This study observed the effects of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1(mTORC1) signaling pathway and mitochondrial energy metabolism in the rat model of adriamycin-induced renal fibrosis with blood stasis syndrome to explore the mechanism of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma in protecting the kidney. Thirty male rats with adriamycin-induced renal fibrosis were randomized into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma, and positive control groups(n=6). Six clean SD male rats were selected into the normal group. The normal group and model group were administrated with normal saline, and other groups with corresponding drugs. After 8 weeks of treatment, the renal function, renal pathology, adenosine triphosphate(ATP) levels, Na~+-K~+-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase activities, and the protein levels of ATP5B, mTORC1, 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase(P70S6K), P85, Akt, p-Akt, and SH2-containing inositol phosphatase(SHIP2) in the renal tissue were determined. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(SCr)(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and the positive control lowered the levels of BUN and SCr, which were significant in the medium-and high-dose Noto-ginseng Radix et Rhizoma groups and the positive control group(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and the positive control alleviated the pathological changes in the renal tissue, such as vacuolar and fibroid changes, glomerulus atrophy, cystic expansion of renal tubules, and massive infiltration of inflammatory cells. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased mitochondrial ATP content and Na~+-K~+-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase activities in the renal tissue(P<0.05), and medium-and high-dose Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and positive control mitigated such decreases(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, medium-and high-dose Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and the positive control up-regulated the protein levels of ATP5B and SHIP2 and down-regulated the protein levels of mTORC1, P70S6K, P85, Akt, and p-Akt(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001). Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma may exert an anti-fibrosis effect by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 pathway to restore mitochondrial energy metabolism, thus protecting the kidney.
To analyze the efficacy and safety of proprietary Chinese medicines for the treatment of Lupus Nephritis (LN) based on the reticulated meta analysis. The study aim to provide evidence-based evidence for the clinical treatment of LN.The studies related to the randomized controlled studies (RCTs) on the treatment of LN with oral proprietary Chinese medicines were obtained from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP), SinoMed, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library databases since its inception-August 2022. Cochrane tools were used for risk bias assessment, Stata 13.0 and ADDIS 1.16.5 software were used for net evidence analysis.Results.1) 41 RCTs with 3124 L N patients were included, involving 9 types of proprietary Chinese medicines.2) The meta-analysis showed that in terms of efficacy, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were Xin Gan Bao Capsule (XGB) +western medicines (WM), Huang Kui Capsule (HK) + WM, Kun Xian Capsule (KX) + WM; in terms of reducing adverse event rate, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were Yi Shen Hua Shi Granules (YSHS) + WM, Jin Shui Bao Capsule (JSB) + WM, HK + WM; in terms of reducing 24 h urine protein, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were XGB + WM, YSHS + WM, Bai Ling Capsule (BL) + WM; in terms of reducing blood creatinine (Cr), the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were Yi Shen Granules (YS) + WM, JSB + WM, KX + WM; in terms of reducing urea nitrogen (BUN), the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were Shen Kang Capsule (SK) + WM, HK + WM, JSB + WM; in terms of reducing systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were JSB + WM, BL + WM, YSHS + WM; in terms of improving complement C3, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were HK + WM, XGB + WM, BL + WM; in terms of improving complement C4, the top 3 Chinese patent medicine interventions were KX + WM, YSHS + WM, BL + WM.Xin Gan Bao Capsule has a good efficacy in improving efficiency and the level of complement C3, lowering 24 h urine protein. Jin Shui Bao Capsule and Huang Kui Capsule have a good efficacy in treating LN. However, more multicentre, large sample and high quality RCTs are needed for validation the results.
Objective To investigate the relationship between rs1067 polymorphism of WD repeat domain(WDR)5B gene and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes and clinical markers of ischemic stroke(IS).Methods A total of 1 567 patients with IS and healthy controls at the same time were selected.The genotyping of WDR5B gene rs1067 polymorphism was primarily per-formed with the sequenom MassARRAY SNP technology.The TCM syndromes of IS patients were classified according to the TCM Syn-drome Differentiation Diagnostic Criteria for Apoplexy.Results WDR5B gene rs1067 polymorphism was significantly associated with the occurrence of wind syndrome of IS[allelic(A/G):P=0.037;dominant(AA+GA/GG):P=0.043;additive(AA/GG):P=0.041].After adjusting for sex and age,WDR5B gene rs1067 polymorphism was still significantly associated with the risk of IS syndrome[dominant(AA+GA/GG):P=0.032;additive(AA/GG):P=0.032].After adjusting for sex and age,WDR5B gene rs1067 poly-morphism was significantly associated with postprandial 2 h plasma glucose level and high-density lipoprotein level in patients with IS(P<0.05).Conclusions WDR5B gene rs1067 polymorphism might affect the occurrence of wind syndrome of IS.WDR5B rs1067 gene polymorphism might affect postprandial 2 h plasma glucose level and high-density lipoprotein level in IS patients.
