Efficacy of Tiaogan Huaxian Pills in Prevention and Treatment of Hepatic Fibrosis in Hepatitis B and Its Effect on Diffusion-weighted Imaging
To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Tiaogan Huaxian pills combined with entecavir on hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B with liver Qi stagnation, spleen deficiency, and blood stasis syndrome and its effect on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).
Method
2
Clinical data of 117 patients with liver disease who visited the Department of Hepatology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different treatment plans, they were divided into a control group (59 cases) and a treatment group (58 cases). Both groups of patients received entecavir-based etiology treatment, and the treatment group added Tiaogan Huaxian pills on the basis of basic treatment. Both groups were treated for 24 weeks. Before and after treatment, the two groups were compared in terms of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), advanced surgical technologies (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA conversion rate, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), four items of liver fibrosis (hyaluronidase, type Ⅲ pro-collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, and laminin), the fibrosis index based on four factors (FIB-4), the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, so as to analyze the efficacy of the two groups.
Result
2
Before treatment, there was no significant difference in ALT, AST, TBil, LSM, four items of liver fibrosis, FIB-4, APRI, HBV-DNA conversion rate, ADC value, and traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores between the two groups. After treatment, both groups of patients showed significant reductions in ALT, AST, TBil, LSM, hyaluronidase, type Ⅲ pro-collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, laminin, FIB-4, and APRI (
P
<
0.05) and a significant increase in ADC value (
P
<
0.05) and HBV-DNA conversion rate (
P
<
0.01). The traditional Chinese medicine symptom score of the treatment group decreased significantly (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the effective rate of clinical traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment group was 91.38% (53/58), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (54.23%, 32/59) (
Z
=-4.325,
P
<
0.01). In the treatment group, ALT, AST, TBil, LSM, hyaluronidase, type Ⅲ pro-collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, laminin, FIB-4, APRI, and traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores all decreased significantly (
P
<
0.05), and the increase in ADC values was more significant (
P
<
0.05), while the difference in HBV-DNA conversion rate was not statistically significant. There were no serious adverse reactions or events in either group.
Conclusion
2
Tiaogan Huaxian pills combined with entecavir have significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B, which can reduce liver inflammation activity, delay hepatic fibrosis progression, and reduce traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
