Project description:MethodsFirstly, we used a network proximity approach to calculate and compare the effectiveness of the formula with that of Western drugs for each type of angina, including all targets and intersecting targets, from a topological perspective. Secondly, we compared the mechanisms of action of the two angina pectoris at three levels and five aspects, including conventional and modular analysis approaches. Thirdly, based on the unique functions of each angina in the complex heterogeneous network, we designed a reverse process for finding the material basis using dynamic, static, and enriched items as well as a total item. Finally, the designed inverse process, material basis, and mechanism of action were validated.ResultsThe target network of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction is closer to the target network of each type of angina than that of Western drugs, and the intersection targets have a closer proximity. Comparison of the mechanisms of action showed that stable angina and unstable angina had 158 common targets, while the unique targets were 34 and 1, respectively. Modularity analysis showed that the GO similarity of target modules was highly correlated with KEGG similarity. We ended up with 67 compounds upregulated for stable angina and 47 compounds upregulated for unstable angina. Our results were validated by literature mining, high-volume molecular docking, and miRNA enrichment analysis.ConclusionsFor both types of angina pectoris, Xuefu Zhuyu decoction is superior to Western drugs. A comparison of various aspects led to the unique mechanisms of action, from which the material basis of each type of angina was deduced.

Project description:BackgroundTo systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Salvianolate injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP).MethodsUsing literature databases, we conducted a thorough and systematic retrieval of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that using Salvianolate injection for treating UAP. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the RCTs, and then the data were extracted and meta-analyzed by RevMan5.2 software.ResultsA total of 22 RCTs with 2050 participants were included. The meta-analysis indicated that the combined use of Salvianolate injection and western medicine (WM) in the treatment of UAP can achieve a superior effect in angina pectoris total effective rate (risk ratio [RR] = 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.17, 1.27), Z = 10.15, P < 0.00001], and the total effectiveness rate of electrocardiogram [RR = 1.26, 95% CI (1.19,1.34), Z = 7.77, P < 0.00001]. In addition, Salvianolate injection can improve the nitroglycerin withdrawal rate and the serum level of NO, decrease high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or adverse drug events (ADEs) were reported in 6 RCTs involving 15 cases; however, there were no serious ADRs/ADEs.ConclusionBased on the systematic review, the combined use of Salvianolate injection and WM in the treatment of UAP can achieve a better effect; however, there was no definitive conclusion about its safety. More the large-sample and multicenter RCTs are needed to support its clinical usage.

Project description:PurposeAn increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity has been linked with metabolic syndrome (MetS), described as the secondary risk reduction target. These patients are predisposed to high complication levels such as unstable angina-pectoris (USAP) by MetS. As with the role of renalase in the regulation of blood pressure (BP), the study was carried out to determine the levels of renalase circulation in patients with USAP and MetS (USAP+MetS), as well as the association of renalase gene (RNLS) rs10887800 polymorphism and USAP and MetS susceptibility.Patients and methodsA total of 134 patients with USAP+MetS and 134 control subjects were recruited in this case-control study.ResultsRenalase was found to have a significantly higher level in USAP+MetS patients (23.28 ± 4.09 µg/dL) than in healthy ones (20.81 ± 2.73 µg/dL) (P < 0.001). Also, it was shown that renalase sensitivity and specificity values for the early diagnosis of USAP and MetS seemed to be 53.7% and 76.9, respectively. Moreover, the value for renalase area under curve (AUC) was 0.654 (95% CI: 0.58-0.72). The frequency of rs10887800 AG and GG genotypes of RNLS gene was significantly higher in USAP+MetS patients than in control subjects, suggesting that this genotype might be a risk factor against USAP+MetS (OR = 2.114 [95% CI 1.113-4.016]; P = 0.022) and (OR = 2.057 [95% CI 1.011-4.186]; P = 0.047), respectively.ConclusionThe present results showed that renalase serum levels increased in USAP and MetS patients. Moreover, the RNLS rs10887800 was reported to be associated with a higher risk of USAP+MetS.

