Flowers vs. Devils: plants used against witchcraft in the urbanized Sonora Market, Mexico City / Flores vs Demonios: plantas usadas contra la brujería en el urbanizado Mercado de Sonora, Ciudad de México

Mexican markets embody cultural diversity and offer a wide range of products, serving as hubs for local exchange.In our study at Mexico City's Sonora Market, the country's prominent medicinal market, we explored the use of plant remedies against witchcraft in an urban environment. Through interviews with plant vendors and extensive data collection, we identified 21 plant species from 16 botanical families renowned for their effectiveness in combating sorcery, attracting good luck, and promoting success. Additionally, we documented 14 ailments associated with envy and negative emotions. These remedies involved practices and applications such as cleansings, decoctions, baths, and incense burning, aimed at alleviating afflictions and fostering positive outcomes. Notably, the Sonora Market continues to uphold the tradition of using plant remedies against witchcraft, even in the bustling setting of one of the world's largest cities. This highlights the enduring significance of these practices within Mexican society

Public health and Christian theism in Africa: An approach to evil and religious belief in the afterlife

Religious beliefs may significantly impact the effectiveness of health policies. In this article, I analyse how Christian theistic beliefs about evil and suffering, in connection with belief in the afterlife, have unreasonable ethical implications in the context of African epistemologies. Further, I contend that such Christian theistic beliefs have a negative impact on health policies, especially during the current pandemic. They prescribe one-size-fits-all approaches, which neglect contextual issues in addressing the pandemic. They also encourage passivity and neglect in the face of suffering. I then offer an alternative inspired by Afro-communitarianism, which I argue is convincing. Given that the theistic view is morally indefensible, I contend that it cannot be a good explanation of the problem of evil.

Discussion on Treatment of Recurrent Genital Herpes with Zhulingtang： Based on Thought of "Lower Energizer Resembling Drainage" / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Recurrent genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease induced by herpes simplex virus（HSV）， mainly manifested as erythema， papules， vesicles， erosion， and exudation on the skin and mucosal membranes of the genital and anal area， accompanied by burning pain， or tingling. Factors leading to its recurrence are overworking， fever， alcohol consumption， infection， sexual activity， etc. At least 1 in 10 of the 15-49-year-old population are infected with herpes simplex virus-2. There is currently no available method to completely remove the herpes simplex virus and prevent its recurrence， and recurrence seriously affects the quality of life and psychological health of patients. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the recurrence of genital herpes is mostly related to wind， dampness， heat， yin deficiency of liver and kidney， internal injuries due to emotional disorder， and dietary preference. TCM has advantages in reducing its recurrence rate. The lower energizer is closely related to skin diseases， and "lower energizer resembles drainage". Thus， the lower energizer is closely related to water and damp metabolism. Recurrent genital herpes occurs in the lower energizer and belongs to lower energizer diseases， and the fluid metabolism and qi movement in lower energizer are closely related to the occurrence of the disease. Based on thought of "lower energizer resembling drainage" and the clinical characteristics of recurrent genital herpes， this paper considered malfunction of lower energizer as its pathogenesis. Thus， smoothing the lower energizer according to the prevailing circumstances is particularly important and the treatment principle should be dispersing the pathogen from lower energizer without damaging yin. Zhulingtang （Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases） cures the difficulty in urination and thirst with desire to drink by smoothing the lower energizer. Thus， Zhulingtang was selected to treat recurrent genital herpes. This study is expected to provide a new idea for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Clinical Efficacy on Erchentang Combined with Sanzi Yangqintang in Treatment of Cough Variant Asthma in Children with Phlegm Evil Accumulation Lung Syndrome / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Erchentang combined with Sanzi Yangqintang in the treatment of cough variant asthma （CVA） in children with phlegm-evil accumulation lung syndrome and its influence on airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness （AHR）. Method:A total of one hundred and sixteen children were randomly divided into observation group and control group 58 cases in each group. Patients in both groups took montelukast sodium chewable tablets orally， 5 mg/time， once daily， at night before bedtime. In observation group， patients took Erchentang and Sanzi Yangqintang modified granules orally. While patients in control group took Erchentang and Sanzi Yangqintang placebo granules orally. Treatment course continued six weeks for two groups. Before and after treatment， the cough symptom scores and phlegm evil accumulating lung syndrome scores were recorded every week. The cough remission time and cough disappearance time were recorded， followed up for 24 weeks to record cough recurrence. Leicester Cough quality of life questionnaire （LCQ） was scored before and after treatment. The ratio of induced sputum eosinophils （EOS） and the levels of interleukin-4 （IL-4）， IL-5， IL-12， IL-13 were measured before and after treatment. The cumulative doses of exhaled nitric oxide （FeNO） and methacholine （PD20） were measued before and after therapy. Safety evaluation was conducted. Result:The scores of cough symptom and phlegm-evil accumulation lung syndrome at different time points were decreased gradually in two groups of children after treatment （<italic>F</italic>_{control group}=5.277， <italic>F</italic>_{observation group}=7.636，<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The scores of cough symptom and phlegm-evil accumulation in the lung syndrome of observation group were lower than those in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01） at the same period. The durations of cough relief and cough disappearance in observation group were shorter than those in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Within 24 weeks of follow-up， the recurrence rate of children in observation group was 68.97% （40/58）， lower than 84.48% （49/58） in control group （<italic>χ</italic>²=3.917，<italic>P</italic><0.05）. Children in observation group had fewer relapses than those in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The total LCQ scores and scores of all dimensions in observation group were higher than those in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The EOS， IL-4， IL-5 and IL-13 levels in observation group were lower than the data in control group， and IL-12 level was higher than that in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. FeNO of children in observation group was lower than that in control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）， while PD20 was more than that of control group （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The total effective rate of clinical curative effect of children in observation group was 96.55% （56/58）， which was higher than 82.76% （48/58） in control group （<italic>χ</italic>²=5.948，<italic>P</italic><0.05）. Conclusion:Erchentang combined with Sanzi Yangqintang for children with CVA phlegm evil accumulation lung syndrome can further control the symptoms of cough， shorten the course of cough， improve the quality of life， and reduce airway inflammation and AHR， reduce the recurrence rate. The clinical efficacy is better than using montelukast only， and it is safe and has good clinical value.

