桑寄生是一种具有广泛寄主的半寄生性植物药材，具有祛风湿、补肝肾、强筋骨、安胎元等功效。现代研究表明，寄主对桑寄生药材质量影响显著。本文通过查阅国内外公开发表的有关研究论文，对历代本草桑寄生的使用，以及不同寄主对桑寄生药材化学成分、毒性及药理作用等方面的影响进行总结，从寄主对桑寄生药材质量影响层面，对如何做好桑寄生药材的质量控制提出相关工作思路，为开展桑寄生药材质量控制提供参考。

Taxillus chinensis,belonging to hemiparasitic herbal medicine and featuring its wild host range,is used for relief from rheumatic conditions,reinforcement of liver and kidney,strengthening of tendon and bone,and prevention of abortion.It showed that host trees presented significant impacts on the quality of Taxillus chinensis in the modern researches.In this study,both domestic and foreign published articles over Taxillus chinensis from various host trees were reviewed to summarized its herbalogy,chemical constituents,toxicity,and pharmacological action.In regard to the influences on the quality of medicinal materials,ideas and references for the quality control of Taxillus chinensis were provided by analyzing the quality of Taxillus chinensis impacted by hosts.
