在重庆市光学机械研究所的协作下,我们从1976年开始用激光对常用中药薏苡(CoixLachryma-jabi L)生长的影响进行研究。薏苡又名苡仁,属禾本科一年生植物。其种仁能健脾、补肺、消热、利水;根能利小便,除湿热.近年来又发现苡仁含有苡仁内脂,有抑制癌细胞的作用,且所含蛋白质很丰富。因此用药上需要量大,如重庆市每年处方即需12万 In collaboration with the Chongqing Institute of Optics and Mechanics, we have been using lasers to study the effects of Coix Lachryma-jabi L growth since 1976. Also known as Yiren, it is an annual plant of grasses. Its kind of kernel can strengthen the spleen, fill the lungs, eliminate heat and make water; the root can urinate and remove dampness and heat. In recent years, it has also been found that Coix seed contains coixenolide which can inhibit cancer cells and contains abundant proteins. Therefore, a large amount of medicine is needed. For example, Chongqing needs 120,000 prescriptions per year.
