Take up pilot project on Ayurveda treatment: MLA Ramdas

August 29, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: Studies conducted across the world have found that several traditional medicines commonly used in India as part of Ayurveda are effective in maintaining blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Ayurveda is a traditional medical system that has been used for thousands of years in India and some of the herbs included are also used in other parts of the world. In this direction, a systematic project must be developed to treat diabetes, suggested MLA S.A. Ramdas. The suggestion was accepted by Ayurveda practitioners and experts in the field.

The MLA was speaking after inaugurating a free Ayurvedic treatment camp organised at the Sri Ganapathy Ashram on Nanjangud Road yesterday. The camp was organised inside the auditorium of Lakshminarasimha Kuteera of the Ashram by the Government Ayurvedic Research Centre and Ayurveda Academy of Chamarajpet in Bengaluru.

Ramdas suggested the doctors and officers launch a pilot project in a particular locality or a Ward and assured of making all facilities on behalf of the Government. He said that the project can be taken up on Sept. 17, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for one year to achieve tangible results for the target population, he suggested.

Modern diabetes drugs are known for side effects and toxicity while Ayurveda works by controlling blood sugar and limiting the harmful effects of other drugs. Turmeric, for example, has been used for the treatment of diabetes in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, he added.

He said new Ayurvedic remedies were still in great demand for treating diabetes because of the limited efficacy and undesirable side effects of current drugs. A multi-pronged and individualised approach must be used to manage health conditions such as lifestyle modification, Ayurvedic detoxifying and purifying therapies and Ayurvedic medicines containing plant, animal, or mineral-origin ingredients, he added.

University of Mysore Vice-Chancellor Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar, Assistant Director of Government Ayurvedic Research Centre Dr. Lakshminarayana Shenoy, Joint Secretary of Ayurveda Academy Dr. Prashanth Ghokale, Junior pontiff of Ganapathy Ashram Datta Vijayananda Theertha Swamiji and others were present.

The World Health Organization is interested in alternative medicine.
Mohamed Ismail - Cairo - DPA -
Many people use traditional medicine – but what do these methods really do?
A new WHO centre intends to explore this.
The center is based in India, a country where alternative medicine is so important that it even has its own ministry – which specializes in Ayurveda, Yoga, Physiotherapy, Greek Medicine, Master and Homeopathy.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the opening of the centre in Jamnagar in mid-April, saying: “India ’ s traditional medicine system is not just a cure.
It ’ s a comprehensive science of life. ”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Indian government is supporting the centre with US $250 million (230 million euros).
WHO President Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “The center aims to be an engine of innovation, moving towards an agenda of evidence, data and sustainability in traditional medicine, ” adding that the center would connect traditional medicine practitioners around the world and help set standards for research.
Traditional medicine is a broad field.
According to the World Health Organization ’ s statement for the center, 80% of the world ’ s population uses traditional medicine, which includes among other things acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine and herbal blends.
Traditional medicine is also represented in modern science.
According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of all drugs approved today are derived from natural substances.
The discovery of aspirin, for example, is based on ancient recipes made from the bark of the willow tree.
The research for artemisinin for use in the fight against malaria, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2015, began with the study of ancient texts of Chinese medicine.
George Rochmeyer of Cochrane, an international network that provides the scientific basis for decisions in the health field, said it makes sense at least to take a closer look at treatment methods that have been developed over centuries, to verify the reasonableness of these methods, and to conduct clinical studies on them in case of doubt.
Cochrane reviews are systematic reviews that collect all scientific evidence on a specific issue from medicine or other health sciences.
However, Rochmeyer also stressed that besides the examples of traditional methods cited by the WHO, which form the basis of currently developed treatments, there are likely many other examples where traditional methods of careful review have proven ineffective or even dangerous, such as phlebotomy, noting that spending too much money on studies to review a therapeutic practice is always a matter of discretion.
Rochmeyer stated that there are many Cochrane reviews about the use of traditional methods such as acupuncture in certain cases, but: “From my personal experience at Cochrane, I would say that I have not come across many reviews that have shown really compelling evidence for traditional therapeutic practice. ”
This is often due to the fact that when searching for these treatments we find only a few often-poorly conducted studies that cannot prove or disprove any benefit from them – which brings us back to the question of whether the already limited research funds should be invested in a scientifically unreasonable procedure – for example, homeopathy.
Professor Emeritus Edzard Ernst, a longtime professor of alternative medicine at the University of Exeter, noted that while it was necessary to wait and see who would lead the center and what it would do, the WHO press release was full of exaggerations.
The World Health Organization says it also wants to use new technologies at the new center for the study of traditional medicine — via artificial intelligence and big data, for example.
The center is expected to focus on providing a reliable evidence base for policy and standards of traditional medicine practices and products.
In addition, the center is supposed to help countries integrate these practices into their health systems.

Long Covid cure? Researchers to trial traditional Indian herb treatment

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine will work with the All India Institute of Ayurveda to determine whether a traditional Indian herb can help people recover from long Covid.

Ashwagandha, commonly known as Indian winter cherry, is traditionally used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to boost energy, reduce stress and strengthen the immune system.

Experts said recent trials had proven the herb’s efficacy in reducing anxiety, stress, improving muscle strength and reducing fatigue symptoms in patients with chronic diseases.

Long Covid patients can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, poor mental health, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness.

It is estimated these symptoms affect 10 to 20 per cent of Covid survivors and can last for one to three months or longer in many cases.

The study, funded by the Ministry of Ayush of the Government of India, will include a double-blind clinical trial involving 2,000 people living in the UK with long Covid.

Half of the trial participants will take 500mg Ashwagandha tablets twice a day for three months, while the other half will be given a placebo.

Researchers will randomly select participants to have a monthly follow-up of self-reported quality of life, impairment to activities of daily living, mental and physical health symptoms, supplement use and adverse events.

The study is expected to last for over a year.

“Ashwagandha has been shown to reduce symptoms of other conditions that are similar to those of long Covid, so we are hopeful that it will be an effective way to combat the condition,” said Sanjay Kinra, professor in clinical epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

The research is also supported by the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Indian Traditional Sciences and the Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine Unit at the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Research is the only way to ensure appropriate integration of traditional medicine knowledge into mainstream medical practice,” said technical officer at WHO Geneva, Geetha Krishnan, who helped to facilitate the research project.

news Controversy Saturday, February 05, 2022 - 13:46

An interview given by a Kerala hepatologist on the ill effects of ingesting a widely used herb Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) has landed him in trouble, with the Kerala State Medical Council for Indian Systems of Medicine sending him a notice. For the past seven months, Dr Abby Philips has been receiving several letters, with the most recent one from the Council, for an interview he gave to a Malayalam YouTube channel on Herb-Induced Liver Injuries, in June of last year.

