Experts confirmed that Chinese medicine such as lily can help discharge PM2.5 nanoparticles

Li Chunqi, the first batch of “Millions of Planners” experts in the country, and the research team confirmed with zebrafish technology that Chinese herbal ingredients such as lily help the organism to excrete pm2.5 nanoparticles, or to some extent reduce the damage caused by haze to the body. . On the 15th, the application of zebrafish technology in the clinical research of drugs and health foods was approved by the expert group in Hangzhou.

Li Chunqi introduced that in the experiment, the researchers first injected impurities of pm2.5-like nanoparticles into the body-permeable zebrafish, and the nanoparticles gradually spread into the zebrafish and spread to the organs and blood. The researchers then used the zebrafish model to screen a variety of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and found that a group containing several Chinese herbal ingredients such as lily could increase the number of nanoparticles excreted by zebrafish. "Experimental results show that our traditional Chinese medicine ingredients can make the nanoparticles in the blood enter the intestine and then excrete from the body, which can also increase the number of macrophages in the body and phagocytose the nanoparticles." Li Chunqi said. The research results have been published in internationally renowned journals such as Nanomedicine and Nano Toxicology.
