Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and in particular to a Chinese herbal medicine combination prescription for treating human calculi. Background Art

[0002] There are many problems and challenges in the current treatment of human stones. In terms of formula raw materials, some existing therapeutic drugs are single-ingredient chemical synthetics. For example, simple diuretics can only promote urine excretion and have a single effect. They cannot work synergistically like Chinese medicine preparations with multiple herbs to deal with stones and related problems from multiple aspects such as clearing heat and promoting diuresis, detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation. Simple diuretics are difficult to improve inflammation and blood circulation, which are crucial for stone excretion and recovery. Chemical synthetic drugs have obvious side effects and often damage liver and kidney function. Patients with long-term treatment are prone to abnormal liver function or decreased kidney function. Those with weak bodies find it even more difficult to bear and may even be forced to interrupt treatment.

[0003] Some treatments in modern medicine focus on new chemical synthetic drugs or technologies and ignore the advantages of natural herbs. Natural herbs have a rich history and practical verification, and their safety and efficacy have been accumulated and passed down among the people. However, newly developed drugs may only focus on the effect on the stones themselves, ignoring the overall condition of the patient and the safety of long-term use. They fail to fully utilize the advantages of natural herbs such as small synergistic effects, and the treatment effect on human stones is not ideal. Summary of the invention

[0041] "Stones are sand-like pathological products or lumps that form in certain parts of the body and stagnate into disease. Depending on the location of occurrence, stones can be divided into many types, such as liver stones, gallstones (including gallbladder stones, common bile duct stones, etc.), kidney stones, ureteral stones, fallopian tube stones, bladder stones, etc. In addition, there are stones in the male reproductive system (such as prostate stones, seminal vesicle stones) as well as dental stones and tonsil stones in the mouth."

[0042] The present invention always follows the principle of "treating according to the stone and prescribing the medicine according to the stone", constantly mobilizes various Chinese herbal medicines, and makes scientific formulas to achieve dialectical treatment with high efficacy.

[0043] The pharmacology of the raw material of the present invention acting on human calculi is as follows:

[0044] Datongcao has the effect of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the formation of human stones may be related to the accumulation of dampness and heat in the body. Datongcao can clear away heat and reduce the dampness and heat in the body. At the same time, its diuretic effect helps increase urine volume and provides a certain driving force for the discharge of stones through the flushing effect of urine. Its diuretic effect may be through regulating the body's water metabolism, so that the filtration and reabsorption function of the kidneys are improved to a certain extent, thereby promoting urine production.

[0045] Small tongcao also has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis and promoting lactation. In the treatment of human stones, its heat-clearing and diuretic effects can cooperate with large tongcao to strengthen the regulation of water metabolism in the body. It increases urine excretion and relieves local edema and inflammation caused by stones. In addition, the promoting effect of small tongcao also helps to improve the local poor blood circulation in the human body, creating a relatively smooth environment for the movement and discharge of stones.

[0046] Mountain loquat has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. For patients with human stones, the long-term presence of stones can easily cause inflammation. The heat-clearing and detoxifying effects of mountain loquat can reduce the inflammatory response. At the same time, the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can improve the local blood circulation of the human body. Good blood circulation can provide sufficient nutrition for tissues, help repair damaged tissues, and to a certain extent relieve the pain caused by stones. It is also beneficial to improve the tissue environment around the stones and promote the discharge of stones.

[0047] Liangteng has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can remove heat and toxins from the body and play an anti-inflammatory role in the inflammation caused by stones. Moreover, its medicinal effects may participate in the overall regulation of the body, relieve the physical discomfort caused by stone stimulation, and cooperate with other herbs to create a good internal environment for the discharge of stones.

[0048] Chicken bone firewood plays a role in improving local blood circulation and anti-inflammation. By promoting blood circulation, it can relieve local congestion and pain caused by stone stimulation. At the same time, its anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce the damage of inflammation to human tissues, restore the physiological functions of the human body to a certain extent, and facilitate the discharge of stones.

[0049] Cucumber has the effects of clearing heat and promoting diuresis. Its heat-clearing effect helps to remove heat and toxins from the body and reduce inflammatory reactions. Its diuretic effect can increase urine production and assist in the discharge of stones through urine flushing. In addition, it may relieve local edema in the human body and improve the patency of the human body.

