Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of modified Huqianwan in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome, and investigate its possible mechanism. Method: A total of 184 patients with RA liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into Chinese medicine group (62 cases), western medicine group (57 cases) and integrated Chinese and western medicine group (65 cases) according to the digital table method. The patients in Chinese medicine group were treated with Huqianwan; the patients in western medicine group were treated with methotrexate tablets and leflunomide tablets; and the patients in integrated Chinese and western medicine group received Huqianwan+methotrexate tablets and leflunomide tablets,with a treatment course of 12 weeks in all groups. The pain visual analog scale (VAS), swelling and tenderness scores of 28 joints (DAS28), average hands grip strength, morning stiffness time and liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score were compared between groups before and after treatment. The changes of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), immunoglobulin (Ig) G, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and rheumatoid factor (RF) were detected in all groups after treatment. Clinical efficacy, and incidence of adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal response, liver injury, leukopenia, serum glutamate oxaloacetic aminotransferase (GOT) and platelet (PLT) level changes were compared between the groups, so as to investigate the efficiency and safety of the different medicines. Result: After 12 weeks of treatment, the total clinical effective rate was 79.0%, 80.7%, and 92.3% respectively in Chinese medicine group, western medicine group, and integrated Chinese and western medicine group; the integrated Chinese and western medicine group was significantly better than the Chinese medicine group and western medicine group (PPPPConclusion: The efficacy in treating RA liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome shows no significant difference between modified Huqianwan and methotrexate tablets+leflunomide tablets. In the treatment of RA liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome, Huqianwan has fewer adverse reactions. Huqianwan combined with methotrexate tablets+leflunomide tablets is superior to that in methotrexate tablets+leflunomide tablets in treatment of RA liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome.
RESUMO
The fried method with suet oil,which can strengthen the effect of Epimedium in warming kidney and enhancing Yang,has been widely used in the processing of Epimedium in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the formation mechanism of Epimedium flavonoids self-assembled micelles in vivo,the synergistic mechanism of processing excipient suet oil was investigated in this paper from the perspective of pharmaceutics. Baohuoside Ⅰ,as representative component of processed Epimedium,was selected as model drug.Average size and zeta potential were measured and the morphology of micelles was observed under transmission electron microscopy. Caco-2 monolayer cell model,rat intestinal perfusion model and in vivo serum drug concentration method were established to investigate the effect of suet oil on the formation and absorption of the baohuosideⅠ bile salt self-assembled micelles. Baohuoside Ⅰ can form selfassembled micelles under the action of sodium deoxycholate. While,adding suet oil into the baohuoside Ⅰ-bile salt micelles( BSDOC) can make it form a more stable system with a smaller average size,higher Zeta potential,lower polydispersity index( PDI) value,significantly improved encapsulation efficiency and drug loading,indicating that suet oil could significantly improve the micelle formation in vivo. In addition,the permeability coefficient of baohuoside Ⅰ in Caco-2 monolayer cells and the four intestinal organs( duodenum,jejunum,ileum and colon) was increased and the oral bioavailability was also improved after adding the suet oil to BS-DOC.All the results demonstrated that the suet oil can promote the formation and absorption of baohuoside Ⅰ self-assembled micelles,so as to enhance its synergistic effects.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence and development of tumors is related to the body's Qi deficiency. " Invigorating Qi for consolidation of exterior" has became an effective way to treat tumors by traditional Chinese medicine. This study is based on the " invigorating Qi for consolidation of exterior" to explore the effect of flavonoid components in Qi-invigorating herbs Astragali Radix( AR) on the growth and immune function of mouse Lewis lung cancer xenografts,and further explore its mechanism of action. In the present study,high performance liquid chromatography was performed to analyze the flavonoid components in AR.The Lewis lung cancer model of C57 BL/6 mice was constructed,and the tumor volume of mice was determined by Visual Sonics Vevo2100 high frequency color ultrasound. The levels of IL~(-1)7 and RORγt in serum and tumor tissues were detected by ELISA and immunohistochemistry. The expression of IRE~(-1)/XBP~(-1) pathway-related proteins in tumor tissues was detected by Western blot. The results revealed that treatment of 5 and 10 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) of flavonoid components in AR significantly inhibited tumor growth of C57 BL/6 tumorbearing mice. The inhibition rates at the dose of 5 and 10 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) of flavonoid components in AR were( 29. 5±4. 4) % and( 43. 4±5. 2) %,respectively. The expression of IL~(-1)7 and RORγt in serum and tumor tissues of Lewis lung cancer mice were decreased,and the spleen index and thymus index were significantly enhanced by the flavonoid components in AR. Flavonoid components in AR could decrease the expression of X-box binding protein 1( XBP1),inositol-requiring enzyme( IRE1) and glucose regulated protein 78 k D( GRP78),and increase the expression of C/EBP homologous protein( CHOP),and the high-dose group is better,suggesting that the anti-lung cancer effect of flavonoid components in AR is related to the regulation of XBP1 mediated ERs. This study provides new evidence that the flavonoid components in AR could inhibit the tumor growth of C57 BL/6 tumor-bearing mice by regulating the body's immune function through " invigorating Qi for consolidation of exterior".
