What are the effects of drinking cornus officinalis wine?

In our daily life, Cornus officinalis is actually called Cornus officinalis. This kind of fruit is often seen in the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. The general effects of drinking cornus officinalis include preventing the cardiovascular system, enhancing the immune system, and so on. Wine-cooked Cornus officinalis is relatively easy to buy in the market. As long as you know more about its properties, you can eat it appropriately.

Effects on the cardiovascular system

Cornus officinalis has a cardiotonic effect. Intravenous injection of Cornus officinalis injection 2-8 mg/kg can improve cardiac function, increase myocardial contractility and cardiac output, and improve cardiac working efficiency. After injection in dogs, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure and left ventricular pressure increased. Cornus officinalis injection can counteract late-stage hemorrhagic shock in rabbits and rats, increase the blood pressure of shocked animals, increase renal blood flow, and prolong the survival time of animals.

Effects on the immune system

Different components of Cornus officinalis have different effects on the immune system. The decoction can reduce the phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system, inhibit the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by SRBC or DNCB (2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene), and inhibit the activation of T lymphocytes. Total glucosides of Cornus officinalis and ursolic acid can significantly inhibit the proliferation and transformation of T lymphocytes, inhibit the generation of LAK cells (lymphokine-activated killer cells) and the production of interleukin-2, and have a significant antagonistic effect on the rejection reaction caused by organ transplantation. Daily intraperitoneal injection of total glucosides of Cornus officinalis 500 mg/kg for 6 consecutive days can significantly prolong the survival time of mice after heart transplantation. The decoction has a promoting effect on humoral immunity and can accelerate the formation of serum antibodies IgG and IgM.

Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial

The water decoction of Cornus officinalis has a significant inhibitory effect on inflammatory exudation, tissue edema and granulation tissue hyperplasia caused by inflammatory substances such as xylene, egg white and acetic acid, but has no significant effect on the PGE content in the swollen tissue. It can reduce the vitamin C content in the adrenal glands of rats and alleviate adrenal cell damage. This suggests that its anti-inflammatory mechanism is related to enhancing pituitary-adrenal cortex function and has no obvious inhibitory effect on PGE synthesis and release. Cornus officinalis has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus epidermidis; it also has inhibitory effects on enterococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella dysenteriae, etc.
