ABSTRACT
To systemically analyze the efficacy and safety of Babaodan Capsules in treatment of viral hepatitis. Databases such as CNKI,Wan Fang Date,VIP,Sino Med,PubMed,and Cochrane Library were electronically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials about Babaodan Capsules in the treatment of viral hepatitis,from database establishment to November 11,2018. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted data according to the inclusion criteria. GRADE system was used to evaluate evidence quality,and we used the Cochrane Rev Man 5. 3 software for Meta-analysis. Six randomized controlled trials including 520 subjects were included. Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment were used as intervention measures,and the conventional treatment was used as the control measures. The results showed Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment had better efficacy on reducing the total bilirubin( MD =-16. 25,95% CI[-19. 86,-12. 63]),alanine aminotransferase( MD =-26. 62,95% CI[-41. 18,-12. 06]),total bile acid( MD=-46. 02,95%CI[-49. 18,-42. 85]) and improving clinical efficiency( RR = 1. 34,95%CI[1. 13,1. 59]) than conventional treatment alone. In addition,Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment can delay the progression of liver fibrosis to some extent. Qualitative analysis showed that the combined treatment regimen was more effective in relieving clinical symptoms. There was no significant difference between the two regimens in increasing albumin and prothrombin activity. Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment showed no adverse reactions. In summary,for patients with viral hepatitis,the combination of Babaodan Capsules and conventional treatment has more advantages in reducing total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and total bile acid and is more effective in improving clinical symptoms as compared with conventional Western medicine,with no serious adverse reactions. Its clinical application with syndrome differentiation method can be considered. However,due to the limited number and quality of the original researches,more multi-center,high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed for further verification.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Babaodan capsules combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy in patients with BCLC stage B primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A total of 32 patients with BCLC B primary hepatocellular carcinoma who cannot be treated with operation in the Department of Oncology in Fujian Province Cancer Hospital from May 2010 to March 2013 were enrolled in the experimental group. According to paired design, 64 patients with BCLC B primary liver cancer who were treated with only TACE were as control. The patients of experimental group were treated with Babaodan capsules combined with TACE, and the patients of control group were treated with only TACE. Overall response rate (ORR), time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), liver function change 1 week after TACE, and post-embolization syndromes were analyzed. Measurement data were compared using t test, count data were compared with χ2test. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Log-rank method for testing. Results The ORR 1.5 month after TACE was 75.0%in experimental group and 81.3%in control group(P=0.477). The median TTP was 8.9 months(95%CI 3.1-14.7 months) in experimental group, and 5.5 months (95%CI 4.3-6.7 months) in control group (P=0.048). The median OS time was 16 months(95%CI 8.0-24.0 months) in experimental group, and 12 months(95%CI 11.0-13.0 months) in control group (P=0.159). Compared with the experimental group, the alanine transaminase 1 week after TACE in control group increased obviously (P=0.018). The incidence rate of ≥CTCAE grade 2 pain after the first time TACE in experimental group was lower than that in control group(P=0.019). Conclusion Babaodan capsules could reduce pain of HCC patients after TACE, improve liver damage after TACE,and prolong the TTP of patients with BCLC stage B HCC.