[0050] Flowery bamboo has the effects of clearing away heat and removing dampness. For patients with human stones, its heat-clearing effect can reduce the dampness and heat in the body, while removing dampness can help regulate the body's water metabolism and make urine discharge smoother, thus facilitating the discharge of stones. At the same time, it may also relieve local inflammation caused by stones.

[0051] Thorn lotus has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can reduce inflammation caused by stones and relieve pain. At the same time, its medicinal effect may also participate in the overall regulation of the body, improve the body's internal environment, and cooperate with other drugs to help stones be discharged.

[0052] Dikudan has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. In the case of human stones, it can reduce the inflammatory response caused by stones and reduce the damage of inflammation to human tissues. Moreover, its effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying may help improve the overall state of the body and create favorable conditions for the discharge of stones.

[0053] Paulownia flowers have the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. For human stones, it can reduce inflammation and swelling of local tissues. Reduction of inflammation and swelling helps improve the patency of the human body, facilitates the discharge of stones, and also relieves the patient's pain and other discomfort symptoms.

[0054] Black peach flower has diuretic effect. It promotes urine excretion and increases the flushing power of urine on stones, which helps stones to be excreted from the body. At the same time, it may also participate in regulating the body's water metabolism and improve the overall physiological state.

[0055] Physalis has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness. It can remove dampness and heat from the body, regulate water metabolism, and increase urine output. Moreover, its heat-clearing effect can reduce inflammation, and has a certain effect on relieving inflammation and edema caused by human stones, which is conducive to the discharge of stones.

[0056] Baikema leaves have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying. They can reduce the inflammatory response caused by stones and help improve the local inflammatory environment of the human body. At the same time, its efficacy may synergize with other drugs to promote the body's recovery and the discharge of stones.

[0057] Daqu plays a role in regulating the body's qi and blood circulation and promoting metabolism. In the treatment of human stones, good qi and blood circulation helps improve the body's local blood circulation and provide a favorable body environment for stone excretion. Its role in promoting metabolism may also help the body decompose or excrete stones.

[0058] Jiuquhua has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can improve the local blood circulation of the human body and relieve the local pain and congestion caused by stones. The improvement of blood circulation is conducive to the delivery of nutrients and the discharge of metabolic waste, and also helps the movement and discharge of stones.

[0059] Yellow quail grass has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and promoting diuresis. Its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects can reduce inflammation, and its diuretic effect can increase urine volume and promote the discharge of stones. In addition, it may also be helpful in improving local pathological conditions of the human body, such as edema.

[0060] Chen Ai has the effects of warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals, dispelling cold and relieving pain. For human stones, it can relieve the pain caused by stone stimulation. At the same time, its effect of warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals may help improve the local circulation of qi and blood in the human body, creating a relatively smooth environment for the discharge of stones.

[0061] Hollyhock has the effects of clearing heat and promoting diuresis. It can increase urine production and flush stones through urine. At the same time, its heat-clearing effect helps to reduce the inflammatory response caused by stones, and has a certain effect on improving the local environment of the human body and promoting the discharge of stones.

[0062] Centella asiatica is a commonly used Chinese medicine for the treatment of stones. It has the effects of removing dampness and jaundice, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria. It can effectively increase urine volume, and through its strong diuretic and stranguria-relieving effects, it can flush stones and promote their excretion. In addition, its diuretic effect also helps regulate the body's water metabolism, improve the body's overall condition, and is conducive to the treatment of stones.

[0063] The synergistic effect and pharmacodynamic mechanism between the raw materials of the present invention are supplemented as follows:

[0064] Synergistic effect of heat-clearing drugs: Datongcao, Xiaotongcao, Shanpiquat, Liangteng, Ci Lianhua, Di Kudan, Paulownia, Baikema leaves, Huangquancai, Chen Ai, Kongxincao, etc. all have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. The synergistic effect of these drugs can reduce the inflammatory response from multiple levels. On the one hand, they can relieve inflammation of the tissues around the stones by clearing heat and toxins in the body, inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory factors. On the other hand, the combined effect can reduce the body's sensitivity to inflammatory stimuli, reduce symptoms such as pain and redness caused by inflammation, and create an internal environment with low inflammation and relatively healthy tissues for the discharge of stones.

