Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine injection in the treatment of acute heart failure. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and SinoMed were searched for the randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicines in the treatment of acute heart failure with the time interval from the inception to July 10, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Stata 15.1 was used to perform network Meta-analysis. A total of 117 RCTs were included, involving 10 529 patients and 7 Chinese medicine injections: Shenfu Injection, Shenmai Injection, Danhong Injection, Puera-rin Injection, Xinmailong Injection, Shengmai Injection, and Yiqi Fumai Injection. Network Meta-analysis yielded the following results.(1) In terms of improving the total response rate, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) ranking was Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventio-nal western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(2)In terms of reducing brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), the SUCRA ranking was Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional wes-tern medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(3)In terms of reducing N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(4) In terms of improving the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(5) In terms of decreasing the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), the SUCRA ranking was Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine=Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shengmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine > Puerarin Injection + conventional western medicine.(6) In terms of increasing the 6-min walk trail(6MWT), the SUCRA ranking was Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Yiqi Fumai Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(7) In terms of reducing the Minnesota heart failure quality of life scale(MLHFQ) scores, the SUCRA ranking was Xinmailong Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenmai Injection + conventional western medicine > Shenfu Injection + conventional western medicine > conventional western medicine.(8)In terms of safety, the group of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine had lower incidence of adverse reactions than the control group. The current evidence shows that combining Chinese medicine injection with conventional western medicine treatment can improve the therapeutic effect on acute heart failure, with high safety. Due to the limited number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Abstract
Network Meta-analysis was employed to compare the efficacy of Chinese medicine injections for activating blood and resolving stasis combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and the effects on platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen(FIB), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), with a view to providing evidence-based medicine reference for clinical medication. CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMbase were searched for randomized controlled trial(RCT) on the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection, Danhong Injection, Shuxuetong Injection, Xueshuantong Injection, Shuxuening Injection, Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection, and Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection combined with conventional western medicine. The retrieval time was from database inception to March 18, 2023. The articles were extracted by two researchers and their quality was evaluated. R 4.2.2 was used for network Meta-analysis. A total of 87 RCTs involving 8 580 patients were included. Network Meta-analysis showed that, in terms of reducing National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) scores, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) showed the order of Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine(88.7%) > Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(73.7%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional western medicine(69.7%) > Shuxuening Injection + conventional western medicine(51.8%) > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(43.7%) > Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection + conventional western medicine(36.8%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(35.3%) > conventional western medicine(1.7%). In terms of improving clinical total effective rate, SUCRA showed the order of Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(63.0%) > Shuxuening Injection + conventional western medicine(59.0%) > Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(58.9%) > Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection + conventional western medicine(57.1%) > Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine(56.8%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional western medicine(54.6%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(50.5%) > conventional western medicine(0.03%). In terms of improving Barthel index, SUCRA showed the order of Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(84.7%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional western medicine(72.4%) > Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection + conventional western medicine(61.6%) > Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(44.6%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(43.2%) > Shuxuening Injection + conventional western medicine(42.2%) > conventional western medicine(1.4%). In terms of reducing platelet aggregation rate, SUCRA showed the order of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(82.4%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional western medicine(81.6%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(40.7%) > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(37.3%) > conventional western medicine(8.0%). In terms of reducing FIB, SUCRA showed the order of Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(81.0%) > Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(71.9%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(70.0%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional western medicine(46.7%) > Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine(22.6%) > conventional western medicine(8.7%). In terms of reducing hs-CRP, SUCRA showed the order of Shuxuening Injection + conventional western medicine(89.9%) > Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine(78.8%) > Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection + conventional western medicine(52.4%) > Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine(47.6%) > Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine(43.5%) > Shuxuetong Injection + conventional Western medicine(35.6%) > conventional western medicine(2.3%). The results indicated that Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine, Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine, and Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine ranked the top three. Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine had the best effect on reducing NIHSS scores. Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine showed the best performance of improving clinical total effective rate, improving Barthel index, and reducing FIB in the blood. Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection + conventional western medicine had the best effect on reducing platelet aggregation rate in the blood. Shuxuening Injection + conventional western medicine had the best effect on reducing hs-CRP. However, more high-quality RCTs are needed for verification in the future to provide more reliable evidence-based medical reference.

