Analysis of Clinical Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Recovery Stage of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of bone and joint characterized by the damage of articular cartilage and hypertonia, which often occurs in the middle-aged and elderly. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy, including acupuncture (ACU), oral administration, and external use of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), can significantly improve the therapeutic effect on OA and reduce the occurrence of side effects. We provide a latest meta-analysis on the treatment of OA with TCM.

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Hippophae rhamnoides L. (sea buckthorn) is a type of traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of clinical application. It is used in the improvement and treatment of various diseases as medicine and food to strengthen the stomach and digestion, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. Emerging evidence has shown that H. rhamnoides polysaccharides (HRPs) are vital bioactive macromolecules responsible for its various health benefits. HRPs possess the huge potential to develop a drug improving or treating different diseases. In this review, we comprehensively and systematically summarize the recent information on extraction and purification methods, structural features, biological activities, structure-activity relationships, and potential industry applications of HRPs and further highlight the therapeutic potential and sanitarian functions of HRPs in the fields of therapeutic agents and functional food development. Additionally, this paper also lists a variety of biological activities of HRPs in vitro and in vivo roundly. Finally, this paper also discusses the structure-activity relationships and potential applications of HRPs. Overall, this work will help to have a better in-depth understanding of HRPs and provide a scientific basis and direct reference for more scientific and rational applications.

Valeriana jatamansi Jones, belongs to the Valerianaceae family, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine (TIM). This traditional herb has been officially listed in the pharmacopoeia of sixteen countries. Its usage was first described in Diannan Bencao, also known as "Zhizhuxiang", is a famous folk medicine herb with a long history of medicinal usage in China, and it was used to treat indigestion, flu, and mental disorders in the Han, Achang, Bai, Blang, Dai, Jingpo, Naxi, and Wa ethnic groups. In recent years, V. jatamansi has attracted worldwide attention as an important medicinal due to its pharmacological activity especially in nervous and digestive systems, and multiple uses.

Research progress in the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and quality control of Valeriana jatamansi Jones.

Amomum villosum Lour. is a widely esteemed species of medicinal plant on a global scale. Its medicinal properties have been documented as early as the Tang Dynasty, particularly the fruit, which holds significant medicinal and culinary value. This plant is extensively found in tropical and subtropical regions across Asia. It possesses the properties of warming the middle and dispelling cold, regulating Qi to invigorate the spleen, harmonizing the stomach to alleviate vomiting, and nourishing deficiencies. In recent years, A. villosum has garnered global attention for its remarkable biological activity. Currently, numerous bioactive compounds have been successfully isolated and identified, showcasing a diverse array of pharmacological activities and medicinal benefits.

Gracilaria/Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis is an ecologically and economically valuable seaweed that has attracted attention for its unique flavour and rich nutritional content. Studies have shown that G. lemaneiformis contains a variety of chemical components, among which G. lemaneiformis polysaccharides (GLPs) are the main active components. GLPs are a class of biomolecules with significant pharmacological activities, which exhibit a variety of bioactivities in vitro and in vivo, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, regulating lipid metabolism, anti-oxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-cancer activity. Despite the great potential value of GLPs, their current research and review are still relatively limited, which hinders their development and utilization to some extent. Therefore, this study aims to systematically summaries the latest information on GLPs, covering extraction and purification methods, structural characterization, biological activities and conformational relationships. In addition, the potential applications of GLPs and related bibliometrics will be analyzed to provide basic data and references for future studies. In conclusion, this study will contribute to an in-depth understanding of the properties of GLPs and provide a strong scientific basis and direct reference for their more scientific and rational applications.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert their pharmacological functions by serving as sponges for related microRNAs (miRNAs), thereby modulating gene expression. Nevertheless, the regulatory roles of the lncRNA-mediated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism in the interplay between burns and keloids remain largely elusive.

Reconstruction of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on competitive endogenous RNA reveals functional miRNAs and lncRNAs in burns and keloids.

Abelmoschus esculentus L. (okra), as a medicine-food homology plant, has a long history of both medicinal and dietary use. Okra is rich in different types of compounds, such as flavonoids, proteins, phenolic acids, vitamins, and polysaccharides. There is increasing evidence that okra polysaccharides (OPs) are one of the major bioactive macromolecules and exhibit diverse biological activities in vitro and in vivo, including immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities, etc. Although OPs exhibit highly promising potential, current research and review efforts remain limited, which hinders their comprehensive development and practical applications. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes recent advances in OPs research, including extraction and purification methods, structural characteristics, biological activities, structure-activity relationship, and potential applications, and further expounds the potential applications of OPs in various fields in combination with bibliometrics and related patents. Overall, this work will enhance the understanding of OPs and provide a scientific foundation as well as a practical reference for their more scientific and rational applications.
