{"title":"Exploring the Scientific Connotation of Gypsum in Baihu Decoction Compatibility with Heat-clearing Effect Based on Phase Composition","authors":"Yunyun Wang, Zhengxian Zhang, Haotian Peng, Huahui Zeng, Xiangxiang Wu","doi":"10.1055/s-0045-1807263","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1807263","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This study aimed to study the effects of different crystalline states of Sheng Shigao (raw gypsum, RG) and its inorganic elements on the antipyretic efficacy of Baihu Decoction (BHT). RG samples calcined at different temperatures were prepared. The phase composition of RG and Duan Shigao (calcination of gypsum, CG) as well as the changes in phase composition before and after adding water to RG calcined at specific temperatures, were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD). A fever model was established by subcutaneously injecting 20% yeast suspension (10 mL·kg−1) into the backs of rats. The effects of BHT containing RG in different crystalline states on rat body temperature were measured. Serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and hypothalamic prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were detected using ELISA. Serum Ca2+ levels were measured using a microplate method. The content of trace elements in RG and CG and the corresponding freeze-dried BHT powder was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The complexation of representative inorganic elements with mangiferin, a major active component in BHT, was investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. A validation model was established using RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. Drug-containing serum of BHT with different inorganic elements was prepared, and the nitric oxide (NO) levels in the cell supernatant of different treatment groups were measured using the Griess method. The mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2 in each group were detected using qPCR (real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR). After calcination, the phase composition of RG changed, and the content of inorganic elements in RG, CG170 (RG calcined at 170 °C), and CG350 (RG calcined at 350 °C) showed similar trends. Compared with RG, the content of Ca, Sr, Al, and Na in CG changed significantly. Compared with BHT, the content of Ca, Sr, Si, and Na in CG changed significantly when incorporated into the formula. Intermolecular interactions confirmed strong binding between mangiferin and Cu2+ and Al3+. Cu2+ and Fe3+ exhibited fluorescence quenching effects on mangiferin solution, while Al3+ and Zn2+ showed strong fluorescence enhancement, with fluorescence intensity increasing by 120-fold and 30-fold, respectively. In vitro evaluation of synergistic anti-inflammatory effects confirmed that Ca, Fe, Cr, Al, and Si exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. The crystalline state of RG has little effect on its antipyretic properties, while Ca, Sr, Na, Fe, and Al are likely the key material bases influencing its efficacy.","PeriodicalId":204577,"journal":{"name":"Chinese medicine and natural products","volume":"05 01","pages":"e35-e46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"http://www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejournals/pdf/10.1055/s-0045-1807263.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147331778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to yin-yang syndrome differentiation, the disease can be divided into yin syndrome, yang syndrome, and half-yin and half-yang syndrome. Among them, the theories and treatment of yin syndrome and yang syndrome are relatively comprehensive in Traditional Chinese External Medicine. However, the half-yin and half-yang syndrome lacks a specific theoretical elaboration and treatment system, which is a special and complex syndrome of the disease, limiting the improvement of the clinical efficacy of the disease. The core pathogenesis of GM with half-yin and half-yang syndrome is “obstruction of nutritive and defensive phases, and yin-yang obstruction.” The clinical features are local yin syndrome complicated with yang syndrome, and the disease is lingering and difficult to cure. For syndrome differentiation, it is advisable to “attach more importance to the local while less importance to the whole body.” The treatment should be based on the general principle of “eliminating yin and transforming yang.” For the use of herbs, it is recommended to adopt the methods of “the combination of the herbs in cold and warm nature, mainly with herbs in warm nature, attaching more importance to use the herbs with the function of ascending and less to descending.” Finally, restore the normal circulation of qi and blood as well as the balance of yin and yang to achieve the purpose of treatment.","PeriodicalId":204577,"journal":{"name":"Chinese medicine and natural products","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134995482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
