Progress of Periostacum Cicadae and Their Combination Treatment of Asthma

This topic systematically analyzed the research progresses of the treatment of Periostacum Cicadae and their combination in asthma.Presented a review of mechanism of Periostacum Cicadae and their combination in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of asthma,Periostacum Cicadae and their combination in dispel coldness,antispasmodic asthma,decrease coldness and activating blood,eliminating phlegm,lung and liver or kidney simultaneous treatment,combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine and other treatment methods of asthma on the basis of consulting plenty of domestic and foreign literature.Ancient and modern application proved that Periostacum Cicadae and their combination has better pharmacological effects in anti-convulsant,antipyretic,analgesic,immunosuppressive and anti-allergic,especially cough and phlegm,relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm.As a orthodox medicine,it has attracted widespread interest of researchers and been proved a significant effect in asthma by a large number of reports.But all the achievements which are gained are summaries of personal experiences and lack standardized observation,safety evaluation process and objective evaluation standard,or is more limited in the indicators of the relevance of modern medical research.So they can't be good to clarify the specific treatment mechanism of asthma.Chantui with rich source and good therapeutic effect is a natural security animal drug.We should accelerate its modern pharmacological research and provide a theoretical basis to the future studies of clinical uses.
