Radix Saposhnikoviae enhancing Huangqi Chifeng Decoction improves lipid metabolism in AS mice

Jiaqi Fu, Yuqin Liang, Donghua Yu, Yu Wang, Fang Lu, Shumin Liu

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the role of Radix Saposhnikoviae (RS), which is designed as a guide drug for Huangqi Chifeng decoction (HQCF), in improving lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis (AS) patients. The results showed that HQCF can reduce atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta and lipid accumulation in the liver, potentially by activating the AMPK pathway to regulate lipid transport and metabolic function. These effects can be attributed to the guidance and synergism of RS.

Multi-target meridians classification based on the topological structure of anti-cancer phytochemicals using deep learning

Sheng Zhang, Xianwei Zhang, Jiayin Du, Wei Wang, Xitian Pi

Summary: The study aims to develop an AI framework to classify multi-target meridians through the topological structure of phytochemicals. A total of 354 anti-cancer herbs, their corresponding TCM meridians and 5471 ingredient compounds were collected for analysis. A deep learning hybrid model named GRMC consisting of graph convolutional network (GCN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) was employed to generate the meridian multi-label sequences based on molecular graph. The proposed method outperforms several comparison methods and provides a basis for understanding the molecular scientific evidence of TCM meridians.
