RESUMEN
Marine medicine is an important part of Chinese medicine and a growth point of the development of marine economy. Current researches of marine medicine had ignored accumulated experience in clinical medicine for thousands of years of development of marine medicine and the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. In this article, we proposed a research mode of Mining experience-Clinical validation-Targets screening-Component screening-Component compatibility-Mechanism study under the guidance of the hypothesis of Nature-Effect-Material Trialism to study marine medicine. Kun Hai Jiang Xin (KHJX) Decoction is a marine formula drawn from the experience of ancient physicians by data mining techniques. Clinical study found that KHJX Decoction can significantly improve the overall clinical efficacy of chronic bronchitis with good clinical safety. Under the guidance of TCM herbal theory, object presented here is based on the work of KHJX Decoctionmining experience - clinical validation. The molecular docking method and receptor-ligand binding assay were applied to screen effective components from herbs of KHJX Decoction and the compatibility plan of effective components under the guidance of the principle of cold and heat effects compatibility. This study is of great significance to clarify the material basis and molecular mechanism of KHJX Decoction in the treatment of chronic bronchitis. It provides a new research mode for marine drug research.
