Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chronic bronchitis is a chronic, nonspecific inflammation of the trachea, bronchial mucosa, and surrounding tissues. Clinically, it is characterized by symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath, along with a recurring, chronic course. Severe cases may develop chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema and cor pulmonale. The disease is caused by multiple factors, typically including chronic, specific inflammation of the trachea, bronchial mucosa, and surrounding tissues. Common pathological manifestations of chronic bronchitis include a sudden increase in mucus secretion and hyperplasia of bronchial glands. Patients with chronic bronchitis typically experience persistent coughing and sputum production for more than three months, and may even experience wheezing. Most patients experience relatively mild clinical symptoms in the early stages of the disease. Chronic bronchitis is milder in the spring and more severe in the winter. In the late stages, severe cases can present with prolonged clinical symptoms. Recurrent attacks of chronic bronchitis cause many patients to lose their ability to work and experience severe mental distress. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema often coexist.

[0003] The cause of emphysema is long-term lung deficiency, which makes it susceptible to external pathogens. The accumulation of phlegm and turbidity causes the condition to gradually worsen and develop. Therefore, its development and progression are driven by both internal and external factors. The lesions first affect the lungs, subsequently affecting the spleen and kidneys, and later on, the heart. The lungs govern qi and respiration, opening up through the nose and defending the exterior. Therefore, external pathogens often easily invade through the mouth, nose, and skin, first attacking the lungs. Pathogenic pathogens stagnate in the lungs, hindering the airway and causing abnormal qi movement, resulting in shortness of breath, coughing, and expectoration. Furthermore, the lungs serve as a canopy for the five internal organs, connecting all the meridians to other organs. The lungs are delicate organs and are vulnerable to pathogenic invasion. The upward invasion of pathogenic qi from other organs can also cause the lungs to fail to descend, resulting in bloating of lung qi, obstruction of the airway, and respiratory difficulties, leading to shortness of breath. This combination of internal and external pathogens can lead to prolonged, recurring episodes, ultimately leading to lung depletion. Consequently, lung deficiency can lead to qi loss of control, resulting in shortness of breath and increasing shortness of breath. Chronic lung deficiency and kidney deficiency can lead to the lungs failing to control qi, and the kidneys failing to absorb qi. This leads to severe wheezing with movement, difficulty inhaling, and shortness of breath that is difficult to maintain. Due to lung qi deficiency, the lungs fail to regulate their function and cannot assist the heart in circulating blood. Furthermore, heart yang, rooted in the fire of the gate of life, is also deficient in kidney deficiency, leading to a deficiency in both heart qi and heart yang, which cannot stimulate blood circulation. This leads to blood stasis, resulting in cyanosis of the face, lips, tongue, and nail beds, worsening shortness of breath, and chest fullness that prevents sleeping. These recurring symptoms worsen lung and kidney deficiency, creating a vicious cycle that deepens the disease.

[0004] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a positive effect on the treatment of respiratory diseases, particularly demonstrating the unique advantages of TCM respiratory medicine in the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine has played an irreplaceable, and even increasingly important, role in respiratory medicine, past, present, and future, that Western medicine cannot replace. It possesses unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases and respiratory disorders. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The invention relates to an application of the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema in preparing medicine for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema.

[0018] The use of the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema in preparing a medicine for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema is characterized in that chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema belongs to the lung and kidney deficiency type.