In the video, the Aluva based doctor speaks about liver injuries that are specifically caused by consuming unsafe or toxic herbs as treatment. Speaking to TNM, he said that he referred to published evidence regarding all pseudoscientific practices and specifically some herbal drugs which are toxic to the liver. “I specifically spoke about Giloy, which is very liver toxic, based on a paper from Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, Bombay,” Philips said. He is a faculty of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL), and has authored guidelines and recommendations to specifically treat ‘herbal liver injuries’, specifically on how to treat and diagnose drug induced liver injuries.

Soon after the interview was released, a complaint was filed and the issue was kicked from one department to another. “A complaint was sent to the Prime Minister’s grievance redressal cell, stating that I was denigrating Ayurveda and causing a split in public opinion. This letter was sent to the AYUSH ministry, which forwarded it to the National Medical Commission (NMC),” he said.

The letter, pointing out Philips's statement in the interview, stated that ‘the said derogatory and misleading clause be immediately removed…otherwise the Ministry shall be compelled to initiate defamatory proceedings against the contravening doctor.’ The NMC’s department of Ethics and Medical conduct forwarded it to Kerala's Ayush department saying that some action should be taken. The state Ayush department forwarded it to the Travancore Cochin Medical Council (TCMC) asking to take specific action as needed. “Finally, I got a letter from the Kerala State Medical Council for Indian Systems of Medicine,” he said and added that the ‘funny’ part is that he is not even a part of the said council, but is a member of TCMC in the Modern Medicine division.

Philips said, “They have not identified or informed me about the kind of professional misconduct I am accused of. One cannot defame a ‘system’ or a ‘supposed science’. I have been asked to respond in my personal capacity but there is no mention of a deadline or what the misleading clause is.” He clarified that there is no separate clause under the Medical Code of Ethics for saying alternative medicine is pseudoscience. While the notice mentions a punishment clause, there is no mention of the crime committed. Dr Philips is now planning to reply through a lawyer asking the Council for proof of what his professional misconduct is, according to the Code of Ethics.

“Just this month, our group alone reported 43 Giloy liver injury cases all over India from 13 hospitals, which was also published in the official journal of the American Association of Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). I am talking with evidence, so how can they say it is demeaning or degrading?” he asked.

Dr Philips said that he did not have a problem with AYUSH being an independent body, but complained there was no regulation. “Ayush is a regulatory body which is supposed to regulate all alternative medicines and their practice in India. But when a study states that a particular herb is potentially toxic, AYUSH should make the public aware of the issue and caution them. Instead, they are defending the concern and further promoting its sale,'' he alleged.

Does India Have Patience, Will And Resources To Build World's Top Cannabis Medicine Industry?

Raghav PriyadarshiUpdated on Mar 27, 2022, 16:03 IST

Consider the size of the opportunity — today’s billion dollar global medical cannabis industry is expected to hit USD 100 billion by 2028. That’s a 100x growth in the next six years.

We’ve missed the bus once — India is the largest producer and exporter of licit opium in the world, contributing over 50% of global volumes. Yet there is not a single Indian firm that is a global leader in manufacturing opioid medications, a USD 40 billion market annually!

Unspash/Representational image

On the back of successful medical cannabis regimes in countries such as Canada, Germany and increasingly the United States, hundreds of thousands of patients are able to access medical cannabis to treat a host of chronic conditions, most of which do not have safe or effective treatment pathways – neuropathic pains such as sciatica, fibromyalgia, and cancer-related pains; rheumatic conditions such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis; neurological conditions such as insomnia, migraine and Parkinson’s; or the ever increasing burden of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression – all conditions in which cannabinoid medicine has demonstrated ground-breaking results.

In this scenario, it is important to remember and highlight that India has the oldest medical cannabis regime in the world – in the form of Ayurveda – which records over 200 classical cannabis-based formulations. While Ayurveda recognises cannabis as a medicinal plant, allopathy does not.

Thus, modern formulations containing cannabis compounds cannot be manufactured and marketed with approvals from India’s drug regulator, until clinical research establishes the safety and efficacy of cannabis compounds in treating any particular condition. The onus is thus on the Indian pharmaceutical industry to undertake the required research to establish cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.

Unsplash/Representational image

Plant-derived drugs have tremendous potential, and the global pharma industry has barely scratched the surface of developing modern therapeutic formulations from medicinal plants. A case in point is ‘Artemisinin’, first extracted from Sweet Wormwood by Tu Youyou, a Chinese chemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015 for demonstrating the efficacy of Artemisinin in treating malaria.

Tu Youyou drew inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine texts to find a cure for malaria, texts which prescribed using Sweet Wormwood to treat various fevers. Similarly, India too enjoys a unique position to build on the thousands of years of traditional medical knowledge contained in Ayurveda, to create novel therapeutics for unmet medical needs of the 21st century.

Cannabinoid medicine is projected to be the fastest growing life-sciences sector over the coming decade. Tapping this opportunity requires a change in mindset of Indian pharma, graduating from generic medicine manufacturing to R&D-based novel drug development. India has the necessary ecosystem – scientists, clinicians, researchers, a large drug manufacturing ecosystem and very large patient population – to really catapult the Indian life-sciences industry, and in particular cannabinoid therapeutics firms into global leaders.

Unsplash/Representational image

Cannabinoids have the potential to capture a significant share of this market with safer and effective alternatives to opioids and other analgesic medicines. The Indian drugs regulator has even issued regulations for a new class of plant-based drugs – ‘phytopharmaceuticals’ – a perfect bridge between traditional medicine manufacturing and modern allopathy.

Yet, seven years after the establishment of this hybrid regulatory regime, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is yet to respond with novel formulations registered under this category of medicine. It is high time we change our mindset, focus on value-added drug development, play by the rules of global pharma with respect to quality, safety and efficacy standards, and win!