Analysis on Composition Mechanism of Qingfei Paidu Decoction from Pathogenesis of Cold Pestilence of COVID-19 / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Qingfei Paidu decoction has a remarkable clinical effect, which has been recommended by the Diagnosis and Treatment Plan of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Sixth Edition) of the National Health Commission and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this paper, the authors intend to explore the pathogenesis of cold pestilence of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and composition mechanism of Qingfei Paidu decoction, and believe that this formula can be used to relieve internal and external pressure and regulate triple energizer with the functions of promoting lung Qi, dispelling evil and detoxification, moistening and dampening, and purging heat by removing water. This formula is suitable for the pathogenesis of COVID-19, including cold, dryness and dampness, and can effectively treat symptoms.

A Sombra e o Mal: O paradoxo do Arquétipo Central. Um estudo da ética pela Psicologia Simbólica Junguiana / The Shadow and the Evil: The paradox of the Central Archetype. A study of ethics by Jungian Symbolic Psychology / La Sombra y el Mal: La paradoja del Arquetipo Central. Un estudio de la Ética por la Psicología Simbólica Junguiana

A Sombra, concebida pela Psicologia Simbólica Junguiana como a sede do Mal, é imprescindível para o processo de individuação e de humanização pelo fato de conter, fixados no seu interior, símbolos e funções fundamentais para a vida. Nesse sentido, como na parábola do filho pródigo, os símbolos e funções da Sombra merecem ser buscados mais do que os símbolos normais, pois, enquanto estes já estão sendo elaborados no caminho da plenitude e do Bem, aqueles estão fixados e alienados no caminho do Mal. Pelo fato de os símbolos da Sombra estarem dissociados devido à fixação e oferecerem resistência à elaboração, o reconhecimento da importância da Sombra e o seu confronto merecem todo o apreço dos que buscam o desenvolvimento da Consciência e da ética. Prosseguindo, o autor discorre sobre a dificuldade que Jung teve para inserir o Bem e o Mal lado a lado dentro da divindade e do Self, por desconhecer, até a década de 1950, que o Ego da Consciência e o Ego da Sombra são o produto da elaboração simbólica coordenada pelo Arquétipo Central. O paradoxo ético do Arquétipo Central é que ele busca a totalidade através da atuação normal e também da patológica. A explicação do paradoxo é que o Arquétipo Central almeja acima de tudo impulsionar a vida, seja através do Bem ou do Mal e, ao mesmo tempo em que expressa o Mal, propicia o resgate dos símbolos e funções nele contidos através da função estruturante da ética.

