Hirudo resources are widely distributed and have a variety of pharmacological effects, but culture is difficult, so the scientific development of hirudos culture and solving the problem of hirudos breeding can alleviate the contradiction in the medicine market and contribute to the sustainable development of hirudo medicine. [11] confirmed that the use of hirudin in the early stage of cerebral hemorrhage on the basis of controlling cerebral hemorrhage could reduce the brain tissue injury in the acute stage. 3.4 Anti-tumor Studies have shown that hirudin can inhibit the growth of tumor cells by inhibiting the effect of thrombin. In recent years, due to environmental pollution, deterioration of water quality and abuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the living conditions of hirudos have deteriorated and the natural population has gradually decreased. With the increase of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in recent years, and the continuous development of hirudo-containing proprietary Chinese medicine, its market demand is increasing, and it has become one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines. [...]the importance of maintaining the sustainable utilization of hirudo resources should be fully recognized and the sustainable development system of hirudo resources should be established.