Project description:Objective: Dazhu hongjingtian [DZHJT, Rhodiola wallichiana var. cholaensis (Praeger) S.H. Fu] preparation as an add-on therapy has been applied to the treatment of angina pectoris. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DZHJT as adjuvant therapy for the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Methods: An extensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Emase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, CNKI, and VIP databases from inception to January 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DZHJT in combination with Western medicine with Western medicine alone were included. Two authors independently performed the literature search, data extraction and risk of bias assessment of included studies, and conducted the statistical analysis. Results: A total of 18 RCTs involving 1,679 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Adjuvant treatment with DZHJT significantly decreased ≥80% reduction in the frequency of angina attacks [risk ratio (RR) 1.57; 95% CI 1.36-1.81], weekly frequency of angina attacks [mean difference (MD) -1.03 times; 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.51 to -0.55], marked improved abnormal electrocardiogram (RR 1.46; 95% CI 1.23-1.74). In addition, DZHJT significantly reduced the whole-blood viscosity (MD -0.70 mPa.s; 95% CI -0.84 to -0.55), plasma viscosity (MD -0.28 mPa.s; 95% CI -0.38 to -0.19), serum level of fibrinogen (MD -0.67 g/L; 95% CI -0.79 to -0.54), thromboxanes B2 (MD -14.01 ng/L; 95% CI -20.86 to -7.15), and C-reactive protein (MD -1.48 mg/L; 95% CI -2.72 to -0.25). No significant differences in headache/dizziness (RR 0.72; 95% CI 0.31-1.67) were observed between two groups. Conclusion: Adjuvant treatment with DZHJT has an add-on effect in reducing angina pectoris attacks in patients with UAP. The beneficial effect may be correlated with regulating whole-blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, thromboxanes B2, and CRP level. However, future well-designed prospective, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trials with large sample sizes are required to evaluate the evidence.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important types of noncoding RNAs, and there is a lack of holistic and systematic understanding of the functions they play in disease. We proposed a research strategy, including two parts network analysis and network modelling, to analyze, model, and predict the regulatory network of miRNAs from a network perspective, using unstable angina pectoris as an example. In the network analysis section, we proposed the WGCNA & SimCluster method using both correlation and similarity to find hub miRNAs, and validation on two datasets showed better results than the methods using correlation or similarity alone. In the network modelling section, we used six knowledge graph or graph neural network models for link prediction of three types of edges and multilabel classification of two types of nodes. Comparative experiments showed that the RotatE model was a good model for link prediction, while the RGCN model was the best model for multilabel classification. Potential target genes were predicted for hub miRNAs and validation of hub miRNA-target gene interactions, target genes as biomarkers and target gene functions were performed using a three-step validation approach. In conclusion, our study provides a new strategy to analyze and model miRNA regulatory networks.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Dazhu Hongjingtian (DZHJT), also named Herba Rhodiolae, has been frequently introduced for patients with angina pectoris in China. However, the add-on effect of DZHJT in unstable angina pectoris (UAP) has not been systematically evaluated. The purpose of this protocol is to provide the methods used to assess the efficacy and safety of DZHJT as adjuvant therapy for management of UAP. METHODS:We will extensively search for eligible studies in PubMed, Emase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP databases up to October 2018. Only randomized controlled trials comparing DZHJT in combination with Western medicine vs Western medicine alone were selected.The primary outcomes are above 50% reduction in frequency of angina attacks and weekly frequency of angina attacks reduction. The secondary outcomes are the blood rheology parameters (whole-blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and fibrinogen) and adverse events. We will use RevMan V.5.0 software to perform meta-analysis. RESULTS:The pooled results will provide a high-quality of evidence of DZHJT as adjuvant therapy in patients with UAP. CONCLUSION:This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide up-to-date evidence to evaluate DZHJT as adjuvant therapy in patients with UAP. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER:PROSPERO CRD42018111885.

Project description:(1) Background: We aimed to analyze the oxidative status of patients with unstable angina pectoris (UA), as well as to determine the correlation of these parameters between coronary arterial and peripheral venous blood samples. (2) Methods: The study included 47 human subjects with UA and 45 control subjects. We performed clinical examinations, hemodynamic and coronary angiography measures. Also, in the blood samples, we measured routine laboratory markers and the concentration of pro-oxidants: index of lipid peroxidation (TBARS), superoxide anion radical (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrites (NO2-), while antioxidant parameters were determined from red blood cells: reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). All parameters were determined spectrophotometrically. (3) Results: Significantly higher values of TBARS and all measured antioxidants SOD, CAT and GSH were observed in the coronary arterial blood of the UA group relative to coronary arterial blood of the control subjects. On the other hand, in the peripheral venous blood samples, a significantly lower GSH value was found in the UA group compared to the control. (4) Conclusions: This study has shown that the majority of changes in all measured redox markers are found in coronary blood, especially related to the activity of antioxidant components. In patients with an unstable form of angina, prooxidants (superoxide anion radical and index of lipid peroxidation) and endogenous antioxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione) are in direct correlation with the course of ischemic disease. Future studies, where participants would be randomized depending on symptom duration, are necessary to confirm these conclusions.

Project description:BackgroundAs adjunctive therapy, puerarin injection has been widely applied for the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP) in China during the past decades. However, the efficacy of puerarin injection as adjunctive therapy for UAP has not been well confirmed. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the available evidence to estimate the efficacy of puerarin injection in treating UAP.ObjectiveA systematic review and meta-analysis with subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) principle were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of puerarin injection as adjunctive therapy in treating UAP.MethodsTo obtain the published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on puerarin injection, databases, namely, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Sino-Med, PubMed, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Medline, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Chinese Science Citation Database, and Embase were systematically searched until June 2021. In this meta-analysis, Review Manager version 5.3 software and Stata version 12.0 software were employed to analyze the collected data. Based on the methodological quality, years of publications, sample size and dosages, sensitivity analysis, and subgroup analysis were performed. The GRADE assessment was conducted by the software GRADEpro version 3.6 software.ResultsA total of 17 RCTs involving 1,459 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Results indicated that puerarin injection as adjunctive therapy was more superior than conventional Western medicine alone in reducing angina symptoms [risk ratio (RR) = 1.22, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.28, Z = 8.11, p < 0.00001] and improving ECG (RR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.44, Z = 6.00, p < 0.00001), meanwhile reducing the frequency of angina attack [mean difference (MD) = -2.22, 95% CI -2.53 to -1.90, Z = 13.97, p < 0.00001] and the duration of angina attack (MD = -2.00, 95% CI -2.39 to -1.61, Z = 9.99, p < 0.00001) for the treatment of UAP. Results from the GRADE assessment suggested that the comprehensive quality of this evidence was low.ConclusionThis meta-analysis indicated that puerarin injection was more effective than using conventional Western medicine alone in the treatment of UAP. However, because of the low methodological quality of the included RCTs, more evidence was still needed to verify the efficacy of puerarin injection.