Based on the concepts of fixation and defense from psychoanalysis, which he considers always pathological, the author conceives the shadow as bigender and as the expression of defenses and fixated symbols, as well as the source of pathology and of evil in the individual and cultural Self. In this sense, just as in the parable of the Prodigal Son, the shadow must be carefully considered because, while the symbols normally elaborated and cherished in consciousness pave the way towards good and self-realization, those fixated in the shadow are the path of alienation and of evil. Because they are despised and offer resistance to elaboration, the recognition of the importance of the shadow and its confrontation deserve the respect of those who search the development of consciousness.

La Sombra, concebida por la Psicología Simbólica Junguiana como la sede del Mal, es imprescindible para el proceso de individuación y de humanización por el hecho de contener, fijados en su interior, símbolos y funciones fundamentales para la vida. En este sentido, como en la parábola del hijo pródigo, los símbolos y funciones de la Sombra merecen ser buscados más que los símbolos normales, pues mientras que éstos ya están siendo elaborados en el camino de la plenitud y del Bien, aquéllos están fijados y alienados en el camino del Mal. Por el hecho de que los símbolos de la Sombra estén disociados debido a la fijación y ofrecer resistencia a la elaboración, el reconocimiento de la importancia de la Sombra y su confrontación merecen todo el aprecio de los que buscan el desarrollo de la Consciencia y de la ética. Prosiguiendo, el autor discurre sobre la dificultad que Jung tuvo para insertar el Bien y el Mal lado a lado dentro de la divinidad y del Self, por desconocer, hasta la década de 1950, que el Ego de la Conciencia y el Ego de la Sombra son el producto de la elaboración simbólica coordinada por el Arquetipo Central. La paradoja ética del Arquetipo Central es que ella busca la totalidad a través de la actuación normal y también de la patológica. La explicación de la paradoja es que el Arquetipo Central anhela sobre todo impulsar la vida, sea a través del Bien o del Mal y, al mismo tiempo que expresa el Mal, propicia el rescate de los símbolos y funciones en él contenidos a través de la función estructurante de la ética.

A morte e a ressurreição do Messias: A Sombra, o Mal e o Anticristo. Um estudo da função ética, pela Psicologia Simbólica Junguiana / The death and resurrection of the Messiah: The Shadow, the Evil and the Antichrist. A study of the ethical function, by Jungian Symbolic Psychology / La muerte y la resurrección del Mesías: La Sombra, el Mal y el Anticristo. Un estudio de la función ética, por la Psicología Simbólica Junguiana

O artigo conceitua o Arquétipo da Sombra como o Arquétipo do Mal na Psicologia Simbólica Junguiana e busca integrá-lo como expressão do Arquétipo Central, ao lado do Arquétipo do Bem. A interpretação de Jung da limitação da imagem de Jeovah na relação com Job é aqui continuada com o reconhecimento do sadismo do Deus patriarcal, que necessita do filicídio sacrificial para transformar-se no Deus da compaixão e do entendimento, pois só assim se tornará a Trindade e expressará o Arquétipo da Alteridade. Em conclusão, o autor segue Jung na interpretação do Apoccomo a Sombra do Novo Testamento e chama a atenção para o texto ser escrito em nome de Jesus, o que sugere a integração do símbolo do Anticristo no mito, como a Sombra de Jesus. ■

The article conceives the archetype of shadow as the archetype of evil in Jungian Symbolic Psychology and tries to interpret it as an expression of the central archetype (Self) side by side with the archetype of good. Jung's interpretation of Jehovah's limitation in the relationship with Job is followed by the recognition of the patriarchal sadism within the Godhead which needs the sacrifice of the Son to be transformed in the God of compassion and understanding because only so will it become the Trinity capable of expressing the archetype of alterity. In conclusion, the author follows Jung in the interpretation of the Apocalypse as the shadow of the New Testament and calls attention for Jesus' shadow expressed in His name as symbol of the integration of the Anti-Christ in the myth. ■

Effect of single-herb traditional Chinese medicine for eliminating dampness on metabolism of uric acid / 中国中药杂志

