Abstract:

Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for the prevention, treatment, and cure of diseases for thousands of years. Herbal medicine involves the use of natural compounds, which have relatively complex active ingredients with varying degrees of side effects. Some of these herbal medicines are known to cause nephrotoxicity, which can be overlooked by physicians and patients due to the belief that herbal medications are innocuous. Some of the nephrotoxic components from herbs are aristolochic acids and other plant alkaloids. In addition, anthraquinones, flavonoids, and glycosides from herbs also are known to cause kidney toxicity. The kidney manifestations of nephrotoxicity associated with herbal medicine include acute kidney injury, CKD, nephrolithiasis, rhabdomyolysis, Fanconi syndrome, and urothelial carcinoma. Several factors contribute to the nephrotoxicity of herbal medicines, including the intrinsic toxicity of herbs, incorrect processing or storage, adulteration, contamination by heavy metals, incorrect dosing, and interactions between herbal medicines and medications. The exact incidence of kidney injury due to nephrotoxic herbal medicine is not known. However, clinicians should consider herbal medicine use in patients with unexplained AKI or progressive CKD. In addition, exposure to herbal medicine containing aristolochic acid may increase risk for future uroepithelial cancers, and patients require appropriate postexposure screening.

Abstract:

Chinese herbal medicine has recently gained worldwide attention. The curative mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine is compared with that of western medicine at the molecular level. The treatment mechanism of most Chinese herbal medicines is still not clear. How do we integrate Chinese herbal medicine compounds with modern medicine? Chinese herbal medicine drug-like prediction method is particularly important. A growing number of Chinese herbal source compounds are now widely used as drug-like compound candidates. An important way for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs is to discover potentially active compounds from related herbs in Chinese herbs. The methods for predicting the drug-like properties of Chinese herbal compounds include the virtual screening method, pharmacophore model method and machine learning method. In this paper, we focus on the prediction methods for the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicines. We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the above three methods, and then introduce the specific steps of the virtual screening method. Finally, we present the prospect of the joint application of various methods.

Abstract:

The identification of Chinese herbal medicines is a key issue in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the characteristics of Chinese herbal medicines, the classification of types, producing areas, and quality can be realized. However, traditional identification methods of Chinese herbal medicines mainly rely on manual identification methods, which requires a lot for identification personnel with low efficiency. To solve this problem, we study the intelligent method of identification of Chinese herbal medicines by using data of infrared spectroscopy characteristic. To solve this problem, this paper studies the classification of spectral characteristic data of Chinese herbal medicines from unsupervised and supervised learning. Firstly, an improved K-means clustering algorithm based on Gaussian distribution model is established for unsupervised spectral classification of Chinese herbal medicines. This method “over-classifies” the sample data by K-means clustering algorithm, and further classifies the data by Gaussian mixture model, thus realizing unsupervised classification of Chinese herbal medicines. Secondly, aiming at the supervised classification and recognition of Chinese herbal medicines, an improved discriminant analysis classification method based on Gaussian distribution is established to identify different kinds and producing areas of Chinese herbal medicines. Finally, we test our method on two sets of data with and without tagged information, with Chinese herbal medicines in two data sets identified respectively. The experimental results fully verify the effectiveness of the method, especially in the supervised identification of Chinese herbal medicines. We have proved the effectiveness of our designed model through the comparison of various methods and extensive tests.

Abstract:

(1) Background: Japanese Kampo medicine has its origin in ancient Chinese medicine. In 742, a Tang Dynasty monk named Jianzhen (Ganjin) was invited by Japanese clerics to visit Japan and teach commandments in Buddhism. Because of the dangers of the voyage and also other obstacles, he took 11 years to reach Japan on the sixth voyage and he was blind when he arrived in Japan. He was the first person in China to go to Japan to establish the Buddhism commandments, and he was also the first person in Japan to directly teach traditional Chinese medicine. Until now, there have been few reports in English about the details of the Chinese herbal medicines he brought to Japan, including the types of herbal medicines, pharmacological activities, and formulations. In the review, we systematically and comprehensively summarized Jianzhen’s life from the standpoint of his medical and pharmaceutical knowledge and the types and pharmacological activities of Chinese herbal medicines and prescriptions that were brought to Japan by Jianzhen; (2) Methods: A review was made on the relevant literature written by Chinese, Japanese, and English languages regarding the medical and pharmacological knowledge of Jianzhen, the 36 Chinese herbal medicines brought to Japan by Jianzhen, and the pharmacological and therapeutic effects of these 36 herbal medicines, as well as their formulations; (3) Results: The review of the literature proved that Jianzhen’s prescriptions served as a basis for current herbal medicines (Kampo) in Japan. In the process of the literature search, we found a book entitled Jianshangren (Holy Priest Jianzhen)’s Secret Prescription, which recorded the complete prescription of the 36 traditional Chinese medicines Jianzhen brought to Japan; (4) Conclusions: Jianzhen is one of the ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine/Kampo medicine, and he brought traditional Chinese medicine and medical books to Japan for patients. He made important contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine in Japan.

