Note The dried rhizomes of the same genus, Chinese mistletoe fern D.baronii (Christ) Diels, are also used as medicine for bone crushing. Trait identification

1.rhizome is irregular dorsoventrally flattened strip, block or slice, more curved, often with constriction and branches on both sides, 3-20cm long, 0.7-1.5cm wide. surface densely covered with brown or reddish brown tiny scales, tightly adhering to the membranous peltate; straight stretching lanceolate, apex pointed, fringe edge (eyelash), and the base of the middle stipe and the young end of the rhizome is more crowded. Scales brownish where detached, with fine longitudinal texture and furrow ridges visible. There are petiole scars above, longitudinal ridges and fine root scars below. The texture is hard, the section is reddish brown, with white split center column, rows of long flat round. Aromatic, slightly sweet and astringent flavor.

2. The rhizome is not far from the dorsal and ventral surfaces slightly flattened then cylindrical long, 3-8cm long, 0.6-1cm wide; scales striped lanceolate, scales dehumidified at the gray-brown, with fine longitudinal texture. Section brownish-yellow, grayish-white, dotted split columns arranged in an oval shape. Aromatic, astringent flavor.

3. The rhizome is oblate, 0.5-1.2cm in diameter. scales are reddish brown, leathery, triangular, imbricate, peltate near the base, close to the surface of the rhizome. The texture is brittle, and the cross-section of the split body is arranged in an ellipsoid center column. Temperament, taste salty and astringent.4. Rootstock cylindrical, surface densely covered with striped lanceolate and fluffy scales, scales detached show purple-brown, with longitudinal grooves of different sizes and fine texture. The section is brown, the punctate fractions are arranged in round-like columns. Gas very slight, astringent flavor. All of them are preferred to those with thick and brown strips.

Microscopic identification

Transverse section of the rhizome (1) mistletoe fern is oblong. Epidermal cells 1 column, the outer wall is slightly thick; scale base is located in the epidermal depression, cells 3-4 columns; wall thick, containing reddish brown pigment. The endodermis surrounds the meristematic mesostyle, the cells extending nodally. Split middle column 18-28, arranged in a flat circular ring; xylem tubular cells polygonal, 6-40μm in diameter, larger in the middle, gradually becoming smaller towards the ends, hair shoulder several up to the ends of the phloem divided into two parts inside and outside, the inner phloem has some thickened cell walls, and filled with yellowish brown secretion.

(2) Oval in shape. The epidermal cells are irregularly arranged; the scale base is attached to the epidermal projection, the cells are 2-rowed, thin-walled, and contain brownish-yellow pigment. Epidermis and 2-3 columns of cells below it and 1 column of cells outside endodermis with thickened inner wall. Segmental mesocolumns 18-25, arranged in round-like rows; diameter of tubular cells 10-26 μm.

(3) Epidermis with thick wax cover, scale base 2-3 columns of cells; epidermis and its lower 3-5 columns of cells with slightly thickened walls, outer 1 column of cells of endothelial layer thickened in a horseshoe shape, pore grooves and laminae obvious, cells containing yellowish cinnamon-brown color pigment. The middle column of the meristem is rounded and arranged in a ring; the diameter of the tubular cells is 10-48 cm μm.

(4) The outer epidermis has a thick wax cover, and the base of the scales is 2-3 columns of cells. Endodermis outer 1 column of cells thick. Split middle column arranged in irregular 2-3 circles, 28-35 in the central circle, round or oblong. Physicochemical identification thin layer chromatography: take 0.5g of powder, add methanol 5ml cold immersion overnight, filtration, filtrate for test solution; another naringenin as a control, were spotted on the same polyamide film, benzene-methanol-butanone (3:1:1) unfolded with 1% ferric chloride ethanol solution spray. In the chromatogram of the test product, in the corresponding position with the chromatogram of the control product, show the same color spot. 1, prevention and treatment of streptomycin toxicity and allergic reactions

Take 5 money of dried bone marrow supplement tablets, decocted in water and divided into 2 doses, 1 dose per day, depending on the need for long-term use. For those who are known to have toxic reaction to streptomycin, using streptomycin at the same time using this drug can prevent its toxic reaction; previous allergic to streptomycin patients to use again, in addition to a small dose to start, and add the service of this drug desensitization. For the use of streptomycin in the process of toxicity or allergic reaction has occurred, then the use of this agent treatment; clinical observation of 21 cases (2 cases of allergic reaction, 19 cases of toxic reaction), after taking the drug in addition to 2 cases of ineffective, the rest of the second day of the reaction to alleviate the symptoms, most of the reaction in the third to fourth day symptoms disappeared. Streptomycin reaction reappeared after stopping the use of Boneset. Re-use of Boneset Decoction was still effective. It is observed that this drug has the best efficacy on the symptoms of headache, dizziness, numbness of lips and tongue in the reaction; it also has some effect on the control of tinnitus and deafness. It is suggested that its main role, lies in lifting the toxic effect of streptomycin on the eighth on the cerebral nerve and the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve.

2, the treatment of corns

Take 3 money of broken bones, crushed into coarse powder, put 95% alcohol 100 ml soaked in 3 days spare. When used first foot corns or warts with warm water to wash and soak soft, and then use a knife to peel off the outer layer of thick skin; and then rub the bone bone broken alcohol immersion, every 2 hours 1 time, 4 to 6 times in a row, up to 10 times a day. Slight pain after rubbing, a few minutes can disappear. Treatment of corns 6 cases, all in 10 ~ 15 days; warts 2 cases, all in 3 days to fall off and healed.

3. Elderly kidney deficiency, lumbago and foot weakness, 15 grams of bone marrow, 10 grams of bone marrow, 10 grams of hyssop, 10 grams of sangmuosheng. Water decoction, 1 dose per day. There is a tonic for the kidneys and bones.4. Kidney deficiency, tinnitus and deafness, or kidney deficiency and chronic diarrhea bone broken tonic appropriate amount, research into fine powder, 6 grams each time, people simmering in the pig's kidneys, eat.

5. Bruises: 15-30 grams of broken bones. Water decoction, 2 times a day. Or use 120 grams of bone broken patch, 500 grams of white wine, soaked together, divided into 10 times to serve, 2 times a day; another with this product with ginger with pounding, external compresses on the injury. Chest and rib contusion or tendon fracture of the efficacy of very good, for the promotion of fracture healing agent.

6. Toothache: 30 grams of broken bones (hair). Broken decoction, or soak in boiling water containing mouth, have a good effect on pain. Reproduction techniques

Commonly used in the division of plant reproduction, in May-June is good. The mother plant gently peeled, separated from the creeping branches, 2-3 clumps per pot, put in the half-shade, when the rhizome sprouted new leaves, it has become live. Can also be used for spore propagation, the mature spores into the surface of the rotting soil, spray moisturizing. Generally 2 months after the growth of spore bodies. Summer heat, to maintain high air humidity, kidney fern for hanging pot cultivation, easy to dry, should be more water spray, pay attention to ventilation. However, watering should not be too much, not to mention the plant immersed in water. Fertilize once every ten days during the growing period. Easy to suffer from aphids and red spider damage, can be sprayed with soapy water to prevent and control. Physiological leaf blight, pay attention to the potting soil should not be too wet.

Care and management

Add a small amount of bone meal, eggshell powder and other calcium nutrients to the culture soil, more conducive to the growth of the kidney fern. Kidney fern prefers bright diffused light, but can also tolerate low light. Soil should be well-drained and slightly acidic. Keep it in direct sunlight on the window sill in winter and in diffused light indoors in other seasons.
