.1093/qjmed/hcag060","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-026-39372-z","name":"Rhubarb enhances gastrointestinal motility via calcium-mediated intestinal acetylcholine release: a network pharmacology study","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Rapid restoration of intestinal motility is crucial in managing acute pancreatitis (AP), particularly in severe cases. This study aims to investigate the potential of Chinese medicinal rhubarb to enhance bowel motility through modulation of calcium ion signaling in the gastrointestinal tract. A multi-omics approach integrating network pharmacology, KEGG pathway enrichment, and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analyses to identify rhubarb’s active components and target genes linked to AP. KEGG analysis highlighted key genes in the calcium ion pathway, facilitating the construction of a network pharmacology framework. C57BL/6 mice were single-blind randomly given saline or rhubarb gavage (0.2 mL/10 g, thrice daily for 2 days). Ileum tissues and serum were collected to measure key genes, acetylcholine (ACh), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Similarly, mild to moderate AP patients in Pingxiang People’s Hospital were single-blind randomly assigned to control or rhubarb groups, with serum analyzed for AChE levels. Multi-dimensional analyses identified ten active components in rhubarb that interact with 67 target proteins. Cross-referencing with AP-related targets identified 55 key regulatory genes, ten of which were significantly enriched in the calcium signaling pathway. Animal studies demonstrated that rhubarb significantly increased ACh in the mice ileum ( p = 0.0023) and serum AChE levels ( p < 0.0001). Q-PCR analysis indicated upregulation of nine calcium pathway-related genes. In a randomized single-blind trial with 10 AP patients, those receiving oral rhubarb had significantly more frequent bowel movements ( p < 0.0001) and higher serum AChE levels ( p < 0.0001) than controls. No adverse events occurred. Rhubarb increases diarrhea in mice by enhancing gastrointestinal motility, activating calcium ion signaling, and boosting ACh and AChE release. It also raises serum AChE levels and defecation frequency in AP patients. These effects may explain rhubarb’s therapeutic role in treating gastrointestinal motility disorders linked to AP.

This paper introduces and defends a “Knowledge-Data Dual-Driven” paradigm as a foundational framework for the authentic modernization of TCM. The paradigm involves two synergistic pathways: first, formalizing implicit TCM wisdom into explicit, computable structures using large-scale knowledge graphs (KGs) and TCM-specific large language models (LLMs); second, objectifying diagnostic information by digitizing the “four diagnostic methods” to construct a multimodal “TCM Phenomics”. The integration of these pillars via hybrid AI architectures (e.g., KG-grounded LLMs) aims to create next-generation intelligent diagnostic systems that are accurate, interpretable, and theoretically grounded. However, critical challenges persist, including data heterogeneity, model interpretability, and clinical integration bottlenecks. Overcoming these requires steadfast interdisciplinary collaboration to develop human-centered AI that augments, rather than replaces, clinical decision-making. The ultimate vision lies in leveraging computational intelligence to amplify TCM’s empirical wisdom, enabling more precise, personalized, and scientifically grounded healthcare within an integrative framework.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000198","authors":["Fei YOU","Qiongyan SHAO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-10T14:00:23Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000198","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.06.027","name":"Research on the Reconstruction of Quality Model for Top Innovative Talents of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Digital-Intelligent Era","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.06.027","authors":["Zeyu WANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-10T01:55:17Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.06.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/jdr/7117751","name":"Complement System–Related Genes in Diabetic Nephropathy: Screening for Potential Targets of the Mechanism","source":"crossref","abstract":"Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common complication of diabetes, with immune‐mediated inflammation playing a significant role in its pathophysiology. The complement system, a key proinflammatory factor, is implicated in DN. This study was aimed at identifying diagnostic biomarkers related to the complement system in DN using bioinformatics methods. We analyzed three datasets (GSE96804, GSE104948, and GSE1009) from public databases, employing differential expression analysis and machine learning to identify complement system–related genes (CSRGs) as potential biomarkers. A diagnostic nomogram was constructed based on these genes, and immune microenvironment differences between the DN and control groups were explored. Gene interaction networks, enrichment analysis, and drug predictions were also conducted. Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to examine the causal links between identified biomarkers and DN. Our analysis identified five biomarkers (CKB, ANXA1, HSPA1L, CYP27B1, and XYLT1) associated with DN. A diagnostic nomogram based on these biomarkers showed high accuracy (model correction slope close to 1 and AUC close to 1). Immune infiltration analysis revealed significant differences in immune cell subsets between the DN and control groups. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) indicated that the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway was activated in CKB, HSPA1L, CYP27B1, and XYLT1 while inhibited in ANXA1. MR confirmed HSPA1L as a risk factor for DN (OR = 1.625, 95% CI: 1.272–2.076, p = 9.96e − 05). In conclusion, these five CSRGs may play significant roles in DN progression, providing a foundation for further research into DN pathogenesis and potential molecular markers for clinical diagnosis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/jdr/7117751","authors":["Lifang Wei","Ye Li","Yuhui Lu","Minmin Xu","Yue Yu","Lijie Li","Min Lin","Lifei Fan","Jing

From the perspective of the history of book circulation, this study examines the transoceanic dissemination of these TCM classics, which intuitively reflects the strong interest in TCM within Western society during the early modern period. As early as the 16th century, the TCM classics had already been introduced to Europe through Spain and Portugal, exemplified by the extant work Xin Kan Xu Shi Jia Chuan Jie Fa Zhen Jiu (《新刊徐氏家传捷法针灸》 Newly Printed Swift Acupuncture Methods Transmitted in the Xu Family ) preserved in Spain. Following the establishment of the Dutch East India Company, the Netherlands became a significant player in introducing TCM classics to Europe during the 17th century. At that time, Dutch scholars not only collected TCM classics but also exported them to other European countries, including present-day Britain, Italy, France, and Germany. Jesuit missionaries in China, such as Michal Boym (卜弥格) and Joachim Bouvet (白晋), also brought several TCM classics to Europe in the 17th century. By the 18th century, many Jesuits, including François Noël (卫方济), Kaspar Castner (庞嘉宾), Jean-François Foucquet (傅圣泽), and Jean-Joseph-Marie Amiot (钱德明), further introduced TCM classics to Europe.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000200","authors":["Hui XIE","Zhuan HAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-29T09:00:10Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000200","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000048476","name":"Integrative Mendelian randomization reveals the mediating role of immune cell traits in the causal pathway from gene expression to neonatal bacterial sepsis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Neonatal bacterial sepsis (NBS) remains a major global burden. Although immune dysfunction is central to its pathogenesis, the causal contribution of specific immune cell phenotypes and their upstream genetic regulation is unclear. This study aimed to test whether genetically predicted gene expression influences NBS risk through immune cell traits using an integrative two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) mediation framework. We combined eQTLGen whole-blood expression quantitative trait loci (n ≈ 30,000), genome-wide association study of 731 immune traits (Sardinian cohort, n ≈ 3757), and FinnGen R12 NBS summary statistics (P16_BACTERIAL_SEPSIS_NEWBO; 203 cases, 499,933 controls). Instruments met genome-wide significance, stringent linkage disequilibrium clumping, and F -statistic >10. Primary analyses used inverse-variance weighted MR, with MR-Egger and weighted median as sensitivity analyses. Mediation was estimated as the product of effects. Colocalization (coloc; summary-data-based Mendelian randomization-heterogeneity in dependent instruments) was used to evaluate shared causal variants. Heterogeneity (Cochran Q ), MR-Egger intercepts, leave-one-out, and reverse MR were performed. We identified 147 gene expressions and 23 immune traits associated with NBS after false discovery rate correction. Two-step MR yielded multiple gene–immune–NBS mediation chains, with CD28-related T-cell phenotypes consistently prominent. The TRPM4 → CD28 on double-negative T cells → NBS pathway showed the largest mediation proportion (~40.54%) and remained directionally consistent across sensitivity tests. Several colocalized signals (e.g., DBF4B , SNCA , SYCE1L ) supported shared variants with immune traits; however, not all corresponding mediation paths passed heterogeneity/sensitivity checks, and are therefore interpreted as suggestive rather than definitive. Associations involving CD64 on monocyte subsets were not robust across sensitivity analyses and were not retained as primary findings. Reverse MR did not indicate feedback from NBS liability to the immune traits prioritized in forward analyses. Genetically informed immune phenotypes (particularly CD28-related T-cell features and the broader CD8 bright /regulatory T cell axis) appear to partly mediate the effect of gene expression on NBS susceptibility. Colocalized mediation signals provide supportive, hypothesis-generating evidence but require cautious interpretation given sensitivity/heterogeneity findings. These results motivate neonatal-specific validation and functional studies to refine mechanistic targets for risk stratification.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000048476","authors":["Jing Liang","Rong Wei","Wei Yi","Junchang Chen","Dongxiao Li","Lin Xiao","Qiuru Lai","Qiuting Fang","Jibao Lü","Yingcai Wei","Jiaquan Yuan","Junhong Gan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-27T07:03:53Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000048476","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000048205","name":"Exploring the mechanisms of Cangfu Daotan decoction in homotherapy for heteropathy of polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, infertility, and obesity","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study aims to explore the mechanism of Cangfu Daotan decoction (CFDT) in treating polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, obesity, and infertility with homotherapy for heteropathy based on network pharmacology methods. The active components and corresponding protein targets of CFDT were identified through a systematic screening of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database, while disease-associated targets were retrieved from OMIM, Genecards, and DrugBank databases. Common targets were derived from Venn analysis and utilized to construct a protein–protein interaction network via STRING and Cytoscape 3.8.0, through which core targets were identified. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway assessment were subsequently performed on these key targets using R 4.1.1. Molecular docking simulations were finally conducted to evaluate binding interactions between pivotal bioactive compounds and the identified core targets. A total of 151 active ingredients, 238 drug targets and 2722 disease targets were screened. Among them, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and wogonin are the main active ingredients. TP53, AKT1, STAT3, IL6, and HSP90AA1 are the core therapeutic targets. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis screened 178 pathways, including lipid and atherosclerosis and advanced glycation end product (AGE)-receptor for AGE signal pathways in diabetes complications. Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis yielded 2423 Gene Ontology entries, mainly involving biological processes including heterologous stimulation, lipopolysaccharide response, oxidative stress, glandular development, as well as cellular composition including membrane rafts and vesicles, and molecular functions including DNA binding transcription factor binding and cytokine activity. Molecular docking shows that the active ingredients of CFDT have good affinity for core disease targets. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding affinity between key compounds and targets. It is preliminarily revealed that the main active ingredients of CFDT are quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin and wogonin, which may improve polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, obesity, and infertility by regulating lipid and atherosclerosis and AGE-receptor for AGE signal pathways in diabetes complications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000048205","authors":["Hongjing Chen","Li Deng","Haobo Chen","Binbin Cai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-17T14:01:04Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000048205","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1844022","name":"Case Report: rapid exacerbation of autoimmune hemolysis and severe immune - mediated thrombocytopenia induced by piperacillin – tazobactam","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background Piperacillin-tazobactam (PIP-TAZ) is characterized by its broad antimicrobial spectrum, strong antibacterial activity, and low toxicity, playing a vital role in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, with its widespread use, reports of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) and drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DITP) have begun to emerge. Due to the relatively rare clinical incidence of these conditions, clinicians often have an inadequate understanding and lack corresponding management experience. Fortunately, we encountered a case in clinical practice that we quickly identified and successfully treated. Case presentation An 83-year-old Chinese female patient was treated with PIP-TAZ for pneumonia. On the fourth day of treatment, she exhibited pronounced symptoms of jaundice, accompanied by elevated total bilirubin levels, severe hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Upon investigating the underlying cause, we found that the concentration of PIP-TAZ in her blood was significantly higher than the normal therapeutic range, and PIP-TAZ-dependent antibodies were detected in her serum. We ultimately diagnosed her with DIIHA combined with DITP. Following prompt recognition and management, the patient made a full recovery and was subsequently discharged. Conclusion This article presents a case of acute immune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia induced by PIP-TAZ. Effective treatment strategies include the prompt identification and discontinuation of the offending drug, blood transfusions, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), corticosteroid therapy, and careful monitoring of vital signs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1844022","authors":["Juan Liu","Zhongliang Shi","He Zhang","Mingfang Qian"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-17T04:44:05Z","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1844022","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53388/tmr20240920001","name":"Therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea: clinical efficacy and underlying mechanisms","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53388/tmr20240920001","authors":["Yun-Jing He","Wei-Jian Chen","Ke Nie"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-25T10:17:46Z","doi":"10.53388/tmr20240920001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12982-026-02139-y","name":"Examining individualized health responsibility in Chinese television medical talk shows comparing Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12982-026-02139-y","authors":["Ge Zhu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-15T02:48:05Z","doi":"10.1186/s12982-026-02139-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/mc9.0000000000000203","name":"The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in the Standardization and Internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) faces longstanding challenges in standardization and internationalization due to the subjective nature of pattern differentiation, variability in clinical practice, and limited integration with modern evidence-based medical systems. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies offer promising solutions to transform TCM into a more objective, quantifiable, and scientifically interpretable healthcare system. This paper reviews current applications of AI and big data in TCM, including diagnosis, Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and Tui Na (推拿), and clinical research. The roles of key AI technologies—including machine learning, computer vision, robotics, and network pharmacology—were examined across TCM data standardization, therapeutic optimization, evidence generation, and international translation. Regarding diagnostic outcomes, AI-assisted diagnostic systems have demonstrated promising performance in tongue, facial, pulse, voice, and symptom analysis, improving the objectivity and reproducibility of pattern differentiation. In Chinese herbal medicine, AI facilitates quality control, active compound discovery, herb–medicine interaction prediction, and mechanistic analysis through network pharmacology and multi-omics integration. Furthermore, robotic and AI-assisted acupuncture and Tui Na systems improve procedural precision, consistency, and safety while supporting standardized education and training. In clinical research, moreover, AI enhances patient recruitment, remote monitoring, data management, adverse event detection, and evidence generation through the integration of electronic health records, wearable technologies, and knowledge graphs. Despite these advances, significant challenges remain, including limited availability of standardized datasets, privacy and ethical concerns, insufficient model explainability, regulatory uncertainty, and the complexity of multi-component TCM interventions. In conclusion, while these challenges persist, AI and big data hold substantial potential to modernize and internationalize TCM by transforming traditionally experience-based practices into reproducible and evidence-supported systems. Through standardized data acquisition, explainable AI models, multimodal data integration, and alignment with international regulatory and biomedical frameworks, AI may serve as a critical bridge between TCM and modern healthcare systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/mc9.0000000000000203","authors":["Huangyan CHEN","Linda LD Zhong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-08T08:00:15Z","doi":"10.1097/mc9.0000000000000203","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000047572","name":"Short-term outcomes after hybrid unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study with minimum 3-year follow-up","source":"crossref","abstract":"This study aims to evaluate the survival rate and short-term clinical outcomes of hybrid unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). We retrospectively analyzed 155 Oxford phase-3 hybrid UKAs in 155 patients who were followed for more than 3 years. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were generated using revision as an endpoint. Oxford knee score (OKS) and range of motion (ROM) were evaluated for clinical assessment, and radiographs were used to assess implant-related complications. At an average follow-up of 3.6 years (range, 3–6 years), 2 knees required revision. The reasons for revision were bearing dislocation and unexplained pain. The overall survival rate was 98.7% at the 6-year follow-up. The mean OKS decreased from 40.94 ± 4.86 to 14.84 ± 1.39 at the last follow-up ( P < .001). The mean OKS showed a significant improvement during the first 2 years. The mean ROM improved from 104.81 ± 10.03° to 114.93 ± 7.51° at the last follow-up ( P < .001). The mean ROM increased during the first 3 years. Radiolucent lines were observed in 6 cases at 6 years postoperatively, affecting 4 knees. At 6 years postoperatively, the following complication rates were observed: overall revision rate: 1.33% (2/150); deep vein thrombosis rate: 3.33% (5/150); chronic soft tissue pain rate: 1.33% (2/150); stiffness rate: 0.67% (1/150); prosthesis dislocation rate: 0.67% (1/150); lateral meniscus injury rate: 0.67% (1/150); lateral arthritis progression rate: 2.67% (4/150). Oxford phase-3 hybrid UKA provides good survival rates and clinical outcomes in the short-term follow-up.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000047572","authors":["Yunchao Zhao","Tingting Zhou","Qingpeng Fang","Yijie Yang","Pengpeng Wang","Xiaoming Li","Jianyong Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-20T20:00:57Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000047572","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103329","name":"Efficacy of acupuncture for chronic recalcitrant plantar fasciitis: A randomized trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103329","authors":["Weiming Wang","Jing Kang","Xi Wang","Lili Zhu","Kehua Zhou","Zhiwei Zang","Ruimin Jiao","Weina Zhang","Jiaxiang Shi","Yan Liu","Zhishun Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-17T20:08:51Z","doi":"10.1016/j.ctim.2026.103329","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2025-0040","name":"Integrating multi-omics technologies in traditional Chinese medicine: Novel insights into cancer therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2025-0040","authors":["Xin Guo","Lijun Zhang","Ye Wu","Xin Luan","Guangbo Ge"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-16T11:45:43Z","doi":"10.70976/j.2096-0964.wjim-2025-0040","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_9","name":"Recuperation, Diet and Taboo: The Transformation of Classical Theory in the World of the Sick","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_9","authors":["Kuoli Pi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-11T09:21:31Z","doi":"10.1007/978-981-95-2832-5_9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jtcme.2025.07.002","name":"Zhoushi Qiling decoction inhibits neuregulin 1 secreted from cancer-associated fibroblasts to ameliorate enzalutamide resistance in prostate cancer","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcme.2025.07.002","authors":["Chunyu Wang","Hongwen Cao","Peng Sun","Lei Chen","Yigeng Feng","Renjie Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-08T11:20:51Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jtcme.2025.07.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.05.027","name":"Study on the Application of the Modified Mini-CEX in the Clinical Teaching of Pediatrics of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.05.027","authors":["Lizhong REN","Aiqin HAO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T00:55:12Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.05.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.002","name":"Construction of the clinical diagnosis and treatment model during the “pre-disease to disease” window period in traditional Chinese medicine: integration of objective multimodal data from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine stateology","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.002","authors":["Li Danyang","Ai Min","Zhou Pai","Deng Ying","Yang Chaoyang","Peng Qinghua"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-11T23:47:21Z","doi":"10.1016/j.dcmed.2026.05.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2139/ssrn.6636878","name":"From Pattern Differentiation to State-Space Medicine: A Control-Theoretic Framework for Whole-Patient Clinical Regulation in Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Pattern differentiation and treatment constitute the core diagnostic and therapeutic methodology of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its essential principle lying in the dynamic regulation of the patient's overall functional state.

Within this framework, patterns are formalized as latent state variables representing the global functional configuration of the patient; clinical observations are treated as partial projections of these states; diagnosis is interpreted as a process of state estimation; and treatment is formulated as adaptive feedback control acting on the state space. In this way, pattern differentiation is transformed from an empirical rule system into a dynamically operating regulatory process. <br> <br> To capture the holistic-local structure inherent in TCM, a hierarchical state-space architecture is introduced, linking global functional patterns and subsystem-level patterns through structured coupling relationships. In addition, the classical formula-pattern system is reinterpreted as a mapping between regions of the state space and control strategies, providing a computable representation of therapeutic knowledge. <br> <br> Beyond its domain-specific application, this framework addresses a general problem in complex systems: how to achieve global regulation under conditions of partial observability and mechanistic incompleteness. By explicitly defining the whole-patient state as the object of inference and control, this work provides a unified and extensible structural foundation for clinical decision-making, systems science, and intelligent medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6636878","authors":["Bing Yuan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-29T13:24:24Z","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.6636878","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000046890","name":"Ultrasound in medicine from 2014 to 2024: A bibliometric review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: The unique physical properties of ultrasound technology have led to its increasing recognition in recent years, rendering it an indispensable component in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.

To date, PD treatment in Western medicine has been based on surgical procedures and dopamine replacement therapy with levodopa. However, long-term use of levodopa preparations can result in diminished efficacy and adverse reactions such as motor complications, thus posing a medication dilemma and significantly affecting patients’ quality of life. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment focuses on diagnosing and treating PD according to the mechanisms of wind, fire, phlegm, blood stasis, and deficiency. Moreover, TCM in clinical practice uses multi-target, multi-component formulas providing unique advantages in alleviating PD symptoms. However, achieving widespread use of TCM in PD treatment would require overcoming multiple barriers, including difficulties in understanding TCM theory from a modern medical perspective, insufficient research on the mechanisms underlying TCM’s efficacy, the weak evidence base for TCM and the dominance of Western medicine, and insufficient public and professional awareness. This review, considering the current state of PD treatment, and the similarities and differences between TCM and Western medicine, summarizes understanding of PD from ancient TCM theory to the application of modern TCM in PD treatment. This review is aimed at clarifying the advantages of combining TCM with Western medicine in PD treatment and providing insights into future treatment strategies for PD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15212/npt-2025-0006","authors":["Zihan Huang","Xiaomin Lin","Wenjun Duan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-30T05:00:14Z","doi":"10.15212/npt-2025-0006","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s10616-026-00948-2","name":"Naringenin suppresses colorectal Cancer progression by targeting the Gankyrin/PI3K /AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling Axis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10616-026-00948-2","authors":["Chengxing Wang","Weixing Lin","Chunbo Wu","Chaorong Zhou","Yuan Gao","Yongfeng Ma","Canxiu He","Jianchang Wei","Lianmei Li","Rihui Wu","Jinglin Zhao","Yaoming He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-11T04:55:10Z","doi":"10.1007/s10616-026-00948-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.004","name":"Impact of sequential traditional Chinese medicine intervention on pregnancy outcomes of intrauterine insemination: A retrospective cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.004","authors":["Nan Li","Xiao-li Yan","Li-jun Wang","Hui Zhang","Mei Chen","Jun Bai","Na Ji","Yu-dong Zhang","Yuan Pang","Hai-jing Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-12T08:08:48Z","doi":"10.1016/j.joim.2026.03.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.424Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41591-025-04122-7","name":"China’s evidence-based re-evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine injections","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-04122-7","authors":["Chen Chen","Ziwei Hou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-08T10:02:34Z","doi":"10.1038/s41591-025-04122-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.18063/lne.v4i3.1825","name":"Research on Landscape Design of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals Based on the Concept of Protection and Development of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Based on the dual contemporary demands of the revitalization and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine intangible cultural heritage and the improvement of the health care space quality in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, this study explores the current issues of superficial integration, cultural disconnection, and functional imbalance between the two.

Existing Western medical treatments have limitations such as significant side effects, poor adherence, and high relapse rates. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with its advantages of multi-target effects, minimal side effects, and holistic management of body and mind, provides new approaches for the treatment of SUD. This article systematically reviews 18 related studies, summarizing TCM’s understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of SUD. It holds that ‘addictive toxins’ damage qi, blood, and yin-yang, leading to disharmony among the internal organs, mainly affecting the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys, often accompanied by pathological products such as phlegm, blood stasis, and dampness. Based on this, the article reviews clinical and experimental evidence of TCM interventions, including herbal formulas (such as Compound 511, modified Shenling Baizhu decoction, and Anshen formula), acupuncture (including electroacupuncture and auricular acupuncture), tuina (such as Yizhi Chan massage technique), and guiding exercises, in alleviating withdrawal symptoms, reducing psychological cravings, improving comorbid anxiety and depression, and restoring cognitive function. The mechanisms of action are discussed, primarily including regulation of neurotransmitter levels in the mesolimbic dopamine system (such as DA, 5-HT, NE, GABA), modulation of the BDNF signaling pathway to repair neuronal plasticity, regulation of circRNA expression profiles, and regulation of neuroinflammatory responses. This review finds that TCM treatment for SUD is effective and possesses unique advantages, restoring the body’s homeostasis through multi-level, multi-target integrated regulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.18178/ijpmbs.15.2.20-23","authors":["Yuqing He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-28T07:45:21Z","doi":"10.18178/ijpmbs.15.2.20-23","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.1009-8011.chc202512020002","name":"Application of Rehabilitation Nursing Based on Appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques in Paediatric Pneumonia Patients","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.1009-8011.chc202512020002","authors":["Jing YANG","Jing SUN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-23T01:49:26Z","doi":"10.70976/j.1009-8011.chc202512020002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.154194","name":"Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.154194","authors":["继东 田"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-04-07T07:50:32Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.154194","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/gscm.0000000000000112","name":"Effects of Paeonol and Poria cocos polysaccharide combination on regulating glycolipid metabolism homeostasis in rats with myocardial infarction","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective: To investigate the effects of Paeonol-Poria cocos polysaccharide combination on the regulation of glycolipid metabolism in rats with myocardial infarction by targeted metabolomics. Methods: A rat myocardial infarction model was established. Echocardiography, histopathology and metabolomics were used to assess the efficacy of the combination therapy. Results: The results demonstrated that Paeonol - Poria cocos polysaccharide combination led to significant improvements in cardiac function, with a reduction in ventricular dilatation and fibrosis. Metabolomics analysis identified 7 differential metabolites, significantly enriched in 5 core pathways: 1) protein digestion and absorption, 2) carbon metabolism in cancer centers, 3) arginine biosynthesis, 4) aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and 5) ABC transport pathway, which highlights the unique advantages of Traditional Chinese medicine’s multi-targeted metabolic modulation in the treatment of myocardial infarction. Conclusion: The combination of Paeonol - Poria cocos polysaccharide demonstrated significant improvements in cardiac function and inhibited ventricular dilatation and fibrosis in rats with myocardial infarction. This was achieved by synergistically regulating 5 core metabolic pathways: protein digestion and absorption, carbon metabolism in tumor centers, arginine biosynthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and ABC transporter protein.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/gscm.0000000000000112","authors":["Xinnan Wang","Xinyue Lu","Ziqi Tian","Yanxin Jiang","Zhiqian Song","Zhangchi Ning","Chen Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-17T13:00:47Z","doi":"10.1097/gscm.0000000000000112","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.fitote.2025.107043","name":"Antioxidant active ingredients from the seeds of Dimocarpus longan Lour","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fitote.2025.107043","authors":["Bin Liu","Yang Xu","Lingxiao Ren","Xiaofen Liu","Lixia Chen","Hua Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-23T16:18:47Z","doi":"10.1016/j.fitote.2025.107043","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12879-026-12520-6","name":"Admission fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio and mortality in older adults hospitalized with pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-026-12520-6","authors":["Shengyuan Zhou","Yuxin Yang","Xinyue Zhang","Tongyan Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-17T08:33:18Z","doi":"10.1186/s12879-026-12520-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.152119","name":"A Review of Clinical Studies on Treating Interstitial Lung Disease with External Therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.152119","authors":["小林 邱"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-14T06:01:08Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.152119","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.015","name":"Clinical Experience of Distinguished Traditional Chinese Medicine Professor Wei Xiong in the Treatment of Proteinuria in Diabetic Nephropathy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.015","authors":["Tairong LIAO","Xiong WEI","Xiaoli NAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-22T00:51:08Z","doi":"10.70976/j.issn.1003-8914.2026.03.015","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/9789819832385_bmatter","name":"BACK MATTER","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/9789819832385_bmatter","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-07T01:00:14Z","doi":"10.1142/9789819832385_bmatter","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.12677/tcm.2026.156325","name":"Discussion on Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Management of Chronic Prostatitis Based on Collateral Disease Theory","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.12677/tcm.2026.156325","authors":["籽良 吴"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-15T08:00:26Z","doi":"10.12677/tcm.2026.156325","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2025.120814","name":"Calomelas and its preparations: Paradigms of traditional Chinese external medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2025.120814","authors":["Qingxia Gan","Jingjing Yang","Lu Yang","Yu Yang","Jin Wang","Qinwan Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-26T06:53:06Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2025.120814","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.59565/spdh4989","name":"The Relationship Between Fire (Heart) and Water (Kidney) and the Pathophysiology of Shen Disturbance in Chinese Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"In traditional Chinese medicine, communication between the Heart and Kidney is essential for emotional, mental, and physiologic stability. This relationship is described as “harmony between Heart and Kidney,” or the harmonious balance between Fire and Water. Dynamic communication between these two Zang organs depends on the balanced descent of Heart Yang from the Upper Jiao to warm and support the Kidney, and the ascent of Kidney Yin from the Lower Jiao to nourish and cool the Heart. When Water rises and Fire descends appropriately, Yin and Yang remain balanced and the Shen is normal. Disharmony between the Heart and Kidney (Xin Shen Bu Jiao), is commonly observed in veterinary patients with behavioral disorders. Two common root (ben) patterns include Kidney Yin Deficiency with Heart Fire Hyperactivity, and Kidney Qi-Yang Deficiency with Heart Fire Hyperactivity. These patterns rarely occur in isolation and are often accompanied by secondary pattern disharmonies, including Liver Yin and Blood Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation and Liver Fire, Spleen and Heart Qi-Yin Deficiency, Phlegm Fire Misting the Mind; and in cognitive dysfunction, Brain Qi-Blood Stagnation. Layered patterns are common and should be expected rather than considered unusual.

Increasing evidence indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with the onset and progression of various diseases, highlighting a complex mutual relationship. Investigating the interaction between TCM techniques and gut microbiota may provide both a theoretical and practical foundation for clinical application. However, comprehensive systematic analyses remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to identify core themes and emerging trends in research on the interactions between TCM techniques and gut microbiota. In addition, it sought to explore underlying correlations using data mining approaches to provide insights supporting clinical applications and mechanistic studies. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for bibliometric analysis. Co-occurrence analysis was performed using CiteSpace software to identify research characteristics and development trends. Key data were extracted and visualized through an interactive network diagram generated with Cytoscape. Results: Current research predominantly focuses on acupoint application, moxibustion, and TCM enema, all of which exhibit significant effects in promoting beneficial microbiota and suppressing pathogenic strains. The regulatory impact of these TCM techniques on gut microbiota is closely associated with inflammatory response pathways and immunity. Conclusions: TCM techniques are extensively applied in disease management. Among them, moxibustion, acupoint application, TCM enema, and Tuina remain prominent and evolving areas of interest. Further empirical research is warranted to elucidate the biological mechanism underpinning these effects within the guidance of TCM pattern theory.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_54_25","authors":["Bing-Qian Zou","Ming-Ming Shang","Jun-Xin Wang","Xin-Yue Zhang","Maryam Moossavi","Xue-Ling Ma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-11T13:00:09Z","doi":"10.4103/wjtcm.wjtcm_54_25","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/decision1","name":"Decision letter for \"Molecular Sensing Transforms Olfactory Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Critical Review\"","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/decision1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-05T21:08:59Z","doi":"10.1039/d5sd00196j/v2/decision1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.456Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100846","name":"From Qi to synapse: A systems-based review of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the treatment of major depressive disorder","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100846","authors":["Seema Sharma","Nishant Tiwari","Sneha Kumari","Sourabh D Jain","Sampat Singh Tanwar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-08T00:15:12Z","doi":"10.1016/j.prmcm.2026.100846","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.425Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1142/s0192415x21500865","name":"Using Metabolomics in Diabetes Management with Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"The incidence of diabetes worldwide continues to rise, placing a huge economic and medical burden on human society. More than 90% of diabetic cases are type 2 diabetes (T2D). At present, the pathogenesis of T2D is not yet fully understood. Metabolomics uses high-resolution analytical techniques (typically NMR and MS) to help identify biomarkers associated with the risk of T2D and reveal potential pathogenesis. Many metabolites such as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), aromatic amino acids, glycine, 2-hydroxybutyric acid (2-HB), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) (18:2), and trehalose have proven to be biomarkers of T2D. Insulin resistance (IR) induced by BCAA in T2D mice is related to the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1). Incomplete LCFA [Formula: see text]-oxidation promote acylcarnitine byproduct accumulation and stimulates proinflammatory NF[Formula: see text]B-related pathways to inhibit insulin action. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) presents unique advantages in the treatment of T2D. Multiple metabolites and metabolic pathways have been identified in the treatment of TCM, providing valuable biomarkers and novel targets for drug therapy and pharmacological mechanism. Therefore, this paper reviews the modern achievements of metabolomics in T2D research and the progress of TCM management in recent years, in order to provide valuable information for related research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0192415x21500865","authors":["Yanling He","Hefang Zhang","Yufei Yang","Xianghui Yu","Xiao Zhang","Qiaolin Xing","Gengliang Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-28T07:37:07Z","doi":"10.1142/s0192415x21500865","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21956/mep.19409.r28482","name":"Peer Review Report For: Reforming Medical Education in China: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective [version 1]","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21956/mep.19409.r28482","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-21T19:42:07Z","doi":"10.21956/mep.19409.r28482","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22415/clr.2017.32..013","name":"A study on Benefit-Sharing Provisions of Traditional Chinese Medicine Knowledge","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22415/clr.2017.32..013","authors":["Ryu Yeri"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-12-19T01:50:31Z","doi":"10.22415/clr.2017.32..013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.32388/rn42km","name":"The Application and Pathway Regulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Lung Cancer Treatment: An Exploratory Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Lung cancer is one of the cancers with the highest mortality rates. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of lung cancer cases and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Due to the lack of effective molecular targets, the current clinical cure rate is low, and the recurrence rate is high. Recent studies have found that active components of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal formulas can inhibit the development of NSCLC through multiple pathways and targets, effectively reducing its metastasis and recurrence rates, improving treatment side effects, and compensating for the deficiencies in drug resistance. Although treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have achieved better clinical efficacy in treating lung cancer, they still have problems such as multiple complications and severe adverse reactions. In recent years, numerous basic and clinical studies have confirmed the good effects of traditional Chinese medicine in treating lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine has a synergistic regulatory effect through multiple components, targets, pathways, and channels. The numerous active monomeric components and complex mechanisms of action determine that there are issues such as unclear related mechanisms of action in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer by traditional Chinese medicine. There is an urgent need to elucidate the mechanisms of action of traditional Chinese medicine in intervening in lung cancer from the perspective of modern medicine, and at the levels of molecular biology, network pharmacology, etc. This article systematically summarizes the research progress on the regulation of the above-mentioned signaling pathways and the expression of key protein molecules by traditional Chinese medicine monomers or formulas, aiming to clarify the mechanisms of action of traditional Chinese medicine in the progression of lung cancer, and to provide ideas and a theoretical basis for the in-depth study and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in intervening in lung cancer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.32388/rn42km","authors":["Jinghan Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-03-04T10:42:58Z","doi":"10.32388/rn42km","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2020.4.0131","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine For the Treatment of pulmonary fibrosis Protocol for an overview of systematic review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2020.4.0131","authors":["Lijuan Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-04-22T02:36:59Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2020.4.0131","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1017/s106279870300022x","name":"The integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world's oldest medical systems, having a history of several thousands of years. It is a system of healing based upon the Chinese philosophy of the correspondence between nature and human beings. Its theories refer to yin and yang , the Five Elements, zang-fu , channels-collaterals, qi , blood, body fluid, methods of diagnosis, the differentiation of symptom-complexes, etc. TCM has two main features: a holistic point of view and treatment according to a differentiation of syndromes. The therapeutic methods of TCM involve different approaches, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina bodywork, herbal medicine and qi gong , in order to allow the body to heal itself in a natural way. Western medicine was first introduced into China from the middle of the 17th century. During the first two centuries several different views, related to the future of TCM and the relation between TCM and Western medicine, emerged. Some advocated ‘complete westernization’ of Chinese medicine, others were in favour of keeping it intact, whereas again others recommended the ‘digestion and assimilation of TCM and Western medicine’. Nowadays, more and more people realize that each of the two medical traditions has its own merits and advise that the two systems should benefit from each other's strong points. We offer an argument for integrating Western medicine with TCM. In the 20th century China has maintained and developed three kinds of medical science, that is, TCM, Western medicine, and ‘integrated medicine’. Much has been achieved in clinical, experimental and theoretical research. The development of any science can be furthered by cross-fertilization based on absorption and fusion of whatever useful theory and experience. It is our dream that, in the future, diverse modalities – including TCM, Western medicine and possibly other variants – can work in conjunction with each other as part of a unified team rather than in competition. This integrated approach will ultimately lead to safer, faster and more effective health care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1017/s106279870300022x","authors":["CHEN KEJI","XU HAO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2003-10-16T10:06:57Z","doi":"10.1017/s106279870300022x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21956/mep.19409.r28481","name":"Peer Review Report For: Reforming Medical Education in China: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective [version 1]","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21956/mep.19409.r28481","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-11-21T19:42:07Z","doi":"10.21956/mep.19409.r28481","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2021.8.0084","name":"Chinese Medicine Therapies for Neurogenic Bladder after Spinal Cord Injury: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"Neurogenic bladder (NB), a refractory disease, is characterized by voiding dysfunction of bladder and/or urethra, and spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common cause.

Therefore, multiple therapeutic strategies that target IR should be applied to provide a more effective means of treatment. It aims to determine Tuina’s efficacy and safety for IR through this systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods From the inception to July 31, 2023, we will search four English databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science) and two Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database). We will search and include studies of both human and animal models that evaluate Tuina’s effects on insulin sensitivity or resistance. Data selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment will be made by two independent reviewers. We will evaluate the methodological quality of all included studies and conduct meta-analyses using Review Manager Software 5.4.1. Discussion In both animal and human studies, the effects and safety of Tuina for IR will be evaluated. The evidence generated bythis study will validate effects and safety of Tuinain treating IR and inform future research and clinical decision-making.

Condition being studied: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic inflammatory disease in the upper airways, causing nasal congestion, itching, runny nose, and sneezing. It has serious impacts on people's quality of lives, and affects economic growth indirectly. Epidemiological studies revealed that 10% to 40% of the population were suffering from AR worldwide. In addition, children are more likely to develop allergic rhinitis than adults. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children is 25% worldwide, and 4% ~ 31% in China. Eligibility criteria: (1) Trials in which children were AR, and the diagnosis of \"AR\" was in line with the international guidelines. (2) Children’s age was limited of 0-18 years, and they were born and lived in China and at least one year of exposure to air pollution.(3) Air pollutant concentration in the test was derived from the mean value of data provided by ambient air detectors. (Include NO2, SO2, O3, PM10, PM2.5) (4) Literatures only include cross-sectional studies, cohort and case-control studies. (5) All of these articles provide data that allows us to calculate 95% confidence interval (CI) of the influence of air pollutants on AR.

Databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Chinese BioMedical database (CBM), and the Wanfang database were searched up to October 2018 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). After screening the studies, extracting the data, and assessing the study quality, Cochrane RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct a meta-analysis. Twelve RCTs involving 1178 patients were included. Regarding the therapeutic effects, total effective treatment rate was higher for the KTC+HT groups compared to the HT-only groups. Furthermore, compared with HT, KTC+HR effectively altered endocrine indexes involving serum levels of luteinizing hormone (weighted mean difference [ WMD ]=-3.47, 95% CI [5.68, -1.26], P =0.002]), follicle-stimulating hormone [ WMD =-8.15, 95% CI [-10.44, -5.86], P <0.00001], estrogen [ WMD =17.21, 95% CI [10.16, 24.26], P <0.00001], and anti-Müllerian hormone [ WMD =1.07, 95% CI [0.78, 1.36], P <0.00001]; blood lipid indexes involving serum levels of triglyceride ( WMD =-0.55, 95% CI [-0.76, -0.43], P <0.00001), total cholesterol ( WMD =-0.63, 95% CI [-0.74, -0.52], P <0.00001), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( WMD =-0.62, 95% CI [-0.75, -0.49], P <0.00001); and B-ultrasound results involving ovarian resistance index ( WMD =-0.20, 95% CI [-0.35, -0.04], P =0.01), perfusion index ( WMD =-0.41, 95% CI [-0.57, -0.24], P <0.00001), peak systolic velocity ( WMD =2.43, 95% CI [1.52, 3.34], P <0.00001), antral follicle count ( WMD =1.20, 95% CI [0.41, 2.00], P =0.003), and mean ovarian diameter in the plane containing the longest axis of the ovary ( WMD =4.34, 95% CI [2.94, 5.74], P <0.00001). There were no serious adverse events in either group. There is evidence that KTC+HT is more effective and safer than HT alone for treating POF. However, the trials had low methodological quality and small samples, so further standardized research is required.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/2085804","authors":["Weiping Liu","Truong-Nam Nguyen","Thu-Van Tran Thi","Shaohu Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-06-26T19:30:37Z","doi":"10.1155/2019/2085804","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2021.12.0101","name":"Efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of postprandial distress syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2021.12.0101","authors":["Ganchen Xiao","Yingtao Zhao","Xingyu Chen"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-12-23T07:09:58Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2021.12.0101","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30054-1","name":"Herb-drug enzyme-mediated interactions and the associated experimental methods: a review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30054-1","authors":["Li Bo","Zhao Baosheng","Liu Yang","Tang Mingmin","Lüe Beiran","Luo Zhiqiang","Zhai Huaqiang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-10T22:39:25Z","doi":"10.1016/s0254-6272(16)30054-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2022.1.0016","name":"Effect of electric stimulation on patients with facial paralysis: A systematic review and Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"Review question / Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of electric stimulation on patients with facial paralysis through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

In recent years, due to increased life pressure, unhealthy eating habits and environment, the incidence of gastric ulcer has increased year by year. Because the disease has a long treatment cycle and is prone to relapse, if it cannot be controlled in time, it can cause the disease to prolong, affect the daily life and health of the patient, and even cause complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcer perforation, and pyloric obstruction. Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the main causes of GU. Clinically, the curative effect of western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine cannot reach the ideal level, so in recent years, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine has been highly praised. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Chinese medicine combined with omeprazole for GU. Methods: The data and information will be retrieved from the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang data. Literature search is limited to Chinese and English. The search time range is from the establishment of the database to April 7, 2021. The search strategy uses a combination of subject terms and free words to search. In order to avoid omissions, the search scope includes subject terms, keywords, or full text. Two reviewers will independently exclude substandard articles and extract eligible data. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. RevMan 5.3 will be used for systematic review and meta-analysis. This protocol will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement, and the systematic review will be reported with the PRISMA statement. Results and conclusion: The efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine combined with omeprazole for the treatment of GU will be evaluated, and the conclusion will be published to provide medical evidence for a better clinical decision of patients with GU.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000025744","authors":["Cheng Xie","Langhui Liu","Suyou Zhu","Mingquan Wei"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-28T03:03:20Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000025744","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4268/cjcmm20140502","name":"Relationship of stroke and carotid intima-media thickness and traditional Chinese medicine intervention progress：a review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4268/cjcmm20140502","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-07-21T09:40:43Z","doi":"10.4268/cjcmm20140502","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.455Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000020974","name":"Different acupuncture therapies for spastic paralysis after stroke","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract Background: Stroke is emerging as a significant health issue that threatens human health worldwide and as a common sequela of stroke spastic paralysis after stroke (SPAS) has received wide attention. Currently, several systematic reviews have suggested that the commonly used acupuncture therapy (electroacupuncture, fire acupuncture, warm acupuncture, and filiform needle acupuncture) has achieved significant efficacy in the treatment of SPAS. In this study, network meta-analysis will be used to analyze the results of different clinical trials and evaluate the differences in the efficacy of different acupuncture treatments for SPAS. Methods: Only randomized controlled trials will be included and all patients were diagnosed as spastic paralysis after stroke.

Children were assessed using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales- Second Edition (PDMS-2) for motor ability and the Comprehensive Developmental Inventory for Infants and Toddlers (CDIIT) for overall development.Results: Among five domains of MPOC-56-TC, ´Providing General Information´ domain was the lowest and ´Respectful and Supportive Care´ domain was the highest. Parental perceptions of 'Respectful and Supportive Care' domain of the MPOC-56-TC were positively associated with children's total motor quotients of the PDMS-2 (rs=.31) and global developmental quotients of the CDIIT (rs= .37). It indicated that parents of children with milder motor or global delays might perceive more respectful and support from the FCEI services. The PSI-SF-C were inversely related to the mean scores of 'Coordinated and Comprehensive Care' and 'Respectful and Supportive Care' domains of the MPOC-56-TC (rs= -.30 and -.30 respectively). It indicated that parents with higher parenting stress might perceive less extent of the FCEI services.Conclusion(s): Among two hospital-based FCEI programs, general information was provided least from the parents' perception. Children's developmental severity and parental stress are associated the extent of perception of FCEI by parents.Implications: FCEI service providers can use the results of MPOC-56-TC and its associate factors to enhance the quality of FCEI and empower families.Keywords: Motor delay, family-centered service, pediatric rehabilitationFunding acknowledgements: This manuscript was partially supported from the Chang Gung Medical Foundation, Taiwan, ROC (CMRPD1E0191, CMRPD1E0192 and BMRP652) to Dr. Liu.Topic: Paediatrics; Professional practice: other; Disability & rehabilitationEthics approval required: YesInstitution: Chang Gung Memorial HospitalEthics committee: Chang Gung Medical Foundation Institutional Review BoardEthics number: 102-5535A3All authors, affiliations and abstracts have been published as submitted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.82161/f6ta-jb43","authors":["Jo-Hua Hung","Wen-Yu Liu","Yang-Hua Lin","Hua-Fang Liao","Alice May-Kuen Wong"],"tags":["Paediatrics"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019","doi":"10.82161/f6ta-jb43","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.82161/cvvc-g378","name":"CHINESE PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS' READINESS TO CLINICALLY APPLY THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT CARD","source":"datacite","abstract":"Jones AYM1, Wu XB2,3, Bai YW3, Han J4, Dean E51University of Sydney, Physiotherapy Discipline, Sydney, Australia, 2Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Physical Therapy, Shanghai, China, 3Seventh People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Physical Therapy, Shanghai, China, 4Shanghai University of Sports, Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation Department, Shanghai, China, 5University of British Columbia, Department of Physical Therapy, Vancouver, CanadaBackground: Non-communicable diseases are a WHO priority, particularly in countries with fast-growing economics including China. To assess adults' health indices/attributes/lifestyle risk factors, the World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) has designed a Health Improvement Card (HIC), a simple assessment/education tool to be used by health professionals. Health indices/attributes/lifestyle behaviours are categorized as low-, moderate-, and high-risk.Purpose: To investigate the health indices/attributes/lifestyles of Chinese physiotherapy students with self-administration of the HIC, and their perceptions of its utility as an assessment/education tool when administering it to another person.Methods: Physiotherapy students from two Chinese universities who completed a tutorial on the HIC were invited to participate in this study and required to: 1. complete the Chinese HIC 2. complete a questionnaire on “Students' perceptions of the HIC” 3. invite a friend/relative to complete the HIC with the student administering it 4. provide feedback on challenges encountered when assisting a friend/relative complete the HIC. Returned questionnaires provided student consent.Results: Completed HIC and questionnaires were returned by 81 students (response rate=99%). All participants were between 20-34 y. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.9+5.4 and 20.5+2.6 kg.m-2 for men and women participants, respectively. No participant had cholesterol or fasting-sugar data. Over 80% of participants had low-risk BMIs (82%) and blood pressure (BP) (91%). About 90% of participants had dietary habits in the moderate-risk zone; 41% exercised within the healthy low-risk zone. Those with BMIs, BPs, diet and/or exercise habits in the moderate-risk and high-risk zones were committed to achieving the low-risk zone within 1-2 months. Of 81 friends/relatives who participated, 25% had exercise habits in the high-risk zone. Student participants agreed that physiotherapists should introduce the HIC to patients. 91% agreed that they understood the HIC's purpose and could identify instances of its use to improve patient outcomes (95%) and provide lifestyle advice (96%). They concurred the HIC was easy to complete and useful in developing lifestyle education programmes. Regarding challenges, all mentioned the inability to obtain cholesterol and fasting-sugar data. Some were unclear about serving-size quantities and lacked confidence to effect lifestyle change in others. To facilitate HIC use, participants' suggestions included online tutorials, physiotherapists' use of portable equipment to obtain cholesterol and sugar data, inclusion of sleep-health and mood-related questions in the HIC and objectifying dietary/alcohol quantities.Conclusion(s): With exposure to the HIC, students appeared confident in providing lifestyle advice to friends/relatives.Implications: Introducing the HIC in physiotherapy curricula may enhance students' confidence in assisting patients address non-communicable diseases risk factors. We explored one way of sensitising emerging physiotherapists to their responsibility to assess health/attributes/lifestyle non communicable disease risk factors routinely with a tool such as the HIC, and to use its information to target health education and as a re-evaluation tool.Keywords: Health-Improvement-Card, physiotherapy educationFunding acknowledgements: Not applicableTopic: Education: methods of teaching & learning; Educatio","url":"https://doi.org/10.82161/cvvc-g378","authors":["A.Y.M.

Skordis1, S. Nanas1, A. Philippou11National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Medical School, Athens, GreeceBackground: Acupuncture is especially popular in sports medicine and related fields. Relative studies have revealed that the prevalence of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) among intercollegiate student athletes of University of Hawaii was 56%, higher than the respective in adults in the United States and Hawaii. This is because it is a more natural, safe and legal method as opposed to doping, affecting important functional parameters such as muscle performance.Purpose: This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture on physiological, neuromuscular and hormonal parameters in aerobic sports.Methods: The study protocol was based on PRISMA. The studies were selected by comprehensive searching through the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, Google Scholar, Cochrane and Taylor & Francis. A variety of key words entered in the search algorithm in a total of 54 potential combinations: “Acupuncture” “Traditional Chinese Acupuncture”, “Dry needling”, “Aerobic sports”, “Endurance sports”, “Physiological parameters”, “Neuromuscular parameters”, “Hormonal parameters”, “Haemodynamic parameters” “Strength”, “DOMS”, “Physical performance” and “Human performance”. A total of 436 articles was revealed. After title screening and application of inclusion -studies published in full text, athletes participating in aerobic sports, acupuncture as a sole treatment in the intervention group, at least one physiological/neuromuscular/hormonal examined variable- and exclusion criteria -systematic or semi-systematic reviews, reviews, meta-analyses, book chapters, theses-, 430 articles were removed and 6 studies were finally included. Methodological quality of the selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was evaluated with PEDro scale. Five or more was considered an acceptable score.Results: The mean age of the participants in all 6 studies was 19.3 years (SD=4.56). One out of 6 studies was RCT and its score was 7 (i.e. of high methodological quality). In addition, 2 prospective feasibility and 2 experimental studies, as well as and 1 prospective, single-blind, patient as own control, crossover study were included in this systematic review. The majority of them was assessed Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and blood lactate concentration using a VAS scale and a lactate analyser, respectively. Other outcome measures were ROM of Straight Leg Raise (SLR) and hip internal rotation, perceived exertion, VO2, max, HR, max, secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) and cortisol level in saliva. The findings demonstrated positive effect of acupuncture in all the variables assessed.Conclusion(s): This review provides strong indication that acupuncture can be practised in aerobic sports with initial positive indications. Further, high-quality research studies are required in order more reliable results to be collected. The evaluation of the effectiveness of acupuncture in other sports such as martial arts, or the comparison between biomedical and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCA), or with other evidence-based therapeutic interventions is also needed, combining larger sample sizes and a matched-control experimental design.Implications: The present systematic review provides initial evidence that acupuncture may contribute to improve physiological, neuromuscular and hormonal parameters in aerobic sports. Further, methodologically more solid research is required to support the suggestion for the use of acupuncture in usual clinical practice.Funding, acknowledgements: N/AKeywords: Acupuncture, Aerobic sports, Physiological/Neuromuscular/Hormonal parametersTopic: Health promotion & wellbeing/healthy ageing/physical activityDid this work require ethics approval?

Astragalus membranaceus (AM) has shown potential neuroprotective effects through multiple pharmacological mechanisms. Objective: This systematic review and network pharmacology study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of AM-based interventions in AD and to identify and validate key therapeutic targets through an integrated multi-level approach. Methods: A systematic search of seven databases was conducted from inception to September 2025. Three RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Network pharmacology identified 350 overlapping AM-AD targets; PPI network analysis with CytoHubba, CytoNCA, and MCODE converged on three core targets: ESR1, PIK3CA, and HSP90AA1. Molecular docking of 30 AM compounds identified astragaloside VII-HSP90AA1 as the top complex (binding energy: -8.9 kcal/mol), validated by 50 ns MD simulation (MM/PBSA ΔG: -63.13 ± 4.82 kcal/mol). In vitro validation used Aβ₁₋₄₂-treated SH-SY5Y cells with HSP90AA1 siRNA knockdown. Results: Meta-analysis showed that AM significantly reduced CDR-SB scores (MD = -0.66; 95% CI: -1.21 to -0.11; P = 0.02), indicating improvement in disease severity, though MMSE, memory, and SNSB-D changes were not significant. In vitro, astragaloside VII (10 ng/mL) restored cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential, suppressed TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, normalized Aβ42 levels and the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, reduced ROS accumulation, and activated Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant responses. It also reversed Aβ-induced PSD95 loss and Tau hyperphosphorylation via GSK-3β pathway modulation. Co-IP confirmed HSP90AA1 binding to both Tau and GSK-3β. HSP90AA1 knockdown significantly attenuated all astragaloside VII-mediated protective effects, which were partially rescued by the GSK-3β inhibitor LiCl. Conclusions: Astragaloside VII, a major active component of AM, exerts multi-target neuroprotective effects in an AD cellular model, with HSP90AA1 identified as a key mediator. These findings provide preliminary evidence for further investigation of AM and its active constituents in AD.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/6893h","authors":["xionghaibo"],"tags":["Pharmacology, Toxicology and Environmental Health","Medicine and Health Sciences","Life Sciences","Neuroscience and Neurobiology","Alzheimer's disease Astragalus membranaceus HSP90AA1 meta-analysis systematic review network pharmacology molecular docking molecular dynamics Astragaloside VII traditional Chinese medicine"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/6893h","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20307808","name":"Crosstalk Between Ferroptosis, Pyroptosis, and PANoptosis in Neurological Disorders: Molecular Mechanisms and Pharmacological Modulation by Natural Products","source":"datacite","abstract":"AbstractNeurological disorders—including cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and glioblastoma—share oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and programmed cell death as common pathogenic drivers.

They play essential regulatory roles in ovarian physiological processes, including follicular development, ovulation, luteal formation, and luteal regression. Increasing evidence suggests that macrophage polarization imbalance is closely associated with ovarian diseases such as PCOS,POI, and ovarian cancer. In PCOS, excessive M1 polarization contributes to chronic inflammation and ovulatory dysfunction. In POI, M1 macrophages accelerate ovarian aging, whereas M2 macrophages exhibit dual roles: on the one hand, they exert anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing effects that help preserve ovarian function; on the other hand, they may promote ovarian stromal fibrosis and thereby accelerate ovarian functional decline. In ovarian cancer, M2 polarization facilitates tumor progression, angiogenesis, and chemoresistance, while M1 macrophages exert anti-tumor effects. In addition, this review summarizes that multiple bioactive compounds and traditional Chinese medicine formulas can regulate macrophage polarization through key signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT, NF-κB, and STAT3, thereby improving the ovarian immune microenvironment, delaying ovarian aging, and inhibiting tumor progression. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of macrophage polarization in ovarian biology and disease, and to offer theoretical support for developing novel immunomodulatory strategies targeting the ovarian microenvironment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.13788","authors":["MeifangWu","Tang, Li","Chen, Yao","Tang, Pei","雷磊"],"tags":["Chinese medicine and pharmacy","Basic medical","macrophage polarization","Polycystic Ovary Syndrome","Premature Ovarian Insufficiency","Ovarian Cancer","Ovarian Function","Traditional Chinese Medicine"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.57760/sciencedb.j00217.13788","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.15124/crd42015015827","name":"Outcome measures for Traditional Chinese Medicine in treating stable angina pectoris: a systematic review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Systematic review protocol registration","url":"https://doi.org/10.15124/crd42015015827","authors":["Dooley, Gordon"],"tags":["Dataset","Angina Pectoris","Angina, Stable","Drugs, Chinese Herbal","Humans","Medicine, Chinese Traditional","Outcome Assessment (Health Care)"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015","doi":"10.15124/crd42015015827","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.15124/crd42015023296","name":"Is traditional Chinese herbal medicine effective for elderly isolated systolic hypertension?

CFS is a chronic, disabling condition characterized by persistent fatigue, reduced physical tolerance, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbance, and other systemic symptoms, yet there is still no universally accepted specific treatment. Against this background, acupuncture-related therapies have been increasingly used as non-pharmacological interventions, but their clinical value remains uncertain because published studies differ in design, intervention protocols, outcome measures, and methodological quality. This project therefore aims to systematically collect and synthesize randomized controlled trials comparing acupuncture-related therapies with control interventions such as conventional care, medication, lifestyle intervention, non-acupoint acupuncture, or herbal medicine alone. The primary purpose is to determine whether these therapies improve key fatigue-related outcomes, including overall fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, clinical response rate, and safety outcomes such as adverse events. By using standardized evidence-synthesis methods, including structured literature screening, risk-of-bias assessment, and quantitative meta-analysis, the project is expected to provide a clearer and more comprehensive evaluation of the current evidence base. The anticipated outcomes are twofold: first, to clarify the extent to which acupuncture-based therapies may offer symptom benefit for patients with CFS; and second, to identify important limitations in the existing literature, including heterogeneity, small sample sizes, inconsistent reporting, and insufficient follow-up. Ultimately, this work is intended to support evidence-based clinical decision-making and to guide the design of future high-quality trials in this field.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/kj67m","authors":["Xu, Lei"],"tags":["Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Medicine and Health Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/kj67m","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.28518425","name":"Ethnobotany, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of the genus Datura (Solanaceae)","source":"datacite","abstract":"Datura (Solanaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to treat arthralgia, asthma, cough, gastrointestinal cramps, neuropathic migraine, and injuries from falls.

While conventional pharmacological and surgical interventions are widely used, they are often associated with limited long-term efficacy, adverse effects, and high recurrence rates. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing techniques — including acupressure, auricular acupoint pressing, moxibustion, cupping, Chinese herbal fumigation, Tui Na massage, and meridian-based exercise therapies (e.g., Baduanjin, Tai Chi) — have been increasingly integrated into clinical pain management for LDH. However, the existing evidence remains fragmented, and no prior scoping review has systematically mapped both the mechanistic basis and the clinical application of these interventions. This scoping review aims to: (1) identify and catalog the range of TCM nursing techniques applied for pain relief in LDH; (2) map the proposed biological and neurophysiological mechanisms through which these techniques exert analgesic effects, including modulation of inflammatory cytokines, endogenous opioid release, improvement of local microcirculation, and regulation of the gate control pathway; (3) examine the clinical evidence regarding pain intensity reduction, functional improvement, and patient-reported outcomes; and (4) identify gaps in the current literature to inform future research directions. Following the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley as refined by Levac et al. and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, we will conduct a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed from inception to the present. Both English and Chinese language publications will be included. Eligible studies encompass randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, observational studies, case reports, and mechanistic investigations involving TCM nursing interventions for pain management in adult patients with LDH. Data extraction will cover intervention characteristics, theoretical frameworks, reported mechanisms, clinical outcomes, and methodological quality indicators. Findings from this review will provide a consolidated evidence map to guide clinicians, researchers, and policymakers in understanding how TCM nursing techniques may complement conventional LDH pain management, and will highlight priority areas for rigorous mechanistic and clinical studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/aqvz8","authors":[", Tingyang"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Nursing","FOS: Health sciences","Rehabilitation and Therapy"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/aqvz8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3886/icpsr29282.v8","name":"Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 2): Biomarker Project, 2004-2009","source":"datacite","abstract":"These data are being released in BETA version to facilitate early access to the study for research purposes.

With support from the National Institute on Aging, a longitudinal follow-up of the original MIDUS samples [core sample (N = 3,487), metropolitan over-samples (N = 757), twins (N = 957 pairs), and siblings (N = 950)] was conducted in 2004-2006. Guiding hypotheses, at the most general level, were that behavioral and psychosocial factors are consequential for health (physical and mental). A description of the study and findings from it are available on the MIDUS Web site. The Biomarker Project (Project 4) of MIDUS II contains data from 1,255 respondents. These respondents include two distinct subsamples, all of whom completed the Project 1 Survey: (1) longitudinal survey sample (n = 1,054) and (2) Milwaukee sample (n = 201). The Milwaukee group contained individuals who participated in the baseline MIDUS Milwaukee study, initiated in 2005. The purpose of the Biomarker Project (Project 4) was to add comprehensive biological assessments on a subsample of MIDUS respondents, thus facilitating analyses that integrate behavioral and psychosocial factors with biology. The broad aim is to identify biopsychosocial pathways that contribute to diverse health outcomes. A further theme is to investigate protective roles that behavioral and psychosocial factors have in delaying morbidity and mortality, or in fostering resilience and recovery from health challenges once they occur. The research was not disease-specific, given that psychosocial factors have relevance across multiple health endpoints. Biomarker data collection was carried out at three General Clinical Research Centers (at UCLA, University of Wisconsin, and Georgetown University). The biomarkers reflect functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the autonomic nervous system, the immune system, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, antioxidants, and metabolic processes. Our specimens (fasting blood draw, 12-hour urine, saliva) allow for assessment of multiple indicators within these major systems. The protocol also included assessments by clinicians or trained staff, including vital signs, morphology, functional capacities, bone densitometry, medication usage, and a physical exam. Project staff obtained indicators of heart-rate variability, beat to beat blood pressure, respiration, and salivary cortisol assessments during an experimental protocol that included both a cognitive and orthostatic challenge. Finally, to augment the self-reported data collected in Project 1, participants completed a medical history, self-administered questionnaire, and self-reported sleep assessments.

Conventional treatment approaches, including pharmacological agents and surgical procedures, provide symptomatic relief but are often associated with adverse effects, recurrence, and limited long-term efficacy. This has led to increasing interest in herbal and botanical therapies as safer and more holistic alternatives. The present review highlights the etiology, classification, risk factors, and pathophysiology of hemorrhoids, with particular emphasis on the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants used in traditional systems such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Unani medicine. Various medicinal plants including Terminalia chebula, Aloe vera, Curcuma longa, Eclipta prostrata, and Leucas aspera are discussed for their phytochemical constituents such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and polyphenols, which exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, venotonic, analgesic, and wound-healing activities.

However, this transformation faces critical challenges: semantic fragmentation across industrial links caused by the absence of data standards throughout the entire supply chain, and the inability of general-purpose governance tools to adapt to the strong domain-specific dependency characteristics inherent to TCM. To address these challenges, this thesis proposes and implements a high-granularity intelligent data classification and grading technical system tailored for the TCM industry, achieving deep integration and scenario-based deployment of classification and grading technology across the full TCM industrial chain. First, a three-level data classification and grading management system is constructed, covering the entire industrial chain from “planting—processing—research and development—distribution—application.” Based on data value density, sensitivity, and leakage risk levels, a differentiated control mechanism of “public—restricted—confidential” is established, providing an implementable governance baseline for the industry.Second, a hybrid architecture model integrating domain knowledge graphs and adaptive word segmentation is developed. By constructing a terminology database covering 150,000 geo-authentic medicinal materials and 4,618 natural medicines, the thesis overcomes the adaptation bottleneck of general-purpose segmentation tools in professional terminology boundary splitting.Finally, a closed-loop multimodal intelligent annotation model of “collection—cleaning—pre-annotation—manual review—fine-tuning—application” is designed. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is integrated to achieve zero-shot image segmentation. The Self-Instruct method is utilized to synthesize low-resource annotation data. Cross-modal knowledge communities are constructed through Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (Graph RAG) to support hybrid retrieval and intelligent question answering. In large-scale practice at Yunnan Baiyao Group, this system improved data annotation efficiency by 30 times, enhanced medicinal material quality inspection efficiency by 50%, and saved annual operating costs exceeding ten million yuan. The diagnosis, treatment, and marketing assistant based on Graph RAG has been promoted and applied in thousands of pharmacies. This thesis provides a systematic technical solution and engineering paradigm for the secure circulation and value transformation of data elements in the TCM industry.","url":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.dmh.01052","authors":["Mengting.Wu","Zhenghan.Xie","Xilong.Kang","Deli.Meng"],"tags":["Others","Traditional Chinese Medicine data","data classification and grading","multimodal data","knowledge graph"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.57760/sciencedb.dmh.01052","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/654bu","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnoses for Headaches: A Scoping Review","source":"datacite","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/654bu","authors":["Goldenberg, Joshua"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/654bu","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/tvn4j","name":"The Value of Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: In the era of value-based healthcare, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing faces challenges in demonstrating its multifaceted contributions. Traditional evaluation models often focus on narrow clinical indicators, failing to capture the economic efficiency and cultural humanistic value inherent in TCM nursing practices.

Currently, the most effective approach for sarcopenia involves a combination of physical activity and nutritional supplementation. However, older individuals may face challenges in engaging in physical activity due to inconvenience or limited access to consistent nutritional resources. Previous studies suggest that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can enhance muscle strength in sarcopenia patients; however, its effectiveness remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TCM in treating sarcopenia through a systematic review and meta-analysis and to identify key herbal medicines through pharmacological analysis. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive database search was conducted, yielding 11 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 781 participants. Studies were selected based on stringent criteria and assessed for methodological quality using the Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. A TCM network and data mining analysis to identify the core TCM from the enrolled trials and to investigate the potential pharmacological pathways through which they may exert their effects. Results: The analysis suggested that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi (BZYQ) decoction, may improve handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) index in patients with sarcopenia, with few reported adverse effects. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that key components, such as Astragalus membranaceus, may act through multiple signaling pathways.

Currently, the most effective approach for sarcopenia involves a combination of physical activity and nutritional supplementation. However, older individuals may face challenges in engaging in physical activity due to inconvenience or limited access to consistent nutritional resources. Previous studies suggest that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can enhance muscle strength in sarcopenia patients; however, its effectiveness remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TCM in treating sarcopenia through a systematic review and meta-analysis and to identify key herbal medicines through pharmacological analysis. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive database search was conducted, yielding 11 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 781 participants. Studies were selected based on stringent criteria and assessed for methodological quality using the Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. A TCM network and data mining analysis to identify the core TCM from the enrolled trials and to investigate the potential pharmacological pathways through which they may exert their effects. Results: The analysis suggested that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi (BZYQ) decoction, may improve handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) index in patients with sarcopenia, with few reported adverse effects. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that key components, such as Astragalus membranaceus, may act through multiple signaling pathways.

This thesis explores the intersection of TCM and fatigue using two rigorous methodologies: systematic reviews (SRs) and a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT). In order to inform the development of an RCT of acupuncture for infectious mononucleosis (mono), a common condition with no known cure, characterized by profound fatigue, we examined the literature on TCM treatment of mono as well as another fatigue condition, idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF). Additionally, we investigated the literature on the safety of pediatric acupuncture. SRs of TCM efficacy in mono and ICF determined that although clinical trials exist, methodological flaws compromised their validity. In particular, studies published as RCTs were found to lack proper randomization. Inclusion of these studies in the SRs would have been inappropriate and demonstrates the importance of verifying RCT methods. We also present the results of the first known SR of pediatric acupuncture safety. This review was comprehensive, including a large number of databases and publications in any language. Synthesis of the results from those studies that included a denominator produced mild adverse event estimates of 16.3/100 (95% CI 11.2–21.5) per patient, for RCTs, and 6.3/100 (95% CI 4.9–7.7) per patient, for cohort studies, with a combined estimate of 7.8/100 (95% CI 6.4–9.2) per patient. We developed and conducted an RCT of acupuncture for mono, although limitations to recruitment resulted in the enrolment of only three participants. The primary result of the small sample size was to restrict the determination of treatment effect, however, successful implementation of other elements is informative to further research in this area. In addition, we determined the local 5-year Monospot positive incidence rate to be 1.11/1000 (95% CI 0.95–3.2) for all ages and 5.46/1000 (95% CI 0.89–10.0) for the 15-25 year old group.

It has a profound influence on physical functioning, job performance, and general well-being. The rising incidence of LBP has prompted greater focus on safe, cost-effective, and non-pharmacological approaches as alternatives to conventional medical treatments. Dry cupping therapy, a traditional technique with origins in Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine, has recently gained recognition as an alternative and complementary approach for pain management. This narrative review aims to examine the efficacy of dry cupping therapy in the treatment of non-specific low back pain. A thorough electronic search was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, PEDro, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CINAHL to identify studies published between 2010 and 2021. Studies conducted on adults between 20 and 60 years of age undergoing dry cupping treatment. The reviewed studies consistently indicated that dry cupping therapy helps alleviate pain, improve lumbar flexibility, and promote a better quality of life. Furthermore, several studies have shown that dry cupping therapy provides comparable or greater benefits than drugs like diclofenac and acetaminophen, with a lower risk of adverse effects. These beneficial outcomes are thought to arise from increased circulation, relaxation of myofascial tissues, and activation of the body's innate pain control pathways. The review suggests that dry cupping is a reliable, effective, and economical therapy that can be integrated into physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices for treating chronic and non-specific low back pain.","url":"https://doi.org/10.82471/4fj97-a4r97","authors":["(PT), Dr. Rishu Kansal"],"tags":["Dry cupping","Low back pain","Pain management","Complementary therapy","Rehabilitation","Manual therapy."],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.82471/4fj97-a4r97","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.14822621","name":"A timely systematic review on pangolin research, commercialization, and popularization to identify knowledge gaps and produce conservation guidelines","source":"datacite","abstract":"(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Conservationists can benefit from encompassing research, social, and economic aspects of conservation issues to produce holistic conservation guidelines.

Beyond its emotional burden, PSD is independently associated with impaired functional recovery, accelerated cognitive decline, and a two- to three-fold increased risk of recurrent stroke and all-cause mortality. Despite the clinical significance of PSD, pharmacological treatment—predominantly SSRIs and SNRIs—carries substantial risks in older, multimorbid patients, including drug-drug interactions, haemorrhagic complications in anticoagulated patients, hyponatraemia, and increased falls risk.

This project presents a pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of NPIs for PSD. The NPIs examined span multiple modalities: neuromodulation techniques (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS] and transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS]); acupuncture and related techniques (electroacupuncture, body acupuncture, auricular acupuncture); structured psychological interventions (mindfulness-based stress reduction [MBSR], cognitive-behavioural therapy, horticultural therapy); Traditional Chinese Medicine exercise (Tai Chi, Qigong, Baduanjin); and Tuina massage. Prior meta-analyses in this area have been limited by narrow scope, reliance on unstandardised mean differences, failure to account for multi-arm trial designs, or pre-dating recently published high-quality RCTs. This study addresses these gaps by applying Hedges' g as the primary effect metric—enabling valid pooling across heterogeneous outcome instruments—and adhering to contemporary methodological standards including the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0 (RoB 2). A comprehensive search of six electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP) identified 25 eligible RCTs enrolling 2,289 participants across 28 independent comparisons (following Cochrane-recommended multi-arm correction). The primary outcome was depressive symptom severity assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17 or HAMD-24) or validated equivalent instruments at treatment completion. The primary meta-analytic finding demonstrated a large, statistically significant reduction in depressive symptom severity in NPI groups compared with controls (Hedges' g = −1.45, 95% CI: −1.89 to −1.02; p < 0.001), with substantial between-study heterogeneity (I² = 94.9%). Pre-specified subgroup analyses by intervention modality revealed significant effects for neuromodulation (k = 11; g = −1.35), acupuncture (k = 9; g = −1.87), and psychological interventions (k = 5; g = −1.32). Sensitivity analyses—including restriction to HAMD-17 studies, exclusion of an extreme statistical outlier (Yang T, 2022; g = −6.04), and leave-one-out analysis—consistently supported the robustness of the primary estimate. Publication bias assessment via Egger's regression test suggested small-study effects (p = 0.010); however, trim-and-fill analysis imputed zero missing studies, indicating that the observed funnel plot asymmetry likely reflects genuine between-study heterogeneity rather than selective non-publication. Risk of bias was rated as 'Some concerns' in 54% and 'High' in 46% of included studies; no study achieved an overall low-risk rating, primarily due to inherent difficulties in blinding behavioural interventions and subjective outcome assessment. These findings support the integration of structured NPIs—particularly rTMS, acupuncture, and psychological interventions—into multidisciplinary post-stroke rehabilitation programmes, especially for patients in whom pharmacotherapy is contraindicated or poorly tolerated.

AIS is the most common form of scoliosis in adolescents and can affect spinal alignment, physical function, appearance, and quality of life. Because conservative treatment is often the primary management option for patients with mild to moderate scoliosis or for those seeking to delay or avoid surgery, a wide range of interventions have been studied, including observation-based management, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, bracing, manual therapies, and TCM-related approaches. However, the overall scope, characteristics, and distribution of RCT evidence in this field remain unclear. The purpose of this review is to systematically identify, categorize, and describe RCTs evaluating conservative interventions for AIS within both Western medicine and TCM frameworks. The review will examine the types of interventions that have been tested, the characteristics of study populations, comparator conditions, treatment duration, outcome measures, and the main reported findings. It will also explore how conservative treatment strategies differ across medical systems, how outcomes are assessed across studies, and which areas have been more extensively or insufficiently studied. Rather than focusing only on determining intervention effectiveness, this scoping review is intended to provide a broad overview of the research landscape and the characteristics of the available trial evidence. The expected outcomes of this project are: (1) a structured mapping of RCTs on conservative treatment for AIS; (2) a summary of intervention categories in Western medicine and TCM, along with their study designs and reported outcomes; (3) identification of patterns, trends, and gaps in the current literature; and (4) evidence-based insights to support future research, clinical decision-making, and the development of more comprehensive conservative treatment strategies for AIS.

Its incidence and mortality both rank fifth among all malignancies, with approximately 968,000 new cases and 659,000 deaths globally. China accounts for 37.02% of new cases and 39.44% of deaths worldwide, indicating a particularly heavy disease burden. At present, surgery and chemotherapy remain the main treatment modalities .However, studies have shown that patients often experience multiple concurrent physical and psychological symptoms during the perioperative period and throughout chemotherapy. These symptoms frequently cluster together and interact with one another, thereby increasing the difficulty of delivering precise clinical nursing care. Traditional symptom management usually focuses on single symptoms and therefore cannot fully capture patients’ complex symptom experiences. In recent years, symptom network analysis has emerged as a novel research approach. By revealing the intrinsic relationships among symptoms, identifying core symptoms, and clarifying their dynamic patterns of change, this method offers a new theoretical tool for achieving precise and proactive nursing care. It can identify key nodes and potential “sentinel symptoms” within symptom clusters, and elucidate the interactions and temporal relationships among symptoms, thus providing a more targeted basis for clinical intervention. Nevertheless, research on symptom networks in gastric cancer remains at an exploratory stage. Existing studies differ substantially in the selection of treatment time points, symptom assessment instruments, network construction methods, and analytical strategies, resulting in inconsistent and poorly comparable findings, which in turn limits their application in clinical practice. In addition, current research has paid insufficient attention to the predictive relationships between symptom networks, traditional Chinese medicine constitution types, and quality of life, and there is also a lack of systematic explanation of the dynamic evolution of symptom networks over time. Accordingly, this study aims to systematically review the international and domestic literature on core symptoms and sentinel symptoms in patients with gastric cancer during the perioperative period and chemotherapy, to explore their associations with and predictive value for traditional Chinese medicine constitution types and quality of life, and to analyze the dynamic evolutionary characteristics of symptom networks. On this basis, the study will further identify current research gaps and methodological limitations, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for developing a scientific, standardized, and clinically applicable symptom management model, thereby promoting more precise and individualized symptom intervention for patients with gastric cancer.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/sv4rj","authors":["Qiu, Zhu"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Nursing","FOS: Health sciences","gastric cancer symptom network symptom network analysis symptom management nursing chemotherapy perioperative care quality of life scoping review"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/sv4rj","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/af5he","name":"Traditional chinese medicine for cancer pain: a scoping review protocol of systematic reviews and meta-analyses","source":"datacite","abstract":"Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms among cancer patients. In 2022, approximately 20 million new cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide[1]. The overall incidence of cancer-related pain averages 50.7%, rising to 66.4% in patients with advanced cancer, of whom one-third experience severe pain[2]. Pain significantly impairs patients' quality of life and imposes a considerable economic burden. Studies have shown that the total medical costs for patients with cancer pain are 50% to 75% higher than those without pain[3,4]. Cancer pain management is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a central component of oncology palliative care[5]. The WHO analgesic ladder, which emphasizes opioid medications, remains a cornerstone of treatment. However, pharmacological interventions are often associated with adverse effects such as constipation and nausea, along with risks of tolerance and addiction[6]. Long-term opioid use may also lead to serious complications, including cognitive impairment and immunosuppression[7]. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a holistic medical system, is widely used as a complementary therapy for cancer pain. TCM theory attributes cancer pain primarily to “qi stagnation and blood stasis” and “phlegm-dampness obstruction”. Treatment strategies focus on reinforcing healthy qi, eliminating pathogenic factors, and unblocking meridians to alleviate pain[8]. Various TCM modalities—including herbal decoctions, proprietary Chinese medicines, herbal injections, and topical applications—have demonstrated promising analgesic effects in clinical practice. For example, Cinobufacini preparations have shown overall response rates of 50.0% to 86.7% in moderate to severe cancer pain, particularly in cases related to gastrointestinal tumors, lung cancer, and bone metastases[9]. Similarly, Corydalis yanhusuo extract has achieved pain relief rates of 60.0% to 85.0% in cancer pain, while reducing opioid dosage and adverse reactions[10]. In recent years, a growing number of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) have evaluated the efficacy and safety of TCM for cancer pain. Nevertheless, current research on TCM for cancer pain remains fragmented. Existing SRs and MAs often focus on single herbs or specific cancer types, and their methodological quality has not been comprehensively assessed. Therefore, this scoping review aims to: (1) summarize current evidence on the efficacy and safety of TCM for cancer pain; (2) evaluate the methodological quality of included SRs and MAs, and (3) provide a foundation for future meta-analyses and identify directions for future research.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/af5he","authors":["Yunyun, Shuai","zhaoxia Li"],"tags":["Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Medicine and Health Sciences","TCM","Traditional Chinese Medicine","cancer pain","meta-analyse","systematic revie"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/af5he","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/r2x8d","name":"Application Progress of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping Therapy) in Female Reproductive Health Management: A Scope Review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Reproductive health refers to maintaining comprehensive health status in the reproductive system, reproductive function, and reproductive processes, including physiological health, mental health, and good social adaptability. Reproductive health spans the entire life cycle of women, from adolescence through pregnancy, childbirth, and perimenopause, involving critical stages such as menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, delivery, postpartum recovery, and menopause. During this period, women often face dual physiological and psychological challenges, including premenstrual syndrome, psychological distress related to infertility, gestational diabetes mellitus, childbirth phobia, postpartum depression, endometriosis-related pain, and perimenopausal syndrome. Studies indicate that the incidence of reproductive-related psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and childbirth phobia ranges from 6.77% to 80.75%, which not only severely impact women's quality of life but may also adversely affect pregnancy outcomes, fetal development, and maternal-infant relationships. Therefore, addressing the mental health of women in the reproductive field and seeking safe, effective, and easily implementable non-pharmacological interventions have become critical topics in nursing practice. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as emotional release technique, is an emerging integrative psychotherapy combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. By incorporating Western therapeutic elements such as acupoint tapping combined with exposure therapy and cognitive therapy, it effectively releases negative emotions and promotes individual physical and mental health. This therapy is characterized by its simplicity, low cost, non-invasiveness, and painlessness, allowing patients to practice independently after mastering the techniques. It has demonstrated significant efficacy in areas such as cancer treatment, chronic pain management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and stroke rehabilitation. In recent years, EFT has been increasingly applied in reproductive medicine, addressing multiple aspects including premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy anxiety, childbirth phobia, postpartum depression, psychological support for infertility, dysmenorrhea, endometriosis-related pain, and perimenopausal mood disorders. However, existing research exhibits considerable heterogeneity in intervention protocols (form, content, frequency, duration) and outcome metrics, with a lack of systematic synthesis of comprehensive study findings. A scoping review can be employed to comprehensively review the current research landscape in a specific field, clarifying research characteristics, intervention models, and evidence distribution patterns. It is particularly suitable for topics that are still in the developmental stage or involve diverse types of evidence. Based on this rationale, this study adopts a scoping review methodology to systematically examine the application of emotional release therapy in women's reproductive health management. The objective is to summarize the characteristics of its intervention protocols, optimal application timing, and efficacy indicators, analyze existing research limitations, and provide reference evidence for its standardized implementation in women's reproductive health care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/r2x8d","authors":["君锐 chen"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Maternal, Child Health and Neonatal Nursing","Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing","Nursing","FOS: Health sciences","Emotional Freedom Techniques; Reproductive Health; Women; Scoping Review; Nursing"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/r2x8d","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19508122","name":"HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA","source":"datacite","abstract":"Liver diseases remain a major global health concern and are often associated with excessive alcohol consumption, viral infections, drug toxicity, and metabolic disorders.

