[Objective] To analyze relations between alcoholic liver disease(ALD) and gut-liver axis, and the intervention effects of Linderae radix(LR) on both of them. [Methods] Research reports about ALD,gut-liver axisand LR on anti ALD at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed, and effects ofgut-liver axisin the occurrence and development of ALD and LR on ALD treatment were summarized. [Results] Recent studies show that there is an abnormalgut-liver axisin ALD,gut permeability and intestinal endotoxemia(IETM) induced by excessive alcohol consumption is one of the key pathogenic factors for the occurrence and development of ALD. Improving intestinal functions to alleviate IETM would be an efficient way to treat ALD. Linderae radix (LR) is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for Qi-regulating in clinic ,it possesses a good effect for gastrointestinal function regulation and as reported in recent researches,it has shown a good protective effect on ALD by improving the abnormal gut-liver axisand alleviating IETM. [Conclusions] The abnormalgut-liver axisinduced by excessive alcohol intake is the key factor for ALD formation and development. LR possesses a protective function on ALD viagut-liver axisimprovement.
