Background: "Jiedu Huayu" (JDHY) granules are traditional Chinese herbal compounds that have been used to treat severe liver injury for many years. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the safety of JDHY granules.

Methods: Subchronic toxicity was tested in male and female rats that were orally administered three different doses (80, 100, and 130 g/kg/d) of JDHY for 13 weeks. Clinical signs, bodyweight, food consumption, hematological and biochemical parameters, organ coefficients, and histological changes were observed during the study.

Results: There were no significant changes in toxicity observed in either sex at any dose of JDHY granules treatment.

Conclusions: These results suggest that repeated oral administration of JDHY granules at dosage levels of ≤130 g/kg/d can be considered safe.

Objective: To research the influence of Chinese medicine Jiedu Huayu granules (JDHY) on the immune response and inflammatory response of rats with acute liver failure (ALF) and investigate its related mechanism.

Methods: Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group ( = 6) were injected with the same amount of normal saline; ALF group ( = 10) were injected intraperitoneally with D-GaIN (700 mg/kg) and LPS (10 g/kg); ALF+JDHY group ( = 10) were given JDHY 57.55 g/kg/d by gavage for 7 days and injected intraperitoneally with D-GaIN/LPS after the last dose; and ALF+BAY group ( = 10) were given BAY 10 mg/kg/d by gavage for 7 days and injected intraperitoneally with D-GaIN/LPS after the last dose.

To study and explore the effect and mechanism of action of Jieduhuayu granules on oxidative injury of human liver L02 cells. Human liver L02 oxidative injury model was established with 0.1 mmol/ L H(2)O(2) intervention for 1 h, and treated with different concentrations of Jieduhuayu (JDHY) solution.

Purpose: Jie-Du-Hua-Yu (JDHY) granules are a traditional Chinese medicine with known therapeutic effects for the treatment of acute liver failure (ALF). This study explored the potential molecular mechanism(s) of JDHY granules in promoting liver regeneration and preventing ALF.

Methods: Rat models of ALF were constructed through administration of D-galactosamine (D-GalN) (600 mg/kg) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (20 g/kg).

Objectives: Jie-Du-Hua-Yu (JDHY) granule is a combination of six traditional Chinese medicines with known therapeutic effect in treating acute liver failure (ALF). The aim of this study was to investigate the amelioration efficacy of JDHY in lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN)-induced ALF in rat and explore the possible molecular mechanism underlying the therapeutic efficacy.

Materials And Methods: The efficacy of JDHY was determined by assessing hepatic pathology and function in LPS and D-GalN challenged Wistar rat.