Content: WHO holds first summit on traditional medicine
Cairo - Center Gate Thursday 17 August 2023, 11: 39 am
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday opened its first summit on traditional medicine, amid the United Nations body ’ s stated quest to gather evidence and data to allow the safe use of such treatments.
Traditional medicines are “the first refuge of millions of people around the world, ” the WHO said, with a summit in India bringing together policymakers and academics to“ mobilize political commitment and encourage evidence-based action ” on these treatments.
WHO President Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “WHO is working to gather evidence and data to guide policies, standards and norms for the safe, fair and cost-effective use of traditional medicine. ”
The two-day World Health Organization (WHO) World Summit on Traditional Medicine is being held in conjunction with the G20 Health Ministers ’ Meeting in Gandhinagar, India.
The summit is set to be a regular event, following the opening last year of the World Health Organization ’ s World Centre for Traditional Medicine in the Indian state of Gujarat.
Criticism of traditional medicines
While traditional medicines are widely used in some parts of the world, they also face severe criticism.
The United Nations Health Agency defines traditional medicine as the knowledge, skills and practices used over time to maintain health and to prevent, diagnose and treat physical and mental illnesses.
But many traditional treatments lack any proven scientific value, and conservation activists say the industry is pushing for increased trade in endangered animals, including tigers, rhinos and squam-eaters, and threatening the survival of entire species.
Vietnam discovers 2,000 dead cats dedicated to traditional medicine
Chinese Prefer Traditional Medicine Against Coronavirus
Traditional medicine against Corona.
Who's the winner?
The use of home remedies during the pandemic to treat Covid-infected people increased, including a green wormwood herbal drink promoted by the President of Madagascar as a treatment.
The plant has been shown to be effective in treating malaria, but its use to combat COVID-19 has been widely scorned by many doctors.
In China, traditional medicine has a long history, but major European medical bodies have previously requested that it be subject to the same principles of regulatory oversight as traditional medical methods.
John Ryder, head of research at the World Health Organization, said: “Scientific progress in traditional medicine must be subject to the same rigorous standards as in other areas of health. ”
The use of traditional medicine in the absence of rules
Of the 194 WHO member states, 170 have recognized their use of traditional and complementary medicine since 2018, but only 124 have reported laws or rules for the use of herbal medicines, while only half have a national policy on such methods and medicines.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “natural treatment does not always mean it is safe, and centuries of use are not a guarantee of effectiveness; therefore, the scientific and practical method must be applied to provide the accurate evidence required. ”
About 40% of approved pharmaceutical products currently in use are derived from a “natural product basis, ” according to the World Health Organization, which cites“ prominent drugs ” derived from traditional medicine, including aspirin, based on formulations using willow bark.

We must take full advantage of this generous forms of medicine - be it Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Yoga, Naturopathy, Sowa Rigpa, or Homoeopathy."

2 B.C. lead poisonings likely linked to herbal medicines prompts warning

Herbal medicines are pictured in this image used on HealthlinkBC's webpage about Ayurveda.
Share

Fraser Health issued a health warning Monday after two recent cases of lead poisoning in its jurisdiction.

The health authority, B.C.’s largest by population, said the poisonings are likely associated with Ayurvedic medicines and products that contain opium.

Ayurveda is a traditional medicine system that has been practiced in India for thousands of years.

“Ayurveda emphasizes good health and prevention and treatment of illness through lifestyle practices such as massage, meditation, yoga and dietary changes and the use of herbal remedies,” officials explained in the alert.

Ayurvedic herbal medicines—which include opium products known as doda and afeem that are made from poppy plants—sometimes contain high levels of heavy metals, which can be harmful, according to the health authority.

The herbal medicines may also cause side effects, trigger allergic reactions or interact with other medications, the warning says.

Fraser Health says lead poisonings are rare, but it can be “very difficult to tell” if doda and afeem or other Ayurvedic medicines are contaminated with the heavy metal just by looking.

“If the product has a label, look for a Natural Product Number (NPN) to find out whether the product is registered with Health Canada,” the warning reads. “If you are using a product without an NPN, or using doda or afeem, you can talk to your health care provider about other options.”

Fraser Health says to monitor for symptoms of lead poisoning if you or someone you know are using Ayurvedic products. They include mild symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, headaches, muscle pain, abdominal pain, constipation, vomiting or tremors. Severe symptoms include more serious pain, seizures, reduced consciousness, numbness and weak muscles.

The health authority urges anyone experiencing lead poisoning symptoms to seek medical attention and call the BC Drug and Poison Information Centre at 604-682-5050 or 1-800-567-8911.

Does Ashwagandha Really Help You Sleep?
(MENAFN- Alghad Newspaper) Ashwagandha has become popular among prominent celebrities and social media users, especially on TikTok for many reasons, most notably their claim that it improves sleep, reduces anxiety, strengthens memory and even muscle mass.
But does this magic herb really help you sleep?
To answer that we have to know that Ashwaganda is far from being a new treatment and has been used to treat a variety of ailments for thousands of years in countries like India, a traditional healing system from South Asia.
Those who use ashwagandha to help sleep may benefit from its known sedative qualities, as studies on mice have identified the chemical compound called triethylene glycol.
The compound may be responsible for promoting sleep as well as affecting GABA receptors, the same receptors that many sedatives and anti-seizure drugs target, according to a report in The Washington Post.
A meta-analysis of five randomized human trials also found that ashwagandha led to a modest improvement in total sleep time, up to about 25 minutes compared to a placebo.
This also led to a marked improvement in sleep efficiency and quality, according to the participants ’ assessment.
But while ashwagandha may sufficiently induce sleep, it should not be seen as a long-term solution.
Side effects
In parallel, some of the more common reasons why people are interested in this herb are a bit of stress and anxiety, but studies looking at this have indicated that the results are few and even mixed.
Chetty Barrick, associate director of integrative health at Weill Cornell Medical School, advised using the herb for a limited time, noting that patients taking higher doses often report intestinal side effects such as nausea or diarrhea, and serious liver injuries are associated with higher doses.
Darshan Mehta, medical and educational director of the Usher Center for Integrative Health at Brigham and Women ’ s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, explained that Ashwagandha is safe, but said the blemishes in Ashwagandha products are a real concern.
He added that heavy metals have been found in some products in the past, and there have been several reports of Ashwaganda-related liver injury, which sometimes ends in hospitalization and acute liver failure, which may have been linked to these issues.
Who should avoid it?
It is indicated that there are those who should avoid ashwagandha such as pregnant or lactating women and also should not mix the herb with drugs that can be analgesic (such as gabapentin or benzodiazepines).
As well as people who suffer from symptoms such as stomach upset and nausea after eating ashwagandha, it is best to avoid them, since ashwagandha belongs to the family of aubergines, which some people do not tolerate well and other examples include aubergines, aubergines, sweet peppers and tomatoes.

