Physical-Chemical and Pharmacological Research on New Lignin Enterosorbent

The technology on obtaining enterosorbent from local feedstock--hydrolyzed lignin of cotton seed hulls named Zerotox was developed. The purpose of this research is to conduct a complex study on its physical-chemical and pharmacological properties. Samples of cotton hydrolyzed lignin based enterosorbent Zerotox were investigated, wood hydrolyzed lignin based enterosorbent Polifepan （Russia） was used as a comparison drug. The technology of new medical enterosorbent Zerotox, based on cotton hydrolyzed lignin, has been developed with its physical-chemical and pharmacological characteristics being researched. Comparative research on adsorbing capacity of sorbent Zerotox （80 mg/g） and its analogue--Polipefan （55 mg/g）, which is obtained from wood hydrolyzed lignin, has displayed advantages of the new sorbent. IR-spectroscopy research on lignin sorbent Zerotox has shown presence of oxygen-containing functional groups which determine its high absorbing capacity due to its chemisorption. Atomic-adsorptive method has proved high absorbing capacity of the sorbent towards heavy metals ions. Acute and chronic toxicity and antidiarrheal activity of enterosorbent Zerotox have also been studied.

Prediction of the mechanism of prostate prescription Ⅰ in the treatment of chronic prostatitis based on integrative pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine

Objective:To investigate potential mechanism of Prostate prescriptionⅠin the treatment of chronic prostatitis based on integrated pharmacology.Methods:with the help of TCMIP,the effective compounds of Prostate prescriptionⅠwere screened,and the potential target database of Prostate prescriptionⅠwas established by using the target prediction function of TCMIP.Based on the Human Phenotype Ontology database and protein interaction network(PPI)database,the disease target of CP was identified and the target interaction network was constructed;Through the GO function analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the candidate targets,combined with Chinese and foreign literature studies to predict the potential Signaling pathway of Prostate prescriptionⅠin the treatment of CP.Results:79 effective compounds of Prostate prescriptionⅠexerted its effect on 33 targets through 11 pathways.Conclusion:Clinical efficacy of Prostate prescriptionⅠon CP may be reflected in antiinflammation and anti-tumor,cell metabolism,immune regulation,neuroregulation and so on.

Opinion on pharmacology research and new drug development from precision medicine

Since President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative from a national strategy perspective in his State of the Union address,precision medicine has rapidly become a world-wide hotspot and drawn global attention in the medical field.Precision medicine aims at applying genetic information of individual diseases to guide his or her diagnosis and treatment.

Application of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction in Orthopaedics and Traumatology

The Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction(HQGZWWT)is composed of Huangqi(Astragali Radix),Shaoyao(Paeoniae Radix Alba),Guizhi(Cinnamomi Ramulus),Shengjiang(Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens),and Dazao(Jujubae Fructus)which has various pharmacological anti-inflammatory,analgesic,antioxidant,antitumor,lipid-lowering,and immunity-regulating activities.It has certain advantages in the treatment of orthopaedic diseases,such as cervical spondylosis,scapulohumeral periarthritis,lumbar disc herniation,knee osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis,myofascial pain syndrome,etc.,with outstanding clinical efficacy,few adverse reactions,and high patient compliance.However,modern pharmacological researches on the whole prescription of HQGZWWT are insufficient and the therapeutic targets are not clear which needs further exploration.Besides,this prescription cannot treat ll orthopaedic diseases,so we should adhere to the thinking of four diagnostics in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),select prescriptions based on syndrome differentiation,closely follow the pathogenesis,innovate and expand its scope of application,reflect the application advantages of this prescription in orthopaedics and traumatology and improve the total clinical efficiency.
