ABSTRACT
Objective To probe into the inhibiting action of Compound Biejiarangan Troche on alcohol hepatic fibrosis in rats. Methods Forty Wistar male rats were divided into control, model, Compound Biejiarangan Troche and Anfate treatment groups. Alcohol hepatic fibrosis model was established by intragastrical perfusion with mixture of "alcohol-Pyrazole-coil oil" and high-fat diet for sixteen weeks. After four weeks’ intervention, changes of hepatic fibrosis index, liver tissue pathology and expression of TGF-?1 in liver tissue were observed. Results The hepatic function of model rats were changed and abnormal, with obvious fibrosis in hepatic histopathology. After intervention for four weeks, HA decreased (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between the distribution of the charactcristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic consumption. Methods Our group studied clinical cases in multi-center prospective method. In virtue of Factor Analysis, we explored the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis, and the forming characteristics of alcoholic liver fibrosis in inland. Rerults Among the subjects, the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis mainly manifested excess syndrome with the common manifestations of deficiency and excess. The visceral position was mainly in liver and spleen, related to gallbladder and stomach. The result suggested that stagnation of Qi stagnation, blood stasis, damp heat, with deficiency of genuine Qi were the interpretation of the causes of alcoholic liver fibrosis. The total alcoholic consumption was one of the important factors which effected on the distribution of thecharacteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis. Total bilirubin had mostly striking effect on the distribution of the characteristics of TCM syndrome. Conclusions The total alcoholic consumption was one of the important factors which effected on the distribution of the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To observe the effect of Chai Qin Pingwei Capsule (CQPC) on gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and regulatory genes in rats with bile reflux gastritis. [ Methods ] Wistar rats were randomized into 6 groups: sham-operation group (A), model group (B) , CQPC groups in the dosages of 16.66 (high) ,8.33 (moderate), and 4.17 (low) g/kg respectively (C, D and E respectively), Xiao Chaihu Granules group in the dosage of 10g/kg (F). Except the sham-operation group, the rats in other groups received B- II gastrojejunostomy to induce bile reflux gastritis and were treated with gastric gavage of corresponding drugs according to the experimental design for 4 weeks. Effects of CQPC on gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and the expression of p53 mRNA, Bax and Bcl-2 were observed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hybridization in situ and immunohistochemistry method. [Results] Bile reflux in the model group caused the increase of gastric mucosal cell apoptosis, the up-regulation of wild-type p53 mRNA and Bax protein expression, and the down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression, the difference being significant as compared with the sham-operation group (P