Abstract:

Diabetes affects 422 million people and directly caused 4.9 million deaths according to the global report on diabetes in 2014. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90% of people with diabetes around the world. Chinese herbal medicine treatment for diabetes has more than 2000-year history in China. An increasing number of people around the world are trying to manage type 2 diabetes with Chinese herbal medicine. However, there is a lack of evidence to decide if Chinese herbal medicine is effective and safe when compared with other interventions for the treatment of type 2 diabetes We identified 58 randomized controlled trials involving 6637 participants with type 2 diabetes with trial periods lasting from 8 weeks to 1 year (average 12 weeks). We extracted data following a predefined hierarchy. A total of 132 different Chinese herbal medicines were examined. We included studies comparing Chinese herbal medicine with other interventions and excluded trials that did not satisfy the inclusion criteria. We evaluated primary outcomes of trials in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Intervention. Fifty-six out of 58 studies reported evidence that Chinese herbal medicines were effective at controlling blood sugar, insulin resistance, and traditional Chinese medicine clinical symptoms for patients with type 2 diabetes. And outcome variables are summarized. However, the evidence is limited because of the quality of the studies. Well-designed long-term studies with large samples and multiple centers as well as standardization and quality control will be required to determine if Chinese herbal medicine treatment is effective and safe for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract:

There are several kinds of Chinese herbal medicines originating from diverse sources. However, the rapid taxonomic identification of large quantities of Chinese herbal medicines is difficult using traditional methods, and the process of identification itself is prone to error. Therefore, the traditional methods of Chinese herbal medicine identification must meet higher standards of accuracy. With the rapid development of bioinformatics, methods relying on bioinformatics strategies offer advantages with respect to the speed and accuracy of the identification of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients. This article reviews the applicability and limitations of biochip and DNA barcoding technology in the identification of Chinese herbal medicines. Furthermore, the future development of the two technologies of interest is discussed.

Abstract:

The sol-gel method was used to make nano-TiO2 and five Chinese herbal medicines of Sophora flavescens Alt., Hypericum perforatum L., Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss., Kochia scoparia (L.), and Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim. to prepare five kinds of nano-TiO2-Chinese herbal medicine composite anti-degradative wood. Populus tomentosa Carr was chosen as the wood sample. Indoor decay resistance test results showed that the resistance to weight gain and decay of nano-TiO2-Chinese herbal medicine composite anti-degradative wood noticeably increased compared with either Chinese herbal medicine modified wood or nano-TiO2 modified wood, reaching a strong decay resistance level. The results of the anti-loss test showed that the magnitude of loss of wood samples treated with nano-TiO2 and Chinese herbal medicine was noticeably reduced compared with that with just Chinese herbal medicine. It was found by scanning electron microscopy that the nano-TiO2 particles and the Chinese herbal medicine enter the wood cell cavity, and the wood vessels and pits were the main permeation channels. Fourier transform infrared analysis results showed that nano-TiO2 could not only enter the wood interior, and associate with wood components through physical adsorption to form hydrogen bonds, but also through the carboxyl groups in cellulose and hemicellulose, or the phenolic hydroxyl group in lignin, forming a coordinated chemical bond to fix it in the wood component.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to access the effects of chinese herbal medicines on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We use dystrophin-deficient mice (mdx), an animal model of DMD, to evaluate the effect of chinese herbal medicines on locomotor activity. The consumption of water for each mouse was controlled during the three-month experimental session. Each mouse was allowed to drink 3 ml water with or without herbal medicines daily for three months. The estimated intake of chinese herbal medicine in adult mdx mouse with 30 g weight is 100 mg/kg per day, close to a dose used in human. The locomotor activity of the mdx mice was measured every month. Monitoring the locomotor activity of mdx mice after three-month administration of chinese herbal medicines, the results showed that Liu-Wei-Di-Huang-Wan (LDW) and San-Lin-Pai-Tsu-San (SPS) can facilitate locomotor activity with the parameters of horizontal activity, total distance, number of movements, movement time, vertical activity, number of vertical movements, vertical movement time, stereotypy, number of stereotyped movements, and stereotyped movement time. These results suggest that either LDW or SPS can act as a potent herbal medicine for the pharmacological treatment of DMD patients.