Type 2 diabetes requires continuous self-management, including medication adherence, dietary modification, physical activity, and engagement with healthcare services. However, these behaviours are influenced not only by clinical factors but also by cultural beliefs, health literacy, language barriers, and access to healthcare. These challenges are particularly important among immigrant populations, who often navigate between different cultural and healthcare systems. Chinese immigrants represent one of the largest Asian migrant groups in many Western countries and may experience specific cultural influences on diabetes management. These include the role of traditional Chinese medicine, culturally embedded dietary practices, and varying levels of acculturation, which may affect engagement with Western healthcare systems. Despite the growing Chinese population in Western countries, and particularly in France, there is currently limited synthesis of evidence on how these factors influence diabetes self-management. The purpose of this scoping review is to provide a comprehensive overview of: (1) the characteristics of diabetes self-management behaviours among first-generation Chinese immigrants; (2) the cultural, social, and healthcare-related factors that influence these behaviours; (3) changes in dietary and physical activity practices before and after migration; and (4) interventions developed to support diabetes self-management in this population.

Methods: This is a narrative review of relevant studies. Searches were conducted to identify documents published till April 22, 2020. Electronic databases, evidence-based collections, websites of relevant organizations, and trial registries were consulted. Results: A total of 25 guidelines on the treatment of patients with COVID-19 were identified. Four guidelines provided recommendations on the use of CHMs; these guidelines were developed in China and South Korea and were based on the consensus of experts exclusively. The remaining 21 guidelines provided no guidance on CHMs. No finished RCTs of CHMs for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 was found. According to the evidence evaluated in this review, a Cochrane review of CHMs for severe acute respiratory syndrome and five uncontrolled observational studies of the effects of CHMs in patients with COVID-19, the effects of CHMs for COVID-19 are unknown. A total of 52 ongoing clinical trials of CHM interventions for the treatment of COVID-19 were found. These trials will be carried out mostly in China (n = 51). Forty (77%) of the ongoing trials will be randomized, whereas 12 (23%) have an unclear sequence generation procedure. Forty-seven trials (90%) will have a sample size <400 participants. Conclusions: To the authors’ knowledge, only the Chinese and the South Korean guidelines recommend CHMs as a treatment option for patients with COVID-19. These guidelines base their recommendations on the consensus of experts. Clinical guidelines or health authorities from other countries do not provide advice on CHMs. Due to the absence of RCT, there is currently no reliable evidence on the effects of any specific CHM intervention for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. A high number of clinical trials of different herbal products are being currently conducted in China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-198914","authors":["López-Alcalde, Jesús","Yan, Yuqian","Witt, Claudia M","Barth, Jürgen"],"tags":["COVID-19","complementary","alternative and integrative medicine","Traditional Chinese Medicine","Chinese herbal medicine","narrative review","610 Medicine & health"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.5167/uzh-198914","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5167/uzh-254692","name":"Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Management of Orofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: a Narrative Review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Purpose of Review Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture (AT) are widely used for treating acute and chronic pain conditions, including pain related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). This review highlights the current knowledge about the use of AT and TCM in orofacial pain field, in particular for TMD-related pain management, exploring acupuncture potential benefits, its mechanisms of action on pain and the more suitable clinical application techniques and methods of point stimulation. Recent Findings The literature reviewed showed growing evidence supporting the use of AT and TCM-related techniques for the management of orofacial pain, especially associated with TMD. AT presents great potential for treating orofacial pain, especially for muscle pain and headache, and when applied on patients with systemic pain conditions. Different AT techniques and methods of point stimulation, including the traditional and the innovative ones, can be safely used as alternative or to support conventional treatments. Summary The use of AT for the management of pain in oro-craniofacial district may have great potential, especially for chronic condition and for pain of muscular origin. Despite the growing interest for TCM and AT as therapeutic tool in musculoskeletal pain conditions, in orofacial pain field the evidence is still few and fragmentary, and there are no specific protocols or clinical and therapeutic indications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-254692","authors":["Serritella, Emanuela","Colombo, Vera","Özcan, Mutlu","Galluccio, Gabriella","Di Paolo, Carlo"],"tags":["Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous)","Oral Surgery","Surgery","610 Medicine & health"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.5167/uzh-254692","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/xy7jn","name":"Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnoses for Headaches: A Scoping Review","source":"datacite","abstract":"To describe the Traditional Chinese Medicine differential diagnoses for headache.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/xy7jn","authors":["Goldenberg, Joshua"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences","Life Sciences","Neuroscience and Neurobiology"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/xy7jn","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5167/uzh-198747","name":"Education competencies for integrative oncology - Results of a systematic review and an international and interprofessional consensus procedure","source":"datacite","abstract":"Integrative oncology is a burgeoning field and typically provided by a multiprofessional team. To ensure cancer patients receive effective, appropriate, and safe care, health professionals providing integrative cancer care should have a certain set of competencies. The aim of this project was to define core competencies for different health professions involved in integrative oncology. The project consisted of two phases. A systematic literature review on published competencies was performed, and the results informed an international and interprofessional consensus procedure. The second phase consisted of three rounds of consensus procedure and included 28 experts representing 7 different professions (medical doctors, psychologists, nurses, naturopathic doctors, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, yoga practitioners, patient navigators) as well as patient advocates, public health experts, and members of the Society for Integrative Oncology. A total of 40 integrative medicine competencies were identified in the literature review. These were further complemented by 18 core oncology competencies. The final round of the consensus procedure yielded 37 core competencies in the following categories: knowledge (n = 11), skills (n = 17), and abilities (n = 9). There was an agreement that these competencies are relevant for all participating professions. The integrative oncology core competencies combine both fundamental oncology knowledge and integrative medicine competencies that are necessary to provide effective and safe integrative oncology care for cancer patients. They can be used as a starting point for developing profession-specific learning objectives and to establish integrative oncology education and training programs to meet the needs of cancer patients and health professionals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-198747","authors":["Witt, Claudia M","Balneaves, Lynda G","Carlson, Linda E","Cohen, Misha","Deng, Gary","Fouladbakhsh, Judith M","Kinney, Anita Y","Mehta, Ashwin","Mailman, Josh","Pole, Laura","Rogge, Alizé A","O’Toole, Carole","Zick, Suzanna M","Helmer, Stefanie M"],"tags":["Public Health","Environmental and Occupational Health","Oncology","610 Medicine & health"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020","doi":"10.5167/uzh-198747","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5167/uzh-202184","name":"Eye acupuncture for pain conditions: a scoping review of clinical studies","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background Chinese eye acupuncture, focuses on treating different diseases by applying needle stimulation around the orbit of the eye. Since 1970, it has been used in China for the management of pain-related disorders. This scoping review systematically collected clinical studies on the use of eye acupuncture to treat pain conditions and identify any adverse events. Methods Six databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, Wan Fang Data and SinoMed were searched from 1970 to March 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical controlled trials (CCTs) and case series on eye-acupuncture for pain conditions meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. Data were extracted on patients, interventions, details of eye acupuncture, control treatments and outcomes. Results Searches identified 81 clinical studies and a trend demonstrating an increasing number of published studies. All studies were conducted in China and published in Chinese. These included, 45 (55.6%) RCTs, 5 (6.2%) CCTs, and 31 (38.3%) case series, treating 7113 patients with 44 different pain-related diseases or symptoms. The most frequently reported conditions were headache (18, 16.2%), acute lumbar pain (7, 6.3%) and lumbar disc herniation (7, 6.3%). Treatment using small needles (φ0.25 × 13 mm), retained ≤30 min, needling the horizontal outer orbital edge and the avoidance of manipulation during treatment were the most frequent descriptions of the interventions used. Eye acupuncture was used alone in about half of the studies and of the remaining studies it was combined with other treatment. All studies suggested some beneficial effects including: pain relief, improved quality of life and mental health, and 18 (22.2%) adverse events. Conclusion Eye acupuncture, predominantly studied in China, may be a promising intervention for managing diverse pain conditions. However, given the variety of study designs and reported treatment outcomes, conclusions about the evidence for eye acupuncture for specific conditions are not possible at this stage.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-202184","authors":["Chi, Yuan","Barth, Jürgen","Wang, Mei","Robinson, Nicola","Li, Zan-Hua","Liu, Jian-Ping"],"tags":["Pain relief","Traditional Chinese medicine","Eye acupuncture","Clinical studies","Scoping review","610 Medicine & health"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021","doi":"10.5167/uzh-202184","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:10.457Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420006452-8","name":"Introduction","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420006452-8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-04-10T17:12:27Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420006452-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100991","name":"The use of herbal medicine for cancer therapy in Indonesia: a prospective cohort study","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100991","authors":["Zulvikar Syambani Ulhaq","Delima","Lucie Widowati","Pramita Andarwati","Elga Renjana","Elok Firdiana","Lola Ayu Istifiani","Syafrizal Aji Pamungkas"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-04T11:36:13Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100991","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2020.100382","name":"Potential benefits of combination of Nigella sativa and Zn supplements to treat COVID-19","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2020.100382","authors":["Mohammad Tariqur Rahman"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-06-24T11:48:37Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2020.100382","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781420041781.ch8","name":"Herbal Products for the Chemotherapy of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781420041781.ch8","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2010-02-23T23:55:29Z","doi":"10.1201/9781420041781.ch8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2018.10.002","name":"Phytochemical characteristics and potential therapeutic properties of blue honeysuckle Lonicera caerulea L.

Diagnosis centers on identifying this gluten-sensitive enteropathy, which can be ameliorated through the implementation of a gluten-free diet (GFD), correlating with mucosal healing and symptom alleviation. The human microbiota, a vast symbiotic community within the gastrointestinal tract, profoundly impacts human health. Advances in genome sequencing have elucidated the intricate relationship between gut microbiota and autoimmune diseases, including CD, emphasizing the significant role of dietary patterns in shaping the gut microbiota. The influence of GFD on microbiota composition, the only clinically validated treatment for CD, leads to a nutritional shift and potential macronutrient imbalance. Emerging research also highlights the therapeutic potential of various herbs with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, gastroprotective, and immunomodulatory properties as complementary approaches to manage CD. This chapter synthesizes the complex interactions between genetics, diet, gut microbiota, and potential herbal interventions in CD, paving the way for more comprehensive understanding and management strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010011","authors":["Ünkan Urganci"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.431Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2016.06.001","name":"Anti-hypertensive medicinal plants and their mode of action","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2016.06.001","authors":["Pooja Rawat","Pawan Kumar Singh","Vipin Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-06-11T08:00:39Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2016.06.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2011.08.003","name":"Do modern-day medical herbalists have anything to learn from Anglo-Saxon medical writings?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2011.08.003","authors":["Valerie Thomas"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-10-17T18:27:57Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2011.08.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.31142/ijahm","name":"International journal of Ayurvedic and herbal medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.31142/ijahm","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-08-05T13:00:58Z","doi":"10.31142/ijahm","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/b978-0-323-02998-8.50028-7","name":"Materia Medica","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-02998-8.50028-7","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-05-15T15:30:11Z","doi":"10.1016/b978-0-323-02998-8.50028-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.cam/2024.464","name":"Herbal Harmony","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.cam/2024.464","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-25T11:02:23Z","doi":"10.47278/book.cam/2024.464","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.007Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-319-14021-6_11","name":"Novel Drug Delivery Systems for Herbal Antidepressants","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-14021-6_11","authors":["Vandita Kakkar","Nancy Modgill","Manoj Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-05-30T13:55:02Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-14021-6_11","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5040/9781474210577-ch-004","name":"Early-modern Midwifery Manuals and Herbal Practice","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5040/9781474210577-ch-004","authors":["Elaine Hobby"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-12-02T10:28:57Z","doi":"10.5040/9781474210577-ch-004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2021.100515","name":"Rationalistic approach in COVID-19 prevention through intervention of Unani medicine prevalent in epidemic – A review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2021.100515","authors":["Fatima Khan","Abdul Nasir Ansari","Mohd Nayab"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-10-26T19:36:32Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2021.100515","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/s0965-2299(00)91145-2","name":"Herbal medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0965-2299(00)91145-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2005-02-10T03:45:30Z","doi":"10.1016/s0965-2299(00)91145-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.tl/2026.167","name":"From Root to Remedy: Exploring Herbal Combinations for Hormonal Wellness","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.tl/2026.167","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T12:25:55Z","doi":"10.47278/book.tl/2026.167","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.343Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-540-79116-4_19","name":"Herbal Drugs of Abuse","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-79116-4_19","authors":["Jochen Beyer","Olaf H.

The spectrum of the diseases varied from asymptomatic to severe, even resulting in mortality. Gender and pre-existing co-morbidities were identifiable risk factors. Diabetes, hypertension, and chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases pose a risk of severe infections and manifestations. The vulnerability was due to ACE 2 receptors, thereby enhancing the entry and subsequent multiplication of the virus. Immune responses acted as the two-way sword, with cytokine storms posing a risk of severe complications. COVID-19 is also associated with long-term effects varying from neuropsychiatric to other complications. Mutations are expected to pose a challenge in the future. The second wave was also related to fungal infections due to varied causes like side effects of treatment and opportunistic infection due to immune suppression from using steroids. Naturopathy is also expected to work wonders. However, scientific and evidence-based results are required. COVID combat requires a multi-level approach. Nutrition and strict adherence to health and hygiene are essential preventive strategies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4081/idhm.2023.313","authors":["Shah Mohammad Abbas Waseem","Syed Haider Husaini Mehdi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-09-04T09:20:40Z","doi":"10.4081/idhm.2023.313","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2019.01.001","name":"After a decade of persistent endeavor, Chinese Herbal Medicine is on the rise","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2019.01.001","authors":["De-An Guo","Chang-xiao Liu"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-01-30T22:20:03Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2019.01.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/9789815305005124010009","name":"The Effects of Herbal Medicines on the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease","source":"crossref","abstract":"Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects a large population worldwide, is a gastrointestinal disorder that includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The genetic factors, immunological, and microbial factors play critical roles in the pathogenesis of IBD. However, there is still no pharmacological therapy providing the definitive treatment of the disease. Gastrointestinal symptoms of IBD significantly reduce the patient's quality of life and IBD patients often tend to use herbal medicines as an alternative and complementary therapy for improving the symptoms. Among herbal medicines used for IBS, Andrographis paniculata, Boswellia serrata, and Aloe vera are prominent plant species, and catechins and curcumin are the commonly investigated phytochemicals. Here, we summarized the main factors in the pathogenesis of IBD, the current treatment strategies, and commonly used natural compounds and herbs with evidence-based data. The findings pointed out that further clinical trials having a higher sample size are required prior to the recommended use of these herbal medicines in therapy.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010009","authors":["Aybala Temel"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010009","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100694","name":"Green tea: Current trends and prospects in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical aspects","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100694","authors":["Anupam Sarma","Ratnali Bania","Malay K.

It synthesizes evidence on the antimicrobial, antivirulence, and immunomodulatory properties of plant-derived compounds and evaluates their application across human healthcare, veterinary medicine, aquaculture, and environmental management. The chapter highlights mechanistic pathways through which phytochemicals reduce resistance pressure, including biofilm inhibition, quorum sensing disruption, and synergistic enhancement of conventional antibiotics. Real-world case studies demonstrate reductions in antibiotic use without compromising health outcomes. Structural, regulatory, and scientific barriers to adoption are critically assessed, alongside emerging research priorities and policy needs. Overall, the chapter underscores the role of validated, standardized herbal interventions in supporting antimicrobial stewardship and advancing sustainable One Health solutions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4018/979-8-3373-7810-7.ch012","authors":["Parthiban Pandian","Sivaranjani Varadharajan","Gomathi Rengaraj","E.

These conditions are currently inadequately treated in a chronic disease model which aims to reduce symptoms but does not heal underlying issues. This review presents a comprehensive guide to nutraceutical, herbal and lifestyle interventions which are capable at addressing respiratory diseases with minimal associated costs. Decreasing reliance on the official medical system can reduce costs and improve access for many people. This review establishes non-pharmaceutical interventions for COPD and asthma and estimates putative cost savings from following a more integrative

The extracts, developed in 1966, were a strategy adopted by Korean medicine community to make HM intake more convenient as well as to eradicate the stigma attached to Korean medicine as “unscientific” and “pre-modern.” 2. The home appliance industry established a sales strategy for home automatic HM decoction machine (hereinafter HAHMDM) targeting office workers who want to take HM but find it inconvenient and difficult to decoct HM because of long working hours. 3. The final solution to solve the administration of the HM was the herbal decoction room in Korean medicine clinic (hereinafter HDEIKMC) equipped with the Medicinal Herb Extractor (hereinafter MHE) that decocts 10-day doses at a time and an Automatic Packaging Machine (hereinafter APM) that packages each single dose of decoction to prevent spoilage.Conclusions: The history of technological changes related to the administration of Korean HM from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s started with extract, passed through a HAHMDM and ended in HDEIKMC equipped with MHE and APM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13048/jkm.25039","authors":["Sung-Woon Choi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-02T00:50:36Z","doi":"10.13048/jkm.25039","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.008Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.609Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100750","name":"Natural antioxidants as inhibitors of pyruvate kinase M2 in Warburg phenotypes","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100750","authors":["Flama Monteiro","Shilpa S.

However, this type of vaccine may cause several neurological adverse events such as headache, pain, vertigo, dizziness, and non-serious limb paresthesia. Up to the present, there are no available treatments, Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) may be a good choice for specifically targeting the MPXV because it is a non-invasive approach without side effects.

Measures against disease outbreaks are available, such as chemoprophylaxis with vaccines, chemical therapeutics, and antibiotics. All of which, alongside their benefits, pose certain risks to the fish’s habitat and itself.

highlighting phytochemicals and biogenic nanoparticles from plants that synergize with antibiotics, inhibiting efflux pumps, disrupting biofilms, blocking enzymatic degradation, and restoring susceptibility. Preclinical models demonstrate 70-86% growth inhibition in MDR strains, biofilm dispersal up to 75%, and resistance gene suppression, with silver nanoparticle-phytochemical hybrids enhancing delivery via reactive oxygen species generation and membrane permeabilization. Clinical benefits include reduced hospital costs, 2-4fold mortality drops in MRSA and pneumonia cases, and eco-friendly wastewater interventions curbing environmental transmission.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4018/979-8-3373-7810-7.ch008","authors":["Abdullahi Bukar","Arpita Roy","Kumarappan Chidambaram","Harish C.

The development of a rapid method to determine the endpoints of adsorption processes in a large-scale manufacturing is of substantial importance for herbal medicine (HM) manufacturers. Methods: In this study, the adsorption of saponins on a macroporous resin column chromatograph, a critical unit operation in Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F.H.Chen injection manufacturing, was considered as an example. The evaluation results of in-line ultraviolet and visible spectra combined with various multivariate analysis methods, including the moving block standard deviation (MBSD), difference between the moving block average and the target spectrum (DMBA-TS), soft-independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), and partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), were compared. Results: MBSD was unsuitable for adsorption processes. The relative standard errors of prediction between the predicted and experimental endpoints were 13.2%, 4.67%, and 5.71% using DMBA-TS, SIMCA, and PLS-DA, respectively. Conclusions: Among the considered analysis methods, SIMCA and PLS-DA were more effective for endpoint determination. The results of this study provide a more comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of various multivariate analysis methods to facilitate the selection of the most suitable method. This study was also conducive to address the issues of the in-line detection of adsorption endpoints to guide practical HM manufacturing.

Gastrodia elata (Tianma) is a traditional medicinal herb with known antioxidant and neuroprotective properties that has not yet been examined under microgravity-analog conditions. The main aim of this study was to evaluate whether Tianma mitigates oxidative, mitochondrial, and neurobehavioral deficits induced by simulated microgravity (SM) in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). N2, TJ356 (DAF-16::GFP), and BZ555 (dat-1p::GFP) worms were treated with Tianma extract or vehicle for 72 h and exposed to simulated microgravity for 24 h thereafter. We quantified multiple functional and molecular endpoints related to organismal health, redox balance, mitochondrial function, dopaminergic neuron integrity, and stress resistance to determine the mitigative effect of Tianma on SM. SM significantly disrupts organismal and cellular homeostasis, as evidenced by reduced locomotion, pharyngeal pumping, associative learning and memory with butanone, dopamine-dependent basal slowing, and reduced lifespan. These functional deficits were accompanied by elevated oxidative damage, diminished antioxidant enzyme activities, mitochondrial depolarization and ATP depletion, enhanced DAF-16 nuclear translocation, upregulation of antioxidant, heat-shock, and mitochondrial stress-response genes, and progressive dopaminergic neuron loss. Tianma treatment restored behavioral performance, extended lifespan, normalized oxidative markers and enzyme activities, preserved mitochondrial function, limited DAF-16 nuclear accumulation, attenuated stress-gene induction, protected dopaminergic neurons, and enhanced stress resistance. These findings indicate that Tianma provides integrated antioxidant, mitochondrial, and neuroprotective effects under simulated microgravity and merit further evaluation as a potential countermeasure against spaceflight-associated oxidative and neurodegenerative stress.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42601147/","authors":["Shakir MZ","Ullah I","Usmani MW","Ning J","Liu J","Zhou X","Zhao Y","Lu G","Du Q","Chen H","Imran M","Ashraf M","Wang N","Liu X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Sep","doi":"10.1016/j.lssr.2026.02.007","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42600852","name":"Can microbial biomass deliver the techno-functional properties required for more sustainable, animal-free foods?

To circumvent the inefficiency of traditional agricultural practices, natural microbial biomass (MB) of fungi, bacteria, yeasts and microalgae, emerges as an alternative source of nutritional protein that can be converted to microbial foods, as it relies on closed-system, climate-independent and efficient production. Although the environmental and nutritional benefits are widely studied, the techno-functional properties (foaming, emulsifying, gelling, oil and water retention properties) of MB and associated ingredients (whole-cell ingredients, cell-disrupted ingredients and protein-enriched extracts) are underexplored. This review compiled the current body of knowledge on MB production processes, including bioproduction, nucleic acid reduction treatments, downstream processing (DSP) to an appealing product, and their described impact on techno-functionality, as well as compared all reported techno-functional properties of MB-based ingredients and food products. MB-based ingredients show promising techno-functional potential, especially in water and oil retention properties, and versatility compared to their plant counterparts. We identified key issues hindering MB commercialization, including the lack of standardized terminology and methodology, limited synergies between upstream and DSP, insufficient diversity in selected microbial strains, ingredient types and final applications, and lack of interdisciplinary research. Strategies to address these challenges include focusing on properties beyond macromolecular composition, using computational approaches for faster screening, and critically evaluating DSP steps. These strategies ensure that the required techno-functional and sensory properties can be achieved without compromising the potential of MB for environmental sustainability and consumer acceptance.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42600852/","authors":["Pereira A","Royen GV","Ganigué R","Sakarika M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 14","doi":"10.1016/j.biortech.2026.135609","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42600822","name":"Phytochemical investigation of Erythropalum scandens Blume stems: Discovery of erythropalumins A-J and mechanistic insights into the traditional 'clear-heat' effects.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Forty-one constituents, including ten previously undescribed erythropalumins A-J (1, 3-11) were obtained from Erythropalum scandens stems.

This systematic review synthesizes current preclinical and emerging clinical evidence on the neuroprotective mechanisms of Astragalus species in AD. Literature was systematically analyzed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The findings indicate that Astragalus -derived compounds exert multi-target effects through modulation of key signaling pathways, including PI3K/Akt, Nrf2/ARE, MAPK, and NF-κB. These interactions collectively reduce oxidative stress, attenuate neuroinflammation, inhibit neuronal apoptosis, and improve synaptic function. Several studies further suggest roles in mitigating amyloid-β toxicity and tau hyperphosphorylation. Collectively, the evidence supports a systems-level pharmacological model in which Astragalus species mediate convergent neuroprotective effects across interconnected molecular pathways. However, translation to clinical application remains limited by insufficient human studies, variability in species-specific phytochemical profiles, and lack of standardized formulations.

This study aims to elucidate the chemical structures of APs, among which one was further evaluated for its effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC, and the underlying mechanism was explored with a focus on gut microbiota (GM). Four distinct APs were isolated, among which aconite polysaccharide A-1 (APA-1) was the predominant one. APA-1 is characterized as a glucan composed of →4)-α-glucose (Glc)-(1→, with residues such as →3, 4)-α-Glc-(1→, →2, 4)-α-Glc-(1→ and →4, 6)-α-Glc-(1→ functioning as branching points. APA-1 significantly ameliorated disease symptoms and colonic pathological alterations in UC mice. Furthermore, APA-1 restored GM diversity and richness, counteracting dysbiosis marked by a decrease in beneficial microorganisms such as Dubosiella and Lactobacillus , and an increase in potentially pathogenic ones including Proteobacteria and Escherichia-Shigella . Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) recapitulated the effects of APA-1 on UC mice, thereby confirming the role of APA-1-regulated GM in UC. Metabolomic analysis revealed that APA-1 may exert its effects by enhancing microbial metabolite taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDCA). Oral administration of THDCA, in conjunction with transcriptomic and Western blotting (WB) analyses, demonstrated that both APA-1 and THDCA ameliorate UC by inhibiting the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome through the Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5/cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (TGR5/cAMP/PKA) signaling pathway.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modalities are used in some clinical settings as adjunctive strategies, but their evidence base is heterogeneous and should not be interpreted as a substitute for established ophthalmic therapy. This structured narrative review synthesizes ocular clinical evidence, indirect mechanistic evidence and ocular surface safety considerations for TCM modalities in AC and VKC. Five bibliographic databases-PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP Database-were searched for literature published from 1 January 2010 to 31 May 2026. The database searches were supplemented by targeted Google Scholar searches, reference-list screening and citation tracking, while earlier landmark sources were retained when clinically or mechanistically relevant. The retrieved clinical evidence was concentrated in AC/SAC/PAC and VKC. No eligible AKC- or GPC-specific TCM clinical studies were identified within the search scope; these conditions are therefore discussed only for contextual and safety relevance. Oral herbal formulas and integrated TCM-standard therapy accounted for most of the clinical evidence, whereas herbal ophthalmic preparations, particularly Houttuynia eye drops, provided a smaller but more ocular-specific signal. Mechanistic claims involving IgE-mast-cell responses, Th2/eosinophilic inflammation, epithelial alarmins, NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling, oxidative stress and barrier dysfunction should be regarded as hypotheses requiring ocular-specific validation. For local herbal ophthalmic preparations, the safety threshold is high and includes sterility, endotoxin control, pH, osmolality, particulate matter, preservatives, botanical authentication, formulation stability and corneal epithelial safety.

Although previous studies have suggested that F. hispida possesses cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities, the in vivo antitumor efficacy and underlying mechanisms of its fruit-derived dichloromethane extract remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the anti-lung cancer activity of the dichloromethane extract of F. hispida fruits (FHF-DE) using integrated phytochemical, cellular, transcriptomic and in vivo approaches. FHF-DE inhibited the proliferation of multiple human lung cancer cell lines (including H1299, A549, H1975, H460, and PC9 cells) as well as murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) line. Flow cytometry indicated G0/G1 arrest in LLC cells and S-phase arrest in H1975 cells. FHF-DE also promoted apoptotic cell death, as indicated by increased Bax expression, decreased Bcl-2 expression, and caspase-3 activation. Transcriptome sequencing and reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q) PCR analyses indicated enrichment of the TNF signaling pathway, with increased TNF- α and related gene expression (e.g., IRF1, BIRC3). In an LLC allograft mouse model, daily oral administration of FHF-DE (200-400 mg/kg) significantly suppressed tumor growth, without evident hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity in H&E staining. This in vivo finding demonstrates the antitumor efficacy of FHF-DE, although, molecular validation of the proposed mechanism in tumor tissues was not performed. Collectively, our in vitro data demonstrate that FHF-DE induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in lung cancer cells, with transcriptomic and pharmacological data suggesting a functional association with TNF-related signaling pathways. However, definitive mechanistic proof of direct TNFR1 engagement or extrinsic apoptotic pathway activation, particularly in vivo, requires further investigation. The present study provides preclinical evidence supporting further pharmacological and toxicological evaluation of F. hispida fruit-derived extracts as natural-product-based candidates for lung cancer intervention.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42597284/","authors":["Yang J","Wu W","Peng J","Liu X","Ying D","Zhou X","Wang J","Duan Y","Xiong W","Jin A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.62347/EKIX8621","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42596085","name":"Chuanxiong Extract-Decorated Mitochondria-Targeted Nanocarriers Attenuate Infarct Injury by Restoring Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Blocking Oxidative Cascade.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The complex phytochemical composition of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) like Ligusticum chuanxiong offers multi-target therapeutic potential, yet their intracellular mechanisms remain largely undefined due to a lack of suitable investigative tools.

Pepper is the most widely cultivated vegetable crop in China, and full mechanization of its production is crucial for enhancing quality and productivity. In the preliminary stage of this study, transcriptomic analysis was performed on pepper accessions exhibiting substantial differences in stem strength at various developmental stages. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis focused on genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis and transport, a candidate gene potentially regulating stem strength, designated CaDUF642.01, was identified. The CaDUF642.01 protein contains two DUF642 domains and localizes to the cell wall, plasma membrane, and nucleus. Silencing CaDUF642.01 led to a 42.17% decrease in soluble pectin content, a 1.63% reduction in water content, a 43.18% shortening of internode length, and more compact cell arrangement. Furthermore, CaDUF642.01 was shown to directly interact with pectin methylesterase 2 (CaPME2), forming a protein complex that modulates pectin methylation levels via regulation of random PME demethylesterification, thereby influencing stem strength. Our results demonstrate that the CaDUF642.01-CaPME2 complex attenuates stem strength by altering pectin composition through PME activity, which also increases stem water content and promotes looser parenchyma cell packing.

Animal-derived secretions from Rhinella species induce potent cardiac and synaptic toxicity due to bufadienolides. Similarly, synthetic insecticides like fipronil and chlorpyrifos induce acetylcholinesterase inhibition, neuromuscular dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the N. cinerea model. Overall, this review highlights the value of N. cinerea as a toxicological model for evaluating lethality, ecological safety, and the mechanisms of action of different insecticidal compounds.

Green synthesis has therefore gained increasing attention as a sustainable alternative, employing biological resources such as plant extracts, microorganisms, enzymes, and biopolymers to produce functional nanomaterials under environmentally benign conditions. These biologically derived nanoparticles exhibit enhanced surface functionality and have demonstrated applications in drug delivery, antimicrobial therapy, cancer treatment, bioimaging, biosensing, tissue engineering, and advanced biofabrication, including nano-enabled hydrogels and bioinks for 3D/4D bioprinting. Nevertheless, green synthesis should not be regarded as inherently non-toxic, as nanoparticle safety remains dependent on physicochemical characteristics, dosage, biodistribution, and biological interactions. Furthermore, challenges including batch-to-batch variability, mechanistic uncertainty, limited process standardization, long-term toxicity, and regulatory barriers continue to hinder clinical translation. This review critically examines recent advances in green synthesis, compares conventional and biological nanoparticle fabrication strategies, discusses functionalization approaches that improve therapeutic performance, and highlights current biomedical applications together with the key challenges and future perspectives for developing sustainable and clinically translatable nanomedicine.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42592093/","authors":["Halder B","Satpathy A","Kumari K","Nigam VK"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fchem.2026.1890004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42592052","name":"Evaluating the antifungal efficacy and bioactive metabolites of a traditional polyherbal aqueous formulation BioCC+ against Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Fungal contamination of cereal crops threatens global food security by compromising grain quality and introducing harmful mycotoxins that endanger human and animal health.

Based on the observed growth inhibition, DCMe was selected for fractionation using silica gel column chromatography with the following mixtures of hexane:ethyl acetate as the mobile phase: 100 : 0 for F1, 75 : 25 for F2, 50 : 50 for F3, 25 : 75 for F4 and 0 : 100 for F5, as well as 100% methanol for F6.

The comprehensive volatile terpene profiling across 28 spatiotemporal samples spanning weekly developmental intervals and distinct maturity stages from six cultivars identified 227 cannabis volatile terpenes, including 88 monoterpenes and 139 sesquiterpenes, exhibiting distinct tissue, developmental stage, and cultivar-specific patterns.

Genome annotation identified 41 full-length CsTPSDK genes, exhibiting extensive expansion and subfamily-specific clusters with structural divergence between haplotypes. Transcript profiling across developmental stages and cultivars distinguished a core set of highly expressed inflorescence-associated CsTPSs from genes exhibiting cultivar-specific regulation. Functional characterization of six previously unreported CsTPSDKs uncovered diverse mono- and sesquiterpene synthase activities, including unexpected substrate promiscuity across subfamilies.

We hypothesized about its key role in regulating the enzyme activities involved in the 1C metabolic pathway. Molecular dynamic simulations, demonstrated that the A 55 V mutation induces structural alterations and instability at the enzyme active site, affecting its function. Ramachandran plot analysis revealed that the mutant had a slight reduction in favored conformations (94.097% vs. 94.662%). The root mean square deviation analysis exhibited 48.7% and 183% increase in structural deviation and conformational variability, respectively, in the mutant suggesting lower stability.

The crude extract was initially evaluated against MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines using wound healing assays. Bioassay-guided isolation and screening were deployed to isolate individual components, and the most potent lead compound was structurally characterized using preparative HPLC and FTIR. To analyze its interaction with PIP4K2A, in silico molecular docking, MM/GBSA calculations, and 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations were conducted. In vitro validation was subsequently performed via dose-dependent cytotoxicity assays, scratch assays, single-cell tracking, and RT-qPCR expression analysis.

Two classic AD models induced by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) and carvacrol were established to evaluate the therapeutic performance of FOE and its bioactive components. Hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue staining were applied to characterize lesional histopathological alterations, immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression profiles of TRPV3, β-catenin, and COX-2 in skin lesions, and calcium fluorescence imaging was applied to monitor TRPV3-mediated intracellular calcium dynamics. The results showed that FOE markedly alleviated typical AD-like manifestations, reducing inflammatory injury, ear edema and splenomegaly in DNCB- and carvacrol-challenged mice. Histological evaluation confirmed that FOE improved pathological lesions, mitigated epidermal hyperplasia, and reduced mast cell infiltration. Meanwhile, FOE remodeled the abnormal expression patterns of TRPV3, β-catenin, and COX-2 triggered by AD stimulation. Additionally, FOE effectively regulated carvacrol-evoked calcium influx mediated by TRPV3 activation.

Subsequently, gastric pH, stomach coefficient, oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators, and PI3K, AKT, and mTOR gene expression were assessed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses of mucosal architecture and the expression of TNF-α, caspase-3, and PCNA were performed. Coadministration of OMP and LIQ demonstrated the greatest gastroprotective activity, marked by a significant increase in gastric pH, restoration of antioxidant status, and substantial reduction in ROS, TLR4, NF-κB, and NLRP3 levels. The combined therapy significantly upregulated the expression of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR genes in comparison to ULC. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings further demonstrated preservation of gastric mucosal integrity, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, and decreased TNF-α, caspase-3, and PCNA immunoreactivity, indicating attenuation of mucosal injury.

KEGG enrichment highlighted starch and sucrose metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction as key pathways. Notably, the GA biosynthesis gene GA3ox was markedly upregulated, while the DELLA repressor (Isoform0012761) showed sustained downregulation, suggesting relieved GA signaling. In the ABA pathway, CYP707A catabolic genes exhibited biphasic expression, and ABA signaling components ( PYL , PP2C , SnRK2 ) showed stage-specific remodeling. A total of 316, 412, and 479 differentially expressed transcription factors were identified across stages, with the GRAS family being the largest. Co-expression network analysis revealed 19 transcription factors integrating starch/sucrose metabolism with ABA and GA signaling, most of which were downregulated, except one C2H2 member showing sustained upregulation. These findings demonstrate that dormancy release in P. sibiricum is governed by coordinated hormonal reprogramming, metabolic mobilization, and transcription factor-mediated regulation, providing a theoretical foundation for improving seed germination in this medicinal plant.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589684/","authors":["Su X","Li C","Li L","Yang Y","Wang L","Cao Y","Lu D","Sun Y","Su M","Yu Y","Tan Z","Liang H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 5","doi":"10.3390/ijms27157032","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589682","name":"Acute and Chronic Toxicity Tests and Assessment of In Vitro and In Vivo Anti-Allergic Effects of Prabchompoothaweep Remedy.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Prabchompoothaweep (PCT) is an anti-allergic remedy on the Thailand National List of Essential Medicines, traditionally used to relieve common colds and allergic reactions in Thai traditional medicine (TTM).

This animal model study therefore was purposely designed to evaluate metabolic outcomes of carbohydrate-fat permutations in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and Zucker lean (Z lean ) rats by using 1 H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics. Twenty-four ZDF rats were randomly divided into four groups ( n = 6 per group): control (standard diet), Diet A (54%-energy carbohydrate, 32%-energy fat, 14%-energy protein) mimicking a recommended adult Malaysian diet, Diet B (49%-energy carbohydrate, 37%-energy fat, 14%-energy protein) mimicking a low-carbohydrate, moderate high-fat diet, and metformin treatment (100 mg/kg), which effectively represents a 5%-energy exchange in isocaloric meals.

Dynamic changes rather than static levels were modeled using GAMLSS or zero-inflated Gamma models to assess time, cell line, cornel type, and dose effects. Untreated A375 cells showed time-dependent increases in PGE 2 , PGF 2α , thromboxane B 2 , and 13,14-dihydro-PGE 1 , consistent with inducible COX-2 activation, whereas MeWo cells maintained consistently high prostanoid levels, reflecting constitutive COX-2 expression. Cornus extracts modulated these trajectories in a cell- and dose-dependent manner. In A375, low concentrations allowed prostanoid accumulation, while higher doses flattened or reversed these increases; Japanese cornel produced the strongest inhibition, whereas European cultivars showed weaker or cultivar-specific effects. MeWo cells were less responsive, with significant changes emerging only at higher doses. PGD 2 and 6-keto-PGF 1α remained largely unchanged, indicating selective targeting of COX-2-dependent prostanoids. Extracts also reduced accumulation of downstream prostanoids, including 15-deoxy-Δ 12 , 14 -PGJ 2 and 13,14-dihydro-PGE 1 , particularly in A375 cells. These differences highlight a stronger susceptibility of early-stage melanoma to phytochemical intervention and support cultivar-dependent bioactivity linked to phytochemical composition. In summary, Cornus extracts selectively attenuate time-dependent trajectories of tumor-promoting prostanoids-most effectively with Japanese cornel-while sparing homeostatic mediators, warranting further investigation on their potential for melanoma chemoprevention or adjunctive therapy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589636/","authors":["Lewandowski Ł","Krzystek-Korpacka M","Mykhailova D","Korbecka M","Bryk M","Fleszar M","Fortuna P","Kucharska AZ","Sozański T","Zalejska-Fiolka J","Mosna K","Szewczak W","Bednarz-Misa I"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 3","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156982","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589610","name":"Can Carica papaya Serve as an Adjunct to Semaglutide in Mitigating Diabetes-Induced Testicular Injury Through Modulation of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, and the miR-34c/miR-155-SIRT1/FOXO1 Axis?

Forty adult male albino rats were divided into four experimental groups: a control group, a Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic group, a diabetic group treated with SEM (0.3 mg/kg), and a diabetic group treated with SEM (0.3 mg/kg) in combination with 10% papaya juice, administered for eight weeks. Statistically significant superiority over SEM alone was observed for selected endpoints; the findings primarily support the potential of papaya as a dose-sparing adjunct rather than demonstrating uniformly enhanced efficacy. They significantly improved systemic metabolic parameters, as evidenced by reduced fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ) levels and restoration of the lipid profile. Importantly, it also attenuated diabetes-induced testicular injury, as demonstrated by improved reproductive hormone levels, enhanced sperm parameters, restoration of antioxidant defenses, modulation of inflammatory and apoptotic signaling, and marked histopathological recovery of seminiferous tubular architecture. Antioxidant markers revealed a notable reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), along with significant increases in reduced glutathione, catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Furthermore, a marked modulation of key pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mediators was observed, including forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), microRNA-155 (miR-155), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), nuclear factor kappa B cell subunit 1 (NF-κB1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), caspase-3 (CASP3), and BCL2-Associated X Apoptosis Regulator (Bax), while a significant upregulation of sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), microRNA-34c (miR-34c), and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was also detected.

The extract strongly inhibited yeast α-glucosidase with an IC 50 value of 0.31 µg/mL, which was 450-fold more potent than acarbose (IC 50 = 139.47 µg/mL), under experimental conditions.

Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that P9 and P19 complexes with yeast α-glucosidase remained stable during the 500 ns simulations.

Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and a hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )-induced oxidative stress model. Anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages were measured using the Griess reagent system, a human prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) ELISA, and a bovine serum albumin (BSA) anti-denaturation assay. Antimicrobial activity was assessed by twofold serial broth microdilution, agar well diffusion, and a crystal violet biofilm assay. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, terpenoids, flavonoids, and steroids. PS exhibited IC 10 values of 3 and 10 μg/mL in fibroblasts and macrophages, respectively. PS (1-5 μg/mL) showed 70% DPPH scavenging potential and potent H 2 O 2 cytoprotection ( p < 0.001). Nitric oxide inhibition was non-significant ( p > 0.05) whilst PGE 2 decreased significantly ( p < 0.05) compared to LPS-stimulated cells. BSA denaturation was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner ( p < 0.05). Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis were the only microorganisms susceptible to PS (MIC 650-5000 μg/mL) with low SI (SI ≈ 0.05-0.06), while others were resistant. PS showed no antibiofilm activity (crystal-violet assay). Overall, PS demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and selective antibacterial effects against planktonic bacteria in vitro. However, further optimization of extraction methods, detailed mechanistic studies, and in vivo investigations are warranted to substantiate therapeutic relevance.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589471/","authors":["Sithole S","Shezi X","Mavundla M","Mateta C","Hlatshwayo S","Mhlungu S","Thembane N","Afrika P","Senzani S","Gomo E","Gqaleni N","Ngcobo M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 29","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156815","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589466","name":"Product Nkabinde Mediates Cytokine Modulation and Antiviral Activity in HIV-Infected MT4 Cells.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"During HIV infection, the immune system initiates an immune response to control the viremia.

However, their functional properties and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function and evolution of NR1J1 receptors in the bivalves Mytilus galloprovincialis and Ruditapes decussatus . We first identified four nr1j1 paralogs in R. decussatus and then integrated phylogenetic analysis, domain identity comparisons, tissue distribution profiling, and luciferase-based transactivation assays to characterize NR1J1 paralogs from both species. The receptors displayed distinct but partially overlapping transactivation profiles in response to confirmed ligands of NR1I and NR1H receptors, natural compounds, plant extracts, and fish bile, indicating paralog- and species-specific differences in ligand responsiveness. Allocholic acid emerged as the most consistent agonist across paralogs, whereas curcumin, carnosic acid, and Ptychopetalum olacoides extract showed more selective response patterns. Tissue profiling revealed broad but non-uniform expression of nr1j1 paralogs across bivalve tissues. Together, these findings underscore that bivalve NR1J1 receptors constitute a functionally diversified chemical-sensing system and provide a framework for future studies addressing ligand-dependent regulation and detoxification pathways.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589465/","authors":["Gómez-Román MP","Fonseca E","Araújo MJ","Vasconcelos V","Campos A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 29","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156810","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589458","name":"Squamocin as the Principal Toxic Constituent of Annona squamosa Seeds: Toxicity-Guided Isolation, Developmental and Neurotoxicity, and Metabolic Perturbations.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The seeds of Annona squamosa are widely used in traditional medicine and food, yet their safety profile remains unclear and the principal toxic constituent is unknown.

Metabolite identification and quantification were performed with Chenomx ® software, followed by multivariate statistical analyses including PCA and OPLS-DA. A total of 37 metabolites were identified, predominantly primary metabolites such as sugars (glucose, fructose), amino acids (glycine, asparagine), short-chain organic acids (malic, citric, and acetic acids), secondary metabolites (trigonelline, chlorogenic acid) and metabolism products (methanol, ethanol, acetic acid and acetone).

Gastric lesions, inflammation, and gut microbiota were evaluated via histopathology, ELISA, 16S rRNA sequencing, PICRUSt prediction, and correlation analysis. WWS improved general condition, food intake, and weight gain in CG rats, alleviated gastric mucosal damage, and reduced serum TNF-α and IL-6.

WWS reversed gut microbiota dysbiosis, restored α- and β-diversity, increased Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group abundance, and suppressed potential pathogens. Functional prediction showed that WWS upregulated beneficial pathways such as carbohydrate metabolism and downregulated infection-related pathways. Correlation analysis linked TNF-α/IL-6 negatively with the Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group and positively with Bacteroides. WWS ameliorates CG through a multi-dimensional mechanism that may involve modulation of the NF-κB inflammatory axis, rebalancing of gut microbiota structure, and remodeling of microbial metabolic function.

Saponins and Their Pharmaceutical Potential: A Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This review provides an updated and comprehensive assessment of the current literature on quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) saponins, with particular emphasis on pharmacological effects. Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an annual plant native to South America. Quinoa seeds are characterized by high nutritional value and are rich in proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, and saponins. Saponins are found in quinoa seeds and impart a bitter taste, which is why they are typically removed before seed consumption. Saponins have been characterized as antinutritional agents, but in recent years they have been investigated for their pharmaceutical applications. Protocols have been developed for the extraction of saponins from seeds, such as conventional solid-liquid extraction (maceration), ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, enzyme-assisted extraction, and pressurized liquid extraction. Ultrasound-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction are considered the most suitable methods for quinoa saponins. Quinoa saponins have shown promise as vaccine adjuvants. Furthermore, they have demonstrated direct anticancer activity, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the proliferation of breast and colon cancer cells. In general, saponins can induce hemolysis at high concentrations through membrane disruption, primarily via lipid solubilization or pore formation. However, hemolytic activity varies significantly among different saponins and depends on their chemical structure and concentration. In vivo, they have not recorded adverse side effects at doses below 50 mg/kg body weight per day. More than 40 triterpenoid saponins, mainly derived from oleanolic acid, ederagenin, phytolaccagenic acid, and sergianic acid, have been identified in quinoa. Overall, although quinoa saponins have traditionally been considered antinutritional compounds, accumulating evidence indicates that they possess promising pharmacological properties, particularly as anticancer agents.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589336/","authors":["Karydogianni S","Roussis I","Chatzitriantafyllou M","Kallergi S","Stavropoulos P","Mavroeidis A","Bilalis D","Kakabouki I"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 27","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156679","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589303","name":"Optimization and Characterization of TSG-Enriched Polygonum multiflorum Extract and Its Dual Mechanism Against Androgenetic Alopecia via 5α-Reductase Inhibition and Wnt/β-Catenin Activation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aimed to optimize the extraction and purification of TSG-enriched Polygonum multiflorum extract and evaluate its therapeutic potential against androgenetic alopecia.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was optimized to obtain a 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG)-enriched P. multiflorum extract (PME). The crude extract was further purified by medium-pressure liquid chromatography and semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Phytochemical profiling by HPLC demonstrated a 3.75-fold increase in TSG content, from 22,770.0 ± 815 ppm to 85,387.5 ± 192 ppm, and the identity of the enriched TSG was confirmed by LC-MS and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. PME exhibited potent dose-dependent inhibition of 5α-reductase activity, reaching 92.7% inhibition at 1 μg/mL, comparable to that of finasteride. In a testosterone (TES)-induced androgenetic alopecia (AGA) mouse model, PME markedly accelerated hair regrowth and increased both the number and size of hair follicles. Mechanistically, PME suppressed the conversion of TES to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) through 5α-reductase inhibition and promoted GSK3β inactivation, β-catenin stabilization, and nuclear translocation, indicating activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Consequently, the expression of hair growth-related proteins, including Ki67 (1.98-fold), epidermal growth factor (EGF, 1.54-fold), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1, 1.21-fold), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, 1.34-fold), was significantly upregulated. These findings demonstrate, for the first time, that TSG-enriched PME obtained through optimized MAE and chromatographic purification promotes hair regeneration through a dual mechanism involving 5α-reductase inhibition and Wnt/β-catenin activation, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic candidate for androgenetic alopecia.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42589303/","authors":["Huang TY","Chang MC","Su WT"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 25","doi":"10.3390/ijms27156648","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42589131","name":"An LPS-Immobilized Affinity Screening Platform Identifies Lipopolysaccharide Binding Phytochemicals from Taraxacum mongolicum.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and a key factor involved in the induction of host inflammatory responses.

In this study, seed extracts collected from populations growing in two Italian regions (Lazio and Molise) were investigated to evaluate their phytochemical composition, mineral content, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory potential. The metabolite profiles were characterized by qualitative Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis, allowing the identification of several phenolic compounds and other secondary metabolites. Antioxidant activity was assessed using in vitro assays, while anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase and soluble epoxide hydrolase, two key enzymes involved in the arachidonic acid cascade. To gain further insight into the possible mechanisms underlying these activities, molecular docking analyses were performed on selected metabolites identified in the extracts, exploring their interactions with the target enzymes. The extracts displayed promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while docking results supported the potential role of specific metabolites in enzyme modulation.

Among these, D. fullonum showed clear inhibitory activity and was selected for further investigation. Extracts from different plant organs revealed that PPO inhibition was localized in the leaves, while stems and flower receptacles were inactive. Bioautography-guided fractionation of leaf extracts enabled the isolation of active fractions, and structural characterization by HRMS and NMR indicated that the activity is associated with the iridoid glycosides sylvestrosides III and IV . Antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC) and TLC profiling demonstrated that PPO inhibition was not directly correlated with radical scavenging activity. In situ application of the leaf extract (0.5% w / v ) on fresh-cut apple slices significantly delayed browning during refrigerated storage, showing comparable or improved performance relative to ascorbic acid at later stages.

This makes it a promising candidate in sustainable agriculture as a bioherbicide by offering a solution to mitigate the growing problem of herbicide resistance. Therefore, this study was designed in agar culture to analyze the effect of powders of the branch, fallen leaf, and pericarp from Rhus typhina L. against seed germination of Portulaca oleracea L. and evaluate its inhibitory mechanisms based on anatomical structure and the activities of antioxidative enzymes, α-amylase, and β-amylase. The main allelopathic compounds were also identified based on high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and their bioherbicidal effects were evaluated. Brassica napus L. was used as the object for biosafety evaluation. The results showed that the seed germination of Portulaca oleracea L. under treatment with powder extract from Rhus typhina was inhibited by exhhibting swelling and deformation in endosperm cells and chaotically scattered starch granules in seed embryos with a shorter radicle length than the control. During the period of treatment, antioxidative enzymes were quickly activated to scavenge the suddenly surging reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a measure of boosted malonaldehyde (MDA) content. Antioxidative enzyme (POD, SOD, and CAT) activities were also activated to mitigate the oxidative damage. In contrast, both α-amylase and β-amylase activities were significantly suppressed. A total of 16 allelochemicals were identified in the branch, fallen leaf, and pericarp of Rhus typhina L. Among these, gallic acid, methyl gallate, and tyrosol were identified as exhibiting the most significant inhibitory effect during the whole germination process of Portulaca oleracea L., resulting in browned seedlings and stunted radicle length compared with the control, while far weaker inhibitory effects were found against Brassica napus L. In summary, extracts from Rhus typhina L. targeted α-amylase and β-amylase activities rather than antioxidative enzyme activities to inhibit the germination of Portulaca oleracea L. Gallic acid, methyl gallate, and tyrosol were the key compounds that inhibited its germination.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588814/","authors":["Ma Y","Feng J","Bau T","Zhao X","Han F"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 28","doi":"10.3390/plants15152310","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588776","name":"Bridging Pharmacopeial Standards and Chemical Reality of Triterpene Glycosides in Actaea racemosa.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Actaea racemosa L.

The aim of this study is to explore the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of Glaucium corniculatum (L.) Rud subsp. refractum (NAB) Cullen, and Glaucium leiocarpum Boiss., which are found in Türkiye and are known for their high alkaloid content. Traditionally, G. leiocarpum has been used for wound care, cuts, bruises, acne, hemorrhoids, headache, and diarrhea, while G. corniculatum subsp. refractum has been employed as an antitussive and for external applications against ocular inflammations. Ethanolic extracts and crude alkaloid fractions from the aerial parts were evaluated in vivo in anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive test models. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by the carrageenan-induced paw edema model, while antinociceptive activity was determined using tail-flick and hot-plate tests. G. leiocarpum ethanolic extract (200 mg/kg) showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity, effectively suppressing carrageenan-induced edema (1.58 ± 0.30-1.73 ± 0.51 mL), and displayed the strongest antinociceptive activity, with tail-flick latencies reaching 23.91 ± 2.08 s (90 min) and 22.23 ± 1.97 s (150 min) and hot-plate latencies of 22.27 ± 4.76 s (30 min) and 23.00 ± 4.61 s (90 min). Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the most active extract was carried out using various chromatographic techniques. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were employed throughout the isolation process to monitor fractions and determine their phytochemical profiles. As a result, two compounds were obtained and subsequently evaluated for their biological activities. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, 2D-NMR, and LC-MS analyses as kaempferol-3- O -glucorhamnoside and quercetin-3- O -glucorhamnoside.

This study evaluated the effects of G. procumbens extract (GPCE) and stigmasterol on oleic acid-induced hepatocyte steatosis and cholesterol metabolism-related gene expression. GPCE was assessed for HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) inhibition, lipid accumulation, and expression of cholesterol metabolism-related genes ( HMGCR , SREBP2 , LDLR , and PCSK9 ).

This structured narrative review of 119 studies across six databases synthesizes clinical evidence for phytochemical-based and biological intravaginal preparations, organized into five formulation categories: creams and gels, suppositories and vaginal tablets, douches and washes, probiotic preparations, and combined phytochemical-biological preparations.

In this study, Ocimum basilicum L. extracts were evaluated as biological cryoprotective agents for Streptococcus thermophilus . The extracts contained high levels of phenolic compounds (~1350-2200 mg GAE equivalents/L) and exhibited strong antioxidant activity (up to 5.6 mM Trolox equivalents). Density functional theory calculations showed low O-H bond dissociation energies (~72-74 kcal/mol in ethanol) for key components, including luteolin and rosmarinic acid. These calculations indicate a high hydrogen donation capacity comparable to or exceeding that of ascorbic acid. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated the preferential localization of major phenolic compounds at the membrane-water interface in a POPC bilayer membrane. The interaction of molecules with POPC increased membrane thickness and formed stable hydrogen-bond networks with lipid head groups. Experiments showed that systems based on basil extract significantly increased the survival of bacteria after storage at -25 °C, with the number of viable cells reaching (1.5-2.75) × 10 8 CFU/mL. This effect was observed in comparison with control groups that used saline or sucrose. Fluorescent analysis of live/dead cells confirmed the improvement in cell membrane preservation. At the same time, no signs of metabolic inhibition were detected. Taken together, the experimental and computational results support the hypothesis that the cryoprotective effect may involve complementary antioxidant and membrane-associated interactions. However, direct biophysical validation of the proposed membrane mechanism is still required. These results emphasize that polyphenol extracts are promising natural functional ingredients for improving the stability and shelf life of probiotic and starter cultures in food systems.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588509/","authors":["Pyanchenkova VA","Filozop VS","Volodarskiy MO","Borovikov DN","Balabanova OL","Osmak OO","Kazarin SS","Nesterov PV","Moskalenko IV","Ashikhmina MS","Skorb EV"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 30","doi":"10.3390/molecules31152661","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588507","name":"Polyphenol-Loaded Liposomal Nanocarriers from Marrubium vulgare: A Promising Nutraceutical Delivery System with Enhanced Bioactivity and Safety.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Marrubium vulgare L. aerial parts are a rich source of polyphenols with recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their therapeutic potential is limited due to poor stability and bioavailability.

Specifically, modern processed diets that are low in dietary fiber and high in fat and sugar can lead to the depletion of bacterial taxa over generations and contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases. These pathologies can potentially be prevented by increasing fiber intake, making the promotion of dietary fiber crucial for human health. Despite the recognized importance of fiber integration, there remains a significant gap in the understanding of the use of multiple dietary fibers in food to promote microbiota diversity, as well as which dietary fibers promote specific microbial taxa to restore symbiosis. To address this gap, we conducted an in vitro fermentation study using fecal samples from two individuals. We tested three types of dietary fibers of varying complexity: inulin, pectin, and dextran in a β-glucan-based medium. Samples were collected over a 48 h fermentation period (0-4-8-24-32-48 h) to evaluate temporal shifts in microbial composition and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. Through 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we found that the introduction of different fibers steered the microbiota of both individuals toward a convergent trajectory by 24-48 h. This result indicated that fiber complexity can reduce inter-individual variation in microbial community structure. Distinct levels of polysaccharide complexity between fiber types modulated specific bacterial taxa, supporting the concept that consuming a diversity of dietary fiber acts on complementary microbial niches. Notably, the observed shifts toward butyrate-associated taxa and reduction of pro-inflammatory lineages with dextran/β-glucan are relevant for pathologies characterized by dysbiosis, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Together, these results underscore the value of incorporating multiple fibers into food production, including fermented foods, to enhance prebiotic properties, stimulate the growth of fiber-fermenting bacteria, and promote microbial diversity. While these observations derive from a controlled in vitro pilot setting, they support the concept that multi-fiber dietary strategies based on complementary fermentable fibers with prebiotic properties may help shift the microbiome away from a pro-inflammatory state. Accordingly, dietary guidelines and public health approaches aimed at reducing chronic disease risk may benefit from emphasizing the inclusion of composite fiber blends rather than relying solely on single-fiber supplementation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588462/","authors":["Savo Sardaro ML","Kuthyar S","Dada O","Deivassagayame N","Tran M","Kern R","Koenig S","Seidman Y","Atallah M","Amato KR"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 27","doi":"10.3390/molecules31152613","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588457","name":"Enhancing Antioxidant and Storage Stability of Upcycled Fruit Bars Through NADES-Based Lavender Extract Addition.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study investigated the development of upcycled functional fruit bars based on dates or figs and grape pomace, enriched with a lavender extract obtained using a novel multicomponent natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES).

However, its potential as a source of antiproliferative agents and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the antiproliferative potential of P. scoparius through an integrated strategy combining phytochemical profiling, in vitro evaluation, and computational approaches, with particular emphasis on its activity against key cancer-related pathways. Study Design : An integrated experimental-computational study was performed to explore the multitarget antiproliferative profile of P. scoparius extracts. Methods : Phytochemical characterization was carried out using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS to identify the major bioactive constituents. Antiproliferative activity was assessed in vitro against human colorectal (HT-29) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell lines using the MTT assay. Molecular docking studies were conducted on selected major metabolites against relevant oncogenic targets, including PI3Kα, mTOR, COX-2, and BCL-2, to investigate potential mechanisms of action. Machine learning approaches were further employed to support the prediction of multitarget antiproliferative activity. Results : Chlorogenic acid and trans -ferulic acid were identified as the predominant phenolic compounds, while α-pinene was the major constituent of the essential oil. Both preparations exhibited significant dose- and time-dependent antiproliferative effects, with the essential oil showing enhanced cytotoxicity (IC 50 up to 35.4 µg/mL). In silico analyses revealed strong binding affinities of key metabolites toward critical oncogenic proteins, particularly within the PI3Kα/mTOR signaling pathway. Machine learning predictions further supported a multitarget antiproliferative profile. Conclusions : P. scoparius represents a promising source of natural compounds with multitarget antiproliferative potential.

Consequently, nutritional strategies supporting recovery have gained attention in sports nutrition. Among emerging compounds, adaptogens have attracted particular interest due to their potential anti-fatigue, antioxidant, and sleep-enhancing properties. However, evidence in trained athletes remains limited. Therefore, the aim of this narrative review is to summarize the current scientific evidence regarding the use of selected adaptogens in sport and to evaluate their potential roles in exercise recovery, training adaptation and exercise performance. Particular attention is given to Withania somnifera (ashwagandha), Panax species, Rhodiola rosea and Cordyceps species. Furthermore, this review discusses the practical implications and current limitations of the available evidence for athletes and sports practitioners. Conclusions: Current evidence from a limited number of heterogeneous studies suggests that selected standardized adaptogen preparations may provide beneficial effects on specific exercise-recovery-related outcomes and selected aspects of exercise performance in trained athletes. Among the adaptogens discussed, most consistent evidence concerns Withania somnifera , whereas the evidence for Panax species, Rhodiola rosea and Cordyceps species remains limited and should be considered preliminary. Furthermore, the available literature is characterized by a limited number of studies conducted in trained athletes, the underrepresentation of female athletes, and considerable heterogeneity in extract composition and supplementation protocols. Consequently, the current evidence is insufficient to formulate definitive recommendations regarding the efficacy, optimal dosage, or long-term safety of adaptogen supplementation. Further well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to establish evidence-based recommendations.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588175/","authors":["Książek A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 4","doi":"10.3390/nu18152552","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588162","name":"The Therapeutic Architecture of Chlorogenic Acids: Molecular Mechanisms in Chronic Disease Prevention.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This review examines the structural variety, distribution, and physicochemical properties of chlorogenic acids (CGAs), identifying coffee and green coffee as the leading dietary sources of these compounds. Preclinical studies indicate that plant-derived phenolic compounds exhibit strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic effects across various disease models. The biological effectiveness of CGAs is attributed to their modulation of cellular signaling pathways, particularly by activating the erythroid 2-related factor 2 antioxidant defense mechanism and inhibiting the pro-inflammatory nuclear factor kappa B pathway. The regulation of the energy-sensing Sirtuin 1 and AMP-activated protein kinase pathways further enhances these therapeutic effects. In the gastrointestinal tract, CGAs serve as key modulators of the microbiota-gut-brain axis by exerting prebiotic-like effects, lowering the Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes ratio, promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids, and preserving gut barrier integrity. Some preclinical studies with coffee, Ilex paraguariensis , Eugenia uniflora , and other CGAs-rich extracts are also discussed. However, despite strong preclinical evidence, translating these findings into human clinical settings remains inconsistent due to significant individual differences in gut microbiota metabolism and the confounding effects of other components in dietary supplements, such as caffeine. Considering this, the review will first explore the molecular mechanisms supporting the potential development of CGAs as preventive interventions, while also discussing current human trials demonstrating selective improvements in neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic functions. It will also highlight a historical limitation: the lack of studies on the bioavailability, bioactivity, and efficacy of isolated CGAs. The review will conclude by addressing the constraints of clinical studies, emphasizing the urgent need for future precision nutrition frameworks that employ standardized CGAs formulations to enhance potential therapeutic outcomes.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588162/","authors":["Morales-Lima G","Penha MEF","Piristrello BS","da Silva SCM","Negri G","Toro CA","Mendes FR","Pasinetti GM"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 4","doi":"10.3390/nu18152542","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588157","name":"Ilex paraguariensis (Yerba Mate): A Narrative Review of Bioactive Compounds, Biological Activities, and Green Extraction Technologies.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Ilex paraguariensis (yerba mate) is a widely consumed botanical beverage rich in caffeoylquinic acids, methylxanthines, flavonoids, and saponins.

Aspalathin is a flavonoid enriched in rooibos tea and has shown capacity to protect against hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress and inflammation. In the current study, we investigated the functional role of aspalathin in regulating liver metabolism and gut microbiota in the context of a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Male mice were fed a control diet or HFD, then HFD-fed animals were treated with or without aspalathin-rich extract (ASE). Hepatic neutral lipids were detected using oil red O staining and a colorimetric assay. Expression of cholesterol metabolism-, lipogenesis- and fatty acid β-oxidation-associated genes was measured. Gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing and bioinformatic approaches. Results: HFD-fed mice had markedly higher levels of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters and downregulated expression of cholesterol metabolism-, transport- and lipogenesis-related genes in the liver. ASE administration counteracted HFD-induced effects. In addition, HFD altered the composition, diversity and metabolic pathways of the gut microbiota. The richness of beneficial bacteria, particularly the butyrate-producing bacteria, was significantly decreased. The altered metabolic pathways are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides, as well as mitochondrial function. ASE treatment reversed most of the alterations back to the characteristics of the control group. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated the potential of ASE improving liver lipid metabolism and gut microbiota in the scenario of a high-fat diet, providing insights into future studies on the mechanism of ASE regulating lipid metabolism disorder.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588075/","authors":["Li X","He J","Ibrahim KS","Baran MR","Reilly J","Muller CJF","Louw J","Jiang HR","Shu X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 27","doi":"10.3390/nu18152452","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42588073","name":"Enhancing Exercise Performance with Natural Products: A Comprehensive Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Physical exercise has been a cornerstone of health and vitality across all age groups; however, while its importance remains undeniable, the complications associated with exercise such as fatigue, muscle damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress are not always effectively managed through conventional strategies.

We aimed to investigate whether FGF21 mediates the UPF-MASLD relationship in a population-based cohort and whether berry extract (BE) protects against UPF-related liver injury through FGF21 signaling. Methods: This study included 29,386 participants with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and iron-corrected T1 (cT1) from the UK Biobank. UPF intake was classified according to the NOVA system. Log-binomial and generalized linear regression models were used to estimate the associations of UPF with MASLD, PDFF, and cT1, respectively. In vivo, nine-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a baked Western diet (BWD) with bilberry extract (BE, 200 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 16 weeks. In vitro, the role of FGF21 was examined by knockdown experiments in AML12 hepatocytes. Results: UPF consumption was linearly associated with a higher risk of MASLD, with per 10% increment associated with 9% higher risk of MASLD (RR 1.09 [95% CI 1.07-1.10]), as well as dose-dependent increases in PDFF and cT1. Among the 283 plasma proteins associated with PDFF, FGF21 showed the strongest association with UPF intake and accounted for the largest proportion of mediation in the UPF-PDFF association. A significant interaction between UPF and berry intake was observed in MASLD risk ( p for interaction = 0.018). In the animal model, BE supplementation for 16 weeks alleviated BWD-induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and glucose intolerance, while upregulating hepatic FGF21, FGFR1c, and β-Klotho expression and improving mitochondrial function. FGF21 knockdown abrogated BE's protective effect against lipid accumulation in vitro. Conclusions: FGF21 emerged as a potential mediator of the association between UPF consumption and liver fat accumulation.

Because sarcopenia's severity directly correlates with frailty, it represents an important predictor of prognosis and disease risk. Current preventive and therapeutic strategies rely mainly on physical activity, which is not feasible for all patients. This study investigated the biological effects of two independently prepared Tuber borchii ( T. borchii ) extracts in an in vitro model of sarcopenic stress. Methods : The activity of T. borchii extracts was investigated in a cell-based model of sarcopenia, following previous observations that these preparations influence proliferation-related pathways, including ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Specifically, differentiated myotubes were exposed to D-galactose to reproduce atrophy-associated cellular changes, and the impact of T. borchii extracts on protein synthesis, turnover, and cell morphology was assessed. Results : T. borchii extracts enhanced protein synthesis and turnover in myotubes. Furthermore, the treatment significantly reduced the expression of key galactose-induced sarcopenia and atrophy markers, such as MuRF1. Morphological analysis confirmed this protective effect, showing that treated myotubes maintained greater thickness and exhibited a larger cross-sectional area despite exposure to the sarcopenic stimulus.

This review summarizes evidence concerning whole EVOO, phenolic-enriched EVOO, olive phenolic extracts, and the isolated compounds hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, and oleacein. Methods : A structured narrative search of PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted for literature published between 2015 and 2025. Evidence was reviewed for breast, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, bone, oral, liver, gastric, hematological, and brain cancers. Comparatively limited evidence concerning cervical, endometrial, ovarian, melanoma, non-melanoma skin, and thyroid cancers was summarized separately. Results : The molecular evidence was derived primarily from cell culture and animal studies using isolated phenolics and concentrated extracts. Preclinical studies indicate that EVOO phenolics may demonstrate anticancer activity through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, inhibition of metastasis, anti-angiogenic activity, and modulation of key signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK/ERK, NF-κB, JAK/STAT, Wnt/β-catenin, p53, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related pathways. Most molecular and pathway-level evidence was obtained using isolated phenolic compounds in cell culture or animal models, whereas evidence directly examining whole EVOO consumption was largely observational and substantially more limited. Experimental studies also reported that oleocanthal induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization, whereas hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein promoted mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, preclinical combination studies suggested enhanced tumor-cell sensitivity to selected chemotherapeutic, targeted, and immunotherapeutic agents. However, these effects have not been established in patients. Human evidence remains limited mainly to observational dietary associations and small exploratory interventions, with no conclusive demonstration of cancer prevention or therapeutic efficacy. Conclusions : Isolated EVOO-derived phenolic compounds demonstrated promising anticancer mechanisms in preclinical models. However, these results should not be directly extrapolated to dietary EVOO because experimentally administered doses, bioavailability, metabolism, and food-matrix interactions differ substantially from human dietary exposure. Therefore, well-designed studies using chemically characterized EVOO, pharmacokinetic investigations, and controlled human trials are required before dietary or clinical recommendations can be made.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42588039/","authors":["Maaz M","Sultan MT","Noman AM","Weiskirchen R","ElGhareeb WR","Mubarak BIAS","Rezk AA","Ibrahim MEE"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 24","doi":"10.3390/nu18152416","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42587962","name":"Changes in the Quality Characteristics of Gastrodia Elata During Traditional Processing: Insights from Multi-Omics Integration.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Gastrodia elata Bl .

However, the effects of different traditional processing methods on its quality attributes remain insufficiently elucidated. In this study, three representative processing methods, steaming, moistening, and bran-frying, were systematically compared to evaluate their impact on the structural, compositional, and flavor characteristics of GE. The results demonstrated that processing markedly altered both the physical structure and chemical composition of GE. Moistening caused minimal disruption to the native tissue architecture and largely preserved the free-water distribution pattern. Notably, gastrodin and p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol contents reached 0.38% and 4.16%, respectively, the highest among all treatments, while the overall flavor profile remained closest to that of fresh GE. In contrast, bran-frying induced pronounced dehydration and structural densification, with volatile compounds and differential metabolites accounting for 72.83% and 41.01%, respectively. This treatment also exhibited elevated levels of total phenolics, flavonoids, and protein. Steaming, by comparison, promoted starch gelatinization and water redistribution, shifting the flavor profile from a delicate herbal note toward enhanced umami, floral, and mildly roasted characteristics. Overall, these findings reveal that processing-induced structural remodeling and changes in water state play critical roles in regulating the quality attributes of GE.

Herein, plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) from Paris polyphylla stems/leaves (SL-EXO) exhibited potent anti-melanogenic properties, whereas root-derived PDNVs were ineffective. In vitro, SL-EXO achieved 92.66% cell-free tyrosinase inhibition, while α-arbutin was 49.78%. In vivo, SL-EXO ameliorated the pigmentation-driving oxidative/senescent microenvironment in zebrafish and reduced macroscopic melanin by ~66%. Crucially, SL-EXO reversed α-MSH-induced hyperpigmentation in B16F10 cells while maintaining excellent biocompatibility up to 0.15 mg/mL, displaying a vastly superior safety margin compared to α-arbutin (which induced cytotoxicity at 0.075 mg/mL). To decode this, multi-omics profiling revealed that SL-EXO utilizes a chloroplast-derived biomimetic lipid architecture (enriched in MGDG/DGDG) to efficiently deliver potent flavonoid payloads. Molecular docking demonstrated exceptional predictive structural affinities (binding energies up to -10.9 kcal/mol) between these phytochemicals and AKT1. Finally, pharmacological rescue assays validated that SL-EXO arrests melanogenesis by targeting the AKT1 pathway, thereby downregulating the p-AKT/p-GSK3/MITF signaling cascade and silencing melanogenic genes.

In vivo analyses demonstrated that CMSE significantly attenuated NP-induced reproductive toxicity. Treatment improved gonadosomatic index, restored antioxidant defenses (GSH, SOD, and CAT), reduced lipid peroxidation (MDA), normalized testicular protein and cholesterol levels, enhanced 3β-HSD and 17β-HSD activities, and restored serum testosterone concentrations.

A total of 143 signal peaks were detected, from which 112 compounds were successfully identified, predominantly belonging to aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones. Fingerprint analysis revealed that the three processed samples shared the same types of VOCs but differed in their contents. Principal component analysis (PCA) further confirmed a clear separation among the three processing treatments. The composition and content of VOCs act as crucial factors determining the flavor characteristics and sensory quality of processed licorice. Euclidean distance analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were performed to clarify the correlation characteristics of VOCs among differently processed licorice samples. The results identified that multiple flavor‑related differential volatile markers were closely associated with different processing methods. Unlike conventional GC‑MS, GC‑IMS requires no derivatization or complex sample preparation, enables separation of isomer and monomer/dimer signals, and provides high‑throughput volatile profiling - making it particularly suitable for differentiating processed herbal products.

These findings provide mechanistic insights supporting the potential of CSS as a therapeutic candidate in ARHL.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42584111/","authors":["Wang H","Gao J","Bai X","Liu X","Qu S","Gao Y","Zhao Y","Teng H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 12","doi":"10.1021/acs.jafc.6c03599","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42584049","name":"Piwei Peiyuan Pill Ameliorates Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia at Least in Part by Inhibiting the Pellino1/IRAK1/NF-κB Signaling Axis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a key precancerous lesion that may progress to intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma. Piwei Peiyuan Pill (PPP) has shown significant clinical efficacy in ameliorating CAG with IM, but its active components and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) were used to identify the components of PPP and the active ingredients in PPP-containing serum. The therapeutic efficacy and potential mechanisms of PPP were further investigated via transcriptomic sequencing and experimental validation. UHPLC-HRMS analysis of PPP-containing serum identified several bioactive components, including esculin, lithospermic acid, and atractylenolide III. In CAG rats, PPP significantly ameliorated gastric mucosal damage and reduced serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels. Transcriptomic results showed that IRAK1 was highly expressed in CAG patients with IM and associated with activation of the NF-κB pathway. PPP intervention dose-dependently suppressed hyperactivation of the Pellino1/IRAK1/NF-κB axis and decreased the expression of intestinal metaplasia markers CDX1 and MUC2. Additionally, PPP improved immune function by increasing the proportion of CD4 + T cells and decreasing the proportion of CD8 + T cells in CAG model rats. Taken together, these findings suggest that PPP mitigates CAG and attenuates IM at least in part by suppressing the Pellino1/IRAK1/NF-κB signaling pathway, indicating that it may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for reducing inflammation-associated gastric carcinogenesis.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42584049/","authors":["Zhang C","Lu F","Ye T","Jin Y","Qin Y","Wu K","Liu K","Wang X","Song H","Li X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1002/cbin.70195","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42583981","name":"Rice bran extract ameliorates experimental colitis by modulating gut dysbiosis and toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa β signaling.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Gut dysbiosis is widely recognized to serve as crucial role in the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activities of Styrax liquidus extracts. Styrax liquidus samples were macerated to obtain extracts in ethanol, 60% ethanol, methanol, chloroform, n-butanol, hexane, dichloromethane and water. The cytotoxicity profiles of the obtained extracts were evaluated using the MTT assay on the L929 cell line. In vitro antimalarial activity was tested using the ring-stage survival assay with the Plasmodium falciparum 3D7A strain. The antimalarial activity of the extracts was evaluated and those to be used in the in vivo stage were selected based on these results. For in vivo antimalarial activity assessment, Plasmodium berghei-infected Balb/c mice were used and the experimental animals were divided into methanol extract, water extract, chloroquine (positive control) and placebo groups. The predetermined doses were administered to the experimental groups via oral gavage in accordance with Peters' four-day suppression test protocol. The treatment schedule was administered at zero, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-infection and the animals' clinical course and parasitemia levels were regularly monitored using Giemsa-stained thin smears. The chemical profiles, component identification and the characterization of the extracts were evaluated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses. In the ring-stage survival test, the methanol and water extracts of Styrax liquidus completely inhibited P.falciparum at a concentration of 58 µg/mL. In the in vivo model, parasitemia appeared on day five in the placebo group and all animals died by day 11. In the water extract group, parasitemia was detected on day 17, and the animals died on days 24-25. In contrast, no parasitemia was observed in the methanol extract group during the 25- day follow-up period and survival was similar to that of the chloroquine group. The mean survival time was calculated as 25 days for the methanol and chloroquine groups, 24 days for the water extract group and 10 days for the placebo group. According to GC-MS and LC-MS analyses, cinnamic acid derivatives, phenolic compounds and fatty acid esters were identified as the main constituents of the methanol and water extracts. In conclusion, Styrax liquidus, particularly its methanol extract, appears to have a promising antimalarial potential.

Transcriptome sequencing combined with biochemical assays, qPCR, and Western blot further indicated that quercetin can induce ferroptosis, which is likely the key mechanism underlying its suppression of malignant progression in breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, by promoting the binding between the E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L and SLC7A11, quercetin induces the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of SLC7A11, ultimately leading to ferroptosis.

The present study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the biological potential of R. caesius root extracts prepared as an aqueous infusion (a traditional, food-relevant preparation) and an ethanol extract (a polyphenol-enriching extraction), and to relate differences in bioactivity to UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS-based phytochemical composition. The extracts were screened using complementary antioxidant assays (radical-scavenging and reducing power), a multi-target panel of enzyme inhibitory activities relevant to metabolic and cosmetic/neurobiological pathways (including α-amylase, α-glucosidase, acetyl-/butyrylcholinesterase, and tyrosinase), and antimicrobial/antifungal tests against representative bacterial and fungal strains. UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS profiling revealed a root metabolome dominated by phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanin-related constituents, with clear qualitative and quantitative differences between infusion and ethanol extracts. In agreement with the chemical findings, both extracts expressed pronounced antioxidant capacity, while enzyme inhibition was extract-dependent, indicating that solvent polarity influenced the recovery of constituents responsible for carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme and cholinesterase/tyrosinase inhibition.

