Comparison among Cornelian Cherry and <i>Prunus cerasus</i>According to Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Capacity by Three Various Methods of Extraction

Cornelian cherry and Prunus cerasus with red pigments possess precious source of flavonoids and phenolic acids which have various applications in treatment of various health problems. This study is conducted to compare different methods of extraction (shaking incubator, soxhelet, ultrasonic) were applied in order to identify the best method which shows the highest rate of antioxidant capacity by DPPH and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods and total phenolic compounds via Folin-Ciocalteu procedure, p-coumaric acid content of fruits were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). As a result, cornelian cherry with 1313.13 mg/Kg average TPC score exhibits higher total phenolic content than Prunus cerasus with 1270 mg/Kg. It’s notice worthy that there was a slight difference among antioxidant activity in two fruits. Consequently, DPPH revealed nearly stronger antioxidant activity for Prunus cerasus while cornelian cherry had a little more potent antioxidant activity according to FRAP Test. p-coumaric acid content was almost twice in Prunus cerasus (10.8 mg/ml) than cornelian cherry (5.6 mg/ml). In addition, both shaking incubator and ultrasonic extraction procedures were more efficient than soxhelet in two fruits.

Fruit Nutritional Value of Cornelian Cherry Genotypes （Comus mas L.） Selected in the Vojvodina Province

This paper reviews results of some morphometric properties and chemical analyses of natural populations of the Cornelian cherry collected in the Vojvodina Province in 2008. Purpose of this study was the selection of the best genotypes for future breeding program until the final goal and that is standardizing Cornelian cherry cultivars. Chemical content has been found to depend on the genotype. Total sugar content in fruits ranged from 11.77% （CPC16） to 41.62% （BPC7）, vitamin C from 17.15 mg/100 g （APC8） to 42.30 rag/100 g of fresh fruit （APC2）, Ca pectat from 0.17% （APC6） to 2.52% （KC 1 ） and anthocyanin from 22.65 mg/100 g （APC4）to 96.30 rag/100 g of fresh fruit （BPC1）. Cornelian cherry fruits have an especially high content of minerals compared with other fruit species： the potassium content （in ppm） ranges from 2330 （APC6） to 11487 （APC4）, the calcium content from 33.80 （APC6） to 1307.70 （BPC1）, the sodium content from 22.82 （BPC8） to 273.48 （APC8）, the magnesium content from 10.20 （APC6） to 372.80 （APC8） and the iron content from 2.38 （KC2） to 14.40 （APCS）. The balanced content of nutrients, a wide range of food products made from the Cornelian cherry and an extremely high nutritional value make this fruit species a highly recommendable food item, especially if it comes from organic production.

从扶正固本探讨“三补”治疗去势抵抗性前列腺癌的临证思路

临床上前列腺癌(PCa)患者在经历一段时间的内分泌治疗后,易进展为去势抵抗性前列腺癌(CRPC),此时仅部分患者可从现代医学疗法中获益。从经方肾气丸中撷取的“三补”(生地黄/熟地黄+山茱萸+山药)为临床经典药对,课题组认为“三补”具扶正固本之功,能切实针对CRPC以正气衰惫为本的病机特点,适用于改善CRPC临床症状。本文对“三补”运用于CRPC这一思路进行系统阐述,并附验案一则。

黄芪、山萸肉、水蛭粉治疗夜尿多经验--仝小林三味小方撷萃

仝小林教授将认为,对于老年人及血糖控制不佳的糖尿病患者,夜尿多是早期肾动脉硬化的预见症。补肾缩泉、活血通络为基本治疗原则。仝小林教授临床常用黄芪、山萸肉、水蛭粉为基础配伍治疗夜尿多,方中黄芪益气补虚固摄,山萸肉滋补肾阴,酸涩收敛,固精益肾,亦可以增强他药敛尿之力。水蛭粉疏通肾络,抵抗早期肾动脉硬化引起的血流减少,增加肾脏血流,为血络常用药物之一,也可化瘀通络,防止浊毒伤络。方中黄芪常用剂量为30~90 g,山萸肉常用剂量为9~30 g,水蛭的常用剂量为3~6 g,打粉冲服。

唐以前山茱萸应用探析

通过梳理现存唐以前医书中应用山茱萸的方剂,结合历代本草文献对山茱萸的记载,分析唐以前医家应用山茱萸治疗疾病的特点,为现代临床应用山茱萸提供理论指导。山茱萸用治风邪,取补肝体、温肝阳之用;补诸虚,取其酸涩敛固、助壬癸蛰藏之功;治脚气,取其温中养血、逐寒湿痹之能;治耳聋,取其秘精气、通九窍之力;治其他病证,各取滋肾养阴、敛肺降气、滋心液以敛心阳之效。

仝小林运用蒲公英、白花蛇舌草、山茱萸治疗湿热蕴结型肠上皮化生经验

仝小林院士认为,胃黏膜肠上皮化生为癌前病变,应当重点关注,治疗具有重要意义。湿热蕴结型是肠上皮化生的常见类型之一,多因饮食不调,久食膏粱厚味,日久酿生湿热,内蕴脾胃而引起,亦可因感受湿热交阻于中焦而致病。胃喜润恶燥,治疗要点一为改善胃内湿热环境,改善黏膜生存状态,使其滋润;二为保护消化道黏膜,不局限于胃黏膜;三是仍需要继续寻找针对某一靶点的特效药。仝小林临床常使用蒲公英、白花蛇舌草、山茱萸为基础方配伍治疗此病。蒲公英、白花蛇舌草以清泻胃热,解毒利湿,切断来路,二药均为甘凉之品,燥湿而不伤胃阴;山茱萸为治疗肠上皮化生的经验用药。方中蒲公英常用剂量为15~30 g,白花蛇舌草常用剂量为9~15 g,山茱萸常用剂量为9~30 g。

论宋元禅寺中的节庆饮茶——以端午、重阳为例

宋元禅寺于中国传统节日端午节、重阳节由住持上堂烧香说法,僧众饮茶。僧人于端午饮菖蒲茶、重阳饮茱萸茶最早见于宋代寺院,即将茶与菖蒲、茱萸研磨后点饮,或于茶汤中加入菖蒲、茱萸碎末煮饮。元代《敕修百丈清规》正式将其写入寺院仪轨,令天下僧人遵行,并一直延续至明清。宋元禅师语录与灯录保留有端午、重阳上堂说法并饮用菖蒲茶、茱萸茶的记载,其内容多带有驱邪禳灾、蠲除病疾的意味。宋元禅寺节庆饮用菖蒲茶、茱萸茶,反映了僧人对中华文化的强烈认同,同时影响了宋元文人的饮茶风俗。
