Preliminary observation 175 cases, all over 50 years old, were clinically cured 1 1 case after taking medicine for1~ 2 weeks, with 33 cases marked and 92 cases improved, with a total effective rate of 77.7%. The curative effect of taking medicine for 2 weeks is better than taking medicine 1 week; The curative effect of good constitution is more remarkable than that of poor constitution. No adverse reactions were observed during the medication except for a few cases of epigastric discomfort. In addition, 20 cases of chronic bronchitis were treated by subcutaneous injection of plantain tissue extract with 2 ml each time. Generally, cough and expectoration were relieved after injection of 10, and they were cured after a course of treatment (30 days). Someone tried 60% plantain decoction (20 ~ 40ml each time, three times a day), and treated 67 patients with cough (most of them were chronic bronchitis, and most of them coughed more than 1 week or failed to take western medicine). As a result, 40 patients improved, 5 patients improved significantly, and 1 1 case was cured. 2. For the treatment of acute and chronic bacillary dysentery, 1 00% decoction is made of fresh leaves of Plantago asiatica, with a dosage of 60 ~120ml (up to 200ml), 3 ~ 4 times a day, and continuous administration for 7 ~10 days (chronic bacillary dysentery can be extended to1piece) * * * Observed 88 cases, 63 cases were cured, improved1case, and ineffective1case, and the total effective rate was 84%. Among them, 43 cases were acute, and after 1 ~ 2 courses of treatment (the shortest was 7 days and the longest was 45 days), 35 cases were cured, 7 cases were improved, and1case was ineffective. The fever subsided in an average of 1.3 days, the abdominal pain and post-emergency weight disappeared in an average of 5.2 days and 2 days, and the stool frequency, purulent blood or mucus returned to normal in an average of 4.7 days and 5. 1 day. 15 cases with positive stool culture turned negative in an average of 7.3 days. Among the 33 cases, 26 cases recovered to normal (shortest 7 days, longest 49 days), 6 cases improved, and 1 case did not improve after treatment. 45 cases of chronic bacillary dysentery were treated with1~ 2 courses (the shortest 6 days and the longest 30 days), 28 cases were cured, 4 cases were improved and 3 cases were ineffective/kloc-0. Five patients with fever had a fever of 1.8 days on average, 24 patients with abdominal pain disappeared in 16 patients in an average of 7.3 days, 3 patients with acute diarrhea disappeared in 2-4 days, 20 patients with increased stool frequency recovered in an average of 6.3 days, and 3 patients with purulent blood or mucus stool recovered in an average of 8.3 days. 14 cases were positive in stool culture, and 12 cases turned negative in 6.3 days on average. There were 38 cases with pathological changes in B-mirror, among which 25 cases recovered to normal within 1 month, 9 cases improved and 4 cases were ineffective. It is believed that plantain can not only induce diuresis to stop diarrhea, but also have certain antibacterial effect, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects. The best usage is high dose every 4 hours 1 time. For chronic cases, the course of treatment can be more than 1 month. 3, the treatment of simple dyspepsia in children will be parched and ground into oral plantain seeds. 0.5g every 4 ~ 1 2 months,1~ 2 years old1g, 3 ~ 4 times a day. 63 cases were observed. After taking the medicine, 53 cases stopped diarrhea and their stools returned to normal, with an average cure of 2. 1 day. 6 cases had decreased stools, with an average improvement of 2.5 days; 4 cases were invalid. Plantaginis seed may be helpful to the cure of this disease because of its diuretic effect and promoting the secretion of digestive juice. 4. For the treatment of hypertension, use 3 yuan of Semen Plantaginis every day (after 1 month, if the curative effect is not obvious, add it to 6 yuan), and decoct it in water twice as tea. After 3 ~ 4 months' treatment, the systolic blood pressure decreased to 150 mm Hg in 23 cases (46%) and the diastolic blood pressure decreased to 90 mm Hg in 25 cases (50%). During the treatment, there were no other adverse reactions except a few cases with stomach discomfort. 5. Pregnant women who find abnormal fetal position during prenatal examination are expected to have a positive fetal position after taking Plantaginis for 28-32 weeks of pregnancy. According to the observation of 68 cases, the positive rate reached 80 ~ 90%. Usage: Semen Plantaginis is 3 yuan, dried and ground, and water 1 time. 1 week for re-examination. If it fails, you can take it again every 1 week/time. Take it at most 3 times, and if it is invalid, it will be a failure. 6. For the treatment of temporomandibular disorders, 0.5 ml of 5% Plantaginis seed solution was added with 0. 1 ml of 2% silucaine for intra-articular injection. When injecting, use intradermal injection needle, instruct the patient to open the mouth half (at this time, the rear edge of condyle is concave), and the needle tip will pierce forward and inward from about 0.5 cm in front of tragus to a depth of about 1 cm, that is, enter the joint cavity, and slowly inject the liquid medicine. The patient can shut up after the injection. Inject/kloc-0 once a week, 3 ~ 4 times in a row, and stop taking the drug for observation; 1 month, if the curative effect is not obvious, you can continue to inject for a course of treatment and then observe. During the treatment and several weeks after the completion of the course of treatment, we should try our best not to open our mouth too much. In case of physiological mouth opening actions such as yawning, we can hold down the mandible with our hands to make appropriate restrictions, otherwise the curative effect will be affected. 150 patients, according to the two-month treatment review and the follow-up results of 6-24 months later, 60 cases (40%) completely disappeared, 77 cases (51.33%) partially disappeared or alleviated, 6.66% were ineffective 10, and 3 cases recurred. The total effective rate was 91.33%. Another 8 cases of habitual dislocation of temporomandibular joint, after injection of Plantaginis seed solution, 6 cases did not recur, 1 case improved, 1 case was ineffective. The effect of Plantaginis Seed Liquid in treating this disease is that it causes mild inflammation of synovium and joint capsule after injection. When the inflammation subsides, it is followed by fibrous tissue proliferation, which can restore the tension of relaxed joint capsule and improve joint function. Therefore, during the treatment, the patient must be strictly required to limit the mouth opening, so that new fibrous tissue can grow on the inner wall of the joint capsule in the contracted state, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the expected effect. The curative effect on severe patients is not good.
