Abstract Background The source of ninjin'yoeito (NYT) is considered the ‘Formulary of Bureau of Taiping People's Welfare Pharmacy’, written around 1241–52 AD. NYT is used to treat patients with chronic fatigue, malaise with qi deficiency, and exhaustion of all five parenchymatous viscera with difficulty in recovering. Key Findings NYT formula consists of 12 crude drugs. NYT extract for medical use is covered by the National Health Insurance system of Japan for convalescence after recovery from diseases, fatigue and malaise, anorexia, perspiration during sleep, cold limbs, and anemia. Studies have shown clinical effects of NYT: treatment of anemia, cancer treatment support, frailty, cognitive dysfunction, apathy, fatigue/malaise, anorexia, and lung diseases. Preclinical studies support clinical studies; activating ghrelin‐neuropeptide Y pathway‐mediated appetite‐enhancing effects, inhibiting muscle volume loss through the Akt/mTOR pathway‐mediated hyperphosphorylation of 4E‐BP1 and FoxO1‐mediated Atrogin‐1, suppressing the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis by downregulating the sympathetic‐adrenal‐medullary axis and GABA neurons for improving sociability, promoting recovery from skeletal muscle atrophy through the activation of PGC‐1α, hematopoiesis‐promoting effects, and increasing the number of immune cells in immunocompromised models. The incidence of adverse events of NYT was reported as 3.09 or 2.03%. The most significant adverse effects of NYT are gastrointestinal disorders. Conclusion Recently, NYT has been widely used to treat several symptoms and conditions under the National Health Insurance System of Japan. Clinical studies showed the efficacy of NYT to treat anemia, frailty, cognitive dysfunction, anorexia, apathy, and fatigue/malaise, as well as for long‐term cancer treatment support. The pharmacological mechanisms supporting its effects are also being reported.

Abstract Aim This study aimed to clarify the safety of Valeriana fauriei root (VF) ethanol extract through in vivo and clinical trials. Methods Mice were divided into VF and control groups. They were given VF (4 g VF/kg/day) or the vehicle mixed in the powdered food for four weeks. Food consumption and body weight changes were evaluated, and blood biochemistry and organ weights were assessed on the last day. In addition, an open‐label study was conducted on healthy subjects who took VF capsules (10 g VF/body/day) for four weeks and were asked to report any changes in their physical condition. Physical, hematologic, blood biochemical examination and urinalysis were performed before, two weeks, and four weeks into the study. Results Food consumption and weight gain in mice did not differ between the VF and control groups, except for experimental error, and there were no particular differences in the weights of the brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, and kidney. In mice, VF administration resulted in small but significant decreases in albumin in males and females, and total cholesterol and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol in females only. These levels were unchanged, but daytime sleepiness was observed in humans. Conclusion Since there was little change in the experimental values at continuous high doses of VF at 10 g/day, it can be concluded that approximately one‐fifth of this dose (2 g VF/day) is less harmful. However, daytime sleepiness should be considered.
摘要目的通过体内试验和临床试验，阐明缬草根(VF)乙醇提取物的安全性。方法将小鼠分为VF组和对照组。分别给予VF (4 g VF/kg/天)或混合在粉状食品中的整车，连续4周。在最后一天评估食物消耗和体重变化，并评估血液生化和器官重量。此外，对健康受试者进行了一项开放标签研究，他们连续四周服用VF胶囊(10g VF/body/day)，并被要求报告其身体状况的任何变化。研究开始前、2周和4周分别进行生理、血液学、血液生化检查和尿液分析。结果除实验误差外，VF组和对照组小鼠的食量和体重增加没有差异，脑、肺、心、肝、脾和肾的重量也没有特别的差异。在小鼠中，给药VF导致雄性和雌性小鼠白蛋白和总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的小幅但显著下降。这些水平没有变化，但在人类中观察到白天嗜睡。结论:在10 g/天的连续高剂量VF下，实验值几乎没有变化，因此可以得出结论，大约五分之一的剂量(2 g VF/天)的危害较小。然而，白天的嗜睡应该被考虑在内。

Abstract Aim 5‐Fluorouracil/folinic acid and oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab (FOLFOX + BV) is a standard chemotherapy regimen for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This study was aimed at evaluating the preventive effects of shakuyakukanzoto against oxaliplatin‐induced neurotoxicity associated with FOLFOX + BV administration. Methods In this single‐arm, open‐label, phase II clinical trial, we enrolled patients with previously untreated, histologically confirmed mCRC from six hospitals in Japan who were aged 20 years and older and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1. The patients received shakuyakukanzoto 2.5 g thrice daily, orally, until disease progression and/or unacceptable toxicity was noted. The primary endpoint was the incidence of neurotoxicity following oxaliplatin administration at a dose of 500 mg/m 2 . Neurotoxicity was evaluated according to the Neurotoxicity Criteria of Debiopharm (DEB‐NTC). The trial was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry of Japan (UMIN000001853). Results Forty‐one non‐pretreated mCRC patients were included between April 2009 and September 2013. At an oxaliplatin dose of 500 mg/m 2 , neurotoxicity of DEB‐NTC grade 1–2 developed in 25.0% of patients; no patient had DEB‐NTC grade 3 neurotoxicity. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (34.1%), hypertension (24.4%), and fatigue (9.8%). The response rate of the 38 patients with measurable lesions was 55.2%. The median progression‐free and overall survival was 14.9 and 35.2 months respectively. Conclusion Shakuyakukanzoto substantially reduced oxaliplatin‐induced neurotoxicity without negatively affecting tumor response or survival in FOLFOX + BV‐treated patients with CRC.

