OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions for resolving phlegm in the treatment of angina pectoris of phlegmstasis coronary heart disease by a network Meta-analysis.METHODS:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on clinical efficacy of CHD angina pectoris with interaction of phlegm and blood stasis were searched in PubMed,Springer,the Cochrane Library and Chinese-language databases China National Knowledge Infrastructure,China Science and Technology Journal Database,and Wanfang Data from their inception to December 2021.Literature was screened and literature bias risk was assessed by RevMan5.4 software.The overall response rate,the duration of angina attack,the levels of serum lipids such as total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and expression of hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were selected as outcome indicators for network Meta-analysis and mapped using Stata15.1 software.RESULTS:Totally,26 RCTs were included,involving 2098 participants.There were 6 TCM formulas with the effects of dispelling phlegm and removing blood stasis.Taking conventional Western Medicine as the common intervention measures,the results showed that the overall response improvement rate from high to low was displayed as modified Xiaoxianxiong decoction(小陷胸汤,MXD),Danlou tablet(丹蒌片,DT),modified Gualou Xiebai Banxia decoction(瓜蒌薤白半夏汤,MGXBD),modified Wendan decoction(温胆汤,MWD),modified Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi decoction(枳实薤白桂枝汤,MZXGD),and modified Erchen decoction(二陈汤,MED).The sequence of angina attack duration improvement from high to low was MZXGD,MGXBD,DT,MWD,MXD.The sequence of TC improvement from high to low was MZXGD,MED,DT,and MGXBD.Sequence of improving TG from high to low was MED,MZXGD,MGXBD,and DT.For LDL-C improvement,the effect from good to poor was MZXGD,MGXBD,DT,and MED.With regard to HDL-C improvement,the effect was ranked as MED,MZXGD,MGXBD,and DT from good to poor.hs-CRP expression from high to low was MZXGD,MXD,MED,MWD,and MGXBD.CONCLUSION:TCM formula with the effects of dispelling phlegm and removing blood stasis combined with conventional Western Medicine has obvious advantages in treating CHD angina pectoris with interaction of phlegm and blood stasis.MZXGD has great potential in increasing the overall response rate,reducing Duration of angina attack improving blood lipids,and reducing inflammatory factors.However,due to the limitations of extant studies,the conclusions of this study need to be confirmed by numerous reasonably-designed RCTs.

Pathological Mechanism of “Phlegm, Blood stasis, Toxin ”in a Rabbit Model of Carotid Atherosclerosis Based on Gut Microbiota-host Metabolism Interactions

Background:In Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)theory,"phlegm,blood stasis and toxin"are the pathogenesis of carotid atherosclerosis(CAS).The rabbit carotid atherosclerosis(CAS),which is induced by high-cholesterol diet combined with carotid artery balloon injury,is a classic model for studying CAS.Many studies indicate that gut microbiota and host metabolic disorders are involved in the pathogenesis of rabbit CAS.However,the TCM pathological features and syndromes of this classic rabbit CAS model have not been reported.Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of the rabbit CAS model and its TCM syndrome types from the perspective of"phlegm,blood stasis,and toxin".Methods:Twelve male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into NC group and CAS group according to their body weight,followed by feeding of basic feed and a 1%high cholesterol diet,respectively.After two weeks,the rabbits in the CAS group underwent common carotid artery(CCA)balloon injury,while the rabbits in the NC group underwent only CCA separation without balloon injury.The two groups received differential feed postoperatively for six more weeks,after which,changes in lipids,hemorheology,inflammation,oxidative stress,and CAS phenotypes were analyzed.In addition,the colon contents and serum were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing and ^(1)H-NMR metabonomic analysis.Results:The CAS rabbits were observed to form noticeable abnormalities in lipid metabolism and blood rhe-ology,a sharp increase in oxidative stress levels,excessive release of inflammatory factors and apparent CAS plaque formation.Furthermore,10 specific gut microbiota(such as Akkermansia muciniphila,Barnesiellaceae and Faecalibacterium)and 14 characteristic metabolites(such as trimethylamine oxide,acetic acid and L-carnitine)were identified in the CAS rabbits,which were significantly related to the CAS phenotypes.The pathway func-tion analysis showed that the gut microbiota and its metabolites mainly affected cholesterol metabolism,energy metabolism,inflammation and oxidative stress.Conclusion:The rabbit CAS model conforms to the“phlegm,blood stasis and toxin damage”theory.The gut microbiota and host metabolic disorders of the CAS rabbits interact and promote internal and external toxins,aggravating the progression of CAS.Our study provided experimental evidence for the application of this model in the TCM-based research of CAS.
