Effects and Functions of Hancosay
Hancosay, as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, has been recorded in many medical classics such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" due to its unique pharmacological activity. Modern research has found that it contains apigenin, flavonoids, and other active ingredients, showing significant effects in hemostasis, antibacterial, antispasmodic, and anticancer aspects. This article systematically analyzes the medicinal value of Hancosay through pharmacological experiment data and clinical application cases.
Four Core Medicinal Effects of Hancosay
1. Bidirectional Regulation of Wound Hemostasis and Blood Activation
Hancosay extract can shorten the prothrombin time by 40%, and has a rapid hemostatic effect on gastrointestinal bleeding and traumatic bleeding. The contained gallic acid achieves hemostasis by activating platelet aggregation, while the danshensu component promotes blood circulation, forming a unique characteristic of "hemostasis without blood stasis."
2. Broad-spectrum Antibacterial Mechanism
Laboratory data show that the water decoction of Hancosay has an antibacterial zone of 18mm against Staphylococcus aureus (at a concentration of 20%), and the inhibition rate against Escherichia coli and Candida albicans exceeds 75%. Its antibacterial active substances can destroy the integrity of bacterial cell membranes and enhance the phagocytic function of macrophages at the same time.
3. Clinical Application of Smooth Muscle Antispasmodic
The apigenin in Hancosay has an antispasmodic rate of 82% on gastrointestinal smooth muscles, reducing muscle contraction frequency by inhibiting calcium ion influx. Clinically applied in the treatment of gastric ulcers, it can lead to a 3-5-day advance in pain relief time for patients and increase the ulcer healing rate by 35%.
4. Research on Anticancer Active Components
The多糖 (polysaccharides) in Hancosay have an inhibitory rate IC50 value of 45μg/ml on the proliferation of liver cancer HepG2 cells, and the rate of induced tumor cell apoptosis reaches 68%. When used in combination with chemotherapy, it can reduce the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin by 35% and significantly improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
Hancosay, as a treasure trove of natural medicines, has its hemostatic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, and anticancer effects verified by modern medicine. It is recommended to follow the doctor's guidance when using it, and caution is advised for pregnant women and patients with coagulation disorders. With the advancement of active ingredient isolation technology, Hancosay will show greater potential in the fields of tumor adjuvant therapy and the development of new antibacterial drugs.
