Progress in Sino US cooperation: natural extracts can prevent and treat haze related diseases

Recently, through the joint research of Chinese and American scientists on "prevention and treatment of haze related diseases by natural extracts", it has been confirmed that some natural extracts, especially traditional Chinese herbal extracts, have a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of specific haze related diseases This new progress will be published in the Journal of Clinical Dermatology & Therapy on June 24, 2016, entitled "optimistic stress in acne vulgaris" Under the guidance of Professor Sam Li, deputy director of the Institute of Dermatology, Massachusetts General Hospital Affiliated to Harvard University, this research project comprehensively analyzes and proposes a new pathogenic mechanism of environmental related dermatosis - stubborn acne: heavy metals in the environment can induce skin cells to produce a large number of free radicals, thus inducing the secretion of deep inflammatory factors and the infiltration of inflammatory cells, and a group of them are called As "Th17", inflammatory cells play an important role in chronic inflammation of skin Natural extracts, especially some traditional Chinese herbal extracts, such as Polygonum cuspidatum extract, curcuma zedoary extract and dandelion extract, can significantly inhibit the formation and recurrence of chronic inflammation of skin cells In addition, zedoary turmeric extract has a specific inhibitory effect on inflammatory diseases of Gynecology, and has a significant antiviral effect on the proliferation of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is closely related to cervical cancer In this transnational cooperation project, Professor Zhang Yaochen of the people's Hospital of Peking University, Dr Jiang Min of Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, Dr Wang Min of BRI Research Institute of the United States, and Gong Xue, vice president of research and development of Shanghai Xirui health technology company, actively participated in the research of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine in China and conducted in-depth molecular level exploration for the integration of Chinese and Western medicine Professor samley said: "Tu Youyou, a Chinese scientist, has long been committed to the research on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and has created and developed a new antimalarial drug - artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, which has won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 2015 This fully shows that traditional Chinese Medicine is a great treasure house Scientists around the world should strive to explore and organically integrate Chinese and Western medicine Combination, complementary advantages In this Sino-U.S cooperative research project, a variety of natural extracts from traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese herbs have shown statistically significant antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities It is hoped that in the future, it can carry out further cross-border and interdisciplinary cooperative research with China's famous institutions of higher learning and research institutes, so as to provide more theoretical basis and innovative inventions for the resistance to human environment related diseases " After sponsoring the 11th International Conference on environmental medicine and the 13th International Conference on heavy metal biomedicine sponsored by the National Institutes of health and Jackson State University, China haze prevention control (CHPC) and beauty restoration Institute, LLC once again, BRI) and Xirui Health Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd jointly support the research project Mr Zhang Boyang, President of China haze prevention and Control Association, further said: CHPC will continue to support and promote more transnational academic exchanges and research in the future, hoping to play a greater role in haze prevention and control, environmental medicine, heavy metal biomedicine and human health exploration.