[PMID: 37057304 PMCID: PMC10108409 DOI: 10.1177/15347354231164753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 04/15/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections, as a relatively safe and low-cost treatment, have been widely used in the prevention and treatment of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity in China. However, the quality of the relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in recent years is uneven, so that the effectiveness and safety of TCM injections in preventing and treating anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity remain to be discussed. A systematic overview is therefore needed to provide a more advanced evidentiary reference for clinical practice. METHODS Eight Chinese and English databases were searched by computer to screen the meta-analyses/systematic reviews on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine injections for the prevention and treatment of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity from the database establishment to October 2022. The methodological quality and evidence quality of outcome indicators included in the study were evaluated by AMSTAR 2 tool, PRISMA statement and GRADE classification. RESULTS A total of 7 articles were included in the study. The quality evaluation of AMSTAR 2 showed that 7 studies were extremely low-level; PRISMA stated that the evaluation results showed that the reports of 7 studies were of intermediate quality; The GRADE rating indicated that most of the evidence was of low quality. CONCLUSION The methodological quality and evidence quality of meta-analysis/system evaluation concerning the prevention and treatment of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity by Chinese medicine are currently low, and the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in the treatment of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity needs more high-quality evidence-based evidence.

The experimental groups had lower incidence of adverse reactions than the control group. The results of network Meta-analysis suggest that on the combination of conventional treatment of western medicine with Chinese medicine injections can improve the efficacy on rheumatoid arthritis. However, in view of the great differences in the quality and number of studies included for different therapies, the SUCRA of Chinese medicine injections need to be further verified with high-quality multi-center, large-sample, randomized double-blind trials.

Abstract
Network Meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of different Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional therapy in the treatment of stroke-associated pneumonia. CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for the relevant literature pubslished from inception to April 1, 2022. Stata 17 was used for data analysis. After screening of 1 189 papers, 72 studies were finally selected, which involved 5 819 patients and 6 Chinese medicine injections(Tanreqing Injection, Xingnaojing Injection, Xuebijing Injection, Xiyanping Injection, Shenfu Injection, and Shenmai Injection). The network Meta-analysis ranked the injections as follows.(1) In terms of improving the total clinical effective rate, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) followed the order of Xiyanping Injection + conventional therapy > Xuebijing Injection + conventional therapy > Tanreqing Injection + conventional therapy > Shenmai Injection + conventional therapy > Xingnaojing Injection + conventional therapy > Shenfu Injection + conventional therapy > conventional therapy.(2) In terms of recovering the National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) scores, the SUCRA followed the order of Xuebijing Injection + conventional therapy > Xingnaojing Injection + conventional therapy > Tanreqing Injection + conventional therapy > Shenfu Injection + conventional therapy > conventional therapy.(3) In reducing the average time to abatement of fever, the SUCRA followed the order of Xiyanping Injection + conventional therapy > Tanreqing Injection + conventional therapy > Xuebijing Injection + conventional therapy > conventional therapy.(4) In terms of reducing the mean hospital stay, the SUCRA followed the order of Xiyanping Injection + conventional therapy > Xubijing Injection + conventional therapy > Tanreqing Injection + conventional therapy > Shenmai Injection + conventional therapy > conventional therapy. The clinical efficacy of Tanreqing Injection, Xuebijing Injection, Xiyanping Injection, Xingnaojing Injection, Shenmai Injection, or Shenfu Injection combined with conventional therapy was superior to that of conventional therapy alone. However, due to the limitations of the quality and methodology of different intervention measures, this conclusion needs to be verified by more high-quality and rigorously designed randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine injections in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, we collected the relevant randomized controlled trials(RCTs) by computer retrieval from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, and CBM within the timespan from inception to December 30, 2021. The obtained index data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0. Finally, 63 RCTs were selected for analysis, involving 5 953 patients. The experimental groups involved 9 Chinese medicine injections, including Danshen Injection, Danhong Injection, Sodium Aescinate Injection, Qingkailing Injection, Compound Shexiang Injection, Shuxuening Injection, Yinxing Damo Injection, Ginkgolide Injection, and Xingnaojing Injection. The network Meta-analysis showcased the following trends.(1)The surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) in improving neurological function ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection>combined with Danshen Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Qingkailing Injection>combined with Shuxuening Injection>combined with Yinxing Damo Injection.(2)In terms of National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score, the SUCRA ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection>combined with Yinxing Damo Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection.(3)In terms of Glasgow coma scale(GCS) score, the ranking of SUCRA was surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Yinxing Damo Injection>combined with Qingkailing Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection.(4)The SUCRA in volume of residual cerebral hematoma ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Shuxuening Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection. The experimental group had lower incidence of adverse reactions than the control group. The results of network Meta-analysis suggest that on the basis of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine, the application of Chinese medicine injections can improve the efficacy of treating hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. However, in view of the great differences in the quality and number of studies included for different therapies, the SUCRA of Chinese medicine injections need to be further verified with high-quality multi-center, large-sample, randomized double-blind trials.