Abstract Background The source of yokukansan (YKS) is thought to be Baoying‐Jinjiang (Hoeikinkyōroku in Japanese) by Xue Ji. YKS was originally designed for children and indicated for spasms, clenching of teeth, digestive dysfunction due to mental instability, and insomnia. Key Findings YKS formula consists of seven types of crude drugs. Clinical studies have revealed that YKS exerts physiological effects including the treatment of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD), preoperative sedation and anxiety, and postoperative delirium. A meta‐analysis showed that YKS could improve BPSD and daily living activities; however, no improvement in cognitive function was observed. Preclinical studies have also reported that YKS modulates neuronal pathways in the central nervous system, including the serotonergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, and other neurotransmitter pathways. The incidence of adverse events associated with YKS was 5.17%, with the major adverse effect being pseudoaldosteronism. Routine blood sampling is considered for hypokalemia prevention. Conclusion YKS is useful for BPSD and perioperative mental instability. The modulation of the serotonergic and glutamatergic neural pathways is one of mechanisms. Pseudoaldosteronism is one of the side effects.

In Japan, goreisan (GRS) is used to alleviate cerebral edema and relieve headaches. Although improvement of water maldistribution in the brain may be one of the mechanisms of action of GRS for cerebral edema and headache, scientific evidence is limited. Here, we aimed to investigate the action mechanism of GRS against cerebral edema and headaches, focusing on water dynamics in the brain.

New antiviral drugs for COVID-19 have been launched with special approval. However, as there may be a shortage of drugs in the future, it may be difficult to provide appropriate medical intervention. Herein, we describe our experience of successfully treating COVID-19 pneumonia in an older patient using a Japanese herbal medicine without new antiviral drugs. A 94-year-old woman was diagnosed with COVID-19 and received home care. However, dyspnea appeared on day 4 of home treatment, so she visited the emergency department of our hospital. Her SpO2 then increased to 97% after oxygen delivery at a rate of 7 L/min via a mask. On physical examination, the patient presented with tachypnea (24 breaths per minute) and stable hemodynamics. Her blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature were 104/65 mm Hg, 68 beats/min, and 37.5 C respectively. She had clear consciousness. Her height and body weight were 146 cm and 47 kg respectively. Laboratory test results are presented in Table 1. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed infiltrates in the bilateral lower lungs with ground-glass signs. The qSOFA was one point and sepsis was not actively suspected, but the A-DROP was three points and the patient was indicated for hospitalization for severe pneumonia. Given her history of hypertension and stroke, she usually spent most of her time lying in bed, except for eating and defecating. Aspiration was not confirmed during home care. CT imaging showed mainly a groundglass appearance rather than an infiltrating shadow, so aspiration pneumonia was not actively suspected. Based on the course and CT imaging, typical bacterial pneumonia was not actively suspected and the use of antibiotics was withheld. Her respiration was stabilized with oxygen therapy; however, she was frail and old, and neither she nor her family wanted active treatment. As she could drink water, a Japanese herbal treatment for pneumonia was initiated. Her Kampo medical findings indicated that she had a deficiency. She complained of bitterness in her mouth and chest pain when coughing. Her pulse was weak
新冠病毒抗病毒药物已获特别批准上市。然而，由于将来可能出现药物短缺，可能难以提供适当的医疗干预。在此，我们描述了我们使用日本草药成功治疗老年患者COVID-19肺炎的经验，没有新的抗病毒药物。一名94岁的妇女被诊断出患有COVID-19并接受了家庭护理。然而，在家庭治疗的第4天出现呼吸困难，因此她来到了我院的急诊科。通过面罩以7l /min的速率给氧后，她的SpO2增加到97%。体格检查时，患者出现呼吸急促(每分钟24次呼吸)，血流动力学稳定。她的血压、心率和体温分别为104/65 mm Hg、68次/分和37.5℃。她有清醒的意识。她的身高和体重分别为146厘米和47公斤。实验室测试结果见表1。计算机断层扫描显示双侧下肺浸润伴磨玻璃征。qSOFA为1分，未积极怀疑脓毒症，但A-DROP为3分，患者因严重肺炎需要住院治疗。考虑到她有高血压和中风病史，除了吃饭和排便，她通常大部分时间都躺在床上。在家庭护理期间未确认误吸。CT主要表现为磨砂样影，未见浸润影，不积极怀疑吸入性肺炎。根据病程及CT表现，未积极怀疑为典型细菌性肺炎，未给予抗生素治疗。氧疗稳定了她的呼吸;然而，她年老体弱，她和她的家人都不希望积极治疗。因为她可以喝水，所以开始使用日本草药治疗肺炎。她的康坡医学检查结果表明，她有缺陷。她说嘴里有苦味，咳嗽时胸痛。她的脉搏很微弱
