① hypotensive effect

Guangdilong tincture, dry powder suspension, hot compress, decoction, etc. All of them showed slow and lasting hypotensive effect on anesthetized dogs, rats, cats and rats with chronic renal hypertension, and had rapid tolerance to hypotensive effect after intravenous injection of earthworm in anesthetized dogs and cats, but they were not used for oral administration and clinical application. Its hypotensive principle may be that it acts directly on the central nervous system above the spinal cord, or it acts on the central nervous system through some receptors, which makes some visceral vessels dilate, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Lumbricus B 1 has obvious antihypertensive effect on anesthetized dogs, rabbits, normal and renal hypertensive rats. At first, there will be a short and sudden slight decrease in blood pressure, then a slight increase, and then a slow and lasting decrease. It is not completely consistent with the effect of tincture, but it still retains the main antihypertensive components in tincture, and the antihypertensive effect of tincture is stronger and more lasting than hypoxanthine. It is also reported that the components extracted from earthworms can reduce blood pressure to zero and animals die. Pheretima antipyretic alkali can slow down the blood pressure of rabbits, such as intravenous injection can produce shock-like blood pressure drop. The zhili earthworm produced in Hezheng county, Gansu province has the same antihypertensive effect as the Japanese lumbricus. Haizhou Changshan and Guangdilong are made into suspension and mixed solution according to the ratio of 2: 1, which can play a synergistic role in lowering blood pressure. The components extracted from Tommy Tam by water, alcohol and acetone also have a transient or moderate antihypertensive effect.

② Effect on smooth muscle

A nitrogen-containing effective component extracted from Pheretima lumbricus has a significant role in relaxing bronchi during lung perfusion in rats and rabbits, and can antagonize the contraction of bronchi by histamine and pilocarpine. When injected intravenously in guinea pigs, 50% animals can tolerate lethal doses of histamine. The injection prepared in recent years also shows that it can relax bronchi and protect guinea pigs from asthma caused by histamine spray. It can antagonize the contraction of histamine on isolated intestinal tract of guinea pigs. However, a light yellow needle-like crystal with hygroscopicity was proposed from Pheretima, which can increase the tension of uterus in vitro and in vivo and cause spasmodic contraction. Intravenous injection or gastric perfusion can obviously increase the contraction wave of uterine fistula, indicating that this substance seems to have a stronger effect on longitudinal muscle of uterus. The crystal has a strong exciting effect on the in situ intestine of rabbits. Perfusion of isolated hind limbs of rats can strongly contract blood vessels, and large doses can cause mild contraction of bronchi of guinea pigs. It has been reported in Japan that the direct function of earthworm extract is to contract blood vessels, while the central function is to dilate blood vessels in various isolated smooth muscle organs and rabbit ears.

③ antipyretic effect

Earthworm water immersion agent and earthworm antipyretic alkali have good antipyretic effect on artificial fever caused by Escherichia coli toxin and warm needle in rabbits, but have no effect on fever caused by dinitrophenol. Its antipyretic principle: it first acts on the thermoregulatory center, and then increases heat dissipation and heat production in the body, but the former exceeds the latter, so the body temperature drops.

④ Sedative and anticonvulsant effects.

Hot immersion and ethanol extract have sedative effects on mice and rabbits. Lumbricus can antagonize convulsion caused by pentylenetetrazol and caffeine, and also antagonize electroconvulsive convulsion in rabbits and mice. If it is combined with Changshan in Haizhou, it has synergistic effect on convulsion caused by caffeine, but it cannot antagonize convulsion caused by strychnine. Its ethanol extract did not affect the spinal cord reflex and Sechenov reflex of toad. Guangdong earthworm and Anhui earthworm. There is no difference in anticonvulsant strength between earthworm viscera and epidermis. After injection of earthworm extract, the serum calcium content of rabbits decreased, but the serum potassium and cholinesterase content did not change significantly. In addition, the water-soluble components of water immersion, ethanol or propanol extract have paralyzing effect on rabbit cornea.

Toxicity It was reported in Japan some years ago that both earthworm toxin and earthworm antipyretic alkali were toxic. Guangdilong injection was injected into the tail vein or abdominal cavity of mice and guinea pigs at a dose of 450 ~ 720 times that of human body, and there was no death. The lethal dose of guangdilong injection to mice was 95 ~ 1 15 g/kg. The lethal dose of viscera powder hot soaking to mice was 38.5 g/kg, and that of earthworm powder to rats was 10 mg/kg. No toxicity was found in 45 days. Earthworms are less toxic to rabbits, mice and dogs. There is no difference in toxicity between Gansu Hezheng earthworm and Guangdong earthworm, and the acute or even acute toxicity of earthworm combined with Haizhou Changshan is not enhanced. Lumbricus B 1 can slightly reduce the renal excretion function of rabbits (phenol red test).

