RÉSUMÉ
Objective To summarize the core prescription for treating metabolic syndrome by academician TONG Xiaolin and explore the intervention mechanism.Methods Outpatient medical records of TONG Xiaolin's treatment for metabolic syndrome were input into the Ancient and Modern Medical Records Cloud Platform for data mining,then the core prescription was extracted.The effective components and therapeutic targets of the core prescription,and metabolic syndrome-related genes were obtained from relevant databases.The core targets were screened out by protein-protein interaction network.The network of core prescription-core compound-core target was constructed.Pathway enrichment analyses were carried out based on the core targets.Results A total of 1 028 records were enrolled and analyzed.The core prescription consists of 10 Chinese medicinals,such as Coptidis Rhizoma,Anemarrhenae Rhizoma,Paeoniae Radix Rubra,etc..The prescription was modified with three-herb formulas,which was composed of Fritillariae Thunbrgii Bulbus,Curcumae Rhizoma and Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma.A total of 151 active compounds and 64 potential targets for metabolic syndrome of the core prescription were obtained.The core compounds included isorhamnetin,calycosin,berberine and monacolin K.The core targets were MAPK3,MAPK8,and LDLR.The PI3K-Akt,AGE-RAGE and MAPK signaling pathways were involved.Conclusion The core prescription of academician TONG Xiaolin's treatment for metabolic syndrome was composed of Coptidis Rhizoma,Anemarrhenae Rhizoma.The prescription was modified according to symptoms in the form of three-herb formulas.The core prescription may exert its effect by regulating PI3K-Akt,AGE-RAGE,MAPK and other signaling pathways,which could reflect the characteristics of Chinese herbal compound,such as multi-component,multi-target,multi-pathway,and comprehensive regulation.
