植物药对结肠癌具有良好的防治作用。姜黄素、多糖(苹果多糖、香菇多糖)、皂苷(重楼皂苷、人参皂苷)、白藜芦醇、槲皮素等植物药可通过不同信号通路抑制结肠癌细胞的增殖,促进细胞凋亡。此外,植物药还具有抗炎、抗氧化、抗血管生成、减轻化疗药物不良反应、逆转肿瘤细胞耐药等作用。了解植物药对结肠癌的防治作用及其可能的作用机制,能为结肠癌的临床防治提供更多的理论依据及治疗思路。     

Pregnant women’s use and attitude toward herbal,vitamin, and mineral supplements in an academic tertiary care center,Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background

Herbal medicine has been widely utilized by pregnant women despite the limited available evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of that practice.

Bleeding complications precipitated by unrecognized Gingko biloba use after liver transplantation

Because of its neurocognitive enhancing effects, Gingko biloba has emerged as amongst the most commonly used herbal products. We report a liver transplant recipient with potentially life-threatening toxicity resulting from Gingko biloba use. Seven days after a second liver transplantation for recurrent hepatitisB virus infection, subphrenic hematoma was documented in a 59-year-old Korean patient. Failure to control bleeding with CT-guided drainage necessitated exploratory laparotomy for the evacuation of a large subphrenic hematoma. Three weeks later, an episode of vitreous hemorrhage was documented. Unbeknownst to his care providers, the patient had been consuming Gingko biloba throughout the postoperative period. No further bleeding episodes occurred after the cessation of Gingko biloba use. Unrecognized use of herbal products may be associated with serious side effects and adverse clinical sequelae in transplant recipients. Given their increasing popularity, the use of herbal products should be routinely sought as part of the history in transplant recipients.

The Rise of a New Psychoactive Agent: Salvia divinorum

Since the 1990s, there has been a rise in the availability and recreational use of a herbal plant called Salvia divinorum. Numerous internet websites have advertised it for sale as a legal herbal alternative to illegal hallucinogens. Initial data surveying use has indicated many young adults are obtaining and using this herb for its psychoactive properties. Reported methods of ingestion for the plant include chewing, and smoking leaves or fortified extracts. Subjective effects of the plant include, affect changes, psychedelic-like changes in perception, and even loss of consciousness. Although the pharmacological properties and possible antidepressant effects have been studied in recent years, little information is known about potential negative impact resulting from recreational use, and scant information about Salvia divinorum currently exists in the psychological and substance abuse literature. While Salvia divinorum appears to be a substance with some therapeutic potential, it also poses some significant dangers as a substance of varying legal status with a potential for abuse.     

银黄洗剂治疗下肢血栓性浅静脉炎的临床疗效观察

目的:观察银黄洗剂治疗下肢血栓性浅静脉炎的临床疗效。方法:将62例诊断为下肢血栓性浅静脉炎的患者随机分为对照组和观察组,各31例。对照组在常规治疗的基础上应用硫酸镁湿敷,观察组在常规治疗的基础上应用银黄洗剂湿敷,疗程均为10 d。比较两组患者临床症状评分(皮肤颜色、患肢肿胀、硬索结节及疼痛的评分)、相关实验室指标(超敏C反应蛋白及纤维蛋白原)的变化情况以及总有效率。结果:观察组总有效率90.32%,高于对照组的64.52%(P<0.05)。与治疗前比较,两组症状体征评分明显改善,超敏C反应蛋白及纤维蛋白原明显降低(P<0.05)。观察组在改善症状体征及降低炎性反应方面较对照组更明显(P<0.05),两组治疗后纤维蛋白原数值比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:银黄洗剂治疗下肢血栓性浅静脉炎,可有效改善患者临床症状及降低炎性反应,明显提高临床疗效。
