The invention discloses a qi-tonifying,
lung-ventilating and
phlegm-eliminating
traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating
acute respiratory distress syndrome. The qi-tonifying,
lung-ventilating and
phlegm-eliminating
traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from the following
traditional Chinese medicine raw materials: ephedra,
astragalus membranaceus,
gypsum, roasted rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalae, fructus forsythiae, rhizoma pinellinae praeparata, almond, divaricate
saposhnikovia root and liquorice. Chemical components in the traditional Chinese
medicine composition of the qi-tonifying,
lung-ventilating and
phlegm-eliminating decoction are analyzed on the basis of UPLC-Q / TOF-MS, and 233 compounds including 57 flavonoids, 10 phenylpropanoids, 15
unsaturated fatty acid components, 20 triterpenoids, 14
terpene chemical components, 16
alkaloid components, 8 saturated fatty acids, 14 glycosides, 12 tannins, 2
monosaccharide components and 13
steroid components are identified. 13
amino acid components, 4 alkanes, and 35 alkanes in other classes. In addition, an
ARDS mouse model induced by LPS and POLY (I: C) mixed nasal dripping is adopted to evaluate the
curative effect of the traditional Chinese
medicine composition on the
ARDS, experimental results show that the qi-tonifying lung-diffusing phlegm-eliminating decoction can remarkably improve
pulmonary edema and lung
pathological injury of the model mouse, serum biochemical index results show that the qi-tonifying lung-diffusing phlegm-eliminating decoction can reduce
inflammatory factors and
oxidative stress, and the
curative effect of the traditional Chinese
medicine composition on the
ARDS is improved. The functions of neutrophil are improved, and the traditional Chinese medicine composition has a remarkable effect of treating the
acute respiratory distress syndrome.