The significant contribution of premier Indian institutions dedicated to 'Radioprotection Development Programme' is highlighted. Early investigations focused on synthetic radiopro-tectors, particularly sulphydryl compounds, which demonstrated strong radioprotective effects in laboratory settings. However, their clinical application was limited due to severe tissue toxicity. Subsequent research shifted toward natural thiols, novel synthetic compounds, and antioxidant nutrients. While these approaches produced encouraging experimental results, only a few showed real promise in clinical contexts. In recent decades, there has been a marked increase in studies on phytochemicals and herbal extracts, especially in Asian countries, driven by rich biodiversity and traditional medicinal systems such as Ayurveda in India. These phyto-products have shown high potential as effective radioprotectors with minimal toxicity. India has emerged as a key contributor in this domain, with extensive indigenous research efforts. Using databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, this review identifies and compiles 46 Indian medicinal plants investigated for their radioprotective properties. Extract-based studies reveal promising efficacy through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant activity and tissue protection. Preclinical findings demonstrate the ability of plant-derived bioactive compounds to mitigate radiation-induced damage. Notable examples include orientin and vicinin (Ocimum sanctum), podophyllin (Podophyllum hexandrum), curcumin (Curcuma longa), phyllanthin and flavonoids (Phyllanthus niruri) and polyphenol rich Rhodiola imbricata.

It induces osmotic stress, ion toxicity and systemic oxidative damage in crops. Breeding salt-tolerant varieties is time-consuming. This creates an urgent need for rapid and sustainable agronomic interventions. Algae and their bioactive extracts, such as polysaccharides, phytohormones and polyols, act as potent biostimulants and biofertilizers. They effectively function as exogenous elicitors. This review synthesises the multidimensional interactions between algae and plant defence systems under salt stress. We evaluate how compounds derived from algae orchestrate plant tolerance to salt. They bypass or synergise with endogenous signalling pathways to reprogramme transcriptional networks. We delineate the mechanisms underpinning ionic homoeostasis mediated by algae. These include SOS pathway modulation, osmotic adjustment, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and hormonal crosstalk through pathways dependent on or independent of ABA. Furthermore, we critically compare algae extracts with other biostimulant classes and dissect their crop-specific efficacies under multifactorial combined stress scenarios. The focus then shifts from molecular paradigms to agricultural applications. Integrating algae into soil microbiomes and broader soil remediation strategies significantly enhances rhizosphere health. Translating these advances from controlled laboratory conditions to efficacy at the field scale remains a prominent bottleneck. We highlight current knowledge gaps and propose future trajectories, including multiple omics integration, synthetic biology, precision agriculture integration, and nanoscale delivery systems. These approaches will help fully harness the potential of the algae and plant holobiont for agriculture adapted to climate change.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42579745/","authors":["Li J","Sun H","Shi Y","Han J","Liu P","Chen M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 11","doi":"10.1111/pce.70813","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"pmid:42579718","name":"Effects of neem extract on Artemia franciscana: Insights from high-throughput transcriptomics and phenotypic analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Neem-derived biopesticides are increasingly applied in agriculture and have been tested in aquaculture research, yet their effects on non-target aquatic invertebrates remain insufficiently characterized.

Juvenile A. franciscana exhibited dose-dependent mortality and sublethal abnormalities, with a 24 h median lethal concentration of 292.48 mg/L (95% confidence interval, 257.75-331.89) for mortality and a median effective concentration of 146.36 mg/L (95% confidence interval, 113.04-189.50) for the combined endpoint \"abnormal + dead\". In adults, males showed greater mortality than females after extended exposure. High-throughput RNA sequencing revealed broad treatment-associated differences in transcript abundance, with juveniles displaying downregulation of detoxification enzymes and chitin biosynthesis genes, alongside enrichment of immune- and cuticle-related gene ontologies. Adults showed transcriptional signatures of stress, including upregulation of heat shock proteins and cytoskeletal components, and suppression of genes involved in energy metabolism. Chitin precursor enzymes were selectively downregulated in males, and altered carbohydrate metabolism was observed in females. Histological analyses showed treatment-associated alterations in the embryo-bearing brood sac region and reduced ovarian area in treated females.

This study aimed to establish an integrated approach using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) coupled with bioactivity assay and mass spectrometry (MS) for the rapid screening and identification of pancreatic lipase inhibitory and antibacterial constituents in CF. Two HPTLC developing systems with different polarity ranges were optimized to comprehensively separate the chemical constituents, enabling effect-directed analysis. The results revealed that the pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity originated primarily from low-polarity triterpenoids. One active zone, consisting of co-migrating isomers, was successfully separated by in-situ iodine derivatization and characterized as maslinic acid and corosolic acid through comparison with reference standards. Another active zone was identified as arjunolic acid by using the exclusion method. Based on the Vibrio fischeri bioassay, six observed V. fischeri bioluminescence-inhibitory zones were mainly associated with high-polarity compounds, among which five were identified as isoquercitrin, hyperoside, chlorogenic acid, vitexin-2''-O-rhamnoside, and vitexin-4''-O-glucoside.

(HONS) DEGREE IN ZOOLOGY JUNE, 2021 ABSTRACT Rapid increase in the use of pesticides has led to the indiscriminate discharges of these pesticides into the aquatic environment and this has in turn created adverse effects on the aquatic organisms. Contaminants such as tobacco leaf dust released from agricultural farm lands into the water bodies induce changes in the hormonal levels in fish. The toxic effect of Tobacco leaf dust and the ameliorative properties of pawpaw leaf were therefore investigated. Juveniles of Heteroclarias were exposed to lethal concentrations (10.00 mg/L, 15.00 mg/L, 20.00 mg/L and 25.00 mg/L) of tobacco effluent under static renewal bioassay with continuous aeration for 96 hours. The 96 hours LC50 value was determined as 23.05 mg/L. The fish were fed on diet with varying percentage inclusion of pawpaw leaf (0.0%, 10.0% and 20.0%) for the period of 28days to ameliorate the toxicity. After the experiment, the fish were sacrificed to collect blood and brain for hormonal assay. There was significant (P 0.05) increase in the values of the parameters. The results obtained in the water quality parameter test of lethal exposure of Heteroclarias to tobacco leaf dust also showed significant (P>0.05) changes in the values of temperature, pH, conductivity, and DO. 3.3 PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF TOBACCO LEAF The ground tobacco leaves were taken to Central Research Laboratory, Tipper Garage, Tanke, Ilorin, Kwara State where they were tested for the presence of certain pharmacologically bioactive constituents shown in table 5 that may be responsible for its effect in test fishes. 3.4 PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF EXPERIMENTAL DIET The formulated feeds were taken to the Department of Animal Production in University of Ilorin where the various mean proximate composition of all the feeds used during the chronic test were analyzed and the result is shown in table 6.

Rather than asking \"What sounds do the symbols represent?\",PASA asks: \"What statistical regularities in token distribution can be detected, and what dothey imply about the content categories being encoded?\" The result is not a decipherment. No phonetic values are proposed, and no translation isoffered. The contribution is a proposed ontological content map: a statistically grounded,historically motivated, and falsifiable structural model of the manuscript's internalarchitecture. ───────────────────────────────────────────── THE CORE FINDING (Chapter 1) Two prefix-defined token classes show a statistically significant rank-order gradient acrossfive thematic sections: ok-class (e.g., okaiin, qokaiin) → proposed to encode Aristotelian substantia (substance) ot-class (e.g., otaiin, qotaiin) → proposed to encode passio/accidens (process/accident) Section ranking by ok/ot ratio: Pharmaceutical (3.27) > Biological (2.48) > Stars/Recipes (1.54) > Herbal (1.36) > Zodiac (0.67) Statistical result (confirmatory): Spearman ρ = 0.900 | exact one-sided p = 0.0417 | n = 5 Exploratory model-dependent: ρ = 1.000 | exact one-sided p = 0.0083 Intra-line positional asymmetry: ok-class tokens appear earlier in lines than ot-class tokens Mann-Whitney p = 4.39 × 10⁻⁴ (confirmatory) Both findings replicated across two independently constructed corpora: ZL3b (Zandbergen/Landini, 37,451 tokens) and corpus_clean.json (LSI, 37,394 tokens) ───────────────────────────────────────────── CHAPTER CONTENTS Ch. 1 — Foundations ok-/ot- binary established; PASA method introduced; five-point convergence (statistical, scholastic text comparison, phonological, astronomical, iconographic) Ch. 2 — Aristotelian Category System 8 of 10 Aristotelian categories identified in EVA prefix/suffix system: ok- (substantia ★★★★★), ot- (passio ★★★★★), yk- (relatio ★★★★), oe- (tempus ★★★★★), yt- (qualitas ★★★), ch- (actio ★★★ candidate), -am (habitus ★★★), -al/-ar (ubi ★★★) Intra-line ordering: oe- Biological (2.48) > Stars/Recipes (1.54) > Herbal (1.36) > Zodiac (0.67) 統計結果(確認的検定): Spearman ρ = 0.900 | exact one-sided p = 0.0417 | n = 5 探索的モデル依存補足値: ρ = 1.000 | exact one-sided p = 0.0083 行内位置非対称性(確認的): ok-クラスは ot-クラスより行の前方に出現(Mann-Whitney p = 4.39 × 10⁻⁴) 全発見は独立した2コーパスで方向的に再現(ZL3b・corpus_clean.json) ───────────────────────────────────────────── 各章の内容 第1章 — 基礎 ok-/ot-二項対立の確立・PASA手法の導入・5点収束(統計・テキスト比較・音韻・天文・図像) 第2章 — アリストテレス10カテゴリー体系 10カテゴリーのうち8カテゴリーをEVA接頭辞・語尾体系に同定: ok-(substantia★★★★★)・ot-(passio★★★★★)・yk-(relatio★★★★) oe-(tempus★★★★★)・yt-(qualitas★★★)・ch-(actio★★★候補) -am(habitus★★★)・-al/-ar(ubi★★★) 行内順序: oe- < yk- < yt- < ok- < ch- < ot- < -am (ガレノス処方記述順——時間→関係→質→実体→能動→過程——と対応) 第3章 — ガレノス4体液生理学 Biologicalセクションに9つの臓器・体液語根を同定: qol(心臓★★★)・kedy(肝臓★★★)・tal(脾臓★★★)・lol(静脈★★★) rol(肺★★★)・okar(動脈★★★)・olkain(血液★★★) olkedy(胆汁★★★)・shol(粘液★★) 最重要構造的発見: olkedy = ol + kedy(胆汁語根が肝臓語根を内包する) ガレノス体系での「肝臓が胆汁を産生する」関係の形態的符号化 第4章 — 惑星占星術 Starsセクションに7惑星語根候補を提案: otar(水星★★★)・lor(月★★)・shes(太陽★★候補)・otair(火星★★) shal(土星★★)・shear(金星★★)・chal/char(木星★★) 水星-眼(p<0.001★★★)・月-眼(p=0.002★★)の統計的共起が中世占星医学教義と整合 第5章 — 月の28宿システム f69vを月の28宿の存在論的分類表候補として提案(★★★): 31行フォリオ中28短行ラベル(1〜2トークン)= アラビア月の28宿数と一致 唯一のoe-ラベル(収穫期・季節マーカー)が宿の季節的次元と整合 コーパス全体で最高密度のyk-(関係語根)を持つ前文行 (7/32トークン=21.9%、次点のf73v行5の11.8%を大幅に上回る) 第6章 — 三層語彙モデル 語彙起源の三層モデルを提案: (1)ラテン語形式層(格語尾パラダイム・76%共有率) (2)アラビア語経由ラテン語借用層(aiin=ʿAyn・otar=al-Tarf・okal=Al-Baldah) (3)","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20248698","authors":["Kagawa, Ren"],"tags":["Voynich Manuscript","EVA transcription"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20248698","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.344Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20018348","name":"A Universal Pterocarpan-Vinyl-Polyphenol Scaffold for Multi-Target Skin Therapeutics: Six-Cycle Bayesian Active Learning Identifies Six Multi-Target Leaders Across 14 Skin-Disease Targets","source":"datacite","abstract":"Correction (new version, 2026-07-21) — citation correction.

Six members of this family were identified through six rounds of Bayesian active learning (R9–R14, 4,597 cofold predictions integrated, 14 protein targets, 200-candidate pool size). All six leaders satisfy the multi-target leadership criterion (top-5 in 8+ of 14 targets) and demonstrate paper-tier 10 ns molecular dynamics stability (RMSD < 2.0 Å) on RTX 5090 GPU. The expected-improvement (EI) acquisition function reached saturation at R12 (EI=0.0077), confirmed across three additional cycles (R13 EI=0.0077, R14 EI not greater than R13). The R12_4/R12_11/R14_5 hydroxymethyl/methoxy variants, R12_23 methyl ester (TYR/TYRP1 selective), R13_13 prenyl variant (R11_0 + lipophilicity enhancement), and R11_0 trihydroxy parent constitute a structure–activity relationship rich enough to support multi-vertical formulation strategies. R15/R16 chromanol follow-up separates a systemic-safety fragment path from a topical-optimized analog path; the R15 triple-safe chromanol fragment remained dynamically stable across its top-3 cofold targets in 30 ns MD, while an 18-pair R16 topical chromanol 30 ns matrix across TGFB1, DCT, and TYR remained paper-tier stable, and the TGFB1 top-6 subset remained stable in 60 ns follow-up (max RMSD 1.22 Å, max last-third mean 0.96 Å).

The R12_4/R12_11/R14_5 hydroxymethyl/methoxy variants, R12_23 methyl ester (TYR/TYRP1 selective), R13_13 prenyl variant (R11_0 + lipophilicity enhancement), and R11_0 trihydroxy parent constitute a structure–activity relationship rich enough to support multi-vertical formulation strategies. R15/R16 chromanol follow-up separates a systemic-safety fragment path from a topical-optimized analog path; the R15 triple-safe chromanol fragment remained dynamically stable across its top-3 cofold targets in 30 ns MD, while an 18-pair R16 topical chromanol 30 ns matrix across TGFB1, DCT, and TYR remained paper-tier stable, and the TGFB1 top-6 subset remained stable in 60 ns follow-up (max RMSD 1.22 Å, max last-third mean 0.96 Å).

Menisamula Parpam, a mono-herbal preparation derived from Acalypha indica, is traditionally indicated for conditions such as Kasam and Swasam. Scientific validation through phytochemical analysis is essential for its standardization and therapeutic justification. This paper qualitatively evaluated the phytochemical constituents, present in Menisamula Parpam. Materials and Methods: Menisamula Parpam was prepared using the whole plant of Acalypha indica following classical Siddha procedures, including calcination (Pudam). The prepared sample was subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard pharmacognostical methods to detect major bioactive constituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and proteins. Results: The analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols, and tannins, while glycosides, coumarins, saponins, and proteins were absent.

Menisamula Parpam, a mono-herbal preparation derived from Acalypha indica, is traditionally indicated for conditions such as Kasam and Swasam. Scientific validation through phytochemical analysis is essential for its standardization and therapeutic justification. This paper qualitatively evaluated the phytochemical constituents, present in Menisamula Parpam. Materials and Methods: Menisamula Parpam was prepared using the whole plant of Acalypha indica following classical Siddha procedures, including calcination (Pudam). The prepared sample was subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard pharmacognostical methods to detect major bioactive constituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and proteins. Results: The analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols, and tannins, while glycosides, coumarins, saponins, and proteins were absent. These phytoconstituents are known to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and bronchodilator activities. The presence of key bioactive compounds in Menisamula Parpam supports its traditional use in respiratory disorders.

Intervention: The patient underwent a 70-day integrative treatment protocol delivered in phases, including pranayama practices, hydrotherapy, dietary modifications, and herbal interventions. Topical applications included Aloe vera, neem, and turmeric, while internal herbal preparations comprised fenugreek, bitter gourd, and cinnamon. Results: A marked reduction in ulcer size was observed, decreasing from 15 × 7 × 2 cm at baseline to 5 × 3 × 0.2 cm by day 70, along with the development of healthy granulation tissue and epithelialization. Glycemic parameters improved, with fasting blood glucose reducing from 165 mg/dL to 118 mg/dL and postprandial glucose from 238 mg/dL to 170 mg/dL. Conclusion: This case suggests that integrative therapy may support wound healing and glycemic control in diabetic foot ulcer. Further controlled studies are needed to establish efficacy.

Bhaishajya Kalpana, the branch of Ayurveda dealing with drug preparation and formulation, provides systematic methods to convert raw natural substances into safe, effective, and patient-friendly dosage forms. Among the various formulations described in Ayurvedic classics, Kwatha Kalpana (herbal decoction) occupies a central and foundational position. Kwatha is a liquid preparation obtained by boiling coarse powder of medicinal drugs with water and reducing it to a prescribed volume. References to decoction-based preparations are found from the Vedic period, while detailed pharmaceutical guidelines are systematically described during the Samhita period by Acharyas such as Charaka, Sushruta, Vagbhata, Kashyapa, Harita, and Sharangadhara. Kwatha is included under Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana and further elaborated in Saptavidha Kashaya Kalpana, highlighting its adaptability according to patient strength, disease severity, and therapeutic purpose. This review aims to compile, analyze, and present classical and contemporary perspectives on Kwatha Kalpana, including its pharmaceutical principles, methods of preparation, administration, Prakshepa, shelf life, and clinical utility. Classical variations in drug-water proportion, soaking, vessel selection, heat application, reduction, and acceptability criteria are discussed to highlight the scientific reasoning underlying Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. The concepts of Grahya and Agrahya Kwatha demonstrate the importance of quality control and freshness, emphasizing that Kwatha is intended for immediate use and has a very short shelf life. A special focus is given to the concept of Upakalpana of Kwatha, particularly food-based preparations such as Yavagu, Yusha, Manda, Peya, Vilepi, and medicated drinking water. These preparations illustrate the Ayurvedic principle that food and medicine are not separate entities but exist on a therapeutic continuum. Kwatha-based food preparations play a significant role in digestion, convalescence, seasonal adaptation, and long-term health preservation. Their mild nature, ease of digestion, and suitability for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and chronically ill patients highlight their preventive and promotive value. The review also discusses the reasons for the widespread use of Kwatha from the Samhita period to modern times, including its simplicity, effectiveness, adaptability, and close association with digestion and daily diet. Advantages such as rapid absorption and flexibility are balanced against limitations like short shelf life, poor palatability, and preparation inconvenience. The evolution of modified dosage forms such as Ghana, tablets, syrups, and fermented preparations is examined as an adaptive response to these limitations. In conclusion, Kwatha Kalpana represents not merely a dosage form but a holistic pharmaceutical concept that integrates treatment, diet, and prevention. Its continued relevance in modern Ayurvedic practice reflects the timeless applicability of classical principles when understood and applied rationally.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19590789","authors":["1*Dr. Shital Hanmanlu Thakrod, 2Dr. Rahul Hanumantrao Kale, 3Dr. Sambhaji Shivaji Gosavi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.19590789","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19590790","name":"A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF KWATHA KALPANA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO FOOD-BASED UPAKALPANA IN AYURVEDA","source":"datacite","abstract":"Ayurveda emphasizes that the effectiveness of treatment depends not only on the selection of drugs but also on their proper pharmaceutical processing. Bhaishajya Kalpana, the branch of Ayurveda dealing with drug preparation and formulation, provides systematic methods to convert raw natural substances into safe, effective, and patient-friendly dosage forms. Among the various formulations described in Ayurvedic classics, Kwatha Kalpana (herbal decoction) occupies a central and foundational position. Kwatha is a liquid preparation obtained by boiling coarse powder of medicinal drugs with water and reducing it to a prescribed volume. References to decoction-based preparations are found from the Vedic period, while detailed pharmaceutical guidelines are systematically described during the Samhita period by Acharyas such as Charaka, Sushruta, Vagbhata, Kashyapa, Harita, and Sharangadhara. Kwatha is included under Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana and further elaborated in Saptavidha Kashaya Kalpana, highlighting its adaptability according to patient strength, disease severity, and therapeutic purpose.

Herbal medicines are an integral part of traditional healthcare in Nigeria and the source of livelihood for local herbal entrepreneurs and herbal medicine sellers. However, availability and accessibility of medicinal plant resources may decrease due to climatic change, such as increased temperatures, unpredictable precipitation, extended droughts and flooding. The study explores the link between climate change and the decline of medicinal plants in Nigeria and its impact on local entrepreneurs and sales of medicinal plants by the year 2025. The study is qualitative in nature and uses secondary data obtained from literature from scholarly publications, government publications, environmental assessment and other related studies on medicinal plants, climate change and herbal medicine markets in Nigeria. Changes in the availability of medicinal plants, the patterns of sourcing, operational costs, market prices, sales and livelihood conditions of local herbal entrepreneurs are analysed. The study suggests that climate change environmental changes with deforestation and land-use change coupled with unsustainable harvesting practices have created pressure on medicinal plant resources and some emerging challenges for the herbal traders. Reduced plant availability can lead to higher procurement prices, lower product variety, disruptions in supply chains and impact sales and revenue. The study thus suggests an increased capacity and capability building of climate change adaptation, medicinal plant conservation, sustainable harvesting and support to the value chain of herbal entrepreneurship and related livelihoods in Nigeria.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22082903","authors":["Agboola, Oluwafemi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.22082903","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:14.009Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20608599","name":"A Review on the Antiulcer Activity of Coscinium fenestratum","source":"datacite","abstract":"Ethanol extract of Coscinium fenestratum was evaluated in the form of 5% w/w extract and 10% w/w extract in the excision wound extracted on the dorsal side of the experimental animals, the10% w/w extract ointment showed significant improvement in wound models and the result were compatible to that of the standard drug povidone iodine (5% w/w) in terms of wound contracting ability, epithelial period and tensile strength(1,2).

CHM was associated with a higher overall recovery rate (risk ratio [RR] = 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 1.26, p = .003) and decreased recurrence rate (odds ratio [OR] = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.55, p = .002), both confirmed by sensitivity analyses. CHM could decrease scoring atopic dermatitis index (MD = −0.61, 95% CI: −1.12, −0.11, p = .017), however, sensitivity analysis revealed non-robustness. No significant differences were found between the CHM and the control group in Eczema Area and Severity Index, QoL, and the incidence of AEs. CHM was effective for treating AD as it could improve the overall recovery rate and decrease the recurrence rate. More studies are required to validate the potential of CHM on disease/symptoms severity and QoL.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.24551161.v1","authors":["Jinjing Jia","Sherman X.

While radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment, anti-thyroid drugs, and surgical resection are currently at the forefront for GD; thyroid replacement therapy is used for HT. Many studies are being performed to develop new treatment methods for Graves and Hashimoto thyroiditis patients who do not respond to traditional treatments. While herbal treatments are being tried for GD, studies are being carried out on changing nutritional habits or additional food supplements for HT. While there are currently many studies on traditional Chinese medicine in the literature for GD, nutrients for HT are considered complementary treatments using their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In patients with HT, the need for levothyroxine increases, especially due to possible interactions of gliadin with thyroid antigens, the presence of lactose components in levothyroxine preparations, and damage to the intestinal villi in those with lactose intolerance. Therefore, the course of the disease may be better in HT patients with additional dietary recommendations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010013","authors":["Mehmet Tolga Kafadar","Baran Demir"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_37","name":"Challenges in the Storage of Herbal Medicine Products and Strategies for Sustainable Management","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_37","authors":["Priyanka Devi","Prasann Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-22T04:42:13Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_37","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/9789815305005124010014","name":"Subject Index","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010014","authors":["Cennet Ozay","Gokhan Zengin"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010014","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.cam/2024.358","name":"Effective Role of Herbal Medicines in Sepsis Treatment","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.cam/2024.358","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-25T07:07:15Z","doi":"10.47278/book.cam/2024.358","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100934","name":"The Mechanism of Wenhua Decoction in the Treatment of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer by Network Pharmacology and Molecular Dynamics Simulation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100934","authors":["D.

The cases related to viral, protozoal, and bacterial infections were selected. Patients with amoebiasis, e-coli, gastrointestinal infection, skin and urinary tract infections were treated using herbal drugs. Diagnoses were confirmed with investigations. Repeated investigations were carried out to confirm the improvement. Most herbal medicines do not exhibit serious side effects and are safe to prescribe, showing greater acceptability.

All of them can be transmitted by coming into contact with tainted food, drink, or bird emissions, particularly feces. Numerous clades of H5N1 infections have been circulating since 2003, including one introduced to the United States in 2014 by wild birds, which persisted until 2016. There were 2,240 wild birds found in 45 states and 519 counties in the United States alone by September 14, 2022. According to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), the predominant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) A (H5) virus subtype causing poultry outbreaks worldwide from late 2021 to early 2022 is A (H5N1). Most notifications from wild birds across multiple countries and regions suggest that the virus may have been introduced and spread via uncontrolled bird migration. The primary instance of a goose/Guangdong/1/96-lineage H5 HPAI infection inside the Americas since June 2015 was checked by the later disclosure of an H5N1 HPAI outbreak in Newfoundland, Canada. The avian flu Type A viruses, or bird flu viruses, rarely cause human infection; some bird flu viruses have done so in the past. The HPAI (H5) virus has been persistent in wild bird populations in Europe since the 2020-21 epidemic wave, according to the paper titled “Avian Influenza Overview: March-June 2022.” Even regions like Antarctica had avian influenza cases in 2023-24. Prevention and control can be done by monitoring and reporting outbreaks, preventing avian influenza at its source in animals, banning chicken farms, controlling methodologies, remuneration for ranchers, and vaccination.","url":"https://doi.org/10.4081/idhm.2024.386","authors":["Dronesh Chettri"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-20T05:13:02Z","doi":"10.4081/idhm.2024.386","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100942","name":"Antimicrobial activity and molecular docking analysis of Salsola kali: investigating potent biological interactions and chemical composition","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100942","authors":["Erdi Can Aytar","Betül Aydın","Emine Incilay Torunoğlu","Alper Durmaz"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-19T12:13:09Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100942","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/9789815256321124060002","name":"List of Contributors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815256321124060002","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-07T07:56:45Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815256321124060002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2024.05.001","name":"Comprehensive summary of material basis − Laying a foundation for substances of medicine food homology development","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2024.05.001","authors":["Wenyuan Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-08T07:33:58Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2024.05.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/9789815238129124030002","name":"List of Contributors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815238129124030002","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-23T11:46:16Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815238129124030002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100876","name":"Determination of consistency in pH of some commercial herbal formulations in Ghana","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100876","authors":["Doris Kumadoh","Hilda Amekyeh","Mary-Ann Archer","Michael O.

This review aims to summarize current experimental and clinical evidence on medicinal plants used for ENT conditions such as otitis externa/media, tinnitus, vertigo, allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis, and to support the identification of new plant species with antimicrobial potential against ENT pathogens. This review thoroughly summarizes recent developments from 2020 to 2025 and was conducted using electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, with predefined ENT and medicinal plants-related keywords. Frequently used species include Lavandula angustifolia, Thymus vulgaris, Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Origanum vulgare, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Mentha piperita, Matricaria chamomilla, and Syzygium aromaticum, many of which show In vitro antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral activity relevant to upper airway and oral/ENT infections. Evidence indicates that selected medicinal plants and their extracts or essential oils inhibit key ENT-related pathogens, including multidrug-resistant respiratory and pharyngeal bacteria. The compiled data, structured in comparative tables, highlight promising taxa and preparation types, and underscore gaps in clinical validation, standardization, and safety assessment. Overall, this review provides an evidence-based overview of ENT-related phytotherapy and a framework for future pharmacological and phytochemical studies aimed at developing novel plant-derived antimicrobials for ear, nose, and throat diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10787-026-02251-0","authors":["Kayıran SD","Özdaş T","Güven Bölgen UM","Çevikelli T","Şahan MN","Ertuğrul

European paediatric practice, but formal authorisations for their use in children remain limited. Following the 2024 workshop in Krakow, the Foundation Plants for Health (FPfH) organised a further workshop in Naples on 31 August 2025 as part of the 73rd International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA) to present updates of recent activities in the field of real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) for rationalising the usage of herbal medicines in children. Speakers presented concrete new data sources - private health insurance claims, patient reported outcome cohorts, and a social-media-based user survey - as well as modern methods in epidemiology. The workshop concluded that decision-relevant paediatric data on the use of HMPs can be generated efficiently by establishing new RWD data sources. For the subsequent next steps, it is necessary to engage with regulators to open usage of these data pools in regulatory practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2845-2840","authors":["Symma

Although various treatment modalities exist, most demonstrate limited efficacy and carry the risk of adverse effects. In recent years, external Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies (including acupuncture, fire needle, and herbal external applications) have attracted increasing attention as alternative interventions. However, their comparative effectiveness remains uncertain due to the lack of systematic evaluation. Methods: A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to assess the relative efficacy of different external TCM therapies for melasma. A total of 10 randomized controlled trials involving 944 participants were included. Primary outcomes were changes in melasma lesion area and pigmentation color. Subgroup analyses and surface under the cumulative ranking probabilities were employed to compare intervention rankings. Heterogeneity, publication bias, and consistency were assessed using standard meta-analytic methods. Results: Compared with conventional treatments, external TCM therapies (including body acupuncture, fire needle, and herbal applications) did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements in melasma area or pigmentation color (all mean differences included or approached zero). Subgroup analysis indicated that fire needle therapy may offer relative improvement in pigmentation, while body acupuncture combined with conventional treatment showed a slight advantage in reducing lesion area; however, the overall strength of evidence was low. The presence of study heterogeneity, small sample sizes, and potential publication bias likely contributed to the lack of statistical significance. Conclusion: Current evidence does not support a definitive advantage of external TCM therapies over conventional treatments in the management of melasma. Clinical decision-making should be individualized, and the application of external TCM therapies should be considered with caution. High-quality, large-sample, and methodologically standardized randomized controlled trials are warranted to further explore the therapeutic potential of these interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000048240","authors":["Yangyingqi Dai","Guangye Li","Pingsheng

(CIRI) is classified under the category of stroke. Sanhua Decoction (SHD) is a classic prescription for the treatment of stroke, but its pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of action have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the bioactive components and therapeutic mechanisms of SHD against CIRI by integrating serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology, and metabolomics. Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry, a 22 absorbed SHD prototype compounds were identified from rat serum. Through the application of network pharmacology and molecular docking technology, it was concluded that the key active ingredients, such as marmesin and aloe-emodin, mainly play a therapeutic role through key targets such as steroid receptor coactivator (SRC) and protein kinase B1 (AKT1). Molecular docking showed that these targets had strong affinity with key compounds. The results of pharmacodynamics showed that SHD could improve the neurological function score of CIRI rats, reduce the infarct area, and improve the pathological changes of brain tissue. Metabolomics analysis showed that SHD may play a therapeutic role by regulating steroid hormone synthesis and ubiquinone-related pathways. This study provides a methodological framework for exploring the role of Chinese herbal compounds in the treatment of CIRI.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bmc.70339","authors":["Liu T","An L","Song XL","Feng G","Qin Q","Han C","Lei Y","Liu G","Ma K","Hou J","Li W","Sui Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/bmc.70339","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121459","name":"Jianpi Fuzheng Xiaoji formula ameliorates gastric precancerous lesions via suppression of neutrophil extracellular trap formation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.121459","authors":["Zhang Y","Wang Y","Wang X","Zheng H","Cheng H","Zhang S","Xie P","Liu W","Pan H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.121459","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/tswj/8106682","name":"Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating Ethiopian Traditional Medicine System Into Modern Medicine: A Narrative Review.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/tswj/8106682","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1155/tswj/8106682","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1829981","name":"Evidence map for randomized controlled trials of treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion for dry eye disease.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1829981","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1829981","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.432Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/0122117385412374251111045823","name":"Harnessing Nanocarriers to Overcome Bioavailability Barriers of Herbal Actives: A Comprehensive Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Plant-derived constituents (phytoconstituents) exhibit diverse pharmacological activities and have significant therapeutic potential for various diseases. However, their clinical application is often hindered by their poor solubility, instability, and low bioavailability (<10% in many cases). Nanotechnology-driven drug delivery systems provide innovative solutions to overcome these limitations and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of herbal compounds. However, major challenges remain, including concerns about long-term safety, potential toxicity, regulatory approval pathways, and reproducibility. Bridging the gap between preclinical promise and clinical translation remains a significant hurdle. A comprehensive review of studies (2019-2024) indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect was conducted using keywords: \"Phytoconstituents\", \"Bioavailability Enhancement\", \"Herbal Nanoformulations\", \"Nanocarriers\", and \"Herbal Medicine\". Nanoformulations, such as solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, nanosuspensions, and phytosomes, have achieved significant improvements in pharmacokinetic profiles-for instance, a 9.17-fold increase in the oral bioavailability of curcumin, a 7-fold increase for naringenin, and a ~4.5-fold increase for piperine. These systems enhance solubility, stability, and targeted delivery, resulting in better therapeutic efficacy in preclinical studies. The findings highlight the potential of nanocarriers to transform the delivery of herbal actives by addressing traditional limitations. The observed multiple-fold enhancements in bioavailability affirm the promise of herbal nanoformulations. While nanotechnology significantly enhances the bioavailability and pharmacological potential of phytoconstituents, challenges persist, including clinical translation barriers, a lack of standardization due to herbal variability, scalability issues, and regulatory approval hurdles. Future research should focus on developing smart, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, employing eco-friendly green synthesis methods, and establishing robust standardization protocols to achieve reproducible, safe, and effective herbal nanoformulations for clinical use.

However, systematic studies on its quality control methods remain limited, which restricts its further development and application. In this study, an integrated strategy combining separation and analytical techniques with chemometric methods was established to screen quality markers related to the antiasthmatic activity of L. pauciflorus. The chemical constituents of the extracts were systematically characterized using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, and plasma pharmacochemistry was employed to investigate potential in vivo bioactive constituents. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprint profiles of samples from different batches were established. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis were applied to identify key differential components. To evaluate antioxidant activity and link it with chemical constituents, radical scavenging assays combined with high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection were conducted to identify potential antioxidant-related components. Furthermore, network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to construct a compound-target interaction network, from which candidate components related to antiasthmatic effects were screened. By integrating all the above results, a multidimensional \"spider-web model\" was constructed, and the regression area of each component was calculated to evaluate its overall contribution. Ultimately, eight quality markers were identified: chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, nevadensin 5-gentiobioside, nevadensin 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, forsythoside B, paraboside B, acteoside, and lysionotin.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jssc.70387","authors":["Liu C","Wang Y","Xie J","Shahid M","Tang L","Shi D","Lu Y","Pan J","Li G","Huang Y","Li Y","Sun J"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/jssc.70387","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/27683605261441386","name":"Published Database Resources for Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine: Update of a Systematic Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/27683605261441386","authors":["Raak CK","Martin DD","Boehm K","Hacke D","Unger S","Ostermann T"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1177/27683605261441386","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-31978-z","name":"Factors associated with herbal usage among hypertensive and diabetic patients in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: A cross-sectional study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Herbal or traditional medicine (TM) is widely used among chronic disease patients. The Indonesian government actively supports the development and integration of herbal remedies, including phytopharmaceuticals, into the national healthcare system. The support is grounded on Law Number 17 of 2023, which delineates the role of natural medicines. The purpose of the study is to describe the use of TM and the factors associated with TM use among hypertensive and diabetic patients in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. This study is a cross-sectional design. The respondents were patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus, and comorbidities were excluded. They were selected conveniently when they attended the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were gathered between July and August 2024 using a pretested questionnaire. The measured variables included TM use and the following variables: gender, age, education level, income level, TM knowledge, source of TM information, family support, neighborhood support, friends and other social support networks, and medication adherence. Data were analysed using descriptive, bivariate Chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression. Ninety-nine hypertensive and 100 diabetic patients resulted in 199 study participants. All participants used prescription medicines, and 51% (n = 199) reported using TM. The use of TM was 47% and 56% in hypertensive and diabetic patients, respectively. The most commonly used TMs were cucumber (36%) and garlic (18%) for hypertensive patients, while bitter melon (28%) and ginger (10%) were for diabetic patients. Several main reasons for TM use were feeling healthier (59%), hereditary from the family (13%), cheap (6%), easy to obtain (6%), easy to make by themselves (6%), minimal side effects (6%), and taste good (6%). As many as 68% and 61% hypertensive people had good adherence among TM and non-TM users, respectively. In diabetic individuals, 50% and 54% have good adherence for TM and non-TM users, respectively. The study indicated there was no significant association between various factors and the use of TM in hypertensive and diabetic patients. Gender, age, education level, income level, adherence to prescription medication, and support from family and friends were not significantly associated with the use of TM. For hypertensive patients, peer support and TM information sources show significant bivariate relationships with TM use, while for diabetic patients, personal knowledge and information sources are key factors. Multivariate analysis reveals no independent predictors for TM use in diabetes, but the TM information source emerges as the sole dominant predictor in hypertension (OR: 5.67, p = 0.018). The findings highlight the critical importance of information channels in facilitating the adoption of TM among hypertensive patients, with exposure significantly increasing the likelihood of usage. The absence of independent predictors in diabetes after adjustment indicates that various factors, such as knowledge and support, may interact in complex ways, thereby diminishing the impact of individual factors. Healthcare providers must prioritize verifying the quality of TM information through reliable channels to reduce risks.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-31978-z","authors":["Widayati A","Hadning I","Wulandari ET"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-31978-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s40104-025-01348-w","name":"Ability of the Chinese herbal residue to alleviate short-distance transportation stress in sheep through the remodeling of the rumen microbiome-metabolism axis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-025-01348-w","authors":["Li J","Ren J","Xu J","He J","Yin Q","Yao J","Wu S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s40104-025-01348-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/svn-2024-003931","name":"Treatment of acute intracerebral haemorrhage with a Chinese herbal formula (Shengdi Dahuang Decoction): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/svn-2024-003931","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1136/svn-2024-003931","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.441Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/ptr.70324","name":"Efficacy of Plant-Derived Therapies for Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as recurrent, cramp-like lower abdominal pain occurring during menstruation in the absence of underlying pelvic pathology. A significant proportion of the population opts for natural plant-based remedies due to their perceived lower incidence of adverse effects. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of plant-based interventions in the management of primary dysmenorrhea. Systematic review and meta-analysis. A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, and Scopus) covering the period from 1990 to 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of plant-based products or herbal medicine for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea were included. Searches, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Discrepancies were resolved through consultation with a third reviewer expert in the topic. A total of 47 studies were included in the systematic review, of which 22 were incorporated into the meta-analysis. The findings indicate that herbal medicine can be as effective as conventional pharmacological treatments (n = 1133, MD: 0.12, 95% CI: -0.29 to 0.53, p = 0.58, I 2 = 95%), such as mefenamic acid or ibuprofen, in managing primary dysmenorrhea. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was observed when compared to placebo (n = 941, MD: -1.83, 95% CI: -2.32 to -1.34, p < 0.00001, I 2 = 92%). Adverse effects were infrequent, mild in severity, and resolved upon discontinuation of the intervention. Overall, the certainty of evidence is low to very low due to high heterogeneity and moderate risk of bias. Plant-based treatments may reduce pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea and are probably comparable to conventional drug therapies. However, further studies employing more rigorous methodologies are required to establish stronger evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of herbal medicine in addressing this health condition.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ptr.70324","authors":["Wu L","Xu Lou I","Hu Z","Wang G","Deshpande SV","Cáceres-Matos

to traditional healthcare systems in Uganda. This decline is driven by excessive global consumption estimated at 85%, and upsurge of herbal medicine trade amidst conservation challenges. This study documented indigenous knowledge on the commonly used medicinal plants in Namutumba district, Eastern Uganda. The study also documented demographic characteristics of informants, and assessed local conservation practices in order to inform more effective conservation strategies. METHODS: An ethnobotanical survey involving 300 respondents was conducted using pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaires in 17 sub-counties of Namutumba District. Data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics using STATA version-15.0, and Graphs plotted using GraphPad Prism® version 9.0.0. RESULTS: One hundred and seventy-four medicinal plant species belonging to 63 families and 160 genera were documented. Plants were mostly obtained from bushlands (Frequency of citation = 276, 92.0%), markets (247, 82.3%), and wetlands (224, 74.7%). Plants belonged mainly to families Fabaceae (24, 13.7%), Asteraceae (15, 8.6%), and Euphorbiaceae (10, 5.7%). Leaves were the commonly used plant parts (532, 45.7%). The plants were cited for treating infectious diseases like malaria, and non-infectious chronic ailments such as diabetes (42, 24.0%) and cancer (17, 9.7%). Kigelia africana was the most cited species with Relative Frequency of Citation of 0.22. Almost all respondents (289, 96.3%) acknowledged a considerable decline in the availability of 13 medicinal plants including Aloe wollastoni and Commiphora Africana, significantly attributed more to climate change (296, 95.5%), than other factors like overharvesting, agriculture, and habitat destruction (χ2, p < 0.05). Conservation strategies were scarce. Four of the medicinal plants documented in this survey were found to be Red listed among the plants whose population has greatly declined and is vulnerable to extinction in Uganda and globally. CONCLUSION: Despite the rich diversity of medicinal plants in Namutumba, conservation strategies are scarce, and some plants are globally red listed among the species whose population has greatly declined and are vulnerable to extinction. Therefore, in Uganda, conservation strategies that are tailored to vulnerable, rural areas such as Namutumba district, are warranted to improve intervention outcomes in such settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-025-05235-9","authors":["Tugume P","Ssenku JE","Asiimwe S","Mustafa AS","Walusansa A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1186/s12906-025-05235-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jaim.2025.101269","name":"Virtual herbal garden (Hayushasutra): An educational aid for Ayurveda students.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The AYUSH sector relies mainly on medicinal plants and metals, which form the foundation of traditional healing practices.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers potential treatments. Luling Anshen Granules (LLASG), a patented multi-herb formula used clinically for kidney disorders, have shown promise in preclinical studies, though their mechanisms remain unclear. A CRF mouse model was induced with a 2.5% adenine suspension. Mice were allocated into six groups: control, CRF model, Urotoxin Qing Granules (UCG) positive control, and three groups treated with LLASG at doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg. Renal function was evaluated after 4 weeks using blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and 24-hour urinary protein measurements. Renal tissues underwent examination through hematoxylin and eosin, Masson, and TUNEL staining techniques. Protein and gene expressions were analyzed by Western blot, RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. A β-catenin knockdown experiment was conducted, and LLASG’s biocompatibility and safety were evaluated in cardiac and hepatic tissues. LLASG enhanced renal function in a dose-dependent fashion, reducing serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels by approximately 30–40% at the highest dose compared with CRF mice, decreased renal tissue damage and apoptosis, and alleviated renal inflammation through NF-κB pathway inhibition. It mitigated renal fibrosis by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. β-catenin knockdown diminished the therapeutic effects of LLASG, confirming its mechanistic role. LLASG produced no observable cardiac or hepatic toxicity under the conditions tested, indicating acceptable short-term biocompatibility. Overall, LLASG ameliorates renal dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis in CRF mice by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12010-026-05592-2","authors":["Yang Y","Xiong G","Yang R","Chen Q"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s12010-026-05592-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000048592","name":"Evolution of Triphala research over 2 decades: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of trends, hotspots, and international collaboration.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000048592","authors":["Zhao Y","Li S","Jiang L","Hu S","Kreher D","Haak R","Schmalz G"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000048592","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2026.1807082","name":"Rhabdomyolysis associated with <i>Ophioglossum vulgatum</i> consumption: a case series and safety implications.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2026.1807082","authors":["Li X","Liao L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1807082","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/frabi.2026.1764314","name":"Traditional medicine and natural product based therapeutics in gingivitis management and microbial interactions.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frabi.2026.1764314","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/frabi.2026.1764314","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158113","name":"GSTM2 as the molecular linking of depression-driven colon cancer progression and chemoresistance: Reversal by Sinisan.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158113","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.phymed.2026.158113","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1820234","name":"Editorial: The increasing relevance of traditional medicine systems for the primary health care sector and general practice: global research perspectives, volume II.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1820234","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1820234","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.14020834","name":"Anam Ahmed","source":"datacite","abstract":"Associate Professor, Dental Public Health, University Dental College, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

However, their potential to induce organ toxicity remains poorly recognised and under-reported. Objective: This review aimed to critically synthesise available evidence on hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with herbal remedy use in West Africa, with emphasis on toxicological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, regulatory challenges, and public health implications. Methods: A critical narrative review of peer-reviewed literature and grey sources published between 2000 and 2024 was conducted using major biomedical databases and regional repositories. Relevant studies addressing herbal medicine-associated hepatic and renal toxicity were identified, appraised, and synthesised narratively. Results: Reviewed evidence showed that herbal remedies are associated with diverse hepatic and renal injuries ranging from asymptomatic biochemical abnormalities to acute liver failure, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease. Toxicity was linked to phytochemical cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, immune-mediated injury, herb–drug interactions, and heavy metal contamination. Under-reporting was driven by poor patient disclosure, limited clinician awareness, weak pharmacovigilance systems, and inadequate regulatory oversight. Conclusions: Herbal remedy-associated hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity represent under-recognised but preventable public health problems in West Africa. Strengthening regulatory frameworks, integrating herbal medicines into pharmacovigilance systems, improving clinical vigilance, and promoting targeted public health education are essential to reducing toxicity-related morbidity and improving the safe use of herbal medicines in the region.","url":"https://doi.org/10.71637/toxicologydigest.vol5no1.51","authors":["Ibezim, Harmony U.","Eboreime-Oikeh, Imesidayo O.","Esene, Hendrith","Azenabor, Shalom E.","Ayua, Solomon T.","Sule, Saeed"],"tags":["herbal medicine toxicity","hepatotoxicity","nephrotoxicity","pharmacovigilance","regulatory oversight","West Africa"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.71637/toxicologydigest.vol5no1.51","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21057234","name":"Gut - Liver Axis and Herbal Therapeutics in MASLD: A Systems Biology Perspective","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents the most prevalent chronic liver condition globally, affecting approximately 32% of the adult population and imposing a substantial burden of morbidity and healthcare expenditure.

Rather than asking \"What sounds do the symbols represent?\", PASA asks: \"What statistical regularities in token distribution can be detected, and what do they imply about the content categories being encoded?\" The result is not a decipherment. No phonetic values are proposed, and no translation is offered. The contribution is a proposed ontological content map: a statistically grounded, historically motivated, and falsifiable structural model of the manuscript's internal architecture. ───────────────────────────────────────────── THE CORE FINDING (Chapter 1) Two prefix-defined token classes show a statistically significant rank-order gradient across five thematic sections: ok-class (e.g., okaiin, qokaiin) → proposed to encode Aristotelian substantia (substance) ot-class (e.g., otaiin, qotaiin) → proposed to encode passio/accidens (process/accident) Section ranking by ok/ot ratio: Pharmaceutical (3.27) > Biological (2.48) > Stars/Recipes (1.54) > Herbal (1.36) > Zodiac (0.67) Statistical result (confirmatory): Spearman ρ = 0.900 | exact one-sided p = 0.0417 | n = 5 Exploratory model-dependent: ρ = 1.000 | exact one-sided p = 0.0083 Intra-line positional asymmetry: ok-class tokens appear earlier in lines than ot-class tokens Mann-Whitney p = 4.39 × 10⁻⁴ (confirmatory) Both findings replicated across two independently constructed corpora: ZL3b (Zandbergen/Landini, 37,451 tokens) and corpus_clean.json (LSI, 37,394 tokens) ───────────────────────────────────────────── CHAPTER CONTENTS Ch. 1 — Foundations ok-/ot- binary established; PASA method introduced; five-point convergence (statistical, scholastic text comparison, phonological, astronomical, iconographic) Ch. 2 — Aristotelian Category System 8 of 10 Aristotelian categories identified in EVA prefix/suffix system: ok- (substantia ★★★★★), ot- (passio ★★★★★), yk- (relatio ★★★★), oe- (tempus ★★★★★), yt- (qualitas ★★★), ch- (actio ★★★ candidate), -am (habitus ★★★), -al/-ar (ubi ★★★) Intra-line ordering: oe- Biological (2.48) > Stars/Recipes (1.54) > Herbal (1.36) > Zodiac (0.67) 統計結果(確認的検定): Spearman ρ = 0.900 | exact one-sided p = 0.0417 | n = 5 探索的モデル依存補足値: ρ = 1.000 | exact one-sided p = 0.0083 行内位置非対称性(確認的): ok-クラスは ot-クラスより行の前方に出現(Mann-Whitney p = 4.39 × 10⁻⁴) 全発見は独立した2コーパスで方向的に再現(ZL3b・corpus_clean.json) ───────────────────────────────────────────── 各章の内容 第1章 — 基礎 ok-/ot-二項対立の確立・PASA手法の導入・5点収束(統計・テキスト比較・音韻・天文・図像) 第2章 — アリストテレス10カテゴリー体系 10カテゴリーのうち8カテゴリーをEVA接頭辞・語尾体系に同定: ok-(substantia★★★★★)・ot-(passio★★★★★)・yk-(relatio★★★★) oe-(tempus★★★★★)・yt-(qualitas★★★)・ch-(actio★★★候補) -am(habitus★★★)・-al/-ar(ubi★★★) 行内順序: oe- < yk- < yt- < ok- < ch- < ot- < -am (ガレノス処方記述順——時間→関係→質→実体→能動→過程——と対応) 第3章 — ガレノス4体液生理学 Biologicalセクションに9つの臓器・体液語根を同定: qol(心臓★★★)・kedy(肝臓★★★)・tal(脾臓★★★)・lol(静脈★★★) rol(肺★★★)・okar(動脈★★★)・olkain(血液★★★) olkedy(胆汁★★★)・shol(粘液★★) 最重要構造的発見: olkedy = ol + kedy(胆汁語根が肝臓語根を内包する) ガレノス体系での「肝臓が胆汁を産生する」関係の形態的符号化 第4章 — 惑星占星術 Starsセクションに7惑星語根候補を提案: otar(水星★★★)・lor(月★★)・shes(太陽★★候補)・otair(火星★★) shal(土星★★)・shear(金星★★)・chal/char(木星★★) 水星-眼(p<0.001★★★)・月-眼(p=0.002★★)の統計的共起が中世占星医学教義と整合 第5章 — 月の28宿システム f69vを月の28宿の存在論的分類表候補として提案(★★★): 31行フォリオ中28短行ラベル(1〜2トークン)= アラビア月の28宿数と一致 唯一のoe-ラベル(収穫期・季節マーカー)が宿の季節的次元と整合 コーパス全体で最高密度のyk-(関係語根)を持つ前文行 (7/32トークン=21.9%、次点のf73v行5の11.8%を大幅に上回る) 第6章 — 三層語彙モデル 語彙起源の三層モデルを提案: (1)ラテン語形式層(格語尾パラダイム・76%共有率) (2)アラビア語経由ラテン語借用層(aiin=ʿAyn・otar=al-Tarf・okal=Al-Ba","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20222131","authors":["Kagawa, Ren"],"tags":["Voynich Manuscript","EVA transcription"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.20222131","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.344Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5061/dryad.98sf7m0tr","name":"Local ecological knowledge systems worldwide follow distinct pathways of change under shared global pressures","source":"datacite","abstract":"The global loss of local ecological knowledge (LEK) has prompted concerns about the erosion of its values and negative impacts on indigenous communities’ well-being.

Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically reviewed literature from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar (2004-2024) for nine selected plants form reputed siddha text where the plants were described in traditional basis: Anacyclus pyrethrum, Syzygium aromaticum, Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Terminalia chebula, Acacia catechu, Ficus benghalensis, Solanum surattense, and Mentha arvensis. Data on phytochemistry, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anesthetic, and antioxidant activities were extracted and categorized using WHO evidence classification. Six plants achieved clinical readiness (Levels Ia-IIa). Curcuma longa demonstrated Level Ia evidence with meta-analyses confirming efficacy in periodontitis and oral mucositis. Syzygium aromaticum, Azadirachta indica, Terminalia chebula, and Acacia catechu showed Level Ib evidence from randomized trials. T. chebula exhibited superior anticaries activity (MIC 10 μg/ml against S. mutans), while A. pyrethrum demonstrated exceptional analgesic effects (94% pain inhibition). A. indica provided unique antiviral activity and broad antimicrobial spectrum. Scientific validation supports integrating six Siddha herbs into evidence-based dental practice. It is concluded that their therapeutic profiles offer accessible, cost-effective solutions for global oral health challenges, particularly anticaries, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory applications. Which will enhance the integrative dentistry in future medicine 2.0.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19907149","authors":["Varnakulendran N.1*, Thanushiyan V.2"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.19907149","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.25439/rmt.32061117","name":"The Role of Chinese Herbal Medicine for Reducing the Recurrence of Colorectal Adenoma: Current State of Evidence and Clinical Implications","source":"datacite","abstract":"BackgroundColorectal adenoma (CRA), is a precancerous lesion that increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). CRA recurrence post-polypectomy is common. The use of western medications and supplements, including aspirin, COX-2 inhibitors, calcium, and vitamin D is limited by controversial efficacy and potential adverse events, highlighting the need for safe and effective alternatives. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is widely used to prevent CRA recurrence in China, but current evidence remains limited. Rigorous systematic reviews are lacking, real-world effectiveness data are insufficient to support individualised treatment decisions, and there is little evidence on the perspectives of practitioners and patients. Thus, evaluating the evidence on CHM for CRA recurrence and providing real-world data on effectiveness, safety, and stakeholder views is essential.Research aim, objectives, and research questionsThis project aims to systematically evaluate the current state of evidence and clinical implications of CHM for CRA recurrence prevention.The objectives are as follows: (1) To assess whether oral CHM is beneficial in reducing CRA recurrence post polypectomy(2) To investigate the views of CM practitioners on the use of CHM for CRA recurrence prevention(3) To evaluate the potential benefits of oral CHM on the reduction of CRA recurrence post polypectomy in a real-world clinical setting, and(4) To explore the views of patients with CRA on the use of CHM for CRA recurrence preventionThe corresponding research questions are: (1) What is the current state of evidence on the effectiveness and safety of CHM for CRA recurrence reduction post polypectomy? (2) What are the perspectives of CM practitioners on using CHM for reducing CRA recurrence post polypectomy?(3) Is CHM beneficial for reducing the CRA recurrence rate post polypectomy in a real-world clinical setting?(4) Is CHM safe for patients with CRA post polypectomy in a real-world clinical setting?(5) What are the perspectives of patients with CRA on using CHM in reducing CRA recurrence post polypectomy?Methods and resultsThe project included four components: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), a real-world cohort study, and two qualitative studies (interviews with CM practitioners and CRA patients from the cohort study).Systematic reviewNine databases were searched from their respective inceptions to May 2024. Twenty (20) trials (2,325 participants), investigating the preventive effects of CHM among patients with CRA post-polypectomy were included. The findings provided low-to-moderate evidence suggesting that the add-on of oral CHM to routine care is beneficial for CRA recurrence prevention and well-tolerated by CRA patients. This systematic review identified San zi granule and Si jun zi decoction as possible representative formulae. Experimental studies indicated these formulae may function through specific anti-cancer mechanisms.Interviews with Chinese medicine practitionersSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 experienced CM practitioners from the Gastroenterology Department in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine (GPHCM), China. Practitioners acknowledged the observed benefits of CHM on CRA recurrence, as well as improvements in CM constitution and changes in clinical manifestations. The common clinical patterns in CM, often referred to as syndromes, were spleen deficiency, qi deficiency, dampness accumulation, heat, and blood stasis. These guide the design of individualised treatment strategies. Gaps were also identified between clinical practices and professional guideline recommendations. Interviews identified lack of consistency in the optimal duration and dosage of CHM treatments. Practitioners also identified opportunities for improvement for the polyp chronic disease management program at GPHCM.Prospective cohort studyThis study enrolled 364 CRA participants post polypectomy to observe the effects of CHM treatment, if","url":"https://doi.org/10.25439/rmt.32061117","authors":["Cheng, Yi"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine and treatments"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.25439/rmt.32061117","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.31016836","name":"Complementary therapies for management of menopausal symptoms: a systematic review to inform the update of the International Menopause Society recommendations on women’s midlife health","source":"datacite","abstract":"Menopausal hormone therapy is standard treatment, but some women use complementary therapies.

Complementary and integrative health practices are characterized as therapeutic approaches guided by the principle of integrality, aiming to stimulate natural mechanisms for disease prevention and health recovery through a multidimensional perspective of the individual. Global estimates indicate that approximately 80% of the world’s population uses such modalities, often in conjunction with conventional medicine (WHO, 2024; Hoenders et al., 2024). In the Brazilian context, these practices were institutionalized through the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC), established in 2006 and progressively expanded to the 29 modalities currently offered within the Unified Health System (SUS) (Brasil, 2006; Brasil, 2017; Brasil, 2018). In the field of child and adolescent health, CIM practices have been increasingly incorporated into care, particularly within primary health care settings. Their use is widespread across different international contexts, although it shows considerable variability between countries and therapeutic modalities (Torres et al., 2021; Szychta et al., 2025; Godoy et al., 2026). Mental health conditions among adolescents represent a significant and growing global public health concern, contributing to substantial morbidity, impaired functioning, and long-term negative outcomes. In this context, there has been increasing interest in the use of CIM approaches—such as mindfulness, yoga, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other non-conventional therapies—as adjuncts or alternatives to conventional mental health treatments. Despite the expanding use of these interventions, the extent, characteristics, and effectiveness of CIM strategies for adolescent mental health remain unclear and fragmented across the literature. Therefore, this scoping review seeks to systematically identify, map, and categorize existing studies addressing CIM interventions targeting mental disorders and psychological distress in individuals aged 10 to 19 years. The review will follow established methodological frameworks for scoping reviews, including guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute and reporting standards such as PRISMA-ScR. A comprehensive search will be conducted across multiple electronic databases and sources of grey literature, without restriction on study design, in order to capture a broad range of evidence. Eligible studies will include experimental, observational, qualitative, and mixed-methods research that investigates any form of CIM intervention applied to adolescent populations with mental health-related outcomes. Data extracted from included studies will encompass key characteristics such as study design, population, type of intervention, outcomes assessed, and main findings. The results will be synthesized using descriptive numerical summaries and thematic analysis, and presented through tables, charts, and narrative synthesis. The expected outcomes of this review include: (1) a comprehensive mapping of CIM interventions used in adolescent mental health care; (2) identification of the most frequently studied approaches and target conditions; (3) recognition of knowledge gaps and under-researched areas; and (4) generation of evidence to inform clinical practice, policy-making, and future research. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the role of complementary and integrative medicine in supporting adolescent mental health and well-being.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/mu4v9","authors":["Esper, Larissa Horta","Ferreira, Helena"],"tags":["Medicine and Health Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/mu4v9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.344Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/mgsv5","name":"What dietary, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are available for managing constipation in haemodialysis patients, and what is known about their clinical application and outcome?

Standardised evidence-based guidance for constipation management in haemodialysis remains limited. This review will map existing evidence on these interventions and identify research gaps. Methods We will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and be report in line with PRISMA-ScR. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL and Web of Science Core Collection will be searched for English-language studies published from 2014 onwards. In addition, national and international renal guideline bodies will be searched to identify formally endorsed clinical guidance. Discussion This scoping review will map the current evidence and identify gaps in the literature on the management of constipation in haemodialysis patients. Keywords Constipation, Dietary fibre, Kidney failure, Haemodialysis, Laxatives. Introduction Constipation is a common problem in adults with kidney failure receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT), especially those undergoing maintenance haemodialysis (HD). Reported prevalence rates range from 63% to 71.7% (Zhang, Huang et al. 2013, Cha, Park et al. 2023). Constipation results from a several dietary, pharmacological, treatment-related and physiological factors. Management of renal failure contributes to the problem due to physical inactivity, reluctance to defecate during dialysis sessions, dietary restrictions and restricted fluid intake. Medications, such as phosphate binders, iron supplements, and potassium-binding resins, also exacerbate constipation (Cha, Park et al. 2023). There are also disease-related physiological changes contributing to constipation including build-up of uraemic toxins and altered gut microbiota (Lydia, Indra et al. 2022). Underlying conditions like diabetes can cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which further compromises bowel function (Zhang, Tang et al. 2022). Constipation in HD patients is often under-recognised and may not be systematically addressed within routine care. Individuals report significantly lower quality of life and reduced mental health scores (Zhang, Huang et al. 2013). There are associations between constipation requiring laxative use and increased risks of cancer-related and infectious mortality in haemodialysis populations (Honda, Itano et al. 2021). There is a lack of standardised guidelines specific to constipation management in HD patients and treatment decisions are often based on individual clinician experience, habitual prescribing patterns or trial-and-error approaches. Addressing this gap is essential not only for effective symptom management but also for reducing the burden of inconsistent care in a patient group already facing complex medical needs. Preliminary searches indicate that the existing literature is fragmented, encompassing a wide range of study designs, populations, and outcome measures. This heterogeneity and limited evidence base preclude traditional systematic review or meta-analysis, which require uniformity and larger sample sizes for statistical synthesis. Recent searches have not identified any systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or registered protocols that comprehensively map interventions for constipation in haemodialysis patients or summarise their reported clinical outcomes.

The analysis result of this research shows that the maximum number of documents 564, falls under the Herbal Medicine and Ethnobotany topic, followed by 450 and 356 documents under the Indigenous knowledge system and Clinical and Pharmacological Studies topics, respectively. This study found that among the coherence scores calculated by 30 different training LDA modules, one module, namely alpha 0.01 and beta 0.01, had the highest coherence score - 0.613233, indicating that one or two topics dominate each document, and the keywords within each topic are distinct. The study also highlights the latent trends in the IKS and visualises the inter-topic distance map, indicating semantic relationships between topics. In addition, using the Pearson correlation matrix to measure inter-topic correlations, the output heatmap indicates that the six topics are fairly independent, distinct, and non-overlapping.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18786682","authors":["Adhikari, Souvik","MALLIK, SOUMEN","Rath, Durga Sankar","DEY, SAMARJIT"],"tags":["Indian Knowledge System","Topic Model","Latent Dirichlet Allocation","Research Trends","LDA Modules","Web of Science"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.18786682","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3886/e245285v1","name":"Abortion pills Dubai*%UAE^*[☎️+971556394139]Dr leen Safe Abortion Pills for sale in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Alain-Cytotec/Misoprostol and mifepristone Medicine Available in Dubai*%UAE^* Abu Dhabi,Sharjah, Ajman and the UAE","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abortion pills Dubai*%UAE^*[☎️+971556394139]Dr leen Safe Abortion Pills for sale in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Alain-Cytotec/Misoprostol and mifepristone Medicine Available in Dubai*%UAE^* Abu Dhabi,Sharjah, Ajman and the UAE.

This guide will explore everything you need to know about abortion pills in Dubai—from the medical facts to the legal risks and the best course of action.Understanding Abortion Pills:What Are Abortion Pills?Abortion pills\" is the common term for a medication abortion, a safe and effective method of ending an early pregnancy using a combination of two medicines: mifepristone and misoprostol. This method is used in over half of all abortions in the United States. How They WorkThe process typically involves two steps:Mifepristone: The first pill, mifepristone (brand names include Mifeprex® or RU-486), is taken orally. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for a pregnancy to grow. Without progesterone, the uterine lining breaks down, and the pregnancy cannot continue.Misoprostol: The second medicine, misoprostol (brand name Cytotec®), is usually taken 24 to 48 hours after mifepristone. It causes the uterus to contract and bleed, expelling the pregnancy tissue, similar to a heavy, crampy period or an early miscarriage. Misoprostol can be taken orally, vaginally, or dissolved in the cheek or under the tongue, as instructed by a healthcare provider. Effectiveness and SafetyWhen used together, the combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is highly effective (around 93-99%, depending on gestational age). It is considered very safe, with a lower risk of serious complications than childbirth. Common side effects include cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and chills. A healthcare provider will offer guidance on managing these symptoms, often recommending over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen (aspirin should be avoided, as it can increase bleeding). Accessing Abortion PillsAccess to abortion pills varies significantly by location due to rapidly changing laws and regulations. Healthcare Providers: Medication abortion can be obtained from qualified healthcare providers, such as doctors, nurses, and clinics like Dr. Leen Abortion Centre.Telehealth: In states where it is legal, some services offer virtual consultations and mail the pills directly to the patient's home.Online Resources: Organizations like Plan C provide information on how to access abortion pills in every state, though they also note potential legal risks in some areas. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before taking abortion pills to confirm the pregnancy is in the uterus (to rule out a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy) and to ensure the medication can be used safely based on your medical history. For confidential legal information, the Repro Legal Helpline is available in the United States.

This may include psychological (e.g., manifestation), physical (e.g., massages and chiropractic manipulation), and nutritional/medicinal approaches (e.g., herbal and homeopathic practices).1 The efficacy of CAM is often not scientifically proven.2 Nevertheless, its use may cause adverse events and may critically interact with evidence-based medicine (e.g., St. John’s Wort activating the pregnane-X-receptor , thereby reducing CYP3A4 and the effectiveness of for example oral contraceptives and HIV/AIDS medication).3 This is especially relevant, as a recent European-wide study indicates that over 90% of CAM users concurrently use medication prescribed by a healthcare professional.4 Furthermore, the use of CAM may provide an unjustified sense of effective treatment. This may delay help-seeking behavior within the evidence-based medical system, and consequently the detection, diagnosis and evidence -based treatment of symptoms which, in addition to high out-of-pocket individual costs, can lead to increased societal costs.5 Despite the potential disadvantages of CAM, its use is common across populations worldwide. Systematic reviews of self-reported data report prevalence estimates ranging from 10% to 75% for any CAM use, and 2% to 49% for visiting a CAM practitioner. Th e variety in estimates include the definition of CAM used (e.g., applying CAM techniques that do not require a visit to a CAM provider, only using over-the-counter medication , visiting a CAM provider, or combining visits to a CAM provider with over-the-counter medication), methodological approaches used (e.g., differing recall periods or self-report versus routinely-collected data) and the population studies given financial, social, and cultural differences.6,7 Studies consistently show a female preponderance in the use of CAM. The Norwegian Tromsø study (N=11,104) reports that 42% of the women versus 24% of men in the study sample saw a CAM provider, or used OTC or CAM techniques in the past year, while these frequencies are 54% versus 43% in a US-based study (N=13,246) , respectively.6,7 A Dutch study reported that women have 1.5 times higher odds of consulting a CAM provider than men during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic.8 Multiple reasons have been proposed for the higher use of CAM in women, including gendered healthcare-seeking behavior,9 reduced female access to conventional care,10 more frequent experience of adverse reactions of evidence-based medicine among women,11 unmet female needs within the conventional healthcare system for example during menopause ,12 and sex and gender differences in beliefs about health and healing.13,14 Women are also considered to be more likely to seek holistic and preventative approaches to maintain good health or resolve illness than men.15 Furthermore, CAM is generally conceptualized as ‘soft and feminine’, compared to ‘hard and masculine’ evidence-based medicine.16 This may reinforce the female preponderance in CAM use. In addition to gender differences in CAM use, age also may associate with CAM use. 17-19 A decline among older adults in CAM use is observed in multiple studies, despite their higher burden of chronic condit ions. This paradox may reflect generational differences in attitudes toward CAM, fear for polypharmacy, or practical barriers such as cost, mobility, or lack of evidence-based provider availability.20 Age-related patterns in CAM use may be related to sex and gender as well. Perimenstrual pains and discomfort is found to be a prominent reason for women to use CAM. Studies report pain relief and high satisfaction among women who use CAM, including acupuncture and aromatherapy, to reduce dysmenorrhea, yet the quality of evidence is low, due to publication bias, low-quality studies and poor reporting practices.21-23S","url":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/64xqh","authors":["de Vries, Sieta","Ballering, Aranka Viviënne"],"tags":["Alternative and Complementary Medicine","Public Health","Medicine and Health Sciences","Epidemiology","Alternative medicine","Complementary medicine","Gender differences","Lifecourse"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.17605/osf.io/64xqh","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7910/dvn/nknonx","name":"Supplementary file: Fifteen Years of Research on Herbal Medicine for Diabetes Mellitus (2010–2024): A Bibliometric Overview","source":"datacite","abstract":"Table of Highlights of Keyword Co-Occurrence Network Analysis Based on Author Keywords","url":"https://doi.org/10.7910/dvn/nknonx","authors":["Puspitosari, Rosita Riris"],"tags":["Medicine, Health and Life Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.7910/dvn/nknonx","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7910/dvn/llmtep","name":"Raw Data for: Fifteen Years of Research on Herbal Medicine for Diabetes Mellitus (2010–2024): A Bibliometric Overview","source":"datacite","abstract":"Scopus database on herbal medicine research for diabetes mellitus in the time range 2010–2014, in CSV format","url":"https://doi.org/10.7910/dvn/llmtep","authors":["Puspitosari, Rosita Riris"],"tags":["Medicine, Health and Life Sciences"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.7910/dvn/llmtep","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17783142","name":"PHARMACEUTICAL FORMS IN THE TREATMENT OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: IMPACTS ON QUALITY OF LIFE","source":"datacite","abstract":"Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior, requiring individualized interventions.

Seasonal immune suppression, primarily driven by reduced sunlight exposure and colder temperatures, compromises host defenses, making individuals more susceptible to pathogens. Alongside this, common lifestyle patterns during winter—such as poor nutrition, inadequate physical activity, disrupted sleep, and elevated stress—further impair immune responses. Objective: This review aims to examine and synthesize current scientific evidence on lifestyle modifications that can effectively enhance immune function during the winter season. The focus is on non-pharmacological interventions that are easily adoptable and evidence-based, including dietary practices, vitamin D supplementation, exercise routines, sleep hygiene, stress management, gut microbiota modulation, and traditional health practices. Methods: A comprehensive review of recent literature (2010–2024) was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses focusing on immunity, seasonality, and lifestyle interventions were included. Results: The review identifies several modifiable lifestyle factors with proven or promising immuno-enhancing effects. Vitamin D supplementation significantly reduces the risk of respiratory infections, particularly in deficient individuals. A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and trace elements supports the activity of various immune cells. Moderate exercise improves immunosurveillance and reduces inflammation. Adequate sleep and stress reduction techniques like mindfulness bolster both innate and adaptive immunity.

This appears to stem from a November 2024 claim by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT/Vyapar Mandal), stating that India's MSME count dropped from 6.25 crore in 2016 to 3.25 crore in 2024—a 48% decline attributed to GST implementation, economic pressures, and policy challenges. However, official government data from the Udyam Registration Portal (launched in 2020) contradicts this, showing steady growth to 6.44 crore registered MSMEs as of May 2025. Official closures are significantly lower, with ~75,082 MSMEs shuttered nationwide over the past five years (FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25), representing just 0.12% of total registrations. Pre-2020 data is less centralized, but estimates suggest additional closures (e.g., ~50,000 in Tamil Nadu alone in FY 2017-18 due to GST transition and demonetization).For Tamil Nadu specifically:● Total registered MSMEs: ~35 lakh (third-highest in India as of 2025).● Closures: ~50,000 in FY 2017-18 (18% decline). Recent data shows 7,894 closures up to December 2024 and 4,412 in FY 2024-25 alone.

This totals ~₹117.86 lakh crore.Step 2: MSME Share of GST Revenue● MSMEs contribute ~30% to India's GDP and ~45% to exports but a smaller share of GST due to lower turnovers and composition schemes (e.g., 1% flat rate for small units).● Proprietorships (mostly micro-MSMEs, 80% of taxpayers) contribute only ~13.3% of GST revenue. Top 22% of businesses pay 90% of GST, leaving ~10% for the bottom 78% (largely MSMEs).● Conservative estimate: MSMEs account for 15% of total GST (~₹17.68 lakh crore cumulatively).Step 3: Tax from Closed MSMEs (Estimate)Using official closures (~75,000 nationwide since 2020; ~1 lakh including pre-2020 estimates):● Proportion closed: ~0.15% of ~6 crore total MSMEs.● Estimated GST from closed MSMEs: 0.15% of ₹17.68 lakh crore = ~₹26,520 crore (₹26,500 crore approx.).● For Tamil Nadu (~60,000 closures; 1.7% of state's 35 lakh MSMEs): Proportionate share ~₹1,500-2,000 crore (assuming TN's GST share is ~6-7% of national total).If using the disputed 48% claim (3 crore closed nationally), the estimate would balloon to ~₹8.5 lakh crore—but this is unreliable given official registration growth.These are rough estimates assuming uniform contribution; actuals vary by sector/turnover.

This species is easily distinguished from other Depressaria species by its pale yellowish or ocher forewing color. However, the male genitalia of this species are similar to those of Depressaria depressana Fabricius, 1775 by sharing the shape of valva. This species can be distinguished from D. depressana by the following characteristics: the saccus is elongated but not so long (in D. depressana it is long and thin), and the phallus has a terminal process of the sclerotized tube on the ventral side with one or two lateral spines (in D. depressana, the phallus does not have a terminal process, though it has several aciculate cornuti). The female genitalia of this species can be distinguished from those of D. depressana by the ductus bursae swelling before antrum (in D. depressana, there is no swelling). Redescription. [Pale yellowish type.] Male (Fig. 5A). Forewing length 5.8–7.2 mm (n = 14), wingspan 11.8– 15.5 mm (n = 14). Head, Antennae, labial palpus, thorax, and legs pale yellow. Forewing upper side pale yellow, with light brown dot at end of cell. Forewing underside beige, basal area rather cream color. Hindwing upper side yellowish white, costal margins and veins pale yellow, fringe white to pale yellow. Hindwing underside pale yellow. Abdomen pale yellow. Female (Fig. 5B). Forewing length 4.8–8.0 mm (n = 42), wingspan 11.0– 17.5 mm, (n = 42). Similar to males, but forewing and hindwing color tend to be pale. [Ocher type.] Male (Fig. 5C). Forewing length 6.7–8.2 mm (n = 2), wingspan 14.4–16.3 mm (n = 2). Head beige. Antennae brown. Labial palpus beige with a dark brown ring near tip. Thorax beige with diffuse darker dot in middle. Legs ochre. Forewing upper side ochre, darker at basal area, dark brown dot at end of cell, terminal spots rather dark. Forewing underside dark gray. Hindwing upper side brownish gray, darker towards apex, costal margins and veins brown, fringe ochre. Hindwing underside gray. Abdomen ochre. Female (Fig. 5D). Forewing length 8.0– 8.8 mm (n = 3), wingspan 16.8–18.7 mm (n = 3).

This species is easily distinguished from other Depressaria species by its pale yellowish or ocher forewing color. However, the male genitalia of this species are similar to those of Depressaria depressana Fabricius, 1775 by sharing the shape of valva. This species can be distinguished from D. depressana by the following characteristics: the saccus is elongated but not so long (in D. depressana it is long and thin), and the phallus has a terminal process of the sclerotized tube on the ventral side with one or two lateral spines (in D. depressana, the phallus does not have a terminal process, though it has several aciculate cornuti). The female genitalia of this species can be distinguished from those of D. depressana by the ductus bursae swelling before antrum (in D. depressana, there is no swelling). Redescription. [Pale yellowish type.] Male (Fig. 5A). Forewing length 5.8–7.2 mm (n = 14), wingspan 11.8– 15.5 mm (n = 14). Head, Antennae, labial palpus, thorax, and legs pale yellow. Forewing upper side pale yellow, with light brown dot at end of cell. Forewing underside beige, basal area rather cream color. Hindwing upper side yellowish white, costal margins and veins pale yellow, fringe white to pale yellow. Hindwing underside pale yellow. Abdomen pale yellow. Female (Fig. 5B). Forewing length 4.8–8.0 mm (n = 42), wingspan 11.0– 17.5 mm, (n = 42). Similar to males, but forewing and hindwing color tend to be pale. [Ocher type.] Male (Fig. 5C). Forewing length 6.7–8.2 mm (n = 2), wingspan 14.4–16.3 mm (n = 2). Head beige. Antennae brown. Labial palpus beige with a dark brown ring near tip. Thorax beige with diffuse darker dot in middle. Legs ochre. Forewing upper side ochre, darker at basal area, dark brown dot at end of cell, terminal spots rather dark. Forewing underside dark gray. Hindwing upper side brownish gray, darker towards apex, costal margins and veins brown, fringe ochre. Hindwing underside gray. Abdomen ochre. Female (Fig. 5D). Forewing length 8.0– 8.8 mm (n = 3), wingspan 16.8–18.7 mm (n = 3).

Introduction Health behavior in culturally rich communities such as Myanmar, must be considered in ways that transcend applying universal health models or standardized public health approaches. As a cultural backdrop, culture doesn't function as a mere passive determinant of health; it acts as a determinant that shapes people's understanding of symptoms, assessment of treatment options, and engagement with health systems (Handtke et al., 2019; EuroMed Info, 2019). In Myanmar, where they adhere and understand the deep connections between religious beliefs, communal beliefs, and traditional knowledge systems, cultural determinants need to be included in health behavior models for health interventions to be efficacious. In rural and peri-urban contexts in Myanmar, for example, individuals may defer engaging with a formal health service because of being influenced by social constructions of illness as related to a spiritual cause or taking on circumstance associated with karmic actions in one's sob. This influences not only the individual's treatment choices, but also when they engage with the health care service, and how much they trust biomedical service providers to ameliorate their health.

With its increasing prevalence, there is a growing need for a nutraceutical or herbal medicine capable of effectively addressing multiple metabolic risk factors simultaneously. Objectives:1. Analyze the proximate and phytochemical profile of Garcinia cambogia.2. Assess the efficacy of different doses of Garcinia cambogia in managing metabolic syndrome using a rat model. 3. Evaluate the effects of Garcinia cambogia on the liver, pancreas, and kidneys in the rat model. Methodology: The study will be divided into two phases. In the first phase, preliminary tests will be conducted to determine the phytochemicals in Garcinia cambogia powder. The second phase will involve an in vivo study. 60 healthy male Wistar rats will be divided into five groups: NCG (Negative control group), PCG (Positive control group), G1 (Group 1), G2 (Group 2), and G3 (Group 3). G1, G2, and G3 will receive doses of 400, 800, and 1200 mg/kg, respectively, for three months. The rats will be weighed weekly, and fasting and random blood sugar levels will be monitored every 15 days.

The dataset can serve as a basis for Nordic level, as well as national level, conservation planning and implementation. Method: The WFP inventory for Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden was developed based on Nordic flora (Dyntaxa, 2024) which was matched with wild food plant data sources from each Nordic country (Bjarnadóttir and Hilmarsson, 2018; Ellena, 2012; Evira, 2016; Lundström, 1917; Plantelisten, 2024; Rautavaara, 1980a; Rautavaara, 1980b; Stryamets et al. 2015; Svanberg, 2012; Svanberg and Ægisson, 2012; Teixidor-Toneu, 2022) and from European level data (EU, 2023; EU, 2024; EuroFIR-NETTOX, 2007; Irving, 2009; THIE, 2023) resulting in the first WFP dataset for the region. The indigenous or naturalized taxa in at least one Nordic country having human food use were selected (SLU Artdatabanken, 2024; Elven et al, 2022; Kurtto et al, 2019; Hartvig et al. 2015; Wasowicz, 2020). Additional data includes national threat categories (Artsdatabanken, 2021; Hyvärinen et al, 2019; Wasowicz and Heiðmarsson, 2019; Moeslund et al. 2023; SLU Artdatabanken, 2020), invasive status in each country (Artsdatabanken, 2023; EU, 2022; Luke, 2024; Náttúrufræðistofnun, 2024; Strand et al, 2018) and toxicity (HUS, 2024). Results: The result is an inventory dataset of 606 Nordic WFP taxa. The list includes plants with all edible uses including herbal teas, food decorations and spices but not the ones having only medicinal use. References: Artsdatabanken (2021).