Through literature review, it was found that there were many literature reports on the effect of single-herb traditional Chinese medicine for lowering uric acid in comparison with other single-herb traditional Chinese medicines. Then what is the relationship between single-herb traditional Chinese medicines for eliminating dampness and uric acid? How do they play a role in lowering uric acid? In this study, traditional Chinese medicines for eliminating dampness in the 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the innovative textbook of Clinical Chinese Pharmacy for Chinese medicine colleges and universities in the new century were selected as the research objects, and articles about the effect of single-herb traditional Chinese medicines for eliminating dampness in the treatment of hyperuricemia were searched through CNKI, WanFang and VIP. Afterwards, Excel(2016) was used to establish a database, and Excel screening tool was used to extract the classification statistics of its uric acid lowering effect, pharmacodynamic sites, uric acid lowering pathway and mechanism, so as to clarify the relationship between single-herb traditional Chinese medicines for eliminating dampness and uric acid as well as their mechanism on lowering uric acid. The results showed that there were 16 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines with uric acid lowering effect, accounting for 23.88% of the 67 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines for eliminating dampness. Other medicines with the uric acid lowering effect included traditional Chinese medicine extracts and chemical components. The main ways of reducing uric acid included: inhibiting uric acid synthesis and promoting uric acid excretion; mechanism of action was mainly regulating the two key enzymes generated by uric acid and the ion transporters excreted by uric acid. Therefore, it can be seen that this kind of traditional Chinese medicines have a clear effect in reducing uric acid, providing new ideas for drug screening, prescription compatibility and target determination for the treatment of hyperuricemia as well as a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment and research of hyperuricemia.

Aporías frente al mal radical: de la perplejidad a la intangibilidad de la dignidad humana / Aporias against the Radical Evil: From Perplexity to Intangibility of Human Dignity

Resumen A partir de la identificación de las aporías del mal radical, se reconstruyen los presupuestos de la teórica ética kantiana, para demostrar que éstos son imprescindibles en la fundamentación de las acciones que se requieren para enfrentar las violaciones sistemáticas a los derechos humanos que consisten en los crímenes de lesa humanidad y genocidio. Precisamente estas tecnologías de poder atentan contra los pilares de la modernidad filosófica, razón por la cual a pesar de la perplejidad teórica y jurídica que ocasionó su aparición, sus remedios sin duda deben fundamentarse en el afianzamiento y supremacía del principio de dignidad humana.

Abstract From the identification of the aporias of the radical evil, the assumptions of the theoretical Kantian ethics are reconstructed, to demonstrate that these are essential in the foundation of the actions, which are required to confront the systematic violations to human rights consisting of crimes against humanity and genocide. Precisely these technologies of power undermine the pillars of the philosophical modernity, it is the reason why in spite of the theoretical and juridical perplexity that caused its appearance, and their remedies must certainly be based on the reinforcement and supremacy of the principle of human dignity.

Cooperation with evil, the theory of action and the contraception mandate / Cooperación con el mal, la teoría de la acción y el mandato de anticoncepción / Cooperação com o mal, a teoria de ação e o mandato de contracepção

Abstract The debate concerning the so-called U.S.Health and Human Services (HHS) Contraception Mandatehas been adequately framed, in the academic field, within the traditional ethical doctrine oncooperation with evil. This principle will allow us to conclude whether employers may ethically comply with the onerous existing law or not. The discussion has been quite heated, because the practical conclusions authors have reached vary widely, depending on which interpretation of the theory they rely on. In this paper, some of these explanations are addressed and analyzed from the standpoint of the Thomistic theory of action, which is now the most common point of view. This work concludes that, although theContraception Mandatewill most likely be repealed by the current U.S. administration, as things once stood, compliance with it may have been ethically licit in some cases.

Resumen El debate académico sobre el llamadoU.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Contraception Mandatese ha enmarcado, adecuadamente, en el contexto de la doctrina clásica acerca de lacooperación al mal. Este principio ayuda a discernir si las empresas y los empleadores estadounidenses deberían o no, éticamente, obedecer a tal ley injustamente impuesta. La discusión ha sido muy acalorada, porque las conclusiones a las que han llegado los distintos autores son muy variadas, en función de cuál ha sido la interpretación de esta doctrina en cada caso. En el presente artículo hemos tratado de examinar y analizar alguno de estos intentos de explicación, desde la perspectiva de la teoría tomista de la acción -que hoy en día es el punto de vista más común-. El trabajo concluye que, aunque elMandateprobablemente vaya a ser derogado por el actual gobierno de los Estados Unidos, tal como estaban las cosas, la obediencia de esta ley podría haber sido éticamente lícita en algunos casos.

