石仙桃药材的民族植物学与文献计量学整合研究
Ethnobotany meets bibliometrics:An integrated study on Shixiantao,a medicinal orchid
摘要
Abstract
The materia medica of Shixiantao holds a prominent place in Chinese folk tradition with a long history of extensive use.It functions both as a traditional medicinal plant commonly used and as a resource possessing significant value in dietary culture.To address issues such as historical confusion in its botanical origin records,discrepancies among provincial standards,and the lack of systematized traditional medicinal knowledge,this study integrated medical ethnobotany on historical herbal texts,local chronicles of Chinese materia medica,and ethnomedical literature.Through this process,traditional knowledge regarding nomenclature,botanical origins,morphological characteristics,and geographical distribution was consolidated.Furthermore,an ethnobotanical inventory of Shixiantao's traditional medicinal knowledge across thirteen ethnic groups was compiled.And based on bibliometrics,this study counted the research reports on Shixiantao in the past 40 years domestically and internationally,analyzed the keywords of the published articles to reveal the correlation between its traditional knowledge and modern research,and integrated progress in chemistry and pharmacology.The results were as follows:(1)The origin of Shixiantao exhibits significant diachronic evolution and confusion.The earliest medicinal documentation,traced to the Tang dynasty,featured Pholidota yunnanensis as a substitute for the materia medica of Dendrobium spp.(Shihu).From the Qing dynasty to the Republican period,diverse sources were involved,including plants from genera like Coelogyne and Bulbophyllum.Modern literature establishes Pholidota chinensis as the accepted origin,yet the folk market continues to see trade in multiple species,including Pholidota cantonensis and Coelogyne fimbriata.(2)Shixiantao is currently incorporated into the medical systems of 13 ethnic groups,primarily utilizing the pseudobulbs to treat headaches,traumatic injuries,lymph node tuberculosis,etc.Records of its traditional property,flavor,meridian tropism,and efficacy are highly consistent with modern pharmacological research.(3)Bibliometric statistics show that research concerning Shixiantao over the past 40 years has focused on chemical components(phenanthrenes,bibenzyls,etc.)and the mechanisms of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities,providing strong evidence supporting its traditional efficacy in treating headaches,inflammation,etc.,highlighting the important inspiration of ethnic medicinal experience for modern research.This study represents the first systematic integration of Shixiantao's historical evolution of botanical origin according to historical herbs,multi-ethnic traditional knowledge,and modern scientific evidence,confirming the inspirational value of ethnic medicinal experience for contemporary drug research.Future research should prioritize resolving taxonomic confusion among closely related species and ensuring resource sustainability.Under these premises,a synergistic innovation system integrating traditional knowledge,resource conservation and modern research and development should be constructed to promote the inheritance of ethnic medicinal culture and ecological conservation.关键词