Sabbatia Briq. in Engler & Prantl, Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien, 4, 3a: 298 (Briquet 1895 -1897). TYPE SPECIES. — Satureja montana L. (designated by Doroszenko 1986). PERSIAN VERNACULAR NAMES. — This plant is known by local people as (S. khuzistanica in Khuzestan), Azbua (S. longiflora Boiss. & Hausskn. in Kermanshah), Ezgen and Ezghand (S. kermanica in Kerman), Oushan and Ourishan (S. bachtiarica Bunge in Bakhtiari), Maraza (S. bachtiarica in Kermanshah), Hazbeh (S. bachtiarica in Kordestan) and the common name Marzeh for S. hortensis. DISTRIBUTION. — N, NW, W, SW and SE of Iran. ECOLOGY AND PHYTOGEOGRAPHY. — The distribution pattern of most of Satureja species in Iran follows that of the Irano-Turanian floristic region. Exceptionally, S. isophylla existed in transitional area between the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian regions, and S. khuzistanica distributed on the rocky slopes of mesic areas between the Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Arabian regions. S. mutica is distributed in both the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian regions (Floristic regions followed Zohary’s classification in 1973). PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS. — Satureja is more closely related to the monotypic genus Gontscharovia (Doroszenko 1986; Bräuchler et al. 2010). The two genera can be distinguished by the acute nutlet apex in Gontscharovia opposed to an obtuse (rounded) apex in Satureja s.s. (Bräuchler et al. 2010). DESCRIPTION Suffruticose, rarely caespitose or fruticose, aromatic or non-aromatic, perennial or annual, sometimes with stout woody stock. stems erect, erect-procumbent or out-spreading, many-branched from base to above, covered with short retrorse or spreading, rarely antrorse hairs and sessile glands on young parts, rarely glabrous.

PERSIAN VERNACULAR NAMES. — This plant is known by local people as (S. khuzistanica in Khuzestan), Azbua (S. longiflora Boiss. & Hausskn. in Kermanshah), Ezgen and Ezghand (S. kermanica in Kerman), Oushan and Ourishan (S. bachtiarica Bunge in Bakhtiari), Maraza (S. bachtiarica in Kermanshah), Hazbeh (S. bachtiarica in Kordestan) and the common name Marzeh for S. hortensis. DISTRIBUTION. — N, NW, W, SW and SE of Iran. ECOLOGY AND PHYTOGEOGRAPHY. — The distribution pattern of most of Satureja species in Iran follows that of the Irano-Turanian floristic region. Exceptionally, S. isophylla existed in transitional area between the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian regions, and S. khuzistanica distributed on the rocky slopes of mesic areas between the Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Arabian regions. S. mutica is distributed in both the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian regions (Floristic regions followed Zohary’s classification in 1973). PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS. — Satureja is more closely related to the monotypic genus Gontscharovia (Doroszenko 1986; Bräuchler et al. 2010). The two genera can be distinguished by the acute nutlet apex in Gontscharovia opposed to an obtuse (rounded) apex in Satureja s.s. (Bräuchler et al. 2010).

The knowledge of herbal medicine has been accumulated for millennia by traditional healers and has been passed down from generation to generation. Phytotherapy has been used as the main therapy until the 18th century. Even today, between 40% and 80% of pharmaceuticals are phytochemicals or plant-derived and many of these have significantly altered or are still altering medical therapy. Most people in the world are or have been treated with phytochemicals or drugs derived from phytochemicals. Examples include antineoplastic agents (vinblastine, vincristine, etoposide, teniposide, paclitaxel, irinotecan, topotecan), antibiotics and antivirals (cephalosporins and oseltamivir), antiparasitics drugs (quinine and artemisinin), ICU drugs (morphine, neuromuscular blockers, ephedrine), cardiovascular drugs (digoxin, quinidine, atropine, reserpine), antidiabetics (metformin), and many others. Many of these agents are included in the WHO list of essential medicines. Plant-derived medicines have changed human history, contributing fundamentally to the survival and improved life expectancy of our species. Phytochemicals, derived from interactions between plants and the environment, are substances often created over millennia. If humans had not drawn on these substances for medical therapy, they would probably never have been able to produce such complex and effective substances in the treatment of disease. As knowledge of the healing properties of plants is present in traditional medicines, ancient manuscripts should be studied as potential sources of contemporary pharmacotherapy. Unfortunately, in recent years several trends have begun to threaten biodiversity and consequently also phytochemical resources. From this perspective, the \"One Health\" approach finds further justification and could also encourage the discovery of revolutionary new phytochemicals.","url":"https://doi.org/10.13133/2239-3129/18564","authors":["Claro, Angelo Emilio","Palanza, Clelia","Mazza, Marianna","Muti Schuenemann, Giovanna Elsa Ute","Rigoni, Marta","Pontecorvi, Alfredo","Janiri, Luigi","Pitocco, Dario","Muti, Paola"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.13133/2239-3129/18564","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.14590743","name":"Indonesia Herbal Medicine Market 2024 To 2033","source":"datacite","abstract":"Indonesia Herbal Medicine Market Size, Trends and Insights By Product Type (Herbal Supplements, Herbal Teas, Herbal Beauty and Personal Care Products, Herbal Medicines, Herbal Essential Oils, Others), By Application (Dietary Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Food and Beverages, Others), By Distribution Channel (Retail Pharmacies, Online Pharmacies, Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Specialty Stores, E-commerce Platforms, Others), and By Region - Industry Overview, Statistical Data, Competitive Analysis, Share, Outlook, and Forecast 2024–2033.

The realm of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) presents holistic solutions, featuring herbal solutions and mind-body practices that bolster standard medical treatment. Dietary strategies, particularly enteral nutrition, are pivotal, alongside educational initiatives that empower patients in health management. Psychological support addresses the mental health issues associated with CD, employing psychoeducation and therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to promote resilience. Support groups foster community and coping mechanisms. Holistic care combines these methodologies, prioritizing education, self-management, and individualized support to tackle the diverse impacts of CD. Steady investigation and innovation are key for enhancing therapeutic practices, uplifting patient results, and raising the life quality for those dealing with Crohn's disease.

The dataset can serve as a basis for Nordic level, as well as national level, conservation planning and implementation. Method: The WFP inventory for Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden was developed based on Nordic flora (Dyntaxa, 2024) which was matched with wild food plant data sources from each Nordic country (Bjarnadóttir and Hilmarsson, 2018; Ellena, 2012; Evira, 2016; Lundström, 1917; Plantelisten, 2024; Rautavaara, 1980a; Rautavaara, 1980b; Stryamets et al. 2015; Svanberg, 2012; Svanberg and Ægisson, 2012; Teixidor-Toneu, 2022) and from European level data (EU, 2023; EU, 2024; EuroFIR-NETTOX, 2007; Irving, 2009; THIE, 2023) resulting in the first WFP dataset for the region. The indigenous or naturalized taxa in at least one Nordic country having human food use were selected (SLU Artdatabanken, 2024; Elven et al, 2022; Kurtto et al, 2019; Hartvig et al. 2015; Wasowicz, 2020). Additional data includes national threat categories (Artsdatabanken, 2021; Hyvärinen et al, 2019; Wasowicz and Heiðmarsson, 2019; Moeslund et al. 2023; SLU Artdatabanken, 2020), invasive status in each country (Artsdatabanken, 2023; EU, 2022; Luke, 2024; Náttúrufræðistofnun, 2024; Strand et al, 2018) and toxicity (HUS, 2024). Results: The result is an inventory dataset of 606 Nordic WFP taxa. The list includes plants with all edible uses including herbal teas, food decorations and spices but not the ones having only medicinal use. References: Artsdatabanken (2021).

Homegarden plants, which are plants with specific functionalities that are either cultivated or consciously preserved within the homegarden, are the most critical elements of the homegarden and are capable of providing a multitude of products and services. Recognized as one of China’s biodiversity hotspots, the Wuling mountain area has long been inhabited by multiple ethnic groups, each of which has accumulated a wealth of traditional knowledge. This study focuses on the Tujia ethnic communities in Laifeng County, situated in the hinterland of the Wuling mountain area, with the primary objective of collecting, documenting, and organizing local homegarden plants, their functions, and the associated traditional knowledge, and exploring the factors influencing their composition and diversity. Methods From May 2023 to August 2024, field surveys were conducted in Laifeng County, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, China. Semi-structured interviews and participatory observation were used to gather information on homegarden plants with informed consent. To analyze and evaluate homegarden plants, we employed the relative frequency of citation (RFC) and Jaccard index (J) for quantitative analysis. Additionally, the factors influencing the composition of homegarden plants were investigated using redundancy analysis (RDA). Results This study documented a total of 414 species of homegarden plants from 114 families. These plants are primarily sourced from market purchases (158), spontaneous species (107), wild introductions (103), neighborhood sharing (59), and self-preservation (36). Homegarden plants serve multiple functions, including ornamental (201), medicinal (189), edible (165), traded (95), timber (34), forage (28), and other functions (11). There are 24 homegarden plants with an RFC greater than 0.5, indicating their high importance, including Allium fistulosum, Raphanus sativus, and Brassica rapa var. chinensis. The Jaccard index results suggest the highest degree of similarity between the homegarden plants in Geleche Town and Dahe Town. The RDA results established that knowledge of herbal medicine and homegarden area are two significant factors impacting the composition and diversity of homegarden plants, with the average age of the household resident population also exerting an influence. Conclusions This study reveals the composition, source diversity, and functional diversity of homegarden plants within the Laifeng Tujia ethnic community, along with the influencing factors. These homegarden plants play an integral role in sustaining the balance of the homegarden ecosystem and supporting the daily lives of local residents. The management of homegarden plants by the Laifeng Tujia ethnic community carries traditional agricultural knowledge and wisdom. Emphasis should be placed on bolstering the understanding, protection, and transmission of traditional knowledge and culture related to homegardens, which play a vital role in safeguarding local agricultural biodiversity and fostering sustainable development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7567264.v1","authors":["Hou, Shuwang","Yu, Mengfan","Yao, Zhen"],"tags":["Environmental Sciences not elsewhere classified","Ecology","FOS: Biological sciences","Sociology","FOS: Sociology","Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified","Plant Biology"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7567264.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7567264","name":"Ethnobotanical study on factors influencing plant composition and traditional knowledge in homegardens of Laifeng Tujia ethnic communities, the hinterland of the Wuling mountain area, central China","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background A homegarden is a conventional small-scale agricultural ecosystem dominated predominantly by humans.

To analyze and evaluate homegarden plants, we employed the relative frequency of citation (RFC) and Jaccard index (J) for quantitative analysis. Additionally, the factors influencing the composition of homegarden plants were investigated using redundancy analysis (RDA). Results This study documented a total of 414 species of homegarden plants from 114 families. These plants are primarily sourced from market purchases (158), spontaneous species (107), wild introductions (103), neighborhood sharing (59), and self-preservation (36). Homegarden plants serve multiple functions, including ornamental (201), medicinal (189), edible (165), traded (95), timber (34), forage (28), and other functions (11). There are 24 homegarden plants with an RFC greater than 0.5, indicating their high importance, including Allium fistulosum, Raphanus sativus, and Brassica rapa var. chinensis. The Jaccard index results suggest the highest degree of similarity between the homegarden plants in Geleche Town and Dahe Town. The RDA results established that knowledge of herbal medicine and homegarden area are two significant factors impacting the composition and diversity of homegarden plants, with the average age of the household resident population also exerting an influence. Conclusions This study reveals the composition, source diversity, and functional diversity of homegarden plants within the Laifeng Tujia ethnic community, along with the influencing factors. These homegarden plants play an integral role in sustaining the balance of the homegarden ecosystem and supporting the daily lives of local residents. The management of homegarden plants by the Laifeng Tujia ethnic community carries traditional agricultural knowledge and wisdom. Emphasis should be placed on bolstering the understanding, protection, and transmission of traditional knowledge and culture related to homegardens, which play a vital role in safeguarding local agricultural biodiversity and fostering sustainable development.","url":"https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7567264","authors":["Hou, Shuwang","Yu, Mengfan","Yao, Zhen"],"tags":["Environmental Sciences not elsewhere classified","Ecology","FOS: Biological sciences","Sociology","FOS: Sociology","Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified","Plant Biology"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7567264","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.48347/imist.prsm/ajmap-v10i1.47237","name":"Comparison of the effectiveness of traditional medicine (Herbal Drinks) in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients in indonesia: A systematic review","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Hypertension, the leading global cause of death, continues to rise yearly, with an estimated 1.5 billion affected by 2025. Untreated hypertension poses serious health risks, necessitating effective treatment. Herbal remedies are a potential avenue due to their perceived safety, yet literature on their effectiveness in lowering blood pressure is limited. Objective: To determine the more effective traditional medicine in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients based on evidence-based research. Method: This research utilized the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis) approach with a systematic review employing PICO(Problem, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome). The databases employed were Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Semantic Scholar, with keywords including Hypertension, Traditional Medicine, and Blood Pressure. The inclusion criteria encompassed national and international articles in English, full-text original research with open access from 2019 to 2024, focusing on interventions involving the use of traditional medicine (in processed forms). Exclusion criteria included literature review or meta-analysis articles and those outside the topic of massage therapy for lowering blood pressure. Results : The intervention techniques provided varied across the analyzed articles; however, collectively, they were able to reduce blood pressure when administered 1-2 times daily for 3-14 days. Giving of pegagan leaves was considered the most effective, as post-intervention, blood pressure experienced a reduction of 38.63 mmHg. Conclusion: The intervention of using herbal plants is capable of reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The intervention group experienced a significantly greater reduction in blood pressure compared to the control group.","url":"https://doi.org/10.48347/imist.prsm/ajmap-v10i1.47237","authors":["Felis, Zuhariah Felis","Triyanto, Endang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.48347/imist.prsm/ajmap-v10i1.47237","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.611Z"},{"id":"doi:10.60787/nmj-v65i3-402","name":"Prevalence and Predictors for use of Herbal medicine in the treatment of Infertility in a secondary Health facility in South-South Nigeria","source":"datacite","abstract":"Background: Infertility is one of the major medical problems seen in the Gynaecology clinic. Herbal medicine (HM) has become one the of treatment options used to circumvent infertility problems. This study aims to explore the prevalence and predictors for HM use in the management of infertility in our region. Methodology: The method used was a cross-sectional study of 117 women attending the infertility clinic at Central Hospital Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria. The interviewer administered a questionnaire comprised of socio-demographic characteristics, infertility-related aspects and information on herbal medicine usage. The main outcome measure was the Prevalence of HM use for infertility treatment and the possible predictors. Analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Results: The mean age of participants was 34.1 with a standard deviation of 6.66 years. The minimum age of participants was 23 years and while maximum age was 48 years. The prevalence of HM use was 79.9%. The factors that were significantly associated with the use of HM were marital status (p 0.033), history of primary infertility (0.026) and having used HM for the management of other ailments (0.000). Women who were married and having fertility issues were more likely to seek alternative methods like the use of HM. Conclusion: The prevalence of use of HM among participants attending the fertility clinic was high at 79.9%. We recommend that health professionals should enquire about the use of HM as this may help in educating the patients about the health risks of using HM. There is a need to explore the potential benefits and risks of HM use.","url":"https://doi.org/10.60787/nmj-v65i3-402","authors":["Maduka, Ngozi Roy","Okubor, Onyekachukwu Paul"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.60787/nmj-v65i3-402","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.433Z"},{"id":"doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7457868.v1","name":"Effectiveness and safety of Arecae Semen compounds for patients with depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"datacite","abstract":"Abstract Background Arecae Semen is a traditional herbal medicine widely used in the medical service and food industry, but in recent years, the carcinogenesis of edible Arecae Semen chewing has aroused comprehensive attention, therefore it is necessary to evaluate its medicinal properties.

antiviral medicines for potential pandemic viruses: A horizon scan","source":"preprints","abstract":"Background Viruses such as Ebola, Marburg, influenza, mpox, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 pose a significant risk for future pandemics. Developing novel antiviral medicines can be time-consuming and resource intensive. Repurposing existing medicines with antiviral activity offers a faster, cost-effective strategy to expand treatment options during public health emergencies. This scan aimed to identify and synthesise recent evidence on repurposed antiviral medicines under investigation for these viruses. Method A horizon scanning approach was employed, starting with a targeted search in Embase, followed by a systematic search of ClinicalTrials.gov to capture the developmental stages of the technologies. Eligible technologies included UK- or EU-licensed medicines repurposed as antiviral therapies for the viruses of interest. Vaccines, unlicensed medicines, and already approved treatments for the targeted viruses were excluded. Results A total of 196 repurposed technologies targeting the viruses were identified from published literature, and the expanded search on the clinical trials registry yielded 58 technologies in active clinical development. Interventional clinical trial activity was limited to influenza and COVID-19, with 29 technologies for COVID-19 and two for influenza advancing to phase III evaluation. For other viruses, proposed antiviral candidates were identified in the literature but had not progressed into clinical development. Commonly investigated pharmacological classes included direct-acting antivirals, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immunomodulators, and anti-inflammatory agents. Conclusion Repurposing antiviral medicines represents a pragmatic strategy for rapid therapeutic deployment against emerging viral threats. Collaboration among researchers, policymakers, research funders, and regulatory bodies will be essential to improve pandemic preparedness and support repurposing efforts in emergency situations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.09.25335403","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.09.09.25335403","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.170669956.63010878/v1","name":"Medication-related disputes in Beijing China from 2013 to 2019","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.170669956.63010878/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.22541/au.170669956.63010878/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22541/au.170668271.19522801/v1","name":"Antiproliferative, Antioxidant and Antiplasmodial activities of the root bark of Adenodolichos paniculatus (Hua) Hutch (Fabaceae).","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22541/au.170668271.19522801/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.22541/au.170668271.19522801/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202403.1193.v1","name":"Knowledge, Perceptions, and Experiences of Traditional Health Practitioners about Managing Female Urogenital Schistosomiasis: The Case of ILembe District, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202403.1193.v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.20944/preprints202403.1193.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-4263276/v1","name":"Lippia thymoides essential oils activity against Candida species from HIV+ individual oral lesions","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4263276/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4263276/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6546740/v1","name":"Prevalence, Safety Evidence, and Determinants of Medicine Use during Breastfeeding among Women in Kampala, Uganda","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6546740/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6546740/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-9370107/v1","name":"Antibiotic Use Across One Health Sectors in Uganda: Temporal Alignment Between Antibiotic Introduction and Policy Guidance: A Scoping Review and Meta-Analysis","source":"preprints","abstract":"Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a major global health threat, driven by antibiotic use across human, animal, and environmental sectors. In Uganda, despite a National Action Plan and sector‑specific policies, inappropriate antibiotic use persists through empiric prescribing, over‑the‑counter access, and non‑therapeutic use in livestock production. These patterns reflect longstanding structural and historical legacies rooted in colonial medical and veterinary systems. This review traces the evolution of antibiotic use and stewardship alongside corresponding policy developments in Uganda and applies meta‑analysis to estimate historical antibiotic use in human and animal health. Objectives The objectives of the scoping review were (i) To determine the most commonly used antibiotics in different One Health sectors (human, animal, and environmental) in Uganda and (ii) To determine temporal alignment between antibiotic introduction and policies and guidelines on antibiotic use in Uganda. For the meta-analysis we aimed to determine the prevalence of antibiotic use in the different One Health sectors in Uganda. Methods We conducted a scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported according to PRISMA-ScR, based on a preregistered protocol on the Open Science Framework. Eligibility criteria included studies and documents on antibiotic use in Uganda across One Health sectors, covering antibiotic use, introduction timelines, and AMR policies, with no restriction on study design. Sources of evidence comprised peer-reviewed literature from PubMed and Web of Science, institutional repositories, and government and international agency documents. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data using a Google Sheets form. Evidence was synthesised descriptively and narratively. Results Twenty two studies met the inclusion criteria, covering antibiotic use in human and animal sectors. Analysis of historical timelines revealed four stewardship phases; pre‑antibiotic, pre‑stewardship, stewardship, and post‑stewardship, each characterised by distinct trends in antibiotic use, policy engagement, and availability of evidence. Human antibiotic consumption was consistently dominated by critically important classes, including cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides. Despite incremental policy efforts, stewardship and regulatory frameworks have lagged behind use over the past six decades, with a notable shift only after 2015 following the adoption of AWaRe‑aligned national policies. In the animal sector, tetracyclines and folate‑pathway inhibitors accounted for most reported use but use in animals represented only 6% of total antibiotic consumption, reflecting historic fundamental sectoral differences in prescribing practices. It is noteworthy that the overlap in classes used in both sectors has grown. Our pooled estimates reveal substantial heterogeneity, suggesting fragmentation of information typical in systems with weak surveillance. Conclusion Antimicrobial use in Uganda remains high, particularly within the human health sector, likely reflecting persistent misalignment between policy frameworks and implementation. Although this gap has begun to narrow since 2016, sustaining and expanding these gains will require strengthened surveillance systems, enforceable and well-resourced stewardship mechanisms, and coherent One Health governance structures that can translate policy commitments into measurable, sustained reductions in antimicrobial use.","url":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-9370107/v1","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9370107/v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2025.02.05.25321713","name":"A protocol for a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis investigating the relationship between Pfkelch13 mutations and response to artemisinin-based treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria","source":"preprints","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.05.25321713","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.74,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.1101/2025.02.05.25321713","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.434Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.443Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1101/2024.11.28.24317957","name":"“I think it would be better for those of us who have the disease not to be ashamed”.

They contribute to the very high burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The awareness, diagnosis, treatment, and control of these conditions are poor and access to quality care for hypertension and diabetes remains limited, particularly in rural areas. Strengthening primary health care systems for NCD care delivery is critical to addressing this rising burden. Digital health interventions for NCD care have shown promising results in pilot studies, but reliable evidence of their benefits remains elusive. Little is known about how digital technology can be utilized to support decentralized primary care to improve accessibility and bridge the gaps in the care continuum in LMICs. In this study, we aim to generate data on the effectiveness and the cost-effectiveness of multicomponent decentralized primary care on hypertension and diabetes care continuum compared with usual care and to digital health intervention alone in rural Bangladesh, and to evaluate factors influence the implementation of the interventions. Methods We will implement a type 2 effectiveness-implementation hybrid with a dual focus on testing of effectiveness of a digital technology supported decentralized primary care model and implementation strategies. A three-arm mixed-methods quasi-experimental design will be used to evaluate implementation fidelity, processes, and effectiveness outcomes. The study will be implemented in three subdistricts of Dinajpur district, Rangpur division in northern Bangladesh. Multicomponent, decentralized primary care model will include components of healthcare provider training, digital health, decentralization with task shifting, and community-based care. The key interventions in the multicomponent model comprise expanding the scope of screening, routine monitoring, and dispensing of medication refills from a doctor-managed subdistrict level NCD clinic to nonphysician health worker managed village level community clinics, supported by a digital platform ( Simple app ) for electronic health records, point-of-care support, referrals when indicated, and routine patient follow-up. The digital health only model includes training and support in subdistrict NCD clinic for incorporating the Simple app . The primary endpoint of the study is changes in the treatment success rates for hypertension and diabetes. Discussion Our study is among the first to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation strategy of a decentralized primary care model for integrated hypertension and diabetes management in a LMIC. Using repeated cross-sectional community-based surveys combined with facility-based longitudinal data, our study will provide rich data on clinical and behavioral outcomes, various measures across the care continuum, and implementation processes, including costs. Implementation fidelity and process evaluation will be guided by the UK Medical Research Council guideline on process evaluation of complex intervention, and the WHO’s Noncommunicable Disease Facility-Based Monitoring Guidance, and the RE-AIM framework. We will document the factors that may explain how the interventions influence hypertension and diabetes management and explore barriers and facilitators to delivering and sustaining interventions. The results will have important implications for policy making and programmatic efforts for hypertension and diabetes prevention and management. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT06258473.

Polysaccharides are major components of decoction. Recent studies reported that polysaccharides possess multiple pharmacological activities. However, the mechanism by which oral Chinese herbal polysaccharides play vital roles in the body remains uncertain. This review discussed the polysaccharides in Chinese herbal decoctions and their effects, direct and indirect. The direct impact of polysaccharides includes being absorbed into the body immunity regulation through Peyer’s patches; electrostatic adsorption, hydrophobic interaction, and glycoprotein receptors-induced antibacterial effects; prebiotic functions; gut microbiota structural regulation; and increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria. The indirect effects of the polysaccharides in Chinese herbal decoctions include phytochemical toxicity reduction and activity enhancement. Finally, their clinical and research significance is summarized and future research directions are discussed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hm9.0000000000000147","authors":["Wenfeng Xu","Jing Zhao","Shaoping Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-18T21:00:37Z","doi":"10.1097/hm9.0000000000000147","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101027","name":"Exploring the therapeutic potential of Polygonum aviculare L. compounds against Dengue virus through Computational methods","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101027","authors":["Zainab Irfan","Sumaiya Tariq","Muhammad Farhan Sarwar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-13T19:19:19Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101013","name":"Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Analysis Reveal the Therapeutic Potential of Artemisia annua L. in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101013","authors":["Wenqin Huang","Jinhe Xiong"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-09T04:11:44Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i6a.1047","name":"Herbal medicine in the treatment of chronic diseases: A focus on diabetes and hypertension","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i6a.1047","authors":["Anna Müller","Lukas Schneider"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11T08:38:39Z","doi":"10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i6a.1047","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101020","name":"Pharmacological Screening of Four Medicinal Lamiaceae Plants, Two of Which Are Endemic to Türkiye: Apoptotic and Cytotoxic Characteristics","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101020","authors":["Arzu KASKA","Mücahit SEÇME"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-23T12:09:56Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101020","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101059","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine for post-infectious cough compared to placebo: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101059","authors":["Xinyi Zhang","Xin Jin","Jianning Guo","Hongchun Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T05:11:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101059","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101060","name":"Ayurvedic management of adverse effects of antitubercular treatment: a case report","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101060","authors":["Amit Nakanekar","Yogita Pole","Payal Rathod","Shivray Amrit Patil","Manjiri Palnitkar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-23T05:11:52Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.101060","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/ed.book.3078","name":"Modern Trends in Herbal Medicine (Volume - 2)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/ed.book.3078","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-31T04:49:47Z","doi":"10.22271/ed.book.3078","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/ed.book.3578","name":"Modern Trends in Herbal Medicine (Volume - 3)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/ed.book.3578","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-16T02:06:42Z","doi":"10.22271/ed.book.3578","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/hm9.0000000000000153","name":"The interactions between gut microbiota and Chinese herbal medicine in colorectal cancer","source":"crossref","abstract":"Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), with a range of pharmacological and molecular targets, has unique advantages in the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, its clinical application remains limited owing to undetermined anti-CRC mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that gut microbes mediate the intestinal barrier, metabolism, and immunity, which, in turn, affect CRC initiation, progression, and CHM therapy. Here, we summarize the mechanisms and clinical applications of the gut microbiota involved in CRC, together with the latest studies of CHM in CRC therapy and its anti-tumor molecular basis from the gut microbiota perspective. This review highlights the gut microbiota as a “bridge” to clarify the scientific of CHM in treating CRC. More efforts should be focused on how the gut microbiome interacts with CHM to elucidate the mechanism of action of CHM and provide a more applicable basis for CHM- and microbiota-related therapies for the treatment of CRC.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hm9.0000000000000153","authors":["Xinxin Hou","Xinyi Li","Wanqing Chen","Weikang Zhu","Haidong Guo","Ling Zhao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-31T19:08:35Z","doi":"10.1097/hm9.0000000000000153","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100990","name":"In-vitro microbicidal activity of Ganoderma lucidum aqueous extract against selected pathogenic bacteria and yeast","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100990","authors":["MacDonald Idu","Susan Omo Okojie","Benjamin Ogunma Gabriel"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-01-05T15:09:08Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2025.100990","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.545Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100980","name":"Invigorating the antiviral arsenal: family Lamiaceae as a promising treasure-trove of antiviral compounds","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100980","authors":["Pratibha Mishra","Saima Sohrab","Vijay Tripathi","Sanjay K.

Clinical studies using multi-herb prescriptions, medicinal diets, or Chinese herbal iontophoresis were included, and study designs, participants, interventions, and outcomes were analyzed.Results: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Herbal treatments, particularly prescriptions targeting spleen–stomach deficiency, improved gastrointestinal symptoms, hypoglycemia-related signs, and quality of life. Randomized trials showed significant superiority over control treatments, and observational studies consistently supported symptom improvement.Reported adverse events were minimal.Conclusion: Complex herbal therapies may serve as beneficial adjunctive treatments for dumping syndrome. Further large-scale clinical trials and standardized outcome measures are required to strengthen the evidence.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22246/jikm.2025.46.6.1429","authors":["Ji-hu Moon","Min-kyu Kim","Hyun-seob Park","Won-ill Kim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-21T08:18:47Z","doi":"10.22246/jikm.2025.46.6.1429","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/ph19081257","name":"Preserved Linear Growth in Overweight or Obese Children Treated with Soagambi-Tang: A Real-World Clinical Study with Computational Analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ph19081257","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3390/ph19081257","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jaim.2026.101355","name":"Global regulatory and policy perspectives on herbal medicines: Outcomes and policy implications from the WHO-IRCH workshop 2025.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaim.2026.101355","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jaim.2026.101355","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/jcma.0000000000001404","name":"Interactions between cytochrome P450 enzymes and traditional Chinese herbs: A comprehensive review.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/jcma.0000000000001404","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1097/jcma.0000000000001404","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/s00393-026-01840-2","name":"[Recommendations of the German Society for Rheumatology committee for complementary treatment and nutrition on phytotherapy : Supplement on the use of selected phytotherapeutic agents and herbal preparations in rheumatology: extension to include 13 medicinal plants].","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00393-026-01840-2","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s00393-026-01840-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.semradonc.2026.151035","name":"Herbal Products and Dietary Supplements in Radiation Oncology: Evidence, Safety, and Practical Patient Counseling.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semradonc.2026.151035","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.semradonc.2026.151035","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.546Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2026.1904841","name":"Editorial: Bridging traditional knowledge and modern biomedical innovation (reviews in ethnopharmacology: 2025).","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2026.1904841","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1904841","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2025-104459","name":"Use of medicinal herbs in an Iranian population: cross-sectional findings from the Fasa PERSIAN Cohort Study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2025-104459","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1136/bmjopen-2025-104459","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.15537/1658-3175.8801","name":"Integrating Traditional and Complementary Medicine into Saudi Primary Care: <i>A Literature Review in Light of the WHO 2025-2034 Strategy</i>.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely practiced in Saudi Arabia, particularly for health promotion and chronic diseases management. Despite cultural acceptance and high utilization, CAM remains largely unintegrated within the formal healthcare system, particularly in primary care settings. The newly adopted World Health Organization (WHO) Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) Strategy 2025-2034 offers a global framework for evidence-based, culturally appropriate integration of TCIM into national systems. This review evaluates the status of CAM in Saudi Arabia in light of strategic objectives outlined in the WHO Strategy: building the evidence base, ensuring quality and safety, integrating into health systems, and promoting cross-sectoral engagement. While regulatory foundations have been established through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), challenges persist in clinical integration, research, and training. Aligning CAM with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 health reforms-particularly through primary care-presents a timely opportunity for strategic integration to enhance patients-centered care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.15537/1658-3175.8801","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.15537/1658-3175.8801","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121904","name":"Herbal pairs containing Paeoniae Radix Alba: A review of pharmacological activities, clinical applications, and data mining analysis of compatibility patterns.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2026.121904","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.121904","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.152339","name":"Enzymatic properties of Achatina fulica enzyme GH5-2339 and its application in the preparation of Bletilla striata oligosaccharides.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.152339","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2026.152339","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5152/tjg.2026.26361","name":"Common Causes of Drug-Induced Liver Injury in 2025.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5152/tjg.2026.26361","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5152/tjg.2026.26361","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2026.03.010","name":"Clinical characteristics of adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes and Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies: a single-center experience in China from 2011 to 2023.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2026.03.010","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2026.03.010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.gastha.2026.101040","name":"Comparative Efficacy of Herbal Products on Metabolic Parameters in Metabolic-Dysfunction Associated Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastha.2026.101040","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.gastha.2026.101040","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.jep.2026.121756","name":"Corrigendum to \"Investigation of anti-inflammatory effect of essential oil extracted from Achillea alpina L. through multi-omics analysis in zebrafish tail fin amputation model\" [J.

Traditional medical texts describe AF as \"the older, the better,\" implying that aging moderates its medicinal properties and enhances efficacy, although the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, dynamic changes in volatile and nonvolatile components during AF aging were investigated using long-term natural aging and accelerated aging models, involving raw AF and four processed forms. Compositional variations across aging stages were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electronic nose analysis, and multivariate chemometrics. During long-term aging, flavonoid glycosides such as naringin gradually decreased and stabilized, whereas small-molecule flavonoids and polymethoxyflavonoids increased, likely due to microbial transformation. Compared with raw AF, processed products better preserved key active constituents during aging, indicating improved quality stability. Electronic nose results showed an overall decline in volatile components, particularly hydrocarbons such as D-limonene, supporting the traditional concept that aging reduces \"dryness.\" However, high-temperature processing accelerated volatile loss, and accelerated aging caused more drastic compositional changes, potentially compromising quality. Overall, this study clarifies the chemical basis of the \"the older, the better\" concept of AF and provides scientific support for quality evaluation and aging process optimization.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bmc.70462","authors":["Yusuf A","Yin Y","Zhao X","Ma Y","Shen B","Gao J","Liu Y","Ren X","Fu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/bmc.70462","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09246479261471793","name":"Heavy metal contamination in pharmaceuticals: A narrative review of prevalence, health risks, and regulatory gaps in Nigeria.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09246479261471793","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1177/09246479261471793","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1093/eurpub/ckag150","name":"Regulating practice at the margins: Türkiye's sequential policy response to unlicensed traditional, complementary, and independent health service provision, 2025-26.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/ckag150","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1093/eurpub/ckag150","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.imr.2026.101357","name":"Clinical evidence on integrated Chinese-Western medicine for perimenopausal syndrome.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imr.2026.101357","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.imr.2026.101357","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fmed.2026.1860437","name":"Effects of different complementary therapies on chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2026.1860437","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fmed.2026.1860437","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.7759/cureus.109764","name":"Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)-Associated Liver Injury: A Scoping Review of Clinical Characteristics and Safety Considerations.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.109764","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.7759/cureus.109764","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/aam.aam_82_26","name":"Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential and Safety of Terminalia arjuna in Heart Failure Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/aam.aam_82_26","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.4103/aam.aam_82_26","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/pca.70079","name":"Rapid Identification of the Quality of Eucommiae Cortex During the Whole Process of Salt Processing Based on Chromaticity and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pca.70079","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1002/pca.70079","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.imr.2026.101358","name":"Clinical evidence on integrated Chinese-Western medicine for stroke rehabilitation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imr.2026.101358","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.imr.2026.101358","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/md.0000000000047974","name":"Use of herbal and supplement products for weight loss among Jordanians: A cross-sectional study.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"There is limited evidence about the safety and efficacy of herbal products as there are no guidelines to regulate their use. This study aims to examine the use of herbal and supplement products for weight loss among the Jordanian general public. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administrated questionnaire for the duration between April 7, 2025 and June 1, 2025. The questionnaire was developed based an extensive literature review in the area of the use of herbal and supplement products for weight loss. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of using herbal products/supplements used for the management of body weight. A total of 1125 participants were involved in this study. Around half of the study participants (49.9%) reported that they have you tried to reduce your weight in the past 12 months. The most commonly reported herbal products/supplements used for the management of your body weight were green tea, ginger, and cinnamon with 53.2%, 31.2%, and 29.9%, respectively. More than half of the study participants (55.3%) reported that they belief that the use of herbal products/supplements for the management of body weight is effective. The most commonly reported side effects were GIT disturbances (41.6%) and headache (20.2%). More than half of them (58.5%) reported that they are safer options, 27.6% reported that they might have side effects, and 22.0% of them reported that they might be allergic. Older participants (aged 31–35 years), females, those who are married, those who are working outside the healthcare sector, and those who have comorbidities are more likely to use herbal products/supplements used for the management of body weight compared to others ( P ≤.05). The findings of this research showed that many individuals utilize these products after failing to lose weight with lifestyle changes, drugs, or surgery, or because they lack commitment. Due to their low cost, many people utilize these supplements and have long-held views about their safety and health benefits. At the same time, it is important to raise awareness of their use and proper doses to avoid health risks, as many have used them incorrectly.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000047974","authors":["Kanar Sweiss","Abdallah Y.

Its principal alkaloid derivative, Dendrobine (Den), has a variety of pharmacological activities, although its pharmacokinetics have not been fully elucidated. Here, we established and validated an LC-MS/MS technique and a rat model system to investigate the oral absorption and tissue distribution of Den. The assay demonstrated linearity over the 1-2000 ng/mL concentration range with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.99. Mean recovery values were 84.22%-106.15%, whereas relative standard deviations of matrix effects were 3.02%-10.53%. The precision values both within and between days were below 15%, with accuracies of 88.34% to 113.33%. Following intravenous administration of Den (5 mg/kg), plasma concentrations declined rapidly, yielding an average elimination half-life of 3.89 h. Oral administration at 40 mg/kg produced a similar rapid decline, with an average half-life of 3.72 h. Extensive first-pass metabolism contributed to the low (13%) oral bioavailability of this compound. Den distributed rapidly and broadly to tissues, with the highest accumulation in the liver, and was swiftly eliminated following intraperitoneal administration (40 mg/kg). This LC-MS/MS strategy provides a robust, sensitive, and reproducible platform for quantifying Den in biological matrices, supporting future pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic investigations.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bmc.70467","authors":["Cheng L","Zhang Y","Zhang G","Song W","Chen Y","Liu H","Wu Z","Li D","Xuan Z","Wang

QiangGuYin (QGY), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating PMOP progression. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which QGY modulates osteoclast-derived exosome-mediated inhibition of osteogenesis. Exosomes were isolated from osteoclasts treated with QGY-containing serum or control serum. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were used to evaluate osteogenic differentiation by Western blotting, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, and Alizarin Red S staining. And qRT-PCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were conducted to detect the expression of miR-27b-3p, DKK2 and the activation level of β-catenin pathway. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to evaluate relationships among exosomal miR-27b-3p, DKK2, β-catenin, and bone microarchitecture parameters. Osteoclast-derived exosomes significantly inhibited osteogenic differentiation, an effect reversed by QGY-containing serum. QGY-containing serum increased the abundance of miR-27b-3p in osteoclast-derived exosomes. MiR-27b-3p inhibitor abolished the protective effects of QGY. DKK2 was identified as a direct target of miR-27b-3p and was upregulated by osteoclast-derived exosomes but suppressed by QGY-containing serum. DKK2 overexpression blocked QGY-containing serum-mediated rescue of osteogenic differentiation and β-catenin pathway. In PMOP rats, QGY increased serum exosomal miR-27b-3p levels, suppressed DKK2 expression and enhanced β-catenin level in femoral tissues. Significant correlations were observed among exosomal miR-27b-3p, DKK2, β-catenin and bone quality indices. QGY-containing serum alleviates osteoclast-derived exosome-induced osteogenic differentiation inhibition via the miR-27b-3p/DKK2/β-catenin signaling, providing a mechanistic basis for the clinical application of QGY in PMOP treatment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10735-026-10793-4","authors":["Tang B","Hu S","Yuan Y","Li J","Huang X","Zhou H","Huang Z","Li W","Ye B","Liu K","Mao Y","Shi X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s10735-026-10793-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.explore.2026.103422","name":"Efficacy of topical herbal oils for knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic joint disease commonly observed in middle-aged and older individuals, significantly impacting their quality of life.

dementia (VaD) is driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and neuroinflammation, yet effective interventions capable of acting on multiple pathological processes remain limited. Danzhu Fuyuan Granules (DFG) has been used clinically for cognitive impairment, but its therapeutic mechanisms remain poorly elaborated. Bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS)-induced VaD was validated by behavioral evaluation, with cerebral blood flow (CBF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and fractional anisotropy (FA) assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuronal and white matter damage examined by histological staining. Serum constituents of DFG were identified using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS, and potential therapeutic mechanisms were predicted through network pharmacology. RT-PCR, molecular docking, western blotting (WB), and ELISA were used to identify the potential targets. DFG significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment in mice with VaD. MRI showed restored CBF and enhanced ReHo, consistent with histological evidence that DFG attenuated neuronal loss and white-matter damage. Forty serum constituents and 54 putative targets were identified, with 10 core proteins highlighted by network analysis. RT-PCR validated 22 genes linked to angiogenesis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Molecular docking suggested strong binding of key constituents to hub targets such as KDR and SRC. DFG also restored VEGF family expression and suppressed inflammatory mediators. DFG could improve cognitive function and attenuate neuronal loss and white matter lesions in VaD, potentially by influencing VEGF-related blood flow regulation and anti-inflammation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11011-026-01844-6","authors":["Duan Y","Zhu DW","Liu Q","Li XY","Zhou XT","Hu JQ","Liu AJ"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1007/s11011-026-01844-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33620/fc.2173-9218.2026.20","name":"Design of a Pharmaceutical Protocol for the Evaluation of Phytotherapeutic Products.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33620/fc.2173-9218.2026.20","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.33620/fc.2173-9218.2026.20","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/fphar.2026.1693378","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese classic prescriptions combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a Bayesian network meta-analysis.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2026.1693378","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3389/fphar.2026.1693378","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3399/bjgp.2026.0055","name":"Non-antibiotic interventions to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in women: overview of systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp.2026.0055","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.3399/bjgp.2026.0055","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1080/15569527.2026.2635425","name":"Efficacy of shortwave radiofrequency-assisted delivery of Quhong Zhiyang ointment in the treatment of facial seborrheic dermatitis: a retrospective study of 72 patients.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15569527.2026.2635425","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1080/15569527.2026.2635425","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.foodchem.2026.148345","name":"Visible light - driven antibacterial packaging based on whey protein isolate amyloid fibrils for food preservation.","source":"europepmc","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2026.148345","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.8,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.1016/j.foodchem.2026.148345","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.547Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/bmc.70455","name":"Mechanism of Qianlong Shutong Formula in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Regulating Metabolism and Protein Function.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"To investigate the molecular mechanism of Qianlong Shutong formula (QLSTF) in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through the regulation of metabolism and protein function.

Herbal medicines are an integral part of traditional healthcare in Nigeria and the source of livelihood for local herbal entrepreneurs and herbal medicine sellers. However, availability and accessibility of medicinal plant resources may decrease due to climatic change, such as increased temperatures, unpredictable precipitation, extended droughts and flooding. The study explores the link between climate change and the decline of medicinal plants in Nigeria and its impact on local entrepreneurs and sales of medicinal plants by the year 2025. The study is qualitative in nature and uses secondary data obtained from literature from scholarly publications, government publications, environmental assessment and other related studies on medicinal plants, climate change and herbal medicine markets in Nigeria. Changes in the availability of medicinal plants, the patterns of sourcing, operational costs, market prices, sales and livelihood conditions of local herbal entrepreneurs are analysed.

Herbal medicines are an integral part of traditional healthcare in Nigeria and the source of livelihood for local herbal entrepreneurs and herbal medicine sellers. However, availability and accessibility of medicinal plant resources may decrease due to climatic change, such as increased temperatures, unpredictable precipitation, extended droughts and flooding. The study explores the link between climate change and the decline of medicinal plants in Nigeria and its impact on local entrepreneurs and sales of medicinal plants by the year 2025. The study is qualitative in nature and uses secondary data obtained from literature from scholarly publications, government publications, environmental assessment and other related studies on medicinal plants, climate change and herbal medicine markets in Nigeria. Changes in the availability of medicinal plants, the patterns of sourcing, operational costs, market prices, sales and livelihood conditions of local herbal entrepreneurs are analysed. The study suggests that climate change environmental changes with deforestation and land-use change coupled with unsustainable harvesting practices have created pressure on medicinal plant resources and some emerging challenges for the herbal traders. Reduced plant availability can lead to higher procurement prices, lower product variety, disruptions in supply chains and impact sales and revenue.

All clinical decisions should be made by a licensed healthcare professional ABSTRACT Background: Healthcare misinformation and preventable adverse drug events in underserved communities erode trust in institutions. When patients are harmed by undetected herb-drug interactions, confidence in both traditional and modern healthcare systems is damaged Objective: To develop UnaniSafe, a free, multilingual, offline-capable digital tool to bridge Unani/Hakeemi practice with evidence-based clinical pharmacology Methods: UnaniSafe was built using Base44 AI-powered no-code app builder. Evidence was sourced from PubMed, WHO Herbal Monographs, NCCIH, and EMA Herbal Monographs. 30 Unani medicine profiles were compiled with clinically documented herb-drug interactions, graded as Mild, Moderate, or Severe. The platform includes 8 modules: Medicine Database, Interaction Checker, Symptom Checker, Dose Calculator, Prescription Generator, Patient Profiles, Analytics Dashboard, and 6-language support Results: The live platform documents 30 Unani medicines with multiple herb-drug interaction pairs per profile. Severity classification: 10 Severe, 17 Moderate, 3 Mild. All profiles include clickable source links. Platform is fully functional offline and publicly accessible. It is archived on Zenodo with DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20756670 Conclusion: UnaniSafe is the first freely accessible, evidence-based digital clinical reference for herb-drug interactions in Unani practice in Pakistan. It addresses a public health gap and serves as a replicable model for integrative medicine safety Keywords: Unani medicine, Herb-drug interaction, Digital health, Patient safety, Traditional medicine INTRODUCTION / PROBLEM STATEMENT Pakistan has an estimated 50,000+ registered Unani/Hakeemi practitioners actively prescribing traditional formulations. Concurrent use of Unani preparations with allopathic drugs is common but often undisclosed to healthcare providers. This creates risk of clinically significant interactions, for example: Ashwagandha + Warfarin = bleeding risk; Licorice + Antihypertensives = hypertension; Bitter Melon + Insulin = hypoglycemia.

All clinical decisions should be made by a licensed healthcare professional ABSTRACT Background: Healthcare misinformation and preventable adverse drug events in underserved communities erode trust in institutions. When patients are harmed by undetected herb-drug interactions, confidence in both traditional and modern healthcare systems is damaged Objective: To develop UnaniSafe, a free, multilingual, offline-capable digital tool to bridge Unani/Hakeemi practice with evidence-based clinical pharmacology Methods: UnaniSafe was built using Base44 AI-powered no-code app builder. Evidence was sourced from PubMed, WHO Herbal Monographs, NCCIH, and EMA Herbal Monographs. 30 Unani medicine profiles were compiled with clinically documented herb-drug interactions, graded as Mild, Moderate, or Severe. The platform includes 8 modules: Medicine Database, Interaction Checker, Symptom Checker, Dose Calculator, Prescription Generator, Patient Profiles, Analytics Dashboard, and 6-language support Results: The live platform documents 30 Unani medicines with multiple herb-drug interaction pairs per profile. Severity classification: 10 Severe, 17 Moderate, 3 Mild. All profiles include clickable source links. Platform is fully functional offline and publicly accessible. It is archived on Zenodo with DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20756670 Conclusion: UnaniSafe is the first freely accessible, evidence-based digital clinical reference for herb-drug interactions in Unani practice in Pakistan. It addresses a public health gap and serves as a replicable model for integrative medicine safety Keywords: Unani medicine, Herb-drug interaction, Digital health, Patient safety, Traditional medicine INTRODUCTION / PROBLEM STATEMENT Pakistan has an estimated 50,000+ registered Unani/Hakeemi practitioners actively prescribing traditional formulations. Concurrent use of Unani preparations with allopathic drugs is common but often undisclosed to healthcare providers. This creates risk of clinically significant interactions, for example: Ashwagandha + Warfarin = bleeding risk; Licorice + Antihypertensives = hypertension; Bitter Melon + Insulin = hypoglycemia. No standardized, freely accessible digital system exists to flag these interactions at the point of care, especially in rural Punjab UnaniSafe builds inter-system trust by bridging Unani/Hakeemi practice with evidence-based clinical pharmacology, reducing the knowledge divide between traditional and modern medicine and fostering mutual respect across practice communities.

The study is grounded in the increasing reliance on herbal medicines for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as coughs, colds, and related ailments, particularly in low- and middle-income settings where access, affordability, and cultural acceptance drive widespread use. Purpose of the Study The primary purpose of this research is to systematically map and synthesize existing evidence on the microbiological, chemical, and toxicological risks associated with herbal cough preparations. Specifically, the study seeks to: Identify and characterize contaminants (microbial pathogens, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and pharmaceutical adulterants) present in herbal cough mixtures. Compare the safety profiles of products from informal markets in Ghana with those produced under regulated conditions in developed countries. Examine how factors such as dosage form, manufacturing practices, supply chain integrity, and regulatory oversight influence product safety. Highlight evidence gaps and propose actionable strategies to improve quality assurance and public health protection. By adopting a scoping review methodology, the study provides a broad and structured overview of available literature spanning laboratory analyses, clinical trials, surveillance studies, and regulatory reports published between 2000 and 2025. Scope and Approach The research integrates findings from multiple scientific domains, including: Microbiological safety (e.g., detection of pathogenic organisms such as Salmonella and Clostridium) Chemical toxicology (e.g., heavy metals like cadmium, lead, arsenic; pesticide residues including banned organochlorines) Clinical safety and efficacy (evidence from randomized controlled trials of standardized herbal formulations) Regulatory and quality control frameworks The comparative approach allows for a clear distinction between informal, unregulated herbal preparations commonly found in Ghana and standardized, quality-controlled products used in developed healthcare systems. Key Findings and Insights The study reveals that: Herbal cough mixtures from informal markets in Ghana are frequently associated with significant microbiological contamination, including potentially harmful pathogens. Heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium, and pesticide residues (including banned substances) are prevalent in some products, posing chronic toxicological risks. In contrast, herbal products from developed countries, especially those used in clinical settings, demonstrate much lower contamination levels due to strict regulatory oversight and standardized production processes. Dosage form plays a critical role in safety, with aqueous, multi-dose liquid preparations being more susceptible to contamination and instability. Evidence from clinical trials suggests that standardized herbal products can be safe and effective, but such findings cannot be generalized to unregulated market products. Expected Outcomes This research is expected to contribute significantly to both scientific knowledge and public health practice by: Providing an evidence-based framework for understanding the safety risks associated with herbal cough mixtures. Informing policy and regulatory reforms aimed at improving the quality, safety, and monitoring of herbal medicines in Ghana. Supporting the development of targeted surveillance systems, including routine testing for microbial and chemical contaminants.

Alongside conventional treatments, complementary therapies are increasingly used to support wound healing. Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), utilizing the larvae of Lucilia sericata, is a globally recognized method for treating non-healing wounds. These larvae secrete substances with antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbal remedies also play a role in chronic wound care, with various Achillea species traditionally used for medicinal purposes. This study investigated the wound healing effects of a pomade combining L. sericata larval secretions and Achillea sintenisii plant extract, compared to Furacin®, a commercial wound healing cream. Excisional wounds were created on diabetic Wistar albino rats, which were divided into four groups: DF (Furacin®), DM (L. sericata secretion), DA (A. sintenisii extract), and DM+DA (combined treatment). Wound area, contraction rates, and histological analyses were conducted to evaluate treatment efficacy. Results showed that both DM and DA treatments were more effective than Furacin® (DF), with DM outperforming DA. The most rapid and effective healing occurred in the DM+DA group, indicating a synergistic effect between the animal and plant-based therapies. This is the first comparative study evaluating the combined wound healing potential of these agents in a chronic wound model. The findings suggest that L. sericata secretions and A. sintenisii extract could lead to the development of affordable, accessible, and effective natural products for chronic wound care. These results may contribute to innovative treatment options in both veterinary and human medicine.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzsv8","authors":["Polat, Nevra","Mollahaliloğlu, Salih","Koç, Murat"],"tags":["FOS: Biological sciences","FOS: Medical and health sciences","Wound healing","Diabetes mellitus","Health care"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzsv8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.344Z"},{"id":"doi:10.17631/rd-2026-0004-ddat","name":"IMHELP project dataset 2025","source":"datacite","abstract":"This dataset was generated as part of the IMHELP Project (“Improving Maternal Health in Africa: Exploring how gendered practices shape the legitimation process of informal healthcare providers”), funded by the British Academy (SRG22/220130).

While such combinations are originally intended to improve health outcomes, they may also lead to harmful herb–drug interactions (HDIs). Despite growing clinical needs, HDI-related clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) remain scarce and often provide limited and non-operational recommendations. At present, no dedicated methodological framework exists to guide the translation of HDI evidence into implementable CPGs. Moreover, recommendation uptake in clinical practice is often delayed, highlighting the need to plan dissemination alongside CPG development. Currently, little is known about the factors influencing the dissemination of HDI-related CPGs and end-user preferences. Thus, this study aims to (a) develop a methodological framework for the development of HDI-related CPGs; and (b) develop a theory-informed dissemination plan to promote the uptake of HDI-related CPGs in clinical practice. Methods: This protocol comprises two main stages. First, a methodological framework for HDI-related CPGs will be developed using a modified Delphi approach. A scoping review will be conducted to identify key components relevant to HDI monitoring and management and to inform the development of a preliminary framework. A Delphi survey will then be used to achieve expert consensus on the framework. Experts specializing in integrated Chinese and Western medicine will be recruited using stratified purposive sampling strategy. Second, a theory-informed dissemination plan will be developed through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and end-users. The interview guide will be informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework to explore perceived barriers, facilitators, and preferences related to the dissemination of HDI-related CPGs. Findings will then be mapped onto well-established implementation science frameworks–Behavior Change Wheel and Behavior Change Techniques–to inform dissemination strategies. Discussion: This study will address critical gaps in both the development and dissemination of HDI-related CPGs. The methodological framework is expected to enhance the rigor and transparency of HDI guideline development. The theory-informed dissemination plan is anticipated to facilitate evidence translation, improve clinical practices addressing HDIs, and ultimately improve safety of integrative care.

The morpho-syllabic method was formally registered in October 2025. The research process involved the analysis of over 500 working documents, more than 2 million words processed, and over 5,000 hours of dedicated research. Artificial intelligence was not used to translate the manuscript or to generate hypotheses; it was employed exclusively as a tool for documentary formalization and academic structuring.The EVA-ZAMNA system is explicitly falsifiable, fully reproducible, and methodologically closed. Any independent researcher can apply the published table to the Voynich corpus and verify the results. The manuscript is identified not as a cipher or a hoax, but as a functional technical manual of women’s medicine, written in a private phonetic system during a period of systematic persecution of female medical practice in medieval Europe.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18611136","authors":["López, Alvaro","Lopez, Amaru"],"tags":["Voynich manuscript","Beinecke MS 408","Phonetic transcription","medieval italian"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.18611136","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17938104","name":"The Maria Protocol: A Top-Down Medical Decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript","source":"datacite","abstract":"Here is the full text of the paper for you to copy and save. The Maria Protocol: A Top-Down Medical Decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript - 15th-Century Fertility Treatments of Queen Maria of Castile and the Hebrew Acronym Code Hypothesis - Author: Masaki Tsuchimoto Affiliation: Independent Researcher Date: December 15, 2025 Abstract This paper proposes a novel decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke MS 408), utilizing a \"Top-Down Medical History (TMH)\" profiling approach rather than traditional linguistic statistical analysis. Based on radiocarbon dating (1404-1438) and specific iconographic details, we identify the manuscript's origin within the circle of Queen Maria of Castile, wife of Alfonso V of Aragon. We hypothesize that the text acts not as a natural language, but as a list of medical prescriptions encoded using Hebrew acronyms (notariqon) by Jewish conversos physicians to treat the Queen's infertility. The frequent token \"daiin\" is decoded as a compound prescription involving Dudaim (Mandrake), matching historical treatments for conception. This study concludes that the manuscript is a private medical chart and unsent correspondence intended for the absent King, combining gynecological records with astrological timing for conception. 1. Introduction The Voynich Manuscript has remained undeciphered for over a century. Previous attempts have largely failed by assuming the text represents a grammatically structured natural language (Bottom-Up approach). This paper adopts a \"Top-Down\" methodology, prioritizing historical context, motivation, and visual structure over cryptographic statistics. We argue that the manuscript's anomalies—such as repetitive strings and \"chimera\" plants—are features of a specific medical shorthand used for record-keeping and privacy. 2. Historical Background and The Maria Hypothesis 2.1. The Queen’s Context Carbon-14 dating places the vellum between 1404 and 1438. This period coincides perfectly with the life of Maria of Castile (1401–1458), Queen of Aragon, who suffered from well-documented infertility issues while her husband, Alfonso V, was absent in Naples. 2.2. The Ischia Connection The \"Rosettes\" foldout (f86v) depicts a castle connected to the mainland by a bridge. This structure bears a striking resemblance to the Castello Aragonese on Ischia, which Alfonso V renovated in the mid-15th century. This geographical link suggests the manuscript was created as a report or connection to the King's location. 3. Methodology: The Hebrew Acronym Code Given the prominence of Jewish medicine in the Aragonese court, we hypothesize the text uses Hebrew initials to denote ingredients, similar to an Eastern Medicine herbal prescription. 3.1. Decoding \"daiin\" The most frequent word, \"daiin,\" is interpreted not as a word, but as a formula: - D = Dudaim (Mandrake): Historically used for fertility and pain relief. - A = Afyun (Opium) or Ahalo (Aloe): Sedative and purification. - Y/I = Yayin (Wine): The solvent/base for the tincture. - N = Nard (Nardostachys jatamansi): Aromatic oil for stability. Thus, \"daiin\" represents a specific \"Mandrake Wine\" prescription essential for the treatment. 3.2. Phytomorphs as Recipes The botanical illustrations, often described as \"chimeras\" (e.g., mismatched roots and flowers), are interpreted here through the lens of Eastern/Herbal medicine. They are not depictions of single species, but conceptual diagrams of a \"compound medicine\" (root X + leaf Y + flower Z) tailored to the patient's specific constitution (\"Sho\" in Eastern medicine terms). 4. Analysis of Biological and Astronomical Sections 4.1. Gynecological Records The \"Biological\" section (e.g., f79v), depicting women in green fluids, represents distinct balneotherapy (medicinal bathing) using iron-sulfate rich waters (green).

This study aimed to identify key determinants and preventive measures for diarrheal disease among under-five children attending Gitarama Health Center. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, using purposive sampling to select 376 mothers or guardians of under-five children. Data were analyzed to determine the prevalence, associated factors, and mitigation practices. Results showed that 23.4% (n = 88) of the children had experienced diarrhea within the two weeks preceding the survey. Most cases were single episodes, while few were recurrent. Common management practices included seeking care at health facilities (73.9%), using oral rehydration salts (56.8%), and increasing fluid intake (43.2%). Traditional remedies (15.9%) and herbal medicine (6.8%) were also used. Hygienic behaviors, such as handwashing before feeding and safe disposal of child feces, were significantly associated with reduced diarrhea incidence (p < 0.05).

Despite its long-standing use, scientific evaluation and systematic evidence remain limited. Methods: A systematic review was carried out by literature searched from 2019– 2025 in PubMed, Google Scholar, AYUSH Research Portal, and other databases. Siddha classical texts were also referred to for traditional indications. Inclusion criteria covered studies on purification, preparation, pharmacological, and toxicological evaluations of Thiruvanga Chunnam and its ingredients. Results: Thiruvanga Chunnam is prepared using purified Tin, Stannum, mercury, and zinc with herbal ingredients. Modern studies highlight its pharmacological actions, including antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytoprotective activities.

Материал и методы. Проведено проспективное когортное исследование в одной группе женщин позднего репродуктивного и перименопаузального возраста с ПТО I-II стадии (n = 42) с оценкой результатов до и после интервенции (курса превентивной терапии ПТО) в период 2023-2025 гг. в условиях ООО Санаторий «Алтайский замок» (город-курорт Федерального значения Белокуриха, Алтайский край, РФ). Проводилась оценка клинико-анамнестических, эхографических данных, результатов анкетирования и перинеометрии. Расчет риска развития ПТО тяжелой степени осуществлялся на основании формулы, разработанной с применением логистической регрессии. Для оценки динамики показателей до и после терапии применялся непараметрический критерий Манна-Уитни. Результаты представлены в виде медианы (Me) и интерквартильного размаха (Q1-Q3). Результаты и обсуждение. Полученные в исследовании результаты позволили создать программу профилактики тяжелого пролапса гениталий у пациенток группы риска с наличием начальных проявлений заболевания. Разработанная прогностическая формула риска прогрессирования пролапса тазовых органов, основанная на клинико-анамнестических данных, позволяет своевременно выделить когорту женщин и провести им раннюю превентивную терапию, направленную на укрепление мышц тазового дна, доступную в санаторно-курортных условиях (диета, гимнастика, терренкур, аквааэробика, электромагнитная стимуляция нервно-мышечного аппарата тазового дна на аппарате «КАП-ЭЛМ-01 «Андро-Гин», фитотерапия). Заключение. Предложенная программа профилактики пролапса гениталий тяжелой степени в санаторных условиях на основе прогностической формулы позволяет осуществить персонифицированное ведение пациенток группы риска его прогрессирования с воздействием на модифицируемые факторы риска.","url":"https://doi.org/10.24412/2686-7338-2025-3-87-93","authors":["Ремнева Ольга Васильевна","Иванюк Ирина Сергеевна","Яворская Светлана Дмитриевна","Петров Андрей Владимирович","Габаева Мадина Магаметовна"],"tags":["пролапс тазовых органов","факторы риска","превентивная терапия","pelvic organ prolapse","risk factors","preventive therapy"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.24412/2686-7338-2025-3-87-93","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:15.548Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17204770","name":"The Great Re-Balancing: Analyzing the Winners and Losers of India's GST 2.0 Reforms","source":"datacite","abstract":"The Great Re-Balancing: Analyzing the Winners and Losers of India's GST 2.0 ReformsKeywords: GST 2.0, Tax Simplification, Rate Rationalization, Industry Lobbies, Income Quintiles, Economic Impact, Public Health.IntroductionEffective September 22, 2025, India initiated \"GST 2.0,\" the most significant overhaul of its Goods and Services Tax regime since its 2017 inception. This next-generation reform replaces the complex multi-slab structure with a simplified framework of primarily two rates—5% and 18%—alongside a 0% rate for essentials and a 40% \"sin/luxury\" tax.[1][2] The stated objective is to enhance economic efficiency, boost consumption, and reduce the compliance burden.[3][4] However, a deeper analysis reveals a complex tapestry of outcomes, creating clear winners and losers across various industrial sectors and income strata. While the reforms promise a substantial fiscal stimulus and increased purchasing power for lower-income households, they also deliver targeted windfalls to powerful industry lobbies and raise pertinent questions about long-term public health.Unpacking the Gains: A Windfall for Industry LobbiesThe rationalization of tax rates under GST 2.0 has been a significant victory for several well-organized industry lobbies, which stand to gain billions annually through a combination of direct tax relief and demand-driven revenue growth.The Ayurveda and wellness sector, a key beneficiary, has seen most of its products, including herbal medicines, supplements, and personal care items, shift from 12-18% tax brackets to a uniform 5% slab. This move aligns with the government's push for traditional medicine and is projected to provide the industry with annual gains of ₹255-315 billion. Dominant players like Patanjali are poised to capture a significant share of this benefit, with an estimated annual gain of ₹1,700-2,800 crore, enhancing their competitive stance against established FMCG rivals.Similarly, the processed and ultra-processed food lobby has secured substantial relief. With products like packaged snacks, biscuits, and ready-to-eat meals moving from 12-18% down to 5% or 0%, the sector anticipates an annual gain of ₹74,000-94,000 crore. This tax reduction is expected to boost affordability, formalize segments of the market, and accelerate the sector's already high growth trajectory.The sugar lobby also emerges as a major winner. The reduction of GST on sugar-based confectionery, chocolates, pastries, and ice cream from rates as high as 18% to just 5% provides a dual benefit: direct tax savings of approximately ₹5,500 crore and an estimated demand-driven revenue uplift of ₹700-1,000 crore. This translates to a combined annual gain of ₹6,200-6,500 crore, fostering liquidity for sugar mills.Perhaps most controversially, the pan masala industry is set for a monumental tax reduction. The planned abolition of the compensation cess, deferred until mid-2026, will eventually consolidate the tax rate to a flat 40% sin tax. This is a sharp drop from the current effective rates of 88% on non-tobacco pan masala and a staggering 232% on tobacco-containing variants. The industry anticipates an enormous annual gain of ₹25,500-31,000 crore post-2026, a move that critics argue prioritizes fiscal policy over public health concerns.Other significant beneficiaries include the automobiles, textiles, and housing sectors. The reduction of GST on small cars and two-wheelers from 28-31% to 18% is a major demand booster.[5][6][7] Likewise, bringing cement down from 28% to 18% and man-made textiles to 5% is expected to invigorate the real estate and apparel industries, respectively, resolving issues like inverted duty structures.[5][8][9]The Impact on Household Incomes: A Progressive ShiftA defining feature of GST 2.0 is its progressive impact on household consumption across different income levels.

The global burden of infectious diseases and the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant strains underscore the need to understand and predict the threats posed by endemic pathogens. The One Health framework holds that human, animal, plant, and environmental health are inherently interconnected and interdependent. The escalation of drug resistance patterns., endemic diseases, vector-borne diseases, are driven by climate change and socioeconomic issues. The next pandemic may emerge gradually, affecting the most vulnerable communities, necessitating immediate action. Notable past outbreaks include the 2003 SARS, 2009 swine flu, 2012 MERS, 2013-2016 Ebola, and Zika virus, caused morbidity and mortality across countries.

With the increasing frequency of these illnesses among aging populations, there is an urgent demand for effective, accessible, and safe therapeutic alternatives. Traditional medicine and ethnopharmacology have historically employed cognitive-enhancing herbs, providing a supplementary method to standard therapies. This chapter assesses the efficiency of protruding medicinal herbs, such as <i>Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi), Panax ginseng, Withaniasomnifera (Ashwagandha), and Salvia officinalis (Sage)</i>, in the inhibition and management of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The research investigates its neuroprotective mechanisms, including antioxidant activity, suppression of amyloid-beta aggregation, cholinesterase inhibition, antiinflammatory effects, and facilitation of neurogenesis. Clinical trials assessing the efficacy, safety, and dose of various plants are examined to evaluate their medicinal potential. Although preclinical and small-scale clinical trials indicate potential cognitive and neuroprotective benefits, limitations like variability in study designs, limited sample sizes, and inconsistent results require additional careful investigation. This abstract emphasizes the significance of merging traditional knowledge with contemporary evidence-based medicine to create innovative, plant-derived medicines that target the complex pathogenesis of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9798898815523126010012","authors":["Saloni Yadav","Shraddha Mahajan","Sweta S.

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality across settings. In sub-Saharan Africa, it is frequently community-acquired and linked to infectious diseases, obstetric complications, and the ingestion of nephrotoxic substances. Notably, herbal medicine use remains widespread in African obstetric care, driven by cultural beliefs, perceived safety of natural remedies, and limited access to formal healthcare, particularly for managing pregnancy-related complications and inducing labor. However, the lack of standardization in the preparation, dosage, and regulation of these remedies poses a considerable threat to renal health, with several plant-based agents already linked to nephrotoxicity and adverse maternal-fetal outcomes, including stillbirth and neonatal mortality. Despite these risks, existing evidence remains fragmented across isolated case reports or broader AKI literature that does not specifically isolate the herbal-obstetric relationship. A scoping review is therefore needed to consolidate this evidence and identify existing knowledge gaps. Methods: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and be reported according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL, AJOL, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and relevant grey literature sources will be conducted for studies published between January 2000 and June 2026. Eligible sources will include primary studies, descriptive studies, secondary evidence, and grey literature involving obstetric patients in Africa with herbal medicine-associated AKI. Screening will be conducted independently by two reviewers in two phases (title/abstract and full-text), with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be charted using a standardized extraction form and synthesized descriptively, with results presented through tables, maps, and narrative summary.

Read the full article: https://ioro.org/ijter/article/212605232582/212605232582. Background: Lumbar spondylosis is a common degenerative spinal disorder in elderly individuals, often associated with chronic low back pain, radicular symptoms, lower limb heaviness, and impaired mobility. In Ayurveda, such manifestations resemble Katigata Vata with associated Sandhigata Vata features due to Vata predominance in old age. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old female presented with complaints of chronic low back pain radiating to both lower limbs, bilateral knee pain, crepitus with swelling in both knees, left lower limb swelling, difficulty in prolonged standing and walking, and bilateral lower limb heaviness. The patient had a history of fall two years prior and known hypertension for 20 years under allopathic treatment. Intervention: The patient was prescribed an integrative herbal regimen consisting of Gond Siyah powder, T-Care capsules, P-Care capsules, Pachan Care Syrup administered with lukewarm water and Gond Siyah oil for local application as advised. Outcome: After treatment, the patient reported reduction in low back pain and bilateral knee pain, mild reduction in lower limb heaviness, and improved ease in daily activities. Stiffness persisted mildly but no fresh complaints were observed. Conclusion: This case demonstrates symptomatic improvement in degenerative lumbar pathology through conservative traditional medicine management, suggesting possible benefit in pain reduction, mobility enhancement, and quality-of-life improvement in elderly patients with lumbar spondylotic changes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21448440","authors":["Sahil Khan","Kajal Sharma","Mohd.

The separate 'Pearson R = -0.453, n=93' anchor is REAL - it comes from the ChEMBL-derived 93-compound cohort of companion preprint #18 (pilot/cpu_meaningful/chembl_boltz2_calibration.csv, carrying per-record ChEMBL document identifiers) and reproduces on recomputation (Pearson -0.4535, Spearman -0.4582). It was, however, being cited incorrectly. In this record the limitations section attributed 'pearson correlation against ChEMBL ground truth is r = -0.453' to preprint #8. Preprint #8 never reported that figure - its own calibration was the n=15 one since withdrawn for fabricated potency annotations. The figure belongs to preprint #18's real 93-compound cohort and was measured on Boltz-2 affinity_pred_value; the attribution is corrected.

Six members of this family were identified through six rounds of Bayesian active learning (R9–R14, 4,597 cofold predictions integrated, 14 protein targets, 200-candidate pool size). All six leaders satisfy the multi-target leadership criterion (top-5 in 8+ of 14 targets) and demonstrate paper-tier 10 ns molecular dynamics stability (RMSD < 2.0 Å) on RTX 5090 GPU. The expected-improvement (EI) acquisition function reached saturation at R12 (EI=0.0077), confirmed across three additional cycles (R13 EI=0.0077, R14 EI not greater than R13). The R12_4/R12_11/R14_5 hydroxymethyl/methoxy variants, R12_23 methyl ester (TYR/TYRP1 selective), R13_13 prenyl variant (R11_0 + lipophilicity enhancement), and R11_0 trihydroxy parent constitute a structure–activity relationship rich enough to support multi-vertical formulation strategies. R15/R16 chromanol follow-up separates a systemic-safety fragment path from a topical-optimized analog path; the R15 triple-safe chromanol fragment remained dynamically stable across its top-3 cofold targets in 30 ns MD, while an 18-pair R16 topical chromanol 30 ns matrix across TGFB1, DCT, and TYR remained paper-tier stable, and the TGFB1 top-6 subset remained stable in 60 ns follow-up (max RMSD 1.22 Å, max last-third mean 0.96 Å).

Korean traditional medicine documents hair-vitalization preparations centered on Polygonum multiflorum (Hasuo; emodin, physcion), Astragalus membranaceus (Hwanggi; astragaloside IV), and Panax ginseng (Insam; ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Saponin Re), among others. We evaluate a 15-compound curated Korean herbal library against the SRD5A2 / AR / CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) three-target panel using a four-layer in silico framework: (i) Boltz-2 protein-ligand co-folding with cached MMseqs2 multiple-sequence alignments (n = 39 successful cofolds, 6 SMILES sanitization or fold failures explicitly listed); (ii) a ChEMBL pIC50 calibration anchor carried over from the parallel MMP-1 calibration set (Pearson R = -0.453, n = 93), establishing that Boltz-2 affinity_probability_binary is a relative-ranking predictor and not an absolute potency estimate; (iii) ADMET-AI v2.0.1 safety prediction across 107 endpoints including hERG, skin reaction, AMES, and ClinTox; and (iv) cell-type filtering against an 821k-cell pilosebaceous single-cell atlas (cross-link to the companion PIEZO1 / MLCK repositioning study), restricting downstream prioritization to compounds whose targets are expressed in the dermal papilla and connective-tissue-sheath cell populations relevant to AGA pathobiology.

Boltz-2 results identify oxyresveratrol from Morus alba root as the top mean-affinity candidate (mean 0.758, MD-stable across TYR and DCT) but with notable predicted skin-irritation and AMES liabilities that we do not minimize. Curcumin from Curcuma longa emerges as the cleanest topical-friendly alternative (mean 0.695, logP 3.29, hERG 0.07, MD-stable). Glabridin and licochalcone A from Glycyrrhiza uralensis score high on affinity but fall outside the topical absorption sweet spot (logP 3.99 and 4.46). Classical depigmenting references including kojic acid, arbutin, hydroquinone, and niacinamide rank low (mean 0.32 to 0.50), consistent with the Boltz-2 classifier's reduced sensitivity for fragment-size compounds and confirming the calibration limitation of the relative-ranking interpretation.

Corrected version (2026-07-18). This preprint contains no fabricated panel of its own; one sentence had cited a within-class MMP-1 calibration of |rho| about 0.72 from companion preprint #8 §3.6 as support for the Boltz-2 screen. That calibration has been withdrawn (its panel carried fabricated potencies), so the citation is removed; the downgrade of the Emodin x AR hit rests on the Chai-1 ensemble disagreement, which is unaffected. The n=93 ChEMBL calibration anchor cited elsewhere in the abstract is a different, uncontaminated cohort and is unchanged. In silico only. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is driven by androgen-pathway enzymes (SRD5A1/2 catalyzing testosterone to dihydrotestosterone), the androgen receptor (AR), and the hair-follicle-cycle Wnt / beta-catenin axis, with emerging evidence for mechanotransduction (PIEZO1 / MLCK) as a non-androgen contributor to follicular miniaturization. Korean traditional medicine documents hair-vitalization preparations centered on Polygonum multiflorum (Hasuo; emodin, physcion), Astragalus membranaceus (Hwanggi; astragaloside IV), and Panax ginseng (Insam; ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Saponin Re), among others. We evaluate a 15-compound curated Korean herbal library against the SRD5A2 / AR / CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) three-target panel using a four-layer in silico framework: (i) Boltz-2 protein-ligand co-folding with cached MMseqs2 multiple-sequence alignments (n = 39 successful cofolds, 6 SMILES sanitization or fold failures explicitly listed); (ii) a ChEMBL pIC50 calibration anchor carried over from the parallel MMP-1 calibration set (Pearson R = -0.453, n = 93), establishing that Boltz-2 affinity_probability_binary is a relative-ranking predictor and not an absolute potency estimate; (iii) ADMET-AI v2.0.1 safety prediction across 107 endpoints including hERG, skin reaction, AMES, and ClinTox; and (iv) cell-type filtering against an 821k-cell pilosebaceous single-cell atlas (cross-link to the companion PIEZO1 / MLCK repositioning study), restricting downstream prioritization to compounds whose targets are expressed in the dermal papilla and connective-tissue-sheath cell populations relevant to AGA pathobiology. SRD5A1 was not folded (cached MSA absent) and is an explicit limitation. Boltz-2 results identify Saponin Re from Panax ginseng and Emodin from Polygonum multiflorum as joint top-1 by mean affinity (mean 0.675 each), with Saponin Re leading SRD5A2 (0.746) and Emodin leading AR (0.768). Both leads carry explicit trade-offs: Emodin (skin reaction 0.957, AMES 0.711) and Physcion (skin reaction 0.921, AMES 0.734) carry significant safety flags; Saponin Re (MW 947, logP -0.03) is far outside the topical sweet spot. Biochanin A from soy and Astragalus membranaceus emerges as the cleanest combined-profile candidate (mean 0.544, hERG 0.52, AMES 0.24, topical-friendly). Finasteride, the reference SRD5A2 inhibitor, ranks low in the Boltz-2 binary classifier (mean 0.202), reflecting the classifier's known limitation for mechanism-based covalent inhibition; this is a methodological observation, not a refutation of finasteride's clinical efficacy. Open Targets evidence-tier mapping places SRD5A2, AR, and CTNNB1 in the green-evidence tier for AGA. We position Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as topical-scalp candidates with explicit safety-versus-affinity trade-offs whose forward path is dermal papilla cell culture and three-dimensional scalp organoid validation.

SREBP1, C. acnes virulence proteins, and SRD5A1 are NOT screened (cached MSAs absent for all four) — a substantial limitation that narrows the present screen to the androgen axis only. Real Boltz-2 results identify Baicalein (황금) as top mean affinity (0.744) with AR engagement 0.820 (highest in panel) and topical-friendly properties; Berberine (황련) shows a critical hERG flag (0.977) disqualifying it from systemic topical formulation without dose limitation, despite reasonable acne-axis engagement. Wogonin (황금) has the cleanest ADMET safety profile (AMES 0.247) at moderate affinity. The Korean traditional formulary's combinatorial pattern of 황련 + 황금 + 감초 finds partial structural support but with the safety caveats above. All results are in silico; sebaceous cell + C. acnes assay validation remain the explicit next step.

