Article Abstract
The aims of this study were to explore the protective effect of Xiaochaihu decoction in mice with sepsis induced by intraperitoneal injection; to explore its anti-inflammatory effect on the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB signalling pathway; and to explore the main material basis of the anti-inflammatory effect of Xiaochaihu decoction, with the aim of supplementing and expanding the associated research and providing a scientific foundation for the clinical use of the decoction. The effects of Xiaochaihu decoction on septic mice were analysed by measurements of white blood cells (WBC) and Platelets (PLT); Nitric Oxide (NO) level in serum; IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels in serum; RT-PCR; Haematoxylin-Eosin (HE) immunohistochemistry; western blotting (WB). The results showed the excellent in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of Xiaochaihu decoction in LPS-induced septic mice, through down regulation of the gene and protein expression of TLR4, MYD88, TRAF6, IKK, IKBα and p65 and the subsequent reduction in the release of inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and NO. Moreover, significant anti-septic effect was observed from high and medium doses of Xiaochaihu decoction, but not from the low dose.

The Role of Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B.

The pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) involves complex mechanisms, and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced immune responses play a central role in hepatocyte injury and inflammatory necrosis. CHB infection not only drives liver pathology but also demonstrates significant extrahepatic associations which include depression, cognitive dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, insomnia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and thrombocytopenia. Conventional Western medicine primarily employs antiviral therapy but faces limitations which include low hepatitis B surface antigen clearance rates and frequent adverse drug reactions.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Within the framework of traditional Chinese medicine, Bupleuri Radix (BR), distinguished by its bitter flavor and slightly cold properties, targets the liver and gallbladder meridians. It is traditionally used for liver soothing, depression alleviation, fever reduction, and the elevation of yang and qi. BR is a key component of traditional formulations such as Xiaochaihu Decoction and Xiaoyao Powder.

Background And Purpose: The progression from hepatitis to liver fibrosis (LF) and ultimately to hepatic carcinoma (HCC) represents the advanced stages of various liver diseases. Currently, no universal treatment effectively addresses all three conditions. The Traditional Chinese Medicine formula Xiao-Chai-Hu decoction (XCHD) has shown promise in treating hepatitis, inhibiting LF, and serving as an adjunct therapy for HCC.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Xiao-Chai-Hu granule (XCH) originates from the classical formula Xiao-Chai-Hu decoction, documented in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases (205 AD). Clinically used in China for decades to treat influenza, its mechanism against influenza virus (IFV)-induced pneumonia remains unclear.
Aim Of The Study: This work aimed to evaluate the anti-influenza viral pneumonia effects and mechanism of XCH.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In accordance with the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine, sepsis is categorized into three distinct syndromes: heat syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, and deficiency syndrome. Xiaochaihu decoction (XCHD) has many functions, including the capacity to protect the liver, cholagogue, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-pathogenic microorganisms. XCHD exerts the effect of clearing heat and reconciling Shaoyang.
