title: [Influence of different processes on bactericidal and tumoricidal effects of gamboges].
abstract: The different processes for preparing gamboge could influence its bactericidal activity and cytotoxicity. The gamboge processed with high pressure steam has been proved the most powerful in killing Staphylococcus aureus and tumor cells. The most suitable condition for processing gamboge is to steam it at 126 degrees C for 30 minutes.
