Research advances in traditional Chinese medicine regulation of programmed cell death in intervening against hepatic fibrosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatic fibrosis （HF） is a pathological process of abnormal repair of liver tissue structure caused by chronic liver injury， and its pathogenesis has not been fully clarified. Related studies have shown that programmed cell death may be associated with the onset of HF， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a significant effect in regulating programmed cell death to intervene against HF. This article reviews the main mechanism of the influence of programmed cell death on HF and discusses the possible mechanism of TCM regulation of programmed cell death in improving HF， which provides new ideas for TCM prevention and treatment of HF.
