title: [Clinical effects of Juzendaiho-to on immunologic and fatty metabolic states in postoperative patients with gastrointestinal cancer].
abstract: Juzen-daiho-to is one of the Chinese traditional medicines which is usually applied with patients suffering from anemia or chronic exhaustive disease. Twenty-three patients after gastrectomy and 16 patients after colectomy were studied for NK cell activity, blastogenesis by PHA, several T-lymphocyte subsets, serum triglyceride and serum lipo-protein before drug administration at one, three, six, nine months and one year after the start of drug administration respectively. A remarkable elevation in NK cell activity was noted 3 and 6 months after the drug administration. Statistical analysis shows a significant converse correlation between NK cell activity and lipo-protein value in the group given Juzendaiho-to.
