【 Pharmacological Action and Clinical Application 】

1. Immunity: Pachyman such as pachyman and carboxymethyl pachyman can enhance the cytotoxicity of peritoneal macrophages, which is related to the activation of complement. Carboxymethyl poria cocos can enhance the phagocytic function of macrophages in immune mechanism mice and tumor-bearing mice induced by injection of cortisone acetate, and poria cocos polysaccharide can also enhance the cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes. Carboxymethyl pachyman can increase the weight of spleen and thymus in mice.

2. Diuretic effect: The alcohol extract of Poria cocos has obvious diuretic effect on rats and rabbits.

6. Effect on liver: Poria cocos has protective effect on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats, significantly reducing the activity of alanine aminotransferase and preventing hepatocyte necrosis.

7. Bacteriostasis test: It can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Proteus. Ethanol extract can kill leptospira.
