The disgusting leeches in the small pond near your home are widely used in plastic surgery, mainly for helping to suck blood to promote blood circulation during flap transplantation, and the toxin hirudin of leeches can be anticoagulated, prevent blood clots from forming in microvenous veins, increase flap survival rate, and even have an anesthetic effect
Naturally active hirudin
It can be seen that the popularity of leech therapy is based on theory and scientific research. Now don't have to be so troublesome, don't put creepy little things on your body, there is now a health food that can be both maintained and maintained - natural active hirudin appears.
In 1884, british scientist Haycraft first discovered that European medical leeches contained anticoagulant substances. In 1904, british scientist Jacoby successfully isolated the active ingredient of anticoagulant blood from European medical leeches and named it hirudin. In the 1950s, German scientist Mark Ward successfully isolated this substance from leech saliva, and since then, the world's strongest natural specific thrombin inhibitor - hirudin was born.
Hirudin is the most active and most studied of the various active ingredients extracted from leeches and their salivary glands, which is a small molecule protein (polypeptide) composed of 65-66 amino acids. It remains active at ambient temperatures below 70 degrees Celsius. It is soluble in water, can prevent the coagulation of fibrin in the blood, inhibits the binding of thrombin and platelets, has a strong thrombolytic effect, and its effect is even better than heparin.
Hirudin is a natural active ingredient (polypeptide) extracted from the salivary glands of medical leeches, and is called the "three major elements of world medicine" together with artemisinin and insulin.
Six functions of natural hirudin
1. Solve the problem of blood vessel blockage
Super thrombolysis, reduce cholesterol, remove grease and garbage, unclog blood vessels, improve and prevent myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases
2. Solve the problem of damage to the nerves of the brain
Nerve regeneration enzymes, which repair damaged nerves in the brain and body
3. Solve the problem of blood flow power
Accelerate blood motility and increase blood supply and oxygen supply to the internal organs
4. Solve the problem of hardening of blood vessel walls
Softens blood vessels, restores vascular elasticity, eliminates atherosylated plaques, prevents rupture of blood vessels
5. Solve the problem of hematopoietic function
Improve blood cell nutrition and activity, improve anemia, low blood pressure and other problems
6. Solve the problem of blood viscosity
Eliminates free radicals, purines, garbage, blood poisoning, etc., and solves vascular stickiness