Korean traditional medicine documents hair-vitalization preparations centered on Polygonum multiflorum (Hasuo; emodin, physcion), Astragalus membranaceus (Hwanggi; astragaloside IV), and Panax ginseng (Insam; ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Saponin Re), among others. We evaluate a 15-compound curated Korean herbal library against the SRD5A2 / AR / CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) three-target panel using a four-layer in silico framework: (i) Boltz-2 protein-ligand co-folding with cached MMseqs2 multiple-sequence alignments (n = 39 successful cofolds, 6 SMILES sanitization or fold failures explicitly listed); (ii) a ChEMBL pIC50 calibration anchor carried over from the parallel MMP-1 calibration set (Pearson R = -0.453, n = 93), establishing that Boltz-2 affinity_probability_binary is a relative-ranking predictor and not an absolute potency estimate; (iii) ADMET-AI v2.0.1 safety prediction across 107 endpoints including hERG, skin reaction, AMES, and ClinTox; and (iv) cell-type filtering against an 821k-cell pilosebaceous single-cell atlas (cross-link to the companion PIEZO1 / MLCK repositioning study), restricting downstream prioritization to compounds whose targets are expressed in the dermal papilla and connective-tissue-sheath cell populations relevant to AGA pathobiology. SRD5A1 was not folded (cached MSA absent) and is an explicit limitation. Boltz-2 results identify Saponin Re from Panax ginseng and Emodin from Polygonum multiflorum as joint top-1 by mean affinity (mean 0.675 each), with Saponin Re leading SRD5A2 (0.746) and Emodin leading AR (0.768). Both leads carry explicit trade-offs: Emodin (skin reaction 0.957, AMES 0.711) and Physcion (skin reaction 0.921, AMES 0.734) carry significant safety flags; Saponin Re (MW 947, logP -0.03) is far outside the topical sweet spot. Biochanin A from soy and Astragalus membranaceus emerges as the cleanest combined-profile candidate (mean 0.544, hERG 0.52, AMES 0.24, topical-friendly). Finasteride, the reference SRD5A2 inhibitor, ranks low in the Boltz-2 binary classifier (mean 0.202), reflecting the classifier's known limitation for mechanism-based covalent inhibition; this is a methodological observation, not a refutation of finasteride's clinical efficacy. Open Targets evidence-tier mapping places SRD5A2, AR, and CTNNB1 in the green-evidence tier for AGA. We position Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as topical-scalp candidates with explicit safety-versus-affinity trade-offs whose forward path is dermal papilla cell culture and three-dimensional scalp organoid validation.

Korean traditional medicine maintains a long-standing repertoire of depigmenting preparations centered on Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Gamcho), Camellia sinensis (Nokcha), Morus alba (Sangbaekpi), and Broussonetia kazinoki (Daknamu). We evaluate a 15-compound curated Korean herbal library against the TYR / TYRP1 / DCT three-target panel using a four-layer in silico framework: (i) Boltz-2 protein-ligand co-folding (n = 45, cached MMseqs2 multiple-sequence alignments, RTX 5090 GPU); (ii) a ChEMBL pIC50 calibration anchor carried over from the parallel MMP-1 calibration set (Pearson R = -0.453, n = 93), establishing that Boltz-2 affinity_probability_binary is a relative-ranking predictor and not an absolute potency estimate; (iii) 30 ns OpenMM / GAFF-2.11 / TIP3P molecular dynamics on the top three mean-affinity candidates against TYR and DCT (six MD simulations, all RMSD below 2.0 Angstrom in the last-third trajectory window, demonstrating dynamic stability of the predicted binding poses); and (iv) ADMET-AI v2.0.1 safety prediction across 107 endpoints including hERG, skin reaction, AMES, and ClinTox. MITF was not folded due to absence of a cached MSA and is an explicit limitation of the present evaluation. Boltz-2 results identify oxyresveratrol from Morus alba root as the top mean-affinity candidate (mean 0.758, MD-stable across TYR and DCT) but with notable predicted skin-irritation and AMES liabilities that we do not minimize. Curcumin from Curcuma longa emerges as the cleanest topical-friendly alternative (mean 0.695, logP 3.29, hERG 0.07, MD-stable). Glabridin and licochalcone A from Glycyrrhiza uralensis score high on affinity but fall outside the topical absorption sweet spot (logP 3.99 and 4.46). Classical depigmenting references including kojic acid, arbutin, hydroquinone, and niacinamide rank low (mean 0.32 to 0.50), consistent with the Boltz-2 classifier's reduced sensitivity for fragment-size compounds and confirming the calibration limitation of the relative-ranking interpretation. Open Targets evidence-tier mapping places TYR, TYRP1, and DCT in the green-evidence tier for hyperpigmentation indications, supporting the target choice.

This trend highlights the importance of medical students, as upcoming doctors, in obtaining essential insights into herbal remedies. The study aimed to assess medical students’ comprehension, attitudes, and usage patterns related to herbal medication, assess associated sociodemographic determinants, and identify reasons for using herbal medicine among students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 410 medical students from grades 1 to 6 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Kufa, using convenience sampling. The study took place from February 1st, 2024, to December 31st, 2024. Data was gathered through structured interviews using a four-part questionnaire. The first section covered sociodemographic information, while the second evaluated students’ knowledge of herbal medicine. The third and fourth sections assessed attitudes toward and practices regarding herbal medicine. Results: Data showed that 24.8% of students were currently using herbal medicine, and 48.8% of them used it for therapeutic reasons. The majority of participants (81.7%) and (83.4%) agreed that herbal medicine does not prevent or cure all diseases and emphasizes the importance of consulting a doctor before using it. Most of the respondents (78.5%) disagreed that herbal medicine is always safe. Conclusion: Herbal Medicine is widespread among medical students.

Hypothyroidism is common in the United States, affecting approximately 4.6% of the population, with higher rates observed in females and the elderly. The review aims to provide a thorough overview of the current state of research on herbal treatment for hypothyroidism. Despite these promising findings, the review highlights the limitations of current research, including the lack of large-scale, high-quality clinical trials and concerns regarding long-term safety and efficacy. The review emphasizes the need for further rigorous research to validate the benefits and safety of these herbal medicines and to explore their mechanisms of action in greater detail. By addressing these gaps in knowledge, the review aims to contribute to the development of more effective and safer treatment options for patients with hypothyroidism. The outcomes of this review for the field of study include the potential inclusion of herbal medicines into treatment protocols, offering a natural and potentially safer alternative to conventional thyroid treatments. Future research directions suggested by the review include conducting large-scale randomized controlled trials and investigating the interactions between herbal medicines and conventional treatments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202503.0343.v1","authors":["Julian Besant","Francesca Martinez","Natalie Durzynski","Joseph Varon","Matthew

It is composed of a blend of several herbs known for their medicinal properties, along with meat by-products. This precise combination results in an ointment that effectively treats various types of wounds, including burns, infected wounds, deep lacerations, and scratches. The aim of this study is to investigate how this popular medicine influences the treatment of various wounds, referencing the research conducted by the respective authors for each plant. Materials and Methods: A total of 513 cases were included in the study. Participants who responded to the questionnaire varied in age and had different types of wounds. Additionally, they were not exclusively from the Tirana highlands. The responses included information on the care provided, the duration of treatment, any combinations with other herbs, as well as any side effects or allergies experienced. Results: The average time for wound healing is approximately 12 days, with burns accounting for 32% of the cases. Fortunately, no allergic reactions were observed, and the medication was administered twice daily in 63% of cases. Conclusions: Bastar Ointment has demonstrated positive effects on wound healing, thereby confirming the pharmacological properties of this traditional folk medicine. The findings indicate its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antinociceptive, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects, as well as its content of essential vitamins and beneficial fats. Given its diverse range of biological activities, Bastar Ointment can be regarded as a medicine with valuable and intriguing properties.","url":"https://doi.org/10.58944/phvw7629","authors":["Orjon RROJI","Erjona KABILI"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-06-30T08:13:51Z","doi":"10.58944/phvw7629","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2025.3.0130","name":"Herbal Medicine in Pediatrics: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2025.3.0130","authors":["Cosima Englert","Dennis Anheyer","Alfred Längler","Melanie Anheyer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-03-31T01:27:50Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2025.3.0130","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.610Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.610Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100989","name":"Bioactivities, medicinal properties, and advanced extraction techniques of Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus): a comprehensive review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100989","authors":["Syamand A.

This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding the use of traditional medicine (TM) by patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Oman. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study based on a previously validated questionnaire conducted among patients attending a Cardiology outpatients’ clinic. Results: There were 103(mean age 45.1+13.4 years; 85 or 82.5% male) responses to the questionnaire of which 70(67.9%) had previously used at least one form of TM. Those who had used TM were older (48.1+13.4yrs vs 41.2+10.9 years; p=0.01). However, there was no difference between the gender, educational status or occupation between the two groups. Cupping was the most common (58 out of 70 or 82.8%) followed by herbal medications (52 or 74.2%) and branding (47 or 67.1%), TM was used mainly for non-cardiac indications such as headache (47 or 67.1%), back pain (42 or 60%), abdominal pain (41 or 58.5%) and only 30 (42.8%) using it for chest pains. Majority of those who had used (65 out of 70 or 92.8%) said that they felt it was effective and 58 (82.8%) said that they would try it again. However, only 21.4% said that they would recommend it to others. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that there is widespread use of TM practices among patients with IHD in Oman and their use should be monitored due to the potential for interactions with regular medications and side effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.71480/nmj.v66i3.850","authors":["al-maskari, ahmed","Al-Mamari, Qasim","Al-Riyami, Hassan","Nadar, Sunil"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025","doi":"10.71480/nmj.v66i3.850","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.611Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:16.611Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.17009260","name":"Ayurvedic Management of Tamak Shwas (Bronchial Asthma)","source":"datacite","abstract":"The symptoms of Tamaka Shwasa, which are similar to those of bronchial asthma in contemporary medicine and are described in Ayurveda as a chronic Kapha-Vata dominating condition of the Pranavaha Srotas, include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and dyspnea.

In East Africa, the traditional healer, known by a multitude of names—mganga in Swahili, abayitsa in Luganda, laibon among the Maasai—stands as a living archive of this system. While the arrival of colonial medicine and the subsequent rise of biomedicine often cast these practices into the shadow of superstition, a more nuanced scholarly perspective reveals a sophisticated, adaptive, and indispensable component of regional healthcare. This article argues that the enduring merit of the East African traditional healer lies not merely in the pharmacological efficacy of their materia medica, but in a holistic, “inscribed science”—a knowledge system encoded in culture, ritual, and ecology that offers a model of resilience and patient-centered care which modern health systems are only beginning to appreciate. By examining the healer’s role as a botanist, diagnostician, and community psychiatrist, this paper posits that the future of East African health lies not in the replacement of this tradition, but in a respectful, evidence-informed partnership.","url":"https://doi.org/10.55677/craj/12-2026-vol03i05","authors":["Mark Leveri"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-01T09:14:54Z","doi":"10.55677/craj/12-2026-vol03i05","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4018/979-8-3373-7810-7.ch006","name":"Herbal Antibiotics for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria","source":"crossref","abstract":"The use of herbal antibiotics has increased as a substitute for synthetic ones, which are ineffective against bacteria that are resistant to drugs.

Recent studies show that herbal bioactive compounds which include polyphenols and flavonoids and alkaloids have become important research subjects because their chemical properties enable them to target multiple biological pathways while causing minimal adverse effects. This study systematically examines the scientific data which supports the neuroprotective and cardioprotective functions of major phytochemicals including curcumin and resveratrol and quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The chemicals achieve their primary neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system through three different mechanisms which include Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation and NF-κB microglial activation control and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio maintenance to protect neurotransmitter from death. The cardioprotective effects of these compounds occur because they increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and activate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and decrease ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The article presents evidence that cardiac and cerebral diseases interact with each other because herbal substances with multiple effects provide dual protective functions. The presence of insufficient bioavailability together with rapid metabolism results in clinical obstacles which prevent operational use of bioactives despite their strong preclinical evidence. The use of advanced drug delivery technologies which include lipid-based nanoparticles serves as the necessary method to enhance their therapeutic effectiveness. The research demonstrates that extensive clinical studies at a larger scale are required to validate the experimental models which show cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.29121/jahim.v6.i1.2026.87","authors":["Parshaveni Balaraju","Kishore Kumar Godisela"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-21T09:19:21Z","doi":"10.29121/jahim.v6.i1.2026.87","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.14218/fim.2025.00059","name":"Bridging Traditional Medicine with Modern Technology: “Omics”-guided Herbal Pharmacovigilance for Integrative Liver Health","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.14218/fim.2025.00059","authors":["Anuradha Singh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T01:53:12Z","doi":"10.14218/fim.2025.00059","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101103","name":"Plant-derived therapeutics for COVID-19: clinical effectiveness and research evolution through bibliometric mapping","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101103","authors":["Mst.

Traditional systems such as Ayurveda explain drug action through fundamental concepts including Panchamahabhuta, Rasapanchaka, Karma, Samanya–Vishesha, Matra, Kala, and Anupana, emphasizing individualized and holistic healthcare. In contrast, modern pharmacology evaluates herbal medicines through pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, receptor interactions, enzyme modulation, and toxicity assessment. Phytochemical standardization plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality, safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of herbal drugs by employing organoleptic, microscopic, physicochemical, chromatographic, spectroscopic, and biological evaluation techniques. Standardization also includes assessment of contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial load in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Despite challenges arising from variations in plant sources, environmental factors, and the complexity of phytochemical constituents, scientific validation and quality control measures have significantly enhanced the global acceptance of herbal medicines. The integration of Ayurvedic principles with modern analytical techniques provides a comprehensive framework for understanding, validating, and standardizing herbal therapeutics for safe and effective clinical use.","url":"https://doi.org/10.58532/nbennureptiv6b1c16","authors":["Minamanuru.sadhana"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-23T11:58:17Z","doi":"10.58532/nbennureptiv6b1c16","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101116","name":"Impact of Saireito intake during pregnancy and lactation on maternal and child health outcomes – a systematic review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101116","authors":["Kuruba Yamini Priyanka","Anju Sinha","Rounik Talukdar","Amanda J.

However, the effectiveness of current pharmacologic interventions remains limited, requiring further therapeutic advancements. Traditional herbal medicine (THM) has been used worldwide in the treatment of CKD, but its effect remains uncertain. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of THM in managing CKD and to identify appropriate methods for assessing its therapeutic effect. A literature search of six databases was conducted. The inclusion criteria comprised (i) ≥100 sample sizes, including retrospective studies, reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs, crossover trials, and meta-analyses; (ii) CKD patients as the target; (iii) the use of oral THM as interventions; and (iv) reported primary and secondary outcomes. There were 18 RCTs with 3452 participants, 12 systematic reviews, 4 meta-analyses, and 4 retrospective studies. Although THM improved glomerular filtration rate, its therapeutic effect was uncertain due to major limitations, such as small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. THM formulas are prescribed based on THM diagnosis in a timely manner, meaning that patients sharing the same Western medical diagnosis may receive different formulas, and that prescriptions for a single patient may change during treatment. This approach may be a key reason for the small sample sizes and short follow-up periods of most THM studies against CKD. The use of quality-assured and ready-to-use Kampo extracts in a timely manner may be a promising method for the clinical application of THM in CKD treatment and the evaluation of its actual therapeutic effects.","url":"https://doi.org/10.36922/gtm025480090","authors":["Kazutomo Sawai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-05T09:40:31Z","doi":"10.36922/gtm025480090","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.64388/irev9i12-1719343","name":"A Review on Challenges and Opportunities in Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.64388/irev9i12-1719343","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-30T11:55:39Z","doi":"10.64388/irev9i12-1719343","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003522065-6","name":"Quality Control, Standardization, and Safety Evaluation Strategies of Herbal Medicines for Clinical Trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003522065-6","authors":["Dhanashree Sharma","Navratan Soni","Mukul Yadav","Meena Chandran","David Paul"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-04T10:57:01Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003522065-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.nexres.2026.101861","name":"Advancing herbal medicine: Integrating nanotechnology with traditional and Ayurvedic practices for enhanced therapeutics","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nexres.2026.101861","authors":["Kushagra Sharma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-07T23:40:43Z","doi":"10.1016/j.nexres.2026.101861","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1075/japc.25073.wib","name":"The herbal medicine we live by?","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This study addresses how Javanese kesarasan texts discursively construct cultural legitimacy for traditional herbal medicine ( jamu ), a practice central to indigenous health knowledge yet often marginalized by biomedical paradigms. By integrating Appraisal Theory with the Mixed Game Model, the research examines the evaluative language and dialogic strategies that negotiate authority between these knowledge systems. A qualitative discourse analysis of eight texts from Panjebar Semangat (2024–2025) reveals that legitimacy is built through a consistent pattern of unhedged positive Affect and Valuation, amplified by Graduation and asserted via monoglossic Engagement supported by communal attribution. These strategies function cooperatively to present jamu as an emotionally resonant, self-evident cultural truth, effectively closing dialogic space to competing perspectives. The study contributes a hybrid analytical framework to discourse analysis and offers practical insights for culturally sensitive health communication that acknowledges the persuasive architecture of traditional knowledge systems.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1075/japc.25073.wib","authors":["Agus Hari Wibowo","Bahtiar Mohamad","Riyadi Santosa","Tri Wiratno","Rara Sugiarti","Djatmika"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T13:46:12Z","doi":"10.1075/japc.25073.wib","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37766/inplasy2026.7.0120","name":"Yiqi Huoxue Chinese herbal medicine plus Western medicine versus Western medicine alone for diabetic peripheral vascular disease in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37766/inplasy2026.7.0120","authors":["qing chai","tianpeng feng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T00:38:45Z","doi":"10.37766/inplasy2026.7.0120","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003522065-8","name":"Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Trials of Herbal Medicines in the United States","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003522065-8","authors":["Pankaj Dagur","Naresh Rangra","Motseoa Grace Molefi","Ankita Jadhav","Manik Ghosh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-04T10:57:01Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003522065-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003522065-7","name":"Ethical Aspects of Clinical Trials of Herbal Medicines Across the Globe","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003522065-7","authors":["Tanya Ralli","Nitish Singh Jangwan","Swati Dobhal","Shradha Bisht","Mamta F.

It reviews literature on the scope and correlates of academic burnout and anxiety among Nigerian academics, job pressures, poor remuneration, and infrastructural deficiencies, and compares this with current evidence, both global and locally sourced, on the anxiolytic and adaptogenic mechanisms of botanical therapies. It was observed that, while global reviews of meta-analyses reported substantial anxiolytic properties for a number of botanicals (e.g., Melissa officinalis, Withania somnifera), empirical use of herbal remedies at Nigerian university sites is limited, and there are no substantial context-specific university trials. Significant research and theoretical voids exist, ranging from the absence of studies that link the use of herbal remedies and integrated therapies to objective parameters such as performance, job satisfaction and retention in universities, as well as concerns around issues of appropriate doses and combinations with standard conventional care, safety, and feasibility for implementing at large scales. This synthesis argues for the adoption of the principles of an integrated care model within Universities, which require clear policy guidelines, capacity-building efforts, and partnerships across sectors to translate these principles into action, alongside evidence-based interventions. Future evidence-based strategies, such as rigorous multi-site, well-designed, ethically sound studies to ascertain the underlying mechanisms and contextual drivers, as well as improvements in scholars' wellbeing and performance, will contribute to relevant policies for scholars.","url":"https://doi.org/10.29121/jahim.v6.i1.2026.101","authors":["Shaibu Leonard","Anisulowo Bukola Olumide"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-13T11:18:12Z","doi":"10.29121/jahim.v6.i1.2026.101","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.tl/2026.174","name":"Ginger-Derived Phytochemicals as Bioactive Nutraceuticals: Mechanisms of Action in Inflammation and Oxidative Stress","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.tl/2026.174","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T12:25:55Z","doi":"10.47278/book.tl/2026.174","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.47278/book.tl/2026.140","name":"Microbiota & Nutritional Needs of a Women over Life Span: from Menstruation to Menopause","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.47278/book.tl/2026.140","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-30T12:25:55Z","doi":"10.47278/book.tl/2026.140","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101123","name":"Decoding the bioactive landscape of five Astragalus species: chromatographic fingerprints and in vitro perspectives","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101123","authors":["Gokhan Zengin","Sakina Yagi","Alina Kalyniukova","Vasil Andruch","Paola Angelini","Giancarlo Angeles Flores","Gaia Cusumano","Roberto Venanzoni","Kubra Aslan","Ilhami Gulcin","Ozgur Yuksekdag","Ismail Koyuncu","Evren Yıldıztugay","Meng-Yao Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-17T16:35:38Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2026.101123","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3389/978-2-8325-7342-6","name":"Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases by Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/978-2-8325-7342-6","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-01-15T07:35:12Z","doi":"10.3389/978-2-8325-7342-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.010","name":"Charting a course for TCM revitalization and development","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.010","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-24T23:41:50Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.000Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4018/979-8-3373-7810-7.ch009","name":"Veterinary and Agricultural Perspectives","source":"crossref","abstract":"Due to the growing demand for residue-free food and sustainable production, there is renewed interest in plant-based solutions for disease control in livestock and crop systems. This chapter examines the use of natural antimicrobial agents, medicinal plants, to reduce dependence on synthetic antibiotics and pesticides. Botanicals such as Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum, Curcuma longa, and Aloe vera exhibit strong antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and immunomodulatory properties.

The effectiveness and safety of these natural remedies remain subjects of debate among medical professionals. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of herbal supplements used in testosterone treatment, addressing common myths and evaluating their efficacy based on current research and clinical experience. Objective The primary objective of this presentation is to assess the role of herbal medicine in testosterone treatment critically. I aim to identify evidence-based practices, understand potential drug-herb interactions, and evaluate the integration of these natural remedies with conventional treatments to improve patient outcomes. Methods Numerous peer-reviewed articles reviews were conducted, encompassing, clinical trials, and meta-analyses published over the past two decades. The focus was on herbal supplements commonly used for testosterone enhancement, including but not limited to Tribulus terrestris, Fenugreek, and Ashwagandha. Data on efficacy, safety, dosage, and patient-reported outcomes. Additionally, clinical insights on the use of herbal medicines for sexual dysfunction is presented. Results In the literature, there are mixed results regarding the efficacy of herbal supplements in testosterone treatment. Some studies demonstrated modest improvements in testosterone levels and related symptoms, while others showed no significant benefits compared to placebo. Safety profiles varied, with some herbs showing potential for adverse interactions with conventional medications. Clinical experience suggests’ using botanicals for testosterone treatment proper use of certain botanicals may show benefit in the right patient population. Conclusions Herbal supplements may offer benefits in testosterone treatment for certain patients, but their efficacy and safety are not universally supported by the evidence. Sexual medicine practitioners should approach these remedies with some caution, emphasizing evidence-based practices and considering potential interactions with conventional treatments. Further research is needed to establish standardized guidelines for the use of herbal medicine in testosterone management. This presentation will equip healthcare providers with the knowledge to navigate the complex landscape of herbal supplements, enabling them to offer informed, holistic care to their patients.

Indonesia dengan keanekaragaman hayatinya yang kaya menonjol sebagai negara dengan potensi besar dalam pengembangan dan pemanfaatan obat herbal, dengan lebih dari 2.850 spesies tanaman obat yang telah diidentifikasi. Meskipun memiliki potensi ini, penggunaan efektif obat herbal terhambat oleh kurangnya pendidikan dan informasi yang dapat diakses. Makalah ini memperkenalkan 'Peduli Herbal', sebuah aplikasi pasar dan konsultasi inovatif yang memanfaatkan teknologi pembelajaran mesin. Aplikasi ini bertujuan untuk mendukung praktik pengobatan herbal dengan menawarkan sumber daya pendidikan, opsi pembelian yang aman dan legal, serta informasi ilmiah untuk mengurangi kesalahpahaman tentang perawatan herbal. Aplikasi 'Peduli Herbal' menampilkan platform terintegrasi yang memberikan akses kepada pengguna untuk konsultasi ahli, konten edukasi, dan pasar untuk membeli produk herbal yang terverifikasi. Dengan memanfaatkan pembelajaran mesin, aplikasi ini menawarkan rekomendasi yang dipersonalisasi dan wawasan ilmiah terkini, memastikan pengguna menerima informasi yang andal. Implementasi aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan minat masyarakat terhadap obat herbal, mendukung perekonomian lokal, dan memaksimalkan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam Indonesia. Pada akhirnya, 'Peduli Herbal' bertujuan untuk menjembatani kesenjangan antara praktik herbal tradisional dan perawatan kesehatan modern, mempromosikan pendekatan holistik terhadap kesehatan dan kesejahteraan.","url":"https://doi.org/10.55116/spicm.v2i1.19","authors":["Suci Anastasya Khuzaifa","Nabilah Ar Rasyidah","Meryanti Ar Rasyidah"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-21T14:47:23Z","doi":"10.55116/spicm.v2i1.19","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z"},{"id":"doi:10.2174/9789815238129124030012","name":"Current Pharmacological Perspectives of Herbal Antidiabetic Drug Formulations","source":"crossref","abstract":"People of all ages are affected by the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Numerous synthetic medications have been developed to treat diabetes, which has become more common across the globe. These medications, while effective as antihyperglycemic medicines, come with a number of side effects. They are expensive and out of reach for the vast majority of people who live in underdeveloped nations. Due to their accessibility and harmless nature, medicinal plants have already been traditionally utilized to cure a variety of illnesses throughout history. Phytochemicals found in medicinal plants provide a number of health advantages. Healthcare professionals are looking into plant-based medicines as a potential supply of antidiabetic pharmaceuticals because of their high efficacy and lack of adverse effects as diabetes prevalence rises. The active phytoconstituents are being identified and thoroughly studied in order to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of action of therapeutic plants. Here, we focus on the perspectives of pharmacologically active phytomolecule formulations produced from medicinal plants that demonstrate antidiabetic action and the role they now play in managing and treating diabetes in the present scenario. These natural molecules might be suitable for developing new approaches to treatment or potent treatment options for diabetes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815238129124030012","authors":["Loushambam Samananda Singh","Peter De Roux Sumer","Bimal Debbarma","Phaibiang Lapasam","Innocent Sutnga"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-23T11:46:16Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815238129124030012","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100928","name":"Antimicrobial Activity and Phytochemistry of Psidium guajava Essential Oil From Palestine: Targeting Oral Microbial Strains","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100928","authors":["M.

This chapter explores the potential of herbal treatments for managing diarrhea in children, highlighting the therapeutic properties of plants such as ginger, peppermint, chamomile, raspberry leaf, and licorice root. The efficacy of these herbs is attributed to their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antispasmodic properties. However, the use of herbal treatments must be approached with caution, especially in children, due to potential side effects and interactions with other medications. This chapter emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before starting any herbal therapy.

In the elderly, it is estimated that 10% of males and 18% of women over the age of 60 are affected and its frequency and incidence are increasing in the present scenario. Herbal medicines appear to be safe and effective with antiosteoarthritic effects that help in increased alleviation of symptoms and/or impairment and consist of numerous phytochemicals that have been scientifically verified and confirmed with antiosteoarthritic activity. Currently, there is no definitive cure for osteoarthritis, and there are no effective therapies that can stop or halt the progression of the disease. However, there are a variety of therapies available, ranging from new to old. Intra-articular injections, topical treatments, and oral medicines are altogether FDA-approved replacements for surgery. These all modes of treatment may prove fatal sometimes and are not always successful. Herbal medicines have been utilized worldwide for the treatment of osteoarthritis. This review mainly focuses on the treatment approach of osteoarthritis with the herbal medicines available, because of the side effects and toxicities, and unwanted symptoms of the present treatments.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/2215083809666230308093244","authors":["Vikrant Verma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-03-09T11:19:36Z","doi":"10.2174/2215083809666230308093244","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.826Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100927","name":"Efficacy of Matricaria recutita (Chamomile) in the Prevention and/or Treatment of Oral Mucositis: Umbrella Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100927","authors":["A.M.I.

By integrating plant-derived compounds with nanotechnology, this approach addresses the limitations of conventional RA therapies. Nanoformulations of phytochemicals, such as curcumin, resveratrol, and quercetin, enable targeted drug delivery to inflamed joints, optimizing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing systemic side effects. Enhanced bioavailability, attributed to the encapsulation of phytochemicals within nanoparticles, facilitates improved pharmacokinetics and delivery across biological barriers. The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of phytochemicals are harnessed more effectively through nanoparticle-mediated sustained release, offering the potential to suppress inflammatory processes and mitigate joint damage. Furthermore, the cartilageprotective and regenerative capabilities of certain plant-derived compounds can be optimized with nanotechnology, promoting joint health. The versatility of phytonanotechnology allows for combination therapies, synergizing the benefits of multiple compounds and conventional drugs within nanoparticles. While these advancements hold substantial promise, further research is imperative to refine nanoparticle formulations, assess safety, and validate efficacy through preclinical and clinical studies, ultimately paving the way for transformative RA treatments in clinical practice.

According to authentic proof from Africa, smallpox immunization is at least 85% successful at avoiding monkeypox. Given the inadequate health infrastructure in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), it would be extremely challenging to implement vaccination as a regular component of immunization programs. Patients with monkeypox may experience complications, including bacterial superinfection, encephalitis, pneumonia, and conjunctivitis/keratitis. Seldom-recorded complications incorporate bronchopneumonia, spewing, and corneal scarring, leading to lasting visual deficiency.

Herbal therapy has become an intriguing focus of research in seeking effective and sustainable alternatives in lowering blood pressure. This literature review presents an analysis of seven scientific journals focusing on herbal therapy for hypertension. The study employs a Literature Review method by gathering articles from relevant journals. The review findings indicate that various herbal therapies, ranging from garlic combination herbal medicine, rosella flower decoction, green tea consumption, education on the use of gotu kola and turmeric leaves, to cucumber juice therapy, bay leaf, and papaya juice, have the potential to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The mechanisms of action of these herbs vary, including vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Based on the review of the seven published journals, it can be concluded that non-pharmacological therapy plays a significant role in hypertension treatment.

Many male infertility patients take empiric oral medications and/or zinc-containing supplements. Zinc is an important trace element, and its importance for male infertility has been reported. To evaluate their impact, zinc concentrations (Zc) were assessed, and the relationship between semen findings, infertility treatment, and outcome with assisted reproductive technology (ART) was examined. Methods Of the 4601 subjects who visited our male infertility unit between August 2020 and December 2024, 4389 were eligible, excluding those who were single, had not undergone semen analysis, and those taking both medication and supplements. Results Median serum Zc was 84.0 (75.0, 94.0) μg/dL. A total of 1209 participants (27.5%) were taking medications or supplements. Although differences in Zc were observed depending on the time of blood retrieval, no correlation was found between Zc and sperm count or motility. There was also no significant difference in Zc between different infertility diagnoses or between groups not taking oral medication and those taking other prescribed medications, herbal medicines, or zinc-containing supplements. As expected, the pregnancy rate was higher in those with normal semen findings, and no correlation was found between pregnancy and serum Zc. Conclusions This large cross-sectional study did not find any correlation between serum Zc and sperm parameters. Furthermore, no significant differences in Zc or pregnancy rates were observed with the intake of various oral medications or supplements.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42037906/","authors":["Hibi H","Tokoro M","Takizawa S","Asada Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar","doi":"10.7759/cureus.105863","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42036005","name":"Use of complementary health approaches and research interests among older adults in the COSMOS trial.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42036005/","authors":["Muñoz-Vergara D","Ma Y","Yang E","Park SJ","Burton WM","Kim E","Manson JE","Yeh GY","Wayne PM","Sesso HD"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug","doi":"10.1016/j.amjmed.2026.04.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:42034730","name":"Postbiotics combined with Caesalpinia sappan L. extract inhibit bovine mastitis bacterial pathogens, promote anti-inflammation and in vitro wound healing property.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42034730/","authors":["Kaewkod T","Mayer KO","Cheepchirasuk N","Chitov T","Panya A","Suriyasathaporn W","Tragoolpua Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 25","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-49761-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:42021145","name":"Comparison of some biological activities of essential oils and extracts (waste and non-waste) of two species used by people: Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. and Salvia reuteriana Boiss. from natural habitats of Kashan.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42021145/","authors":["Amanatkar E","Ghavam M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 22","doi":"10.1186/s12870-026-08773-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:42015011","name":"Callitriche cophocarpa as a biotechnological resource: optimizing in vitro cultures and elicitation to boost biologically active phenolic acids and phenylethanoid and iridoid glycosides.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42015011/","authors":["Makowski W","Augustynowicz J","Kołton A","Szopa A","Kubica P","Fidelus P","Kozina Z","Sroka J","Tokarz B","Tokarz KM","Labudda M","Królicka A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 21","doi":"10.1186/s12870-026-08807-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:42013627","name":"Kratom exposure cases reported to United States Poison Centers: 2016-July 2025.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Kratom has a long history of use internationally.

Across these classes, reported biological activities included antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic effects, and other activities. The result showed that after comparing available data, biological activity was largely associated with aglycone framework, while glycosylation mainly contributed to structural diversification and influenced physicochemical properties such as solubility and stability.

This study investigated the wound-healing activity of Salvia greggii A.Gray (Lamiaceae). Aerial parts were collected and extracted using different solvents. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu and colorimetric assays, respectively, while antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method. Extracts were screened for cell viability, and the most active fractions were evaluated using a scratch assay in human gingival fibroblasts. An in vivo excision wound model in rats was used to assess wound contraction over 14 days. The methanol extract showed the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents, whereas the ethyl acetate extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity. LC-MS analysis of the methanol fraction identified compounds including benzoic, rosmarinic, and ferulic acids. Methanol and chloroform extracts enhanced cell viability, and the methanol extract achieved over 90% wound closure in vitro. In vivo, methanol-treated wounds demonstrated 97.85% contraction and improved tissue regeneration. Additionally, the methanol extract significantly reduced mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (Tnf-α, Il-1β, and Il-6). These findings suggest that S. greggii, particularly its methanol extract, promotes wound healing through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41918333/","authors":["Hammad AM","Al-Hajjaj B","Aboalhaija N","Syaj H","Afifi F","Abusara OH"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1002/cbdv.202503045","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41913074","name":"Recycling of hazelnut waste: Antidiabetic properties of soy lecithin nanoparticles and their in vitro anti-proliferative effects in tumor cell lines.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41913074/","authors":["Temiz MA","Okumus E"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul","doi":"10.1002/jsfa.70615","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41912805","name":"Global, regional and national burden of ischemic heart disease attributable to suboptimal diet, 1990-2023: a Global Burden of Disease study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with dietary risks being its most significant modifiable factor. Here, using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2023, we estimated the mortality and disability-adjusted life years from diet-related IHD across 204 countries. In 2023, a suboptimal diet was responsible for 4.06 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 0.74-6.22) IHD deaths and 96.84 million (18.82-142.52) IHD disability-adjusted life years. The global age-standardized death rate of IHD attributable to suboptimal diet decreased by 43.92% (95% UI 34.44-53.23) per 100,000 population from 1990 to 2023. Among dietary factors, low intake of nuts and seeds (9.87, 95% UI 2.84-17.12 deaths per 100,000 population), low whole grains (9.22, 4.73-13.67), low fruits (7.25, 1.54-13.34) and high sodium (7.15, 0.92-17.97) were primary contributors to IHD deaths. The burden was particularly pronounced in low- and middle-sociodemographic index countries.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have emerged as a promising cell-free nanotherapeutic strategy for cardiac repair due to their ability to transfer bioactive molecules that modulate multiple signaling networks involved in myocardial survival and regeneration. This systematic review aimed to synthesize evidence on the mechanistic basis of MSC-derived exosome mediated cardioprotection in myocardial ischemic injury. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted to identify studies investigating the effects of MSC-derived exosomes on myocardial ischemic injury. Eligible studies included clinical and preclinical models of MI or I/R injury assessing functional, biochemical, and molecular outcomes. Results : Seven preclinical studies published between 2015 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria. Exosome administration consistently improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size, and preserved myocardial architecture. Biochemical analyses revealed decreased cardiac injury markers, alongside suppressed apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Mechanistically, MSC-derived exosomes delivered regulatory miRNAs (e.g., miR-19a, miR-125b, miR-205, miR-294) and lncRNAs (HAND2-AS1) that modulated key signaling pathways including PI3K/Akt, JAK2/STAT3, HAND2-AS1/miR-17-5p/Mfn2, and HIF-1α/VEGF. These molecular effects collectively inhibited apoptotic and inflammatory responses, enhanced mitochondrial integrity, and promoted angiogenesis and myocardial repair. Conclusions: MSC-derived exosomes confer robust cardioprotection against myocardial ischemic injury through integrated anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic mechanisms. Their multifaceted bioactivity, low immunogenicity, and potential for targeted delivery highlight their potential as a next-generation nanomedicine for ischemic heart disease. Future studies should emphasize standardized exosome production, mechanistic profiling, and translational validation in large-animal and clinical models.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41900832/","authors":["Othman Basri NA","Che Roos NA","Aminuddin A","A Hamid A","Hui CK","Mahadi MK","Kumar J","Ugusman A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 11","doi":"10.3390/pharmaceutics18030346","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41900825","name":"Distributed Pharmacodynamic Architecture in Multi-Component Herbal Formulations: A Flux-Based Framework for Redox-Heterogeneous Diseases.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41900825/","authors":["Park MN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 10","doi":"10.3390/pharmaceutics18030339","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41900284","name":"Dietary Administration of a Soybean Fermented Preparation Reshapes Gut Microbial Community Structure and Colonic Mucosal Features in BALB/c Mice.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41900284/","authors":["Kwon H","Seo JW","Jeong M","Kim Y","Chang CL","Kim JH","Choi GE"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 24","doi":"10.3390/microorganisms14030524","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41898537","name":"Endarachne binghamiae Extract Alleviates Colitis by Suppressing NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation via Regulation of NOX-iNOS Crosstalk.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41898537/","authors":["Lee SS","Lee SH","Kim SY","Lee BH","Yoo YC"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 14","doi":"10.3390/ijms27062674","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41896644","name":"Integrated metabolomic, network pharmacological, and molecular docking analyses comparing the therapeutic effects of Strobilanthes sarcorrhiza from different origins.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41896644/","authors":["Xie W","Gao H","Zhu Z","Xu X","Ying Y","Yan Y","Ding L","Wu G"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 27","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-44698-9","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41894346","name":"Integrated Pharmacology, Correlation Analysis, and Network Pharmacology: A Combined Strategy for Discovering and Validating Antidepressant Q-Markers of Yueju Wan.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41894346/","authors":["Li J","Wu S","Yang B","Wang H","Liu X","Diao G","Lin X","Ren G","Zou X","Qu Z"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar","doi":"10.1002/cbdv.202502996","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41893890","name":"A bibliometric analysis of global research on plant-derived antimicrobials targeting Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2004-2024).","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41893890/","authors":["Cabuhat KSP","Fortaleza JAG","Ong CJN","Nazari R","Jalova AC","Mortel FA","Bacalzo GD","Nuevo JJM"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jul 7","doi":"10.1556/1886.2026.00008","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41893216","name":"Inorganic and Erythroxylum coca Leaf Extract-Mediated Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles: A Comparative Study of Size, Surface Chemistry, and Colloidal Stability.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41893216/","authors":["Ramos-Guivar JA","Lizana-Segama HD","Marcos-Carrillo MDP","Checca-Huaman NR"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 10","doi":"10.3390/nano16060341","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41892437","name":"Clinical Potential of Essential Oils: Cytotoxicity, Selectivity Index and Antimicrobial Activity Against Gram-Negative ESKAPEE Pathogens.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41892437/","authors":["Belete BB","Ozkan J","Kalaiselvan P","Yasir M","Willcox M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 6","doi":"10.3390/antibiotics15030274","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"pmid:41892039","name":"Electrochemical Sensor of Ciprofloxacin on Screen-Printed Electrode Modified with Boron-Doped Diamond Nanoparticles and Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Biosynthesized Using Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.

Dengzhan shengmai (DZSM), a plant-based formulation clinically used in the management of cerebrovascular diseases, possesses documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its effects on UC are unclear. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanism of DZSM in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis model. Our results showed that DZSM significantly alleviated UC-related parameters. Mechanistically, DZSM remodeled gut microbiota dysbiosis, specifically enriching the abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria and elevating colonic levels of SCFAs. Notably, butyrate upregulated the expression of the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 1 (SVCT1) in colonic epithelial cells, thereby enhancing cellular vitamin C (VitC) uptake. The accumulated VitC synergized with butyrate to exert potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, further reinforcing epithelial barrier function. Importantly, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) confirmed that the protective effects of DZSM on UC were achieved by modulating gut microbiota, at least partially. Collectively, our findings demonstrate for the first time that DZSM alleviates DSS-induced colitis in mice through a novel butyrate-SVCT1-VitC axis driven by gut microbiota remodeling, providing new mechanistic insights into the microbiota-dependent efficacy of plant-based medicine.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41828467/","authors":["Shen H","Yu X","Wang Z","Zhou S","Jiang J","Guo H","Han Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 27","doi":"10.3390/ijms27052245","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41826942","name":"Antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and phytochemical analysis of South African medicinal plants collected from the Senwabarwana area, Limpopo province.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"BACKGROUND: The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of many microorganisms to conventional antibiotics poses a serious threat to human health. The situation is further compounded by the development of tumours arising from complex infections and vice versa due to an immunocompromised immune system. The objective of the study is to assess the antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and phytochemical components of the selected medicinal plants’ extracts. METHODS: The microdilution broth assay was used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the organic extracts against food-borne and human-infecting pathogens. Additionally, the anti-proliferative effects of the extracts were evaluated in vitro using a tetrazolium-based calorimetric (MTT) assay against a line of human colorectal carcinoma (Caco-2), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and human cervical cancer cells (HeLa). Additionally, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), and possible iron chelation were used to measure the extracts’ antioxidant activity. Gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) was used to evaluate the phytochemical analysis. RESULTS: Talinum caffrum (Thumb. Eckl. & Zeyhr.) extract exhibited the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.05 mg/ml against Salmonella arizonae, while extracts from Cassia abbreviata Oliv. subsp. beareana (Holmes) Brenan and Peltophorum africanum Sond. exhibited a similar MIC value against Shigella flexneri. P. africanum extracts exhibited a potent inhibition of the MCF-7 cell line, yielding an IC50 value of 1.80 µg/ml. In comparison, T. caffrum extracts exhibited an LC50 value of 5.66 µg/ml against the HeLa cell line and a notable LC50 value of 1.12 and 1.11 µg/ml against DPPH and Fe2+, respectively. The organic extract from T. caffrum contains 4-methyl-2,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl) pent-1-ene (20.803%), 2-furancarboxylic acid, 2-methylbutyl ester (16.909%), and 2-methylbutyl ester (13.702%). CONCLUSION: The selected medicinal plants exhibited a potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activity. The observed results, in a way, support the use of the selected medicinal plant species in treating various infections, as complementary and alternative medicines, particularly against opportunistic microbes and cancer by improving and supporting the immune system through many means, such as quenching free radicals, alleviating tumour and microbial growth.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41826942/","authors":["Mongalo NI","Magwaza N","Raletsena MV"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar

Today, men have to deal with a lot of stress and struggle to meet the virtual expectations set by myriad factors. As a result, erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) are becoming relatively common. While different products claim to treat erectile dysfunction successfully, it is hard to tell whether they are safe or not. There are several guidelines on ED treatment that the American Urological Association recommends that men be aware of. Anyone with ED symptoms must undergo thorough medical, sexual, physical, and psychosocial assessments. In some males, erectile dysfunction can indicate underlying cardiovascular disease. Erectile dysfunction is a complicated condition, and people suffering from ED must complete questionnaires to help guide the most suitable treatment plans.

Any supplement is as effective as its ingredients and formulation. ManUp Gummies system works with a few simple steps and does not require any additional adjustments to be effective. Formulated from 9 organic libido enhancers, the researchers narrowed on the most effective aphrodisiac and erection precursors for this male enhancement supplement. All these ingredients bind together in a potent blend to help improve sexual performance naturally. This supplement improves male sexual performance and overall health by enhancing testosterone levels and increasing sex drive. As a result of its effect, males experience increased stamina, intense arousal, and long-lasting and stronger erections. Apart from erection precursors, ManUp Gummies also contains vitamins, mineral extracts, and herbal extracts that stimulate the production of enzymes. Its significant impact is on erectile dysfunction. The primary reason for the issue is a lack of blood flow in the penis. The natural ingredients present in these male enhancement gummies boost nitric oxide levels in the bloodstream. As a result, penis muscles relax, which results in maximum blood flow. The increased nitric oxide levels also expand blood vessels which improves the quality of erections and the duration.

Additionally, there are concerns about side effects of many medications and interventions, the unsustainable cost of healthcare and the low resolution of chronic non-communicable diseases and mental disorders whose incidence has risen in the last decades. Besides, the chronic stress and burnout of many healthcare professionals impairs the therapeutic relationship. These circumstances call for a change in the current paradigm and practices of biomedicine healthcare. Most of the world population (80%) uses some form of traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (T&CM), usually alongside biomedicine. Patients seem equally satisfied with biomedicine and T&CM, but in the field of T&CM there are also many challenges, such as unsupported claims for safety and/or efficacy, contamination of herbal medicines and problems with regulation and quality standards. As biomedicine and T&CM seem to have different strengths and weaknesses, integration of both approaches may be beneficial. Indeed, WHO has repeatedly called upon member states to work on the integration of T&CM into healthcare systems. Integrative medicine (IM) is an approach that offers a paradigm for doing so. It combines the best of both worlds (biomedicine and T&CM), based on evidence for efficacy and safety, adopting a holistic personalized approach, focused on health. In the last decades academic health centers are increasingly supportive of IM, as evidenced by the foundation of national academic consortia for integrative medicine in Brazil (2017), the Netherlands (2018), and Germany (2024) besides the pioneering American consortium (1998). However, the integration process is slow and sometimes met with criticism and even hostility. The WHO T&CM strategies (2002–2005 and 2014–2023) have provided incipient guidance on the integration process, but several challenges are yet to be addressed. This policy review proposes several possible solutions, including the establishment of a global matrix of academic consortia for IM, to update and extend the WHO T&CM strategy, that is currently under review.","url":"https://doi.org/10.17615/62ry-pa18","authors":["Gallego-Perez D","Simmons S","Portella C","Locke A","Ghelman R","Hoenders R","Jong M","Cramer H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.17615/62ry-pa18","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"doi:10.34734/fzj-2024-00657","name":"Cardiac effects of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE","source":"datacite","abstract":"Synthetic cannabinoids become increasingly popular as a supposedly safe and legal alternative to cannabis. In order to circumvent the German New Psychoactive Substances Law, producers of so-called herbal mixtures rapidly design new substances with structural alterations that are not covered by the law. Acting as full agonists not only at the cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2, synthetic cannabinoids might have not only desired mental but also serious physical adverse effects. However, knowledge of adverse effects of specific substances is sparse and incomplete. This also accounts for 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE, a synthetic cannabinoid, which has been detected regularly in Germany in recent years. By using an animal model, the isolated perfused Langendorff heart, the study at hand aimed on finding out more about possible cardiovascular adverse effects of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE. Hearts of male Wistar rats, which were excised postmortem, were exposed to two different concentrations of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE: 13 hearts were exposed to 50 ng/ml and 12 hearts were exposed to 100 ng/ml. Thirteen control hearts were merely exposed to an additional amount of buffer solution. Functional parameters heart rate, minimal and maximum left ventricular pressure and coronary flow were documented at pre-defined time points during and after the administration of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE/additional buffer solution. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were documented throughout the experiments and evaluated afterwards. Kruskal–Wallis analysis was performed for each functional parameter as well as for the duration of the QRS complexes and the duration of RR intervals as derived from the ECGs. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis, comprising all functional and ECG parameters, was performed. Kruskal–Wallis analysis revealed only single significant p-values for QRS duration and minimum left ventricular pressure that did not pass a Bonferroni test. The results of the multivariate approach were also comparably homogeneous, but still the model correctly recognized hearts exposed to 100 ng/ml of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE more often than hearts exposed to the low concentration of 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE or additional buffer solution. Evaluation of the ECGs presented single cases of ST depression and QT prolongation. Though certainly not unambiguous, these findings support the assumption that 5F-Cumyl-PEGACLONE can cause severe, if not lethal, cardiac adverse effects like arrhythmias or myocardial infarctions especially if it is consumed in combination with other drugs like alcohol or if the consumer suffers from pre-existing heart diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.34734/fzj-2024-00657","authors":["Esdar, Nicole","Pawlik, Evelyn","Eickhoff, Simon B.","Raupach, Annika","Ritz-Timme, Stefanie","Mayer, Felix"],"tags":["610"],"confidence":0.66,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024","doi":"10.34734/fzj-2024-00657","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.828Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.10677031","name":"A TIBETAN DOCTOR COLLECTS MEDICINAL HERBS in MTSHO LHO, A MDO","source":"datacite","abstract":"A TIBETAN DOCTOR COLLECTS MEDICINAL HERBS in MTSHO LHO, A MDO Film by བཀྲ་ཤིས་རྒྱ་མཚོ། Bkra shis rgya mtsho (Zhaxijiancuo 扎西尖措), photographer, writer, editor, using an iPhone 12 Pro Max) Monday, July 24, 2023 - 90:46 A.M. to 6:59 P.M.

This documentary features a Tibetan local doctor collecting herbs at 34 °48'6\" latitude, 100°40'12\" longitude, 4,493 MASL on Ba wo Mountain, Rmog dkar (Muhe) Village, Zhol ma (Xiuma) Town, 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China. Part One Introduction Lha snang gyal, was born in 1979 in #3 Brigade, Klu lung (Lilun) Village, Thang mgo (Tanggu) Town, 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China. After completing local primary school, he spent a couple of years at home assisting his parents herd livestock. At eighteen, he began to study Tibetan Four Medical Tantras under the guidance of his paternal uncle, Thub bstan dam chos 'od zer (1966-2019), a local scholar-monk. Subsequently, he gained clinical experience for three years at a local County Tibetan hospital (Tong de xian zang yi yuan), working alongside Dr. Mkhar 'bum gyal, specializing in ear-related cases. For an additional two years, he served at the Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Tibetan Hospital (Qing hai sheng zang yi yuan), collaborating with his paternal uncle, Blo 'ba' (b. 1948), in the Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Infectious Diseases departments. In 2005, with Blo 'ba', he established a branch of the Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Tibetan Hospital in 'Ba' thang, his home area, where he worked for three years. Concurrently, he pursued his education, graduating from Chab cha Technical School's Medical Department (Hai nan zhou zhi ye ji shu xue xiao) in 2009 and Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Medical University (Qing hai da xue yi xue yuan) in 2011. Following academic achievements, he worked for two years at Sde dge zhe chen sman khang kun phan bde skyid gling, also known as Sde dge zhe chen Tibetan Medicine Clinic (De ge xie qing li zhong fu le yi yuan), located in Zhe chen (Xieqing) Monastery, Rdzogs chen (Zuoqin) Township, Sde dge (Dege) County, Dkar mdzes (Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Si khron (Sichuan) Province. In 2014, Lha snang gyal successfully passed an examination and obtained the National Doctor Qualification Certificate. In 2015, he acquired a National Medical Practice Certificate. In 2016, he returned to 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) and established a private clinic-'Sapphire Tibetan Clinic' (La rou jia zang yi zhen suo) in the local County Town. Afterward, he has been committed to providing quality healthcare services for the community. Collecting Herbs on the MountainThis morning, we prepared bread and beverages for lunch. I (b. 1983) joined my brother, Lha snang rgyal; sister-in-law, Nyi ma lha mo (b.1996); and nephew Bsod nams bkra shis (b. 2014). We traveled 115 kilometers to collect cochelaria scapiflora hook. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this particular herb. Instead, we gathered around 20 kilograms of lagotis crassifolia in two plastic bags with two small hoes. A year earlier, we also came to this area and collected herbs near Ra rgya Town. The collection took place on the mountain from 1:10 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., during which we also had lunch. Upon returning to the foot of the mountain, we washed all the herbs in a stream. Herb Collection Guidelines Selecting the Date: Every year, the first day of herb collection should be chosen based on the Tibetan lunisolar calendar, specifically opting for a day with the “Water-Water combination.” This day is auspicious, as the double encounter of water brings together nectar, enhancing life's force.

This documentary features a Tibetan local doctor collecting herbs at 34 °48'6\" latitude, 100°40'12\" longitude, 4,493 MASL on Ba wo Mountain, Rmog dkar (Muhe) Village, Zhol ma (Xiuma) Town, 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China. Part One Introduction Lha snang gyal, was born in 1979 in #3 Brigade, Klu lung (Lilun) Village, Thang mgo (Tanggu) Town, 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China. After completing local primary school, he spent a couple of years at home assisting his parents herd livestock. At eighteen, he began to study Tibetan Four Medical Tantras under the guidance of his paternal uncle, Thub bstan dam chos 'od zer (1966-2019), a local scholar-monk. Subsequently, he gained clinical experience for three years at a local County Tibetan hospital (Tong de xian zang yi yuan), working alongside Dr. Mkhar 'bum gyal, specializing in ear-related cases. For an additional two years, he served at the Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Tibetan Hospital (Qing hai sheng zang yi yuan), collaborating with his paternal uncle, Blo 'ba' (b. 1948), in the Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Infectious Diseases departments. In 2005, with Blo 'ba', he established a branch of the Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Tibetan Hospital in 'Ba' thang, his home area, where he worked for three years. Concurrently, he pursued his education, graduating from Chab cha Technical School's Medical Department (Hai nan zhou zhi ye ji shu xue xiao) in 2009 and Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Provincial Medical University (Qing hai da xue yi xue yuan) in 2011. Following academic achievements, he worked for two years at Sde dge zhe chen sman khang kun phan bde skyid gling, also known as Sde dge zhe chen Tibetan Medicine Clinic (De ge xie qing li zhong fu le yi yuan), located in Zhe chen (Xieqing) Monastery, Rdzogs chen (Zuoqin) Township, Sde dge (Dege) County, Dkar mdzes (Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Si khron (Sichuan) Province. In 2014, Lha snang gyal successfully passed an examination and obtained the National Doctor Qualification Certificate. In 2015, he acquired a National Medical Practice Certificate. In 2016, he returned to 'Ba' rdzong (Tongde) and established a private clinic-'Sapphire Tibetan Clinic' (La rou jia zang yi zhen suo) in the local County Town. Afterward, he has been committed to providing quality healthcare services for the community. Collecting Herbs on the MountainThis morning, we prepared bread and beverages for lunch. I (b. 1983) joined my brother, Lha snang rgyal; sister-in-law, Nyi ma lha mo (b.1996); and nephew Bsod nams bkra shis (b. 2014). We traveled 115 kilometers to collect cochelaria scapiflora hook. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this particular herb. Instead, we gathered around 20 kilograms of lagotis crassifolia in two plastic bags with two small hoes. A year earlier, we also came to this area and collected herbs near Ra rgya Town. The collection took place on the mountain from 1:10 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., during which we also had lunch. Upon returning to the foot of the mountain, we washed all the herbs in a stream. Herb Collection Guidelines Selecting the Date: Every year, the first day of herb collection should be chosen based on the Tibetan lunisolar calendar, specifically opting for a day with the “Water-Water combination.” This day is auspicious, as the double encounter of water brings together nectar, enhancing life's force.

A 24year old male patient presented OPD with complaints of high-grade fever with chills, and perianal infection which is characterized by localized pain, swelling and pus discharge. As per present comlaints and clinical features it was diagnosed as Sannipata Jwara associated with Dushta Vrana. Palashadi Lepa is prepared from Palasha pushpa (flowers of Butea Monosperma) and Nimba Tamra Pallava (Tender leaves of Azadirachta indica), and was freshly applied over forehead at 6 hours interval over two consecutive days. The thickness of lepa was 4-5mm (Ardramahisha Charma), resulting in a rapid reduction in temperature after each application. The first reading dropped from 102.6°F to 100.2°F within one hour (2.4°F reduction) and further decreased to 97.9°F by the third hour (4.7°F reduction). The patient reported relief without any side effects such as itching, redness or skin irritation. The therapeutic action of the ingredients is attributed to the anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and immunomodulatory effects, facilitated by transdermal absorption through hair follicles and swedavaha srotas. The rapid onset of action and absence of adverse effects support the potential of Palashadi Lepa as a safe, fast-acting intervention for fever. However, as this report is based on a single case, Further clinical studies are recommended to validate efficacy and explore broader therapeutic applications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.5455/aam.298474","authors":["Ratikant Birajdar","Sreevisakh S","Yash Mishra"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-29T19:48:49Z","doi":"10.5455/aam.298474","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.70609/g-tech.v10i2.9310","name":"Analysis of GSI Herbal Medicine Product Sales Strategy Using SWOT Matrix and QSPM Methods","source":"crossref","abstract":"In its efforts, Jamu GSI HERBAL products are only marketed to the surrounding community and are unable to compete with health products that offer instant solutions.

The SWOT analysis identified 5 strengths, 3 weaknesses, 3 opportunities, and 3 threats. The results of the IFE (3.86) and EFE (3.67) matrices placed the company in the Grow and Build position. The QSPM analysis set the main priority on ST 1 (score 6.76): increasing hygienic production through a partnership with the Health Office and diversifying variants (syrup/candy). This research emphasizes that legal standardization (BPOM, BPJPH, HKI) is key to transforming MSMEs toward modern markets.

Long‑term ART is limited by drug toxicity, resistance, metabolic complications, cost, and adherence barriers, particularly in low‑ and middle‑income countries, prompting interest in complementary approaches. This narrative review examines the role of herbal and herbomineral formulations in HIV management, with emphasis on their pharmacological basis, preclinical and clinical evidence, and safety in the context of concomitant ART. Many medicinal plants and traditional polyherbal preparations exhibit in vitro anti‑HIV activity by targeting viral entry, reverse transcriptase, integrase, protease, and cell‑to‑cell transmission, while immunomodulatory, also antioxidant, providing and anti‑inflammatory effects that may support host defense. Herbomineral formulations derived from Ayurveda and Siddha, including Shilajatu Rasayana and mercuric‑sulphide–based preparations, show preliminary evidence of improving CD4 counts and clinical status, although data are limited and heterogeneous. Clinical trials and observational studies of Chinese, Indian, and African herbal formulations report symptom relief and modest immunological or virological benefits, but sample sizes, design quality, and outcome reporting constrain firm conclusions. Overall, current evidence supports the use of standardized herbal and herbomineral formulations only as adjuncts to ART, with careful consideration of herb–drug interactions and a clear need for well‑designed randomized trials and robust safety evaluation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.58532/nbennuradd10","authors":["Malarvizhi Kootharasan"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-13T07:28:30Z","doi":"10.58532/nbennuradd10","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/hm9.0000000000000184","name":"The beneficial effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine on diabetic retinopathy: mechanisms, therapeutics, and prospects","source":"crossref","abstract":"Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular sequela of diabetes mellitus. Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to progressive retinal microvascular damage, thereby increasing the risk of visual impairment and irreversible blindness. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has historically been effective against diabetes and related diseases such as retinopathy. It treats DR based on syndrome differentiation, with individualized regimens tailored to patients’ specific conditions and physical constitutions. This review discusses the pathogenesis of DR in modern medicine and TCM. It also summarizes four therapies for DR, including formulas, Chinese herbs, active components, and acupuncture. We systematically gathered and arranged the pertinent literature on DR from various databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. We analyzed and summarized research advances in TCM for the treatment of DR. Moreover, the GSE60436 dataset was chosen to dissect the variations in gene expression and signaling pathways connected to DR, employing Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway database. Bioinformatics studies have indicated a potential link between the development of DR and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) and advanced glycation end products (AGE)-receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) pathways. At the same time, we emphasized the cutting-edge targets and strategies for DR treatment interventions. TCM exhibits a distinctive therapeutic efficacy in preventing and treating ocular conditions and mitigating DR via various mechanisms and routes. According to the principle of holistic treatment based on syndrome differentiation in TCM, choosing appropriate TCM treatments has the advantage of improving the clinical efficacy and mitigating adverse effects of Western medications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hm9.0000000000000184","authors":["Tao Lin","Chen Chen","Lichun Zhao","Hongyan Zhu","Wei Li"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-02-02T15:00:38Z","doi":"10.1097/hm9.0000000000000184","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.51470/atm.2026.5.1.28","name":"Therapeutic Potential of Herbal and Natural Product-Based Pharmaceuticals in Modern Healthcare Systems","source":"crossref","abstract":"Herbal and natural product-based pharmaceuticals have played a fundamental role in healthcare systems throughout human history and continue to serve as important sources of therapeutic agents in modern medicine. A substantial proportion of currently used pharmaceuticals are either directly derived from natural products or developed from naturally occurring bioactive compounds. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, adverse effects associated with synthetic drugs, and increasing public interest in complementary and alternative medicine have renewed scientific attention toward plant-derived therapeutics. Herbal medicines contain diverse phytochemicals including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, polyphenols, and essential oils that exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities. Recent advances in phytochemistry, biotechnology, metabolomics, nanotechnology, and drug delivery systems have enhanced the efficacy, safety, and clinical applicability of herbal pharmaceuticals. Natural products have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in the management of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. Despite their growing acceptance, challenges related to standardization, quality control, safety evaluation, regulatory frameworks, and clinical validation remain significant barriers to broader integration into mainstream healthcare.

It arises from multiple factors, including ovulatory disorders, hormonal imbalances, uterine abnormalities, tubal pathologies, endocrine dysfunctions, lifestyle factors, and psychological stress. Ayurveda describes infertility under the concept of Vandhyatva, wherein successful conception depends on the proper functioning of Ritu (fertile period), Kshetra (healthy reproductive organs), Beeja (ovum and sperm), and Ambu (nutritional support). Disturbances in these factors, along with doshic imbalance and impairment of reproductive tissues, can lead to infertility. Herbal therapy offers a holistic and individualized approach to female infertility management by addressing the root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. Medicinal plants such as Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), and Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) have been traditionally used to regulate hormonal balance, improve ovulation, enhance uterine health, reduce stress, and support reproductive functions. Ayurvedic formulations including Phalaghrita, Ashokarishta, and Shatavari Churna further contribute to fertility enhancement. This chapter highlights the role of herbal therapy in female infertility, emphasizing its mechanisms of action, therapeutic benefits, and relevance as a safe, cost-effective, and holistic strategy for improving reproductive health and fertility outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.58532/nbennureptib5c4","authors":["Dr. Dibya Sankar Samal","Anusuya Behera"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-07-23T10:25:33Z","doi":"10.58532/nbennureptib5c4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.013","name":"Generative models in traditional Chinese medicine: advances and applications","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.013","authors":["Dezhi Sun","Cheng Zhang","Guangsen Li","Yangyi Hu","Shuman Li","Wei Zhou","Yue Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-08-25T16:04:57Z","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2026.08.013","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/flora.2026.v14.i1a.1057","name":"Aftimoon (Cuscuta reflexa Roxb.): Traditional uses, pharmacological actions, and scientific evidence in unani medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/flora.2026.v14.i1a.1057","authors":["Yasmeen Khan","Abudullah .","Md.

For this review, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and major Chinese academic databases for clinical and mechanistic studies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interventions for COPD, emphasizing evidence relevant to the stable phase, acute exacerbation phase, and first 8 weeks after an exacerbation, termed the acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) risk window phase. Evidence from randomized trials and evidence syntheses indicates that adjunctive herbal formulae, Chinese patent medicines, acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint-based interventions, and traditional Chinese exercise therapy may improve symptoms, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), pulmonary-function indices, quality of life, and selected exacerbation-related outcomes. Multicenter trials have also reported benefits of syndrome-based sequential treatment during acute exacerbation and the subsequent risk window. Mechanistic studies suggest coordinated regulation of inflammatory and oxidative-stress pathways, immune homeostasis, epithelial-barrier integrity, mucus hypersecretion, apoptosis, and airway remodeling. However, confidence in these findings is limited by heterogeneous syndrome definitions and intervention protocols, small samples, incomplete blinding and allocation reporting, and insufficient long-term follow-up. Future research should prioritize standardized diagnostic criteria and outcomes, rigorously designed multicenter trials, and translational studies that link in vivo active substances and molecular targets to clinically meaningful outcomes.

The research highlights the holistic nature of Ghanaian healing, where the physical, spiritual, and social aspects of health are deeply connected. It reveals the ongoing blending, especially the mixing of herbal and spiritual healing across different religions, despite the challenges from colonial history and current conflicts with biomedical models. The findings show how religious institutions can both legitimize and marginalize traditional medicine. For example, Pentecostal Christianity often dismisses herbal practices, while Islam has impacted traditional medical practices and philosophy tremendously. However, the persistent use of herbal medicine highlights its deep cultural roots and its important role in addressing complex health needs in Ghana.

Health food stores (38.1%) and home cultivation (29.1%) were the leading sources of herbal products. One major finding: more than half (50.8%) never tell their doctors they use herbs. While 30% of participants recognized the potential for negative drug-herb interactions, a majority (60%) remained neutral, indicating a gap in definitive knowledge. The widespread use of herbal medicine in Zawia, coupled with low levels of disclosure to healthcare providers and limited awareness of potential interactions, highlights an urgent need for public health education and enhanced pharmaceutical care. Integrating traditional practices into formal healthcare consultations is essential to ensure patient safety and optimize therapeutic outcomes.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54361/ajmas.269528","authors":["Ebtesam Beshna"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-05-18T12:44:10Z","doi":"10.54361/ajmas.269528","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:17.845Z"},{"id":"doi:10.29121/jahim.v6.i1.2026.86","name":"AL-ENABLED COMPUTATIONAL STRATEGIES IN HERBAL DRUG DISCOVERY: MOLECULAR DOCKING, NETWORK PHARMACOLOGY, AND PREDICTIVE MODELING","source":"crossref","abstract":"The AI technology causes a big change that affects all the old ways of making herbal medicine. The evaluation study employs three scientific methodologies: molecular docking, network pharmacology, and predictive modeling, to ascertain the application of AI technology in scientific research.

The review highlights plant sources rich in these compounds, particularly banana species, and discusses innovative extraction and identification methods, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), HPLC, and GC-MS. Emphasis is placed on the valorization of agricultural waste as a sustainable source of neuroactive compounds, which supports a circular bioeconomy. Potential applications in treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson&#39;s and depression are discussed, along with the toxicological considerations of excessive BA accumulation. This review aims to provide insight into the isolation, application, and future potential of BAs from herbal and waste materials for therapeutic and ecological benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202505.1292.v1","authors":["Emanual Michael Patelia","Varsha Jagdish Galani"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-05-19T02:18:33Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202505.1292.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100981","name":"Exploiting in vitro gastric acid-neutralising synergy between Desmodium triflorum (L.)

Sustainability issues are particularly relevant for herbal medicine companies because they use green and sustainable natural ingredients upstream and strive to help consumers who consume their products achieve sustainable health downstream. This study explores key trends and future research directions using bibliometric analysis with biblioshiny methods, including word cloud, tree map, co-occurrence network, factorial analysis, and thematic mapping. The study examines cross-country collaboration through a world map. The findings highlight management strategy, innovation, and efficiency as core themes supporting corporate sustainability. The co-occurrence network emphasizes the role of strategic management in performance, while the tree map identifies impact, capability, and market orientation as key factors. Factorial analysis distinguishes conceptual themes such as corporate sustainability from practical applications such as financial performance. Developed countries, especially China and the USA, dominate the research, with limited contributions from developing countries. The study shows that innovative strategies, efficiency, and green technology enhance sustainability and performance. Future research should explore green supply chains, sustainability measurement, and stronger collaboration with developing countries for holistic solutions.

It is widespread and has become a global problem, with a prevalence rate of 20% of women developing at least one pelvic mass in their lifetime. Although they can develop at any age, ovarian cysts are more common in men-arching females because of the production of endogenous hormones. A cross-sectional study found that 8% of new simple cysts developed within a year. After 1 year of screening, only 54% of people retained cysts, whereas 32% had no cysts. In this case, a 25-year-old patient attended the outpatient department on April 01, 2024 with complaints of pain in the epigastric region and lower part of the abdomen along with difficulty in digestion and burning sensation in micturition from the past 3 months. She was advised for an ultrasonography (USG) of the abdomen, which showed the presence of an anechoic lesion of size about 46.5 mm × 43.5 mm in the left ovary with no evidence of internal septations and peritoneal fluid, suggesting a simple left ovarian cyst.

This condition affects approximately 8-10% of women of reproductive age, with its prevalence rising to about 40-50% among women experiencing infertility. It is a chronic disease that causes severe pelvic pain, inflammation, and increases the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and severe hemorrhage during delivery. Numerous studies have highlighted the potential of alternative herbal treatments, emphasizing their role due to properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenic effects. This current study was based on field visits to the Al-Yaqeen Center in the city of Tripoli. A questionnaire was designed to collect data from patients. The study included a sample of 30 married women with endometriosis, spanning different age groups: Group 1 (20-25 years), Group 2 (25-30 years), Group 3 (30-35 years), and Group 4 (35 years and above). The study's temporal scope was the period from May 29, 2024, to January 30, 2025. The highest proportion of participants was in the age group of 35 years and above (47%), while the lowest proportion was in the 20-25 years age group (10%). A statistically significant difference was observed between the age groups, with a p-value of 0.047, which is below the significance level of 0.05. Regarding treatment duration, the highest proportion received treatment for 3-4 months (43%), whereas the lowest proportion was for a treatment duration of (1-2) months at a rate of (20%), with no statistically significant differences found for the treatment duration (p-value = 0.073). The highest rate concerning years of infertility was (6-11) years at (47%), while the lowest rate was (12 years or more) at (23%), with a statistically significant difference (p-value = 0.018). The objectives of this study are to define the disease, raise awareness among women about its risks, and encourage early diagnosis due to its negative consequences. Furthermore, it aims to highlight the effectiveness of medicinal herbs. Herbal treatments typically involved formulations ranging from 10 to 20 components, with the use of some demonstrating effectiveness in alleviating pain, inhibiting tissue migration, and reducing estrogen production.","url":"https://doi.org/10.54361/ajmas.2584102","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-12-11T14:14:17Z","doi":"10.54361/ajmas.2584102","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1155/crop/8657147","name":"Acute Central Toxic Keratopathy Induced by Exposure to Chinese Herbal Medicine Fluid for Verruca Plana: A Case Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a case of acute central toxic keratopathy due to exposure to Chinese herbal medicine fluid treating verruca plana. Methods: A 46‐year‐old woman presented with pain and blurred vision in her right eye for 3 days.

The drug was a compound preparation with complex Chinese herbal medicinal ingredients. Results: Slit lamp examination showed central diffuse corneal subepithelial haze with granular shapes and anterior stromal opacity. Corresponding with her clinical manifestations, anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed diffuse abnormal highly reflective signal in the anterior stroma within 349 μ m and in vivo confocal microscopy found inflammatory infiltration in the subepithelial and the anterior stromal layer. Thus, tobramycin dexamethasone eye drops and artificial tears were prescribed for her, which proved effective. Her clinical symptoms and signs were both resolved after steroid treatment and remained stable at the 1‐month follow‐up.

The quality of the included studies was assessed using Cochrane’s risk of bias tool, and data synthesis was performed using RevMan 5.4.Results: Twelve studies, including 841 patients, were analyzed. Meta-analysis showed that herbal medicine contributed to meaningful improvements in Guillain-Barré syndrome outcomes. Hughes functional scores decreased by a mean difference (MD) of -0.25 (95% CI -0.49 to -0.01, p=0.04), cerebrospinal fluid protein levels dropped by MD -13.16 mg/dL (95% CI -15.38 to -10.95, p<0.0001), and Barthel Index scores increased by MD 4.70 points (95% CI 2.98 to 6.42, p<0.00001). Additional benefits were noted for sensory function, muscle strength, and peripheral nerve conduction velocities. However, a GRADE assessment indicated that evidence certainty remained low to very low due to methodological limitations, small sample sizes, and inherent bias across studies.Conclusions: Herbal medicine may offer benefits in improving functional and electrophysiological outcomes in Guillain– Barré syndrome, but current evidence remains limited. Future clinical trials should incorporate objective outcome measures and employ rigorous methodologies to validate their efficacy and safety.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22246/jikm.2025.46.3.359","authors":["Da-young An","Seung-ho Sun"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-22T00:23:58Z","doi":"10.22246/jikm.2025.46.3.359","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.obmed.2025.100598","name":"Survey on the herbal combinations in traditional Vietnamese medicine formulas for obesity treatment based on literature","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.obmed.2025.100598","authors":["Duong Thi Huong Nguyen","Huy Khanh Tang","An Thi Hoai Nguyen","Luu Bao Le"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-27T17:20:03Z","doi":"10.1016/j.obmed.2025.100598","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.535Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i4b.1005","name":"Formulation and evaluation of anti-oxidant activity of apricot seed oil herbal lip balm","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i4b.1005","authors":["Vijaya Sindhuri G","P Sai Tejaswini","L Reshma","B Navya","K Ujwala","S Vaishnavi"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-30T12:37:12Z","doi":"10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i4b.1005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i2a.1084","name":"Spirulina platensis as a green biological agent in titanium dioxide nanoparticle synthesis: Herbal mediation, structural characterization and therapeutic potential","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i2a.1084","authors":["Yuki Hayashi Tanaka","Hiroshi Nakamura Matsumoto","Sakura Watanabe Fujiwara"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-06-01T05:12:21Z","doi":"10.22271/flora.2025.v13.i2a.1084","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1055/s-0045-1807257","name":"The Pathological Complexity of Stroke and Rational Treatment Principles of Chinese Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Abstract This paper first analyzes the complexity of pathological processes involved in acute hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke, including primary and secondary brain injury manifestations and mechanisms, potential transformations between hemorrhage and infarction, and the impact of postbrain injury inflammation on disease progression. Based on decades of extensive clinical and pharmacological research on the usage of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) monomers or formulas that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis (such as Angong Niuhuang Wan, Buyang Huanwu Tang, Dahuoluo Wan, and Dushen Tang) for stroke treatment, it proposes that tonifying qi, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and detoxifying are rational treatment principles of CHM. These principles correspond to the following Western medical implications: tonifying qi corresponds to neuroprotection effects, promoting blood circulation corresponds to anticoagulation and thrombolysis, removing blood stasis addresses hematoma absorption and cerebral edema reduction, and detoxifying corresponds to anti-inflammatory actions. This paper further proposes from a systems medicine perspective that acute stroke is a complex disease requiring individualized CHM treatment with timely modifications rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. CHM monomers or formulas for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which have various effects such as lowering blood pressure, hemostasis, anticoagulation, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, promoting fibrinolysis, and edema reduction, must align with disease progression and be applied within appropriate therapeutic time windows to ensure efficacy and safety. Finally, this paper suggests that a combined use of acupuncture and CHM can potentially synergistically leverage their respective therapeutic strengths. Additionally, acupuncture shows clear benefits in the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), such as stimulating the vagus nerve to enhance cerebral blood flow, reducing inflammation, as well as triggering hemostatic effects. By applying these rational treatment principles in an integrated approach, better CHM treatment outcomes and higher efficacy of stroke management may be attained.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1807257","authors":["Guanyuan Jin","Louis Lei Jin","Belinda Jie He"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-08T23:33:22Z","doi":"10.1055/s-0045-1807257","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/jahm.jahm_71_25","name":"Atasi Upnaha Therapy for Avabahuka (Frozen Shoulder): A Clinician Observation","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jahm.jahm_71_25","authors":["Mahesh Kumar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026-03-31T04:01:22Z","doi":"10.4103/jahm.jahm_71_25","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.69709/biomatc.2024.101090","name":"Nanotechnology Based Drug Delivery Systems of Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"Herbal medicine has been utilized extensively throughout ancient times. Advancements in the fields of phytochemistry and phytopharmacology has made it feasible to better understand the chemical composition and biological functions of certain medicinal plant products. The presence of active compounds is necessary for the efficacy of many species of medicinal plants. Most physiologically active components in extracts, such as tannins, terpenoids, and flavonoids, are highly soluble in aqueous solutions but exhibit poor absorption due to their large molecular size, low permeability, or inability to traverse lipid cell membranes. As a result, their bioavailability and efficacy are reduced, making certain extracts unsuitable for healthcare applications. There has been a lot of research into combining nanotechnology with herbal medicine because of the potential for nanostructured systems to enhance the benefits of plant extracts by reducing dosage requirements, minimizing side effects, and enhancing activity. Nanosystems may deliver a sufficient quantity of the active component to the targeted site of action during the course of the treatment. Conventional therapy fails to meet these requirements.

We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records of adults with malignant neoplasms who received HBOT at Cha Ilsan Medical Center from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Safety was assessed via treatment-emergent adverse events graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and pre–post comparisons of 37 laboratory parameters. Subgroup analyses were stratified by chemotherapy and herbal therapy (traditional Korean medicine) exposure. Covariate-adjusted linear regression models were used to identify independent predictors of laboratory changes after false-discovery-rate correction. Among 259 patients undergoing 2692 HBOT sessions, 2 mild treatment-emergent adverse events occurred (0.07%); no serious or life-threatening events were observed. In 207 patients with paired laboratories, most hematologic and biochemical parameters were stable. Platelet count declined modestly (−16 × 10 3 µL −1 ; false-discovery-rate P < .001) and plateletcrit decreased (−0.01%; P < .001), with cohort means remaining within reference intervals. In the paired-laboratory cohort, chemotherapy exposure was 108 vs 99 unexposed, and herbal therapy (traditional Korean medicine) exposure was 132 vs 75 unexposed; exposures were not mutually exclusive. Subgroup analyses showed no clinically meaningful hematologic differences between exposed and unexposed groups. In multivariable linear models, chemotherapy was independently associated with lower white blood cell and neutrophil counts, and herbal therapy with a minor reduction in eosinophils; neither therapy was associated with platelet changes. Low-pressure HBOT demonstrates a favorable hematological safety profile in cancer patients, even when administered alongside chemotherapy or herbal therapies. These findings support the safe integration of HBOT into multimodal cancer care, although prospective multicenter trials are warranted to confirm long-term safety.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000044893","authors":["Myeongseog Woo","Jee Young Lee","Myung Han Hyun","Sanghun Lee"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-10-13T05:00:55Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000044893","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-98501-2","name":"Blood test use in Korean Medicine for monitoring herbal medicine safety","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-98501-2","authors":["Eunbyul Cho","Mi Mi Ko","Changsop Yang","Sungha Kim"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-21T07:16:22Z","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-98501-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"pmid:42073367","name":"Development and Characterization of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

However, it is known that these phytocompounds generally present low absorption, which hinders their direct use in formulations. Therefore, delivery systems, such as phytosomes, can be regarded as a potential strategy to overcome this disadvantage. This study aimed, for the first time, to prepare extracts from the ice plant using different solvents and to incorporate them into phytosomes. Physicochemical characterization of these phytosomes, their antioxidant activity, as well as the quantification and in vitro release profile of their phenolic and flavonoid compounds were studied. Different extraction solvents were assayed, and Ethanol:Acetone (80:20) achieved a strong antioxidant activity (reaching ca. 71.16%), extracting 3200.3 mg of GAE/100 g and 761.7 mg of QE/100 g of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, respectively. The phytosomal formulation exhibited a mean particle size of 233.80 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.23, and a zeta potential of -27.27 mV. Furthermore, a high encapsulation efficiency (96.63%) of the extracts in the phytosomes was obtained. The in vitro release test indicated that the antioxidant activity was retained, reaching a maximum of 42%, accompanied by a release of 51% of the flavonoid content at the end of the 3 h assay, under the experimental conditions. These findings highlight the potential of phytosomes formulated with Mesembryanthemum crystallinum extract as a delivery system for antioxidant phytochemicals.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42073367/","authors":["Fernandes I","Iglesias-Mejuto A","Coelho JMP","Direito R","Reis CP"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 29","doi":"10.3390/life16040557","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.536Z"},{"id":"pmid:42072306","name":"Targeting the AMPK Pathway with Natural Products for Heart Failure: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Evidence.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background : Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

This study aimed to evaluate the Antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and cytotoxicity activity of Astragalus baba-alliar (A. baba-alliar) extract against the main causes of dental root canal infections, which areEnterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. After preparing the methanolic extract from A. baba-alliar, phytochemical analysis was conducted to determine the content of secondary metabolites, followed by the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), against Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis).Subsequently, the ability of the methanolic extract to inhibit biofilm formation was investigated using the microtiter plate method. The cytotoxic effects of the methanolic extract on normal human gingival fibroblast cells (HGF-1) and oral cancer cells (KB) were evaluated using the MTT reduction method. Based on the phytochemical results, the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and polysaccharides in this plant extract was confirmed. The total phenol and flavonoid content were determined to be 4.23 mg GEA/g DW and 2.61 mg QE/g DW, respectively. The methanol extract of the plant, both alone and in combination with nystatin, exhibited a significant anti-candidal effect against C. albicans, while alone and especially in combination with chlorhexidine, it demonstrated a significant antibacterial effect against E. faecalis. Moreover, the extract alone and in combination with nystatin, induced biofilm formation in C. albicans with an MBIC50 of 4.6 μg/ml, 64 μg/ml, and 0.25 μg/ml, respectively.