Comparative effectiveness of phlegm-heat clearing Chinese medicine injections for AECOPD: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 292:115043. [PMID: 35124185 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Qingkailing (QKL), Reduning (RDN), Xiyanping (XYP), Tanreqing (TRQ) and Yuxingcao (YXC) injections are all phlegm-heat clearing Chinese medicine (CM) injections composed of the extract from traditional CM materials. Evidence from clinical studies and animal experiments indicates that the above CM injections are effective supplementary therapy for acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and clinicians are faced with a difficult choice on the optimal phlegm-heat clearing CM injection for AECOPD. AIM OF THE STUDY This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of five commonly used phlegm-heat clearing CM injections for COPD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed to assess the effectiveness of QKL, RDN, TRQ, XYP and YXC on AECOPD. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching English and Chinese databases. The primary outcome was lung function (forced expiration volume [FEV1] and forced vital capacity [FVC]), blood gas analysis index was secondary outcome measure. Winbugs and Stata 15.0 software were used for data analysis. RESULTS A total of 57 RCTs were included. The pairwise analyses showed that each of the injections combined with routine treatment were superior to routine treatment alone [FEV1: QKL, MD 0.20, 95% CI (0.06, 0.35); RDN, MD 0.24, 95% CI (0.08, 0.40); TRQ, MD 0.24, 95% CI (0.19, 0.29); XYP, MD 0.26, 95% CI (0.20, 0.32); YXC MD 0.73, 95% CI (0.06, 1.41)]. The network meta-analysis provided the following rank of lung function improvement: FEV1: YXC > TRQ > XYP > RDN > QKL; FVC: YXC > TRQ > QKL > RDN > XYP. RDN and YXC ranked highest in blood gas analysis index. RDN was the highest ranked injection for effectiveness, followed by QKL, TRQ, XYP, then YXC. Most of the injections appeared safe, with severe adverse events rarely reported. CONCLUSION This study suggests that YXC and TRQ are the most effective therapies in treating AECOPD patients. RDN and YXC are more effective in the alleviation of clinical symptoms. Given that the safety of YXC is controversial, TRQ and RDN may be preferable as phlegm-heat clearing CM injections in the adjuvant treatment of AECOPD.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicine injections in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Randomized controlled trial(RCT) on the treatment of AECOPD with heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicine injections were retrieved from 8 databases including CNKI and PubMed(from establishment to July 11, 2021). Related information in eligible articles was extracted, and the quality of the included articles was assessed by Cochrane collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. Stata SE 15.1 and ADDIS 1.16.6 were employed for data analysis. A total of 81 RCTs were screened out, involving 7 526 patients(3 782 in the experimental group and 3 744 in the control group). According to the statistical difference and network Meta-analysis, the injections are in the order of(1)Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine in improving the effective rate,(2)Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine in decreasing C-reactive protein(CRP),(3)Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine>Xiyanping Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine in reducing white blood cell count(WBC),(4)Yuxingcao Injection+conventional western medicine>Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine in lowering partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO_2),(5)Yuxingcao Injection+conventional western medicine>Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine>Xiyanping Injection+conventional western medicine in improving partial pressure of oxygen(PaO_2), and(6)Qingkailing Injection+conventional western medicine>Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine in shortening mean hospital stay. In terms of safety, none of the five injections have serious adverse reactions. The five heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicine injections are effective for AECOPD, but the mechanisms are different. Among them, Reduning Injection+conventional western medicine and Tanreqing Injection+conventional western medicine demonstrate better and more effects. Due to the differences in the quantity and quality of included studies, the conclusion needs to be further verified.