In addition, it is reported that lung perfusion with Dillon (guinea pig) can relax bronchi.

Processing, removing impurities, washing with water, taking out in time, drying in the sun, and cutting into sections.

⑦ Treat trachoma.

Wash several white-necked earthworms repeatedly in cold boiled water to remove the soil. Put them in a big-mouthed glass bottle, and add110 medicinal sodium chloride according to the weight of the earthworm, so that the body fluids of the earthworm can immediately ooze out. After half an hour, abandon the earthworm, filter the body fluid, and then heat it intermittently in warm water at 60℃ for 30 minutes each time, and repeat it for 3 ~ 4 times. After cooling, store it at a low temperature or in a refrigerator. When in use, dip the sterile cotton swab into the liquid medicine, gently smear it on the fully exposed conjunctiva, or put it into an eye drop bottle and smear it 2-3 times a day. 37 cases were treated and all were cured. The average course of treatment was 65438 00.4 days. Among the treatment cases, 3 cases were complicated with trachoma ptosis, which disappeared after 6 ~ 7 days of medication and the eye fissure returned to normal. In addition, 10 cases were treated with 30% sodium chloride solution eye drops as control, and 10 days had no change.

In addition, you can treat herpes zoster with Dilongtang Ointment, which is applied externally/kloc-0 times a day. The pain can be relieved immediately after taking the medicine, and the rash gradually dries up, usually recovering in 5 ~ 8 days.

Famous scholars discussed ① Outline: "Earthworms descend because of cold, so they can relieve all kinds of fever, and descend because of cold, so they can facilitate urination, treat foot diseases and dredge meridians."

(2) The Classic of Materia Medica: "Earthworms, great cold can dispel heat, except for great heat, so it can cure the madness of cold and heat." Salty taste controls downward movement, which is beneficial to urination. So treat abdominal distension and jaundice. "

Earthworms, commonly known as qu Xiang, are called earthworms in Chinese medicine, and they are cold and salty. Function: clearing heat, calming liver, relieving asthma and dredging collaterals. Indications: high fever, mania, convulsion, wind-heat headache, red eyes, hemiplegia, etc. The liquid provided by earthworm has a good cough and asthma relieving effect. Earthworm ash mixed with rose oil can treat baldness.

At present, the excellent varieties of artificial breeding are Eisenia foetida, Eisenia foetida and hybrid earthworm. In recent years, it has been found that earthworm contains lumbrokinase, which has a good therapeutic effect on cardiovascular diseases. Earthworm enzyme can not only activate fibrinolytic enzyme to dissolve thrombus, but also directly dissolve fibrin. The effective rate of clinical treatment of thrombosis is over 80%. Lumbricus also has the functions of reducing blood viscosity, inhibiting platelet aggregation, anticoagulation and promoting blood flow, and has therapeutic effects on apoplexy sequelae, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and hyperviscosity.

Lumbrokinase has been developed into a drug, which is convenient and safe to take and will not cause fibrinolysis and massive bleeding like streptokinase and urease. Anti-cancer research has proved that earthworm has inhibitory effect on esophageal cancer, and the short-term effect of earthworm combined with chemotherapy is better than that of chemotherapy alone.

Earthworms are rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, with crude protein content as high as 72%, and contain amino acids, vitamins and trace elements needed by human body. It can not only be used as animal feed and produce drugs and cosmetics, but also be eaten by people. Earthworm food is very popular in Taiwan Province Province, Southeast Asia, the United States and Canada.

Earthworm manure is a good biological fertilizer, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, humus, organic matter and trace elements needed by crops such as magnesium, boron, nickel and manganese. It is a cheap and efficient fertilizer for fruits, flowers, vegetables and nurseries.

Earthworms are widely used in pharmacy, light chemical industry and aquaculture. Therefore, the demand has increased greatly and attention has been paid to artificial farming. Organic wastes (such as livestock manure, garbage, plant citrus, sugar residue, edible seedling residue, distiller's grains, etc.) that can be used when cultivating earthworms. ) low cost and simple method, which promotes the recycling of resources.

Functional indication

Chinese medicine is called earthworm, which is cold and salty. Its taste is salty and its nature is cold. It has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving spasm, relieving asthma and diuresis.
