As one of the three pillars of Chinese medicine industry, traditional Chinese medicines prepared in ready-to-use forms are important raw materials for clinical medication and production of Chinese patent drugs. By considering the literature of Curcumae Radix, a multi-source Chinese herb and the situation of market investigation, the modern evaluation method based on traditional grading was introduced for comprehensive evaluation of the processed Curcumae Radix. The correlation between traditional grading method and modern evaluation index was explored to establish the grading standard of Curcumae Radix. According to the comprehensive evaluation, Curcumae Radix was divided into four grades: superior, first, second and third grades under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. This study provides a new idea for the grading of multi-source processed Chinese medicine, achieving high quality and good price, which is helpful to improve the clinical efficacy.

The traditional medicinal value of (turmeric) and its potential relevance in modern healthcare suggests that traditional remedies and natural products can provide valuable solutions to contemporary challenges, such as combating biofilms and antibiotic-resistant pathogens, potentially offering new strategies for addressing health and safety issues in the fields of food and medicine. This study assessed the antibiofilm and antibacterial characterization of Curcuma longa rhizome extract against antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogens. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis were determined to check for the compounds, functional groups, and constituents of the plant extract.

Article Synopsis
- - Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is primarily a urinary tract issue in older males, and this study evaluated the anti-proliferative effects of two natural extracts, CR and Syzygium aromaticum (SA), on BPH symptoms in lab tests with cells and rats.
- - Experimental results indicated that the combination of CR and SA extracts significantly reduced cell proliferation and various biomarkers related to BPH when tested on RWPE-1 cells and testosterone-induced BPH rats, showing promising effects compared to individual extracts.
- - The study concludes that the CR and SA extracts may help alleviate BPH symptoms through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting their potential as natural treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatic fibrosis is a serious liver condition that can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, and vinegar-processed Curcumae Rhizoma (VCR) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat related diseases.
- The study analyzed the anti-liver fibrosis effects of both unprocessed Curcumae Rhizoma (CR) and VCR, with VCR showing improved therapeutic outcomes due to vinegar processing and specific bioactive compounds.
- Results indicated that VCR significantly lessened liver damage, reduced lipid buildup, and lowered liver function markers, suggesting enhanced efficacy in treating hepatic fibrosis through network pharmacology and metabolomic analyses.
