Objective Angina pectoris presents a significant public health burden. With the aim of clarifying the clinical value of Yixinshu preparations, this study systematically reviewed the literature to assess their effectiveness as an adjunctive therapy for the management of angina pectoris in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and further explore the relationship between different administration methods of Yixinshu and clinical efficacy. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang Database was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating Yixinshu as an adjunct to conventional therapy for CAD and angina pectoris. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess methodological quality. Quantitative synthesis and subgroup analysis were performed using ReviewManager5.4 software, and sensitivity analysis was performed with Stata. Results Thirteen studies with 1502 patients were included. Compared with western medicine alone, adjunctive Yixinshu preparation significantly improved ECG outcomes [OR = 2.61,95%CI (1.81,3.74), P < 0.00001], and showed higher clinical efficacy in response rate [OR = 3.38,95%CI (2.38,4.80), P < 0.00001]. Significant reduction in the duration [MD = 1.25,95%CI (0.39,2.10) and frequency [MD = 1.04,95%CI (0.35, 1.73] of angina pectoris episodes were noted. Subgroup analysis revealed correlations between angina duration and dosage, as well as between angina frequency and both dosage and treatment regime. Regarding safety, adverse reactions were reported in five studies, with a relatively lower incidence in the experimental group. Conclusion Adjunctive Yixinshu with routine pharmacological treatment significantly improves treatment efficacy in angina pectoris. The therapeutic effects on angina duration and frequency varied across different administration forms and dosages.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy, a formidable cardiovascular complication linked to diabetes, is witnessing a relentless surge in its incidence. Despite extensive research efforts, the primary pathogenic mechanisms underlying this condition remain elusive. Consequently, a critical research imperative lies in identifying a sensitive and dependable marker for early diagnosis and treatment, thereby mitigating the onset and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Exosomes (EXOs), minute vesicles enclosed within bilayer lipid membranes, have emerged as a fascinating frontier in this quest, capable of transporting a diverse cargo that mirrors the physiological and pathological states of their parent cells. These exosomes play an active role in the intercellular communication network of the cardiovascular system. Within the realm of exosomes, MicroRNA (miRNA) stands as a pivotal molecular player, revealing its profound influence on the progression of DCM. This comprehensive review aims to offer an introductory exploration of exosome structure and function, followed by a detailed examination of the intricate role played by exosome-associated miRNA in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Our ultimate objective is to bolster our comprehension of DCM diagnosis and treatment strategies, thereby facilitating timely intervention and improved outcomes.

Introduction After stroke, hemiplegia, dysphasia and facial paralysis can manifest during the convalescent period. Currently, no Chinese patent medicine (CPM) is previously reported to cure each of these symptoms primarily, and thus, there are no relevant instructions for the use of CPM. This study presents a new approach based on comparative effectiveness research to distinguish the curative effects of three CPMs that are often used in stroke convalescence to determine the ideal medicine for the treatment of each symptom. Methods and analysis In this multicentre and double-blind clinical trial, stratified randomisation is used to group the patients according to their primary symptoms (hemiplegia, dysphasia and facial paralysis). Three strata will be enrolled, with 80 eligible participants included in each stratum. Each stratum will be randomly and equally divided into four groups, and each group will receive one of the following treatments: Naoxuekang, Xinnaoshutong (XNST), Xuesaitong (XST) or placebo. This study will include two stages: the initial treatment period (30 days) and a follow-up period (180 days). Three replicates for each data point will be completed during this trial. The first visit will occur on day 0 after enrolment, the second visit on day 30±2 and the third visit on day 210±5. The Delphi technique is adopted to achieve index weighting, which ensures that the evaluation outcome is patient oriented. The weighted index value will be computed as the final measurement index of the outcome. Ethics and dissemination This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (registration number TJUTCM-EC20160007). The results will be offered for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Trial registration number This trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IOR-17010397). The date of registration was 11 January 2017.
Objective Individualized application of TCM is not easy and may lead to undesirable results, such as poor effect or even adverse reactions. This trial aims to compare two common Chinese patent medicines with similar effects. Background of the Research Four hospitals carried out the test at the same time in Tianjin city of China. Participants 144 patients were involved in this study; all patients must meet the diagnostic criteria. Interventions Qishen Yiqi pills, compound danshen pills, and their placebos; an efficacy analysis was conducted after the first medication and after crossover medication. Primary Outcome Measures The primary index of end point includes Seattle Angina Questionnaire score-7 and score of 7-point Likert Scale; the curative effect was compared with minimal clinically important differences value. Result Two drugs have their respective advantages in treating SAP. In practical application, the two drugs shall be discriminated in use based on patients' specific symptoms. Trial Registration Chinese clinical trials register is ChiCTR-TTRCC-14004406 (registered 23 March 2014).