Content: Are there negative effects of taking herbal supplements?
HEALTH
Copy Link https: / / www.rt.com / t13j
Heart Rhythm Case Reports, an official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, has published a research report on the negative effects of natural herbal supplements.
Dr Elise Baclantes, in the Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Geneva, said: “More and more people are taking herbal supplements for their potential benefits.
However, their “normal ” nature can be misleading, as these preparations can have serious adverse side effects on their own or if combined with other supplements or medications, their use should not be underestimated, and dosage recommendations should always be respected. ”
The study looked at a 56-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency department after developing dizziness and fainting without warning was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder after an electrocardiogram showed short cycles of the Torsad de Pointe, rapid heartbeat originating in the ventricles, and a remarkably long QT interval, meaning that the heart ’ s electrical system takes longer than usual to recharge between beats.
Doctors were able to identify the cause of this condition as the herbal supplements she was taking to help her cope with the stressful work-life balance.
Having started a regimen of six times the recommended dose of hemp oil four months ago and recently added berberine to the mix, all supplements were discontinued during her hospital stay, leading to a gradual decrease in her QT interval until normalized five days later.
In her three-month follow-up, she did not report any new episodes of dizziness or fainting, and her electrocardiogram remained within the normal range, with no other causative factors, her return to normal strongly proved that the diagnosis linked the supplements to the arrhythmia.
According to experts, the popularity of herbal supplements has grown rapidly in recent years, especially those containing cannabidiol, which is available without a prescription, and CBD or cannabidiol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-epileptic, analgesic, anxiolytic, antipsychotic and immunological properties.
It is supplied as raw materials or as ready-to-use products (such as cosmetics, tobacco substitutes and scented oils), and does not contain the tetrahydrocannabinol that causes the psychoactive effect of cannabis.
Therefore, it is not subject to examination by drug regulatory bodies.
Berberine, found in the roots and stem bark of many medicinal plants, is frequently used in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda to treat infections, diarrhea, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Dr. Baklantis points out that the preparation of herbal supplements is widely seen as harmless, largely unregulated, natural substances.
"The exact composition can vary greatly from distributor to distributor, and the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of these substances are not well known.
As a result, it is not always possible to anticipate its negative consequences. ”

India’s pharma sector has much to answer

Published on Oct 22, 2022 06:54 PM IST

A new book on the sector concludes that many facilities are flouting quality and process control procedures. Yet they seldom face any material punishment. This must change

The nationally embarrassing reports that cough syrups made by Maiden Pharmaceuticals are responsible for the death of 66 children in The Gambia are just a hint of the deplorable truth of how drugs are manufactured in India and how poorly regulated they are. The full story is told in a book published this month called The Truth Pill: The Myth of Drug Regulation in India. Its authors, Dinesh Thakur and Prashant Reddy T, raise two critical questions. First, are Indian drugs always safe and effective? Second, are Indian-made generic drugs as good as the original?

The answer is No. To the first question, the authors write: “India is staring at a tsunami of non-standard quality drugs circulating in the market … we suspect that the total number of patients affected … runs into hundreds of thousands perhaps millions.” To the second question, they are simply blunt: “We think not.”

Theirs is a detailed and well-researched 500-page study that covers a vast spread of issues. From the way drugs are made — including the fact some companies actually manufacture without possessing a licence — through to the false claims they make, the lack of effective machinery to carry out required tests and the fact that some manufacturers are guilty of multiple malpractices without action being taken. The book also extensively details India’s dismal regulatory regime. Our regulators “rarely, if ever”, physically inspect manufacturing plants but instead “ask for a copy of the manufacturing records of the batch” they are questioning, the authors write. The guidelines they follow discourage prosecution. Worse, when matters are taken to court, the sentence is frequently “simple imprisonment till the rising of the court”. That’s no punishment at all.

Let me illustrate the horrifying situation with the example the authors offer in their prologue. In 2019, 21 children died in Jammu after allegedly taking a cough syrup containing diethylene glycol (DEG) made by Digital Vision. Diethylene glycol is an industrial solvent used for antifreeze and brake fluid. This was the fifth incidence of DEG poisoning in India since 1972. Its presence remains undetected because “Indian pharmaceutical companies quite often fail to test either the raw materials or the final formulation before shipping it to the market.”

This was not the first alleged lapse by Digital Vision. Between 2012 and 2019, “the company’s drugs failed quality testing on 19 occasions in total”. The book reveals that the Himachal Pradesh drug controller, under whose jurisdiction Digital Vision falls, told the state high court the manufacturer lacked a proper facility to test for DEG contamination. The drug controller had 19 earlier opportunities to detect this but obviously failed to do so. The authors write that the lack of such equipment “should have been spotted during these inspections, leading to an immediate cancellation of the company’s manufacturing licence.”

Now, what are the consequences when a drug does not contain what its label claims? The book cites azithromycin, made by Olcare Laboratories, which should have 200mg of azithromycin but only contains 25.69mg which is 12.85%. The authors conclude: “There is a high possibility of the patient dying because the tablet simply (does) not have enough of the active ingredient to control the infection.”

The book also explains what happens when generic drugs, which are cheap and popular in India, are not the equivalent of the original. To be certain, they need to be put through bioequivalence testing. That rarely happens. The authors conclude: “The lack of mandatory bioequivalence testing has resulted in the approvals of hundreds if not thousands of brands of generics in India and it is very likely that many of these brands have adversely affected the lives of patients.”

I would say this is the book’s conclusion: “It is obvious that a number of Indian pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are completely flouting quality and process control procedures.” Yet they “seldom face any material punishment for a crime that could seriously hurt or kill people.” This is truly frightening. But if the government doesn’t act, there’s nothing any of us can do.

India's lack of mandatory bioequivalence testing can impact the bioavailability and efficacy of its herbal medicine products.

Indian herbal products like Giloy have been linked to liver injuries, underscoring the need for better quality control.

Research on Indian herbal medicine products like BGR-34 shows promise in managing diabetes by reducing sugar levels and addressing obesity.

Researchers claim 400 medicinal plants have anti-diabetic properties

X

New Delhi: As a part of its initiatives to reduce the diabetic burden, the scientists have emphasised on exploring the anti-diabetic properties of around 400 medicinal plants to be used in making medicines based on ayurvedic formulations to control type-2 diabetes by reducing sugar level in blood.

According to the researchers from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalyani, as of now, there are 21 herbal plants, including Vijayasar, Jamun, Cumin, Daruharidra, little gourd, bael, fenugreek, neem, amla, turmeric that have been found to have prominent anti-hyperglycemic action.

Stressing that diabetes cure lies in the nature, the researchers asserted that intensive studies have been done on 21 herbs and in-depth research on at least 400 herbal plants is needed to exhibit their anti-diabetic properties..

As per their research paper, which is published in the World Journal of Diabetes, these medicinal plants have been the basis of many drugs to manage diabetes. The researchers have also cited the example of BGR-34, a herbal formulation developed by the

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which has been used to manage diabetes.

