Exploration of the efficacy and mechanism of treating head wind disease with the combination change of ginger volatile oil and gingerol by using content-weighted network pharmacology technology

Background:Exploring the efficacy,potential components,and mechanism of the combination of ginger essential oil and gingerols in the treatment of head wind disease based on network pharmacology technology with content weight.Methods:The experimental groups were divided into:0:10,1:4,1:2,1:1,2:1,4:1,10:0.The relative content(Ri)of the chemical constituents of ginger's volatile oil was determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).Additionally,the physicochemical and biological property parameters(LogP,MDCK,PPB,MW)of the components were considered.To assess the quantitative effect of the components,a grading score was performed,and the quantitative effect index(Ki)was calculated.Subsequently,the target effect index(Ti)was calculated by combining the component-target matching score(Fit score).Using these calculations,the target effect score A was determined under the influence of multiple components targeting different targets.Key targets with A≥1000 were identified.To predict the targets related to head wind disease,the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database(https://ctdbase.org/),Gene Cards(https://www.genecards.org/),and Disgenet database(https://www.disgenet.org/)were utilized.The key targets,obtained from different proportions of ginger's volatile oil and gingerol,were intersected with the predicted targets.This facilitated network pharmacological analysis and verification of the efficacy.Results:The content of volatile oil in ginger demonstrated an impact on key targets associated with the volatile oil group.Each specific combination of volatile oil consistently activated distinct pathways,with variations stemming from changes in content.Experimental testing revealed that different combinations of ginger's volatile oil and gingerol effectively alleviated migraine symptoms in rats.Conclusion:Through the application of content-weighted network pharmacology technology and pharmacodynamic verification,it was determined that altering the ratio between ginger's volatile oil and gingerol leads to variations in potential targets and pathways,consequently impacting its efficacy.

从“风火”论治变态反应性疾病思路

变态反应性疾病临床常见,其病位虽不同,但病机却有一定共性。总体而言,人体阴阳协调,则一气周流,如“春风”生养万物。一旦各种原因导致阳气郁而不升或逆而不降,疏布失常的“阳气”在人体内过度聚集,愈郁则愈欲疏泄,久积必终向外透解,如“风火”之邪侵及人体各处皮肤孔窍,则会出现相关部位的过敏症状。临床诊治中,根据变态反应性疾病发作的病机,常用熄风火以缓症状、透余热以防复发、养脉络以促复原、调五脏以兼标本等治法,并坚持以辨证为先、因势利导、急缓有异、清透兼施、整体局部辨证结合等为治疗原则,取得了良好疗效。文末列举一则验案加以说明,希望帮助读者更好理解和应用。

盆腔炎性疾病后遗症是妇科常见的慢性疾病,其成因复杂,病程长,缠绵难愈,对女性的生殖健康与正常生活都产生了严重影响。风药能祛除风疾并兼有风木属性,具有“升、行、透、窜、动”的特性,针对盆腔炎性疾病后遗症“湿、瘀、郁、虚”的病因病机,能从“助运胜湿、活血化瘀、开散气结、补而不滞”四个方面发挥协同作用。文章从盆腔炎性疾病后遗症的病因病机出发,探讨了风药在本病治疗中的机理及应用,并附验案一则,为该病的中医治疗提供参考。

从风、痰论治肾脏病的理论与实践

肾脏病在中国的发病率逐年攀升,肾脏病的治疗是目前医学研究的热点与难点之一,而中医药对于肾脏病的治疗具有一定优势。长期以来,从风邪论治肾脏病已经达成一定共识,而对痰邪与肾脏病的关注略显不足。肾脏病的发生发展与风、痰密切相关,风邪、痰邪既是肾脏病的发病因素,又可作为病理产物影响肾脏病的预后。文章结合西医的研究进展与临床实践总结,试述从风、痰论治肾脏病的临证思路与治疗体会,以期为制定肾脏病的中医诊疗方案提供借鉴与参考。

从“络病-风药”理论探讨独活寄生汤治疗类风湿关节炎

类风湿关节炎(RA)属中医“痹病”范畴,其发生、发展、转归与络病密切相关。本文通过分析类风湿关节炎微小血管新生的病理状态与络脉生理和络病病机特点,以络脉为其邪伏、邪发、邪伤及邪阻之所展开论述,可认为“络病”是其病理基础,络虚是其根本病机,风挟寒湿之邪内侵络脉为发病关键。基于“络病”理论和“风药”理论相关认识,从独活寄生汤为治风之剂视角认识其治疗类风湿关节炎的作用,并提出病变早期络脉郁滞、风药先行,中期络脉瘀塞、健脾化瘀,晚期络脉空虚、风引入肾,探讨独活寄生汤在病变不同时期风药与他药的组方原理,丰富独活寄生汤的组方配伍理论,扩展独活寄生汤的临床指导意义,为其临床应用提供参考。

基于“气脉常通”论治慢性疲劳综合征

慢性疲劳综合征(CFS)是一种病程缓慢且常伴有多种躯体及精神神经症状的慢性综合性疾病,目前发病率呈上升趋势。本文基于“气脉常通”理论,认为CFS病机以脾肾亏损、气脉虚滞为本,肝肺失调、气脉郁滞为枢,风火侵袭、痰瘀内生为标。治疗应补脾益肾以治其本,根据脾肾亏虚程度及气血阴阳亏虚侧重,选用补中益气汤、归脾汤、升阳益胃汤、苓桂术甘汤、肾气丸等;疏肝理肺以调其枢,肝肺同调,升降并用,根据病位、病性的侧重,选用柴胡疏肝散、逍遥散、四逆散、桂枝汤、生脉散等;疏风清热、化痰活血以治其标,以补虚解郁为主,根据病机侧重不同,选用相应治法加减用药为辅。附验案一则,以作佐证,以期为CFS的中医治疗提供参考。

基于“少阳为枢”与“络风内动—络损神伤”理论探讨双心疾病的治疗

双心疾病为身心疾病的一种,是临床上多发的、容易忽视的一类疾病。中医领域中“心脏”和“情志”同属于“心系”范畴,两者生理相依,相互为病。少阳为枢,与心系疾病关系密切。枢机功能不利,表里不通、气血壅塞、五脏不顺,则扰动络脉,络风内动、损伤心络,络损神伤而发为双心疾病。可见“少阳为枢”与“络风内动—络损神伤”两者相互联系,结合文献研究与本团队前期论述,基于双心疾病的病机变化和临床表现,从理法方药角度探讨两种理论联系与共通,综合剖析以两种理论为指导方针治疗双心疾病的可行性,为提高临床双心疾病的诊治提供新思路。

基于玄府理论探讨风药在眼科疾病中的应用

眼科疾病发病时全身症状不显,尤其眼底疾病,以致于医者在临床辨证时常常无症可辨,此时传统的八纲辨证理论无法满足诊疗的需要。玄府理论作为一种独特的诊疗方法,为临床诊治眼病提供了新的思路。眼位至高,寻常药物所不能及,风药轻清上行,可助药力直达眼目,同时作为最常用的开玄府之品,其在眼病的治疗中占有重要地位。因此,本文以玄府理论为基础,总结眼科疾病的发病规律,结合风药辛散的生理特点,探讨风药在眼科疾病中的应用经验,提出风药通过祛风、散火、胜湿、润燥、达神等来祛除郁滞眼目的病理产物,调畅目中气血之运行,从而通利玄府通道,恢复目中神光运转功能,达到治疗内外障眼病的独特作用,以期为临床医师应用风药论治眼科疾病时提供新的理论参考。
