Effects and Significance of Shenqi Yigan Decoction on Liver Function and Index of Hepatic Fibrosis in Patients with Hepatitis B Fibrosis before and after Treatment
To investigate the therapeutic effects of Shenqi Yigan Decoction on hepatitis B fibrosis,and to analyze the changes and significance of liver function and liver fibrosis indexes before and after treatment.Methods:A total of 102 patients with hepatitis B fibrosis admitted to Rizhao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2014 to December 2015 were randomly divided into a control group(n=51)and an observation group(n=51).The control group was treated with routine liver-protecting drugs.The observation group was treated with Shenqi Yigan Decoction on the basis of the control group.One course was 3 months,and both groups were treated for 2 consecutive courses.The clinical efficacy,the improvement of symptoms and signs before and after treatment in the 2 groups was counted.The ultrasound imaging indicators of the 2 groups before and after the treatment were compared.The changes of serum liver function and liver fibrosis indexes before and after treatment were compared between the 2 groups.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was 8431%,and the total effective rate in the control group was 6863%.The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<005).Compared with before treatment,the proportion of patients with symptoms and signs such as liver swelling or pain,fatigue,loss of appetite,abnormal stool and dark complexion in the 2 groups decreased significantly after treatment(P<005 or P<001),and the proportion of patients with other symptoms and signs in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<001).Compared with before treatment,the diameter of portal vein and spleen indices,serum ALT,AST,TBil,HA,PIII P,LN levels in the 2 groups after treatment and IV-C levels in the observation group were significantly decreased than those in the control group,and the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group(P<005 or P<001).The right hepatic oblique diameter in the observation group was significantly reduced(P<005),while there was no significant change in the control group(P>005).Conclusion:Shenqi Yigan Decoction can significantly improve liver function,inhibit liver fibrosis and improve clinical symptoms and signs of patients with hepatitis B fibrosis.
