Technical background
The sickness rate of gastric cancer has downward trend year by year in worldwide, but at the mortality rate of China's gastric cancer still in the first place, according to incompletely statistics, mortality of gastric carcinoma is occupied the 2%-2.6% in people's death, in the malignant tumor cause of the death, account for 23%, because chemotherapy is with great toxicity, and gastric cancer is relatively poor to the sensitivity of ray, so the application of radiotherapy is very restricted in curing gastric cancer, the treatment of gastric cancer is at present still based on surgery, chemotherapy and radiation only as a kind of means of auxiliary or palliative treatment, though Therapeutic Method is updated in recent years, still pace up and down at 20-30% by 5 years total survival rates.Even by the radiotherapy combined chemotherapy, its 5 years survival rates are also only below 30%.Existence person more than 5 years also was greatly affected for quality of life in later stage, and recurrence especially easily.So can not treat gastric cancer effectively at present.
Because the histopathology of gastric cancer is very complicated, as include: papillary adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, draw and guard against cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma and special type cancer etc., different parts and dissimilar also brings very big difficulty to its treatment and medication.
China applies for a patent CN-1352965A and discloses a kind of medicine for the treatment of esophagus, stomach, pulmonary carcinosis, it adopts a large amount of Chinese crude drugs is that raw material is prepared, though the inventor introduces multiple cancer total effective rate is reached 98.3%, but so many Chinese crude drug is formed, component and content is the branch of weight not all, be difficult in the actual therapeutic thus and apply in a flexible way, suit the remedy to the case at different condition of illness.
Baikal skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi) head is stated from Shennong's Herbal, has another name called Huang Wen, no a kind of reed mentioned in ancient books etc.According to the report of existing document, the pharmacological effect bitter in the mouth of Radix Scutellariae, cold in nature, function is let out excess-fire, except that damp and hot, detoxifcation, hemostasis, antiabortive, various bacteria all there is inhibitory action, to influenza virus, dermatophytes also has inhibitory action, and heat extraction is arranged, detoxifcation, calmness, blood pressure lowering, function of gallbladder promoting, smooth muscle spasm is removed in diuresis, suppresses effects such as intestinal tube wriggling.The acetone extract of Radix Scutellariae also is expected to become the Natural antioxidant of preserving processed food.Root, the leaf extract of Radix Scutellariae have antiulcer activity.