Resumo O debate acadêmico sobre o chamado Mandato de Contracepção, do U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS), foi enquadrado, adequadamente, no contexto da doutrina clássica sobre a cooperação com o mal. Esse princípio ajuda a discernir se as empresas e os empregadores norte-americanos deveriam ou não, eticamente, obedecer a tal lei imposta injustamente. A discussão tem sido muito acalorada porque as conclusões a que diferentes autores chegaram são muito variadas, em função da interpretação dessa doutrina em cada caso. No presente artigo, buscamos examinar e analisar algumas dessas tentativas de explicação, a partir da perspectiva da Teoria Tomista da Ação - que, atualmente, é o ponto de vista mais comum. O trabalho conclui que, ainda que o mandato seja provavelmente revogado pelo atual governo dos Estados Unidos, assim como estavam as coisas, a obediência a essa lei poderia ter sido eticamente lícita em alguns casos.

Inclusão e diversidade na imagem feminina de Sofia / Inclusion and Diversity in the feminine image of Sophia / Inclusión y diversidad en la imagen femenina de Sofía

O presente artigo faz uma interpretação da imagem arquetípica de Sofia como um símbolo de inclusão e tolerância. Para o desenvolvimento dessa ideia, baseia-se na reflexão de C. G. Jung em relação ao escrito bíblico Livro de Jó. Sofia é apresentada como uma força arquetípica que se contrapõe à dinâmica de Narciso, tão presente nos dias atuais. O autor reflete sobre as definições do Bem e do Mal, ideias que inevitavelmente emergem quando o tema é inclusão.

This paper proposes an interpretation of the archetypal image of Sophia as a symbol of inclusion and tolerance. It is based on the understanding of C. G. Jung regarding the Book of Job. Sophia is developed as an archetypal power that is just the opposite of the Narcissus dynamic, so usual in our present days. The author reflects about the definition of good and evil, ideas that inevitably emerge when the topic is related to "the inclusion".

El presente artículo interpreta la imagen arquetípica de Sofía como un símbolo de inclusión y tolerancia. El desarrollo de la idea se basa en la reflexión de C.G. Jung en relación al escrito bíblico El Libro de Job. Sofía es presentada como una fuerza arquetípica que se contrapone a la dinámica de Narciso, tan presente en los días actuales.

Emociones morales y políticas en el paradigma del mal: El (no) lugar de la infancia

En el campo de la filosofía, algunos teóricos han mostrado la importancia que tienen las emociones en la promoción de acciones orientadas al bien común. En oposición a estos presupuestos, encontramos el paradigma del mal, del cual se derivan reflexiones teóricas acerca del lugar de las emociones como activadoras de la crueldad. Se destaca el valor otorgado a la infancia en el aprendizaje de las emociones, pero también la afectación de hechos atroces en su sensibilidad (su no lugar) Este artículo busca hacer una revisión de diferentes tesis comprensivas acerca de las emociones, su cultivo desde la infancia y su efecto en contextos atroces (paradigma del mal).

In the field of moral and política! philosophy, in particular, in the liberal political tradition, some theorists have shown the importance of emotions in the promotion of actions oriented towards the common good. In opposition to these presuppositions, there is the paradigm of evil, which reflects on the place of emotions as the activators of cruelty in the midst of barbaric contexts -fear, guilt, disgust-. It should be noted that theses domains have given a significant value to the role of childhood in the learning of civic emotions, even if they have also underlined the harm caused to moral and political sensibility by atrocious events -the (no) place of childhood-. Taking this literature into account, the present article aims to review the different comprehensive thesis about emotions in the moral and the political life, their cultivation since childhood, and their impact on contexts affected by horrorism and atrocity (paradigm of evil).