Water-supplemented probiotics improved intestinal morphology, reduced diarrhoea, modulated immune responses, and enhanced microbial balance. Plant extracts and essential oils exhibited anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects, contributing to improved gut integrity and resilience. Amino acids such as methionine and cysteine enhanced villus structure and oxidative balance, while vitamin C improved immune function and microbiota composition under heat stress.

(AD) is a medicinal herb classified within the Campanulaceae family and genus Adenophora , with a broad geographic distribution across East Asia, including Korea, Asia, and Russia. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the effects of AD on PM-induced lung inflammation in both PM-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and PM-exposed mice. Considering that the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway plays a role in PM-induced inflammatory responses, we focused on determining whether AD exerts its anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of this signaling pathway. The anti-inflammatory properties of the methanolic extract of AD were evaluated using PM-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and PM-exposed mice. PM was administered intranasally to mice for 7 days, whereas AD or dexamethasone was orally administered for the same duration. AD treatment significantly attenuated pulmonary inflammation, as evidenced by reduced inflammatory cell counts and decreased cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In addition, AD decreased oxidative stress marker (ROS and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) while increasing glutathione content, leading to suppression of TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome expression. Histopathological analysis revealed a marked alleviation of inflammatory responses in lung tissue, characterized by diminished inflammatory cell infiltration and reduced alveolar wall thickening.

Methods : Elderly patients (age ≥ 60 years) with Helicobacter pylori infection treated at five hospitals in Beijing between January 2018 and June 2025 were enrolled. Participants were stratified into four groups according to the prescribed regimen: vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy, rabeprazole-amoxicillin (RA) dual therapy, rabeprazole-Jinghua Weikang (a Chinese herbal medicine, granules)-amoxicillin-furazolidone (RJAF) quadruple therapy, and rabeprazole-bismuth-amoxicillin-furazolidone (RBAF) quadruple therapy. The primary endpoint was the eradication rate for each regimen. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and data on comorbidities. In addition, serological testing for H. pylori virulence-associated antibodies (CagA, VacA, UreA, and UreB) was performed in 32 patients at baseline, prior to treatment initiation. Results : A total of 312 patients were screened. The eradication rates with VA, RA, RJAF, and RBAF were 96.3%, 94.0%, 86.8%, and 86.6%, respectively (χ 2 = 6.92, p = 0.075). The incidence of AEs was 13.8%, 15.5%, 17.9%, and 19.1% in the VA, RA, RJAF, and RBAF groups, respectively ( p = 0.391). Conclusions : In elderly patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, dual therapy demonstrates non-inferior efficacy compared with triple therapy and conventional quadruple therapy. More complex regimens do not confer additional clinical benefit. Among the two dual-therapy regimens, VA dual therapy shows superior overall performance and is therefore recommended as the first-line treatment of choice.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42041318/","authors":["Chen XL","Gao W","Ye H","Wang ZC","Cheng H","Zhang XZ"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 30","doi":"10.3390/antibiotics15040355","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42041017","name":"IPENS: Interactive unsupervised framework for rapid plant phenotyping extraction via NeRF-SAM2 fusion.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Advanced plant phenotyping technologies are vital for trait improvement and accelerating intelligent breeding.

Recent advances in deep learning have enabled the automated detection of wheat phenology in the field. In particular, deep learning models using multi-temporal image series have addressed the challenge of low accuracy in models that only use spatial features by incorporating dynamic aspects of the wheat growth process. However, utilizing multi-temporal image series introduces challenges such as model parameter redundancy, complex inference processes, and difficulties in real-time deployment. To address these issues, this study presents an optimization method for deriving wheat phenology from single-temporal images (WPDSI) that combines knowledge distillation and multi-layer attention transfer. The proposed approach employs knowledge distillation. In this framework, a teacher model extracts spatiotemporal features from multi-temporal image-series and generates soft labels to guide a student model trained on single-temporal images. This reduces model complexity and input data requirements. Multi-layer attention transfer allows the student model to inherit feature representations from multiple layers of the teacher model. This enhances its ability to capture key phenological characteristics and supports interpretability through attention mechanisms. The proposed method achieves an overall accuracy (OA) of 0.927, comparable to models trained on multi-temporal image series. Furthermore, the model demonstrates strong generalization on unseen datasets, enhancing real-time performance and computational efficiency while maintaining high accuracy, providing a practical solution for deriving wheat phenology in the field.

This study aims to explore the impact of fermentation on Zingiberaceae , focusing on the alteration of phytochemical profiles and the enhancement of pharmacological activities. Articles were sourced from the Scopus and PubMed databases and filtered for publications between 2015 and 2025; there were 2 articles that were electronically removed before screening due to duplication, yielding 62 articles. These articles were then further screened based on titles, abstracts, and full texts, resulting in five relevant studies. Fermentation was found to improve the phytochemical profile, influenced by the microbial strains used and the physicochemical properties of the phytochemicals. The fermentation process enhanced the stability of compounds, such as converting 6-gingerol to 6-shogaol and transforming glycosides into aglycones, which are more easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, fermentation increased phenolic and flavonoid content, accompanied by enhanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Pharmacologically, in vitro studies showed that fermented extracts modulate cytokine signaling pathways in immune cells while enhancing anti-aging properties and skin barrier protection. Meanwhile, in vivo studies demonstrated improvements in metabolic regulation and neuroprotective effects in cognitive disorders. Further mechanistic investigations are needed to clarify the pathways through which fermentation influences the behavior of phytoconstituents and their pharmacological performance.

Larvicidal assays dominated, with 58% of tested extracts exhibiting high potency (LC₅₀ < 100 μg/mL). Plant species with high larvicidal activity included Commiphora merkeri , Dioscorea sansibarensis , Tephrosia vogelii , Uvariodendron pycnophyllum , Harrisonia abyssinica , Annona squamosa , Annona senegalensis , Annona muricata , and Neorautanenia mitis . Highly promising species for adulticidal activity and repellency were Warburgia ugandensis , Neorautanenia mitis , Tessmannia densiflora , Chenopodium ambrosioides , Ocimum spp., Syzygium aromaticum , and Cinnamomum verum . Despite encouraging findings, most studies remain laboratory-based, emphasizing the need for expanded field trials, improved extraction methods, and formulation development to harness Tanzania's rich plant biodiversity for sustainable mosquito vector control.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42027672/","authors":["Matiya DJ"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 May","doi":"10.1016/j.parepi.2026.e00505","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42026976","name":"Tabernaemontana catharinensis: A Source of Indole Alkaloids With Potential Activity as Chemotherapeutic Agents.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aimed to evaluate the antitumor activity of fractions rich in indole alkaloids extracted from the leaves of the species Tabernaemontana catharinensis.

Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate whether Crataegus monogyna (CM), a medicinal plant with antioxidant properties, can reduce cisplatin-induced damage in rats. Twenty-four male rats were divided into four groups: control, cisplatin-only (8 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), cisplatin + CM (200 mg/kg, orally), and CM-only. CM was administered for seven days, starting two days before the single cisplatin injection. Subsequently, blood samples were analyzed for liver enzymes (AST, ALT), kidney function markers (urea, creatinine), inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ), and oxidative stress indicators (TAS, TOS). Liver and kidney tissues were also examined histologically and immunohistochemically for caspase-3, NF-κB-p65, TNF-α, and IL-6. As demonstrated by our findings, cisplatin significantly increased AST, ALT, urea, creatinine, TNF-α, IL-6, and TOS levels while reducing TAS. CM treatment alleviated these changes. Furthermore, tissue architecture was better preserved in the CM+CIS group compared to the CIS group, and fewer apoptotic and inflammatory cells were observed. No significant differences in IL-10 and IFN-γ levels were detected among the groups. Collectively, our findings suggest that CM may exert protective effects against cisplatin-induced liver and kidney toxicity, likely through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. CM may thus be considered as a supportive option to mitigate cisplatin-induced side effects.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42025193/","authors":["Akgöl J","Sarman E","Çinar R"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 May","doi":"10.1080/01480545.2025.2600469","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42022497","name":"Efficacy, Safety, and Economic Evaluation of Gamidaeganghwal-Tang in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: Protocol for a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease that severely affects quality of life.

In vivo antioxidant assays were carried out also on the liver homogenates, while the liver and kidneys were examined histologically in both male and female animals. There was a dose-dependent increase in the neutrophil: leucocyte ratio in the female animals. This has been linked to physiological stress, underlying disease condition and most recently a risk factor for early onset chronic kidney disease (CKD). NaPherbs did not pose any major cardiovascular risk across the groups, and there seemed to be some level of cardioprotection judging from the reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) observed in both sexes. The antioxidant indices assayed for were not significantly (P<0.05) affected by NaPherbs treatment, except for the catalase enzyme which was significantly increased in the female animals.

NaPherbs did not significantly (P<0.05) alter these indices. Histological examination of the liver and kidneys showed that NaPherbs did not cause any major deleterious effect to these organs, except for mild infiltration of the sinusoids with inflammatory cells in the hepatocyte. NaPherbs showed a consistent profile of safety across the animals and doses considered in this study. However, further immunologic assays must be explored to validate its immune boosting claims and more specific toxicity assays must be employed to focus more on neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and gonadotoxicity in both sexes.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42008315/","authors":["Afolabi S","Olorundare O","Akanbi O","Ibiyemi S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec 31","doi":"10.54548/njps.v40i2.14","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42008313","name":"Histochemical Study of Nissl Substance and Astrocytes in a Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Model of Epilepsy Treated with Musa Paradisiaca Stem Juice.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Epilepsy disrupts the transmission of electrical signals within the brain and is characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures, with an average epidiemologic index of 60 million affected individuals worldwide.

Contemporary medicine has enhanced risk management; yet, no medication substantially postpones disease progression, underscoring the necessity for alternative treatment strategies. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), characterized by its holistic approach and classification of conditions, provides a distinctive perspective on complex diseases, including cerebral small vessel disease. In TCM, theories such as \"blood stasis obstructing collaterals\", \"toxin impairing collaterals\" and \"kidney deficiency leading to marrow degeneration\" are highly consistent with the contemporary pathophysiological theories of CSVD. This review uniquely synthesizes TCM theories with contemporary mechanistic evidence, encompassing clinical trials and network pharmacology, thereby establishing a comprehensive framework for the prospective application of TCM in CSVD and filling a void in prior research in this domain.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42002118/","authors":["Bao X","Zhang Z","Bai X","Si M","Li R","Chai C","Luo H","Jin H"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Aug 10","doi":"10.1016/j.jep.2026.121707","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42001287","name":"Clinical assessment and early intervention for deviations in children's growth and development.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Chinese adults' and children's heights have grown over two decades, but many parents remain unaware of the main factors affecting their children's height.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42001287/","authors":["Tang G","Wan J","Liu J","Zhu M","Liu R"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jun","doi":"10.36721/PJPS.2026.39.6.173.1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:42000007","name":"Ethnopharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor potential of Resina Draconis (Dragon's Blood): A systematic review connecting traditional use to molecular mechanisms.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Resina Draconis is a prestigious traditional Chinese medicine agent used to invigorate blood and resolve stasis.

Thus, we aimed to counteract rotenone-induced testicular oxidative damage using Chasteberry extract (CBE), while concurrently investigating the underlying mechanisms. Forty male albino rats were randomized into four groups (10 rats per each group): served as control (received 1 mL of saline orally, and 2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a dose of 10 mL/kg for 3 times/week, intraperitoneally), CBE (165 mg/kg/daily, orally), rotenone (3 mg/kg/3times/week, intraperitonially), and combination (CBE and rotenone). Treatments were administered for 60 consecutive days. Our data indicated that rotenone injection resulted in hormonal imbalance, oxidative damage, inflammation, apoptosis, as well as mitochondrial dynamic dysfunction in testicular tissue. While the co-administration of CBE with rotenone significantly mitigated these deleterious effects and restored sperm morphology and count, as evidenced biochemically by upregulation in follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and testosterone hormonal levels. Also, the CBE-supplemented rotenone group showed enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, total and reduced glutathione) and reduced malondialdehyde levels, oxidized glutathione, and proinflammatory cytokine levels (tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1β). These results were further confirmed by histopathological investigation, which revealed marked restoration of testicular histoarchitecture with reduction in nuclear factor kappa B and caspase 3 immunoreactivity in the combination group. On the molecular level, CBE supplementation restored the antioxidant mRNA transcript of antioxidant genes, mitochondrial biogenesis genes, and mitochondrial dynamics, as evidenced by upregulation in mitofusin and downregulation in dynamin-related protein 1. In conclusion, CBE is a promising protective agent against rotenone-induced testicular damage via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and mitochondrial biogenesis-enhancing effects.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41998060/","authors":["Saad HM","Ashoura NR","Salama AR","Wasef LG","Elrehim AMA","Essa BH","Saleh NA","Elsawasany A","Awad AA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 17","doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-46954-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41997439","name":"A review of traditional uses, phytoconstituents, bioactivities, and therapeutic potential of Hypecoum erectum L. and Hypecoum leptocarpum Hook.f. & Thomson.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Hypecoi Erecti Herba, derived from plants of the genus Hypecoum (Papaveraceae), includes two source species: Hypecoum leptocarpum Hook.f. & Thomson and Hypecoum erectum L.

These can include hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances, among others. Though hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may alleviate some menopausal symptoms, it is not appropriate for all individuals. The Shatavari plant ( Asparagus racemosus ) has long been utilized in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to support women's reproductive health, though rigorous clinical evidence for its efficacy remains limited. Methods In this study, we evaluated a standardized A. racemosus root extract (SheVari4®) in improving menopausal symptoms across somatic, psychological, and urogenital domains. A total of 60 healthy (pre-, peri-, and post-menopausal) women aged 40-55 years were recruited and randomized into two groups to receive daily doses of either 100 mg of placebo or SheVari4® via double-blinded administration. Menopausal symptoms were assessed at baseline (pre-treatment), and at four and eight weeks (post-treatment), using the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Results Confirming successful randomization, both groups reported similar baseline MRS scores (~15 on a 44-point scale). However, post-treatment, the SheVari4® group demonstrated a significant reduction in menopausal symptom severity at week 4 (43% decrease) and at week 8 (71% decrease, linear mixed model (LMM) analysis, p < 0.001). Additionally, several parameters across MRS subscales showed significant improvement with SheVari4®, including hot flash occurrence and sleep quality (both >90% improved at week 8). Adverse events were mild, transient, and comparable between groups, with gastrointestinal discomfort being the most common. Conclusion These findings suggest that SheVari4® may represent a promising botanical alternative for women seeking non-HRT approaches to manage menopausal symptoms.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41982372/","authors":["Swaroop A","Swaroop A"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.7759/cureus.106987","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41981676","name":"Jieduquyuziyin prescription for systemic lupus erythematosus: a system-level therapeutic strategy for immunological recalibration.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease involving immune dysregulation, metabolic reprogramming, and multi-organ damage.

These bioactive compounds (BCs) have been increasingly associated with beneficial effects on gastrointestinal (GI) and cardiometabolic health. This scoping review aimed to systematically map available evidence and synthesize reported GI and cardiometabolic health outcomes of upcycled OP ingredients. Methods: Conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines, the literature search was performed in the Scopus database and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies published between 2014-2025 using a predefined Boolean search query. After screening, 84 studies and 14 completed clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. Results: The mapped evidence spans mechanistic (in vitro), preclinical, and clinical studies. Preclinical studies report that flavonoids, pectin, and essential oils modulate gut microbiota composition, enhance intestinal barrier integrity, and improve glycemic, lipid, and inflammatory parameters through mechanisms involving short-chain fatty acid production, antioxidant activity, and modulation of key inflammatory pathways. Clinical studies, predominantly investigating hesperidin-rich and fiber-rich extracts, report improvements in postprandial glycemic response, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and selected microbiota-related markers. Conclusions: Upcycled OP ingredients show promising biological activities relevant to cardiometabolic health and gut modulation, particularly in mechanistic and preclinical models. However, the evidence base remains largely dominated by in vitro and animal studies, with limited and heterogeneous clinical data. Key gaps include the underrepresentation of pectin and carotenoids in human trials and the absence of standardized, long-term intervention studies.

The Takeda G protein-coupled receptor (TGR5), TGR5 is a bile acid-responsive receptor that modulates inflammatory signalling pathways, making it an enticing molecular target for the discovery of novel anti-inflammatory agents. Herein, a comprehensive in silico approach was employed to identify potential TGR5 agonists from sterol-rich phytocompounds present in Triphala, a traditional polyherbal formulation. Using in silico computational methods, such as molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS), we screened the putative agonistic potential of 10 phytocompounds obtained from Terminalia chebula , Terminalia bellirica , and Phyllanthus emblica against the crystal structure of human TGR5 (PDB ID: 7XTQ). Based on binding energy and molecular interactions, ergosterol (-12.34 ± 0.17 kcal/mol) and stigmasterol (-10.35 ± 0.04 kcal/mol) were predicted to be the top and best compounds. Furthermore, the stability of these two compounds in the docked complex was analysed using MDS for 200 ns. The mean Cα RMSD values were 0.22 ± 0.02 nm for both ergosterol- and stigmasterol-bound complexes, compared to 0.21 ± 0.02 nm for the unbound apo protein. Further, the molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) analysis revealed that ergosterol exhibited binding free energy (-139.868 ± 12.318 kJ/mol) comparable to that of the co-crystallised ligand R399 -93.424 ± 8.919 kJ/mol. In silico ADMET predictions indicated acceptable drug-like properties and low toxicity for both compounds. Collectively, these computational findings suggest that ergosterol is a promising putative TGR5 agonist, warranting further experimental validation of its potential role in modulating inflammation-related pathways.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41977315/","authors":["Prasad YM","Gowda SR","Shantamurthy N","Sehar AEJS","Razack SA","Srichairatanakool S","Ravikumar Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 30","doi":"10.3390/ijms27073130","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41977124","name":"Therapeutic Potential of Mulberry and Its Resilience to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Mulberry is a plant species of significant economic value and is widely incorporated into various traditional medicinal formulations.

Medicinal plants represent important sources of bioactive compounds (BACs) with anticancer and chemopreventive potential; however, their successful application is strongly influenced by extraction strategies that determine phytochemical recovery and downstream biological activity. This review evaluates solvent-based extraction techniques used to extract BACs from medicinal plants with reported anticancer properties, synthesizing peer-reviewed articles from PubMed and Google Scholar published between 2020 and 2025. Solvent-based methods, including Soxhlet and maceration, were most widely applied due to their operational simplicity and the preservation of structurally diverse metabolites while percolation, decoction, infusion, and hydro-distillation were sparsely utilized. Extraction strategy and solvent polarity emerged as primary factors shaping phytochemical profiles, with phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids identified as dominant classes. Reported half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) ranged from highly potent (0.12 µg/mL) to weak (30,000 µg/mL), reflecting variability driven by extraction parameters and plant matrix complexity. Anticancer mechanisms commonly involved apoptosis induction, cell-cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species-mediated cytotoxicity, and inhibition of proliferative signaling pathways across breast, cervical, colon, lung, liver, and prostate cancer models. Although solvent-based extraction approaches remain widely used, their context-dependent nature and lack of standardization limit reproducibility. Overall, anticancer and chemotherapeutic efficacy is primarily governed by BAC composition, while extraction methods act as upstream modulators. Future progress requires phytochemical-informed, standardized workflows supported by hybrid extraction systems, AI-assisted optimization, and advanced bioavailability and delivery systems to enable reproducible and clinically relevant translation of plant-derived chemotherapeutics.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41976242/","authors":["Ojong C","Besong SA","Aryee ANA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 4","doi":"10.3390/molecules31071202","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41976165","name":"Comprehensive Phytochemical Profiling of Iris songarica Rhizomes and Evaluation of Their Anti-Inflammatory Activity In Vivo.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The chemical composition of Iris songarica rhizome extracts was systematically investigated using GC-MS and UHPLC-MS.

Among these natural products, Astragali Radix (AR, Huangqi in Chinese) has emerged as a particularly promising candidate for tumor treatment due to its well-documented anti-tumor properties. Contemporary research has identified three principal bioactive compounds responsible for these therapeutic effects: Astragalus polysaccharides, total Astragalus flavonoids, and astragalosides. These compounds demonstrate multimodal anti-tumor activity against five major malignancies, including lung, breast, liver, colorectal, and cervical cancers, through coordinated modulation of critical cellular processes including apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, and metastasis suppression. Critical studies have revealed that AR-based combination therapies can synergistically enhance conventional treatments (chemotherapy/radiotherapy). This is achieved by simultaneously addressing two critical challenges in tumor treatment: Reducing treatment-related toxicity and overcoming multidrug resistance through chemosensitization effects in vivo . This review synthesizes current knowledge on AR's anti-tumor components, their molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic targets. It emphasizes the synergistic benefits of integrating AR with existing tumor treatments and proposes future research directions to advance its clinical translation. By bridging traditional herbal knowledge with modern scientific rigor, this work aims to accelerate the development of AR-based therapies as safer, more effective options for cancer patients.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41971575/","authors":["Jiang J","Li M","Lu Q","Dai G","Zhan Q","Chen J","Han X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1016/j.chmed.2025.10.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41971406","name":"Spice essential oils as natural preservatives in processed sausages: a systematic review of their physicochemical, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and sensory effects.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The increasing demand for natural, safe, and high-quality meat products has prompted interest in replacing synthetic preservatives with plant-based alternatives.

Unlike studies focusing on single compounds, this research elucidates the integrated therapeutic mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine formula Changyanning (CYN), specifically targeting the synergistic regulatory effects on inflammatory responses, intestinal barrier function, and gut microbiota during dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. In a male C57BL/6 mouse model, CYN treatment significantly ameliorated clinical symptoms and histopathological damage. CYN potently suppressed TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, reduced proinflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), and upregulated IL-10. Notably, CYN also restored intestinal barrier integrity by upregulating tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Claudin-1, and Occludin) and mitigated oxidative damage. 16S rDNA sequencing further revealed that CYN reshaped the gut microbiota network, notably increasing beneficial bacteria (e.g., Akkermansia) and depleting inflammation-associated bacteria (e.g., Turicibacter). Collectively, CYN alleviates colitis via a multi-targeted mechanism involving the suppression of inflammatory signaling, reinforcement of the intestinal barrier integrity, regulation of oxidative balance, and restoration of gut microbiota. These findings validate CYN as a promising functional botanical candidate drug for the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41964246/","authors":["Ye J","Jiang Y","Yang K","Hu J","Lu J","Tian B"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1002/mnfr.70461","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41962270","name":"Current advances in restoring intestinal barrier homeostasis by natural medicines.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The intestinal mucosa serves as a critical interface separating the internal environment of the human body from the external milieu, with its barrier function determining the appropriate entry of luminal contents.

A narrative review approach was adopted based on articles indexed in major scientific databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, covering studies published up to 2025. The review discusses conventional and emerging extraction techniques, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and suitability for industrial-scale applications. In addition, the variability in phenolic profiles among Brazilian biomes and plant species is examined, as is the reported antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of these compounds across different food matrices. Beyond a descriptive compilation, this review addresses inconsistencies and limitations reported in the literature, including discrepancies between in vitro and food-system results and challenges related to compound stability. Finally, industrial perspectives, safety considerations, and research gaps are discussed to support the future development of biopreservatives derived from Brazilian plant resources. Overall, this review provides a critical, integrated overview that may guide future research and technological applications of phenolic compounds from Brazilian flora for food preservation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41956662/","authors":["da Silva Mourão M","Sant'Ana AS"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jun 1","doi":"10.1016/j.foodres.2026.118998","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41949939","name":"Antifungal Activity of Leaves and Cones Extracts of Pinus halepensis in Tlemcen North-West of Algeria.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"plants represent an exhaustible source of chemical molecules with a diverse biological activity.

Following the 2015–2017 Balkan epidemics, coordinated high-coverage vaccination campaigns and movement restrictions substantially reduced disease transmission across southeastern Europe. However, the recent re-emergence of LSD in Western Europe in 2025, including outbreaks reported in Italy, France, and Spain, demonstrates that regional elimination remains fragile and requires sustained preparation. This review evaluates the evidence across three practical pillars of outbreak management: diagnostic approach, vaccination strategies, and clinical/therapeutic care. Particular emphasis is placed on vaccination strategies used in field control programs, including mass vaccination, targeted and emergency (ring) vaccination, as well as the comparative performance of homologous live-attenuated Neethling vaccines and heterologous sheep and goatpox vaccines. Emerging inactivated and DIVA-compatible vaccine approaches are also discussed, together with field-level determinants of vaccine effectiveness, such as vaccination coverage, campaign timing, booster policies, cold-chain integrity, and the monitoring of adverse reactions. Based on lessons learned from European epidemics, we propose a phase-based decision-making framework that integrates rapid diagnosis, emergency vaccination, surveillance, and vector management to reduce morbidity and limit onward transmission. Because no licensed LSDV-specific antiviral therapy is currently available, treatment remains primarily supportive. It includes early detection and isolation, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic therapy, hydration and nutritional support, wound and mastitis management, and judicious antimicrobial use for secondary bacterial infections. In addition, we review emerging experimental evidence suggesting that several herbal, conventional, and antiparasitic compounds may represent promising candidates for future therapeutic approaches against LSD. Moreover, the further spread of LSD in Russia and the Middle East has been suggested to be associated with disruptions in vaccine attenuation processes, together with operational constraints affecting compliance and policy implementation in 2025.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41935982/","authors":["Toker EB","Yaşar M","Pratelli A","Yeşilbağ K"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr 5","doi":"10.1007/s11259-026-11190-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41935304","name":"From healing landscapes to biocultural conservation: the role of Ficus septica in karst ecosystems of South Sulawesi, Indonesia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Biocultural landscapes in Indonesia preserve extensive medicinal plant knowledge, yet many species remain insufficiently examined through integrative ethnographic, ecological, and phytochemical approaches.

Eighteen male Wistar rats were subjected to BDL, divided into three groups of 6.

The liver was removed and stained with Masson-Trichrome and antibodies against collagen and MMP-1. Collagen density and the expression of collagen and MMP-1 were observed using a light microscope. Histopathological findings demonstrate that BDL significantly increased collagen density and the expression of collagen and MMP-1 in the liver, consistent with the development of fibrosis. Treatment with O-GSPE at 40% reduced collagen density and the expression of collagen and MMP-1 in the liver, although the differences were not statistically significant, indicating a protective effect against liver fibrosis. O-GSPE 40% demonstrates hepatoprotective effects in BDL-induced liver injury. These beneficial effects are associated with the role of collagen and MMP-1.

Hepatoprotective efficacy was evaluated, and the pharmacokinetics of anthraquinones were profiled. Key interaction mechanisms were investigated using the everted intestinal sac model, the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-overexpressing MDCKII cells, and molecular docking simulations. Results : DHXSD provided significantly stronger hepatoprotection than its principal herb Rheum palmatum L. (DaHuang, DH) alone. This enhanced efficacy correlated with an approximate 2-fold increase in the systemic exposure of rhein compared to DH monotherapy. We identified berberine from Phellodendron amurense Rupr.

Despite advances in chemotherapy, therapeutic resistance remains a major challenge, underscoring the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. Natural products continue to serve as important sources of bioactive compounds for cancer drug discovery. Tiliacora triandra , a Thai medicinal plant traditionally used to manage inflammatory and metabolic disorders, has not been extensively investigated for its potential against TNBC. In this study, we evaluated the anti-cancer effects of T. triandra extracts and its major flavonoid constituent, pectolinarigenin, in triple-negative breast cancer, MDA-MB-231 cells. Methods: An 80% ethanolic root extract was sequentially partitioned into hexane, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate fractions. High-performance liquid chromatography identified pectolinarigenin as a predominant component of the dichloromethane fraction (TT-DCM), with a quantified content of 14.24 ± 2.32 mg/g extract. The anti-cancer effect of TT-DCM and pectolinarigenin on MDA-MB-231 cells were investigated using colony formation, cell cycle analysis, PI/Annexin V staining, and Western blot analysis. Results: Both TT-DCM and pectolinarigenin significantly reduced MDA-MB-231 cell viability and clonogenic growth. Treatment resulted in G0/G1 phase accumulation, accompanied by decreased expression of cyclin D1, CDK2, and CDK4. Apoptotic induction was observed, as evidenced by lower expression levels of Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, and surviving proteins, together with increased caspase-9 and caspase-3 activities. Additionally, TT-DCM and pectolinarigenin were associated with reduced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and p38 MAPKs. Conclusions: Collectively, these findings demonstrate that pectolinarigenin derived from T. triandra exerts potent anti-cancer activity in MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells through coordinated modulation of cell cycle progression, apoptotic signaling, and MAPK pathway activity. Further studies are warranted to validate these effects in additional TNBC models.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41901231/","authors":["Arjsri P","Semmarath W","Srisawad K","Intanil I","Thippraphan P","Dejkriengkraikul P"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 27","doi":"10.3390/ph19030384","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41901106","name":"System-Level, Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Selected Plant Adaptogens-A Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background/Objectives : Adaptogens are plant-derived substances that enhance the body's nonspecific resistance to physical, chemical, biological, and psychological stressors by normalizing physiological functions.

This integrated method aims to discover natural PL pro inhibitors from two ethnomedicinal plants, Lippia javanica and Acorus calamus , which have long been utilized in African traditional medicine to treat respiratory diseases. Comprehensive metabolite profiling using untargeted Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking revealed flavonoid glucuronides and phenylpropanoid derivatives as the major constituents in both plant species. In situ histochemical staining further offered spatial validation of phenolic- and lignin-associated tissues, supporting the phenolic-dominated molecular families detected by GNPS molecular networking. In silico evaluation of six selected compounds demonstrated spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable binding to PL pro , with ΔG_bind values ranging from -5.63 to -6.43 kcal/mol. Catechin-7-glucoside emerged as the lead compound, establishing multiple hydrogen bond networks with Asp164, Gln269, Tyr264, and Asn267, supplemented by hydrophobic engagement with Pro247 and Pro248, and π-π stacking with the blocking loop 2 (BL2 loop). Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the protein-ligand complexes. Biochemical enzyme assays confirmed concentration-dependent inhibition of PL pro proteolytic and deubiquitinating activity by both crude plant extracts and isolated bioactive compounds. However, S-adenosyl-methionine showed comparatively high PL pro proteolytic activity (IC 50 5.872 µM) compared to catechin-7-glucoside, with an IC 50 of 7.493 µM, exhibiting efficacy similar to the reference inhibitor GRL0617. Both the extracts of L. javanica and A. calamus have shown significant inhibitory activity while maintaining cell viability in Human embryonic kidney 293T cell (HEK293T) culture models, indicating a favorable safety profile of the tested concentrations.

Using a starch/psyllium matrix, extracts from Sambucus nigra (SN), Aronia melanocarpa (AM), and Echinacea purpurea (EP) were effectively protected and incorporated through a stepwise workflow encompassing matrix preparation, encapsulation, structural verification, and functional assessment. SEM revealed a porous network containing uniformly distributed, extract-loaded spherical structures (~800-1500 nm), while FTIR supported the presence of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions that contributed to system stability. The prepared nanoemulsions showed shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) behavior, indicating favorable processing characteristics, whereas most physicochemical and bioactivity measurements were performed on lyophilized composites. The dried materials preserved extract-specific color signatures (ΔE > 5) and exhibited distinct thermal responses: AM produced a pronounced plasticizing effect (Tg reduced by >20 °C), while the incorporation of extracts generally delayed thermal degradation, consistent with polyphenol-starch interactions. Phase-transition behavior was also altered, with melting peaks suppressed for SN and AM and melting temperatures lowered for EP. Surface analysis indicated increased hydrophobicity and a reduced polar component of surface free energy, suggesting improved moisture barrier potential. Antioxidant capacity closely tracked total phenolic content (r > 0.94), with caffeic acid contributing strongly, particularly in EP-based systems. Antimicrobial activity depended on extract type (broad-spectrum for EP, selective for SN, minimal for AM), and the comparatively higher sensitivity of Gram-negative bacteria points to improved phenolic availability and membrane interactions upon encapsulation.

Embryos were exposed to 250 µM 6-OHDA alone or in combination with the extract (5 and 25 µg/mL) from 48 to 120 h post-fertilization (hpf). Developmental parameters, locomotor behaviour, oxidative stress biomarkers, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity were assessed at 120 hpf. Exposure to 6-OHDA reduced TH immunofluorescence and impaired locomotor performance, accompanied by increased apoptotic signal and mild alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential. Co-exposure to the almond skin extract attenuated the reduction in TH immunoreactivity and partially modulated behavioural outcomes in a concentration-dependent manner. The extract alone increased glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, suggesting modulation of redox-related pathways. Notably, the highest concentration restored the TH signal but did not fully normalize the behavioural endpoints, indicating potential concentration-dependent complexity. Although sustained oxidative stress was not detected at the assessed time point, the observed mitochondrial and apoptotic alterations suggest involvement of multiple cellular processes. However, detailed mechanistic pathways were not directly investigated. Overall, these findings indicate that the almond skin extract modulates dopaminergic and behavioural alterations in a PD-induced zebrafish model, supporting its potential as a source of bioactive compounds, warranting further mechanistic and translational investigation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41898452/","authors":["Carneiro P","Pais P","Oliveira IV","Monteiro SM","Venâncio C","Félix L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 12","doi":"10.3390/ijms27062590","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41898212","name":"Moringa as a Functional Food for Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Scoping Review of Evidence.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background/Objectives : Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by persistent synovitis and joint destruction. While conventional pharmacotherapies, such as disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, are effective, they are often limited by significant adverse effects and high costs. Moringa, a medicinal plant rich in bioactive compounds, has emerged as a potential functional food adjunct for managing this condition. This scoping review systematically maps the evidence regarding the efficacy of moringa supplementation in alleviating the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods : A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed using a standardised search string to identify original articles investigating the effects of moringa on models of or patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Results : A total of 19 eligible studies, comprising in vitro models, preclinical animal studies, and human clinical trials, were included. Phytochemical profiling revealed the presence of potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant constituents, including flavonoids and isothiocyanates, in various plant parts. Preclinical findings demonstrated that moringa extracts significantly inhibited paw oedema, pannus formation, and cartilage erosion by downregulating proinflammatory cytokines (tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, and interleukin-6) and suppressing nuclear factor kappa B signalling. Clinical trials corroborated these benefits, showing that moringa leaf extracts were associated with reduced disease activity scores and systemic inflammatory markers in patients. Additionally, moringa supplementation alleviated depression associated with rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting a dual therapeutic impact.

We formulated naturally colored, mayonnaise-like oil-in-water emulsions using 55% canola oil and yeast protein extracts (YPEs) as emulsifiers and polyphenol-rich ingredients derived from red cabbage and butterfly pea flower. The resulting systems were characterized for rheological behavior, texture, droplet-size distribution, lipid oxidation (peroxide value) and microbiological stability. Two distinct YPEs produced emulsions with different microstructural and mechanical properties, highlighting the role of protein composition on emulsion architecture. Incorporation of anthocyanin-rich polyphenol matrices (red cabbage extracts characterized by predominantly simple acylations and butterfly pea flower extracts containing complex acylations, both at similar purities) modulated emulsion structuring and stability during storage, beyond color delivery. Overall, polyphenol addition strengthened emulsion structure, as evidenced by a significant increase in plateau modulus from 621 Pa to 1428 Pa in emulsions with complete YPE and butterfly pea extract and mitigated lipid oxidation, supporting their use as partial replacement options for additives such as EDTA in clean-label formulations. These findings provide a practical basis for designing functional, and visually attractive vegan emulsions that align with consumer demand for additive-reduced products.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41897497/","authors":["Almeida B","Costa AC","Vinagre F","Prista C","Centeno F","Freitas V","Raymundo A","Soares S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 11","doi":"10.3390/antiox15030351","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41897401","name":"Gintonin as a Lysophosphatidic Acid-Enriched GPCR Ligand System: Molecular Architecture and Receptor Pharmacology in Panax ginseng.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"For decades, the pharmacological identity of Panax ginseng has been primarily attributed to triterpenoid saponins known as ginsenosides. However, accumulating evidence indicates that ginseng also contains a structurally distinct lipid-protein complex, termed gintonin, enriched in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) species. Unlike ginsenosides, which predominantly exert modulatory effects on membrane dynamics and intracellular kinase pathways, gintonin directly activates LPA G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), thereby inducing rapid phospholipase C (PLC) activation and intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization. Biochemical analyses have identified major LPA species within the gintonin fraction, including C16:0, C18:1, and other unsaturated LPA species such as C18:2 stabilized within a proteinaceous matrix that may influence receptor engagement kinetics. Pharmacological studies demonstrate that gintonin preferentially activates LPA 1 and LPA 3 receptor subtypes, triggering downstream signaling cascades involving MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and Rho pathways. These receptor-mediated effects occur on a rapid temporal scale, distinguishing gintonin from the slower transcriptional and kinase-modulating actions of ginsenosides. In this review, we synthesize current evidence regarding the chemical architecture, receptor pharmacology, and signaling dynamics of gintonin and propose a dual signaling framework in which steroid-like saponins and lipid GPCR ligands represent complementary molecular axes within P. ginseng . Recognition of this layered signaling organization refines the molecular understanding of ginseng biology and highlights gintonin as a unique plant-derived GPCR ligand system.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41897401/","authors":["Kim KH","Yoo BC"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 19","doi":"10.3390/biom16030465","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41896950","name":"Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.)

Modern pharmacological studies have shown that purslane has potent anti-inflammatory effects. However, its potential role in ameliorating atherosclerosis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of purslane extract in ameliorating atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E(ApoE) knock-out (ApoE -/- ) mice. ApoE -/- mice fed a Western diet were administered either purslane ethanol extract (400 mg/kg/day) or a vehicle for 4 weeks. Furthermore, isolated aortas from C57BL/6J mice were treated with lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) with or without purslane extract for ex vivo experiments. Oil red O staining, functional study by wire myograph, fluorescence imaging, and Western blotting were performed. Purslane extract normalized plasma lipid profiles, reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL while increasing HDL in ApoE -/- mice. It also reduced plasma interleulin-6 concentration. Purslane extract reduced atherosclerotic plaque area and ROS accumulation in aortas. Purslane extract improved endothelium-dependent relaxations (EDRs) in ApoE -/- mouse aortas and LPC-treated mouse aortas. Protein expression analysis indicated that purslane extract suppressed vascular inflammation by suppressing the MAPK pathway and enhanced vasorelaxation by activating the AMPK/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. These findings suggest that purslane extract is promising for inhibiting vascular inflammation and retarding the progression of atherosclerosis.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41896950/","authors":["Wang Y","Chen J","Yu H","Yu Y","Fu M","Cheang WS"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1002/mnfr.70449","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41895302","name":"A Knowledge Graph-Driven Hypergeometric Efficacy Prediction Model for Classical Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulas.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The multilevel semantic structure of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas makes their efficacy difficult to represent computationally.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41895302/","authors":["Yuanbai L","Fangzhou L","Yihao L","Yu D","Meng L","Qin Q","Yang Y","Hongming M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Sep","doi":"10.1055/a-2841-4549","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41887381","name":"Shengxian decoction mitigate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice via MerTK mediated macrophage efferocytosis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Shengxian Decoction (SXD) is a classical multi-herb prescription widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for chronic respiratory ailments.

Both enzymes are predominantly expressed in the brain and co-localize with dopamine receptors, positioning them as potential targets for addressing schizophrenia, a disorder characterized by dopamine system dysfunction.

Q. canariensis extracts are the richest in total phenolic, flavonoid and hydrolysable tannin contents. Six phenolic compounds were identified by HPLC-DAD analysis. Chlorogenic acid was the dominant compound in Q. canariensis and Q. ilex acorns. Whereas in Q. suber , caffeic acid was the main component and, along with trans-ferulic acid, was exclusive to this species. Hyperoside was notably identified in Q. canariensis . The UHPLC-DAD-MS analysis of hydrolysable tannins revealed twelve compounds. Acorns of Q. canariensis and Q. suber were dominated by ellagitannins, whereas Q. ilex contained mainly gallotannins. To our knowledge, these compounds are identified for the first time in Tunisian acorns. Q. canariensis exhibited the strongest antioxidant potential with DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays, as well as the highest antibiofilm and anti-α-amylase activities.

Controlled in vitro fermentation has gained attention as a practical method to generate stable, cell-independent bioactivity consistent with postbiotic concepts. This review examines Scopus-indexed studies on fermented medicinal plant extracts, focusing on microbial platforms, fermentation strategies, dominant biotransformation pathways, and functional outcomes. Evidence indicates that fermentation is not a uniform process but follows platform-specific enzymatic pathways that reshape phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, and polysaccharides. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are most frequently applied due to their safety profile and enzymatic capacity, while yeasts and filamentous fungi enable complementary matrix restructuring and deeper chemical modification. Across systems, fermentation-driven biotransformation produces bioactive profiles that persist independently of microbial viability, supporting a postbiotic-oriented interpretation. Applications have been reported in food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and animal nutrition contexts, although clinical translation remains limited. Remaining challenges include incomplete mechanistic understanding, limited standardization, and unclear regulatory positioning.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41829136/","authors":["Travičić V","Pezo L","Sulejmanović M","Tenji D","Perović M","Ćetković G","Ćetković N"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 4","doi":"10.3390/foods15050864","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41829124","name":"Natural Ingredients to Enhance the Antioxidant Capacity in Different Meat Products: A Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The oxidative stability of meat products is a crucial factor determining quality, shelf life, and consumer acceptance, as lipid and protein oxidation promote undesirable changes in sensory attributes and nutritional content. Antioxidant capacity (AOC) assays such as total phenolic content (TPC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS •+ ), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH • ) are commonly applied in meat systems to assess the AOC associated with both intrinsic muscle components (endogenous) and the protective effects of natural ingredients (exogenous added compounds), i.e., antioxidants. Although differences in analytical methodologies limit direct comparisons among studies, it has been demonstrated that meat products inherently contain compounds that modulate oxidative reactions, with their effectiveness influenced by meat type, processing, and storage conditions. Within this framework, natural ingredients, including plant- and fungal-derived ingredients and their by-products, have gained attention as sources of natural antioxidants, whose capacity depends on the extraction method, the solvent used, and their behavior during gastrointestinal digestion, as evaluated using simulated gastrointestinal digestion (sGD) models. Numerous studies have shown that incorporating natural extracts or powders into meat products enhances AOC during refrigerated storage, with the effect generally depending on the concentration used. Moreover, several natural antioxidant treatments maintain or even enhance their AOC when assessed under sGD conditions.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41829124/","authors":["Torres-Martínez BDM","Sánchez-Escalante A","Torrescano-Urrutia GR","Vargas-Sánchez RD"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 3","doi":"10.3390/foods15050852","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41828723","name":"Neuroprotective Effect of the Combined Extract of Mentha piperita and Cornus officinalis Against Neuronal Cell Death and Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairment.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents an intermediate stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of a combined extract of Mentha piperita (MP) and Cornus officinalis (CO) (MC) using in vitro and in vivo models. In SK-N-SH cells, pretreatment with MC (50-150 μg/mL) significantly attenuated H 2 O 2 -induced cellular injury, as evidenced by a reduction in Annexin V-positive cells and an increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF ) mRNA expression. Rosmarinic acid and loganin, the marker compounds of MP and CO, alone or combined at a 6:4 ratio, mitigated H 2 O 2 -induced decreases in cell viability and BDNF mRNA. In the in vivo study, male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered MC (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day) for 28 days, with phosphatidylserine (50 mg/kg/day) serving as a positive control. MC administration significantly improved cognitive performance in rats with scopolamine-induced memory impairment, as demonstrated by increased step-through latency in the passive avoidance test and reduced escape latency in the Morris water maze. Furthermore, in the probe trial, MC-treated rats spent significantly more time in the target quadrant, indicating enhanced spatial memory retention. Mechanistically, MC restored hippocampal acetylcholine levels and reversed the scopolamine-induced decrease in BDNF and its downstream signaling. Specifically, MC upregulated hippocampal BDNF expression and enhanced the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein kinase B (AKT), and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the MC extract possesses potent neuroprotective and learning- and memory-enhancing effects, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for managing age-related cognitive decline and MCI.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41828723/","authors":["Oh KI","Jeong J","Jeong H","Yong Y","Yeo S","Park E","Jeong SY"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 9","doi":"10.3390/ijms27052508","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41828688","name":"Novel Osteoblastogenic Activity of Magnolia kobus: The Pharmacological Potential for Osteoporosis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Magnolia kobus ( M. kobus ) has long been used to treat nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis.

This retrospective cross-sectional study included 441 men who underwent prostate biopsy between 2014 and 2019 due to elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA > 4 ng/mL) or abnormal digital rectal examination. Patients with a previous diagnosis of prostate cancer, history of pelvic radiotherapy, or a family history of prostate cancer were excluded. Participants were categorized into opium users (n = 143) and non-users (n = 298) based on self-reported opium consumption. Demographic characteristics, PSA levels, prostate volume, Gleason score, clinical and pathological stage, and risk group were extracted from medical records. Statistical analyses were performed using independent t-test and chi-square test with a significance level of .05. There were no significant differences in age or body mass index between the 2 groups (P > .05). The proportion of biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer was significantly higher in non-users (63.8%) compared with opium users (53.1%; P = .033). Mean PSA level was also significantly higher in non-users (54.22 ± 1.64) than in opium users (52.28 ± 2.64; P = .046). No significant differences were observed between the groups regarding prostate volume, Gleason score, clinical stage, pathological stage, or risk group classification (P > .05). Opium consumption was not associated with more advanced clinical or pathological features of prostate cancer. However, opium users showed lower PSA levels and a lower rate of cancer detection compared with non-users, suggesting that opium may influence PSA levels and potentially affect prostate cancer detection. Further studies are recommended to clarify the biological effects of opium on PSA and diagnostic accuracy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41824892/","authors":["Mohammadi R","Mirzaei M","Tajik Ghanbari A","Mirolyaie A","Abbasi M","Ranjbaran S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Mar 13","doi":"10.1097/MD.0000000000047975","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41824834","name":"Rosa roxburghii Tratt. enhances fracture healing through multitarget regulation of osteogenesis and angiogenesis: Integrated network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Rosa roxburghii Tratt.

The ranking of efficacy in the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) from network Meta-analysis was as follows:(1) for improving clinical total response rate, Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Shankezhi Injection + conventional western medicine, and Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(2) for reducing mortality, Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, and Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(3) for shortening length of hospital stay, Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine, and Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(4) for reducing duration of mechanical ventilation, Shenqi Fuzheng Injection + conventional western medicine, Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine, and Tanreqing Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(5) for improving arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO_2), Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Danshen Injection + conventional western medicine, and Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(6) for reducing arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO_2), Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine, Tanreqing Injection + conventional western medicine, and Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(7) for improving arterial oxygen saturation(SaO_2), Shenqi Fuzheng Injection + conventional western medicine, Xuebijing Injection + conventional western medicine, and Xingnaojing Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(8) for improving forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV_1), Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine, and Tanreqing Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three;(9) for improving forced vital capacity(FVC), Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection + conventional western medicine, Xuebijing Injection + conventional western medicine, and Tanreqing Injection + conventional western medicine ranked top three. In terms of safety, adverse events were mostly mild and occurred at a low incidence. In conclusion, TCMIs combined with conventional western medicine may offer clinical benefits in the management of COPD with RF. However, due to limitations in the number and quality of studies for each intervention, further rigorously designed RCT should be conducted to validate these findings.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814776/","authors":["Ji WS","Zhang K","Yang H","Yin WJ","Miao XY","He XX","Jing PZ","Wang HF"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250917.501","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814733","name":"[Comparative study on composition and content of β-(1→3)-D-glucan in different medicinal parts of Poria cocos].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Poria cocos is a commonly used bulk traditional Chinese medicinal material, with multiple parts used medicinally, such as Poriae Cutis, Rubra Poria, White Poria, and Poria cum Radix Pini. Polysaccharides are their main active components. Clarifying the composition and content differences of polysaccharides in different medicinal parts of P. cocos can provide a reference for processing and clinical application of P. cocos medicinal materials and decoction pieces. In this paper, high-performance gel permeation chromatography(HPGPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy were employed to qualitatively compare the relative molecular mass distribution and chemical composition of alkali-soluble polysaccharides from different parts of crude P. cocos. The results showed that the composition of alkali-soluble polysaccharides in Rubra Poria and Poriae Cutis was consistent with that in White Poria, all of which were β-(1→3)-D-glucans. The relative molecular mass distribution was also relatively close, ranging approximately from 9.13×10~4 to 1.04×10~5. On the basis of the content determination method of β-(1→3)-D-glucan in P. cocos according to the 2025 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the preparation method of the test sample solution was optimized. Firstly, a desalination step was added, which can enable the test sample chromatogram to present only the chromatographic peak of glucose, thereby reducing the difficulty of separation. Secondly, this experiment discovered for the first time that under acidic conditions, the hydrolysis of β-(1→3)-D-glucan to glucose was accompanied by the generation of a small amount of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF) as a by-product. A more intense acid hydrolysis reaction condition indicated a greater conversion yield of 5-HMF. Therefore, according to the results of single-factor experiments and response surface methodology experiments, the acid hydrolysis time was shortened from 6 h to 1.5 h, which improved the analysis efficiency. After verification, the optimized method was simple and stable, and had good repeatability and accuracy. Then, the optimized quantitative method was used to evaluate the content of β-(1→3)-D-glucan in different parts of crude P. cocos and decoction pieces. The results demonstrated that the content of β-(1→3)-D-glucan in different medicinal parts of P. cocos was in the order of White Poria, Poria cum Radix Pini, Rubra Poria, and Poriae Cutis. Among the commercially available Poria decoction pieces, the content of β-(1→3)-D-glucan in the white and hard decoction pieces was higher than that in the dark and loose-textured decoction pieces.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814733/","authors":["Yang CX","Wang WW","Feng WH","Liu XQ","Zhang YX","Mao HJ","Wang ZM","Yan LH"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20251113.201","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814714","name":"[Development status and issues of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) preparations in medical institutions(hereinafter referred to as "hospital TCM preparations") are fixed-formula preparations developed by TCM medical institutions based on clinical needs.

DR can accelerate the damage to heart and kidney organ functions, prolong hospitalization time, increase mortality rate, and bring a heavy burden to public health. It has become a major global public health problem. Although there are currently many treatment methods for DR, the complex pathophysiological mechanisms and limited clinical efficacy have led to unsatisfactory relief of heart failure and renal failure. Moreover, some DR patients are prone to adverse reactions such as electrolyte imbalance, hypotension, and worsening infection during the treatment process. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment has the characteristics of reducing diuretic resistance while exerting fewer side effects, so some patients have started seeking help from TCM. In TCM, DR falls under the categories of "heart-water disease" and "edema". In terms of etiology, it is mainly associated with aging and chronic illness, innate deficiency, invasion of external pathogens, dietary irregularities, emotional imbalances, and improper work-rest balance. In terms of pathogenesis, it includes water overflow due to Yang deficiency, fluid retention turning into heat, and kidney Yang deficiency. In TCM treatment strategies, for water overflow due to Yang deficiency syndrome, Zhenwu Decoction is recommended; for fluid retention turning into heat syndrome, Mufangji Decoction is recommended; and for kidney Yang deficiency syndrome, Shenqi Pill is recommended. In clinical treatment, based on the principles of "formula-syndrome correspondence" and "integrating disease mechanisms with pathology, and herbal properties with pharmacology", the combined use of TCM and western medicine can help alleviate DR, increase urine output, and improve the quality of life for patients with DR.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814712/","authors":["Hou JL","Wang PQ","Xiong XJ"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250917.505","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814710","name":"[Efficacy and safety of Wenxin Granules in treating chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated by arrhythmia: a systematic review and Meta-analysis].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study systematically evaluated the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Granules in treating chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated by arrhythmia, aiming to provide more reliable evidence-based support for clinical practice.

In conclusion, Changpu Yujin Decoction may exert anti-tic effects by inhibiting the ERS PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 pathway, thereby improving striatal neuroinflammation and reducing neuronal apoptosis in TS model rats.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814704/","authors":["Huang LW","Huang S","Li MX","Sun MY","Sun KX","Wei X","Shi ZG","Shang J","Hu HR","Wang Q"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250829.801","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814703","name":"[Anti-depressant mechanism of Bupleuri Radix in regulating hippocampal FGFR1-5-HT_(1A)R heterodimer formation via intestinal flora-short-chain fatty acids].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Based on the "gut-brain" axis, this study investigated the molecular mechanism of the antidepressant effect of Bupleuri Radix. The effect of Bupleuri Radix on human intestinal flora cultured in vitro was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Differential bacteria were identified by real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR). Short-chain fatty acid(SCFA) content was determined by the GC-FID method. A depression-like mouse model was established using the "triple-one" compound stress method. Mice were administered the aqueous extract of Bupleuri Radix by gavage, transplanted with Bacteroides acidifaciens or spore-forming bacteria, or gavaged with SCFAs. Behavioral changes were assessed. SCFA content in feces was measured by GC-FID. Hippocampal(fibroblast growth factor 21, FGF21) protein expression was detected by Western blot. The formation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A(FGFR1-5-HT_(1A)R) heterodimers was examined using the Duolink PLA method. The results showed that Bupleuri Radix significantly increased the abundance of the three spore-forming bacterial genera Ruminococcus, Dorea, and Blautia(P<0.05), as well as B. acidifaciens(P<0.001). Administration of Bupleuri Radix(P<0.001 or P<0.05) and transplantation of B. acidifaciens(P<0.01) both increased the levels of SCFAs such as acetic acid and butyric acid in bacterial metabolites. Treatment with Bupleuri Radix, transplantation of B. acidifaciens, or high doses of SCFAs significantly improved depression-like behaviors in mice, increased hippocampal FGF21 expression(P<0.05, P<0.01, or P<0.001), and promoted FGFR1-5-HT_(1A)R heterodimer formation(P<0.05 or P<0.01), whereas transplantation of spore-forming bacteria showed no obvious antidepressant effect. In conclusion, the antidepressant effect of Bupleuri Radix is mediated by intestinal bacteria such as B. acidifaciens, which regulate the synthesis and metabolism of SCFAs, thereby modulating hippocampal FGF21 expression and activating FGFR1-5-HT_(1A)R heterodimers.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814703/","authors":["Huang YJ","Xie YL","Mo PY","Tan ZX","Wu XM","Wang SL"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250825.801","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814701","name":"[Mechanism of Shuangshen Yiwei Granules in regulating gastric acid secretion and blocking malignant progression of chronic atrophic gastritis with gastric intestinal metaplasia].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aims to explore the mechanism of Shuangshen Yiwei Granules, an empirical prescription developed by Professor LU Zhi-zheng(a master of TCM), in regulating gastric acid secretion and impeding malignant progression of chronic atrophic gastritis with gastric intestinal metaplasia(GIM). Seventy-two specific-pathogen free(SPF) Wistar male rats were randomly divided into a normal group and a modeling group. GIM model rats were established by a four-factor GIM induction protocol involving "N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG), ranitidine, irregular feeding, and sodium salicylate". After successful modeling, the rats in the modeling group were further divided into a model group, a positive control(Moluodan), and a Shuangshen Yiwei Granules group, with 12 rats in each group. Each group was continuously intervened for eight weeks. General conditions were observed, and pathological changes in the gastric mucosa were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin staining. Serum pepsinogen Ⅰ(PGⅠ), pepsinogen Ⅱ(PGⅡ), and gastrin-17(G-17) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Parietal cell ultrastructure was analyzed via transmission electron microscopy. The apoptosis of gastric glandular cells was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) staining. Gastric pH was measured with precision test strips. The expression of apoptosis pathway-related proteins Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1(TNFR1)/cysteine-aspartic acid protease-8(caspase-8) and acid secretion-related proteins cyclin dependent kinase 5(CDK5)/soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors(SNAREs) in gastric mucosal tissue were detected by Western blot. Compared to the normal group, the model group exhibited lethargy in mental state, pale eyes/ears/claws/tongue, tail desquamation, glandular atrophy of the gastric mucosa with disordered arrangement, and tumor-like structures, significantly reduced PGⅠ, PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio, and G-17(P<0.01), significantly elevated PGⅡ(P<0.01), parietal cell nuclear condensation, loss and abnormal structures of mitochondria, significantly increased gastric glandular apoptosis(P<0.01), and significantly elevated gastric pH(P<0.01). The levels of p-JAK2/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT3, B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)-associated X protein(Bax)/Bcl-2, TNFR1, TNFR1 associated via death domain(TRADD), Fas-associated death domain(FADD), and cleaved caspase-8/caspase-8 significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01), while histamine receptor H_2(HRH_2), CDK5, syntaxin 3(STX3), and synaptosome associated protein 25(SNAP25) significantly decreased(P<0.05).

Hyperuricemia was induced by continuous intragastric administration of potassium oxonate(200 mg·kg~(-1)), hypoxanthine(500 mg·kg~(-1)), and adenine(50 mg·kg~(-1)) for 21 days, while drug treatment was administered simultaneously. Serum and liver tissues were collected to measure the levels of uric acid(UA), creatinine(Cr), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), and xanthine oxidase(XOD). Renal tissues were subjected to histopathological examination. Additionally, untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed on serum samples, and fecal metagenomics sequencing was conducted to analyze the composition of the gut microbiota. The results showed that ZPG effectively reduced the levels of serum UA, Cr, and BUN in hyperuricemic rats, inhibited XOD activity in both serum and liver, alleviated renal pathological damage, and mitigated inflammatory responses. Metabolomics analysis identified 16 differential metabolites, mainly involved in lipid metabolism, purine metabolism, and amino acid metabolism pathways. The results of fecal metagenomics analysis revealed that ZPG restored the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio and increased the relative abundance of probiotics such as Lactobacillus＿johnsonii, Limosilactobacillus＿reuteri, and Ligilactobacillus＿murinus. In summary, ZPG effectively reduces serum UA levels, improves renal injury, and attenuates inflammatory symptoms in hyperuricemic rats. These effects may be attributed to its inhibition of XOD activity, correction of inflammatory lipid metabolism abnormalities, regulation of disordered purine metabolism, and modulation of gut microbiota structure.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814700/","authors":["Wu D","Niu JJ","Hu JP","Wang H","Kuang HX"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250725.705","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814699","name":"[Mechanistic study of Maiguan Fukang Tablets against atherosclerosis based on UHPLC-QE-MS, network pharmacology, and animal experiments].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aims to investigate the anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of Maiguan Fukang Tablets(MGFK) by integrating ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry(UHPLC-QE-MS), network pharmacology, and animal experiments.

Network pharmacology databases were utilized to retrieve drug targets and disease-related targets, and a "component-target-disease" network was constructed, yielding 418 overlapping potential therapeutic targets. These targets were further analyzed via protein-protein interaction(PPI) network, Gene Ontology(GO) enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment, which revealed significant associations primarily with inflammatory response, negative regulation of apoptotic process, and the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT) signaling pathway. Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding affinities between protein kinase B1(AKT1) and core active compounds including luteolin, liquiritigenin, apigenin, and kaempferol. An atherosclerosis(AS) model was established in ApoE~(-/-) mice by feeding a high-fat diet for 14 weeks, and mice were randomly divided into a model group, MGFK high-dose group, MGFK low-dose group, and atorvastatin group. Experimental results confirmed that MGFK significantly reduced aortic plaque area, decreased lipid and foam cell proportion within plaques, lowered serum total cholesterol(TC), and reduced the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β, and IL-6. Furthermore, MGFK decreased the apoptosis rate within plaques, upregulated B-cell lymphoma-2(BCL-2) expression, downregulated BCL-2-associated X protein(BAX) and cleaved caspase-3, and promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. These findings suggest that MGFK exerts anti-atherosclerotic effects potentially by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby reducing apoptosis within plaques, lowering levels of inflammatory cytokines and blood lipids, and attenuating plaque size, lipid content, and foam cell formation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814699/","authors":["Peng YX","Li HZ","Yang WW","Liao FF","Qu H","Long LZ","Fu CG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250725.706","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"pmid:41814698","name":"[Mechanism of Huanglian Wendan Decoction in ameliorating feeding imbalance induced by olanzapine in mice based on NLRP3-mediated neuroinflammation and leptin resistance].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Huanglian Wendan Decoction(HLWDD) in ameliorating the feeding imbalance induced by olanzapine in mice.

The model group was orally administered olanzapine for five weeks, while the HLWDD group was simultaneously given the corresponding dose of HLWDD via gavage. Body weight and food intake were monitored regularly during the administration period. Serum leptin, interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and interleukin-18(IL-18) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin(POMC), proto-oncogene c-FOS, and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p-STAT3), and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were performed to quantify the expression of neuropeptide Y(NPY), POMC, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3), leptin receptor(LEPR), NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC), N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D(GSDMD-N), cleaved caspase-1, and IL-1β. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the model group showed significantly increased body weight, cumulative food intake, and levels of serum leptin, IL-1β, and IL-18.

Compared with those of the model group, the body weight, cumulative food intake, and serum leptin, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels, as well as leptin resistance showed varying degrees of decrease in the HLWDD groups at all doses and the metformin group, with the most significant differences observed in the high-dose HLWDD and metformin groups. mRNA and protein detection showed significantly elevated expression of NPY, SOCS3, NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, GSDMD-N, and IL-1β, as well as significantly reduced protein expression of POMC and LEPR in the arcuate nucleus of the model group compared with those of the control group. Conversely, compared with those of the model group, the expression of NPY, SOCS3, NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, GSDMD-N, and IL-1β was significantly downregulated, and the expression of POMC and LEPR was significantly upregulated in the medium-and high-dose HLWDD groups and the metformin group.

A COPD-PH rat model was established using a combined protocol of forced swimming, passive smoking, and hypoxic exposure. Rats were divided into five groups(n=15 each), i.e., control, model, QBPF, QBPF + nigericin(NLRP3 activator), and simvastatin groups. After 4 weeks of continuous intervention, lung function was assessed. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP) was measured by right heart catheterization. Hearts were weighed to calculate right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI). Serum inflammatory cytokines IL-8, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. Lung histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect protein expression and localization of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC), Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 in lung tissues. Immunofluorescence examined co-localization of Vimentin(a PAAFs marker) and GSDMD. Ultrastructural changes of PAAFs were observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). RESULTS:: showed that QBPF treatment delayed the decline of FEV0.3, FVC, and FEV0.3/FVC in COPD-PH rats, reduced mPAP, RVHI, and serum levels of IL-8, IL-18, and TNF-α, improved emphysema, pulmonary arterial wall thickening, and inflammatory cell infiltration, decreased expression of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 proteins in lung tissue and pulmonary artery adventitia, and inhibited pyroptosis of PAAFs. The NLRP3 activator nigericin antagonized the inhibitory effects of QBPF on pyroptosis-related protein expression and PAAF pyroptosis. In conclusion, QBPF attenuates lung function decline, suppresses inflammatory responses, alleviates pulmonary vascular remodeling, and intervenes in the disease progression of COPD complicated by PH in rats. Its mechanisms may be related to modulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway to inhibit PAAF pyroptosis.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41814697/","authors":["Tong XL","Zhang L","Zhu J","Tong JB","Yang C","Wang XL","Li ZG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250812.701","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:20.537Z"},{"id":"doi:10.9734/bpi/acpr/v8/3013g","name":"Herbal Medicine of Garhwa District, Jharkhand, India","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.9734/bpi/acpr/v8/3013g","authors":["Tasbeeha Taab Zarrin","Satya Narain"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-22T07:06:34Z","doi":"10.9734/bpi/acpr/v8/3013g","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4103/jahm.jahm_6_24","name":"Mainstreaming Ayurveda: Policy Challenges in Global Acceptance","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jahm.jahm_6_24","authors":["Vivek Brijbahal Singh"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-12T17:34:20Z","doi":"10.4103/jahm.jahm_6_24","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100397","name":"Echinacea spp.: The cold-fighter herbal remedy?","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prmcm.2024.100397","authors":["Eleni Kakouri","Marjan Talebi","Petros A.

However, earlier studies were performed when cannabis was predominantly illegal, its production was mostly uncontrolled, and the idea of medical cannabis was incipient only. We hypothesized that recent changes in attitudes and legislations may have favorably affected research. In addition, publication bias against cannabis may have also decreased. To investigate this hypothesis, we conducted a systematic review of research studies published over the last three years. We found 156 relevant studies. In most cross-sectional studies, depression was higher in those who consumed cannabis than in those who did not. An increase in cannabis consumption was typically followed by an increase in depression, whereas withdrawal from cannabis ameliorated depression in most cases. Albeit medical cannabis reduced depression in most studies, none of these were placebo controlled. In clinical studies published in the same period, placebo also ameliorated depression and in addition, the average effect size of placebo was larger than the average effect size of medical cannabis. We also investigated the plausibility of the antidepressant effects of cannabis by reviewing molecular and pharmacological studies. Taken together, the reviewed findings do not support the antidepressant effects of herbal cannabis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202404.1639.v1","authors":["Jozsef Haller"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-29T08:42:45Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202404.1639.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003403968-19","name":"Herbal Wisdom through Time","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003403968-19","authors":["Shabnum Shaheen","Sobia Sarwar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-26T19:59:20Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003403968-19","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_27","name":"Evidence from the Use of Herbal Medicines in the Management and Prevention of Common Eye Diseases","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_27","authors":["Prasann Kumar","Aman Khokhar","Shipa Rani Dey"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-22T04:42:13Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_27","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100901","name":"Anethum graveolens L. restores expression of free fatty acid synthesis-related genes in high fat induced-HepG2 cells","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100901","authors":["Waranya Chatuphonprasert","Nadta Sukkasem","Pattaraporn Maneechot","Jintanaporn Wattanathorn","Kanokwan Jarukamjorn"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-05T17:08:17Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100901","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100837","name":"Effect of Lantana camara Ethanolic Leaf Extract on Survival and Migration of MDA-MB-231 Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Line","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2023.100837","authors":["A.

In evaluating the viability of circular models for the development of health-promotional substances and final products, it is important to highlight that the processing industry of fruits and other valuable herbal materials generates a considerable number of by-products and waste containing health-promoting components. These by-products can be utilized purposefully used in pharmaceuticals and related areas for the development of health promotional products. The linear utilization of agricultural waste results in the loss of a range of valuable bioactive compounds, including polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonoids, phe-nolic acids, and related compounds), antioxidants from other groups, as well as phytosterols, tocopherols and fatty acids. As an illustrative example, the waste materials of species belonging to the Vaccinium genus represent a notable secondary resource that can be purposefully applied to the development of health-promoting substances. The fruits of these wasted herbal materials have been found to contain reliable polyphenols, which play a pivotal role in the prevention of various chronic conditions, including precancerous conditions, inflammatory diseases and other ailments. In addition, the fruits of blackberries, elderberries, and purple corn which are similarly rich in anthocyanins also provide a promising avenue for further developments. Phenolic compounds suitable for recycling are also found in sugarcane harvesting by-products. Tomato waste contains a significant amount of the valuable carotenoid lycopene. The additional value of the above-mentioned fruit processing by-products may attribute to specified physiological functions, which, if used properly, can contribute to the prevention of certain diseases, and improving of quality of life. This review assessed the scope and gaps in the existing principles on the isolation of health-promoting substances from herbal secondary materials.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202408.0020.v1","authors":["Valdas Jakštas"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-14T06:40:46Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202408.0020.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_42","name":"Proximate Analysis of Herbal Drugs: Methods, Relevance, and Quality Control Aspects","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_42","authors":["Milan Hait","Nand Kumar Kashyap","Saket Singh Chandel","M.

Although Western medicine remains the predominant form of therapy worldwide, many advocates argue that TCHM addresses the root causes of illness, whereas Western medicine primarily focuses on alleviating symptoms. This difference in approach means that patients using TCHM may experience an initial worsening of symptoms before achieving full recovery. In contrast, patients treated with Western medicine may experience faster symptom relief but could suffer a decrease in immunity after recovery due to a more symptomatic focus. However, with advancements in medical technology and research, certain disadvantages traditionally associated with TCHM have been minimized. This has led some health authorities to recognize TCHM as a viable complementary therapy for treating complex diseases, including cancer. In this paper, I will provide a foundational introduction to TCHM, explore its therapeutic functions and significance, and examine several limitations it continues to face within the context of modern medical practices.","url":"https://doi.org/10.61173/nck0wv11","authors":["Jiatao Cheng"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-31T17:36:52Z","doi":"10.61173/nck0wv11","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1201/9781003452621-11","name":"Protein Targets for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Activity of Traditional Herbal Medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003452621-11","authors":["Maria Shah","Shabana Bibi","Faryal Jahan","Sadia Aziz","Amina Shamas","Dipta Dey"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-17T23:20:58Z","doi":"10.1201/9781003452621-11","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.439Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-21973-3_12-2","name":"Classification of Phytochemicals in Plants with Herbal Value","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-21973-3_12-2","authors":["Sara Taha Abdelkhalek","Jin -Hua Shi","Mei -Xiang Jin","Sherein Saied.

At the beginning of preventive approaches, the idea of regularly consuming herbal products that can have positive effects on autoimmune diseases and making them a part of the diet is common. Beneficial phytochemicals can be reached by consuming these herbal products directly and/or the products obtained from them. In addition, numerous studies have demonstrated that berries offer the potential to protect against autoimmune diseases if they are consumed regularly with their phytochemicals, especially phenols, anthocyanins, vitamins, and specific minor components. There are also studies on the effects of these phytochemicals on autoimmune diseases. It is stated that the regular consumption of berry fruits increases the quality of life, and the protective effect it provides is much easier and less costly than the treatment of autoimmune diseases. This chapter is aimed at revealing the potential of berry fruits to protect from autoimmune diseases, reduce the negative effects of the disease, and/or support treatment.

The disease's typical symptoms include stiffness, persistent discomfort, exhaustion, motor and mobility problems, and cognitive deficits. Although immunosuppressive and immune-modulating medications have been the fundamental basis of MS treatment, there is currently no known treatment for the disease. Herbaloriginated therapies are now being considered a possible therapeutic option for MS by using medicinal plant extracts or phytochemicals. Numerous research works have emphasized the medicinal herbs' anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which make them a natural treatment for MS. According to the literature, several plants, such as hemp, turmeric, ginkgo, St. John's wort, black cumin, ginseng, and ginger have been reported to have various therapeutic effects in MS patients. Otherwise, the most promising substances that have been suggested to treat MS symptoms include curcumin, resveratrol, cannabinoids, apigenin, omega 3, and vitamin D. In this chapter, we compiled medicinal plants, and phytochemicals that have potential effects on MS. It is suggested that clinical trials were conducted on MS patients with medicinal plants, which were prominent in vivo findings. We also advise further research in this field to identify the precise active ingredients present in these extracts for the best composition necessary for the intended therapeutic effect.","url":"https://doi.org/10.2174/9789815305005124010010","authors":["Ceylan Dönmez","Fatma Ayaz","Nuraniye Eruygur"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-30T04:03:07Z","doi":"10.2174/9789815305005124010010","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/molecules29153498","name":"Comparative Analysis of Hydrosol Volatile Components of Citrus × Aurantium ‘Daidai’ and Citrus × Aurantium L.

The results show that a total of 106 volatiles were detected in hydrosols, mainly alcohols, alkenes, and esters, and the high content components of hydrosols were linalool, α-terpineol, and trans-geraniol. In terms of variety, the total and unique components of CAVA hydrosols were much higher than those of CADB hydrosols; the relative contents of 13 components of CAVA hydrosols were greater than those of CADB hydrosols, with geranyl acetate up to 15-fold; all hydrosols had a citrus, floral, and woody aroma. From the pretreatment, more volatile components were retained in the immersion; the relative contents of linalool and α-terpineol were increased by the ultrasound–microwave procedure; and the ultrasound–microwave procedure was favorable for the stimulation of the aroma of CAVA hydrosols, but it diminished the aroma of the CADB hydrosols. This study provides theoretical support for in-depth exploration based on the medicine food homology properties of CAVA and for improving the utilization rate of waste resources.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29153498","authors":["Xinyue Xie","Huiling Xue","Baoshan Ma","Xiaoqian Guo","Yanli Xia","Yuxia Yang","Ke Xu","Ting Li","Xia Luo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-26T06:17:44Z","doi":"10.3390/molecules29153498","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.33235/ajhnm.36.4.168-176","name":"AJHNM tribute to Emeritus Professor Stephen P Myers (1956–2024)","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.33235/ajhnm.36.4.168-176","authors":["Michelle Boyd"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-17T01:37:42Z","doi":"10.33235/ajhnm.36.4.168-176","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_17","name":"Mechanistic Approaches of Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Arthritis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_17","authors":["Rupesh Kumar Pandey","Lubhan Singh","Sokindra Kumar","Manish Pathak","Amit Kumar","Sachin Kumar Jain","Priyanka Pandey","Shiv Shankar Shukla","Ravindra Kumar Pandey","Kratika Daniel"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-22T04:42:13Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-43199-9_17","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1186/s12916-024-03504-x","name":"Retraction Note: DNA barcoding detects contamination and substitution in North American herbal products","source":"crossref","abstract":"This article has been retracted.

These drugs are used to treat viral, bacterial and many other microbial diseases viz. COVID-19, dengue, malaria, cancer and diabetes. Still herbal drug is not achieved prominent place in the health system. This study highlights the significant role of herbal medicine Chronheal-7 to cure COVID-19, dengue, malaria and other microbial infections. Chronheal-7, poly herbal medicine prepared from six different herbs, G. glabra, P. niruri, S. xanthocarpum, B. diffusa, E. alba and W. somnifera. Chronheal-7 effect against SARS-CoV-2 is endorsed by In Vivo and In Vitro studies. Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation \"Chronheal-7\" has shown great potential against viral infections COVID-19 including dengue and chikungunya. The results obtained by In Vitro and In Vivo antiviral studies showed 'Chronheal-7' potential against SARS-CoV-2 virus. COVID-19, dengue and chikungunya infected patients cured by 'Chronheal-7' medicine. SARS-CoV-2 virus infected VeroE6 cell line assay showed anti-viral potential of ‘Chronheal-7’ (49.45% inhibition) after 30 h of incubation and cytotoxicity test showed non-toxicity for human cells. In Vitro and In Vivo studies showed 'Chronheal-7' medicine is effective against COVID-19 along with other viral infections viz. dengue, chikungunya. Chronheal-7 has great potential for management of COVID-19 and microbial aliments. It can be used as one of the immune-modular herbal drug in different viral infections. The authors claim that the Chronheal-7 is antiviral and antimicrobial herbal medicine. This study confirms the antiviral effects of Chronheal-7 on the key human pathogen SARS-CoV-2 and may be used as special drug to cure many viral, bacterial and fungal infections.","url":"https://doi.org/10.69626/csa.2024.0120","authors":["Santosh Gajanan Kate","Vishal Vilas Dawka"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-09-18T21:24:26Z","doi":"10.69626/csa.2024.0120","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100959","name":"Chinese Herbal Bath for Eczema: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 39 Randomised Controlled Trials","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100959","authors":["Yiran Chen","Xiaoxuan Ma","Xiaoya Fei","Ying Luo","Yue Luo","Xin Ma","Le Kuai","Bin Li","Bin Fan","Xiaojie Ding"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-23T12:46:48Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100959","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.31080/asnh.2024.08.1383","name":"Compliance with NAFDAC Herbal Medicine Labeling Regulations: A Case Study of Herbal Remedies in Lagos State","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.31080/asnh.2024.08.1383","authors":["Olalekan Isaac Olatunde","Oluwatosin R Kumolalo","LeRoy C Edozien"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-12T09:43:40Z","doi":"10.31080/asnh.2024.08.1383","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100965","name":"Group B Strep During Pregnancy and Allium sativum L.","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100965","authors":["Kátia Andrea de Menezes Torres","Sônia Maria Rolim Rosa Lima","Maria Thereza Gamberini","Domingos Sávio Rodrigues","Pedro Ismael Silva Junior"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-08T18:40:13Z","doi":"10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100965","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/hm9.0000000000000119","name":"Safety evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine: new era, new strategy","source":"crossref","abstract":"Today, as the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) becomes widespread globally, TCM is confronted with numerous new safety issues and challenges. In particular, the frequent emergence of safety issues/events such as liver and kidney injury associated with traditionally “non-toxic” TCM has overturned the conventional understanding of the toxicity and safety of TCM. This has also posed significant challenges to the development and internationalization of TCM. So, how should we understand the situation and problems of TCM safety? How can we scientifically solve the problems in evaluation and risk control of TCM? Our team proposes the following: First, we must keep pace with the times and view the issues of TCM safety in a dialectical manner, without exaggeration or underestimation. Second, we must break through the traditional perception that toxicity only came from the medicine itself, and innovate the theories of TCM toxicity. Third, we must establish precise prevention and control strategies for TCM with different types of toxicity, promoting a shift in the management of TCM safety risks from passive response to scientific and proactive control. On this basis, we have put forward the concept and methodological system of the “New Outlook on TCM safety”, hoping to provide new theories, strategies, methods, and successful examples for systematically solving the problems in the evaluation and risk control of TCM.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hm9.0000000000000119","authors":["Xu Zhao","Zhaofang Bai","Xiaoyan Zhan","Jiabo Wang","Yungchi Cheng","Xiaohe Xiao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-24T17:00:05Z","doi":"10.1097/hm9.0000000000000119","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1097/hm9.0000000000000128","name":"Scientific exploration and hypotheses concerning the meridian system in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"crossref","abstract":"The meridian theory is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, playing a crucial role in disease diagnosis, treatment, and health preservation. Serving as the media for the effects of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and acupressure massage, meridians exert undeniable impact on the human body. However, the essence of meridians remains a topic of debate. Recent research has primarily focused on their anatomical structures, leading to numerous hypotheses. Simultaneously, other researchers have approached this subject from an energetic perspective, discovering information interactions within the meridian system. These findings suggest that meridians possess both physical and information dimensions, indicating that a singular approach to their study is insufficient. To bridge this gap, a shift from purely structural research toward an exploration of the information aspects of meridians is necessary. By integrating this information approach with traditional meridian theory, it may be possible to develop a new, modernized meridian theory that is aligned with contemporary concepts, making it more accessible and applicable in clinical settings.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/hm9.0000000000000128","authors":["Wenchuan Qi","Bin He","Qingxin Gu","Yongming Li","Fanrong Liang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-07T11:00:34Z","doi":"10.1097/hm9.0000000000000128","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.37448/dt.129125","name":"Mental illness, herbal medicine, climate change and Vimbuza performers in Rumphi, Malawi","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.37448/dt.129125","authors":["Chrispine Nthezemu Kamanga"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-30T00:14:20Z","doi":"10.37448/dt.129125","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.440Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100918","name":"Effect of Liujunzi Decoction on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hermed.2024.100918","authors":["W.