Abstract
Background: Chinese medicine injection is wildly used in Acute Lung Injury and Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) treatment. However, what kinds of CMIs are more effective in the ALI/ARDS treatment is uncertain. Objectives: Compare the efficacy of different CMIs to identify the optimal one for the therapy of ALI/ARDS patients. Data sources: We searched the data up to April 30, 2020 from MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, the China Science Journal Citation Report (VIP database), WanFang and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure Study selection: Randomized Clinical Trials assessed at least one of the following outcomes: mortality, Oxygenation Index, length of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation duration, APACHEⅡ score, SOFA score and Murray score, for adult patients of ALI/ADRS. Eligible Studies should also use CMIs as complementary therapies in addition to the standard treatment. Data extraction and synthesis: Two reviewers independently assessed the data. Then, we used a Bayesian random-effects network meta-analysis for data synthesis. Results: Twenty-six studies were selected (involved 2073 participants). Seven kinds of CMIs were evaluated. Compared with standard treatment, Xuebijing is associated with lower mortality. Tanreqing and Xuebijing have the best effect on improving the Oxygenation Index. Huangqi, Danshen, Tanreqing and Xuebijing can significantly reduce the APACHE II score (Huangqi works better than Xuebijing). Huangqi and Xuebijing have the best effect on reducing mechanical ventilation duration and Murray score, while Xuebijing has the best effect on shortening the length of ICU stay. Conclusions: As adjuvant drugs, Xuebijing, Tanreqing and Huangqi show certain effects on treating ALI/ARDS in different aspects.

Abstract
In this study, Honghua Injection, Danshen Injection, Shenkang Injection, Shuxuetong Injection, Lulutong Injection, Shenxiong Glucose Injection and Chuanxiong Injection were compared for their clinical efficacy on chronic renal insufficiency by using the method of network Meta-analysis, with Western medicine as the common reference. The randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Hong-hua Injection, Danshen Injection, Shenkang Injection, Shuxuetong Injection, Lulutong Injection, Shenxiong Glucose Injection and Chuanxiong Injection for the treatment of chronic renal insufficiency were obtained by computer-based retrieval. The literature quality was evaluated by using the method in Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook 5.1 after independent screening of the included literature by two reviewers. The RJAGS package and GEMTC package of RevMan 5.3, GEMTC software, R software were used for statistical analysis to compare and sort the different injections in terms of efficacy. A total of 6 197 patients with chronic renal failure were included in 79 RCTs, involving 8 treatment measures. The effective rates of conventional treatment combined with Shenxiong Injection(OR=3.55, 95%CI[1.98, 6.37], P<0.000 1), Honghua Injection(OR=3.77, 95%CI[2.45, 5.81], P<0.000 01), Shuxuetong Injection(OR=6.71, 95%CI[3.30, 13.65], P<0.000 01) and Shenkang Injection(OR=4.14, 95%CI[3.42, 5.03], P<0.000 01) were all better than that in control group, and the effective rate of Honghua Injection combined with conventional treatment(OR=3.89, 95%CI[1.73, 8.74], P=0.001) was better than that in Danshen Injection combined with conventional treatment, all with statistically significant differences. By comprehensive comparison, Shuxuetong Injection, Honghua Injection and Shenkang Injection combined with Western medicine had good clinical effect on the effective rate, serum creatinine reduction and urea nitrogen reduction in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. However, due to the relatively low quality of the included literature, the conclusion has yet to be verified clinically.