[0019] Chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as "lung distension," is characterized by persistent coughing, asthma, and other symptoms that persist over time, leading to lung, spleen, and kidney deficiency and airway obstruction. Symptoms include chest fullness, shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing, particularly with movement, or accompanied by excessive phlegm. In severe cases, symptoms include a dull complexion, cyanosis of the lips and tongue, and edema of the face and limbs. The condition can be protracted and difficult to resolve. Deficiency syndromes are more common and are categorized as either lung or kidney deficiency or spleen and kidney deficiency, with lung and kidney deficiency being the most common. Symptoms include shortness of breath, a low, timid voice, wheezing with movement, a dull complexion, or facial edema. A pale tongue with a white coating and a deep, weak pulse are common. Lung and kidney yin deficiency manifests as cough with scant sputum, chest fullness and irritability, hot hands and soles, shortness of breath with movement, dry mouth and thirst, a red tongue with a clear coating, and a deep, thready pulse. The lungs govern qi, while the kidneys receive qi. The lungs are the master of qi, while the kidneys are its root. Lung deficiency impairs the function of clearing and purging, while kidney deficiency incapacitates qi. Clear qi struggles to enter, while oily qi struggles to escape, leading to chest fullness, shortness of breath, and shortness of breath with movement. Insufficient lung qi results in a low, timid voice. A dull complexion indicates qi deficiency and blood stasis. Facial edema indicates qi deficiency and water retention. A pale tongue coating and a deep, weak pulse are also signs of lung and kidney qi deficiency. Lung and kidney yin deficiency generates internal heat, resulting in hot palms and soles, dry mouth, and irritability. Internal lung yin deficiency, with its inability to purify and descend, leads to chest fullness, persistent cough, and scanty, labored sputum. A vibrant, red, and thin pulse with no coating is a sign of lung and kidney yin deficiency. The present invention treats by the following therapeutic principles: one, invigorating qi and tonifying the lungs and nourishing the kidneys and restraining the lungs; two, since phlegm is generated by dampness, the dampness will be transformed naturally when the spleen is healthy, and the phlegm will be eliminated when the dampness is removed, and the qi mechanism will be unobstructed, so the spleen can be healthy, so the method of invigorating the spleen is adopted; three, since the main disease site is in the lungs, in the early stage, it is mostly caused by lung qi disharmony, failure to promote descent, and endogenous phlegm dampness, resulting in cough and spitting, which lasts for a long time and does not heal, and often involves other organs, and is mostly a syndrome of wood deficiency and superficial excess, in which superficial excess is phlegm turbidity (heat) blocking the lungs, and the underlying deficiency is that the lungs, spleen, and kidneys are all deficient. The therapeutic principles of dispelling pathogenic factors, detoxifying and resolving phlegm, purging the lungs and relieving asthma, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling are adopted; four, since lung qi is smooth by descending, and stomach qi is harmonious by descending, "descending" is a common characteristic of lung qi and stomach qi. The stomach and lungs are adjacent, but share the same respiratory system. Any pathogenic qi that disrupts the stomach's descending function can affect the lung's descending function, leading to upward lung qi reversal and cough. Therefore, the Suwen (Suwen) Cough Theory summarizes the pathogenesis of cough by stating that it "gathers in the stomach and connects to the lungs." Methods are used to reduce stomach qi and resist gastric acid, focusing on protecting the lung's defensive qi and the spleen and stomach's qi to strengthen the defensive functions of the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucosa. Zhu Danxi of the Yuan Dynasty, in his book Danxi's Heart Method Cough, notes that lung distension is linked to the intertwining of phlegm and blood stasis: "Lung distension and cough, either on the left or right side, with insomnia, are caused by phlegm and blood stasis obstructing qi. It is advisable to nourish the blood to circulate qi, and to reduce fire and soothe the liver to clear phlegm." Fifthly, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs are used to clear accumulated phlegm and blood stasis in the lungs, clearing the lung meridians and promoting smooth flow of qi and blood. Sixthly, because qi originates in the kidneys and is governed by the lungs, persistent cough and asthma, year after year, inevitably damage lung qi. This, in turn, affects the lungs and kidneys, leading to deficiency in both the lungs and kidneys. When the lungs fail to control qi, qi stagnation occurs, while when the kidneys fail to receive qi, qi reverses. The qi of the lungs and kidneys cannot flow freely, preventing clear qi from entering and turbid qi from leaving. This stagnation causes the lungs to swell and distend, leading to distension. As Chao Yuanfang of the Sui Dynasty wrote in his Treatise on the Origin and Symptoms of Various Diseases: Symptoms of Qi Diseases, "The lungs control qi. When pathogenic factors invade the lungs, they distend. Disturbance leads to obstruction of the lung tubes, which in turn leads to obstruction of the airways, resulting in asthma and wheezing." Therefore, the principle of regulating qi and resolving phlegm is adopted.