The herbal drug BGR-34 contains not one, but many active compounds derived from four medicinal herbs daruharidra, gudmar, methi and vijayasar. Apart from this, giloe and majeeth have also been added to increase immunity as well as antioxidants levels, said Dr Sanchit Sharma, executive director, AIMIL Pharmaceuticals.

The study titled “Treatment on Nature’s lap: Use of Herbal Products in the Management of Hyperglycemia” stated

that although partial research conducted on eight plants, including pomegranate, shilajit, bean, tea, ginkgo biloba, and saffron demonstrate anti-diabetic properties,

it emphasised the need for further trials.

A recent study conducted by AIIMS Delhi revealed that BGR-34, an Ayurvedic medicine, not only helps in reducing sugar levels but also addresses obesity.

The researchers also noted that several allopathic drugs used in diabetes management have their origins in herbal remedies.

For instance, metformin, a widely prescribed medication, is derived from the Galega officinalis plant, which

was historically used to treat diabetes in 19th century Europe.

Content: Can herbal remedies, spices, and dietary fibers offer effective treatment options for children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

In a recent review published in Nutrients, researchers examined recent studies on the positive effects and adverse reactions of spices, dietary fiber, and medicinal herbs for pediatric patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Study: The Use of Fibers, Herbal Medicines and Spices in Children with Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Narrative Review. Image Credit: FotoDuets/Shutterstock.com

Background

IBS, a prevalent functional abdominal pain illness, is impacted by various variables and has been attempted to be treated with various approaches, including nutrition, pharmaceutical and psychological therapies, and neuromodulation.

Infections, inflammation, distension, microbiota modifications, nutrition, allergies, and immune system activation all influence the gut microbiota, which is important in IBS pathogenesis.

The cause of IBS is unknown, but when other treatments fail to relieve symptoms,  individuals seek alternative remedies such as herbal therapy.

About the review

In the present review, researchers reviewed existing data on alternative therapies for pediatric IBS patients, including dietary fibers, spices, and herbal remedies.

The review includes randomized controlled trials, prospective observational-type studies, randomized cross-over studies, cluster-randomized clinical trials, and systematic reviews written in English and published in the Cochrane, Scopus, and PubMed databases.

Use of dietary fibers and herbs for children with IBS

Dietary fibers improve digestive health by regulating stool consistency and frequency of feces, as well as the microbiota and metabolism. Fiber fermentation generates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gases.

SCFAs promote colonic function by influencing myenteric neuron activity and exerting immunoregulating effects. Insoluble fibers (such as corn, cellulose, lignin, wheat barn, and hemicellulose) speed up intestinal transit by thickening feces and enhancing its water content. Bloating and stomach discomfort are the most common complaints regarding dietary fibers, usually caused by insoluble fibers.

The seeds of Plantago ovata Forsk are used to produce psyllium fiber (or ispaghula, water-soluble). The mucilage contains acidic arabinoxylan, branched polysaccharides, and prebiotics that promote the development of beneficial bacteria and stimulate SCFA formation.

Psyllium gel (arabinoxylan) is partly fermented and holds water within the small bowel, boosting stool production. Psyllium also influences the gastric epithelial immune function. In a previous study, Psyllium fiber, six to twelve grams per day for four to six weeks, decreased pain frequency in IBS children, with 42% achieving remission.

Guar gum is a gel-forming galactomannan derived from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus. Partially hydrolyzed guar gum is a water-soluble, low-viscosity, non-gelling derivative of guar gum.

Guar gum is a gel-forming galactomannan derived from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus. Partially hydrolyzed guar gum is a water-soluble, low-viscosity, non-gelling derivative of guar gum.

Five g/dose of partly hydrolyzed guar gum in 50 mL of fruit juice for four weeks lowered the Birmingham IBS symptom score and three subscale scores for diarrhea, constipation, and pain at four and eight weeks in children aged eight to sixteen. Improvements to the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) were also noted.

Use of herbal medicines and species for IBS children

Herbal medicines, including STW-5, peppermint oil, ginger, curcumin, fennel, and cannabis, have been demonstrated to work together to treat IBS. STW-5 is a herbal mixture of nine extracts from medicinal plants that operate on gastrointestinal smooth musculature, increase gastric secretion, have spasmolytic, choleretic, and anti-inflammatory actions, and diminish visceral hypersensitivity.

STW-5 usage (10 to 20 drops three times a day) has been shown in studies to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms by 75%.

Mentha piperita, a perennial blooming plant, yields peppermint oil, which is the main component of menthol. Peppermint oil is readily absorbed and possesses antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

Ginger, derived from Zingiber officinale Roscoe roots, has antiemetic properties and has been used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, chemotherapy, dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, and other conditions. In addition, it possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant properties.

Curcumin, a yellow pigment derived from turmeric, is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and antiallergic agent. However, researchers have raised about curcumin's limited absorption, bioavailability, and rapid excretion.

Curcumin's pharmacokinetics appear to improve when combined with other botanical extracts. Curcumin appears to be effective on digestive symptoms among IBS patients when used independently or as a constituent of herbal mixtures.

Fennel oil, derived from the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare, soothes the smooth muscles of the gut, reducing stomach discomfort among IBS sufferers.

Research on adult IBS patients found that fennel oil, when used with curcumin, improved symptoms, and life quality; however, evidence among pediatric individuals is lacking.

Cannabis, which contains two primary cannabinoids, cannabidiol, and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, may help relieve discomfort in IBS sufferers. However, no significant change in pain levels was identified among adult IBS patients who received cannabidiol rather than a placebo. Artichoke leaf extract lowers cholesterol and possesses antiemetic, choleretic, and spasmolytic properties.

Senna, an anthranoid glycoside laxative derived from the leaves and fruits of Cassia acutifolia, Cassia augustifolia, and Senna alexandrina, enhances intestinal motility by influencing the gut's enteric nervous system. Senna has shown purgative actions among individuals suffering from chronic constipation or for preparing the bowel before a colonoscopy.

Conclusion

Based on the review findings, herbal therapies, soluble fibers, and spices may benefit IBS patients; however, existing evidence is scarce.

Moreover, there is inadequate high-quality research data to support cannabis and endocannabinoid modulators as IBS therapeutics.

Studies have focused on functional gastrointestinal diseases rather than IBS, with limited sample sizes, short follow-ups, and symptom measure validation only among adults. Therefore, further research is required on alternative therapies for pediatric IBS patients.

