These and other objects of this invention are achieved by providing a novel method and compositions for the clinical treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. This invention involves use of systemically administered compositions which include primary amine derivatives of benzoic acid as carbonyl trapping agents. These primary therapeutic agents act by chemically binding to and sequestering the aldehyde and/or ketone products of lipid peroxidation. Increased levels of lipid peroxidation have been repeatedly demonstrated as a part of the non-enzymatic "inflammatory cascade" process which underlies the secondary etiology of chronic inflammatory diseases. p-Aminobenzoic acid (or PABA) is an example of the primary therapeutic agent of the present invention. PABA has a small molecular weight, is water soluble, has a primary amine group that reacts with carbonyl-containing metabolites under physiological conditions and is tolerated by the body in relatively high dosages and for extended periods. The carbonyl sequestering agents are used in combination with at least one co-agent so as to produce an additional beneficial physiological effect of an anti-inflammatory nature. Such compositions are administered systemically entirely via the oral route. Co-agents of the present invention include anti-oxidants and free radical trapping compounds (e.g., alpha-tocopherol), compounds having indirect anti-oxidant activity (e.g., selenium), vitamins (e.g., pyridoxine HCl), compounds which facilitate kidney drug elimination (e.g., glycine), metabolites at risk of depletion (e.g., pantothenic acid), sulfhydryl containing chemicals (e.g., methionine), compounds which facilitate glutathione activity (e.g., N-acetylcysteine), and non-absorbable polyamine co-agents (e.g., chitosan).

The invention relates to a method for preparing blend oil and cold-pressing and extracting peony seed oil. The method comprises the following steps: collecting and dehulling seeds, cold-pressing and secondary-filtering, producing and filling the blend oil. The invention has a simple oil-extracting process and reduces the loss of active components in oil-extracting process. Cold pressing temperature is low so that phospholipid, pigment, and the like hardly enter oil, and the cold pressing oil has lighter color and lower phospholipid content and can achieve a new international four class oil standard only by mechanical filtration instead of any chemical refining. Cold pressing rap oil has high nutritive and healthcare values because thermosensitive alpha-tocopherol and phytosterols are fullyremained, active protein and other active components in peony seeds are remained so as to creates advantages for further developing new purposes of the seeds; no refining sewage is discharged in thecold pressing production process, therefore, the pollution controlling cost is lowered and the environmental protection is favorable.
