“…Further study will be needed for characterizing the mechanism for whole body and reproductive organs such as uterus and ovary. Third, although Sho in Kampo and Zheng in TCM were derived from the same word, they have acquired different meanings ( 7 , 20 – 22 ). In this case report, it should be noted that we described Sho in Kampo.…”

Sho-Based Kampo Medicine Combined With Assisted Reproductive Technology Is Effective for Refractory Infertility and Early Recurrent Miscarriage: A Case Report

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is an effective treatment developed for infertile couples in the world. As a result, women suffering from infertility benefit from ART treatment. However, even when ART treatment is successfully performed, there are cases where conception is not achieved or maintained. Kampo medicine was originally developed in Japan, and Sho is the central part of Kampo concept. Although it is thought that Kampo medicine is useful for various women-specific symptoms in modern Japan, evidence is still lacking regarding the effectiveness of combination of Sho-based Kampo and Western medicine such as ART. In this article, we report a case of a patient with refractory infertility and early recurrent miscarriage (ERM) of unknown cause who successfully became pregnant with combination therapy of Kampo based on Sho and ART. The patient was a 34 year-old Japanese woman and had been treated with ART in a nearby clinic. In a 3 year period, she had undergone oocyte retrieval twice, frozen embryo transfer (FET) seven times and conceived twice. Since both conceptions ended in miscarriages and pregnancy could not be established thereafter, her clinic referred her to our hospital for Kampo treatment. As result of the diagnosis of her Sho-pattern, we chose Kampo medicine. Finally, she succeeded in conception 1.5 years after beginning treatment and was able to carry the fetus to term successfully. The current case showed that although our patient had been unable to give a birth after undergoing various western medical treatments for infertility, pregnancy was established and kept to term after addition of Sho-based Kampo treatment. Kampo medicine chosen by the Sho-patterns is useful for refractory infertility and ERM. It is important to note that examinations for evaluting the Sho-patterns are essential for selecting appropriate Kampo medicine. Sho-based Kampo leads to an increase in the effectiveness of ART treatment, and accumulation of evidence that clarifies Sho-pattern is required.

“…These virucidal drugs were shown to possess potential virucidal activity in the small intestine against IBV (86). Traditional medicines, mainly from China, have been very effective against respiratory viruses (87). A combination effect of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), such as Shegandilong (SGDL) and doxycycline, was examined by Feng et al (88) to prevent viral infection, and the outcomes indicated an increased level of tracheal immunoglobulin A (IgA).…”

The growth of poultry farming has enabled higher spread of infectious diseases and their pathogens among different kinds of birds, such as avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and avian influenza virus (AIV). IBV and AIV are a potential source of poultry mortality and economic losses. Furthermore, some pathogens have the ability to cause zoonotic diseases and impart human health problems. Antiviral treatments that are used often lead to virus resistance along with the problems of side effects, recurrence, and latency of viruses. Though target hosts are being vaccinated, the constant emergence and re-emergence of strains of these viruses cause disease outbreaks. The pharmaceutical industry is gradually focusing on plant extracts to develop novel herbal drugs to have proper antiviral capabilities. Natural therapeutic agents developed from herbs, essential oils (EO), and distillation processes deliver a rich source of amalgams to discover and produce new antiviral drugs. The mechanisms involved have elaborated how these natural therapeutics agents play a major role during virus entry and replication in the host and cause inhibition of viral pathogenesis. Nanotechnology is one of the advanced techniques that can be very useful in diagnosing and controlling infectious diseases in poultry. In general, this review covers the issue of the poultry industry situation, current infectious diseases, mainly IB and AI control measures and, in addition, the setup of novel therapeutics using plant extracts and the use of nanotechnology information that may help to control these diseases.

The lower respiratory tract infection, induced by influenza virus, coronaviruses, and respiratory syncytial virus, remains a serious threat to human health that can cause a global pandemic. Thus, finding effective chemicals and therapeutic measures to advance the functional restoration of the respiratory tract after infection has been the emphasis of the studies on the subjects. Mosla scabra is a natural medicinal plant used for treating various lung and gastrointestinal diseases, including viral infection, cough, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute gastroenteritis, and diarrhoea. In this study, the antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects of total lignans (MSTL) extracted from the plant were investigated in influenza A virus (IAV)-infected mice and RAW 264.7 macrophages. MSTL could not only protect the macrophages against IAV-induced pyroptosis but also could lighten the lung inflammation induced by IAV in vivo and in vitro. The network pharmacology analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes, mainly involving in EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, endocrine resistance, HIF-1 signaling pathway, C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway, and FOXO signaling pathway, contributed to the IAV-induced alveolar macrophage dysfunction. It indicated that MSTL enhanced the function of alveolar macrophages and improved IAV-induced lung injury in mice.
