Abstract:
Neurological diseases are common and frequent in clinical practices, which are the main reasons that affect the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients seriously. Tianma Goutengyin (TGY) is from the New Significance of Patterns and Treatment in Miscellaneous Diseases, which was compiled by a famous doctor, HU Guangci. TGY is widely used in clinical practice and has the effects of calming the liver and calming the wind, clearing heat and activating the blood, tranquilization, and nourishing the liver and kidneys. Clinical studies have confirmed that modified TGY can be used either alone or in combination with acupuncture or western medicine to treat dementia, headache, vertigo, hypertension, insomnia, Parkinson's disease, stroke, epilepsy, and other common neurological diseases, with significant curative effect, few side effects, and high safety. The main active constituents of single flavor drugs in the composition of TGY mainly include gastrodin, gastrodia elata blume polysaccharides, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, rhynchophylline, baicalein, leonurine, stachydrine, geniposide, 2,3,5,4,-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-Ο-β-D-glucoside, pinoresinol diglucoside, pachymic acid, β-ecdysteroid, avicularin, etc. It has been found that TGY and these constituents have the effects of ferroptosis inhibition, anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammation, and oxidation resistance, and they can regulate neurotransmitters and autophagy, reduce cerebral edema reduction, lower blood lipid and blood pressure, and improve blood circulation through multiple targets and pathways. This paper reviewed the clinical application of and the mechanism of the whole prescription and single flavor drugs of TGY in the treatment of neurological diseases, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of TGY and offer ideas for the follow-up mechanism research of this prescription.
