It has been found that Juzentaihoto (TJ-48), one of the traditional Japanese kampo (herbal) medicines, improves the general condition of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We analyze how TJ-48 elicits such effect, and show that oral administration of TJ-48 accelerates recovery from hemopoietic injury induced by radiation and the anti-cancer drug mitomycin C. The effects are found to be due to its stimulation of spleen colony-forming units. Based on the present findings, we propose that the administration of TJ-48 should be of benefit to patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation therapy or bone marrow transplantation.
已发现,传统日本汉方(草药)药物之一的十全大补汤(TJ - 48)可改善接受化疗和放疗的癌症患者的总体状况。我们分析了TJ - 48如何产生这种效果,并表明口服TJ - 48可加速由辐射和抗癌药物丝裂霉素C引起的造血损伤的恢复。发现这些效果是由于其对脾集落形成单位的刺激。基于目前的研究结果,我们认为给予TJ - 48对接受化疗、放疗或骨髓移植的患者有益。
