[INTRODUCTION]
“Henshiko (Pien Tze Huang)” has been recognized as a famous Chinese medicine
for the liver diseases. But there are some problems of the efficacy to the
HCV patients and The Washington Treaty for the rear animals. The “Yojyo Henshiko”
is developed to clear these problems and its efficacy for the hepatitis (including
the HCV patients) was examined. All the clinical tests had been carried out
with good informed consent.
[RESULTS]
The “Yojyo Henshiko” was given three times per day after meal (three grams
per day) to the hepatitis patients under a control by the doctors. Improvements
of the liver functions especially in the serum levels of ALT(GPT) and AST(GOT) were observed
all of the seven patients after ten days or at least within one month. The
four of the seven patients were infected with HCV and the others were a patient
of HBV, a toxipathic hepatitis and a non-viral hepatitis with diabetic. Comparing
the serum levels with their pre-administrated values, the ALT(GPT) levels were decreased
to the twenty-one percentage and the AST(GOT) levels were to the seventy-two in
the mean values of the four HCV patients. In the others, the ALT(GPT) levels were
decreased to the thirty-three percentages and the AST(GOT) levels were to the eighty-one
in the mean values of the three hepatitis patients.
