    AbstractTo explore the clinical efficacy and pharmacological mechanism analysis of Xubi capsule in the treatment of patients with liver and kidney deficiency osteoarthritis (OA). In this single-center retrospective study, 120 patients with liver and kidney deficiency OA admitted to the Hangzhou Fuyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to May 2022 were included, and patients were divided into the intervention group (n = 60) and the control group (n = 60) according to their treatment. The control group was treated with Ibuprofen, while the intervention group was treated with Xubi capsule combined with Ibuprofen. According to the network pharmacology method, the mechanism of the Xubi capsule in the treatment of patients with liver and kidney deficiency OA was analyzed. After the treatment, the total effective rate in the intervention group was 93.33%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < .001). After treatment, compared with the control group, the degree of joint swelling and tenderness in the intervention group were lighter, the muscle strength was better, the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate was lower, and the pain visual score was lower (P < .05), while the C-reactive protein level was significantly lower (P < .001). The effective chemical composition of Xubi capsules is 176, with quercetin and palmitoleic acid being the most associated with diseases. There are 209 intersection targets between drugs and diseases. A total of 119 gene ontology cellular components were significantly enriched. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine adopted in this study can effectively treat patients with liver and kidney deficiency OA and relieve the joint pain of patients. In a multicomponent and multitarget approach, the Xubi capsule breaks through the limitations of traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and has good clinical application value.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
