Plasma oxidation methods have emerged as feasible techniques for effective decomposition of toxic organic pollutants. This study examined the performance of a plasma reactor operated in a dielectric barrier discharge（DBD） to degrade the effluent from R. aconiti processing. The effects of treatment time, discharge voltage, initial pH value and the feeding gas for the reactor on the degradation of this TCM wastewater were investigated. A bacterium bioluminescence assay was adopted in this study to test the toxicity of the TCM wastewater after non-thermal plasma treatment. The degradation ratio of the main toxic component was 87.77% after 60 min treatment with oxygen used as feed gas and it was 99.59% when the initial p H value was 8.0. High discharge voltage and alkaline solution environment were beneficial for improving the degradation ratio. The treatment process was found to be capable of reducing the toxicity of the wastewater to a low level or even render it non-toxic. These experimental results suggested that the DBD plasma method may be a competitive technology for primary decomposition of biologically undegradable toxic organic pollutants in TCM wastewater.展开更多

When stir-frying medicinal materials, no auxiliary materials are added, and only equipment is used to control the stir-frying temperature. Through stir-frying, expected changes in the appearance, smell and medicinal properties of the medicinal materials are promoted, and the application value of the Chinese medicinal materials is improved. In this paper, the method of stir-frying is briefly described, and the three operation methods of stir-frying yellow, stir-frying coke and stir-frying charcoal are explained. The practical application of stir-frying Chinese medicine processing is also analyzed.展开更多

Methods: a total of 130 patients who were treated with traditional Chinese medicine in our hospital were divided into the control group and the observation group according to their clinical medication. The traditional Chinese medicines taken by patients in the control group were not processed with traditional Chinese medicine, while those taken by patients in the observation group were processed with traditional Chinese medicine. The clinical medication types, efficacy and adverse reactions of patients in the two groups were collected. Results: the medication types of patients in the two groups mainly included alkaloids, volatile oils, and glycosides, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The patients in the observation group had better clinical treatment efficiency and treatment time than those in the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in Chinese medicine treatment, the use of Chinese medicine processing to produce drugs can effectively improve the efficacy and safety of the drugs, in order to improve the quality of patients' prognosis, which has high application value.展开更多

Methods: one hundred and twenty patients from 2016 to 2017 were selected from our hospital as the research object. All patients were divided into three groups by the way of random average grouping, that is, Group A, Group B and Group C. For all the patients in Group A, the TCM water treatment pre-grading method was used, all patients in Group B were treated with traditional Chinese medicine before processing, and all patients in Group C were treated with traditional Chinese medicine before water treatment and before processing. After a period of treatment, the clinical treatment conditions of patients in three groups were compared comprehensively. Results: the comprehensive efficiency of clinical treatment of patients in Group C exceeded 90%, which was significantly higher than the treatment effect of Group A and B. Conclusion: the processing method of traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in improving the clinical treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Therefore, in the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine processing, students should be actively taught relevant knowledge before water treatment and before processing, so as to promote students' in-depth understanding and mastery of the processing method of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.展开更多
