ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effect of decoction of turtle shell for anti-fibrosis combined with stronger neo-minophagen C on the indices of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The 94 cases of chronic viral hepatitis B patients were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group was treated with stronger neo-minophagen C 100 mL dissolved in 10% dextrose 250 ml once a day intravenously, combined with decoction of turtle shell for anti-fibrosis one powder daily. And the control group was treated with stronger neo-minophagen C alone, 3 months as a course. Liver fibrosis indexes and liver function index were tested for two groups of patients before and after the treatment.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Both the difference of liver fibrosis indexes between the treatment group and the control group and before and after the treatment in the treatment group had statistical significance (P < 0.01). Both the difference of liver function index between the treatment group and the control group and before and after the treatment in the treatment group had statistical significance (P < 0.01). The basic cure rate and total effective rate were 40% and 84.0% in the treatment group and 27.27% and 86.18% in the control group respectively with significant difference. The treatment group was superior to control group in the mean size of diameter of portal vein and the thickness of spleen (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Decoction of turtle shell for anti-fibrosis combined with stronger neo-minophagen C could significantly improve the clinical efficacy and the liver fibrosis indexes and liver function index in chronic hepatitis B.</p>
