Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Chinese medicine - Yiqilishui formula works to treat sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). It will also learn about the safety of Yiqilishui formula. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Compared with conventional western traetment alone, can supplementing conventional Western treatment with Yiqilishui formula better improve the heart function and reduce mortality of participants with SIMD? * What medical problems do participants have when taking Yiqilishui formula? Researchers will compare Yiqilishui formula to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Yiqilishui formula works to treat SIMD. Participants will: * Take Yiqilishui formula granules or placebo twice daily for 7 days, while receiving standard conventional Western treatment. * Undergo blood drawing, electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiography at enrollment, on the 3rd day, the 7th day, and the 14th day after enrollment.

The incidence of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) increases with age, affecting approximately 5% of individuals over 50 years old and nearly all individuals over 90 years old. CSVD is also the most important vascular factor contributing to cognitive decline, with 45% of dementia patients attributed to CSVD. Existing interventions are similar to secondary prevention strategies for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and no specific therapies are currently available. CSVD-related cognitive impairment (CSVDCI) predominantly involves attention, processing speed, and executive functions, with relatively preserved memory function, and may be accompanied by non-cognitive clinical manifestations such as gait disturbances, emotional and behavioral disorders, and bladder dysfunction. Although CSVDCI can be classified under vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), there are certain differences in its clinical manifestations. In summary, it is necessary to develop more targeted treatments for CSVD. We attempt to establish a "symptom-tongue coating-gut microbiota-imaging" system to provide data support for the subsequent exploration of CSVD treatments based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common age-related microvascular disease related to the slow accumulation of damage to small arteries, veins, and capillaries. Hypertension is a risk factor for cerebrovascular disease, and its damage to the vascular endothelium is one of the key contributing factors to the pathogenesis of CSVD. CSVD has an insidious onset, and patients may exhibit no clinical symptoms in the early stage. Common clinical manifestations of chronic CSVD include vascular dementia, depression, gait disturbance, and abnormalities in swallowing and urinary functions. There is currently no specific treatment for CSVD. Existing studies have shown that Songling Xuemaikang capsule (SXC) combined with antihypertensive drugs exerted significant effects on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), 24-hour SBP, and 24-hour DBP, while also improving symptoms of hypertension. Animal experiments have demonstrated that SXC can reduce apoptosis and alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, exerting neuroprotective effects. Additionally, a previously completed multicenter, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority-designed clinical trial by the team, conducted in patients with primary hypertension, showed that SXC were non-inferior to losartan potassium in reducing diastolic blood pressure. Therefore, exploring the therapeutic potential of SXC in CSVD is highly necessary. This project is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter clinical study to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of SXC in the treatment of hypertension with CSVD. A total of 90 subjects who met the subject screening criteria are planned to be enrolled, with 45 patients in the test group and 45 patients in the placebo group.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of Qingre Huatan formula versus placebo on preventing early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours after onset.

This is a Ⅱa clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to preliminarily explore the optimal dosage of Xinglou Chengqi Granules in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xinglou Chengqi Granules for acute ischemic stroke.

This study is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Sepsis cardiac insufficiency is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown an association between elevated PLA levels in patients with sepsis and clinical outcomes of cardiac dysfunction. This study will explore the correlation between circulating PLA levels and organ dysfunction and disease severity in SIMD patients in the form of a cross-sectional study.

The molecular characteristics of ischemic stroke with phlegm-heat syndrome and candidate biomarkers were identified based on multi-omics data. The main purpose of this study is to validate the molecular characteristics and biomarkers of phlegm-heat syndrome in ischemic stroke, and to demonstrate the association of biomarkers with clinical outcomes.