Yemeni pharmacist: I invented a way to control the quality of medicines with artificial intelligence
I'm sorry.
Abdulrahman Roshan talked to Arabia.net about how he invented a method that is the first in the world to detect the quality of herbal medicines
Posted in: Last Updated:
The Yemeni pharmacist, Abdulrahman Roshan, invented a new method in analyzing the quality of medicines made from a mixture of herbs by applying artificial intelligence techniques, to obtain his PhD from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, for his thesis entitled: "Quality control of multi-herbal products using chemical analysis".
Results of a study published in a British journal
Discovered by dr.
Abdulrahman, a faculty member at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Aden, told Al-Arabiya that the method he followed is the first of its kind in the world, pointing out that he published some of the results in the British journal Phytochemical Analysis, which specializes in this field, and has a high impact factor (3.37) according to the assessment of Clarivate.
According to the Yemeni researcher, there are many medicines containing several plant components that have proven their effectiveness, but there is no optimal way to evaluate the quality of these products and confirm their ingredients.
A gateway to control the quality of medicines
I consider dr.
Dr. Abdulrahman said that this achievement represents a promising portal that helps in controlling the quality of these complex drugs, as well as the rediscovery of many of the therapeutic recipes mentioned in the books of the Arab medical heritage and the development of drugs of natural origin.
The biggest obstacle to global acceptance of these products is the availability of a reliable quality control method.
Significant Differences Between Modern Therapy and Folk Medicine
He drew dr.
Dr. Abdulrahman pointed out that the concepts and modern therapeutic methods differ from those followed in the systems of folk medicine, which often lack the scientific methodology, pointing out that the systems of folk medicine "Chinese and Arab" aimed to restore the overall balance of the body, where recently proven therapeutic recipes consisting of several plant extracts effective against specific diseases.
He explained dr.
Dr. Abdulrahman pointed out that this technique is based on recording the chemical fingerprint of the product using spectrometry or what is called "chromatographic analysis", where one of the recipes mentioned in the book of the law in medicine of Avicenna, as well as in the book "To the needy" by David of Antioch, which is registered in the Greek Pharmacopoeia adopted in India.
The results proved the ability of statistical models to distinguish between the preparation conforming to the specifications and the preparation not conforming to the specifications, in addition to estimating the quantities of herbs in all the samples of the study and with a high accuracy of not less than 95%.
According to dr.
Dr. Abdulrahman said that the aim of his research study is to develop appropriate methods for evaluating the quality of products made up of several plant herbs, provided that these methods are simple and more effective, and can be applied in developing countries, as the cost of access to modern devices is very expensive.
The reasons for the exodus of Yemeni doctors.
The proliferation of black drug markets
In his interview with Al-Arabiya, Dr. Abdulrahman Roshan said that the situation of the medical sector in Yemen has deteriorated significantly, especially in health care services due to the years of war and siege in all its forms, which contributed to the deterioration of the economic situation, the collapse of the currency and the increase in cases of malnutrition in front of the citizen's total inability to provide the price of food, treatment and medicine.
The weakness of state oversight bodies has also contributed to the proliferation of smuggled and corrupt drugs on the black market.
Added Fr.
Hashim said that the escalation of the conflict and the intensification of the indicators of poverty, led to the migration of doctors and minds abroad, in light of the government ’ s disregard and indifference to finding livelihood solutions that prevent the brain drain, which is a pillar of the development of any society.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Enlarge the Efficacy of Reducing Herbal Size
November 18, 2021 08: 52 Source: Science and Technology Daily
Chinese herbal medicine has a long history in China for thousands of years, and its unique efficacy occupies an important position in the world medical community.
However, the complex chemical composition of traditional Chinese herbal medicines, the pharmacological data and drug targets of their extracts are not clear, and the treatment efficiency and biological safety need to be further improved, which all restrict the extensive use and development of Chinese herbal medicines.
Recently, Professor Wu Shuilin of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Tianjin University proposed the concept of traditional Chinese medicine materials for the first time, and treated Chinese herbal medicines into a nanoscale biofunctional material through a material science method, which eradicates virus and bacterial pathogens through a specific mechanism to achieve the purpose of treating viral and bacterial mixed pneumonia.

