Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of health beverages, specifically relating to the technical field of processing and application of Chaga mushroom, and more specifically relating to the technical field of using Chaga mushroom puree in the preparation of hangover relief and liver protection preparations. Background Technology
[0002] The World Health Organization (WHO) states that alcohol poisoning is one of the world's major public health problems. Most of the ethanol ingested through alcohol is metabolized by the liver, damaging liver cell structure and disrupting normal cell metabolism, producing cytotoxic metabolites. Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality from liver-related diseases worldwide. ALD refers to toxic pathological damage to the liver caused by short-term heavy drinking or long-term alcoholism. In its early stages, the main pathological manifestation is hepatocyte steatosis, which gradually progresses to alcoholic hepatitis, eventually leading to liver fibrosis, alcoholic cirrhosis, and in severe cases, liver cancer, seriously threatening human health. Although research on the mechanisms of alcohol metabolism and the pathology of liver damage has made some progress, clinical interventions for ALD still have limitations. Modern medicine mostly adopts methods such as alcohol abstinence and nutritional support. However, the efficacy of existing drugs is insufficient; in severe cases, glucocorticoids and metoprolol can be added for intervention, but all of these have significant side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine records alcoholic liver damage under the categories of "alcohol jaundice," "alcohol disease," and "alcohol accumulation." The Compendium of Materia Medica states that "a small amount of alcohol can harmonize qi and blood, while excessive drinking can kill instantly," suggesting that moderate alcohol consumption can relax muscles, dispel cold, and regulate qi and blood, while excessive drinking damages the liver, spleen, and other internal organs, potentially leading to liver damage over time. Based on the pathogenesis, clinical treatment for this condition often focuses on "treating the spleen," combining strengthening the body's resistance with eliminating pathogenic factors, and adding medications to detoxify the liver and aid digestion. Therefore, exploring natural or synthetic active ingredients and developing efficient and safe strategies for detoxifying the liver and relieving alcohol poisoning has become an important direction in current pharmacological and nutritional research.
[0003] In recent years, zebrafish (*Danio rerio*) has emerged as a novel vertebrate model organism, demonstrating unique advantages in liver disease research. Its transparent embryos, short developmental cycle, and highly conserved genes (over 70% homology with humans), coupled with its liver tissue structure highly similar to that of mammals, provide an ideal platform for high-throughput drug screening and pathological mechanism analysis. Furthermore, zebrafish larvae can be directly exposed to ethanol and drug molecules in the aquatic environment, facilitating real-time observation of the dynamic process of liver injury and repair effects, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional mammalian models in terms of real-time imaging and operational convenience. Studies have shown that the zebrafish ethanol metabolism pathway is highly similar to that of humans, and the expression patterns of key enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) can effectively mimic the human alcohol metabolism process. It is noteworthy that traditional medicinal and edible plant resources have attracted significant attention in the field of hangover relief and liver protection. Chamaegu (Brassicarapa L.), also known as turnip, is a cruciferous plant rich in glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, polyphenols, and vitamins. Its pulp is often used in traditional medicine to relieve alcohol poisoning and protect liver function.
[0004] Chamaegu is a common vegetable consumed by various ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China, and is widely cultivated in the region. Its tubers are eaten cooked or used to make pickled vegetables. Studies have shown that Chamaegu contains vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, crude fiber, linoleic acid, flavonoids, and various amino acids. The Ming Dynasty medical text *Compendium of Materia Medica* records that Chamaegu's roots and leaves are "bitter, warm, and non-toxic, benefiting the five internal organs." Chamaegu polysaccharides possess anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and immune-enhancing properties. Feng Qi analyzed the hepatoprotective effects of Chamaegu extract using an in vitro model of alcoholic liver injury induced by ethanol in HepG2 cells, finding that it significantly inhibited ethanol-induced proliferative toxicity. Kong Hanrui's research found that BRCpe combined with cisplatin synergistically inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells and promoted HepG2 cell apoptosis. The mechanism may be that the two synergistically activate the mitochondrial signaling pathway, enhancing the sensitivity of cisplatin to tumor cells, providing a scientific basis and theoretical foundation for using Chamaegu polysaccharides as an adjuvant drug for treating liver cancer or as a chemosensitizer for cisplatin. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a natural product that can alleviate alcoholic liver damage without toxic side effects, and to verify its functional properties. Currently, the main production method is to process Chamaegu (a type of medicinal herb) into liquid beverages, solid beverages, tablets, and sauces. Extracts from Chamaegu roots have been made into "Chamaegu Honey Paste" and "Chamaegu Capsules" for use in adjuvant immunotherapy of tumors. Domestically, a series of related oral liquids, capsules, honey pastes, and essential oils have also been developed, and acute toxicity tests on Chamaegu Honey Paste have been completed.

The samples were administered water-soluble solutions at the concentrations specified in the appendix. Figure 7 As shown, the positive control RU21 was at a concentration of 100 µg / mL. A normal control group and a model control group were also set up, with a volume of 3 mL per well. Except for the normal control group, all other experimental groups were treated with anhydrous ethanol to establish a zebrafish alcoholic fatty liver model. After treatment at 28℃ for 1 day, the zebrafish were fixed with 4% histocellular fixative. Following a series of steps including dehydration, embedding, sectioning, and staining, the zebrafish underwent histopathological H&E staining analysis. The impact of the samples on the zebrafish liver tissue structure was evaluated through histopathological analysis.
[0032] Under the above experimental conditions, the liver cells of zebrafish in the normal control group were tightly arranged, with intact cell structure, clear outline, regular nucleus size and shape, and no fatty vacuoles were observed. In the model control group, the liver cells were disordered, with incomplete cell structure, significantly increased internuclear distance, and obvious fatty vacuoles, as indicated by the black arrows, indicating successful model establishment. Compared with the model control group, the positive control group (RU21 100 μg / mL) showed a significant reduction in fatty vacuoles and a smaller internuclear distance in liver tissue, indicating that RU21 has an ameliorative effect on alcoholic fatty liver. The groups treated with Chamaegu extract at concentrations of 0.781, 1.56, and 3.12 μL / mL also showed a significant reduction in fatty vacuoles and a smaller internuclear distance in liver tissue, indicating that Chamaegu extract has an ameliorative effect on alcoholic fatty liver. In conclusion, Chamaegu extract has a detoxifying and liver-protective effect, specifically manifested in liver tissue recovery. (See attached figure) Figure 7 Appendix Figure 7 The red dashed box in the middle represents the liver area being analyzed, and the black arrow points to the fatty vacuoles.
