ABSTRACT
Tibetan medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine with a long history,complete theories and rich contents. As the core of the sustainable development of Tibetan medicine,the reserve of Tibetan medicine is an important strategic resource of the country. The Stainless Crystal Minrror:A Tibetan Materia Medica is based on the classic book Crystal Pearl Materia Medica. Combined with modern Tibetan medicine,it has collected and introduced more than 1 430 Tibetan medicines and equipped with more than 1 200 colorful pictures of medicinal materials,which has important reference value for the research of Tibetan medicines and the establishment of quality standards. This paper starts from three perspectives of "data analysis-plant distribution-Tibetan medicine classification". Based on The Stainless Crystal Minrror:A Tibetan Materia Medica,the database of plant Tibetan medicine was constructed and analyzed statistically,and the correlation between regional distribution,medicinal parts,altitude and medicinal properties of plant Tibetan medicine was explored. The results showed that The Stainless Crystal Minrror:A Tibetan Materia Medica contained 711 plant medicines,involving 127 families and 368 genera. Angiosperms accounted for 94.1%,among which compositae had 34 genera and 74 species,occupying the first place. There are 10 medicinal parts of plant Tibetan medicine,of which 327 species (44.9%) use whole grass.The average altitude of Tibetan medicine is 3 500 m,among which 81.0% grow above 3 000 m.There is a relationship between altitude and medicinal parts and taste Classification of Tibetan medicines is usually based on the classification of the general drug name,Tibetan name,primitive and family. The analysis of plant medicine resource varieties in The Stainless Crystal Minrror:A Tibetan Materia Medica is beneficial to the effective utilization of Tibetan medicine plant resources.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To invest igate the medication regulation of Tibetan medicine prescription of Punica granatum seeds, and to analyze the pharmaceutical property of it in the treatment of “Sanweihuo”(Me drod gusm) dysfunction induced-related diseases. METHODS :Using Clinical Notes of Tibetan Medicine ,Medicine Standard of the Ministry of Public Health :Tibetan Medicine as standard ,Tibetan medicine prescriptions of P. granatum seeds recorded in Sibu Yidian ,Yuewang Yaozhen and other medical records were collected ,and TCMISS V 2.5 software was used to analyze main indication and medicine frequency statistically. The core medicine combinations of the prescriptions were analyzed with Apriori algorithm (support degree ≥50%, confidence degree ≥90%),and medication regulations were analyzed. Tibetan medicine “Ro Nus Zhu rJes ”vector model was used to analyze the properties of Tibetan medicine prescription of P. granatum seeds in the treatment of high frequency diseases ,and K-means cluster analysis was carried out for seventeen effectiveness. RESULTS :A total of 300 Tibetan medicine prescriptions of P. granatum seeds were collected ,involving 104 kinds of main indications ,among which frequency of 18 kinds of indications was more than or equal to 10 times,including“non-indigestion syndrome ”(Ma Zhu ba) (76 times),“wood cloth disease ”(Smug po) (46 times),“edema”(Chu nad) (34 times),etc. Totally 322 kinds of Tibetan medicines were involved. Among them ,21 flavors were more than or equal to 50 in frequency ,including Piper longum (192 times),Amomum kravanh (164 times) and Carthamus tinctorius(134 times),etc. Fifty-six core combinations were obtained ,mainly including P. granatum seeds-P. longum (192 times), P. granatum seeds-A. kravanh (164 times) and P. granatum seeds-C. tinctorius (134 times). The prescriptions (13 pieces) with six flavors as pungent ,sweet and sour ,and with prominent medicinal properties such as roughness ,heat and dry effects could be used to treat “non-indigestion syndrome ”,and then included into type Ⅰ. The prescriptions (13 pieces) with six flavors as bitter ,sweet and pungent ,and with prominent medicinal properties such as cooling ,dull and heavy effects could be used to treat “wood cloth disease”,and then included into type Ⅱ. The prescriptions (11 pieces) with six flavors as sweet ,sour and pungent ,and with prominent medicinal properties such as dull ,heavy and moistening effects could be used to treat “edema”,and then included into type Ⅲ. CONCLUSIONS :Tibetan medicine P. granatum seeds is often used in combination with the isothermal medicines such as P. longum ,A. kravanh . P. granatum seeds are also commonly found in cool prescriptions ,revealing that Tibetan medicine pays attention to “Sanweihuo”while treating diseases ,which embodies the academic thought of Tibetan medicine that “there is cooling in temperature ,and there is temperature in cooling ”.
