ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread across the globe, posing an enormous threat to public health and safety. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), in combination with Western medicine (WM), has made important and lasting contributions in the battle against COVID-19. In this review, updated clinical effects and potential mechanisms of TCM, presented in newly recognized three distinct phases of the disease, are summarized and discussed. By integrating the available clinical and preclinical evidence, the efficacies and underlying mechanisms of TCM on COVID-19, including the highly recommended three Chinese patent medicines and three Chinese medicine formulas, are described in a panorama. We hope that this comprehensive review not only provides a reference for health care professionals and the public to recognize the significant contributions of TCM for COVID-19, but also serves as an evidence-based in-depth summary and analysis to facilitate understanding the true scientific value of TCM.
ABSTRACT
In the occupational production and the daily life,the pollutant of pesticides may enter our bodies through the skincontact,the breath and the gastrointestinal absorption and so on. It may cause the reproductive organ and the spermatogenic cell damaged,abnormal endocrine function and the reproduction related genes expressed abnormally,resulting to abnormal spermatogenesis,which leads to oligospermia,asthenospermia,teratospermia and azoospermia. In order to look for a normal pattern and investigate the intrinsic mechanism of the cytotoxicity to the spermatogenic cell correlated with the pesticide pollution,it is necessary to review the relationship between the toxicity of pesticide pollutant and the abnormity of male spermatogenic cell,which will provide some basic information for preventing and controlling the reproductive toxicity of pesticides and ensuring the reproduction healthy of people.
