The efficacy and function of the herb

1. Anti-pathogenic microorganisms: Various in vitro antibacterial test methods have proved that the fresh juice, decoction, decoction alcohol extract, etc. of this product have obvious antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, hemolytic Streptococcus, Catarrhalis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Shigella schrenkieri, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enteritidis, Salmonella choleraesuis, etc. The extracts of Herba Dijincao injection and Herba Dijincao tannin removal also have antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The flavonoids contained in this product have a strong broad-spectrum antibacterial effect in vitro. At a concentration of 0.002-0.63 mg/ml, they have a significant inhibitory effect on 20 common pathogens. At 0.005-1.25 mg/ml, they have a bactericidal effect. The MIC for Staphylococcus aureus is 0.005 mg/ml, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 0.32 mg/ml, and Shigella dysenteriae is 0.16-0.63 mg/ml. However, after 30 minutes of incubation of flavonoids with mouse whole blood, rabbit red blood cells or serum, the antibacterial effect is greatly weakened. However, when mice sc flavonoids, their urine can have a significant antibacterial effect. Gallic acid and quercetin isolated from Herba Dijin also have a significant antibacterial effect. In addition, Herba Dijin decoction has a certain inhibitory effect on Leptospira. Mixing 0.125 mg/embryo of flavonoids with the virus in vitro and then inoculating them, or first inoculating the virus with a dose of 1 mg/embryo and then administering the drug for treatment, are both effective against chicken embryo infection caused by Asian influenza virus A.

2. Detoxification effect: Herba Euphorbiae not only has a strong inhibitory effect on Corynebacterium diphtheriae, but also has a significant neutralizing effect on Corynebacterium diphtheriae exotoxin. Experiments have shown that 100, 50 and 25% Herba Euphorbiae tinctures and diphtheria exotoxin injected subcutaneously into guinea pigs after 30 minutes of low temperature exposure all have a significant neutralizing effect on diphtheria exotoxin of IMLD or aMLD, and can reduce animal mortality, but the decoction has no significant effect.

3. Hemostatic effect: When the herb was not used topically, it had a hemostatic effect on the bleeding from femoral artery incision in experimental dogs.

4. Alleviate the toxic effect of 666 on mouse tissue pathology: 14% industrial 666 at 200ppm can cause serious damage to the heart, liver, spleen and kidney tissues of animals. Vitamin C 4000ppm can reduce the tissue lesions caused by 666, and Herba Dichroicae can prevent the damage of 666 to various tissues. At the same time, long-term feeding of Herba Dichroicae can cause mild granular degeneration in the liver and myocardium of experimental animals, but has no effect on the kidneys, but has an exciting effect on the spleen and liver hematopoietic system. Lymphocytes and primitive blasts increase.