Abstract:

Aim of the Study: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Chinese herbal medicine is beneficial for survival improvement in patients with multiple myeloma. Materials and Methods: We performed a 1:1 propensity score–matched cohort study to analyze patients with multiple myeloma diagnosed between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2012, through the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients who received Chinese herbal medicine therapy from the initial date of diagnosis of multiple myeloma to December 31, 2012, were included in the Chinese herbal medicine group. Patients who were not treated with Chinese herbal medicine during the same interval were categorized in the non-Chinese herbal medicine group. A Cox regression model was used to adjust for sex, age, comorbidities, and drug use. Hazard ratios were also compared between the 2 groups. Results: A total of 312 patients were identified after 1:1 propensity score matching. The patients had similar basic characteristics. A better survival status was found in the Chinese herbal medicine cohort (log-rank test, P < .0001). Finally, 49 patients in the Chinese herbal medicine cohort and 96 patients in the non-Chinese herbal medicine cohort died (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.35, 95% confidence interval = 0.24-0.51). The effect of survival improvement from Chinese herbal medicine in patients with multiple myeloma could be observed when prescriptions had the duration of ≥30 days. Conclusions: Our results showed that patients with multiple myeloma could benefit from Chinese herbal medicine treatment, which could improve the survival rate in Taiwan. The findings offer important ideas for further study.

Abstract:

In this work, an improved Apriori algorithm is proposed. The main goal is to improve the processing efficiency of the algorithm, and the idea and process of the Apriori algorithm are optimized. The proposed method is compared with the classical association rule algorithm to verify its effectiveness. Traditional Chinese medicine plays a certain role in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. In order to deeply mine the association rules between Chinese herbal medicines for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, this improved Apriori algorithm is applied from the retrieved published scientific literature and the guidelines for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 published all over China. Based on the representation of traditional Chinese medicine data in binary form, the potential core traditional Chinese medicine combinations in the treatment of COVID-19 are identified. The results of association rules of Chinese herbal medicine data obtained from the real database provide an important reference for the analysis of COVID-19 combined treatment of Chinese herbal medicine.

Abstract:

The primary therapeutic effects of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) are based on the properties of each herb and the strategic combination of herbs in formulae. The herbal formulae are constructed according to Chinese medicine theory: the “Traditional Principles for Constructing Chinese Herbal Medicinal Formulae” and the “Principles of Combining Medicinal Substances.” These principles of formulation detail how and why multiple medicinal herbs with different properties are combined together into a single formula. However, the concept of herbal synergism in CHM still remains a mystery due to lack of scientific data and modern assessment methods. The Compound Danshen Formula (CDF) is a validated formula that has been used to treat a variety of diseases for hundreds of years in China and other countries. The CDF will be employed to illustrate the theory and principle of Chinese herbal medicine formulation. The aim of this review is to describe how Chinese herbal medicinal formulae are constructed according to Chinese medicine theory and to illustrate with scientific evidence how Chinese herbs work synergistically within a formula, thereby supporting Chinese medicine theory and practice.

Abstract:

Abstract Chinese medicine herbal extracts are ideal candidates to replace toxic industrial wood preservatives thanks to their antifungal and nontoxic properties. To investigate the antifungal activity of Chinese herbal medicines, in this study, Trametes versicolor fungi were selected as test strains to evaluate the antifungal properties of Fructus Cnidii, Fructus Forsythiae, and Radix Stemonae. The results show that Fructus Cnidii has a strong inhibitory effect against T. versicolor, whereas Fructus Forsythiae and Radix Stemonae have a weak inhibitory effect. The hyphae growth cycle shows that the three studied Chinese herbs disrupt the growth of T. versicolor. Moreover, instead of direct killing, the Chinese herbal medicine demonstrated inhibition ability. Furthermore, the morphological and toxicological evidence shows that Fructus Cnidii affected the expression of proteins or enzymes to achieve the inhibition goal. In sum, this study could provide both primary data and a theoretical foundation for further developing and applying for traditional Chinese medicine as a green type of wood preservative.