Materials can exhibit different material properties at different scales.
Nanotechnology can extend the understanding and modification of matter to the molecular and atomic levels.
Over the past 20 years, nanotechnology has developed rapidly.
With the gradual recognition of the scientific value of nanotechnology and the continuous improvement of nanomaterial manufacturing technology, the research of nanotechnology in the field of Chinese herbal medicine has received more and more attention.
The traditional Chinese medicine materials proposed by Wu Shuilin ’ s team is to use materials to treat Chinese herbal medicines into a nanoscale biofunctional material to enhance and improve the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine in various diseases.
"In this study, we selected different kinds of Chinese tea as raw materials and synthesized them into natural tea nanodots with a particle size of about 3 nanometers," Wu Shuilin explained. "We used a solvent heat method, at a specific temperature of 80 degrees Celsius and 1.6 standard atmospheric pressure, after 6 hours of reaction, eight catechins in the broken tea were assembled through hydrogen bonds, pi-pi and Van der force. Nanoclusters of about 3 nanometers.
Then, through high-speed centrifugation and dialysis and other purification operations, high-purity tea nanodots are obtained. "
The invention discloses a preparation method of a traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterial.
Nano-granulation is mainly based on physical methods, and the effective parts of Chinese herbal medicines are granulated so that the particles reach the nanometer level.
The common methods of nano-granulation are spray drying and high-energy ball grinding. The spray drying method causes the drug extract to form droplets and quickly dry it to obtain solid nano-drug particles.
The high-energy ball milling method, also known as the mechanical chemical method, is an important method for preparing superfine materials.
It uses the rotation or vibration of the grinding machine to make the medium carry out strong physical impact, grinding and stirring to crush the drug into nano-sized particles.
Nano-drug loading is a series of physical and chemical properties generated by substances at the nanoscale, such as small size effects, surface effects, quantum size and synergistic effects, applied to the loading and transmission of Chinese herbal medicines, forming a new drug loading system.
Nano-drug loading has the advantages of high drug loading and encapsulation rate, controllable particle size distribution and long cycle time in vivo.
At present, researchers usually use polymerized nanoparticles and lipid nanoparticles as carriers to dissolve, embed or adsorb Chinese herbal medicines on the surface of the nanoparticles.
Chinese medicine nanomaterials pharmacological data and targets more clear
"In this work, compared with traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials have a clearer drug composition, higher antibacterial and antiviral activity, more accurate drug target and better treatment effect," said Wu Shuilin.
Through the preparation of tea nanodot, Wu Shuilin team found that it has a good antibacterial and antiviral effect, and then explored its antibacterial and antiviral mechanism in depth.
First, the research team explored the antibacterial mechanism of tea nanodots against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Tea nanodots slowly accumulate on the surface of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in large quantities over time, and the purpose of killing bacteria is achieved by affecting the amino acid metabolism of the bacteria and destroying the bacterial membrane structure.
At the same time, the team also studied the antiviral mechanism of tea nanodot against H1N1 influenza virus. Wu Shuilin introduced that tea nanodot can form a dense hydrogen bond network with the neuraminidase activity site of H1N1 influenza virus, which can effectively inhibit the activity of H1N1 virus, thus killing the virus.
In addition, through drug compatibility screening, the research team found that the tea nanodot and its molecular structure similar to the traditional Chinese medicine component luteolin mixed with good synergistic antiviral and antibacterial effects.
Because both tea nanodot and luteolin have good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-viral effects, the mortality rate of experimental mice is greatly reduced in the mouse virus and bacterium mixed (H1N1 virus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) pneumonia model, and the tea nanodot and luteolin are combined and then atomized inhaled for treatment.
"The proposed Chinese medicine material science strategy has overcome the problems of traditional Chinese medicine to a certain extent, and obtained higher purity drug active ingredients through clearer drug composition, so as to achieve better treatment effect. In terms of research mechanism, the drug action target will be more accurate." In addition to the treatment of viral hybrid pneumonia, there are many potential applications to be explored in the treatment of other bacterial and viral infectious diseases, such as bacterial wound infection, bacterial sepsis, influenza virus type cold, hepatitis B, herpes and so on.
The development of traditional Chinese medicine materials still needs to be explored.
Wu Shuilin said that because the chemical composition of Chinese herbal medicines and their extracts is very complex, it is difficult to clarify their pharmacological data and drug targets.
In addition, its treatment efficiency and biosecurity also need to be further improved.
Therefore, the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials with clearer drug components, better treatment effects and more accurate drug targets is of great significance.
The main difficulty in the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials lies in the development of the preparation method, that is, how to realize the nanoscale controllable synthesis of the active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine through the existing nanotechnology.
In order to realize the industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials, the preparation method also faces more challenges, including the industrialized large-scale production of the preparation method, the purity and yield of the synthetic traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials, and the safety and efficacy of clinical human experiments of the traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials.
"In the future, the development of traditional Chinese medicine materials requires further original exploration of the preparation method of traditional Chinese medicine nanomaterials." Wu Shuilin said that the development of a certain universal technology, standardizing the preparation process, setting quality standards, and providing guidance for the synthesis of nanomaterials of different kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.
At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively and deeply study the pharmacodynamics, pharmacology and toxicology of Chinese herbal medicines at the nanoscale. In terms of biosafety and therapeutic effect evaluation, human experimental evaluation should be carried out around clinical application. (Reporter Chen Xi)

Journalist Li Qiwei / reporting from Taipei
NTU and NTU research team combined bioinformatics, network pharmacology and pharmacodynamics to conduct systematic analysis to explore the pharmacological mechanism of NRICM101 in the treatment of COVID-19. It will be further used to compare the efficacy or safety of various Chinese herbal medicines and COVID-19 drugs, providing information on the relevant mechanism or mode of action for COVID-19 patients. Personalized treatment provides insights and better treatment options for patients with Coronavirus.

Taiji Daijin (23) pointed out that the study analyzed the chemical components contained in Qingguan No. 1, the drug genomic role of the formula, and 434 human genes and proteins that interact with COVID-19.
The results of the study, which screened 30 human genes and 2 tiny ribonucleic acids that can be used as molecular biomarkers to analyze the efficacy and mechanism of NRICM101 in the treatment of COVID-19, will be further used to compare the efficacy or safety of various Chinese herbal medicines and COVID-19 drugs.
According to the Worldometer database, the coronavirus has spread worldwide since 2020, with more than 650 million confirmed cases and more than 6.6 million deaths worldwide.
Affected by the high transmission of the Omicron mutant strain (BA.5, BF.7, BQ.1, XBB), the number of confirmed cases has increased, and the spread of the virus can not be prevented. Although it is moving towards mild illness and influenza, it still causes a small number of people and weakened groups to become more severe.
Shen Linyu, an associate professor at Taiwan Normal University ’ s School of Life Sciences, said that it is worrying that even after the diagnosis, even if you recover, you may still face the problem of “Long Covid ”, and some people also appear similar to“ Long Covid ” after the vaccination.
Coronavirus may affect many organs in the body. It may also cause systemic symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain, or joint discomfort. Coronavirus symptoms can appear in the early stages of recovery after an acute infection, or continue from the beginning, and the condition can change or repeat over time.
Shen Linhu mentioned that the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) complex prescription contains complex chemical components, has the pharmacological characteristics of multi-channel, multi-target integration and regulation, so it may have the effect of relieving and treating the symptoms of “long new crown ”.
As different genotypes affect the body ’ s response to vaccines or drugs, and the symptoms of “Covid-19 ” vary from person to person, it is possible to use a combination of Chinese herbal medicines according to individual physical characteristics to treat the symptoms of Covid-19.
According to clinical data, early intervention of TCM can effectively improve the cure rate, shorten the course of disease, delay disease progression, and reduce mortality. In addition, early intervention of TCM has been found to prevent the disease from turning into a more serious condition in patients with mild to moderate symptoms.
The ingredients of NRICM101 are based on prescriptions from the Ingestion Recipe, which was used nearly 500 years ago to treat rheumatism or influenza, and have been found to block disease progression and antiviral activity in patients with COVID since April 2020.
NTU said that the research team based on the chemical components contained in the NRICM101 formula and COVID-19, the impact interaction of the human genome and network pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, as well as its biological pathways, gene ontology and disease symptoms, were comprehensively analyzed.
Due to differences between individuals, insufficient understanding of drug interactions and NRICM101 ’ s response in the human body may constitute obstacles to successful treatment. Drug genomics analysis can overcome this dilemma by providing detailed and individualized information on the interactions between genes or proteins and the chemicals contained in NRICM101 and patient-related diseases.
Therefore, the molecular mechanisms and core biomarkers of NRICM101 are identified with a rich genomic database and powerful bioinformatics analysis tools to advance understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NRICM101 and COVID-19 related genes or proteins.
Shen Linhu said that the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and genomics can help to understand the interaction of genes and chemicals at the molecular level, and can be further used to compare the efficacy or safety of various traditional Chinese medicines and COVID-19 drugs, thereby improving the personalized treatment of drugs and providing insights into the personalized treatment of COVID-19 patients in the long term.
Disease analysis based on pharmacogenomics can also provide a better understanding of how the various symptoms of Long Covid patients work and provide better treatment options.