Abstract
To assess the clinical efficacy of Huoxue Huayu Chinese medicine injections on hypertensive nephropathy by using Network Meta-analysis method. The relative randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of Huoxue Huayu Chinese medicine injections on hypertensive nephropathy were retrieved from CNKI, WanFang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science in November 2019. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation. The data was analyzed by RevMan 5.3, Stata 15.1, ADDIS 1.16.8 software. Finally, 4 518 patients in 50 RCTs were included, involving 5 kinds of Huoxue Huayu Chinese medicine injections. The five Chinese medicine injections were Breviscapine Injection, Danhong Injection, Sodium Tanshinone Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection, Ginkgo Dipyridamole Injection, and Salvianolate Injection. Meta-analysis showed that, in terms of renal function protection, urine protein quantification and serum creatinine of each Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional Western medicine group, except Salvianolate Injection combined with conventional Western medicine group, was significantly lower than those of the conventional Western medicine treatment group. Ginkgo Dipyridamole Injection combined with conventional Western medicine had the best effect in reducing urine protein, and Danhong Injection combined with conventional Western medicine had the best effect in reducing serum creatinine. In terms of blood pressure control, the blood pressure of each Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional Western medicine group, except Breviscapine Injection combined with conventional Western medicine group, was significantly lower than that of conventional Western medicine treatment group. Salvianolate Injection combined with conventional Western medicine had the best effect in reducing blood pressure. In terms of safety, no serious adverse reactions were found in all studies. The five kinds of Huoxue Huayu Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional Western medicine had significantly advantages in the treatment of hypertensive nephropathy. Ginkgo Dipyridamole Injection combined with conventional Western medicine is most likely to be the optimal therapy. However, limited by the quantity and quality of the documents included, the conclusion of this study still needs to be verified by more high-quality, multi-center and large-sample RCT.

Abstract
Aims We aim to assess the effect of a lyophilized herbal injection on 90 day mortality and readmission rates in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods and results The AUGUST‐AHF study is a multicentre, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial enrolling 1270 hospitalized patients for AHF. Patients are randomized to receive YiqiFumai lyophilized injection (5.2 g/day) or placebo for 10 days, in addition to standard therapy, using a 1:1 ratio via an interactive web response system. The primary endpoint is the 90 day all‐cause mortality or AHF readmission rates. Secondary endpoints include 180 day all‐cause mortality or heart failure readmission rates, length of hospital stay for the indexed AHF, 90 day cardiac‐specific mortality rate, occurrence of worsening heart failure through Day 10, changes in the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Quality of Life scale score through Day 180, and 90 day major adverse cardiac events. Additional secondary endpoints include change in dyspnoea via visual analogue scale (VAS) and Likert 7‐point comparator scale, N terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide value and New York Heart Association functional class, and the total amount of diuretics for the indexed AHF hospitalization. Study recruitment is expected to be completed by March 2021, and follow‐up will end in September 2021. In an optional sub‐study, patients will be followed up for 3 years. Conclusions To our best knowledge, AUGUST‐AHF is the first study assessing the efficacy of a Chinese herbal injection in patients with AHF. The results will be valuable to guide clinicians in using YiqiFumai lyophilized injection, which was included in the latest Chinese Health Insurance Catalog.

Is Chinese Medicine Injection Applicable for Treating Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Chin J Integr Med 2019; 26:857-866. [PMID: 31776962 DOI: 10.1007/s11655-019-3078-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine injection (CMI) for treating acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by searching 3 English databases and 4 Chinese databases from their inceptions until February 2019. The Cochrane Handbook was used to evaluate risk of bias in the included studies. Data analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3.3 software. RESULTS A total of 19 eligible RCTs involving 1,334 participants was included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The main meta-analysis showed that CMI combined with conventional therapy (CT) was more effective than CT alone in reducing the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) H score [mean difference (MD): -1.74 points, 95% confidence interval (CI): -2.77 to -0.71, I2=0] and increasing the total effective rate [relative risk (RR): 1.35, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.56, I2=37%]. Compared with CT, CMI combined with CT showed improvements in the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2, MD: 9.25 mm Hg, 95% CI: 0.87 to 17.63, I2=98%) and oxygenation index [arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), MD: 50.75 mm Hg, 95% CI: 35.18 to 66.31, I2=94%]. CMI plus CT was superior to CT in reducing the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score (MD: -0.84 points, 95% CI: -1.26 to -0.42, I2=65%), length of hospital stay (MD: -4.22 days, 95% CI: -6.49 to -1.95, I2=92%), and duration of mechanical ventilation (MD: -2.94 days, 95% CI: -4.68 to -1.21, I2=89%). Only 1 study reported adverse events. CONCLUSIONS CMI as an adjuvant therapy showed great potential benefits for the treatment of ALI/ARDS. However, we could not make a definite conclusion due to low quality of included studies and uncertain security. Future studies should focus on improving research design, especially in blindness and placebo. The reporting of adverse events was also needed.