Abstract:

Uremic pruritus is a disturbing and refractory symptom in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Chinese herbal medicine has been reported to alleviate uremic pruritus. To investigate the effects of Chinese herbal medicine, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on patients with uremic pruritus. We searched databases (prior to 3 May 2022) for randomized controlled trials on the effects of Chinese herbal medicine in treating uremic pruritus. Our meta-analysis included 3311 patients from 50 randomized controlled trials. In patients with uremic pruritus, adjunctive Chinese herbal medicine significantly improved overall effectiveness (risk ratio 1.29, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.35), quality of life, renal function, reduced pruritus score, and inflammatory biomarkers compared to control groups with hemodialysis alone or with anti-pruritic treatments. Chinese herbal medicine treatment showed a time-dependent tendency in improving the visual analog scale of dialysis patients. Compared to control groups, no significantly higher risk of adverse events in patients taking Chinese herbal medicine (risk ratio 0.60, 95% CI 0.22 to 1.63). Chinese herbal medicine appears to be effective and safe in complementing the treatment of patients with uremic pruritus.

In this context, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with ASHMI compared to conventional therapy, considering the need for new therapeutic approaches. An integrative review was performed, according to the PRISMA methodology. Articles published between 2011 and 2021 that related Herbal Medicines of Traditional Chinese Medicine, asthma and corticosteroids were examined. The searches took place in October and November 2021 in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scielo databases. The selection comprised steps such as: search, pre-selection and inclusion of articles. The results of the herbal medicine and its isolated components were demonstrated, with three studies being clinical trials with humans and four pre-clinical studies. From the results, the efficacy of the herbal medicine and its components compared to corticosteroids were evaluated. It was reported that ASHMI, unlike corticosteroids, does not suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the immune system, having mild adverse effects

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: In this study, we estimate the effects of probiotics, Chinese herbal medicine and antibiotics on chicken protein, fat, ash, some kind of amino acids and fatty acids, tenderness and other physical and chemical properties. Method: 240 hens were divided into six groups, including blank control group, probiotic group, antibiotic group, Chinese herbal medicine group (Three parallel groups were set in the Chinese herbal medicine group: 0.3%, 0.6% and 1%). Hens were fed on restricted diets for more than 120 days. Collecting six breast samples from each group randomly and assaying those items described in the objective. In this study, we performed some determination methods, such as HPLC, GC, Kjeldahl and Soxhelt Method. Data were collected by Excel and analyzed by SPSS18.0 software. The results were expressed as the mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test was performed to determine statistical significance. ResultThe results showed that the contents of protein, fat, amino acid and fatty acid in chicken were not different significantly among these groups (P > 0.05). So did the value of shear (P > 0.05). Inosine acid content in 0.6% & 1% Chinese herbal medicine group was increased significantly (P < 0.05). The ash value was decreased significantly in 1% Chinese herbal medicine group (P < 0.05). Significance and Innovation: There are many alternatives of antibiotics in livestock and poultry breeding based on Chinese herbal medicine in China. Our study helps to illustrate the positive effect of Chinese herbal medicine on animal feeding and lay a foundation for the future rational application of Chinese herbal medicine in non-antibiotic feeding. Meanwhile, similar reports have not been found internationally. Conclusion Adding proper amount of Chinese herbal medicine in diet can promote the production of inosine acid and enhance the taste of meat, reduce the ash content similarly.

Abstract:

Traditional Chinese medicine can promote the proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We chose four “Kidney-tonifying” Chinese herbal medicines, Radix Astragali, Salvia, Herba Epimedii, and Saussurea Involucrata, to evaluate whether they had positive effects on the proliferation of BMSCs and TGF-β1-induced chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The four Chinese herbal medicines were intragastrically administered to Sprague-Dawley rats, respectively, to prepare drug-containing serums of corresponding Chinese herbs. BMSCs were isolated, cultured, and exposed to culture solution containing 1%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (v/v) Radix Astragali-, Salvia-, Herba Epimedii-, and Saussurea Involucrata-containing serum, respectively. TGF-β1-induced BMSCs were addressed in the same manner. Collagen type II protein was assessed by immunofluorescence methods. To assess whether the drug-containing serums had positive effects on the proliferation of BMSCs and TGF-β1-induced BMSCs, MTT method was assessed. The proliferation of BMSCs was significantly enhanced when exposed to culture solutions containing 1% and 5% Radix Astragali-, 1% and 5% Salvia-, 5% Herba Epimedii-, and 1%, 5%, and 10% Saussurea Involucrata-containing serum. The proliferation of TGF-β1-induced BMSCs was significantly enhanced when exposed to 1%, 5%, and 15% Radix Astragali-, 10% and 15% Salvia-, 5%, and 15% Herba Epimedii-, and 1%, 5%, and 10% Saussurea Involucrata-containing serum.

