Abstract: The present invention provides a simple and rapid construction of an animal model of constipation and use thereof. The construction method comprises: irritating a rat via tail-clamping and then gavaging the rat with 3.5-7 mg/kg of loperamide the next day, wherein the tail-clamping irritation treatment is as follows: clamping a tail 2-4 times every day for 25-35 min each time continuously for 3-5 days. The present invention obtains a method for constructing a rat model of constipation caused by liver depression and spleen deficiency by combining the tail-clamping irritation treatment and loperamide gavage treatment. The method has a short modeling period, is simple to operate, has a low cost, and effectively overcomes stress reaction of a rat. Besides, the constructed rat model of constipation caused by liver depression and spleen deficiency has various mechanisms, being stable, reliable and high in repeatability.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composite for relieving functional dyspepsia, a preparation method therefor, a use thereof, a drug, a food and a health-care product. The composite comprises the following components in parts by weight: 2 to 8 parts of dried orange peels, 1 to 6 parts of figs, and 1 to 5 parts of seville orange flowers. The composite of the present invention is prepared from medicinally and edibly homologous natural plant raw materials, which has good safety without side effects, and can be used to treat and/or prevent functional dyspepsia. The composite can also be used to prevent depression and improve sleep, with significant, mild and gradual curative effects, so as to provide a patient with daily health care and drug security.

Abstract: There is provided a surface-active material that comprises fibers which have been modified so as to impart surface-active properties onto said fibres and giving it a contact angle between 60° and 120°, wherein the fibres have an aspect ratio of more than 10 to 1,000. The surface-active material can be used for foam and emulsion formation and stabilization, coatings, encapsulation and drug delivery. It can for example be used in the following industries: foods, home and personal care, oilfield, agriculture, textile, construction, emulsion polymerization, leather, plastic, pulp, paper and pharma.
