A study on the usefulness of eppikajutsuto for cellulitis
ConclusionEPTJ may be a safe and effective treatment option for cellulitis. Although antimicrobial agents were used in 48.5% of cases, further studies are needed to determine whether the concomitant use of antimicrobial agents is essential or the concomitant use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is useful.

Goreisan ‐induced modulation of fecal bile acid composition and gut microbiota in mice
ConclusionsGRS was suggested to promote the formation of fecal secondary bile acids in mice, possibly through the enhancement of bacterial 7 β-dehydroxylation and 6β-epimerization activities. These changes may be involved in the antidiarrhetic action of GRS. Concurrent evaluation of fecal bile acids and gut microbiota presents a promising approach for elucidating the novel mechanisms underlying the effects of kampo formulations, partic ularly in modulating the microbial metabolism of intestinal bile acids.

Effects of ku ‐oketsu and seinetsu Kampo medicines on rosacea‐like skin symptoms induced by steroid in mice
In this study, we aimed to analyze the effects of Jumi-Haidokuto (JHT) and a mixture of Keishi-Bukuryo-gan-ka-Yokuinin (KBY) and JHT on steroid-induced rosacea in mice.MethodsClobetasol propionate ointment was applied to the mice for 10 days and then the mice were provided food mixed with JHT and JHT + KBY for 28 days. Subsequently, the average velocity of capillary flow, area of the purpura, histopathologic features, and fecal metabolome were investigated.ResultsRecovery of the capillary flow velocity, reduction in the area of purpura, and restoration of the epidermal features were observed in JHT- and JHT + KBY-...

Quantitative analyses of sennosides A and B in eight ethical bofutsushosan extract products
ConclusionIt is recommended that the quantities of sennosides A and B in Kampo extract products, including Rhubarb, be described in the package insert. When preparing Rhubarb-containing Kampo medicines, sennosides A and B decomposition can be ignored for decoction times of up to 60 min. Further studies on the biological activity of secondary metabolites other than sennosides A and B are necessary for Rhubarb quality control. (Source: Traditional and Kampo Medicine)