Abstract:

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience in many diseases and is often caused by intense or damaging stimuli. Pain negatively affects the quality of life and increases high health expenditures. Drugs with analgesic properties are commonly used to relieve pain, but these Western medications could be overwhelmed by side effects including tolerance and addiction. Herbal medicines may provide alternative measures for pain management. In this review paper, after introduction of Chinese medicine theory and treatment modality, emphasis is placed on the application of Chinese herbs and herbal formulations in pain management. Three of the most commonly used herbs, i.e., Corydalis yanhusuo, Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Aconitum carmichaeli, are reviewed. Subsequently, using this ancient medical remedy, Chinese herbal formulation in treating common medical conditions associated with pain, such as headache/migraine, chest pain, abdominal pain, low back pain, neuropathic pain, osteoarthritis, and cancer pain, is presented. Chinese herbal medicines could be considered as a complementary and integrative approach in the modern armamentarium in combating pain.

Abstract:

Traditional Chinese and Iranian medicine are ancient medical and health care systems that still forms an important part of diagnosis and treatment systems in Iran, China and other parts of the world. The integration of these two systems and modern biomedicine is also an important issue. Iranian and Chinese traditional medicines recommended for health promotion and well-being. Chinese herbal drugs have been described by medieval Muslim medical scholars such as Tabari, Rhazes, Haly Abbas, Avicenna and Jurjani (1137 CE). Traditional Chinese and Iranian medicine play an important role in sustainable agriculture and food systems, it also offers a holistic approach to prevent diseases while making appropriate use of organic and herbal products especially growth by small-scale family farmers. Both Iranian and Chinese traditional medicines may help to balance temperature, and both can be health prevention and preservation. Traditional healing practices consist of Islamic religious text based practices, Islamic worship practices and folk healing practices, Islamic religious text based practices are included spiritual healing, medicinal herbs, applied therapy and dietary prescriptions. At present, herbal medications or related products in the global market are derived from Chinese herbs, Indian herbs, Iranian herbs, Arabic herbs, and Western herbs. Herbal remedies may also be classified into three categories, namely, modern herbs, theoretical herbs, and empirical herbs, in accordance with their nature/characteristics and the nature of current usage.

Abstract:

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) injury is a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease, which accounts for approximately 450,000 deaths a year in the United States alone. Chinese herbal medicine, especially combined herbal formulations, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of myocardial infarction for hundreds of years. While the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine is well documented, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this review, we highlight recent studies which are focused on elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms using extracted compounds, single herbs, or herbal formulations in experimental settings. These studies represent recent efforts to bridge the gap between the enigma of ancient Chinese herbal medicine and the concepts of modern cell and molecular biology in the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Abstract:

Diabetes is a major medical problem that imperils public health. Over two thousand years ago, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) called diabetes-related symptoms "Xiaoke" disease. In ancient China, TCM and Chinese herbal medicines were used widely in treating Xiaoke and abundant experience has been accumulated. This article discusses the TCM theory on diabetes and its achievements in the prevention and treatment of diabetes in the past. Using Chinese herbal medicine, recent progress in diabetes therapeutics, including data from clinical trials, are presented. Mechanistic studies from basic research are discussed. Yin-yang balance and a holistic approach of TCM may complement diabetes treatment in Western medicine. With continuous efforts, TCM could play a more important role in fighting this disease.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the Chinese herbal medicines Bupleuri radix, Ginseng radix and Zingiberis rhizoma on spontaneous lymphatic vessel activity. The effect of each herbal medicine on in vivo lymphatic flow was examined by injection of dye into the femoral regions of rats after feeding with the herbal medicines. In an in vitro study, spontaneous changes in diameter of the rat thoracic duct were monitored, and each segment was exposed to each herbal medicine. In the in vivo study, 100% of the right iliac lymphatic node were positively stained in the herbal medicine group, whereas only 40% of the node were positively stained in the control group. In the in vitro study, Bupleuri radix and Ginseng radix increased the amplitude of spontaneous activity of lymphatic vessels in a concentration-dependent manner with or without L-NAME, an NO synthase inhibitor. The results indicated that the herbal medicines Bupleuri radix and Ginseng radix activated spontaneous lymphatic vasomotion and lymph flow, and the mechanisms of this effect seem to be independent of endothelial cells.
