The active ingredients in the anti ‐obesity drug bofutsushosan in high‐fat‐diet‐fed obese mice
ConclusionGlycyrrhiza, rhubarb, gardenia, ephedra and mirabilite were the active components responsible for the effect of BTS. Glycyrrhizic acid and sennoside AB induced the early phase while geniposide and ephedrine hydrochloride induced the later phase of the anti ‐obesity activity of BTS.

Basic pharmacological mechanisms and clinical evidence of the efficacy of Hochuekkito against infectious diseases and its potential for use against COVID ‐19
ConclusionCODIV ‐19 is characterized by high risk for the aged and people with other disease complications, cytokine hyperactivity in the severe stage, and sequelae in the recovery stage. Considering the immune‐stimulative/modulative effects of HET on inflammatory conditions and against exhaustion and frailty, it may be useful for prevention, treatment, and recovery from COVID‐19.

Anatomical factors influencing traditional abdominal examination in Kampo diagnosis: Analysis by computed tomography
ConclusionOur study demonstrates that abdominal aortic pulsation is anatomically associated with the depth of the artery. The supra ‐umbilical region appeared to be the most suitable location for evaluating abdominal aortic pulsation, as the aortic artery is shallowest at that point and is least influenced by the depth of the abdominal artery.