Corrupção no Brasil: uma visão da psicologia analítica / Corruption in Brazil: an analytical psychology view

Nos últimos anos, a mídia internacional expôs vários escândalos relacionados à corrupção, que demonstraram não só a fragilidade dos sistemas políticos mas também a escala global da corrupção. A corrupção não é apenas um tema da moda, mas um fenômeno global gravíssimo que parece ter peculiaridades entre os países. No Brasil, a corrupção é um problema que oprime a sociedade, mas que parece estar diretamente relacionado à identidade coletiva do brasileiro e, para muitos, ela é intrínseca ao "jeitinho brasileiro".Apesar de a corrupção ser um assunto de discussão recorrente para diferentes campos de estudo, a maioria das teorias existentes sobre a corrupção é unilateral e parcial. Elas se concentram em apenas uma parte do problema, colocando a responsabilidade ou na falta de moralidade de brasileiros e seus políticos ou na ineficiência do sistema judiciário. A opinião do público leigo é superficial e tende a concluir de maneira projetiva que a corrupção é responsável por todos os problemas do país. A psicologia analítica pode contribuir com novas abordagens para o estudo do fenômeno da corrupção. Aplicando valores psicoterapêuticos a questões políticas, esta pesquisa pode vir a ajudar psicoterapeutas a abrir um caminho de duas vias entre "realidades internas" e o "mundo da política", como propõe Andrew Samuels. Propõe-se aqui um olhar mais atento para a relação entre a realidade interna do povo brasileiro e o mundo da política no Brasil, particularmente a corrupção brasileira...

In recent years, international media has exposed several corruption-related scandals, which have shown not only the fragility of political systems but also the global scale of corruption. Corruption is more than a trending topic, it is a global phenomenon with severe consequences that seems to have particular distinctions from country to country. For example, in Brazil, corruption is a widespread and a pressing social problem that seems to be directly connected with the Brazilian collective identity and, for many, is intrinsic to the "Brazilian way" (jeitinho brasileiro).Although corruption has been a matter of discussion for many different fields of study, most existing theories of corruption are unilateral and partial as they focus on just a part of the problem, placing the responsibility on either the lack of morality of Brazilians and their politicians, or on the inefficiency of the judicial system. People's opinion and current interpretive theories are superficial and tend to conclude that corruption is responsible for all social problems in Brazil. Analytical Psychology can contribute with new approaches to the study of the corruption phenomenon. By applying psychotherapeutic values to political issues, I believe this research can help psychotherapists to open a two-way path between "inner realities" and the "world of politics" as Andrew Samuels proposes. This research proposes a closer look at the relationship between the "inner reality" of the Brazilian people and the "world of politics" in Brazil, particularly focusing on Brazilian corruption...

Historia de la escrófula: de la discrasia humoral a la consunción / History of scrofula: from humoral dyscrasia to consumption

The term “scrofula” was used for a long time to designate a chronic swelling of cervical lymph nodes. This paper outlines the prevalent ideas on the nature, pathogenesis and the treatment of this disorder, from classical Greek medicine up to the 18th century. A Hippocratic treatise regarded scrofula as produced by an accumulation of phlegm, with a consequent imbalance or dyscrasia of the body humors. It was believed that it could heal spontaneously; but it could also soften, open through the skin and have an obstinate course. The treatment consisted mainly on local applications, incision to evacuate the soft content, or extirpation of the abnormal mass. In France and England, crowds of scrofulous patients were touched by the kings who were supposed to have a hereditary miraculous power to cure the disease. A Medieval text mentioned that scrofula could also affect other parts of the body. In the 17th century, scrofula was reputed as a frequent condition and was attributed to blood acrimony which coagulated in spongy organs. It was associated to phthisis or consumption due to the lethal outcome in some patients and to a cheese-like appearance of the pulmonary and the scrofulous lesions.

Screening of anti-aging active ingredients and mechanism analysis based on molecular docking technology / 中国中药杂志

Dampness evil is the source of all diseases, which is easy to cause disease and promote aging, while aging could also promote the occurence and development of diseases. In this paper, the relationship between the dampness evil and aging would be discussed, to find the anti-aging active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and analyze the anti-aging mechanism of dampness eliminating drug. Molecular docking technology was used, with aging-related mammalian target of rapamycin as the docking receptors, and chemical components of Fuling, Sangzhi, Mugua, Yiyiren and Houpo as the docking molecules, to preliminarily screen the anti-aging active ingredients in dampness eliminating drug. Through the comparison with active drugs already on the market (temsirolimus and everolimus), 12 kinds of potential anti-aging active ingredients were found, but their drug gability still needs further study. The docking results showed that various components in the dampness eliminating drug can play anti-aging activities by acting on mammalian target of rapamycin. This result provides a new thought and direction for the method of delaying aging by eliminating dampness.