[0020] The present invention adopts ginseng and astragalus to invigorate qi and tonify the lungs, rehmannia glutinosa and schisandra chinensis to nourish the kidneys and restrain the lungs, pinellia tuber and poria to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, inula flower and calcined corrugated fruit to reduce stomach qi, which are all monarch drugs; trichosanthes root and fritillaria thunbergii to detoxify and resolve phlegm, purge the lungs, scutellaria baicalensis fruit and mulberry bark to purge the lungs and relieve asthma, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, which are all ministerial drugs; panax notoginseng and madder root to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which are adjuvant drugs; and fructus aurantii and tangerine peel to regulate qi and resolve phlegm, and the whole formula comprises ginseng, astragalus root, rehmannia glutinosa, schisandra chinensis, pinellia tuber, poria, inula flower, calcined corrugated fruit, trichosanthes root, fritillaria thunbergii, scutellaria baicalensis fruit, mulberry bark, panax notoginseng, madder root, fructus aurantii and tangerine peel, which have the effects of nourishing the liver, spleen and kidneys, reducing stomach qi, purging the lungs and relieving asthma, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and resolving phlegm, and is suitable for treating chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema.

[0034] Example 4: Pharmacodynamic study of the present invention on emphysema

[0035] Experimental Principle: Previous studies suggest that an imbalance in the protease / antiprotease system in emphysematous lung tissue is a major contributing factor, with elastase playing a crucial role in the development and progression of emphysema. The pharmacodynamics of the present invention against emphysema were studied using an elastase-induced rat experimental emphysema model.

[0036] Experimental Animals and Reagents: Male SD rats, weighing 250-280 g, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Yangzhou University. Reagents: Elastase (Porcine pancreatic elastase PPE) was produced by Changzhou Qianhong Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., batch number 73100303; 1 mg = 17.5 μg activity units (μg), dissolved in sterile saline and prepared to the desired concentration. Instrument: RM-6000 polygraph, manufactured by Nihon Kohden.

[0037] Modeling experiment: After the experimental rats were anesthetized with ether, they were fixed in the supine position, with a midline incision of about 1.5 cm in the neck. After separating the trachea, a sterile physiological saline solution of elastase was injected from the trachea with a 5# needle, at a dosage of 100u / 100g, in a volume of 0.2ml / . The rats were then upright and gently rotated so that the solution evenly contacted the lung tissue to keep the airway open. The skin was then sutured and penicillin was topically instilled to prevent infection. Rats that survived 24 hours after the operation were taken and randomly divided into a model group, a normal control group, and the Example 1 group. The model group and the normal control group were given normal saline orally at a dosage of 20ml / kg, and the Example 1 group was given the granules prepared by Example 1, with a dosage of 20g crude drug amount / kg. The administration was given orally by gavage once a day for 30 consecutive days.

[0038] Observation index 1: Determination of pulmonary artery pressure (PPA): 24 hours after the last administration, rats were anesthetized with 40 mg / kg ip of sodium pentobarbital, the thoracotomy was performed at the left edge of the sternum, and artificial positive pressure respiration was performed with a small animal ventilator. Then, a cannula was inserted into the pulmonary artery, and the pulmonary artery pressure was recorded with an RM-6000 polychannel physiological recorder.

[0039] Observation index 2: Ratio of right ventricle to left ventricle plus ventricular septum (RV / LV+S): After measuring pulmonary artery pressure, rats were bled to death, the hearts were dissected, residual blood was flushed out, large blood vessels and atrial appendages were cut off, the right ventricle was cut from the edge of the junction of the right ventricle and the ventricular septum, and the remaining left ventricle and ventricular septum were weighed separately. The percentage of left ventricle (RV) divided by left ventricle (LV) + ventricular septum (S) was used as an indicator to observe right ventricular hypertrophy.

[0040] The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 Effects of the present invention on PPA and RV / LV+S in experimental emphysema in rats

[0042] Grouping PPA (mmHg.x±s) RV / LV+S(%.x±s) Normal control group 21.45±2.76 29.13±4.97 Model Group 28.37±2.14## 37.75±3.24## Example 1 group 22.74±2.47* 30.76±4.04*

[0043] Note: ##P<0.01; *P<0.05; #Compared with the normal group; *Compared with the model group;

[0044] As shown in Table 1, the pulmonary artery pressure in the experimental emphysema rats after modeling was significantly elevated, and the RV / LV+S ratio increased. Compared with the normal control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05), indicating successful modeling. Continuous administration of the granules in the Example 1 group for 30 days reduced the PPA in the rats and the RV / LV+S ratio. This indicates that the present invention can significantly reduce the elevated pulmonary artery pressure and the RV / LV+S ratio in the experimental emphysema rat model, and also demonstrates a significant improvement in the experimental emphysema rat model.

[0045] Example 5: Clinical Trial

[0046] Case selection: 100 patients with chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema of the lung and kidney deficiency type admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to October 2023 were divided into two groups, with 50 cases in each group.