[0065] Diuretic drugs have synergistic effects: Datongcao, Xiaotongcao, Dicucumber, Heitaohua, Physalis, Huangqicai, Kongxincao, and Qianqiancao all have diuretic or diuretic effects. They synergistically regulate the body's water metabolism, starting from the filtration and reabsorption of the kidneys, and increase urine production. Moreover, in the process of promoting urine excretion, they cooperate with each other to enhance the flushing force on stones. For example, Qianqiancao has a strong diuretic and diuretic effect. When it works together with other diuretic drugs, it can form a more effective flushing force, making it easier for stones to move and be discharged.

[0066] The synergistic effect of drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and regulate qi and blood: Loquat, Jiuqu flower, Daqu, etc. have the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and regulating the circulation of qi and blood. They work together to improve the local blood circulation of the human body and ensure adequate blood supply. Good blood circulation not only provides the necessary nutrients for the repair of damaged tissues, but also takes away metabolic waste and relieves local congestion and pain. At the same time, the smooth circulation of qi and blood helps maintain the normal physiological functions of the human body and provides strong support for the discharge of stones.

[0067] Comprehensive synergy: Drugs with different effects cooperate with each other to form an organic whole. For example, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs reduce inflammation, creating conditions for diuretics to play a better role, because reduced inflammation can reduce adverse effects on the urinary system and make urine discharge smoother; while diuretics increase urine volume to flush stones, they also help to remove inflammatory mediators and further reduce inflammation. Drugs that promote blood circulation and blood stasis and regulate qi and blood guarantee the functional state of the entire body and the local human body, promote the efficacy of other drugs, and jointly promote the discharge of stones.

[0068] Efficacy testing

[0069] By establishing a stone mouse model, the therapeutic effect of the Chinese medicine preparation of the present invention on stones was studied, including the effects on stone excretion, inflammation relief, functional recovery, etc., and the differences in efficacy between different preferred formulations were compared.

[0070] In order to explore the efficacy of the Chinese medicine preparation of the present invention on calculi, a mouse calculus model was established.

[0071] The Chinese medicine preparation was given for treatment, and animal behavior evaluation and pathological morphology detection were performed to compare the treatment effects.

[0072] 1. Research subjects

[0073] Healthy adult female mice weighing 20-25 g were selected and adaptively raised for 1 week to establish the model.

[0074] Modeling method: Ethylene glycol (25 mg / kg / d) was injected intraperitoneally into mice for 5 consecutive days.

[0075] (II) Experimental drugs

[0096] Data and significance of drug efficacy in different embodiments

[0097] Pill Example Data and Significance

[0098] Data: In the cases treated with pills, the stones became significantly smaller after two courses of treatment, and disappeared after three courses of treatment. Statistics of multiple patients treated with pills (n=30) showed that the stone size was significantly reduced in an average of 2.5 courses of treatment, and the stone was completely expelled in 3.2 courses of treatment. The inflammation basically subsided within 1-2 courses of treatment, and the pain relief time was an average of 2-3 days.

[0099] Significance: The pills have a relatively mild and long-lasting effect, and are suitable for patients with relatively mild stones and mild inflammation. The slow release of the drug effect can continuously play the role of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and removing blood stasis in the body, gradually improving the body and local conditions, promoting the discharge of stones, and causing less stimulation to the body.

[0100] Tablet Example Data and Significance

[0101] Data: After one course of treatment, the frequency of urination increased, and after two courses of treatment, the urination returned to normal. Statistics of patients treated with tablets (n=25) showed that within one course of treatment, about 80% of the patients had improved urination, after two courses of treatment, the stone volume decreased by an average of 30%, after three courses of treatment, the stone volume decreased by about 60%, within four courses, about 70% of the patients had completely expelled stones, and the physical weakness was significantly improved after two courses of treatment.

[0102] Significance: The tablets are easy to absorb and can exert their effects quickly. They have a good effect on patients with urinary problems and physical weakness caused by stones. They can quickly relieve symptoms and improve physical condition, while gradually decomposing and expelling stones. This shows that the tablets have a good balance in regulating body functions and treating stones.

[0103] Powder Example Data and Significance

[0104] Data: After one course of treatment with Chinese medicine powder, inflammation was basically eliminated, and after two courses, the stones were significantly reduced. A study of patients treated with powder (n=20) found that the degree of inflammation was reduced by an average of 70% after one course of treatment, the stone volume was reduced by an average of 40% after two courses of treatment, and about 85% of patients had no stones after four courses of treatment. For patients with large stones and obvious inflammation, the powder has a significant effect on controlling inflammation in a short period of time.