The experimental groups were: G1, low stocking density (30 fish/tank, basal diet); while G2, G3, and G4, high stocking density (60 fish/tank) supplemented with 0, 250, and 500 mg/kg ROPE, respectively. Fish were fed to apparent satiation three times daily for 14 weeks. Results showed that fish subjected to high stocking density (G2) exhibited reduced weight gain, final body weight and protein efficiency ratio, along with elevated feed conversion ratio compared to low-density group (G1). However, supplementation with ROPE significantly improved these growth and feed utilization indices (P < 0.01). Whole-body composition (moisture, protein, lipid, ash) did not differ significantly among treatments (P > 0.05). Additionally, G3 and G4 showed enhanced blood total protein and albumin levels, reduced alanine aminotransferase activity, and lower serum lipid peroxidation (P < 0.05). Antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase and reduced glutathione) and immune parameters (lysozyme activity and immunoglobulin M) were significantly elevated in ROPE-supplemented groups (P < 0.05). Economically, G4 yielded the highest final and relative profit margins among all high-density groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 500 mg/kg ROPE effectively mitigated the adverse impacts of high stocking density by enhancing growth metrics, physiological health, and economic returns in Nile tilapia.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41718887/","authors":["Al-Sagheer AA","Ayyat AMN","Ahmed NH","Ayyat MS","Osman A","El-Latif KMA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 20","doi":"10.1007/s10695-026-01651-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41714465","name":"Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) and its extracts in the alternative treatment of diabetic nephropathy: mechanisms and clinical perspectives.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Diabetic nephropathy (DN), the most prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, affects 20–40% of patients and remains a leading global cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Although numerous studies have focused on therapeutic approaches, comparatively fewer investigations have addressed preventive strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the preventive effect of chlorhexidine combined with a Periplaneta americana extract mouthwash on peri-implant diseases. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent dental implant surgery at the Department of Stomatology, Henan Provincial People’s Hospital, between January 2022 and December 2024. According to postoperative supportive peri-implant care (SPIC) regimens, patients were divided into three groups: (1) clean water rinsing, (2) chlorhexidine mouthwash (during the first 4 weeks post-implantation), and (3) chlorhexidine (during the first 4 weeks post-implantation) combined with Periplaneta americana extract mouthwash (during the first 2 weeks post-implantation). The primary effectiveness endpoint was the incidence of peri-implant diseases at 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 1,268 patients (1,819 implants) were screened, of whom 682 patients (956 implants) were included in the final analysis: 106 patients in the clean water rinsing control group (149 implants), 450 patients in the chlorhexidine group (623 implants), and 126 patients in the chlorhexidine plus Periplaneta americana group (184 implants). The proportions of male patients were 66.0% (70/106), 71.3% (321/450), and 63.5% (80/126), respectively, with mean ages of 60.6 ± 7.2, 60.1 ± 8.1, and 60.4 ± 7.4 years. At 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of peri-implant mucositis was 18.9% (20/106), 10.2% (46/450), and 2.4% (3/126), respectively, with statistically significant differences among the groups (all p < 0.05). In contrast, the incidence of peri-implantitis was 1.9% (2/106), 1.1% (5/450), and 0% (0/126), respectively, with no statistically significant differences among the groups (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study provides evidence that the adjunctive use of chlorhexidine and Periplaneta americana extract mouthwash may reduce the incidence of peri-implant mucositis at 6 months postoperatively.

However, the design, implementation, and interpretation of these analyses are not well characterized. The purpose of this study is to examine the design, conduct and interpret characteristics of sensitivity analyses in Bayesian clinical trials. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify Bayesian clinical trials published from database inception through December 2024. Two reviewers independently performed study selection and full-text screening. Data regarding sensitivity analyses were extracted in duplicate using standardized, pilot-tested data collection forms. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to examine the association between five variables with more likely reporting sensitivity analyses for prior information. RESULTS: Among the 171 included trials, 103 had an accessible study protocol or statistical analysis plan (SAP), of which 36 (35.0%) trials with available protocols or SAPs failed to pre-specify any sensitivity analyses. Sensitivity analyses were reported in 91 (53.2%) trials, with four reporting at least one sensitivity analysis that contradicted the primary analyses. 38 (22.2%) interpreted the results of sensitivity analysis in the discussion section. Post-hoc sensitivity analyses were explicitly described in 16 trials, only five provided a rationale for these analyses. 24 (23.3%) reported sensitivity analyses not pre-specified in the protocol, 47 (45.6%) omitted pre-specified sensitivity analyses from their results, none of these provided a justification. Of the 122 trials that reported using prior distributions, 33 (27.0%) conducted sensitivity analyses on the priors. Among the 58 trials that used informative priors, 22 (37.9%) performed sensitivity analyses; correspondingly, 11 out of 64 trials (17.2%) with non-informative priors did so. Multivariable analysis indicated that both the use of informative priors and the availability of a protocol or SAP were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of conducting sensitivity analyses for priors. CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals gaps in the design, conduct, and reporting of sensitivity analyses for Bayesian trials, especially concerning priors. There is a pressing need to improve and standardize the use of sensitivity analyses in Bayesian clinical trials.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41709164/","authors":["Yao M","Huan J","Liang Q","Jie W","Wang M","Ma Y","Mei F","Liu Y","Xiong Y","Li L","Sun X"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 18","doi":"10.1186/s12874-026-02803-6","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41708247","name":"Unlocking the hidden health benefits of guggulsterone isolated from ancient spices: a comprehensive review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Guggulsterone (GS) is a bioactive compound primarily extracted from the oleo-gum resin of plants in the Commiphora and Boswellia genera. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that GS possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities, with notable therapeutic potential in inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, diabetes mellitus, and various cancers. In this review, we systematically analyzed relevant literature published up to 2024 from the CNKI, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases to summarize the current understanding of GS's pharmacological effects, toxicity profile, and pharmacokinetic properties. The findings indicate that GS exerts potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, antidepressant, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular protective effects, primarily through modulation of key signaling pathways such as the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Nrf2/Keap1, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), AMPK, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/activator protein-1 (AP-1). Additionally, GS may help overcome limitations associated with conventional chemotherapy by modulating drug resistance via regulation of p-glycoprotein activity. Following hepatic metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes, GS does not appear to cause significant adverse effects. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the sources, pharmacological actions, safety, pharmacokinetics, and potential applications of GS. Future research should focus on structural modification of GS, development of novel formulations, and exploration of synergistic combinations with other therapeutic agents to broaden its clinical utility.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41708247/","authors":["Yang X","Ge C","Song J","Hu D","Tan Q","Xu R","Yang M","Han L","Yang Q","Zhang D"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb","doi":"10.1016/S1875-5364(26)61086-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41706175","name":"Antibacterial effect of banana leaf extract-coated sutures against oral pathogens and MRSA: an in vitro study.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of banana leaf extract as a novel antimicrobial coating for surgical sutures, with the primary goal of combating biofilm formation on suture surfaces—the key initiator of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs)—while inhibiting bacterial adhesion and colonization to reduce SSIs and enhance wound healing outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Fresh banana leaves were processed using Soxhlet extraction to isolate bioactive compounds. Sterile non-absorbable sutures were coated with the extract at varying concentrations and tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using agar diffusion and bacterial adhesion assays. RESULT: The banana leaf extract-coated sutures demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against all strains, with zones of inhibition averaging 6.4 ± 1.2 mm (S. aureus), 7.1 ± 1.1 mm (MRSA), 15.8 ± 1.5 mm (S. mutans), 13.6 ± 1.0 mm (E. coli), and 14.3 ± 1.3 mm (E. faecalis) (p < 0.05 vs. controls by ANOVA/Tukey’s test); S. mutans showed the highest susceptibility.

The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated using total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, metal chelation, DPPH and ABTS scavenging tests. The chemical profile of the extract was evaluated by LC-MS/MS analysis. The extract had 83.50 ± 0.11% and 70.73 ± 1.30% inhibition in DPPH and ABTS scavenging tests, respectively. The metal chelation capacity of the extract increased with increasing concentration. The reducing power of the extract (at 2 mg/mL) was similar to that of quercetin (3.521 ± 0.07, 3.831 ± 0.03, respectively). The most abundant substance in the extract was rosmarinic acid (165.611 mg/g extract). In vivo experiments, wound healing occurred faster in the group treated with C. marrubiastrum extracts in pressure wounds created on rats compared to the control groups. Histopathological analyses showed that connective tissue development and vascularization increased and inflammation decreased in this group. In addition, immunohistochemical analyses have shown that C. marrubiastrum extract reduces TNF-α, VEGF and caspase-3 levels, thus inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis. These findings suggest that the wound healing-accelerating effects of C. marrubiastrum are based on strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Many come from contexts where pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are embedded in communal traditions. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the birthplace of cultural safety, limited research has examined African women's maternity experiences. This study forms part of a midwife-led qualitative exploration of the maternity journeys of women from Sub-Saharan Africa in New Zealand, using interpretive description informed by cultural safety and structural competency. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven women between July 2024 and January 2025. Data were analysed inductively using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. Participants described a repertoire of cultural practices, including herbal and dietary remedies, postpartum rituals, and newborn care customs. Herbal medicine was used to ease labour and promote physiological birth, while cultural nutrition supported recovery and breastfeeding. The extended family played a vital role in postpartum recovery and breastfeeding support. Migration, however, disrupted this communal model, leaving women socially isolated in New Zealand. Participants reported loneliness, lack of family care, and, in some cases, a history of postpartum depression. Despite these challenges, women demonstrated resilience, adapting practices and advocating through transnational family ties and community networks. Participants' cultural practices strongly shape maternity expectations yet often conflict with New Zealand's individualised model of care. Addressing these gaps requires culturally safe, structurally competent maternity models that integrate positive cultural traditions and reduce the risk of isolation. The next phase of this project describes women's clinical maternity care experiences, highlights how structural barriers, misdiagnoses rooted in cultural assumptions, and limited recognition of traditional practices further compromise the delivery of woman-centred care.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41687538/","authors":["Fougang DC","Wepa D","Mpofu C"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1016/j.midw.2026.104725","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41684022","name":"Intestinal Protective Effects of a Pomegranate Peel Extract in In Vitro and Ex Vivo Studies.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Recovery of nutritional and bioactive molecules by pomegranate peel (PP) has found wide applications in food and pharmaceutical industries.

This study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of chicory in alleviating DIC and elucidate its active ingredients and potential molecular mechanism. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used to construct DIC models. The rats were prophylactically gavaged chicory to evaluate the therapeutic effect of chicory on DIC. The UPLC-QExactivePlus system was used for the subsequent analysis of heart tissue samples to reveal the potential active ingredients of chicory. The binding of chicory components to uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) was validated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Highly binding ingredients were then utilized in an H9c2 cell model to validate underlying mechanisms. Chicory alleviated Dox-induced cardiac dysfunction and myocardial structural injury, and reversed mitochondrial damage. These protective effects may be attributed to its activation of UCP2 and inhibition of NLRP3 signaling, thereby attenuating Dox-induced cardiac oxidative damage and inflammatory infiltration. Additionally, a total of 15 chemical compositions of chicory into rat heart tissue were characterized. SPR validation demonstrated that nine compounds targeting UCP2 and NLRP3 increased survival rates in Dox-induced H9c2 cells, reduced oxidative and inflammatory levels, and improved mitochondrial function. Chicory could effectively alleviate DIC by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and preserving mitochondrial function.

Although emulsions containing 1.0% w / w xanthan gum exhibited similarly low TSI values and slightly smaller final droplet diameters, formulation E38 showed the smallest increase in droplet size during storage (<1 µm), indicating superior resistance to structural changes over time. Fat composition showed minimal influence on emulsion behavior, suggesting that lipid selection should prioritize nutritional and bioactive value. These findings indicate that emulsions based on enzymatically modified fats and stabilized with natural polysaccharides can serve as physically stable systems with potential applicability in food, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations intended for bioactive compound delivery.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41683409/","authors":["Kowalska M","Wozniak M","Zbikowska A","Szakiel J","Turek P"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 26","doi":"10.3390/molecules31030431","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41683390","name":"Hepatic Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome Induced by Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids from Gynura segetum: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The traditional Chinese medicinal herb Gynura segetum is increasingly recognized for its hepatotoxic potential, primarily attributed to its pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) content. PAs are a leading cause of herb-induced liver injury (HILI) in China and are strongly linked to hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS). This review systematically summarizes the pathogenesis, diagnostic advancements, and therapeutic strategies for PA-induced HSOS. Molecular mechanisms of PA metabolism are detailed, encompassing cytochrome P450-mediated bioactivation and the subsequent formation of pyrrole-protein adducts, which trigger sinusoidal endothelial cell injury and hepatocyte apoptosis. Advances in diagnostic criteria, including the Nanjing Criteria and the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM)-integrated Drum Tower Severity Scoring System, are discussed. Furthermore, emerging biomarkers, such as circulating microRNAs and pyrrole-protein adducts, are examined. Imaging modalities, such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have evolved from descriptive tools into quantitative and prognostic instruments. Therapeutic approaches have evolved from supportive care to precision interventions, including anticoagulation, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and autophagy-modulating agents. A comprehensive literature review, utilizing databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, was conducted to summarize progress since the introduction of the \"Nanjing Guidelines\".

Although their use has been recognized in alternative medicine, the scientific documentation of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of ethanolic extracts from its needles remains insufficiently characterized. The present study aimed to characterize the phytochemical profile of the ethanolic L. decidua extract, evaluate its in vitro antioxidant capacity, and investigate its therapeutic and prophylactic effects on oxidative-nitrosative stress and inflammation. Methods : L. decidua needles were extracted using a modified Squibb repercolation method. Polyphenol and flavonoid content were quantified, and individual phenols were identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI + . The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH, FRAP, H 2 O 2 , and NO scavenging assays. The therapeutic and prophylactic in vivo potential was evaluated in a model of acute inflammation induced with turpentine in male Wistar rats. Serum oxidative markers (TOS, TAC, OSI, MDA, AOPP, 8-OHdG, NO, 3-NT, SH) and inflammatory markers (NFκB-p65, IL-1β, IL-18) were quantified. Results : The extract contained high levels of flavonols and hydroxybenzoic acids; kaempferol glycosides and catechin were the dominant constituents. In vitro, the extract exhibited radical scavenging activities. In vivo, L. decidua attenuated oxidative and nitrosative stress, restored antioxidant defense, and reduced NFκB-p65, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels in a concentration-dependent manner. The L100 concentration most closely approximated the values produced by Trolox and diclofenac. Conclusions : The ethanolic Larix decidua needle extract exerted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in a rat model of acute sterile inflammation, attenuating systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress and pro-inflammatory mediators in a concentration-dependent manner. These preclinical findings support further investigation of standardized L. decidua needle preparations as polyphenol-rich nutraceutical/functional ingredient candidates within preventive and adjunct nutrition strategies targeting oxidative stress-driven inflammation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41683360/","authors":["Bolunduț D","Pârvu AE","Moldovan C","Ranga F","Pârvu M","Dalai CO","Țicolea M","Cecan AD","Pop RM"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 5","doi":"10.3390/nu18030538","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41683249","name":"Water Extract of Polygonati Rhizoma Ameliorates Obesity-Related Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Mice and C2C12 Myotubes.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a metabolic myopathy characterized by the coexistence of obesity and decline of muscle mass and function. Obesity-related muscle atrophy represents a central pathological feature of this condition. Polygonati Rhizoma is widely used as a dietary herb with tonic effects in traditional Asian medicine. This study aims to investigate the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of the water extract of Polygonati Rhizoma (WPR) on obesity-related muscle atrophy. Methods: The effects and potential mechanisms of WPR were explored using an obesity-induced muscle atrophy (OIMA) mouse model, palmitic acid (PA)- or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myotube atrophy models, and a myogenic differentiation model in C2C12 cells. Results: In OIMA mice, WPR attenuated obesity-related skeletal muscle atrophy and improved muscle strength and endurance. In the gastrocnemius muscle, WPR-treated mice showed lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation, increased markers of mitochondrial biogenesis, and an improved balance between protein synthesis and degradation. In PA- or LPS-induced myotube atrophy models, WPR treatment suppressed the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)-mediated proteolysis and NFκB/MAPK-related inflammatory signaling. In addition, WPR promoted myogenic differentiation in C2C12 myoblasts, which was associated with regulation of the p38 MAPK/MyoD/Myogenin axis. Conclusions: Our study suggests that WPR exerts a potential mitigating effect on obesity-related muscle atrophy, and this effect may be associated with the modulation of skeletal muscle inflammatory signaling, mitochondrial function, and protein metabolic balance. These findings are exploratory and provide mechanistic clues for future research aimed at developing potential intervention strategies for obesity-related muscle atrophy.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41683249/","authors":["Shao H","Wang Y","Park YK","Jung HW"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 28","doi":"10.3390/nu18030429","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41681666","name":"Metabolomic Profiling of Endophytic Fungi and the Host Plant Annona jahnii Saff.

The metabolomic study of fungal ( Penicillium sumatraense , Penicillium miczynskii , Penicillium osmophilum , and Penicillium chermesinum ) and plant extracts was carried out using UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS analyses combined with exploratory analysis by Molecular Networking (MN).

The exploratory analysis by MN showed 75 MS features that were detected in the fungi and the host plant; of these, four compounds were putatively identified. The analysis showed 539 MS features with structural similarity to both biological matrices. Fungal extracts showed more promising antioxidant activities when compared to the plant extract. UHPLC combined with Molecular Networking proved to be a powerful strategy to guide the identification of microorganisms capable of biosynthesizing metabolites produced by the host plant.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is considered a major pathological factor in low back pain, yet the underlying mechanisms of IVDD remain incompletely understood. Current treatment strategies primarily focus on symptomatic relief through medication or surgical removal of degenerated tissue, lacking effective interventions that can reverse the degenerative process. This study investigates the role of fatty acid metabolism in IVDD and proposes a novel therapeutic strategy. Through single-cell sequencing and multi-omics analysis of clinical samples, we identified ACOT13 as a key regulator of fatty acid metabolism. We demonstrated that under pathological conditions, ACOT13 inhibits the AMPK/ACC signaling pathway, leading to disrupted fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and subsequently, pyroptosis, which accelerates IVDD progression. Furthermore, we developed an innovative self-assembled nanoparticles based on a traditional Chinese medicine formula. Employing molecular dynamics simulations, we elucidate the self-assembly mechanism, identifying the core constituents and establishing the key roles of hydrophobic interactions, π-π stacking, and hydrogen bonding as the driving forces. Moreover, we revealed that this nano-formulation suppresses ACOT13 function, activates the AMPK/ACC pathway, and improves fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial function, thereby suppressing pyroptosis and ultimately alleviating IVDD progression. In summary, this study explores a novel mechanism of IVDD from the perspective of fatty acid metabolism and identifies key active components (N-QJZG) from a traditional Chinese medicine decoction, providing new insights for IVDD treatment and promoting the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine research.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41656235/","authors":["Qi W","Yuan M","He D","Dou F","Zhang D","Lv K","Yang J","Miao Z","Zhang L","Mao X","Mei Z","Jin H","Pan H","Wang D"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 8","doi":"10.1186/s12951-026-04104-y","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41656208","name":"Plant-based treatment modalities for peri-implant diseases: a scoping review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Implant failures are frequently associated with inflammatory conditions, notably peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Given that various herbal components possess beneficial properties, their potential application in treating peri-implant diseases warrants investigation. This scoping review, therefore, aimed to map the evidence on different plant-based interventions, their modes of action, and their prospective utility in the peri-implant diseases treatment. METHODS: This scoping review adhered to the guidelines established by the Joanna Briggs Institute for scoping reviews and was reported in alignment with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Studies were included if they investigated herbal interventions in any form to treat peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis. Articles were systematically searched across three electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science and was complemented by manual and other online sources searching, between August to October 2024. Randomized control trials, case-reports, books and book chapters, animal studies and in-vitro studies published in English were considered while reviews, editorial notes or opinions were excluded. Data was extracted and synthesized to understand the varied plant parts used as herbal interventions, their modes of delivery and mechanisms of action to treat peri-implant diseases. Qualitative summaries, figure and tables were used to analyse the data. RESULTS: Of the total 2037 articles identified,1939 were eliminated in the deduplication process. Full texts of 33 articles from databases and other online sources were screened based on the pre-decided criteria. Finally, 25 articles [randomized control trials (2),in-vitro studies (18), studies were in-vitro and in-silico studies (3), animal study (1), and in-vivo and in-vitro study (1) ] were included. Varied plants and parts of the plants have been researched, with Curcuma Longa was the most widely researched followed by Cranberry plant for treating peri-implant diseases. Four main modes of action of herbal medicines that make them potential therapeutic agents or adjuncts for treating peri-implant diseases were identified as antimicrobial, anti-biofilm formation, anti-inflammatory and osteoclastogenesis inhibitory action. Studies reported use of plant-based interventions in varied forms such as mouth rinses, implant surface coatings, gel forms and biosynthesis for nanoparticles and demonstrated promising results. CONCLUSION: Herbal medicines in general, and Curcuma longa specifically, exhibited significant potential for utilization as an adjunctive therapy in the management of peri-implant diseases. Their efficacy is attributed to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and osteoclastogenesis-inhibitory properties, which warrant further exploration for the treatment of these conditions.

The shortcoming of new antibiotics with novel mode of action augments this challenge. Nanoparticles, particularly synthesized through green synthesis methods, have emerged as promising agents to combat the growing issue of MDR. The current study focuses on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using seed extract from the traditional medicinal herbaceous plant Phyllanthus maderaspatensis (PM). AgNPs were synthesized by mixing the PM seed extract (PMSE) with 3 mM silver nitrate at 80 °C for 15 min, followed by precipitation using acetone and drying at 70 °C. Characterization of the derived AgNPs with UV spectroscopy resulted absorption maximum at 430 nm. FTIR analysis revealed the capping of functional moieties such as alcohol, amine, aldehyde, alkene and halo to their surfaces. SEM and TEM analysis disclosed the spherical and quasi-spherical shaped nanoparticles, with smooth surface and notable lattice fringes appearance. The size of AgNPs ranges from ~ 5 nm to ~ 78 nm in diameter. The synthesised nanoparticles happen to be highly stable as deduced via mean zeta potential of -37.9 mV. XRD and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum of the synthesized AgNPs conforms the presence of silver in the synthesised nanoparticles. The antimicrobial potential of the synthesized AgNPs against different bacterial strains provides minimum inhibitory concentration values as low as 150 to 225 µg/mL. Additionally, the AgNPs also exhibited outstanding anti-biofilm capabilities. Crystal violet uptake assay and light microscopy studies indicates that membrane disruption contributes to their bactericidal effect. Altogether, the utilization of PMSE as a reducing agent holds promise as a cost-effective, scalable, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional AgNP synthesis methods. This PMSE derived AgNPs demonstrate strong potential for broad applications namely in agriculture for management of PM seeds and across medicine such as development of anti-bacterial coating or as an active ingredient in wound dressing.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41653262/","authors":["Khambhati K","Chaudhari H","Patel V","Ahire P","Gohil N","Bhattacharjee G","Alzahrani KJ","Ramakrishna S","Maurya R","Singh V"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Apr","doi":"10.1007/s12010-026-05590-4","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41650041","name":"Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine injection in the treatment of ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction: A network meta-analysis.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study attempted to assess the efficacy and safety of different herbal injections in combination with conventional therapy (CT) for the treatment of postinfarction ventricular remodeling using a net meta-analysis.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41650041/","authors":["Xiong J","Wu H","Xu T"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 6","doi":"10.1097/MD.0000000000047584","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41649936","name":"In Vitro Anti-Cancer Effects of Artemisia sieberi on Human Breast Cancer Cells: A Systematic Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Artemisia sieberi (Asteraceae) is a grey, dwarf, dry woolly shrub, locally known as \"Shih\" in Arab countries, with significant medicinal properties due to its content of up to 160 active compounds with anti-cancer activity.

This experiment was conducted in the late spring crop season from April 15, 2024, to August 20, 2024, at the Field Science Center for the Northern Biosphere, Hokkaido University, Japan. In this study, the efficacy of an ethanolic extract of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.) leaves was compared with those of the chemical insecticide permethrin 3.2 EC and aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; the control). The experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design in which each treatment comprised three replications consisting of 24 plants in total. Compared with the control, the bottle gourd leaf extract had high biopesticide activity against cabbage looper, increasing the cabbage yield by 15.98%. The yield was almost equal to that achieved with Permethrin 3.2 EC. Compared with the control, the application of the extract significantly decreased looper larval infestation in field-grown cabbage by 41.18%, 39.71%, 52.08%, and 37.96% at the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth weeks, respectively. Five possible biopesticide compounds, namely, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, indole-3-butyric acid, strychnine, phytol and hexadecanoic acid, were identified in the ethanolic extracts of bottle gourd leaves by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Bottle gourd leaf extract has potential as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to toxic chemical pesticides for controlling cabbage looper infestation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41649682/","authors":["Sultana MS","Shimizu N","Itoh T","Iwabuchi K"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 May 23","doi":"10.1007/s44297-025-00050-7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41646445","name":"Vulnerability to anxiety and depression symptoms co-occurring among adult patients at family medicine clinics in Najran University Hospital, Saudi Arabia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Depression and anxiety are pervasive mental health concerns worldwide that pose significant challenges to individuals and societies.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41646445/","authors":["Saeed Alqahtani N"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026","doi":"10.4102/sajpsychiatry.v32i0.2567","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41641880","name":"Ginkgo biloba for cognitive impairment and dementia.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Dementia is a neurocognitive disorder that interferes with cognition and independent functioning.

Unlike previous studies examining samples from different regions and seasons, this research presents the first comprehensive characterization of P. cognatum collected from the Central Black Sea Region (Tokat, 40°01'02″N, 36°28'15″E; 1210 m altitude) during the vegetative growth phase (June 2024), where geographical origin and collection time significantly influence secondary metabolite profiles. This study evaluates the phytochemical profile and multitarget biological activities of P. cognatum extracts obtained using solvents of different polarities (hexane, ethanol, and water). Advanced analytical techniques (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) identified 28 phenolic compounds, with the ethanol extract showing the highest diversity (24 compounds) and total phenolic content (78.6 ± 2.3 mg GAE/g). Compounds identified for the first time in P. cognatum include isoquercetin-3-O-rhamnoside, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, and luteolin-4'-O-glucoside. The ethanol extract demonstrated superior multitarget bioactivity: potent antioxidant activity ( 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) IC 50 : 76.4 ± 2.1 μg/mL), moderate but selective anti-inflammatory effects (COX-2 IC 50 : 145.3 ± 5.2 μg/mL; selectivity index: 2.06, indicating preferential COX-2 inhibition over COX-1) and significant antidiabetic potential (α-amylase IC 50 : 89.3 ± 3.1 μg/mL; α-glucosidase IC 50 : 76.8 ± 2.9 μg/mL), and antimicrobial activity (MIC: 62.5 μg/mL against S. aureus). Notably, this study demonstrates for the first time the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity of P. cognatum (IC 50 : 92.4 ± 3.8 μg/mL), revealing novel epigenetic modulation properties. Molecular docking studies showed strong correlations between binding affinities and experimental IC 50 values (r = -0.87 to -0.91; p < 0.01). Cytotoxicity evaluation showed favorable safety profiles (CC 50 > 500 μg/mL). Docking, IC 50 , and compositional data consistently indicate that quercetin, rutin, chlorogenic acid, and kaempferol are key contributors to the observed antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and HDAC inhibitory effects. These findings establish P. cognatum as a promising multitarget therapeutic agent with novel epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, supporting its potential development for inflammatory, metabolic, and epigenetic-related disorders.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41640243/","authors":["Karaman S","Budak Y","Bozdemir EA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb","doi":"10.1002/open.202500505","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41640033","name":"Atlas-Based Mapping of Traditional Chinese Medicine Effects on Tumor Microcirculation Regulation.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Tumor microcirculation plays a central role in the onset and progression of hypoxia, therapeutic resistance, and immune evasion within the tumor microenvironment.

METHODS: This study was conducted from April 2023 to June 2024. Sixty male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: control, model, tripterygium glycosides tablet (TGT) group, and low, medium, and high doses of SIOL. CIA was induced by subcutaneous injection of bovine type II collagen (CII) and incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA). Treatment groups received corresponding doses of SIOL or TGT. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed through body weight, arthritis index (AI), ankle diameter, and toe volume. Joint tissue pathology, serum and synovial inflammatory factors, macrophage polarization, and plasma metabolites were analyzed using H&E staining, ELISA, flow cytometry, Western blotting, and LC–MS. RESULTS: SIOL significantly reduced AI, ankle diameter, toe volume, and pathological scores compared to the model group. SIOL also decreased serum and synovial proinflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 and IL-4. Medium and high doses of SIOL notably lowered M1 macrophage markers CD86 and iNOS, while elevating M2 markers CD163 and Arg-1. No significant differences were observed between the medium/high SIOL and TGT groups regarding therapeutic effects. Additionally, SIOL (high dose) markedly reduced glucose metabolism-related plasma metabolites, particularly key metabolites in the TCA cycle. A significant correlation was found between macrophage polarization, inflammatory markers, and metabolite levels. CONCLUSION: SIOL alleviates joint inflammation in CIA rats, which is associated with modulation of macrophage polarization and alterations in glucose metabolism.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41629777/","authors":["Maimaitituersun S","Mijiti W","Cong S","Zhao X","Zhou Z","Ji P","Luo L"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Feb 3","doi":"10.1186/s12865-026-00811-1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41626134","name":"Safety of herbal medicine in the postpartum period: A hospital-based single-arm, prospective observational study (SAFEHERE-PC).","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Herbal medicines (HMs) are commonly used during the postpartum period in South Korea; however, comprehensive data regarding their safety remain limited.

In the inflammatory phase, extracts suppressed NF-κB-dependent cytokine production (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6), reduced oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 activation, and disrupted AGE-RAGE signaling, facilitating neutrophil resolution and macrophage reprogramming. During proliferation, interventions upregulated angiogenic factors (VEGF, bFGF, IGF-1) through ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt-eNOS pathways, stimulated fibroblast proliferation, and enhanced collagen deposition. In the remodeling phase, extracts improved tensile strength by modulating MMP-2/9 and TIMP-2 balance, promoting type I collagen maturation and organized fiber architecture. Polyphenol-rich species ( Punica granatum , Quercus infectoria , Polygonatum kingianum ) demonstrated the most robust multi-target activity.

When applying hyperspectral technology to citrus leaf moisture monitoring, the precise quantification of RWC still needs to address issues such as data noise and algorithm adaptability. The noise interference and spectral aliasing in RWC sensitive bands lead to a decrease in the accuracy of moisture inversion in hyperspectral data, and the combined sensitive bands of chlorophyll (LCC) in citrus leaves can affect its estimation accuracy. In order to explore the optimal prediction model for RWC of citrus leaves and accurately control irrigation to improve citrus quality and yield, this study is based on 401-2400 nm spectral data and extracts noise robust features through continuous wavelet transform (CWT) multi-scale decomposition. A high-precision estimation model for citrus leaf RWC is established, and the potential of CWT in RWC quantitative inversion is systematically evaluated. This study is based on the multi-scale analysis characteristics of CWT to probe the time-frequency characteristic patterns associated with RWC and LCC in citrus leaf spectra. Pearson correlation analysis is used to evaluate the effectiveness of features at different decomposition scales, and the successive projections algorithm (SPA) is further used to eliminate band collinearity and extract the optimal sensitive band combination. Finally, based on the selected RWC and LCC-sensitive bands, a high-precision predictive model for citrus leaf RWC was established using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The results revealed that (1) CWT preprocessing markedly boosts the estimation accuracy of RWC and LCC relative to the original spectrum (max improvements: 6% and 3%), proving it enhances spectral sensitivity to these two indices in citrus leaves. (2) Combining CWT and SPA, the resulting predictive model showed higher inversion accuracy than the original spectra. (3) Integrating RWC Scale7 and LCC Scale5-2224/2308 features, the CWT-SPA fusion model showed optimal predictive performance (R 2 = 0.756, RMSE = 0.0214), confirming the value of multi-scale feature joint modeling. Overall, CWT-SPA coupled with LCC spectral traits can boost the spectral response signal of citrus leaf RWC, enhancing its prediction capability and stability.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41600267/","authors":["Qi X","Li Y","Dou S","Li W","Yang Y","Wei M"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 10","doi":"10.3390/s26020467","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41599763","name":"Neuroprotective Potential of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Animal Models of Alzheimer's Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) features progressive cognitive decline and amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation. Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasingly recognised as a mechanistic link between metabolic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Although sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have established glycaemic and cardioprotective benefits, their neuroprotective role remains less well defined. Objectives: This systematic review examines animal studies on the neuroprotective effects of SGLT2i in T2DM and AD models. Methods: A literature search was conducted across the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases, covering January 2014 to November 2024. Heterogeneity was assessed with I 2 , and data were pooled using fixed-effects models, reported as standardised mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. We focus on spatial memory performance as measured by the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test, including escape latency and time spent in the target quadrant, as the primary endpoints. The secondary endpoints of Aβ accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers were also analysed and summarised. Results: Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. A meta-analysis showed that SGLT2i treatment significantly improved spatial memory by reducing the escape latency in both T2DM and AD models. In addition, SGLT2i yielded a significant improvement in spatial memory, as indicated by an increased target quadrant time for both T2DM and AD. Furthermore, SGLT2i reduced Aβ accumulation in the hippocampus and cortex, which met the secondary endpoint; the treatment also lessened oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in animal brains.

This study explored and compared the preventive cardioprotective effects of polyphenols extracted from red (RGP) and white grape pomace (WGP) against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia, with a focus on their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: I-Saline, II-Saline+ISO, III-Ramipril+ISO, IV-WGP+ISO, and V-RGP+ISO. CI was induced in Groups II-V with ISO (45 mg/kg, on day 13), a dose widely used to reproducibly induce myocardial ischemic injury in experimental models. Electrocardiographic parameters, serum oxidative markers, cytokines, and tissue homogenates from the liver and heart were analyzed on day 14. Results: ISO significantly shortened the RR interval and increased the ventricular rate, without significant modulation by any treatment. The reduction in R-wave amplitude caused by ISO was lessened in all treated groups, with RGP showing values closer to Saline (RGP+ISO vs. Saline, p = 0.329). No differences were found among groups for PR segment, QRS duration, QT, or QTc intervals. Furthermore, all treated groups (III-V) showed significant improvements in oxidative and inflammatory markers compared to Saline+ISO ( p < 0.05), with RGP demonstrating the strongest antioxidant activity by maintaining MDA and NO levels close to Saline (RGP+ISO vs. Saline, p > 0.05), while WGP exhibited superior anti-inflammatory effects in cardiac tissue by preserving IL-6 and IL-1β levels comparable to controls (WGP+ISO vs. Saline, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Grape pomace, especially RGP, may offer cardioprotection by decreasing oxidative stress, while WGP more effectively reduces inflammation. The complementary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects observed suggest that combining GP extracts may represent a promising hypothesis for future cardiovascular research.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41599430/","authors":["Măgureanu DC","Pop RM","Chedea VS","Boarescu PM","Gherman ML","Roșian ȘH","Ranga F","Giurca IS","Jianu EM","Cătoi AF","Buzoianu AD","Bocsan IC"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 21","doi":"10.3390/molecules31020383","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41599360","name":"Quality Evaluation and Antioxidant Activity of Cultivated Gentiana siphonantha: An Ethnic Medicine from the Tibetan Plateau.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Gentiana species are widely used in traditional and modern medicine, and Gentiana siphonantha is an important medicinal representative.

Clinicians must identify the potential cause using both anamnestic data and available paraclinical examinations. We present the case of a 55-year-old female patient, admitted to the Internal Medicine 1 Department at the Clinical County Emergency Hospital Bihor, Oradea, Romania. The patient exhibited nonspecific complaints and insignificant pathological antecedents, but from a biochemical perspective, substantial changes in liver transaminase levels were evident. To establish differential diagnoses, a series of biochemical and immunological tests were performed, along with a thorough medical history. It was concluded that the patient regularly consumes herbal infusions, specifically Laurus nobilis leaves, commonly known as Bay Laurel. Although this might be easily overlooked at first glance, a closer examination could explain the current clinical picture. In April 2024, a 55-year-old female patient with no history of liver pathology was admitted. She complained of asthenia fatigue, anorexia, mixed dyspeptic symptoms, diffuse abdominal pain, and a weight loss of 12 kg. The pathology had insidiously started approximately 3 months prior. On examination, the patient had altered general status, anorexia, and was overweight. Biochemically, the patient had elevated liver transaminase values (AST = 196 U/L and ALT = 357 U/L) that continued to rise during hospitalization, despite hepatoprotective treatment. Various paraclinical examinations were performed to exclude other potential causes of hepatic aggression, having excluded ordinary causes. Consequently, a liver biopsy was performed, and the histopathological examination leaned toward a toxic hepatitis etiology. Application of the updated RUCAM scale yielded a score of eight points (\"probable\" HILI-Herb-Induced Liver Injury). Clinical and biochemical improvement was observed after complete cessation of bay leaf tea consumption. This case highlights the potential hepatotoxicity of commonly used culinary herbs when consumed in large quantities or as concentrated infusions and emphasizes the importance of detailed anamnesis regarding herbal product use.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41598335/","authors":["Soare M","Călugăr-Șolea SF","Brisc C","Rus M","Bodog TM","Becheanu G","Brisc CM","Brisc MC"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 22","doi":"10.3390/life16010180","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41596549","name":"Punica granatum L.

Only about 200,000 CL new cases are reported to WHO each year, out of an estimated 600,000 to 1 million worldwide (WHO, 2023). The current study was aimed at scientifically validating the antileishmanial potential of Clematis hirsuta by testing the in vitro antipromastigote activity of Clematis hirsuta decoction and hydro distilled leaves extracts and to test for cytotoxicity. The antipromastigote activities of the extracts of Clematis hirsuta against Leishmania aethiopica and Leishmania donovani at at 100 µg/ml and their cytotoxic effects on human red blood cells were evaluated. The decoction extracts of C. hirsuta inhibited the growth of L. aethiopica and L. donovani by 75.36 ± 1.47% and 87.37 ± 0.39%, respectively, at 100 µg/ml.

This systematic review presents the available evidence on the use of mushroom species for PNI therapy, including the bioactive components and mechanisms of action. Methodology : A comprehensive literature search in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) led to the synthesis of 11 records published between 2010 and 2024. Qualitative analysis revealed the neuroregenerative potential of four mushrooms: Amanita muscaria ( n = 2), Hericium erinaceus ( n = 5), Lignosus rhinocerotis ( n = 3), and Flammulina velutipes ( n = 1), with aqueous extracts as the most common type of ingredients used ( n = 4) relative to specific components such as muscimol, polysaccharide, Erinacine S, and nerve-guided conduits (NGCs). Results : These mushroom-derived treatments enhanced the migration of Schwann cells mainly via the FGF-2 signalling and MAPK pathway. In vivo studies also revealed the ability of H. erinaceus , A. muscaria , and L. rhinocerotis to promote peripheral nerve repair and functional recovery, with evidence suggesting the role of neurotrophic factors, anti-apoptotic signalling, and pro-inflammatory substances. H. erinaceus was identified as the most promising for potential clinical applications, given the stronger evidence-based data and its relatively safer components compared to A. muscuria and other mushroom species.

Consequently, in vitro experiments confirmed that AA-CDs effectively inhibit chondrocyte ferroptosis, consequently mitigating the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Further in vivo validation in a rat osteoarthritis (OA) model demonstrates that AA-CDs administration remarkably alleviates cartilage erosion, osteophyte formation, and synovitis.

However, the pharmacological properties of purified petasins remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to evaluate their antimigraine and anti-neuroinflammatory potential both in vivo and in vitro. Six sesquiterpenoids were isolated via centrifugal partition chromatography and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Male C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to a nitroglycerin model of migraine-like pain, followed by administration of the isolated sesquiterpenoids and mechanical hypersensitivity was evaluated via von Frey filaments. The sesquiterpenoid and neurotransmitter levels in the brain tissues were analyzed via LC‒MS/MS, and the cytokine levels were measured via ELISA. In LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells, anti-inflammatory effects were assessed via Griess assay and a cytokine bead array, and cell viability was measured via MTT assay. Isopetasin significantly attenuated nitroglycerin‒induced mechanical allodynia in both the paw and periorbital regions. These effects may be associated with reduced brain levels of the chemokine CCL2, while LC‒MS/MS confirmed the central bioavailability of isopetasin. In vitro, sesquiterpenoids suppressed LPS‒induced nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokine release, with isopetasin showing the broadest anti-inflammatory activity. Neurochemical profiling revealed modulation of glutamic acid and GABA associated with the excitatory/inhibitory balance. Purified petasins from butterbur rootstocks, particularly isopetasin, display significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity in preclinical migraine model.

Using DEAE-52 cellulose chromatography, the crude Centella asiatica polysaccharide (CAP) was separated into three fractions: P50-1, P50-2, and P50-3. P50-2 showed the greatest inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

An evaluation of the composition demonstrated that the compound P50-2 A, characterized as an acidic heteropolysaccharide, possesses a molecular mass of 3014 kDa. Its structure comprises fucose, rhamnose, mannose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, glucuronic acid, and galacturonic acid, arranged in a molar proportion of 0.83:1.21:6.32:24.36:37.16:19.29:5.48:5.35. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and methylation analysis confirmed that P50-2 A is an arabinogalactan with a pyranose ring structure and 14 methylated sugar residues. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed an irregular, spongy morphology, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated a semi-crystalline structure comprising both amorphous and crystalline phases.

Jeffrey, a plant belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, is widely recognized as a food-medicine homologous species in southern China. In this study, bioactive compounds from S. grosvenorii were investigated, and their potential application in developing functional biscuits was explored. Five triterpenoids were isolated from the 70% ethanol extract: 11-oxomogroside V (1), mogroside VIB (2), 11-oxomogroside VI (3), mogroside V (4), and mogrol (5). Among these, mogroside V exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on α-amylase, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.44 ± 0.009 µM/L, indicating potent enzyme inhibition. Kinetic analyses revealed that compounds 1-5 acted as complex inhibitors of porcine pancreatic α-amylase, interacting with both the enzyme and the PPA-starch complex. Compound 1 functioned as a non-competitive inhibitor, while the others act competitively. Circular dichroism spectroscopy demonstrates that compound 4 induced the most pronounced alteration in the secondary structure of α-amylase, leading to enzyme inhibition. Furthermore, a functional biscuit incorporating S. grosvenorii extract was developed, and texture profile analysis showed that the extract had minimal impact on biscuit texture. These findings highlight the α-amylase inhibitory potential of S. grosvenorii and its promise as a natural sweetener and functional ingredient for improving the nutritional value of baked products.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41526744/","authors":["Yang Q","Yang Q","Wang X","Li W"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 12","doi":"10.1007/s11130-025-01462-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41525003","name":"SOD1 deficiency drives ferroptosis-linked oxidative and reproductive aging, mitigated by ginseng root extract.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Aging is accompanied by cumulative oxidative stress that promotes tissue degeneration and reproductive decline.

Methods: Citrulline concentrations in WM and WMS were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). Four-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 6 weeks and subsequently administered WM (380 mg/kg) or WMS (380 mg/kg) orally for an additional 6 weeks. Body weight, food intake, organ and fat-pad weights, serum biochemical markers, and sodium (Na + ) levels were measured. Histopathological analyses of liver and epididymal adipose tissue were performed to assess non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) scores and adipocyte morphology. Results: WM and WMS contained citrulline at levels substantially higher than those reported for mature watermelons. Both treatments significantly reduced body weight, liver weight, and epididymal fat mass compared with the HFD control. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were lowered in the WM- and WMS-treated groups. Serum Na + concentrations increased by 43.2 ± 7.6% in WM-treated mice and 21.5 ± 6.6% in WMS-treated mice, suggesting enhanced sodium handling. Histological assessment revealed reduced NASH scores and smaller adipocyte sizes in both groups. These improvements are consistent with the known diuretic and metabolic actions of citrulline and potassium. Conclusions: WM and WMS exhibit significant anti-obesity and diuretic effects in HFD-induced obese mice.

SDA or PI (50 mg/kg/day, oral, 5 weeks) was administered, with resveratrol as a positive control. Behavioral, histological, and molecular analyses were performed by investigators blinded to group allocation where feasible. Results : SDA and PI were associated with reduced NOX4/MPO/OPN signals, mainly in GFAP-positive astrocytes, along with recovery of neurogenesis markers (Ki67, DCX, BrdU/NeuN) and synaptic markers (PSD95, synaptophysin), and improved motor performance. Mitochondrial and oxidative injury markers (TIM23, TOM20, OXPHOS subunits; 4-HNE) and apoptotic markers (Bax, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2) also shifted toward Sham levels. Given previous reports of Passiflora extracts' sedative effects, we note that metabolic measures (body weight, food intake, and water intake) were similar across groups; however, specific tests for sedation or arousal were not conducted. Conclusions : These findings offer preclinical evidence that SDA and PI modulate redox-inflammatory and mitochondrial stress signatures and are associated with neurogenic, synaptic, and behavioral improvements in an acute MPTP model.

The combination of quinolones and β-lactams was the measure most commonly taken for intervention. There was a wide range of outcome indicators, with high attention paid to signs and symptoms, physical and chemical tests, and safety events. There were problems such as a lack of attention to the distinction between primary and secondary outcome indicators, insufficient attention to the indicators with TCM characteristics, a lack of uniformity and standardization for the names of outcome indicators, and less use of economic indicators. In terms of quality assessment, most RCTs were rated as "unknown risk of bias" due to unspecified allocation concealment or blinding. Most systematic reviews/Meta-analyses were of "very low quality", and the guidelines/expert consensus lacked standardization in the rigor of their development and application. The results showed that the quality of clinical research on Chinese patent medicines for CAP was generally low. In the future, the design of clinical protocols should be further optimized, and more large-sample, multicenter, long-term follow-up studies should be conducted. Moreover, a core set of outcome indicators with TCM characteristics should be established, and the quality of systematic review/Meta-analysis and guideline/expert consensus literature should be improved so that more high-quality evidence for the treatment of CAP with Chinese patent medicines will be provided.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41507760/","authors":["Huang XJ","Xie K","Yin WJ","Li Z","Wang HF"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Sep","doi":"10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20250604.501","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41507724","name":"[Network Meta-analysis of different traditional Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional western medicine in treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with heart failure].","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Network Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) injections combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease complicated with heart failure.

Selection prioritized experimental studies with robust data. Results show medicinal plants have been used since 2100 BC and remain relevant bioactive sources. The Lauraceae family (2500-3000 species) exhibits remarkable chemical diversity and pharmacological value. A. riparia is particularly notable for producing riparin III, an alkaloid demonstrating: (1) antimicrobial activity against MDR (Multidrug-resistant) clinical isolates, (2) biofilm inhibition, and (3) low toxicity. In vitro studies reveal riparin III causes ultrastructural bacterial damage, including cell wall disorganization and cytoplasmic leakage. When combined with conventional antimicrobials, riparin III shows synergistic effects, significantly reducing MIC values. However, critical challenges remain, including extract standardization and the need for clinical trials to validate therapeutic applications. These findings position natural products - especially Lauraceae-derived compounds - as valuable resources for novel drug development. Riparin III emerges as a particularly promising candidate, though its clinical translation requires further investigation of pharmacokinetics, toxicity profiles, and in vivo efficacy.

Two commercial composts, C1 and C2, collected from two regions in Saudi Arabia and prepared in distinct ways, were used, and their physicochemical properties were characterized. To evaluate the individual and interactive effects of key parameters on their antifungal potential, compost extracts were prepared through a fermentation process, using a full factorial design based on the variation of four parameters at two levels: Temperature (25 and 44 ℃), compost concentration (1/5 and 1/8), glucose concentration (0 and 1 g/l), and fermentation time (3 and 7 days). The obtained extracts were characterized both physicochemically and microbiologically, then tested for their suppressive effect on the mycelial growth of four molecularly identified fungi (Syncephalastrum racemosum (F1), Paramyrothecium roridum (F2), Fusarium oxysporum (F3), and Penicillium italicum (F4)). The effect of the four variables on the inhibition percentage of these fungi showed that most compost extracts inhibited all studied fungi. Therefore, fermentation time significantly affects (p<0.05) the growth inhibition of S. racemosum. The concentration of compost and glucose, as well as fermentation time, significantly affected the growth inhibition of P. italicum (p < 0.05). However, not all studied variables significantly influenced P. roridum and F. oxysporum. The optimal conditions for the highest inhibition rate against S. racemosum were 25 °C, a compost concentration of 1/8, glucose supplementation at 1 g/l, and a fermentation time of 3 days. In contrast, the optimal conditions for P. italicum were 25 °C, a compost concentration of 1/8, without glucose addition, and fermentation times of 3 and 8 days. The Pearson test revealed that fermentation time was the key factor enhancing antifungal efficacy against S. racemosum and P. italicum. At the same time, nitrogen parameters (NTK, NH₄⁺), microbial abundance, and phenolic content synergistically contributed to the suppression of pathogens. Autoclaving and filtration reduced fungal inhibition compared to non-sterile extracts, with autoclaving allowing greater fungal growth than filtration. The microbial composition and biochemical profile of the compost extracts, shaped by fermentation, likely contribute to their antagonistic effects against phytopathogenic fungi, driven by the microbial flora and organic/inorganic compounds.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41491811/","authors":["Jarboui R","Almazyad RS","Azab MS","Moustafa SMN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan 5","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-33153-w","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41485201","name":"Development of Nanocomposite Bioactive Diffusion Films (BDFs) Combined With Gamma Irradiation for Control of the Rice Weevil Sitophilus oryzae, a Stored Product Pest.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"The fumigant toxicity of 6 essential oils (EOs) (Mediterranean, Southern, citrus, cinnamon, Asian, and savory thyme), 2 citrus extracts (CEs: organic OCE and natural NCE), and 2 active formulations (microfluidized nanoemulsions AF-1 and AF-2) was investigated for control of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), a stored product pest. In bioassays, AF-1 and AF-2 at 0.6 µL/mL exhibited higher insecticidal efficacy compared to single EOs and CEs after 72 h of exposure. AF-2 showed higher acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition in rice weevils than AF-1. Oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) of AF-1 and AF-2 were prepared by microfluidization, resulting in a decrease in droplet size (DS) from 232 to 116 nm and 230 to 40 nm, and an increase in encapsulation efficiency (EE) from 30% to 77% and from 11% to 79% respectively. To exploit the insecticidal attributes of these NEs, 6 nanocomposite bioactive diffusion films (BDFs) were prepared based on chitosan (CH), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), or polylactic acid (PLA), all reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and containing either AF-1 or AF-2. Films were evaluated as diffusion devices in bags of rice infested with weevils. CH films induced the highest insect mortality (78%-83%) after 14 days, compared to 6% in controls.

Fourteen metabolites, notably benzofuran neolignans and pentacyclic triterpenes are annotated here for the first time. Quantitative analyses by HPLC-DAD-UV showed that eupomatenoid-5, eupomatenoid-6, and conocarpan were most abundant in leaves, reaching amounts approximately twice those found in branches and stems and about ten times higher than in roots, supporting the optimal defense theory and organ-specific accumulation of bioactive metabolites. Biological assays against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains H37Rv and M299 revealed strong inhibitory activity for the leaf extract and isolated neolignans. Eupomatenoid-5 and eupomatenoid-6 achieved inhibition comparable to rifampicin, with low MIC 50 values, while conocarpan exhibited moderate activity. Antimycobacterial effects were more pronounced against the H37Rv strain, although relevant inhibition was also observed for the hypervirulent M299 strain.

Corylus heterophylla Fisch. male flower extract (CFE), a flavonoid-rich by-product of hazelnut processing, presents a promising yet unexplored neuroprotective candidate. This study investigated the preventive effects and mechanisms of CFE against HNF-induced cognitive decline. Methods: In the present study, mice were pretreated with CFE (200 mg/kg) before the Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration. Cognitive function, inflammation, core pathology, neuroplasticity, gut microbiota and serum metabolites were assessed. The chemical composition of CFE was analyzed by UHPLC-MS and its direct immunomodulatory effects were investigated in BV2 cells. Results: Behavioral assessments demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy. This was evidenced by the recovery from hippocampal damage, accompanied by reduced levels of core pathological markers (Aβ1-42, Tau, p-Tau (Ser404), GSK-3β), decreased expression of pro-inflammatory mediators including IL-33, elevated levels of neurotrophic factors (BDNF and MAP2), and attenuated abnormal activation of astrocytes and microglia. The 16S rRNA analysis confirmed that CFE ameliorated gut microbial dysbiosis. Notably, CFE significantly increased the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae and Lachnospiraceae , while significantly decreased Staphylococcus and Helicobacter . Metabolomics revealed enhanced levels of α-linolenic acid (ALA), serotonin (5-HT) and acetic acid, which correlated positively with Muribaculaceae and Lachnospiraceae . Phytochemical analysis identified luteolin and kaempferol as the predominant flavonoids in CFE. In BV2 cells, CFE, luteolin and kaempferol shifted microglial polarization from the M1 phenotype toward the M2 phenotype.

Data analysis, clustering, and association rules were performed using SPSS and IBM SPSS Modeler. A core herb-drug network was visualized with Cytoscape. Active ingredients and targets of new TCM prescriptions were collected, with disease-related targets being identified through pertinent databases. Further Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway were analyzed via Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. Seventy-Eight prescriptions met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis (2007-2024), containing 320 distinct herbs. The 5 most frequently used single herbs were Cuscuta chinensis Lam., Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, Cyperus rotundus L., Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Fisch. & C.A. Mey. Prominent herbal pairs and triples were identified. Herbs with high frequency were primarily assigned to the liver, kidney, and spleen meridians. They were characterized by warm and plain properties, predominantly displaying bitter and sweet flavors. The clustering analysis yielded 5 novel TCM prescriptions (C1-C5) with specific clinical relevance for PCOS. Potential mechanisms were explored through drug-disease target intersections and KEGG pathways analysis was revealed. TCM patent prescriptions for PCOS were based on \"tonifying the kidney, invigorating the spleen, and smoothing the liver\" for fundamental care, and \"regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and removing dampness,\" \"activating blood circulation and dissolving blood stasis,\" and \"softening hardness to disperse stagnation\" for symptomatic relief. Data mining suggests potential mechanisms and therapeutic pathways that may underpin efficacy, primarily through pathways related to lipid and atherosclerosis, NF-kappa B, AGE-RAGE, Estrogen, FoxO, p53, and TNF signaling pathway.

Traditionally, plant-derived or synthetic antioxidants have been predominantly used. More recently, antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory effects of mussel extracts or mussel-derived hydrolysates have also been explored and proposed for cosmetic applications. However, there is still a lack of scientific research on the antioxidant and anti-aging effects of specific mussel foot proteins, particularly engineered recombinant proteins such as NGT-M001 (hybrid fp-151). Natural mussel adhesive proteins are characterized by an amino acid composition rich in tyrosine and catechol groups such as DOPA, which are believed to possess potent antioxidant activity. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the antioxidant and anti-aging properties of a recombinant mussel adhesive protein (rMAP) lacking DOPA modification, and a rationally designed protein, NGT-M001. Antioxidant activity was assessed using ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging assays, while anti-aging potential was evaluated through collagenase and hyaluronidase inhibition assays. In the ABTS assay, the antioxidant capacity per molar unit of NGT-M001 was 27.76-fold higher than that of Trolox. NGT-M002 (pvFP-5), NGT-M003 (pvFP-5 fragment) and NGT-M004 (FP-1 fragment) exhibited 9.08-fold, 2.84-fold, and 8.54-fold higher activities, respectively. In the DPPH assay, NGT-M001 and NGT-M004 were not detected, whereas NGT-M002 and NGT-M003 showed 3.45-fold and 1.59-fold higher activity than Trolox, respectively. These findings suggest that recombinant mussel adhesive proteins such as NGT-M001 exhibit antioxidant activity and may serve as promising next-generation bioactive ingredients for functional medicine and cosmetic applications to improve skin health and radical scavenging.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41465374/","authors":["Wi S","Lim SA","Jung JY","Yang H","Lee SA","Choi K","Kim JR","Lim MH","Kim YH","Park J","Ha S","Heo Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec 11","doi":"10.3390/ijms262411947","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41465281","name":"A Multi-Layered Analytical Pipeline Combining Informatics, UHPLC-MS/MS, Network Pharmacology, and Bioassays for Elucidating the Skin Anti-Aging Activity of Melampyrum roseum.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Oxidative stress, UV exposure, inflammation, and extracellular matrix degradation collectively drive skin aging, underscoring the need for safe, multi-target therapeutic options.

This workflow was applied to Melampyrum roseum Maxim., a previously unassessed hemiparasitic plant of the Orobanchaceae family, to elucidate its bioactive potential against skin aging. UHPLC-MS/MS profiling annotated 13 secondary metabolites, predominantly flavone aglycones, iridoid glycosides, and phenylpropanoid derivatives. Network pharmacology analysis linked these metabolites to 172 potential skin-aging-associated targets, mainly within inflammatory, ECM, and oxidative-stress pathways. Molecular docking and 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations confirmed stable ligand-target interactions with favorable binding energies, particularly with AKT1, EGFR, PTGS2 and XDH. Validating these predictions, the M. roseum extract demonstrated significant antioxidant activity and effectively suppressed key inflammatory mediators (IL-6, TNF-α, COX-2) and MMP-1 levels in UVB-exposed fibroblasts, notably without significant cytotoxicity. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that M. roseum harbors multifunctional metabolites that modulate key inflammatory and matrix-regulatory pathways, providing preliminary mechanistic evidence for its potential as a promising candidate for natural anti-aging applications.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41465281/","authors":["Cho MH","Ha J","Jin H","An S","Chu S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec 8","doi":"10.3390/ijms262411853","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41465274","name":"Production and Characterization of a Pullulan-Based Facial Mask Incorporating Grape Seed Flour Extract for Cosmeceutical Applications.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study aimed to develop and characterize an eco-friendly facial mask based on the pullulan biopolymer incorporating grape seed flour extract, a sustainable source of polyphenols.

METHODS: COPD was induced in rats using LPS/cigarette smoke. Effects of low, medium, high-dose Bufei Decoction and doxofylline were assessed on lung pathology, function, blood gases, and inflammation. Sch B role was investigated via network pharmacology (identifying active components/targets), molecular docking (schisandrin B-TLR4 binding), and in vivo validation. RESULTS: Bufei Decoction dose-dependently ameliorated COPD-induced lung injury, improved pulmonary function/blood gases, and reduced inflammation (high-dose most effective). Network pharmacology identified 241 Bufei Decoction components (including Sch B) targeting core molecules (TLR4, JAK1, STAT3). Molecular docking confirmed strong Sch B-TLR4 binding. Functional analysis implicated immune/inflammatory pathways. In vivo experiments showed that Sch B dose-dependently alleviated lung injury, improved pulmonary function, reduced the levels of inflammatory markers, and inhibited the M1/M2 macrophage ratio as well as the expression of proteins related to the NF-κB/JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Crucially, TLR4 knockdown reversed Sch B’s protective effects, worsening injury and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Bufei Decoction treats COPD through multi-component synergy. Sch B is a key active component, exerting therapeutic effects by targeting TLR4 to regulate macrophage polarization and inhibit the NF-κB/JAK-STAT signaling pathway, thereby improving lung function and reducing inflammation.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41456077/","authors":["Li X","Lv B","Wang S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec 27","doi":"10.1186/s41065-025-00629-8","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41455794","name":"Anti-inflammatory effects of Lonicera macranthoides Hand.-Mazz based on Spectrum-effect relationship, network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"This study investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of Lonicera macranthoides and its active component isochlorogenic acid C (ILAC) through an integrated approach combining spectrum-effect relationship analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking. Five extracts (S1-S5) were evaluated in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, with S4 demonstrating the strongest inhibition (45.53 ± 0.23%). HPLC fingerprinting identified 12 characteristic peaks, including ILAC and chlorogenic acid. PLS regression analysis revealed these two compounds were most positively correlated with the observed anti-inflammatory activity. Network pharmacology predicted 113 potential anti-inflammatory targets for ILAC, with PPI network analysis identifying 10 core targets (e.g., CASP3, HIF1A, NF-κB1, TLR4). Molecular docking studies suggested ILAC's potential high binding affinity to these targets (<-5 kcal/mol). Together, these in vitro and in silico analyses indicated that ILAC is a key anti-inflammatory constituent in L. macranthoides, likely acting via multi-target interactions with critical inflammatory mediators. The study provided preliminary molecular-level insights into the traditional use of L. macranthoides for inflammatory conditions and suggested ILAC's potential as a candidate for further anti-inflammatory research.

Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of both Moringa species were prepared and evaluated against C. auris and other Candida species (Candida spp.) using zone of inhibition (ZI), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) assays. Phytochemical composition was characterized through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses, while cytotoxicity on mammalian MCF-7 cells was assessed using the MTT assay. Molecular docking and 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to examine the binding of key bioactive compounds to C. auris dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR; PDB: 8CRH). Ethanolic extracts exhibited the strongest antifungal activity (ZI: 16-16.5 mm; MIC: 0.5-0.7 mg/mL), whereas aqueous extracts were comparatively less effective. FTIR spectra revealed prominent peaks corresponding to hydroxyl (O-H), carbonyl (C = O), and C-O functional groups, confirming the presence of alcohols, esters, phenols, and carboxylic acids, while GC-MS identified β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, dihydroxanthin, and vitamin E derivatives as predominant constituents. Docking results revealed high binding affinities for vitamin E (- 86.6 kcal/mol) and stigmasterol (- 83.5 kcal/mol), exceeding that of fluconazole (- 27.3 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamics confirmed stable protein-ligand complexes, with hydrophobic and van der Waals forces dominating the interactions. Cytotoxicity assays revealed low toxicity at antifungal concentrations (IC₅₀ ≥ 120 µg/mL).

Burdock leaves, known for their heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory properties, can be consumed as a vegetable or brewed into tea. According to traditional Chinese medicine, heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory strategies are considered beneficial for the treatment of AD. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether burdock leaves have neuroprotective effects or can alleviate neuroinflammation to delay AD progression. Herein, we found that the decline in learning and memory, as well as cognitive impairments in AD model rats, were significantly improved following burdock leaf intervention. Notably, the medium- and high-dose groups showed superior therapeutic outcomes compared to the low-dose group. Histopathological analysis of rat hippocampal tissue revealed that burdock leaves mitigated hippocampal lesions, neuronal loss, pathological amyloid β-protein accumulation, and abnormal phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated Tau protein. Metabolomics studies identified the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as a key metabolic pathway modulated by burdock leaves in AD regulation. Western blot analysis revealed that the therapeutic effects of burdock leaves may be mediated through the suppression of the STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway and downregulation of inflammatory protein expression. Of note, the present study uncovered that burdock leaves could delay AD progression by ameliorating metabolic dysregulation and inhibiting STAT3/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathways, positioning them as a promising candidate for further exploration in AD therapeutics.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41417181/","authors":["Zhang R","Mu S","Zhang S","Qin X","Du G","Zhou Y"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Dec 19","doi":"10.1007/s11130-025-01455-z","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41405407","name":"Identification of Active Components and Multitarget Mechanism Study of Ephedra and Houttuynia Herb Powder in the Treatment of Mycoplasma Pneumonia in Calves.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Ephedra and Houttuynia Herb Powder (MHYXD) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula widely used in veterinary medicine to treat respiratory infections, such as mycoplasma pneumonia in calves, although its active components and pharmacological mechanisms have remained unclear.

Daily administration of letrozole induced classical PCOS phenotypes including increased cystic follicles, elevated AMH/testosterone levels, and disrupted estrous cycles. STH treatment dose-dependently restored ovulatory function, reduced cystic structures, and normalized corpus luteum volume and endometrial thickness. STH also significantly downregulated AMH and AMHR2 expression at both of transcriptional and protein levels, particularly at the 1.8 mg/kg dose, with effects comparable to those of metformin. STH exerts therapeutic effects in a PCOS model by targeting AMH-mediated ovarian dysfunction. Through combined systems pharmacology and experimental validation, this study supports the potential of STH as a multi-target, endocrine-modulating therapy for PCOS, particularly in cases characterized by elevated AMH activity.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41389252/","authors":["Choi Y","Kwon S","So S","Jeon YD","Kim DY","Kim MH"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2026 Jan","doi":"10.1007/s43032-025-02027-x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41387850","name":"The effect of Hippophae rhamnoides on Hydroxychloroquine-Induced stomatitis in rats.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Stomatitis is the most common mucosal side effect associated with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).

It often brings distressing symptoms, including hair loss, which impacts up to 52% of postmenopausal women due to estrogen decline, increased androgen sensitivity, and oxidative stress. Conventional treatments like minoxidil provide limited efficacy and may cause side effects, underscoring the need for accessible, culturally attuned alternatives. This mini-review explores ethnopharmacological approaches that empower women through traditional remedies targeting multi-mechanistic pathways, supported by emerging clinical data. We conducted a systematic literature search across databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science), focusing on studies from 2015 to 2025 involving botanical interventions. We prioritized randomized controlled trials in vitro studies, and animal models. Key remedies include saw palmetto ( Serenoa repens ), which inhibits 5α-reductase to reduce dihydrotestosterone by approximately 30%-40%; rosemary oil ( Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.), which promotes scalp microcirculation similar to minoxidil; and ginseng ( Panax ginseng C.A.Mey.), which enhances follicle proliferation via ginsenosides. Emerging evidence from 2024 to 2025 reviews highlights multi-target mechanisms in plant extracts, including phytoestrogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Nutraceuticals have demonstrated improved hair density in menopausal cohorts. These low-cost, community-rooted therapies foster women's autonomy and cultural resilience. This mini-review is not comprehensive; it highlights key challenges in current research, such as limited menopausal-specific evidence and standardization gaps. It advocates for future priorities like interdisciplinary trials integrating ethnobotany with modern pharmacology to bridge global health disparities.

Methods: Three NaDES formulations-choline chloride-urea (ChCl: U), choline chloride-citric acid (ChCl: CA), and betaine-urea (Bet: U)-were optimized to extract polyphenols from orange and lemon waste using roller agitation. Extracts were characterized by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Biological activities were assessed in human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Antioxidant activity was measured using a chemiluminescent assay that detects intracellular H 2 O 2 production. The wound-healing potential was evaluated using scratch assays, and cytokine release (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-10) was assessed by ELISA. DNA damage protection was evaluated by quantifying 53BP1 foci following genotoxic exposure (neocarzinostatin). Results : All NaDES extracts showed high polyphenol content, with hesperidin being the primary compound. Pretreatment with the extracts for 24 h significantly reduced intracellular H 2 O 2 levels, confirming their antioxidant efficacy. In scratch assays, extracts enhanced wound closure; notably, the Bet: U-derived orange extract achieved complete closure within 48 h. All extracts increased IL-6 and IL-8 release, consistent with an early pro-regenerative response. Pretreatment with the Bet: U orange extract lowered the number of cells with high 53BP1 foci after genotoxic stress, indicating partial DNA damage protection.

The SBT complex comprises Solms-laubachia eurycarpa , Bergenia purpurascens , Laccifer lacca , and Glycyrrhiza uralensis . Results demonstrated that SBT treatment significantly enhanced cell viability (increased from 52% to 85%) and reduced senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity (from 41.2% to 20%). At the molecular level, SBT exerted bidirectional regulation of the P21/P53/SIRT1 axis, coordinately downregulating the pro-senescence proteins P53 and P21 while upregulating the longevity-associated deacetylase SIRT1. It also modulated the balance of apoptosis-related genes by suppressing Bax and enhancing Bcl-2 expression. In the zebrafish model, SBT significantly strengthened the antioxidant defense system, as indicated by increased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), elevated glutathione (GSH) levels, and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content. These findings confirm that SBT exerts potent anti-senescence effects through bidirectional regulation of the P21/P53/SIRT1 signaling axis, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and inhibition of apoptosis, thereby providing a mechanistic foundation for the development of natural product-based interventions against aging and related diseases.","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41373554/","authors":["Wu J","Dongzhu N","Zhao C","Liang J","Wang N","Suonan D","Sun S"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.82,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025 Nov 25","doi":"10.3390/ijms262311394","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:21.442Z"},{"id":"pmid:41370421","name":"A review on herbal interventions and nanotechnological advancements for managing polycystic ovarian syndrome.","source":"pubmed","abstract":"Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition caused by hormonal imbalance that can't be fully cured, but some symptoms can get better with changes in lifestyle, medications, and fertility treatments.

The literature is based on a search of the Web of Science Core Collection (November 12, 2024) for studies on plant-based supplements and exercise, limited to those with clear mechanistic or clinical relevance. This review delineates the mechanistic roles of plant-derived amino acids, antioxidants, and bioactive extracts in modulating key physiological pathways underlying athletic performance and recovery. Specifically, plant protein formulations have been shown to rival their animal-derived counterparts in stimulating myofibrillar protein synthesis, a cornerstone process in muscle repair and growth. In addition, polyphenols (a major class of plant antioxidants) mitigate exercise-induced oxidative stress through two primary mechanisms: scavenging reactive oxygen species and modulating endothelial function. However, chronic high-dose antioxidant use may attenuate adaptive signaling pathways-such as mTOR or Nrf2 activation-critical for developing exercise-induced physiological adaptations. The review concludes with a discussion of precision dosing as a critical factor in balancing efficacy and safety, and it identifies areas in which further research is needed, including long-term safety data, inter-individual variability, and the development of synergistic phytochemical formulations. The review identifies the need for large-scale research clinical trials to validate causality, optimized delivery systems, and population-specific guidelines to address herb-drug interactions.

Ginkgo biloba (EGb761) is a natural plant that contains several bioactive components with antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. However, its underlying mechanism in inflammatory pain remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the effects and mechanisms of EGb761 on a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain model in rats. Methods: A single dose of CFA was subcutaneously injected into the right hind paws of the rats, after which EGb761 (100 mg/kg/day) was orally administered for 14 days. Results: Oral EGb761 markedly decreased hind paw edema in CFA-treated rats. In addition, EGb761 significantly reduced thermal hyperalgesia by increasing the hot plate latency and improved motor coordination. Notably, EGb761 significantly reduced nitric oxide levels and catalase enzyme activity in the lumbar spinal cord (LSPC) of CFA-treated rats. Furthermore, EGb761 inhibited the mRNA expression of NF-ĸB, CXCL1, and CXCR2. At the histological level, EGb761 prevented CFA-induced tissue and neuronal damage in the LSPC dorsal horn. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that caspase-3 levels were significantly reduced, whereas Bcl-2 expression was insignificantly increased with EGb761 treatment in rats with CFA-induced inflammation. Conclusion: EGb761 alleviated CFA-induced chronic inflammatory pain by attenuating oxidant-antioxidant dysregulation, blocking the NF-κB-CXCL1/CXCR2 inflammatory axis, and counteracting neural cell apoptosis in the LSPC.

Preclinical studies have provided substantial evidence supporting its potential therapeutic effects. However, a systematic synthesis of these findings is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of curcumin on upper gastrointestinal outcomes in animals through systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: Studies were retrieved from three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Embase) and through a hand search in Google Scholar, covering the period from inception to 2024. Animal studies comparing curcumin with control were selected and analyzed using RStudio version 2024.12.0. A random-effects model was applied to estimate the main effect sizes. The risk of bias was assessed using the SYRCLE’s tool. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and qualitative synthesis were also performed. RESULTS: A total of 49 studies were included in the analysis. The results indicated that curcumin significantly improved various outcomes, such as acid output (SMD = -1.47; 95% CI: -2.03–-0.92; p < 0.0001) and ulcer index (SMD = -2.19; 95% CI: -2.64–-1.73; p < 0.0001) in animals. It also improved oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, blood glucose level, and gastric emptying rate. However, the analyses revealed substantial heterogeneity, and the risk of bias was unclear in most studies, with five studies assessed as having a high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS: Curcumin exhibits beneficial effects on various upper gastrointestinal disorders in animal models, including gastric ulcers, diabetic gastroparesis, esophageal diseases, Helicobacter pylori infection, and gastritis.

Treatments are limited, and non-pharmacologic therapies are recommended based on symptomatology. A G2P2002 post-menopausal 60-year-old female with hypertension, obesity, and type II diabetes, and SPS secondary to a paraneoplastic process cause by endometrioid ovarian adenocarcinoma who presented to acupuncture clinic seeking treatment for SPS and its sequela. Her main complaints upon presentation included muscles spasticity causing low back pain, hip flexor pain, insomnia and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. Her mood and quality of life were also noted to be poor at presentation. Materials and Methods: A case report of implementation and customization of acupuncture treatment protocol for the sequelae of SPS including painful spasticity, insomnia, and reduced quality of life is discussed. Outcomes included measures of stiffness (degree of stiffness, distribution of stiffness, heightened sensitivity score) at each visit and health-related quality of life 14 item index at baseline. These outcomes were measured at the initiation of the acupuncture intervention (baseline) and after 9 weeks of weekly acupuncture treatments. These treatments included body acupuncture, electro acupuncture and auricular acupuncture. Acupuncture was performed in addition to her ongoing IVIG therapy. Results: Forward bending increased with maximal benefit observed by treatment 3. Lateral bending showed significant improvement with maximal effect by treatment 4. Timed activity testing (walk and stair climb) initially did not improve but showed a significant and sustained improvement following acupuncture protocol change following week 5. The self-rated quality of life outcome measure of overall health was unchanged (“good” at baseline and at follow-up), but all other quality of life outcome measures showed improvements. Conclusions: SPS is a rare disorder causing substantial impairment for patients affected. The evidence supporting the use of acupuncture specifically for SPS is at most limited, however, the evidence supports the use of acupuncture for many of the symptoms experienced by those with SPS. This case illustrates how acupuncture can be considered as an adjunct therapy to improve the quality of life and function of these patients. More studies are needed to further investigate and optimize acupuncture treatment protocols for this rare disease.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0138","authors":["Kendra Unger","Courtney Pilkerton"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-23T12:45:00Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0138","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_7","name":"The Simple Burn-Penetrate Method in Acupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_7","authors":["Ying Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_7","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0074","name":"How Do You Treat Groin Pain in Adult Patients with Acupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0074","authors":["Arkady Kotlyar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-23T16:26:03Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0074","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0134","name":"How You Treat Hemorrhoids with Acupuncture and/or Chinese Herbs, in Your Practice","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0134","authors":["Arkady Kotlyar"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-10-07T06:28:24Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0134","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0151","name":"Integrative Acupuncture and Herbal Protocol for Managing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatitis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0151","authors":["Bhavit Bansal"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-26T12:12:01Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0151","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2023.0087","name":"Electrical Stimulation of Acupuncture Points Helps Resolve a Child's Failure to Thrive","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Failure to thrive (FTT) is a challenging childhood condition that may lead to developmental delays and requires immediate therapeutic strategies. Children are diagnosed with FTT when their weight or rate of weight gain is significantly below that of other children of similar age and sex. A Pub Med literature search revealed no published acupuncture treatments for failure to thrive or faltering growth. Case: A 2 year, 4 month-old female was presented with FTT and a history of multiple severe congenital medical conditions. Western medical treatment with optimization of tube feeds achieved weight scores in the third-to-fifth percentile range. Acupuncture points were electrically stimulated for the child once monthly for 30 seconds with a Pointer Plus™ at each of 12 traditional Chinese/ Shu Mu points and at several auricular points: Appetite, Stomach, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine bilateral. Results: The patient gained weight during the treatment, increasing monthly as shown on fully naked weight measurements to the 25th percentile, 28th percentile, 32nd percentile, 40th percentile, 46th percentile, 61st percentile, and 65 th percentile. Her treatment was spaced to every 2.5 months after the 46th percentile measurement, and her weight started to level off when it reached the 61st percentile. Conclusions: In this particular case, electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation may have facilitated a weight gain in this female child. EA (nonneedle) research should be explored for FTT.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0087","authors":["Erik K.

The condition affects a patient's physical, social, and psychologic health. It is important for the patient to recover quickly and minimize the risk of long-term sequelae. Therefore, researchers recommend a combination of several therapeutic modalities to shorten the disease's course and improve curative effects. Case: A 34-year-old woman had with right facial weakness. She was diagnosed with House–Brackmann grade III Bell's palsy and received medical therapy. She was also given manual acupuncture at GB-20, BL-2, ST-36, LI-4, TE-5 bilateral, and GV-20. Penetrating needling was given at GB-14 toward Ex-HN-3, ST-7 toward SI-18, SI-18 toward LI-20, ST-6 toward ST-4, and ST-5 toward ST-4 on the affected area, with a 30-minute needle retention. Electroacupuncture (EA) was delivered at ST-7–SI-18, ST-6–ST-5, GB-14–Ex-HN-5, and ST-4–CV-24, with a dense–disperse wave, at a frequency of 10/50 Hz for 20 minutes. She had treatment sessions twice per week, for a total of12 sessions. Results: From her 7th to 12th visit, this patient had reached House–Brackmann grade I. No adverse effects occurred. Conclusions: In this patient, a combination of acupuncture penetrating needling technique and EA played a role to shorten her recovery time and minimize the risk of sequelae of Bell's palsy.

