[Pharmacodynamic substances and mechanism of action of Xiaoer Chiqiao Qingre Granules in treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infection in children].

This study aimed to forecast the main active components of Xiaoer Chiqiao Qingre Granules(XECQ) in the treatment of children with acute upper respiratory tract infection by UPLC-MS, network pharmacology, molecular docking and cell biology, and explore the mechanism of action, so as to provide certain reference for the research on its pharmacodynamics substances and mechanism of action. The main chemical components of XECQ were comprehensively analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS combined with UNIFI platform. According to the MS1 and MS2 data of XECQ, comparison and identification were carried out in combination with reference substances and reference articles. On this basis, the chemical components of XECQ were targeted and enriched by network pharmacology, to screen the main pharmacodynamic substances of XECQ in the treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infection in children and discuss the mechanism of action. In addition, the binding degree of core targets and main active components was verified by molecular docking. The results revealed that 202 compounds were identified from XECQ, among which 22 were the main active components, including obovatol, dihydroartemisinin, and longikaurin A. Enrichment analysis of the key target pathways showed that XECQ played its role in the treatment of children with acute upper respiratory tract infection mainly by regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. In the experimental verification by Western Blot(WB), it was found that XECQ significantly inhibited the expression of PI3K and Akt, which was consistent with the prediction results of network pharmacology. In conclusion, the potential pharmacodynamic substances of XECQ were obovatol, dihydroartemisinin, longikaurin A and other 19 active components. It treated children with acute upper respiratory tract infection by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

[Twenty years in the 21st century: temporal and spatial evolution of Chinese medicinal processing equipment].

Against the backdrop of "Internet+" and Made in China 2025, Chinese medicinal processing equipment embraces various opportunities and develops to an unprecedented level. In the 20 years of the new century, the processing equipment has gradually developed in the direction of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, integration, and automation, and this field has tended to highlight the establishment and application of the linkage production line for the processing of Chinese medicinal decoction pieces. Integrating automation control technology, online detection technique, and the internet of things technology, the online detection system of Chinese medicinal processing equipment and the computer information management system of Chinese medicinal proces-sing are the mainstream development trends of Chinese medicinal processing equipment. Standard Chinese medicine processing equipment is the prerequisite for the standardization of processing parameters. A standard system for processing equipment and processing parameters is the key to the modernization of Chinese medicinal decoction pieces. This paper summarized the research and application of Chinese medicinal processing equipment in the 20 years of the 21 st century and predicted the development trend, which is expected to serve as a reference for the technological innovation and development of the processing equipment.