This study observed the efficacy and safety of JinqiJiangtang tablets (JQJT tablets, a traditional Chinese patent medicine) for pre-diabetes. Four hundred patients with pre-diabetes at five centres were treated for 12months and followed for an additional 12months to investigate the preventative effects of JQJT tablets (Registration ID: ChiCTR-PRC-09000401). The incidence rate of diabetes mellitus was the primary endpoint. The risk of converting from pre-diabetes to diabetes was 0.58-fold less in the JQJT tablets group than in the placebo group [HR (95% CI): 0.58 (0.384, 0.876), P = 0.010]. Furthermore, the probability of achieving normalized blood glucose was 1.41-fold greater in the JQJT tablets group than in the placebo group [HR (95% CI): 1.41 (1.002, 1.996), P = 0.0049]. ITT analysis revealed that the incidence of diabetes upon treatment completion was 16.5% in the JQJT tablets group compared with 28.9% in the control group. The percentage of patients with normalized blood glucose upon 12-month intervention was 41.8% in the JQJT tablets group compared with 27.8% in the control group. JQJT tablets could be an effective intervention for preventative treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Quality control is a key link in the process of clinical trials and important content, the quality of clinical trials about the reliability of test results. Therefore, clinical researchers devoted to study how to strengthen the quality control of drug clinical trials. As the electronic data and remote mode in recent years in the application and development of clinical trial data management, establishing the new clinical trials quality control system is imminent. Based on previous research experience, this paper puts forward the concept of quality of centralized control, which is based on network technology, the realization of drug clinical trials main links and personnel online interaction, through the role assignment and responsibility, realize the dynamic quality control. Centralized drug clinical trial the fundamental lies in the standardization for the implementation of quality control, including the seamless network supervision and clinical design is the key. In this paper, regarding the centralized modern drug clinical trials quality control paper introduced standardized specifications and requirements of the construction of the peer to reference.
The implementation process management plays a important role for the quality of centralized safety monitoring study of post-marketing Chinese medical injections.One of the critical link is hospital.Currently,there is no principle or specification for hospital choosing,number of monitoring points,data collection responsible part and forms of data collection as well.These issues caused uneven quality,huge differences in results and questioned conclusion.Based on the previous research experience,this paper focused on discussing the link of hospital where research data may be influenced,and proposed some suggestions.
Objectives N-of-1 trials can be aggregated to estimate population treatment effects using hierarchical Bayesian models. It is very important to report core items in hierarchical Bayesian analysis. In this study, we assessed reporting of items in hierarchical Bayesian analysis for aggregating N-of-1 trials to estimate population treatment effects. Study Design and Setting This was a systematic literature review of aggregating N-of-1 trials by hierarchical Bayesian models to estimate population treatment effects. A comprehensive search was performed to collect eligible articles. Pilot studies, formal N-of-1 trials and reports in which the data were reanalyzed using hierarchical Bayesian methods, were included. The information of reported items related with hierarchical Bayesian analysis was extracted by two independent reviewers. The guideline "ROBUST," developed for reporting Bayesian analysis of clinical studies, was published in Journal of Clinical Epidemiology in 2005. We assessed the included reports using ROBUST criteria and 18 other important items. Results After careful screening, 11 studies were identified to be eligible for inclusion. There were three pilot studies, four formal trials, and four reports in which the data were reanalyzed using hierarchical Bayesian methods. The number of reported items in ROBUST criteria ranged from six to seven, with a median number of six. Five of eleven included articles reported all items of the ROBUST criteria. But for justification and sensitivity analysis in prior distribution items, other items were reported in all of the included articles. Software and analysis data set items were reported the most frequently in additional items excluded from the ROBUST criteria. Less than half of the studies reported the other additional items. Conclusion Reporting of core items in hierarchical Bayesian analysis for aggregating N-of-1 trials to estimate population treatment effects is suboptimal. A PRISMA-like guidance on reviews of Bayesian N-of-1 trials may be required in the future.
中医药用于肿瘤的辅助治疗,具有独特优势.由于研究质量的参差不齐,中医药辅助治疗肿瘤疗效尚待进一步确证.从西方科学的临床研究方法中寻找适合中医药研究的临床评价方法是解决上述问题的重要途径.质量调整生存分析方法起源于西方医学,是将生存质量和生存时间两个纬度测量指标整合为单纬度的综合疗效评价方法,包括QALYs、Twist、Q-Twist、TIO、质量-数量Cox回归分析等.质量调整生存分析具有较高灵敏度、节省样本量和花费等优点.与单纬度的生存时间或生存质量分析相比,质量调整生存分析可能更适用于中医药辅助治疗肿瘤的疗效评价.
