Abstract:
Yinqiao San (YQS) is a classic prescription in Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases, which has the effects of pungent dispersing, bitter descending, clearing heat, and removing toxin. It is a classic prescription for the treatment of the onset of warm disease. The prescription contains ten kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, which are in proper compatibility. The ancient and modern physicians often modify the prescription for the treatment of various diseases in children, which has a significant effect. At present, with the rapid development of modern technology, the research on the mechanism of YQS at the molecular level is constantly deepening and improving, which provides new ideas and scientific basis for the treatment of pediatric diseases by YQS. Therefore, this paper summarized and collated the relevant research literature on YQS published by scholars from China and other countries in recent years from six aspects: the textual research on the source of YQS prescription, the theory of formulation, clinical application, active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacological effects, and decocting and administration methods. It expounded on the diseases treated by YQS which were recorded in modern literature, involving the respiratory system, nervous system, rheumatic, immune, and renal disease systems, skin system, infectious system, and its application in diseases such as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, viral myocarditis, mesenteric lymphadenitis, and post-nasal drip syndrome. At the same time, it elucidated the mechanism of YQS in the treatment of diseases and its correlation with antiviral, antibacterial, antipyretic, and analgesic effects, improvement of microbiota, regulation of immune function, anti-inflammatory effect, and improvement of pulmonary damage. The decoction time of YQS had a significant effect on its clinical effect, and the best decoction time for its efficacy was 3 to 6 minutes after boiling.