Yet, one renowned physician, William Osler (1849–1919), seemed to stand out among his contemporaries by promoting acupuncture as a form of treatment. Some physicians in the early 1970s proposed that Osler was ahead of his time by including acupuncture in his medical textbook, The Principles and Practice of Medicine (1892). Others, however, dismissed this notion based on an alleged biographical account that Osler’s only witnessed acupuncture treatment was embarrassingly ineffective. Objective: The question that should garner more attention from the medical acupuncturist is not whether Osler was an acupuncturist. The key question should be: Why was Osler not an acupuncturist? This article explores what may have discouraged William Osler from pursuing and promoting acupuncture as a legitimate system of medicine. Methods: This research includes the analysis of all primary and secondary sources connecting William Osler to acupuncture, including The Principles and Practice of Medicine, The Life of Sir William Osler , The Evolution of Modern Medicine, and Bibliotheca Osleriana . Additional sources, including research by two prominent Osler scholars, letters, bulletins, archives, and film, were evaluated. Results: Analysis of all available historical material demonstrates compelling evidence that Osler was not an acupuncturist. Contributing factors included limited access to knowledge, inadequate training, and prevailing attitudes during his lifetime. Conclusions: Creating a more prominent place for medical acupuncture in healthcare requires deep reflection into the history of what forms a physician’s worldview. Understanding what led to Osler’s knowledge and attitude toward acupuncture could inspire innovative strategies to encourage more Western physicians to train in East Asian medicine and integrate it into practice.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0083","authors":["Barbara de la Torre"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-27T05:09:13Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0083","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.002","name":"Holistic integrative medicine declaration","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.002","authors":["Dai-ming FAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-12T07:11:45Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0173","name":"How You Treat Prostatitis Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Acupuncture and/or Chinese Herbs","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0173","authors":["Yolanda Maria Garcia","Lilian Kaori Fujita","Augusto César Ferreira Rocha"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-12-05T06:39:16Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0173","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0053","name":"Exploring Acupuncture as an Adjunctive Therapy for Puberty Menorrhagia: A Case Report","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Puberty menorrhagia, characterized by prolonged and excessive menstrual bleeding between menarche and 19 years of age, presents clinical challenges at adolescents and it is attributed to an immature hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to sustained high estrogen levels and anovulation. This case report explores the efficacy of acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for pubertal menorrhagia of a 16-year-old female with a history of irregular menstrual cycles and excessive bleeding for 41 days. Methodology: Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue and pulse diagnostics of the patient, acupuncture needling at SP4 (Gongsun), PC 6 (Neiguan), KI 14 (Siman), SP 10 (Xuehai), LR 1 (Dadun), CV 6 (Qihai) was given once in a day for a month, each session lasting 20 min targeting to alleviate Liver blood stasis. Result: Following 6 days of treatment, bleeding ceased completely, and subsequent ultrasound assessments after a month revealed reductions in uterine, ovarian size, and complete resolution of endometrial thickening. Onset of next menstruation was on time after a month of acupuncture treatment. Conclusion: These outcomes show acupuncture based on TCM diagnosis has promising effect as an adjunctive therapy for pubertal menorrhagia, regulating the menstrual cycle by improving reproductive health. Further research is warranted to assess the long-term treatment effect.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0053","authors":["Narasimman Prabu","Monicaasun M.

Nevertheless, transitioning from EA to LA requires evidence. This study aims to compare their clinical efficacy and safety. Methods: A randomized single-blind controlled trial was conducted on 76 CTS patients, with 38 patients assigned to receive EA (EA group) and 38 assigned to receive LA (LA group). Acupoints selected for both groups included PC4, PC6, PC7, PC8, LI4, LI10, LI11, HT3, HT7, and LU10. The intervention consisted of 20 sessions over 4 weeks. Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Functional Status Scale (FSS) scores, patients' satisfaction, and adverse events (AEs) were recorded. Results: The LA group demonstrated significantly greater reductions in SSS and FSS scores than the EA group, with mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of −4.29 (−5.40 to −3.18) and −0.73 (−1.24 to −0.24), respectively, after 4 weeks of treatment. Complete symptom, functional recovery, and both were also significantly better in the LA group (relative risks [RR] [95% CI]: 14.00 [1.94 to 101.22], 1.58 [1.24 to 2.02], and 14.00 [1.94 to 101.22], respectively). Overall treatment effectiveness and satisfaction levels were notably higher in the LA group. Six patients experienced AEs in the EA group, whereas no AEs were reported in the LA group. Conclusions: In this study, the findings indicate that LA may offer a safer and more effective alternative to EA. Further studies with longer follow-up periods and assessment of electrodiagnostic changes after intervention are needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0107","authors":["Thy Xuan Kieu","Dieu-Thuong Thi Trinh","Wang Jing"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-09T09:32:00Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0107","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2023.0076","name":"Acupuncture Treatment of Autonomic Nervous Dysfunction in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Narrative Review","source":"crossref","abstract":"Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting middle-age and elderly people.

Autonomic nervous dysfunction is a kind of NMS that includes constipation, hyperhidrosis, seborrheic dermatitis (sebaceous surface), salivation, sexual dysfunction, voiding dysfunction, and orthostatic hypotension. The incidence of autonomic nervous dysfunction is high, and the clinical manifestations are complex and changeable. It can occur before motor symptoms emerge, is closely related to the prognosis of PD, and affects quality of life seriously.

The incidence of dysphagia in patients with PD is 35%–82%. Dysphagia not only affects nutritional intake but also leads to pneumonia, even asphyxia. This study explored the efficacy of tongue acupuncture for treating dysphagia in patients with PD. Materials and Methods: From March 2021 to June 2023, 64 patients with PD-related dysphagia were chosen from Qingdao Central Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Binhai University, both in Qindao, Shandong, China. The patients were divided into a tongue acupuncture group ( n = 32) and a control group ( n = 32). The control group was treated with a VitalStim ® 5900 Swallowing Disorder Therapeutic Instrument (CA, USA), and the tongue acupuncture group had tongue acupuncture at Juqua n (Ex-HN-10) and Haiquan (Ex-HN-11). Swallowing function and nutritional conditions were compared between the 2 groups after all treatments. Results: The total clinical effective rate in the tongue acupuncture group was higher than that of the control group ( P < 0.05). The proportion of grade 1 and grade 2 of the 5-scaled Kubota drinking-water test in the tongue acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the control group (78.13 % versus 31.26 %; P < 0.05), and the proportion of grade 3, grade 4, and grade 5 was significantly lower than that in the control group (21.87 % versus 68.74 %; P < 0.05). After tongue acupuncture, levels of body mass index, upper-arm circumference, triceps skinfold thickness, hemoglobin, serum albumin, and prealbumin were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P < 0.05) and the incidence of complications caused by PD was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Treatment of dysphagia in PD by tongue acupuncture significantly improved swallowing function and nutritional level, and decreased the incidence of complications.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0073","authors":["Xia Gao","Jianying Zhang","Benxu Ma","Lili Liu","Huanmin Gao"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-24T12:54:45Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0073","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.69956/vam.v0i0.62","name":"EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE COMBINED WITH CEREBROLYSIN HYDRO-ACUPUNCTURE ON PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH POST-ACUTE VIRAL ENCEPHALITIS","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objectives: To evaluate the effects of electro-acupuncture combined with cerebrolysin hydro-acupuncture on pediatric patients with post-acute viral encephalitis at National Hospital of Acupuncture in 2023 and survey some unwanted effects of cerebrolysin hydro-acupuncture.

However, the influences of position on the hemodynamic system—including HR, blood pressure (BP), and cardiac output (CO) during acupuncture—remains unclear. This study comprehensively compared cardiovascular changes induced by acupuncture in human beings supine and sitting positions. Materials and Methods: Comprehensive measurements were made of 30 healthy male volunteers, including HR, stroke volume (SV), and BP, in a supine posture for 15 minutes. Manual acupuncture stimulation was performed at the left LI-10 point for 1 minute. After at least 1 week, the same protocol was performed with all subjects in a sitting position. Results: Preacupuncture, there were increases in HR and BP, and decreases in SV and CO in the sitting position, compared with the supine position. Acupuncture stimulation induced HR reduction more when the subjects were in the sitting position, compared with them in the supine position. Acupuncture-induced increase in SV and decrease in diastolic BP were not different in either position. In the sitting position, CO decreased during acupuncture, compared with preacupuncture; this did not occur in the supine position. Conclusions: The effects of acupuncture on the hemodynamic system changed between the supine and sitting positions in healthy young men. Autonomic nervous-tone influences acupuncture-induced cardiovascular changes through physiologic responses, including the somatoautonomic reflex and the baroreflex.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0112","authors":["Misaki Okada","Hiroshi Taniguchi","Sazu Taniguchi","Hiroshi Kitakoji","Kazunori Itoh","Kenji Imai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-12T15:57:15Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0112","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.005","name":"Effect of acupuncture for anisometropic amblyopia: A randomized clinical trial and potential mechanism","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.005","authors":["Cui MA","Jing JIA","Yu-juan YE","Yan SUN","Xing-ke YAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01T20:16:49Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0","name":"Acupuncture Techniques","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3777/jjsam.74.239","name":"Family Acupuncture Medicine and Acupuncture Clinic Management","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.3777/jjsam.74.239","authors":["Ryohei NAKAZAWA"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-02-02T22:13:23Z","doi":"10.3777/jjsam.74.239","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.07.001","name":"World Federation of Acupuncture–Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) Technical Benchmark of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Moxibustion","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.07.001","authors":["Hao-ran CHU","Wei-hong LIU","Jun YANG","Xiao-dong WU","Xiao-ming WANG","Jing-ji WANG","Yun LIU","Jin HU"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-09T06:15:42Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.07.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.03.005","name":"Intraoperative analgesia with wrist- ankle acupuncture: Two case reports on wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with the interfascial plane block for emergency laparotomy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.03.005","authors":["Yan LI","Zhe XU","Feng-fei LIU","Li YANG","Zhi-xia LU","Min-xiao LIU","Zhao-jie LI","Wei HAO"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01T20:16:34Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.03.005","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09645284241248468","name":"Practice recommendations for physiotherapists in Canada managing adverse events associated with acupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"In Canada, acupuncture is a regulated medical practice that involves inserting thin needles at specific points on the body to alleviate pain and other health conditions.

Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of cocaine addiction and has been shown to improve abnormal mental and motor states. This article mainly focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms involving the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) that underlie the effects of acupuncture in the treatment of cocaine addiction. The central dopamine system is a key player in acupuncture treatment of cocaine addiction; the ventral tegmental area (VTA)—nucleus accumbens (NAc) signaling pathway, which has a modulatory influence on behavior and psychology after chronic use of cocaine, is a significant target of acupuncture action. Moreover, acupuncture alleviates cocaine-induced seizures or acute psychomotor responses through the paraventricular thalamus and the lateral habenula (LHb)—rostromedial tegmental (RMTg) nucleus circuits. The data suggest that acupuncture can impact various cocaine-induced issues via stimulation of diverse brain areas; nevertheless, the interconnection of these brain regions and the PNS mechanisms involved remain unknown. In this review, we also discuss the effects of specific acupuncture protocols on cocaine addiction and note that variations in needling modalities, current intensities and traditional acupuncture point locations have led to different experimental results. Therefore, standardized acupuncture protocols (with respect to stimulation methods, point locations and number of sessions) may become particularly important in future studies.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284241248473","authors":["Luqiang Sun","Haichuan Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-06T01:19:50Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284241248473","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2023.0081","name":"Electroacupuncture Therapy for Urinary Retention in an Elderly Patient","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Urinary retention is the inability to urinate voluntarily and difficulty in urinating even when the bladder is full. Acute urinary retention is most common in men aged 60–80. In the past 5 years, 10% of men older than age 70 and almost a third of men in their 80s have experienced acute urinary retention. Risk factors include prostate enlargement, increasing age, African-American race, obesity, diabetes mellitus, high alcohol consumption, and lack of physical activity. Treatment for urinary retention is mainly urethral catheterization, but it can be uncomfortable for a patient in the long term. Case: A 68-year-old man was unable to urinate voluntarily for 3 months and was diagnosed with urinary retention caused by a hypotonic bladder and was initially given a catheter. The patient then received manual acupuncture therapy in acupoints ST-28, CV-3, CV-4 and CV-6, and electroacupuncture (EA) therapy in acupoints SP-6, SP-9, BL-23, BL-25, BL-31, BL-32, BL-33, and BL34, with a continuous-wave, at a frequency of 2 Hz. Acupuncture therapy was carried out for 12 sessions, twice per week. Results: After 5 sessions of acupuncture therapy, the patient's urinary retention was resolved. He felt the urge to urinate and was able to urinate voluntarily even after removing the catheter, He also experienced an increase in his quality of life, as shown on an EQ-5D questionnaire with an increased score from 50 to 80. Conclusions: A combination of manual acupuncture and EA in an elderly patient can be a safe choice to reduce or resolve symptoms of urinary retention.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0081","authors":["Nur Khasanah","Wahyuningsih Djaali","Yoshua Viventius"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-22T16:31:27Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0081","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_18","name":"Electroacupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_18","authors":["Zunli Guo"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_18","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.004","name":"Acupuncture regulating microglial activation in Alzheimer's disease: Research progress in its neuroinflammation mechanism","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.004","authors":["Yu-ting WEI","Ming-li SU","De-lin REN","Xin ZHANG","Tian-tian ZHU","Xing-ke YAN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01T20:16:54Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.04.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.69956/vam.v0i0.65","name":"EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LASER ACUPUNCTURE COMBINED WITH QIGONG IN THE TREATMENT OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of knee osteoarthritis by the laser acupuncture combined with Qigong.

It all started 40 years ago, at the 8th World Congress on Acupuncture in 1983, where I reported nonlinear mathematical model of one acupuncture meridian. The nonlinear model predicted that beside the measured electric impulse, wave should propagate from the treated acupuncture point along the acupuncture meridian. The waves were found a year later and they were found to modify constantly running waves along the acupuncture meridians. Why do all living beings have constantly running waves along the acupuncture meridians? -downward on the back and upward in front. These are the waves of the weak Nonlinear Electromagnetic Field (NEMF) of all living beings, which being nonlinear, can imprint information. The waves (running downward on the back) scan the new environment and the waves running upward in front of the body bring the information about the new environment to the body, telling it how to change to adapt to the new environment. If the required changes to adapt are too big, the living beings evolve to new species. First, the NEMF is modified to adapt the new environment and only if the environment stays the same for a long time, the changed NEMF lead to changed DNA and new species develop with a new DNA. The weak informational NEMF rules and regulates everything in the body, not with its strength but with the information it carries and when this NEMF is out of balance, we restore the balance with acupuncture treatments generating waves. However, we can restore the balance (heal) with waves produced by our new quantum technologies instead of acupuncture needles.","url":"https://doi.org/10.46889/jcim.2024.5202","authors":["Maria Kuman"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-06-13T08:11:52Z","doi":"10.46889/jcim.2024.5202","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2023.0135","name":"Acupuncture for Residual Dizziness After Successful Repositioning Maneuvers in Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Study Protocol for a Randomized Noninferiority Trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo among adults. Successful treatment often requires an appropriate canalith repositioning procedure (CRP), which has proven effective in the treatment of BPPV. However, some patients experience residual dizziness (RD) after CRP, affecting their daily activities and quality of life. Although oral betahistine is a common clinical treatment for RD, some patients may discontinue this medication due to adverse effects. Conversely, acupuncture has demonstrated efficacy in treating dizziness with minimal adverse effects. However, to date, no trials have directly compared the efficacy of acupuncture and betahistine in treating RD. Our goal was to assess the noninferiority of acupuncture in treating RD compared with the commonly used oral betahistine treatment. Methods and Analysis: A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture and betahistine in patients with BPPV who experience RD after a successful CRP. Eighty-four participants were randomly assigned to two treatment groups, each receiving either acupuncture or betahistine. The assessors and statisticians were blinded to treatment allocation. The primary outcomes were the response rate and change in vertigo level, and secondary outcomes included Visual Analog Scores and the presence and change in depressive symptoms among patients. Scale measures were recorded at baseline, 2, 4, and 12 weeks after randomization. This trial aims to provide causal evidence supporting the non-inferiority of acupuncture therapy relative to oral betahistine, offering an alternative treatment avenue for patients intolerant to betahistine. Ethics and Dissemination: Ethics approval was obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with permission number 2023-095-KY.

The aim of this clinical audit was to assess patient outcomes across a small subset of acupuncture practitioners and private practices in the United Kingdom. Methods: The Measure Yourself Medical Outcomes Profile (MYMOP) questionnaire and the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale were used as outcome measures. Additional questions assessed adverse events and patient experience with care. Clinical data were collected utilising an electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) system. Results: Baseline data were collected for a total of 233 health complaints (from 232 patients), of which 45.9% were musculoskeletal and 26.2% were psychological. Follow-up outcomes data were available for 144 health complaints (61.8% completion rate). For PGIC responses, >90% of health complaints were reported as at least ‘minimally improved’. This was reduced to >51% when controlling for missing data. There was a gradual improvement in both mean MYMOP scores (24.5%–43.0%) and PGIC responses of ‘very much improved’ (12.3%–56.3%) over a 6-month period. A clinically significant improvement (>1 point change, p ⩽ 0.001) was seen in mean MYMOP scores compared to baseline from 4 to 8 weeks and symptom 1 MYMOP scores from 1 to 4 weeks. A moderately strong, negative correlation was seen between outcome measures (r = −0.507, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The majority of patients reported clinically meaningful improvements for their main health complaints/symptoms, which appeared to be sustained in the medium to long-term.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284241248471","authors":["Nick Lowe","Natalia Permyakova","Rodney Dutton"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-07T00:48:03Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284241248471","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_3","name":"Basic Needling","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_3","authors":["Weixiang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.049Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0084","name":"The Mystery of Life Energy: Biofield Healing, Phantom Limbs, Group Energetics, and Gaia Consciousness","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0084","authors":["Arnyce R.

As the information available on these websites can significantly impact the overall health of individuals in a society, it is vital for online health information to be presented in a manner that is readable and credible to the general public. To address this concern, the objective of the study was to examine and assess the credibility and readability of websites about acupuncture as a pain management approach. Methods: The research population was represented by websites containing information about pain management using acupuncture found through Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines and with the keywords acupuncture and pain. The websites were evaluated in terms of confirming HON and JAMA criteria. FRE, GFI, FKGL, CLI, SMOG, and ARI indexes were used to assess their readability, and Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to compare the data. Results: This study evaluated 52 websites that appeared on the first three pages of search engine results. Out of the 52 websites analyzed, 40 websites (76.9%) met the validity criteria set by JAMA, while only 21 websites (40.4%) were deemed valid based on the HONcode standards. According to the average readability index (12.38), the contents presented on the websites were at the Difficult to Read level. The mean readability scores of websites across various domains exhibit no statistically significant difference ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of websites that provide acupuncture-related information do meet the verification set by HONcode. Additionally, the scientific and educational content on these websites tends to be more complex than what is recommended by the AMA and NIH. This is concerning given the increasing popularity of online content and the impact it has on public health.

Experiment 2: SR was significantly lower after EA than right after exercise and stayed lower after 15 minutes of EA. Conclusions: EA to the gastrocnemius muscle may promote recovery of gastrocnemius muscle hardness induced by calf-raise exercise.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0018","authors":["Shota Yamashita","Kenichi Kimura"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-18T16:31:26Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2024.0018","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0056","name":"An Unearthed Medical Slip Reveals a Rare Vascular Pathway or Meridian Described 2000 Years Ago","source":"crossref","abstract":"Recently unearthed Tinhui Medical Slips, dating back to 2nd century BCE, demonstrates the 12th meridian in Chinese medicine as an anatomy-based discovery.

Those erroneous reports have likely contributed to the negative views of acupuncture that continue to be promulgated in the Western (allopathic) medical literature by prominent academic physicians and researchers: specifically, that acupuncture lacks a proper scientific basis, and that its clinical benefits most likely result from a potent (“enhanced”) placebo effect.

In this article, the author suggests a practical approach that frames the concept contextually, illustrating differences with three case-histories. Cases: The cases were as follows. A 74-year-old man had low back, left-hip and lateral left-leg pain. Acupuncture addressed his anatomical/structural issues. A 58-year-old woman had left upper-chest discomfort, restricted left-shoulder movement and periodic left frontal headaches and dry eyes. Acupuncture addressed her Etheric body. A 40-year-old woman had headaches and depression associated with grief over family losses. She visited a clinic and met a former patient there with whom she bonded. Acupuncture addressed her emotional state and she experienced subsequent phenomena that enabled her to release her grief. Results: All 3 patients experienced resolution of their symptoms, with the exception of the woman's dry eyes in Case 2. Conclusions: Qi-nature can vary among gross, subtle, and causal levels. These levels can coexist and overlap during treatments of patients.

Methods: In a partnership among the University of Utah College of Nursing and Refuge International, the integrated, health care clinic occurred at hospital in San Raymundo. Before the clinic, nursing faculty offered providers an overview of acupuncture care. Providers referred 11 patients for acupuncture care. After the clinic, seven providers (one cardiologist, one certified nurse midwife, five student nurse midwives) were asked 10 questions in semi-structured interviews about their experience referring patients for acupuncture care. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed to identify themes. Results: Five themes emerged from analysis of the semi-structured interviews. Providers accurately recognized primarily pain, among other reasons, to refer patients for acupuncture care. Providers stated they lacked a comprehensive understanding of acupuncture care and wanted a more thorough education. Providers did not encounter barriers to referring patients for acupuncture care, and referrals did not hinder clinic flow. Providers were enthusiastically receptive to acupuncture care and endorsed expansion of integrated, health care clinics. Providers felt acupuncture care offered an important and culturally acceptable alternative to biomedicine, particularly for Guatemalan patients who are frequently marginalized and lack consistent access to health care. Discussion: Results from this pilot study indicate promising potential for offering acupuncture care in an integrated, health care clinic, particularly for marginalized patients who lack consistent access to health care.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0140","authors":["Lisa J.

Acupuncture (AC) and electro‐acupuncture (EA) have been widely used to treat various diseases. AC and EA have demonstrated their ability to relieve symptoms and side effects related to cancer treatment. The review provides a brief overview of the historical lineage and basic principles of AC treatment, as well as a detailed exploration of the mechanisms and clinical applications of AC and EA to relieve cancer symptoms and treatment side effects. AC and EA can play a therapeutic role by regulating systems of nervous, endocrine, immune and so on. Clinical studies have demonstrated that AC and EA can effectively relieve pain, postoperative ileus, and other symptoms. The safety of AC and EA has been tested worldwide. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future research directions for AC and EA in the field of cancer treatment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/mog2.73","authors":["Xinggang Yang","Guangqi Li","Jiaqing Yang","Xuelei Ma"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-20T05:00:15Z","doi":"10.1002/mog2.73","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.62354/ijoa.v2i2.24","name":"Effect of Acupuncture Therapy with Tomato Combination on Hemiparesis in Upper Extremity Dextra or Sinistra After Stroke at Griya Acupuncture Indy","source":"crossref","abstract":"The number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is getting higher every year, one of which is stroke.

Acupuncture has been used to treat DED in Korean medicine. Particularly, intradermal acupuncture (IDA) is less painful and enables free movement after treatment. However, it can also provoke allergic reactions to metal. To overcome this, biodegradable microneedle acupuncture (BMA) has been developed. This study compared BMA with traditional IDA in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with DED. Methods: This study was designed as an investigator-initiated, assessor-blinded, single-center, parallel randomized controlled trial. Thirty patients with DED were enrolled and randomized to one of the treatments. One group was treated with BMA on the acupoints, including bilateral BL2, GB14, TE23, EX-HN5, and ST1. The other group was treated with traditional IDA at the same acupoints. Treatments were conducted 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The major endpoint was ocular surface disease index (OSDI). The minor endpoints were subjective symptoms visual analog scale (VAS), quality of life (QoL), and tear production measured by the Schirmer I test. Results: All enrolled participants successfully completed the trial, and all of their data was analyzed. Both treatments remarkably improved the OSDI score, VAS score, QoL score, and tear secretion after 4 weeks ( P < .05). Except for tear production in the left eye ( P < .05), there were no statistical differences between the 2 treatments on the final visit ( P > .05). No adverse events were observed. Conclusion: BMA and IDA had the same therapeutic effect for improving DED and both were safe. BMA can be used in patients with DED as an alternative to traditional IDA.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000036864","authors":["Ji-Hoon Song","Soo-Yeon Park"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-01-12T20:03:49Z","doi":"10.1097/md.0000000000036864","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2024.0054","name":"Chinese Pulse Diagnosis in the Evaluation of the Acutely Hospitalized Adult Patient","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2024.0054","authors":["Montiel T.

Although the auricular cartography was described somatotopically as an inverted fetus by Paul Nogier, MD, the underlying mechanism of auricular stimulation remains unclear. The aim of this research was to gain an understanding of the structural basis of auricular stimulation, as well as showing the distribution of the nerve fibers, and the blood and lymphatic vessels. Materials and Methods: The distribution of nerve fibers, and blood and lymphatic vessels was examined in whole-mount auricular skins of mice by combining the biomarkers protein gene product 9.5, cluster of differentiation 31, and lymphatic-vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor–1 following tissue-clearing treatment with multiple immunofluorescent staining. Results: The labeled nerve fibers, and the blood and lymphatic vessels were distributed extensively in the inner and outer parts of the auricular skin. Auricular nerves aligning with blood vessels ran from the basal region to the peripheral region and crossed over lymphatic vessels, thus forming the neural, vascular, and lymphatic networks. Conclusions: As these are important tissue components of auricular skin, this result implies that the auricular nerve fibers, and blood and lymphatic vessels may coordinate with each other to respond directly to auricular stimulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0077","authors":["Yuqing Wang","Yuxin Su","Jia Wang","Kaiwen Zhang","Wenjie Zhang","Jingjing Cui","Yihan Liu","Xiaoyu Wang","Wanzhu Bai"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-05T14:10:21Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0077","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_16","name":"Fire Needling","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_16","authors":["Defeng Wang","Shunchang Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_16","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.20944/preprints202402.0936.v1","name":"Architectural Acupuncture in the Urban Morphology Theories","source":"crossref","abstract":"The contribution aims to reconstruct the trajectory of urban morphology studies focused on the graphical understanding of the transformation phenomena within historical and contemporary fabrics. Highlighting some analogies with urban morphology studies present in the theories and design experiments of authors such as Aldo Rossi, Carlo Oswald W. Ungers, Hans Kollhoff, Saverio Muratori, Gianfranco Caniggia, and Giancarlo De Carlo. These studies mostly matured and de-veloped within a favorable cultural environment, which, albeit with due distinctions, saw them aligned on the same front in the practice of analogical procedures (Zambelli, 2021), expressing and anticipating in architectural facts the contemporary concept of urban acupuncture (M. Casagrande, 2010). An emerging notion used to designate the episodic and local character, with urban and ter-ritorial impact of new interventions that aim to oppose the contemporary practice of grand self-celebratory authorial interventions intentionally in dissonance with the context. These inter-ventions are promoted both by liberal and capitalist culture as well as by socialist-inspired culture (Sudjic, 2012). Lastly, it highlights the multiscale nature present in urban morphology studies as well as, at least in intentions, in urban acupuncture projects. Evident in the correlation between expression and content, form and emerging significance, wherein (Foucault, 1969) each change in form, to-gether with a change in scale, corresponds to a new morphological adaptation and consequently a redefinition of rules and 'urban grammar', usable in urban projects with territorial significance. Today, enriched by new digital monitoring tools that graphically render real-time socio-economic flows and dynamics, confirming those insights and syntheses that morphology and typology had suggested in forms that we could now define as acupuncture urban interventions.","url":"https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202402.0936.v1","authors":["Paolo Carlotti"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-20T07:07:28Z","doi":"10.20944/preprints202402.0936.v1","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.06.004","name":"World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) Clinical Practice Guidelines on Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Female Urinary Incontinence recommendation summaries","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.06.004","authors":["Shi-hao DU","Shuo DU","Sheng CHEN","Shan-ze WANG","Guan-qun WANG","Xiao-long XIE","Bi-hui PENG","Wei GUO","Ji-ping ZHAO","Chao YANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-06T02:58:25Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.06.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.36679/kedokteran.v9i2.60","name":"Differences between Acupuncture at Local Points and Balance Method Acupuncture on Musculoskeletal Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"Background: Acupuncture at Local Points (LA) was expected to overcome local pain by activating local analgesia and anti-inflammatory, improving microcirculation, and enhancing growth factors for tissue repair.

Electroacupuncture (EA) was first used in China and is a potential addition to existing pain-relief approaches. Globally and exponentially, the number of fundamental and clinical studies on EA has increased over the past decade. Most bibliometric studies in this area focus on acupuncture therapy. A prevalent quantitative and qualitative approach, bibliometric analysis scrutinizes published scholarly articles and can be used to assess advancements in specific research domains. Yet, to the best of the current authors' knowledge, no specific bibliometric analysis of EA as a pain therapy has yet been conducted. Methods: Article data were taken from the Scopus ® database with the key words electroacupuncture or electro-acupuncture or electric acupuncture and pain. The timeframe was set between 2013 and 2022 in all forms, regardless of language barriers, resulting in a total of 1592 documents. The results of the data search were then analyzed with bibliometrics and VOSviewer. Results: This study showed the rapid growth in the study of EA in the last decade. Additionally, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine is a major journal that frequently publishes articles on EA. Conclusions: Despite China's substantial publication output on EA, international collaboration is limited, particularly among nations other than the United States and China.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0083","authors":["Selfi Handayani Balgis","Nanang Wiyono"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-08-23T16:26:03Z","doi":"10.1089/acu.2023.0083","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09645284241277211","name":"Acupuncture treatment for post-stroke hemianopia: a case report","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284241277211","authors":["Xueqian Jia","Fu Xu","Erhui Yu","Yihui Liu","Rong Wang","Gongyue Zhou"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-09T07:07:15Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284241277211","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).19","name":"Research Progress of Acupuncture-assisted Treatment of Gastrointestinal Tumors","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).19","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-04-24T11:03:33Z","doi":"10.53469/jcmp.2024.06(04).19","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1001/jama.2024.23051","name":"Trial Supports Acupuncture for Chronic Sciatica Pain","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2024.23051","authors":["Samantha Anderer"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-11-15T16:31:19Z","doi":"10.1001/jama.2024.23051","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_20","name":"Summary and Combination","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_20","authors":["Weixiang Wang","Tianjun Wang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-22T10:02:59Z","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-59272-0_20","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.5505/anadolutd.2024.96268","name":"Case Report: Treatment of Scleroderma with TDAS (Tekçi Diagonal Acupuncture Systems) Acupuncture","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.5505/anadolutd.2024.96268","authors":["İlhan Günaydın","Birsen GÜNAYDIN","Şule Şahin Onat","M.Levent Tekci"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-04-14T12:04:26Z","doi":"10.5505/anadolutd.2024.96268","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09645284241248470","name":"A clinical audit in a UK-based acupuncture private practice: assessing patient demographics, outcomes and experience","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objectives: The aim of this clinical audit was to assess patient demographics, outcomes and experience with care in patients who received acupuncture in a private practice setting in the United Kingdom. Methods: Demographic and clinical data were extracted from patients’ records over a 7-year period. The Measure Yourself Medical Outcomes Profile (MYMOP) questionnaire and an adapted Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale were used routinely to monitor patient outcomes over an 18-month period. Finally, a retrospective questionnaire was used to assess patient beliefs regarding treatment effectiveness, adverse events and overall experience with care. Patients not providing consent or known to be deceased were excluded. Results: Data were collected for 306 patients presenting with 376 separate health complaints, 58% of which were musculoskeletal. Follow-up outcomes (MYMOP scores (n = 51) and PGIC scale responses (n = 50)) showed a clinically significant improvement compared to baseline for the majority of health complaints (93% of PGIC scores were ‘improved’ and 79% MYMOP demonstrated > 1 point change). Total mean MYMOP severity scores were reduced by almost 50% (p < 0.001) after 1–4 weeks, and this was sustained in the medium-to-long term. There was a strong negative correlation (r = −0.767, p < 0.001) between the MYMOP and PGIC scores. A total of 118 health complaints were reported by 85/255 patients who responded to a retrospective questionnaire. Over 84% of patients believed that the treatments they received were ‘effective’ at addressing their health complaints. Seven minor adverse events were reported and four patients experienced negative treatment outcomes. Conclusions: Although musculoskeletal conditions were the most common, this audit found that patients sought treatment for a wide range of predominantly chronic health complaints, for many of which there is a currently a lack of quality evidence to support the use of acupuncture. Overall, the small sample of patients who responded to outcome questionnaires reported clinically meaningful and sustained improvements.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284241248470","authors":["Nick Lowe","Natalia Permyakova","Rodney Dutton"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-05-04T00:23:18Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284241248470","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.denabs.2024.05.027","name":"Acupuncture for Acute Pain Management","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.denabs.2024.05.027","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-24T23:45:57Z","doi":"10.1016/j.denabs.2024.05.027","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09645284231218751","name":"Delayed recovery of sudden sensorineural hearing loss treated with magnetic acupuncture: a case report","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284231218751","authors":["Ha-Kyung Jea","Ye-Eun Min","Soyoung Park"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-04T22:40:10Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284231218751","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.56986/pim.2024.02.010","name":"Tendon Rupture by Acupuncture?

The purpose of this review was to visually map, compile, and summarize the existing literature to guide future research on acupuncture for HF. Methods: Acupuncture-related publications for HF were sourced from four databases: Cochrane Library, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. We used VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and Biblioshiny to create a map-based data network of all studies related to keywords, illustrating the interconnections among journals, sources, authors, and funders. We conducted a scoping review (ScR), adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) standards. We included articles exploring acupuncture intervention on HF, published from January 1, 1992, to July 15, 2024. Articles were declared eligible, reviewed critically, and synthesized narratively. Results: We have identified the most dynamically active institutions, authors, funders, and research outcomes. Eight articles were included in the synthesis of ScR. Research in this area is increasing sharply, with the maximum number of publications occurring during the interval between 2021 and 2023. The trend of research development in the field of acupuncture for HF appears to be growing with various variations of acupuncture modalities that can be opportunities for further research, especially regarding the effectiveness of each modality. Conclusion: The benefits and potential of acupuncture materials for HF promise an excellent opportunity to advance research and treatment development.

Methods: The study was a pilot randomized controlled trial with three arms: IA (acupuncture combined with yoga and naturopathy), sham acupuncture (sham acupuncture combined with yoga and naturopathy), and naturopathy/yoga alone. Sixty participants (20 in each group), of age 30–60 with borderline or stage I hypertension, received respective interventions for 10 days and were followed up for 1 month. BP measurements, depression, anxiety, and stress scores, as well as HRV parameters, were assessed at baseline, after the 10-day intervention, and at 1-month follow-up. Results: After 10 days, all groups exhibited a decrease in systolic and diastolic BP, though not statistically significant. However, after 1 month, there was a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic BP across all groups. Depression, anxiety, and stress scores showed nonsignificant reductions after the 10-day intervention, with mixed trends at follow-up. HRV analysis revealed significant increases in SDNN values across all groups and significant changes in LF/HF values. Discussion: In conclusion, the 10-day intervention led to slight, non-significant reductions in BP and improvements in depression, anxiety, and stress across all groups, but these effects were not sustained.

Methods: Thirty-four patients with a history of recent CABG were recruited between 2019 and 2020 for this clinical trial and randomly divided into two groups receiving acupuncture plus cardiac rehabilitation (group A) and cardiac rehabilitation alone (group B). In both groups, exercise-based rehabilitation exercise was performed. Group A additionally received acupuncture at PC6, PC4, HT7 and GB20 bilaterally. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate and Borg scale score were evaluated before, during and after the course of the treatment. Results: Heart rate was significantly lower in group A compared to group B after completion of the course of the treatment (P = 0.022). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in systolic or diastolic blood pressure or Borg scale scores (P > 0.05). Nevertheless, the Borg scale scores showed a significant decrease within each group over time (P < 0.001), reflecting an improvement in the patients’ ability to tolerate activity after cardiac rehabilitation with or without acupuncture. Conclusion: Acupuncture in combination with exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was more effective at decreasing heart rate than cardiac rehabilitation alone after CABG. Both approaches appeared to be similarly effective at improving exercise tolerance. In this study, the addition of acupuncture at the aforementioned traditional acupuncture point locations to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation did not affect blood pressure.

Despite undergoing multiple cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF), the patient faced challenges due to low ovarian reserve and poor egg quality, exacerbated by a history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, uterine fibroids, and the surgical removal of one ovary. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was employed, focusing on nourishing kidney and liver function, regulating Qi and blood circulation, and harmonizing the Chong and Ren vessels. The treatment included a combination of herbal prescriptions and acupuncture, aiming to improve overall reproductive health, egg quality, and endometrial receptivity. Over a three-month period, the patient experienced significant improvements in menstrual regularity, reduction of menopausal symptoms, and ultimately achieved a successful pregnancy. The case illustrates the potential efficacy of TCM in treating POF and enhancing fertility outcomes, highlighting the holistic approach of integrating Jing, Qi, and Shen for optimal therapeutic benefits.","url":"https://doi.org/10.23880/oajg-16000293","authors":["Qing Zhang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2025-07-24T08:23:57Z","doi":"10.23880/oajg-16000293","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.01.001","name":"Acupuncture for endometriosis-associated infertility: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.01.001","authors":["Chu-ting WU","Xiao-yan DONG","Xin-rong LI","Yang CAO","Cai-mei HUANG","Ming-yang LI","Jia-wei HU","Yuan GAO","Yu-ran LI","Huan-gan WU","Chun-yan ZHANG"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-07-01T20:16:13Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.01.001","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1177/09645284231210576","name":"Acupuncture for functional ankle instability: a case report","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284231210576","authors":["Zhibin Fu","Han Wang","Xin Guo","Yizhuan Huang"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-12-21T02:43:10Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284231210576","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.003","name":"Effects of acupuncture on iron metabolism in the hippocampus of the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury based on the imbalance of iron homeostasis","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.003","authors":["Hong-Juan WANG","Hong TANG","Shan-Shan JIANG","Zhan-Fu LI","Hao-mei TIAN","Chu-Tao CHEN"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-09-07T11:00:19Z","doi":"10.1016/j.wjam.2024.09.003","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.1089/acu.2023.0028","name":"The Effect of Ear Acupressure on Behavioral Problems in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial","source":"crossref","abstract":"Objective: Due to the limits on treatment for people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ear acupressure treatment has been considered.

The condition seems to have an autonomic basis, with vasomotor dysfunction causing dilatation of some blood vessels and constriction of others. No consistently effective treatments have been reported. Anticonvulsant, antidepressant, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, analgesic, nutritional, and topical approaches have been tried as were lidocaine infusions, nerve blocks, and thoracic and lumbar sympathectomies. Interosseous membrane stimulation appears to affect the local autonomic milieu in the extremity being treated. This approach was used on a patient with erythromelalgia. Case: A 36-year-old woman with erythromelalgia was treated with interosseous membrane stimulation. Eight treatments were given over a 1-year timeframe at 1–3-month intervals. Results: This patient repeatedly experienced much relief from her burning paresthesias, swelling, diaphoresis, and ruddy discoloration of her extremities for 6–8 hours following each treatment. The intensity of her discomfort subsided gradually over time. Conclusions: Interosseous membrane stimulation is a safe, simple, and effective treatment for erythromelalgia, which is notoriously refractory to treatment. This patient's response to treatment might have been a result of localized derangement of her autonomic nervous system. It is possible that manipulation of the autonomic milieu of an extremity is a significant factor in the mechanism of action of interosseous membrane stimulation.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acu.2023.0098","authors":["Michael Freedman","Benjamin Asa Freedman","Jon S.

The most widely available treatment options to assist patients in smoking cessation are limited by side effects and moderate efficacy at best. Acupuncture may be an effective option for smoking cessation. The goal of this study was to establish the need for and interest in acupuncture therapy to potentially assist with smoking cessation from a patient perspective. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey study among patients aged 18 years or older whose medical record reported current tobacco use with English as their preferred language. REDCap surveys were administered to patients during office visits and included questions regarding opinions and use of all treatments available for smoking cessation (including acupuncture) as well as perceived barriers to acupuncture treatment. Results: A total of 57 surveys were distributed, and 42 (74%) were completed. Most patients reported previous attempts at quitting (76%) and had tried a variety of treatments including nicotine replacement (45%), Chantix (varenicline; 23%), Wellbutrin (bupriopion; 19%), “cold turkey” (65%) and hypnosis (3%). No respondents reported having tried acupuncture for smoking cessation. Conclusion: When comparing treatment options, patients reported more interest in acupuncture than other treatment options with a statistically significant difference in the level of interest between acupuncture and bupropion. All barriers (cost, time and effectiveness) were equally rated on a Likert-type scale with a median of 50 on a 101-point scale.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09645284231206145","authors":["Kelsey M Sicker","Michelle Secic","Anna Graham","Stephen E Auciello"],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2023-11-01T08:44:12Z","doi":"10.1177/09645284231206145","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.3403/30425912","name":"Health informatics.

A 48-year-old patient taking anticoagulants developed posterior neck pain and progressive quadriplegia immediately after acupuncture. Upon arrival to the emergency room (ER), he complained of dyspnea, dysarthria, bradycardia, and hypothermia. Diffuse spinal EDH findings on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were confirmed, and posterior decompression was performed emergently. The patient is currently recovering. Since dyspnea, dysarthria, bradycardia, and hypothermia complained of by this patient are not common symptoms of spinal cord injury, emergency medicine doctors should be careful not to miss the spinal cord injury through detailed history-taking and additional neurologic exam.","url":"https://doi.org/10.22514/sv.2024.020","authors":[],"tags":[],"confidence":0.7,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2024-02-07T23:41:21Z","doi":"10.22514/sv.2024.020","addedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T06:35:24.050Z"},{"id":"doi:10.4324/9781003524625-23","name":"Acupuncture Theory and Acupuncture-Like Therapeutics in Physical Therapy","source":"crossref","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003524625-23","authors":["Patrick J.

Methods: This study included 54 stroke patients with depression and/or anxiety disorder. Patients were randomly assigned to the acupuncture treatment group (n = 27) or the control group (n = 27). A conventional rehabilitation program was applied to all patients and acupuncture was performed twice a week for 4 weeks. Patients were evaluated blindly by a psychiatrist at baseline (week 0), week 4 and week 8, using the Hamilton depression rating scale (HAM-D) and Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAM-A), and drug doses were adjusted when necessary. The HAM-D and HAM-A scores at week 4 were pre-specified as the two primary outcome measures. Results: Within each group, there was a significant decrease in the mean scores of HAM-D and HAM-A at weeks 4 and 8. No between-group differences in HAM-A or HAM-D scores were seen at 4 weeks but there was a significant decrease in HAM-D scores in favor of the acupuncture group at week 8 (p < 0.025). At week 4, the number of cases whose selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) dose was increased was found to be significantly higher in the control group. Conclusion: While the study was negative with respect to its primary outcomes, the findings with respect to certain secondary outcomes suggests further research is warranted to determine if acupuncture treatment is an effective/safe treatment to alleviate post-stroke depression/anxiety.

artery disease. In coronary heart disease (CHD), an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production generates endothelial cell and smooth muscle functional disorders, leading to a disequilibrium between the antioxidant capacity and prooxidants. ROS also leads to inflammatory signal activation and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, which can promote and increase the occurrence and development of CHD. There are several kinds of antioxidative and small molecular systems of antioxidants, such asβ-carotene, ascorbic acid,α-tocopherol, and reduced glutathione (GSH). Studies have shown that antioxidant treatment was effective and decreased the risk of CHD, but the effect of the treatment varies greatly. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been utilized for thousands of years in China and is becoming increasingly popular all over the world, especially for the treatments of cardiovascular diseases. This review will concentrate on the evidence of the action mechanism of TCM in preventing CHD by modulating oxidative stress-related signaling pathways.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/3231424","authors":["Xinyu Yang","Tianmai He","Songjie Han","Xiaoyu Zhang","Yang Sun","Yanwei Xing","Hongcai Shang"],"tags":["Oxidative stress","Reactive oxygen species","Antioxidant","Ascorbic acid","Coronary artery disease"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-02-24","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/3231424","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2071798131","name":"Drug Design for Neuropathic Pain Regulation from Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"FAAH-like anandamide transporter (FLAT) regulates anandamide transport for hydrolysis and may be an attractive drug target for pain regulation.

Consensus from multiple linear regression (MLR; R(2) = 08973) and support vector machine (SVM; R(2) = 0.7988) showed similar bioactivities for Guineensine and the FAAH-1 inhibitor (9Z)-1-(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)octadec-9-en-1-one.

Previously reported high performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) methods for the detection of quercetin and curcuminoids have several disadvantages, including unsatisfactory separation times and lack of validation according the standard guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. METHODS: A rapid, specific, reversed phase, HPLC-UV method with an isocratic elution of acetonitrile and 2% v/v acetic acid (40% : 60% v/v) (pH 2.6) at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/minutes, a column temperature of 35°C, and ultraviolet (UV) detection at 370 nm was developed. The method was validated and applied to the quantification of different types of market available Chinese medicine extracts, pills and tablets. RESULTS: The method allowed simultaneous determination of quercetin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin in the concentration ranges of 0.00488 ─ 200 μg/mL, 0.625 ─ 320 μg/mL, 0.07813 ─ 320 μg/mL and 0.03906 ─ 320 μg/mL, respectively. The limits of detection and quantification, respectively, were 0.00488 and 0.03906 μg/mL for quercetin, 0.62500 and 2.50000 μg/mL for bisdemethoxycurcumin, 0.07813 and 0.31250 μg/mL for demethoxycurcumin, and 0.03906 and 0.07813 μg/mL for curcumin. The percent relative intra day standard deviation (% RSD) values were 0.432 ─ 0.806 μg/mL, 0.576 ─ 0.723 μg/mL, 0.635 ─ 0.752 μg/mL and 0.655 ─ 0.732 μg/mL for quercetin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin, respectively, and those for intra day precision were 0.323 ─ 0.968 μg/mL, 0.805 ─ 0.854 μg/mL, 0.078 ─ 0.844 μg/mL and 0.275 ─ 0.829 μg/mL, respectively.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has the distinct advantage of multifaceted and multilevel therapeutic attributes that show efficacy in improving clinical symptoms, reducing proteinuria, protecting renal function, and slowing DKD progression. Over recent decades, extensive research has explored the mechanisms of TCM for preventing and managing DKD, with substantial studies that endorse the therapeutic benefits of TCM compounds and single agents in the medical intervention of DKD. OBJECTIVE: This review lays the foundation for future evidence-based research efforts and provide a reference point for DKD investigation. METHODS: The relevant literature published in Chinese and English up to 30 June 2023, was sourced from PubMed, Cochrane Library, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP), Wanfang Data, CNKI, and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM). The process involved examining and summarizing research on TCM laboratory tests and clinical randomized controlled trials for DKD treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The TCM intervention has shown the potential to inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines and various growth factors, lower blood glucose levels, and significantly affect insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and improved renal function. Furthermore, the efficacy of TCM can be optimized by tailoring personalized treatment regimens based on the unique profiles of individual patients.

TCM compounds, shanciol B, shanciol A, castilliferol, and aurantiamide acetate, contoured to the quantitative structure-activity relationship pharmacophore and exhibited high docking scores and binding stability with m-PGES-1. Bioactivity models multiple linear regression (MLR) and support vector machine also supported activity predictions for the candidate compounds. Our results indicate that the investigated TCM compounds could be of use for development into mPGES-1 inhibitors.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-0285.2011.01202.x","authors":["Kuan‐Chung Chen","Mao‐Feng Sun","Shun‐Chieh Yang","Su‐Sen Chang","Hsin‐Yi Chen","Fuu‐Jen Tsai","Calvin Yu‐Chian Chen"],"tags":["Inflammation","Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine","Computational biology","Pharmacology"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2011-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-0285.2011.01202.x","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2335277040","name":"Application of Plant Metabonomics in Quality Assessment for Large-Scale Production of Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"The curative effects of traditional Chinese medicines are principally based on the synergic effect of their multi-targeting, multi-ingredient preparations, in contrast to modern pharmacology and drug development that often focus on a single chemical entity.

Its dried leaves and roots (called Isatidis Folium and Isatidis Radix, respectively) are broadly used in traditional Chinese medicine for curing diseases caused by bacteria and viruses such as influenza and viral pneumonia. Various classes of compounds isolated from this species have been identified as effective ingredients. Previous studies based on transcriptomes revealed only a few candidate genes for the biosynthesis of these active compounds in this medicinal plant. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of I. indigotica with a total size of 293.88 Mb and scaffold N50 = 36.16 Mb using single-molecule real-time long reads and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture techniques. We annotated 30,323 high-confidence protein-coding genes. Based on homolog searching and functional annotations, we identified many candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis of main active components such as indoles, terpenoids, and phenylpropanoids. In addition, we found that some key enzyme-coding gene families related to the biosynthesis of these components were expanded due to tandem duplications, which likely drove the production of these major active compounds and explained why I. indigotica has excellent antibacterial and antiviral activities. Our results highlighted the importance of genome sequencing in identifying candidate genes for metabolite synthesis in medicinal plants.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-0240-5","authors":["Minghui Kang","Haolin Wu","Qiao Yang","Li Huang","Quanjun Hu","Tao Ma","Zaiyun Li","Jianquan Liu"],"tags":["Biology","Gene","Genome","Sequence assembly","Medicinal plants"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2020-02-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-0240-5","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2902029511","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine Gegen Qinlian decoction ameliorates irinotecan chemotherapy-induced gut toxicity in mice","source":"openalex","abstract":"Background Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQT), is a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula chronicled in Shang Han Lun , and is widely used to treat diarrhea and inflammation symptoms in various gastrointestinal disorders. Although it has been found to inhibit delayed-onset mice diarrhea resulted from irinotecan (CPT-11) administration in preliminary experiments, the underlying mechanisms and chemical components remain elusive. Methods The effective fraction of GQT by macroporous resin elution was obtained and screened using a diarrhea mouse model induced by CPT-11 and quantified by UPLC analysis. The protective effect of GQT extract towards alleviating diarrhea in mice following CPT-11 administration was further investigated. The levels of inflammatory cytokines and intestinal tight junction related proteins in colonic tissues were determined. The inhibitory effect of GQT extract against hCE2 was evaluated by a fluorescence-based method. Lastly, the synergistic effect of GQT extract combined with CPT-11 against tumor growth in a colorectal tumor mouse model, induced by HT-29 colon cancer cells xenograft subcutaneously, was investigated. Results The obtained GQT extract, which profoundly ameliorated the gut toxicity induced by CPT-11, contained puerarin, liquiritin, berberine, and baicalin of 27.2 mg/g, 4.6 mg/g, 491.4 mg/g, and 304.2 mg/g, respectively. After 5 days of administration of GQT extract to mice with diarrhea induced by CPT-11, aberrantly elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, COX-2, ICAM-1, and TNF-α, were significantly decreased. Meanwhile, GQT extract also exhibited a remarkable anti-oxidative stress effect, involving activating the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway, and up-regulating the intestinal barrier function by enhancing the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1, HO-1, and occludin. Additionally, a potent inhibitory effect of GQT extract against hCE2 was observedin vitro, with its IC 50 value of 0.187 mg/ml, suggesting alleviating activity on hCE2-mediated severe diarrhea in patients suffered from CPT-11. Moreover, GQT extract was shown to improve inhibition of the colonic tumor growth synergistically with CPT-11. Conclusion The present study indicates that GQT extract can ameliorate CPT-11 induced gut toxicity in mice and improve CPT-11 efficacy in colorectal cancer treatment.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2018.11.095","authors":["Yihan Wu","Di Wang","Xiaoqin Yang","Chaomei Fu","Liang Zou","Jinming Zhang"],"tags":["Decoction","Irinotecan","Loperamide","Pharmacology","Diarrhea"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-11-28","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2018.11.095","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W3134270545","name":"Application of immune checkpoint targets in the anti-tumor novel drugs and traditional Chinese medicine development","source":"openalex","abstract":"Immune checkpoints are the crucial regulators of immune system and play essential roles in maintaining self-tolerance, preventing autoimmune responses, and minimizing tissue damage by regulating the duration and intensity of the immune response. Furthermore, immune checkpoints are usually overexpressed in cancer cells or noninvasive cells in tumor tissues and are capable of suppressing the antitumor response. Based on substantial physiological analyses as well as preclinical and clinical studies, checkpoint molecules have been evaluated as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of multiple types of cancers. In the last few years, extensive evidence has supported the immunoregulatory effects of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). The main advantage of TCMs and natural medicine is that they usually contain multiple active components, which can act on multiple targets at the same time, resulting in additive or synergistic effects. The strong immune regulation function of traditional Chinese medicine on immune checkpoints has also been of great interest. For example, Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharides can induce anti-PD-1 antibody responses in animals, and these antibodies can overcome the exhaustion of immune cells under tumor immune evasion. Furthermore, many other TCM molecules could also be novel and effective drug candidates for the treatment of cancers. Therefore, it is essential to assess the application of immune checkpoints in the development of new drugs and TCMs. In this review, we focus on research progress in the field of immune checkpoints based on three topics: (1) immune checkpoint targets and pathways, (2) development of novel immune checkpoint-based drugs, and (3) application of immune checkpoints in the development of TCMs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2021.03.004","authors":["Yuli Wang","Xingyan Zhang","Yuyan Wang","Wenjing Zhao","Huling Li","Lixing Zhang","Xinping Li","Tiejun Zhang","Hongbing Zhang","He Huang","Changxiao Liu"],"tags":["Immune system","Immune checkpoint","Traditional Chinese medicine","Drug development","Cancer"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-03-09","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2021.03.004","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2091306452","name":"Ligustri Lucidi Fructusas a traditional Chinese medicine: a review of its phytochemistry and pharmacology","source":"openalex","abstract":"Ligustri lucidi fructus (LLF) is the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum Ait.

In China stroke is the second most common cause of death. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has for many centuries been used, and it is still widely used today in countries of south and east Asia for the treatment of people with stroke. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate whether complex Traditional Chinese Medicine (cTCM) improves poststroke motor recovery. In particular, we defined cTCM as intervention that included at least acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. METHODS: An extensive search including PubMed, EMBASE, CBM, and the Cochrane Library was performed up to December 2007. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) about cTCM for motor dysfunction of poststroke were searched irrespective of any language. The quality of each trial was assessed according to the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook 4.2.6. RESULTS: After selection of 11 234 articles, 34 RCTs and quasi-RCTs were included. All these trials were conducted in China and published on Chinese journals. All trials but one reported results in favor of cTCM treatments suggesting a strong publication bias. Because of the significant clinical and methodological heterogeneity, no meta-analysis was performed and thus no cumulative result was obtained pooling data of RCTs. CONCLUSIONS: What appears from this systematic review is that scant data are available to evaluate efficacy of cTCM for poststroke motor dysfunction. Most of the primary studies available for this review were inadequately designed trials characterized by unknown dropout rates and definitional vagueness in outcomes measures. None of the studies approached important end points like death, survival times, rate of dependency, reduction in length of stay in hospital, etc. The key to lead to evidence-based practices is establishing a consensus on standardized relevant outcome measures and then designing and conducting appropriate RCTs that adopt those standards.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1161/strokeaha.109.555227","authors":["Zhang Junhua","Francesca Menniti‐Ippolito","Gao Xiumei","Fabio Firenzuoli","Zhang Boli","Marco Massari","Shang Hong-cai","Huang Yuhong","Rita Maria Ferrelli","Limin Hu","Alice Josephine Fauci","Ranieri Guerra","Roberto Raschetti"],"tags":["Medicine","Stroke (engine)","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Traditional Chinese medicine","Physical therapy"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-06-26","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1161/strokeaha.109.555227","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2029548715","name":"Developing a QSAR model for hepatotoxicity screening of the active compounds in traditional Chinese medicines","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2015.01.020","authors":["Shan-Han Huang","Chun-Wei Tung","Ferenc Fülöp","Jih‐Heng Li"],"tags":["Quantitative structure–activity relationship","Traditional Chinese medicine","Drug","Medicine","Traditional medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-02-04","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2015.01.020","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W3093963750","name":"Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Management of Viral Pneumonia","source":"openalex","abstract":"Viral pneumonia is one kind of acute respiratory tract infection caused by the virus.

In this study, we would like to detect the potential candidates which inhibit IL6R against RA from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). We use TCM compounds from the TCM Database@Taiwan for virtually screening the potential IL6R inhibitors. The TCM candidate compound, calycosin, has potent binding affinity with IL6R protein. The molecular dynamics simulation was employed to validate the stability of interaction in the protein complex with calycosin. The analysis indicates that protein complex with calycosin is more stable. In addition, calycosin is known to be one of the components of Angelica sinensis, which has been indicated to have an important role in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, calycosin is a potential candidate as lead compounds for further study in drug development process with IL6R protein against rheumatoid arthritis.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/528018","authors":["Wen‐Yuan Lee","Hsin‐Yi Chen","Kuan‐Chung Chen","Calvin Yu‐Chian Chen"],"tags":["Calycosin","Rheumatoid arthritis","Medicine","Traditional Chinese medicine","Arthritis"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2014-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/528018","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2970284930","name":"Interactions between clopidogrel and traditional Chinese medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11239-019-01945-3","authors":["Yunzhen Hu","Jing Wang"],"tags":["Clopidogrel","Medicine","Pharmacology","Ginkgo biloba","Adverse effect"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2019-08-30","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11239-019-01945-3","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W3047276716","name":"Traditional Chinese medicine for anti-Alzheimer’s disease: berberine and evodiamine from Evodia rutaecarpa","source":"openalex","abstract":"Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common diseases in elderly people with a high incidence of dementia at approximately 60–80%.

METHODS: Patients with normal values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as a diagnostic marker for ruling out pre-existing liver disease were enrolled in a prospective study of a safety program carried out at the First German Hospital of TCM from 1994 to 2015. All patients received herbal products, and their ALT values were reassessed 1-3 d prior to discharge. To verify or exclude causality for suspected TCM herbs, the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) was used. RESULTS: This report presents for the first time liver injury data derived from a prospective, hospital-based and large-scale study of 21470 patients who had no liver disease prior to treatment with herbal TCM. Among these, ALT ranged from 1 × to < 5 × upper limit normal (ULN) in 844 patients (3.93%) and suggested mild or moderate liver adaptive abnormalities. However, 26 patients (0.12%) experienced higher ALT values of ≥ 5 × ULN (300.0 ± 172.9 U/L, mean ± SD). Causality for TCM herbs was RUCAM-based probable in 8/26 patients, possible in 16/26, and excluded in 2/26 cases.

We searched seven electronic databases (BVS, PUBMED, EMBASE, PEDro, ScienceDirect, Web of Sciences, and PschyInfo) from inception to November 2019 and included systematic reviews only. Systematic reviews were analyzed based on AMSTAR 2. We used Tableau to graphically display quality assessment, the number of reviews, outcomes, and effects. Results: The map is based on 116 systematic reviews and 44 meta-analyses. Most of the reviews were published in the last 5 years. The most researched interventions were Tai Chi and Qi Gong. The reviews presented the following quality assessment: 80 high, 43 moderate, 23 low, and 14 critically low. Every 680 distinct outcome effect was classified: 421 as potential positive; 237 as positive; 21 as inconclusive/mixed; one potential negative and none no effect. Positive effects were related to chronic diseases; mental indicators and disorders; vitality, well-being, and quality of life. Potential positive effects were related to balance, mobility, Parkinson's disease, hypertension, joint pain, cognitive performance, and sleep quality. Inconclusive/mixed-effects justify further research, especially in the following areas: Acupressure as Shiatsu and Tuiná for nausea and vomiting; Tai Chi and Qi Gong for acute diseases, prevention of stroke, stroke risk factors, and schizophrenia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four of the most commonly used herbal components of Kampo medicine in the treatment of stone disease are described according to their in vitro and in vivo effects. We also reviewed the role of Acupuncture in urologic clinical setting as well as its proposed mechanisms of action and results. Medline database was assessed using isolated and conjugated key words (Chinese Medicine, Kampo, Chinese Herbal, Calculi, Stone Disease, Kidney, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine). Articles were reviewed and summarized. RESULTS: Herbal medicine has been proven to be free from side-effects and therefore suitable for long term use therapy. Its antilithic beneficial effects include increased urinary volume, increased magnesium excretion (Takusya), inhibitory activity on calcium oxalate aggregation (Takusya, Wulingsan and Desmodyum styracyfolium), inhibition of calcium oxalate nucleation and hydroxyapatite internalization (Wulingsan). In contrast, acupuncture, has shown to be effective as a pre-treatment anxiolytic and analgesic during colic pain and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment, reducing the need for complementary sedative drugs. CONCLUSION: Chinese traditional medicine is promising as regards its role in stone prevention. An effort must be made in order to standardize study protocols to better assess acupuncture results since each procedure differs in regards to selected acupoints, electrostimulation technique and adjunct anesthetics. Similarly, standardization of Kampo formulations and acceptable clinical endpoints (imaging vs. symptomatic events) is needed.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1590/s1677-55382009000400002","authors":["Ricardo Miyaoka","Manoj Monga"],"tags":["Medicine","Kampo","Acupuncture","Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2009-08-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1590/s1677-55382009000400002","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W1978065825","name":"Network pharmacology: A new approach to unveiling Traditional Chinese Medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1875-5364(15)60001-2","authors":["Jinhui Wu","Chunfu Wu"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine","Traditional medicine","Medicine","Pharmacology","Alternative medicine"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2015-01-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s1875-5364(15)60001-2","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W3148347771","name":"Colorectal Cancer, Gut Microbiota and Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Systematic Review","source":"openalex","abstract":"Based on the study and research on the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, the types and functions of gut microbiota, and its role in guiding and regulating the occurrence and development of diseases, we have explored the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of colorectal cancer by regulating the gut microbiota.

AIM: To evaluate the agreement on diagnoses and prescription of irritable bowel syndrome among Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. METHODS: Consecutive irritable bowel syndrome patients were interviewed independently by four Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. The study was divided into three phases: (i) blinded individual assessment, (ii) discussion to achieve consensus on diagnosis and treatment, (iii) individual assessment based on consensual diagnostic criteria. Patients with other causes of diarrhoea were recruited as controls in phase (iii). Percentage agreement and kappa-value in diagnosis, treatment principle and regime were determined. RESULTS: Thirty-nine irritable bowel syndrome patients were assessed in phase (i) whereas 65 irritable bowel syndrome patients and 17 non-irritable bowel syndrome controls were studied in phase (iii). The mean agreement rates in diagnosis, treatment principle and regimen were: 57, 58 and 52% for phase (i) and 80, 81 and 80% for phase (iii) (P = 0.002). Accordingly, there was significant improvement in the mean kappa-values in diagnosis (0.11-0.34, P = 0.015) and treatment principle (0.16-0.37, P = 0.002) but not in treatment regime.

Concordant diagnosis can be reached by mutual understanding and converging opinion among Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2036.2004.02242.x","authors":["Joseph J.�Y.

Furthermore we summarize the effects and mechanism of TCM on regulating TIM via enhancing antitumor immune responses (e.g., regulating the expression of MHC molecules and Fas/FasL, attenuating cancerigenic ability of cancer stem cells) and remolding immunosuppressive cells (e.g., reversing immune phenotypes of T lymphocytes and tumor associated macrophages, promoting dendritic cells mature, restraining myeloid derived suppressor cells function, and regulating Th1/Th2 factors).

In this study, the ATDS is developed to extract a variety of tongue features and provide practitioners with objective information to assist diagnoses. To evaluate the ATDS clinical stability, 2 sets of tongue images taken 1 hour apart from 20 patients with possible variations in lighting and extruding tongue, are employed to investigate intra-agreement of the ATDS, intra-agreement of the TCM doctors, and the inter-agreement between the ATDS and TCM doctors. The ATDS is shown to be more consistent with significantly higher intra-agreement than the TCM doctors (kappa value: 0.93 ± 0.06 versus 0.64 ± 0.13) with P < 0.001 (Student's t-test). Inter-agreements between the ATDS and TCM doctors, as well as among the TCM doctors are both moderate.

Here, an integrated systems pharmacology approach is presented for illustrating the molecular correlations between CVDs and GIDs. Firstly, we identified pairs of genes that are associated with CVDs and GIDs and found that these genes are functionally related. Then, the association between 115 heart meridian (HM) herbs and 163 stomach meridian (SM) herbs and their combination application in Chinese patent medicine was investigated, implying that both CVDs and GIDs can be treated by the same strategy. Exemplified by a classical formula Sanhe Decoration (SHD) treating chronic gastritis, we applied systems-based analysis to introduce a drug-target-pathway-organ network that clarifies mechanisms of different diseases being treated by the same strategy. The results indicate that SHD regulated several pathological processes involved in both CVDs and GIDs. We experimentally confirmed the predictions implied by the effect of SHD for myocardial ischemia. The systems pharmacology suggests a novel integrated strategy for rational drug development for complex associated diseases.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32400","authors":["Wenjuan Zhang","Tao Qin","Zihu Guo","Yingxue Fu","Xuetong Chen","Piar Ali Shar","Mohamed Shahen","Jinglin Zhu","Jun Xue","Yaofei Bai","Ziyin Wu","Zhenzhong Wang","Wei Xiao","Yonghua Wang"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine","Medicine","Systems pharmacology","Drug","Bioinformatics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2016-09-06","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32400","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.441Z"},{"id":"oa:W2147550119","name":"Interaction of a traditional Chinese Medicine (PHY906) and CPT-11 on the inflammatory process in the tumor microenvironment","source":"openalex","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years to treat or prevent diseases, including cancer. Good manufacturing practices (GMP) and sophisticated product analysis (PhytomicsQC) to ensure consistency are now available allowing the assessment of its utility. Polychemical Medicines, like TCM, include chemicals with distinct tissue-dependent pharmacodynamic properties that result in tissue-specific bioactivity. Determining the mode of action of these mixtures was previously unsatisfactory; however, information rich RNA microarray technologies now allow for thorough mechanistic studies of the effects complex mixtures. PHY906 is a long used four herb TCM formula employed as an adjuvant to relieve the side effects associated with chemotherapy. Animal studies documented a decrease in global toxicity and an increase in therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapy when combined with PHY906. METHODS: Using a systems biology approach, we studied tumor tissue to identify reasons for the enhancement of the antitumor effect of CPT-11 (CPT-11) by PHY906 in a well-characterized pre-clinical model; the administration of PHY906 and CPT-11 to female BDF-1 mice bearing subcutaneous Colon 38 tumors. RESULTS: We observed that 1) individually PHY906 and CPT-11 induce distinct alterations in tumor, liver and spleen; 2) PHY906 alone predominantly induces repression of transcription and immune-suppression in tumors; 3) these effects are reverted in the presence of CPT-11, with prevalent induction of pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory pathways that may favor tumor rejection. CONCLUSIONS: PHY906 together with CPT-11 triggers unique changes not activated by each one alone suggesting that the combination creates a unique tissue-specific response.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/1755-8794-4-38","authors":["Ena Wang","Scott Bussom","Jinguo Chen","Courtney Quinn","Davide Bedognetti","Wing Lam","Fulan Guan","Zaoli Jiang","Y.

Its rhizomes, which possess versatile bioactivities, are commonly used to treat oliguria, edema, gonorrhea with turbid urine, leukorrhea, diarrhea and dizziness. Approximately 120 compounds have been isolated from A. orientale. Terpenoids have been identified as A. orientale's characteristic constituents, which include protostane triterpenoids and guaiane sesquiterpenoids. The traditional medical uses of A. orientale in TCM have been evaluated in modern pharmacological studies, which have shown that A. orientale and its active constituents exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, such as diuretic, anti-urolithiatic, antinephritic, anti-atherosclerotic, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective activities.

The formulations are based on combinations of typically 5-10 plants, which are usually boiled and administered as a decoction or tea. There are few clinical trials performed so the clinical evidence is sparse. One fundamental of traditional medicine is to prevent disease. RA is an autoimmune, inflammatory and chronic disease that primarily affects the joints of 0.5%-1% of the population. In two out of three of the cases, the patients are characterised by the presence of autoantibodies such as the rheumatoid factor and the more disease-specific autoantibody against citrullinated proteins, so-called 'ACPA' (anticitrullinated protein/peptide antibodies). ACPA positivity is also strongly associated with specific variations in the HLA-DRB1 gene, the shared epitope alleles. Together with smoking, these factors account for the major risks of developing RA. In this review, we will summarise the background using certain plant-based formulations based on Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment and prevention of RA and the strategy we have taken to explore the mechanisms of action. We also summarise the major pathophysiological pathways related to RA and how these could be analysed. Finally, we summarise our ideas on how a clinical trial using Chinese herbal medicine to prevent RA could be conducted.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/joim.13537","authors":["Per‐Johan Jakobsson","Luke P.

In TCM theory, pathogenesis is a complex system composed of a group of interrelated factors, which is highly consistent with the character of systems science (SS). In this paper, we introduce a heuristic definition called pathogenesis network (PN) to represent pathogenesis in the form of the directed graph. Accordingly, a computational method of pathogenesis diagnosis, called network differentiation (ND), is proposed by integrating the holism principle in SS. ND consists of three stages. The first stage is to generate all possible diagnoses by Cartesian Product operated on specified prior knowledge corresponding to the input symptoms. The second stage is to screen the validated diagnoses by holism principle. The third stage is to pick out the clinical diagnosis by physician-computer interaction. Some theorems are stated and proved for the further optimization of ND in this paper. We conducted simulation experiments on 100 clinical cases. The experimental results show that our proposed method has an excellent capability to fit the holistic thinking in the process of physician inference.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.artmed.2021.102134","authors":["Qiang Xu","Qiang Guo","Chunxia Wang","Song Zhang","Chuanbiao Wen","Tao Sun","Wei Peng","Jun Chen","Weihong Li"],"tags":["Holism","Medical diagnosis","Computer science","Pathogenesis","Artificial intelligence"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-07-03","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.artmed.2021.102134","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z"},{"id":"oa:W2102432555","name":"Herbogenomics: From Traditional Chinese Medicine to Novel Therapeutics","source":"openalex","abstract":"Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of development and application and has demonstrated on evidence basis its efficacy in the treatment of many diseases affecting multiple organ systems. In particular, TCM is effective in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and metabolic syndromes. However, the value of TCM has not been fully recognized worldwide due to the lack of definitive information of active ingredients in almost any TCM preparation. Novel functional genomics and proteomics approaches provide alternate perspectives on the mechanism of action of TCM. The target molecules on which TCM either activates or inactivates can be identified by functional genomics and proteomics, thus the affected critical signaling pathway cascades leading to effective recovery of chronic diseases can be studied. Several TCM preparations have been available for the treatment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, even advanced liver cirrhosis that has been shown to be irreversible and has no US-FDA approved therapy. In the TCM-treated livers with fibrosis and cirrhosis, some critical molecules that are significantly involved in the recovery can be identified through functional genomics and proteomics studies. These molecules become novel targets for drug discovery and development and candidates for the development of gene therapy. Gene therapy developed based on this strategy for the treatment of advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in animal models has obtained promising results. This process thus establishes a herbogenomics approach to understand mechanisms of action of TCM and to identify effective molecular targets for the discovery and development of novel therapeutics.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3181/0802-mr-47","authors":["Yin Kang"],"tags":["Traditional Chinese medicine","Medicine","Proteomics","Cirrhosis","Drug development"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-06-05","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3181/0802-mr-47","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z"},{"id":"oa:W2089495735","name":"Pharmacokinetic and Absolute Bioavailability Study of Total Panax Notoginsenoside, a Typical Multiple Constituent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Rats","source":"openalex","abstract":"LC/ESI/MS method was employed for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of total panax notoginsenoside (TPNS) in rats.

METHOD: Ten (10) realistic tongue slides and a set of questionnaires were used to examine the agreement levels among 30 TCM practitioners in two data collection sessions. Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics, predominantly percentage frequency agreement with the agreement level of > or =80% set as the criterion for an acceptable level of reliability. RESULTS: Overall, both inter- and intrapractitioner agreement levels were low. Only on 19 occasions (17.3%) in session 1 and 21 occasions (19.1%) in session 2 were interpractitioner (between a practitioner) agreement levels of > or =80% achieved. Moreover, virtually all (15 occasions in session 1 and 14 occasions in session 2) of these questions involved simple dichotomous response choices, and the practitioners achieved levels of > or =80% reliability in only 5% of occasions where more complex response choices were offered. In terms of intrapractitioner (within a practitioner) agreement, the highest agreement level was achieved for the dichotomous response choice questions on presence of coat and presence of crack, with the 29 and 20 practitioners achieving > or =80% intrapractitioner agreement, respectively. Only 2 subjects achieved higher than 80% intrapractitioner agreement level for all tongue slides on all questions, with the highest intrapractitioner agreement level being 88% followed by 82%. The findings showed that the TCM tongue inspection for specific characteristics examined was not a reliable diagnostic method, at least for the group of TCM practitioners involved in this study. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that a major contribution to the low levels of inter- and intrapractitioner agreements stems from inadequate operational definitions of both the tongue characteristics studied and of the inspection regions of the tongue.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acm.2007.0079","authors":["Minah Kim","Deirdre Cobbin","Chris Zaslawski"],"tags":["Tongue","Medicine","Reliability (semiconductor)","Session (web analytics)","Descriptive statistics"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2008-06-01","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1089/acm.2007.0079","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z"},{"id":"oa:W2896317910","name":"End-to-End syndrome differentiation of Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine","source":"openalex","abstract":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2018.10.011","authors":["Qinan Hu","Tong Yu","Jinghua Li","Qi Yu","Ling Zhu","Yueguo Gu"],"tags":["Yin and yang","Traditional Chinese medicine","Yin deficiency","Medicine","Pathological"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2018-10-16","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2018.10.011","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z"},{"id":"oa:W4388701641","name":"Harnessing the power of traditional Chinese medicine monomers and compound prescriptions to boost cancer immunotherapy","source":"openalex","abstract":"At present, cancer is the largest culprit that endangers human health.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the comprehensive therapy based on the three common TCM patterns in stable COPD patients. METHODS: A four-center, open-label randomized controlled method was conducted. A total of 352 patients were divided into the trial group (n = 176, treated with conventional Western medicine and Bu-Fei Jian-Pi granules, Bu-Fei Yi-Shen granules, and Yi-Qi Zi-Shen granules based on the TCM patterns respectively) and the control group (n = 176, treated with conventional Western medicine). The frequency and duration of acute exacerbation, lung function, clinical symptoms, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), dyspnea scale and quality of life were observed during a 6-month treatment period and at a further 12-month follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 306 patients completed the study fully. The full analysis set (FAS) population was 350 and the per-protocol analysis set (PPS) population was 306. After the 6-month treatment and 12-month follow-up, there were significant differences between the trial and control group in the following: frequency of acute exacerbation (FAS: P = 0.000; PPS: P = 0.000); duration of acute exacerbation (FAS: P = 0.000; PPS: P = 0.001); FEV1 (FAS: P = 0.007; PPS: P = 0.008); symptoms (FAS: P = 0.001; PPS: P = 0.001); 6MWD (FAS: P = 0.045; PPS: P = 0.042); dyspnea scale (FAS: P = 0.002; PPS: P = 0.004); and physical domain (FAS: P = 0.000; PPS: P = 0.000), psychological domain (FAS: P = 0.008; PPS: P = 0.011), social domain (FAS: P = 0.001; PPS: P = 0.000) and environment domain (FAS: P = 0.015; PPS: P = 0.009) of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire.

Asthma is also associated with a high prevalence of anxiety, particularly in adolescents. There is no effective treatment for food allergy. Food allergy is often associated with severe and recalcitrant eczema. Novel approaches for treatment of asthma and food allergy and comorbid conditions are urgently needed. Traditional Chinese medicine, used in Asia for centuries, is beginning to play a role in Western healthcare. There is increasing scientific evidence supporting the use of traditional Chinese medicine for asthma treatment. Since 2005, several controlled clinical studies of \"antiasthma\" herbal remedies have been published. Among the herbal medicines, antiasthma herbal medicine intervention is the only antiasthma traditional Chinese medicine product that is a Food and Drug Administration investigational new drug that has entered clinical trials in the United States. Research into the effects and mechanisms of action of antiasthma herbal medicine intervention in animal models is actively being pursued. Research on traditional Chinese medicine herbal medicines for treating food allergy is rare.

In addition to respiratory symptoms, some COVID‑19 patients also show various gastrointestinal symptoms and even consider gastrointestinal symptoms to be the first manifestation. A large amount of evidence has shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection could disrupt the gut microbiota balance, and disorders of the gut microbiota could aggravate the condition of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, maintaining the gut microbiota balance is expected to become a potential new therapeutic target for treating COVID-19. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has significant effects in all stages of the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. It can adjust the gut microbiota and is an ideal intestinal microecological regulator.

This paper aims to summarise the objectives, structure and activities of the consortium and introduces the position of the consortium regarding good practice, priorities, challenges and opportunities in TCM research. Serving as the introductory paper for the GP-TCM Journal of Ethnopharmacology special issue, this paper describes the roadmap of this special issue and reports how the main outputs of the ten GP-TCM work packages are integrated, and have led to consortium-wide conclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Literature studies, opinion polls and discussions among consortium members and stakeholders. RESULTS: By January 2012, through 3 years of team building, the GP-TCM consortium had grown into a large collaborative network involving ∼200 scientists from 24 countries and 107 institutions. Consortium members had worked closely to address good practice issues related to various aspects of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and acupuncture research, the focus of this Journal of Ethnopharmacology special issue, leading to state-of-the-art reports, guidelines and consensus on the application of omics technologies in TCM research. In addition, through an online survey open to GP-TCM members and non-members, we polled opinions on grand priorities, challenges and opportunities in TCM research. Based on the poll, although consortium members and non-members had diverse opinions on the major challenges in the field, both groups agreed that high-quality efficacy/effectiveness and mechanistic studies are grand priorities and that the TCM legacy in general and its management of chronic diseases in particular represent grand opportunities. Consortium members cast their votes of confidence in omics and systems biology approaches to TCM research and believed that quality and pharmacovigilance of TCM products are not only grand priorities, but also grand challenges. Non-members, however, gave priority to integrative medicine, concerned on the impact of regulation of TCM practitioners and emphasised intersectoral collaborations in funding TCM research, especially clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS: The GP-TCM consortium made great efforts to address some fundamental issues in TCM research, including developing guidelines, as well as identifying priorities, challenges and opportunities. These consortium guidelines and consensus will need dissemination, validation and further development through continued interregional, interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations. To promote this, a new consortium, known as the GP-TCM Research Association, is being established to succeed the 3-year fixed term FP7 GP-TCM consortium and will be officially launched at the Final GP-TCM Congress in Leiden, the Netherlands, in April 2012.","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2012.02.028","authors":["Halil Uzuner","Rudolf Bauer","Tai-Ping Fan","De‐an Guo","Alberto Carlos Pires Dias","Hani El‐Nezami","Thomas Efferth","Elizabeth M.

Obesity is now recognized as a disease that not only increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer but also negatively affects longevity and the quality of life. The traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are highly enriched in bioactive compounds and have been used for the treatment of obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases over a long period of time. In this review, we selected the most commonly used anti-obesity or anti-hyperlipidemia TCMs and, where known, their major bioactive compounds. We then summarized their multi-target molecular mechanisms, specifically focusing on lipid metabolism, including the modulation of lipid absorption, reduction of lipid synthesis, and increase of lipid decomposition and lipid transportation, as well as the regulation of appetite. This review produces a current and comprehensive understanding of integrative and systematic mechanisms for the use of TCMs for anti-obesity. We also advocate taking advantage of TCMs as another therapy for interventions on obesity-related diseases, as well as stressing the fact that more is needed to be done, scientifically, to determine the active compounds and modes of action of the TCMs.","url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2021.696603","authors":["Qijing Fan","Furong Xu","Bin Liang","Xiaoju Zou"],"tags":["Obesity","Lipid metabolism","Medicine","Traditional Chinese medicine","Disease"],"confidence":0.72,"sites":["tcm-tools"],"publishedDate":"2021-06-21","doi":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2021.696603","addedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-31T14:44:57.442Z"}]
