Unlabelled: We earlier reported the clinical effects of TJ-48 on side-effects of anti-tumor agents. In this report an immunological examination was conducted on administration of TJ-48 for postoperative gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: Blast formation of mouse lymphocyte to which patient serum was added. TNF activity, LAK activity and 2-5AS activity before and after administration of TJ-48 were measured in 19 cases of gastric cancer.
Results: Blast formation of mouse lymphocytes after administration showed a tendency to increase more than before. TNF activities tended to decrease more after administration than before. 2-5AS activities indicated a tendency to decrease more after administration than before. Little difference was manifest between LAK activities before and after administration.
Conclusion: The action of non-specific immunosuppressive factor was suggested to be lowered after administration of TJ-48 for postoperative gastric cancer.

Background: Infectious complications after hip fracture surgery are common in the elderly. Although experimental studies have suggested that kampo medicine, Hochu-ekki-to and Juzen-taiho-to, can prevent infectious complications, only a few small clinical studies have been published to date.
Primary Study Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of Hochu-ekki-to or Juzen-taiho-to on postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture.

Therefore, reducing operative stress as much as possible, minimizing complications after surgery, and aiming for a satisfactory postoperative course are important. However, difficult and unresolvable situations often arise when only the conventional Western medicine approach is used because the situation and condition varies for each patient.
