RESUMEN
Objectives The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of valsartan on hepapetic fibrosis. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: valsartan -prevetive group (A), modle group of hepatic fibrosis (B)and valsar-tan-treating group (C). The model of hepatic fibrosis in rats was induced by intraperitoneai injection of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) for 4 weeks(2ml/kg everyday, three times a week). Valsartan (10mg/kg everyday) was given together with injection of DMN per intrngastric (Ig) in group A for 8 weeks. After stop injection of DMN, the S valsartan(10mg/kg, everyday)was given per Ig in group C for 4 weeks. After modeling, normal saline were given per Ig everyday in group B. At the end of eighth week, the histomorphylogic structure of the liver was ob-served with light microscope. Immunohistoebemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of a-SMA. Results In group B, there was a large necrotic area and a number of pesudolobes appeared in the liver tissue. In group A, there were normal hepatic cords. In the group C, there was fibrosis interval formation and portal area expansion and fibrotie intervals extending to the lobule. The quantitative analysis of Mas-son staining showed that the collagen quantities in group B was higher than that of other group(P<0.01). The collagen quantities in group A was lower than that of group C(P<0.05). The results of immanohistochemical staining showed that the expression of a-SMA in group B was strong positive, middle positive in group C, and weak positive in group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The valsartan has preventive and treatment effects on hepatic fibrosis in rats of hepatic fibrosis model induced by DMN, and the preventive effect of valsartan is better than its treatment effect. The valsartan can ameliorate the hver cirrhosis by partly suppressing the activation of HSC.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effects of Sanjia Yigan Granule (S-JG) on hepatic fibrosis and explore its mechanism related to anti-lipid peroxidation in rats. Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, model group, and compound Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Sm) group and S-JG group. Dimethylnitrosamine was injected intraperitoneally for 4 weeks to induce hepatic fobrosis. At the same time of modeling, Sm and S-JG were given in the corresponding groups. The rats were killed after four weeks. The histomorphylogic structure of the liver tissues was observed under optical microscope; the levels of MDA and SOD in serum were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with those in normal group, the collagen area in Masson staining and level of serum MDA were inreased obviously, and the level of serum SOD was dereased obviously in model group (P
