A total of 150 patients with kidney stones undergoing extracorporeal shock wave surgery were randomly divided into research group and control group with 75 subjects in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with routine methods such as anti-infection, pain relief and hemostasis after operation, while the research group was treated with diuretic and stone-dispelling mixture on the basis of the control group. The medication cycle is 7 d. The treatment effects, symptom scores, average time for residual stone removal, renal function-related indicators, urine N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin, cystatin C levels, inflammatory factor levels and the proportion of analgesic drugs were compared between the two groups. The drug effect of the study group was better than that of the control group (p<0.05), the symptom score, average time of residual stone excretion, levels of renal function indicators, blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the study group were lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). The levels of urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin and cystatin C in the study group were better than those in the control group (p<0.05). The indicators of inflammatory factors and usage rate of analgesic drugs in the study group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). Diuretic and stone removal mixture can significantly improve the postoperative effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, shorten the time of stone removal, increase the levels of renal function, urinary N-acetyl-beta-dglucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin, cystatin C, etc., improve the level of inflammatory factors and reduce the usage rate of analgesic drugs.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135595963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No western drugs have been approved for the treatment of vascular dementia. Oral Chinese drugs are commonly employed for vascular dementia in China. The purpose of this scope review is to review the recent evidence from clinical trials regarding the benefits of traditional oral Chinese medicines and to outline their effects on vascular dementia. Seventeen Chinese herbal medicines used in vascular dementia were systematically searched from 7 databases, such as EMBASE, Cochrane, PubMed, China Sci-Tech journal database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Database as well as Wanfang database. Data were obtained from guidelines, consensus, meta-analyses and systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials. A revised Cochrane Risk Assessment Instrument was applied to evaluate the risk of bias with respect to the intention-to-treat effect on eligible randomized controlled trials. Microsoft Excel 2019, GraphPad Prism and RSTUDIO statistics were employed for data integration and process. As the data show, the number of research published increased between 2009 and 2014, while the most studied medicines were TianZhi, Ginkgo biloba leaf and NaoXinTong. A low overall bias risk of intention-to-treat was achieved in only 7 trials. More consistent benefits were observed with Ginkgo biloba leaf and TianZhi for amelioration of mini-mental state examination score deficits and activities of daily living impairments. The overall reporting quality of randomized controlled trials of traditional oral Chinese medicines for vascular dementia was poor and the transparency of these randomized controlled trials must be urgently improved. Oral Chinese drugs may be beneficial to patients with vascular dementia, but they need to be further assessed.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135361116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we explored the primary molecular mechanism of puerarin in diabetic osteoporosis treatment. We used traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform, PubChem, web-based gene set analysis toolkit, cytoscape and so on to screen the drug targets of puerarin and the disease targets of diabetic osteoporosis. We analyzed the puerarin mechanism based on the protein-protein interaction co-expression network, gene ontology, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment, etc., and molecular docking by AutoDock. The main enriched signaling pathways in the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes were non-small cell lung cancer, endocrine resistance and so on. The main enriched biological processes were positive regulation of cell migration, cytokine-mediated signaling pathway and so on. The main enriched cell components of the cellular component were the integrin complex, platelet alpha granule membrane and so on. The main cellular functions of the molecular function were C-X3-C chemokine binding, nitric oxide synthase regulator activity and so on. The tumor necrosis factor, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 with puerarin docking binding energy were all less than -5 kcal/mol-1. In conclusion puerarin may act through multiple targets and some pathways in diabetic osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135361899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machilus bombycina (som), Litsea polyantha (sualu), Litsea salicifolia (dighloti) and Litsea citrata (mejankari). The methanolic extracts of leaves of these plants were screened for their phytochemical analysis and free radical scavenging activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl as the free radical. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, saponins, coumarins, terpenoids, tanins, cardiac glucosides and xanthoproteins in the said plants. The results of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity revealed Litsea polyantha to exhibit stronger antioxidant efficiency compared to the rest. Besides these, the plant extracts were investigated for their antibacterial assessment against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus suis and Gram-negative Pasteurella multocida and Escherichia coli bacteria found in pig. All the plant extracts were validated to possess antibacterial activity with variable potency. Litsea citrata was the most effective extract retarding microbial growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, followed by Litsea salicifolia , Litsea polyantha and Machilus bombycina . The present findings underscore the fact that indigenous food plants of muga silkworm are fortified with antioxidant and antibacterial efficiency, which might pave to the development of novel herbal pharmacological compounds for the medication of pig diseases.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70214795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