This herb is a general term of traditional Chinese medicine, generally refers to plant-based natural medicines, which constitute thousands of kinds of Chinese patent medicines and classic famous prescriptions.
In recent years, the special efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of various diseases has attracted the attention of the industry.
Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the development of traditional Chinese medicine should adhere to the correct innovation.
Chinese medicine shows great potential in treatment of many diseases
Metformin, a hypoglycemic drug often used by diabetics, was originally extracted from French lilac; another kind of Gleipure hypoglycemic drug was extracted from the bark of German willow bark; Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) with wide clinical use, the original source turned out to be apple bark …
"In the past 100 years, people have used scientific analysis methods to apply substances extracted from the natural resources of this herb to clinical applications, saving hundreds of millions of lives," said Professor Weng Jianping of the Department of Life Science and Medicine of the University of Science and Technology of China.
Ge Junbo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor of the Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, said that Chinese medicine has great potential in the study of vascular diseases.
As a traditional treatment mode, traditional Chinese medicine has the overall action characteristics of multi-component and multi-target, and contains many therapeutic potentials that have not been fully exploited.
Through the scientific study of herb matter, combined with the advanced clinical evaluation technology system of pan-vascular diseases, researchers are expected to find more effective strategies for treating pan-vascular diseases.
"Chinese medicine also shows great potential in lymphoma treatment.
In particular, medicinal materials such as astragalus root and scutellaria root can change the composition of intestinal flora, so as to enhance the immune system's ability to fight tumors.
Professor Jing Zhicheng of the Peking Union Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences introduced the prospect of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
The team evaluated the role and mechanism of 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid, an active ingredient in regional specialty medicine licorice, in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
In addition, the PDE5 inhibitor extracted from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine epimedium also showed good curative effect in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
According to experts attending the meeting, the coordinated development of traditional Chinese medicine is an important direction for the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Especially for tumors, as well as cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine chronic diseases, can be more in-depth integration, the construction of collaborative disciplines, from research to clinical level to carry out coordinated work of Chinese and Western medicine, to reduce the morbidity and mortality of various diseases by means of early intervention of traditional Chinese medicine.
Integrating Herbal Substances with Clinical Medical Research
Making full use of modern science and technology and methods to build a modern Chinese medicine innovation system is becoming the mainstream thinking in the scientific research of Chinese medicine in recent years. "Modern medicine has found that diseases are caused by many factors, and the mechanism of their occurrence and development is also complicated.
The traditional research mode is difficult to solve the scientific principle of complex Chinese medicine treatment of complex diseases, and needs to be changed and innovated in the research mode.
Based on this, researcher Liang Xinmiao of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed to build a modern Chinese medicine innovation system that “originates from clinical and belongs to clinical ”.
The present invention is based on traditional Chinese medicine with syndromic phenotype in clinic, and uses the traditional Chinese medicine to clarify the material base and mechanism of action, and combines clinical medical research to clarify the effectiveness of the clinical phenotype and its target-pathway-network-disease relationship.
Aiming at the complex system of traditional Chinese medicine, Liang Xinmiao's team also built a pre-research device for the scientific research of herbal substances.
The utility model provides a breakthrough key tool for systematically solving the scientific problems of traditional Chinese medicine material foundation, action target and synergistic mechanism.
In recent years, Professor Zhang Hong of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical School has used positron emission tomography (PET) molecular imaging technology to study Chinese medicine.
He believes that in vivo visualization of herb substances is an important support to promote the research and application of traditional Chinese medicine.
The application of PET molecular imaging technology can realize the qualitative and quantitative non-invasive living evaluation of body function based on molecular recognition and nuclide tracing principle, and is expected to become an important method to promote the scientific development of Herbal Medicine.
"PET molecular imaging technology is highly sensitive and allows for visual pharmacokinetic analysis of radiolabeled herbal drug components.
In addition, PET molecular imaging technology can also perform pharmacodynamic analysis on the nanomolar level molecular cell level of the herb drug, verify the effect of the herb drug at the level of receptors, enzymes, antigens, genes and other levels and explore the herb drug treatment mechanism.
In addition, PET molecular imaging is not limited by the depth of imaging, and can visualize the whole process of disease diagnosis and treatment, which can greatly accelerate the transformation of traditional Chinese medicine from basic research to clinical application.
In the future, we should take multi-component and multi-target Chinese medicine research as the development direction.
Although Chinese medicine and western medicine are two different medical systems, the development concept is converging.
The integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine should be strengthened, the modern research of traditional Chinese medicine should be promoted, and the clinical treatment plan should be improved.
However, under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the research on the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine should further explore the synergistic mechanism of multi-component and multi-target, and clarify the effective components and optimize the innovative drug components or monomers.
He suggested that the scientific research of the herb material should change from the discovery of new ingredients to the study of biological activity-oriented natural products, establish a phenotypy-based biological activity screening platform, and pay attention to the blind spots and difficulties of traditional natural product research closely related to biological activity.
In this regard, Professor Zhang Wenhong of Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University also believes that traditional Chinese medicine is a huge treasure, and artemisinin is a classic success case.
At present, the research of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly the research of single molecule, single drug extract or compound, and the future should be multi-component and multi-target traditional Chinese medicine research as the development direction.
"The science of herbal substances is an important way to realize the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, but the development of traditional Chinese medicine requires subversive innovation and establishes a scientific and rigorous evaluation system for the clinical effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine," Zhang Wenhong said.
Zhang Boli introduced that in recent years, in order to promote the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine, he led the scientific research team to carry out a series of pioneering and innovative work, and established a whole chain of new Chinese medicine research and development system for component Chinese medicine.
They created the theory and key technologies of component Chinese medicine, established a "standard component, group effect relationship, component compatibility, and optimized design" of component Chinese medicine R & D mode, and put forward a matching strategy of "strengthening the main effect, taking into account the secondary effect, and reducing the secondary effect."
The team also developed key technologies such as high-throughput preparation of traditional Chinese medicine components, chemical characterization, screening of effective components, compatibility activity and safety evaluation, and successfully developed 77 components of traditional Chinese medicine.
At the same time, they have carried out the work of secondary development of Chinese patent medicine, built the key technology of intelligent manufacturing of Chinese medicine with quality digitalization as the core, promoted the upgrading and transformation of traditional Chinese medicine industry, and formed the "World Alliance of Chinese Medicine" to lead the Chinese medicine to the international.