[Clinical characteristics of five traditional Chinese medicine injections in treating heart failure based on Meta-analysis literature]. ZHONGGUO ZHONG YAO ZA ZHI = ZHONGGUO ZHONGYAO ZAZHI = CHINA JOURNAL OF CHINESE MATERIA MEDICA 2019; 43:4152-4162. [PMID: 30486544 DOI: 10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20180709.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
In this article, we analyze the clinical characteristics of five kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections in treating heart failure based on Meta-analysis. A total of 24 Meta-analysis papers were included, which involved Shenfu Injection, Shenmai Injection, Shengmai Injection, Danhong Injection and Huangqi Injection. The numbers of literatures of Shenfu Injection, Shenmai Injection and Shengmai Injection are high than the other two injections. The efficiencies of these injections combined with Western medicine are higher than the Western medicine used alone. They can improve 6 minute walk test result, ejection fraction, the level of brain peptide sodium and so on. Shenfu Injection can also improve the living quality of patients' life, heart rate and other indicators. Shenfu Injection can be used for patients with Yin deficiency, while Shenmai Injection can be used for patients with Yin deficiency and Shengmai Injection can be used for patients with Qi and Yin deficiency. From this information, we can see that Western medicine combined with traditional Chinese medicine injections can significantly improve the clinical efficiency. These injections need to be used according to patients' symptom. In the present, as the quality of clinical research literature of traditional Chinese medicine injections is low, the efficiency and safety evaluation of Chinese medicine injections still requires higher level of clinical evidence.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to evaluate the drug safety of sofren injection in clinical studies. Seven databases were retrieved, and the articles were extracted by 2 researchers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then the quality of all studies and extracted information was evaluated. Sixty three articles were finally included in our study, including 58 randomized controlled trials, 3 non randomized controlled trials, and 2 case reports. All studies included 5 872 patients. Intervention group had a total of 23 cases of adverse drug reaction(ADR), accounting for 0.39% of the total number of patients. ADRs mainly included headache(6 cases), palpitations(4 cases) and dizziness(4 cases). ADRs mainly occurred in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system and so on. Serious adverse events about sofren injection have not been found in the study, but it is still needed to be cautious in clinical applications. As the current systematic review is based on the previous studies, it is necessary to strengthen the safety monitoring in a long period, and regulate its clinical use as well.

A Comprehensive Strategy to Evaluate Compatible Stability of Chinese Medicine Injection and Infusion Solutions Based on Chemical Analysis and Bioactivity Assay. Front Pharmacol 2017; 8:833. [PMID: 29187820 PMCID: PMC5694823 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2017] [Accepted: 10/31/2017] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Stability of traditional Chinese medicine injection (TCMI) is an important issue related with its clinical application. TCMI is composed of multi-components, therefore, when evaluating TCMI stability, several marker compounds cannot represent global components or biological activities of TCMI. Till now, when evaluating TCMI stability, method involving the global components or biological activities has not been reported. In this paper, we established a comprehensive strategy composed of three different methods to evaluate the chemical and biological stability of a typical TCMI, Danhong injection (DHI). UHPLC-TQ/MS was used to analyze the stability of marker compounds (SaA, SaB, RA, DSS, PA, CA, and SG) in DHI, UHPLC-QTOF/MS was used to analyze the stability of global components (MW 80–1000 Da) in DHI, and cell based antioxidant capability assay was used to evaluate the bioactivity of DHI. We applied this strategy to assess the compatible stability of DHI and six infusion solutions (GS, NS, GNS, FI, XI, and DGI), which were commonly used in combination with DHI in clinic. GS was the best infusion solution for DHI, and DGI was the worst one based on marker compounds analysis. Based on global components analysis, XI and DGI were the worst infusion solutions for DHI. And based on bioactivity assay, GS was the best infusion solution for DHI, and XI was the worst one. In conclusion, as evaluated by the established comprehensive strategy, GS was the best infusion solution, however, XI and DGI were the worst infusion solutions for DHI. In the compatibility of DHI and XI or DGI, salvianolic acids in DHI would be degraded, resulting in the reduction of original composition and generation of new components, and leading to the changes of biological activities. This is the essence of instability compatibility of DHI and some infusion solutions. Our study provided references for choosing the reasonable infusion solutions for DHI, which could contribute the improvement of safety and efficacy of DHI. Moreover, the established strategy may be applied for the compatible stability evaluation of other TCMIs.