[0105] Significance: Powder has the characteristics of fast absorption and rapid onset of effect. When treating severe inflammation and large stones, it can quickly play the role of clearing away heat and detoxification and promoting diuresis and expelling stones, timely relieve the patient's pain, control the progression of the disease, and lay the foundation for subsequent continuous treatment.

[0106] 3. Analysis of the Best Embodiment

[0107] The difference between different prescription ratios and the best choice

[0108] Difference: The proportions of various raw materials in different prescriptions are different, resulting in different emphases on their main functions. For example, Ratio A: 3 parts of Datongcao, 3 parts of Xiaotongcao, 3 parts of Mountain Loquat, 3 parts of Liangteng, 2 parts of Chicken Bone Chai, 3 parts of Ground Cucumber, 3 parts of Flowered Bamboo, 2 parts of Prickly Lotus, 2 parts of Ground Bile, 3 parts of Paulownia Flower, 3 parts of Black Peach Flower, 3 parts of Physalis, 2 parts of Baikema Leaf, 3 parts of Daqu, 2 parts of Jiuqu Flower, 3 parts of Huangquancai, 2 parts of Chen Ai, 3 parts of Kongxincao, 3 parts of Money Grass, in which the proportion of diuretic drugs such as Datongcao and Xiaotongcao is relatively high, and it focuses more on expelling stones by increasing urine volume, and is suitable for patients with small stones but difficulty urinating; Ratio B: 2 parts of Datongcao, 2 parts of Xiaotongcao, 3 parts of Mountain Loquat, 3 parts of Liangteng, 2 parts of Chicken Bone Chai, 3 parts of Ground Cucumber, 3 parts of Flowered Bamboo, 2 parts of Prickly Lotus, 2 parts of Ground Bile, 3 parts of Paulownia Flower, 3 parts of Black Peach Flower, The proportions of blood-activating and stasis-removing and heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs such as Zhongshan loquat and wine koji flower are increased in 2 parts of Physalis, 2 parts of Baikema leaf, 3 parts of Daqu, 3 parts of Jiuqu flower, 3 parts of Huangqiancai, 2 parts of Chen Ai, 3 parts of Kongxincao, and 2 parts of Qianqiancao are increased, which is more effective for patients with stones accompanied by severe inflammation and local pain; Ratio C: 2 parts of Datongcao, 2 parts of Xiaotongcao, 3 parts of Shanpiquat, 3 parts of Liangteng, 2 parts of Jigu Chai, 3 parts of Dicuo, 3 parts of Huabanzhu, 2 parts of Prickly Lotus, 2 parts of Dikudan, 3 parts of Paulownia flower, 3 parts of Heisha flower, 2 parts of Physalis, 2 parts of Baikema leaf, 3 parts of Daqu, 2 parts of Jiuqu flower, 3 parts of Huangqiancai, 2 parts of Chen Ai, 3 parts of Kongxincao, and 2 parts of Qianqiancao are relatively balanced in the proportions of multiple drugs, taking into account clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and removing blood stasis.

[0109] Best choice: For patients with human stones, if the stones are small and the inflammation is mild, you can choose Ratio A which is mainly for diuresis; if the stones are medium-sized and accompanied by obvious inflammation and pain, Ratio B is more appropriate; and for patients with stones of different sizes and complicated conditions, Ratio C has the best comprehensive conditioning effect.

[0110] Differences in efficacy of different dosage forms and the best dosage form

[0111] Differences: Pills have a long-lasting effect but take a relatively long time to take effect; tablets are absorbed quickly and can relieve symptoms quickly; powders take effect the fastest but may have a shorter duration of effect. Pills are suitable for long-term conditioning and are more friendly to patients with weak constitutions and less urgent conditions; tablets have a better balance between relieving symptoms and continuous treatment; powders are more suitable for acute attacks and serious conditions.

[0112] Optimal dosage form: Taking all factors into consideration, for the treatment of human stones, when the condition is serious in the early stage, powder can be given priority to quickly control inflammation and relieve pain; as the condition improves, tablets can be used to further consolidate treatment; for patients with milder conditions or in the recovery period, pills can be used as a long-term conditioning dosage form to maintain the body in good condition and prevent recurrence of stones.
