Abstract
Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF)-based therapy is among the most efficient and crucial therapeutics for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which indicates that TwHF is a potential source of novel anti-RA drugs. However, accumulating studies have observed that TwHF-based therapy induces multi-organ toxicity, which prevents the wide use of this herb in clinical practice, although several recent studies have attempted to reduce the toxicity of TwHF. Notably, our research group developed a "Clinical Practice Guideline for Tripterygium Glycosides/Tripterygium wilfordii Tablets in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis" (No. T/CACM 1337-2020) approved by the China Association of Chinese Medicine to standardize the clinical application of TwHF-based therapy and thus avoid adverse effects. Although great strides have been made toward the characterization of TwHF-based therapy and revealing its underlying pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms, several crucial gaps in knowledge remain as potential barriers to enhance its therapeutic effects on the premise of safety assurance. This review offers a global view of TwHF, ranging from its chemical constituents, quality control, clinical observations, and underlying pharmacological mechanisms to toxic manifestations and mechanisms. We focus on the important and emerging aspects of this field and highlight the major challenges and strategies for using novel techniques and approaches to gain new insights into unresolved questions. We hope that this review will improve the understanding of TwHF application and draw increasing interdisciplinary attention from clinicians that practice both Chinese and Western medicine, basic researchers, and computer scientists.

Abstract
Polygoni Mulitiflori Radix, or dried root tuber of Polygonum multiflorum(PM), is a traditional Chinese tonic medicine, with the effect in nourishing liver and kidney, and benefiting blood essence and hair. It is widely used in clinical and healthcare products. In recent years, more and more reports about adverse reactions of root tuber of P.multiflorum and its preparations have been reported. Fortunately, there is also substantial progress in the experimental study on liver injury induced by PM. According to the literature review, the possible causes of liver injury were found to be the mixture of raw and processed PM and long-term high-dose administration. In addition, the liver injury induced by PM is idiosyncratic liver injury, and individual factors are also the important cause. At the same time, according to the literature reports, the effects of chemical components in different pathological animal models were summarized, finding that 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside was the main component for liver injury; based on the clinical manifestations of liver injury induced by PM, the effects of some chemical components on bilirubin and bile acid metabolism were analyzed. This paper reviews the study progress of liver injury induced by PM.
