A comparative study of Danhong injection and Salvia miltiorrhiza injection in the treatment of cerebral infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate systematically the clinical effectiveness and safety of Danhong injection (DI) and Salvia miltiorrhiza injection (SMI) in the treatment of cerebral infarction.A literature search was conducted for retrieving randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on cerebral infarction treated by Danhong injection and SMI in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Database up to January 22, 2017. Two reviewers extracted information and independently assessed the quality of included RCTs by the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool; then data were analyzed with Review Manager 5.3 software.Twelve RCTs involving 1044 patients were included. The result of DI group was about 27% superior to SMI group in the clinical total effective rate (relative risk 1.27, 95% confidence interval 1.19-1.35, P?

Project description:BackgroundIn China, Salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine (SML) injection are widely used as adjunctive therapy for patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, different studies have reported conflicting results. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis are necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of SML injection for the treatment of DKD.MethodsWe searched 6 electronic literature databases comparing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), SML injection in combination with ACEIs/ARBs that were conducted from inception until September 5, 2023. Two reviewers extracted data and independently assessed the risk of bias. Using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Risk Assessment. Mean differences (MD) were combined with random-effects models and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis. Stata 17.0 software was used for sensitivity analysis and Egger test.ResultsThe combined results show that the use of SML injection along with ACEI/ARB led to better outcomes than the use of controls in terms of enhancing recovery: renal function: Serum creatinine (MD = -14.69, 95% CI (-19.38, -10.00)), Blood urea nitrogen (MD = -1.23, 95% CI (-1.72, -0.74)), Urinary β2-microglobulin (MD = -4.58, 95% CI (-7.72, -1.44)); urinary protein: Urinary albumin excretion rate (MD = -45.74, 95% CI (-58.92, -32.56)), Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (MD = -11.93, 95% CI (-13.89, -9.96)), 24-h urine proteinuria (MD = -0.59, 95% CI (-0.86, -0.32)), Urine microalbumin (MD = -13.50, 95% CI (-20.18, -6.83)). Additionally, adjuvant therapy with SML injection enhanced results in blood glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and inflammatory responses, and no significant variations in adverse events were discovered between the 2 groups.ConclusionsIn patients with DKD, combining SML injection with ACEI/ARB improves renal function, renal proteinuria, hyperglycemia, blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and inflammatory response.

Project description:Background: Ligustrazine injection has been widely used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) during the past decades in China, but its clinical efficacy is not yet well confirmed. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ligustrazine injection as adjunctive therapy for ACI. Methods: Databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, Embase, Sino-Med, Wanfang Database, and Chinese Science Citation Database were systematically searched for the published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ligustrazine injection in the treatment of ACI until November 2020. Meta-analysis was performed on the primary outcome measure (i.e., clinical effective rate) and the secondary outcome measure [i.e., neurological deficit score (NDS), fibrinogen, low shear blood viscosity (LBV), and high shear blood viscosity (HBV)]. The quality of the included RCTs was assessed according to the M scoring system (the refined Jadad scale). Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted according to the methodological quality, years of publication, and sample size. Results: Nineteen RCTs, containing 2022 patients, were included in this study. Meta-analysis indicated that ligustrazine injection combined with Western medicine could achieve a better effect in the treatment of ACI than using Western medicine alone in terms of clinical effective rate (RR = 1.24; 95% CI, 1.19-1.29), NDS (MD = -3.88; 95%CI, -4.51 to -3.61), fibrinogen (MD = -0.59; 95% CI, -0.76 to -0.42), LBV (MD = -2.11; 95% CI, -3.16 to -1.06), and HBV (MD = -0.88; 95% CI, -1.20 to -0.55). Conclusions: This research indicated that ligustrazine injection as adjunctive therapy seemed to be more effective than using western medicine alone in treating ACI. However, more evidence is required to confirm the efficacy of ligustrazine injection due to the low methodological quality of the included RCTs.

Project description:ObjectiveThis meta-analysis evaluated the effects and potential harms of Salvia miltiorrhiza or its extracts Salvianolate and Tanshinone for the treatment of population with a chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsWe searched for the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) through databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Current Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang Data), China Biology Medicine Disc (SinoMed), and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR). Meta-analysis was performed with STATA 16 software after data extraction. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2.0), and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was employed to evaluate the quality of evidence.ResultA total of 32 studies were included involving 2264 participants. Compared to the control group, the treatment group significantly decreased serum creatinine (SCr) (SMD -0.60, 95% CI -0.79 to -0.41, P < 0.0001), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (SMD -0.66, 95% CI -0.81 to -0.50, P < 0.0001), Cystatin C (CysC) (SMD -5.16, 95% CI -14.84 to 4.53, P=0.297), 24 hour urine protein (24 h UPE) (SMD -0.70, 95% CI -1.21 to -0.19, P=0.008), time to initiation of dialysis (Log RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.81, P=0.0089), serum total cholesterol (TC) (SMD -0.53, 95% CI -0.88 to -0.17, P=0.0042, P=0.0035), plasma fibrinogen (FIB) (SMD -0.79, 95% CI -1.12 to -0.46, P < 0.0001), C-reactive protein (CRP) (SMD -0.56, 95% CI -0.93 to -0.19, P=0.0029); increased creatinine clearance (Ccr) (SMD 0.92, 95% CI 0.43 to 1.41, P=0.0002), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (SMD 0.56, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.83, P < 0.001), effective rate (Log RR 0.30, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.37, P < 0.0001), and hemoglobin (Hb) (SMD 0.42, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.71, P=0.0042). Moreover, the incidences of adverse effects were similar between the two groups.ConclusionsSalvia miltiorrhiza or its extracts Salvianolate and Tanshinone, as a complementary therapy to conventional medicine, presents potential impacts to improve kidney functions and delay the progression of CKD without obvious adverse effects. However, the certainty of the evidence and the risk of bias are suboptimal and further clinical studies are still required to determine the underlying effects.
