Objective: To observe the effect of compound modified SiNi powder(JWSNS) on liver fibrosis in Schistosoma japonicum-infected Mice. Method: The NIH mice were successfully induced to liver fibrosis by infection with S. japonicum and then randomly divided into groups B
C
D and E.The mice in groups C
D and E were treated with praziquantel
praziquantel plus JWSNS and praziquantel plus colchicine
respectively.In addition
a group of unfected NIH mice(group A) served as normal control.Histological specimens were stained with HE.Expression of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen were determined by Immunohistochemistry(IHC). Result: The protein levels of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in praziquantel plus JWSNS group(group D) were significantly lower than those in model group(grop B)
praziquantel group(group C) and praziquantel plus colchicine group(group E)(P<0.05).These findings showed JWSNS can reduced the hepatic expression of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in mice with liver fibrosis. Conclusion: JWSNS combined with praziquantel can decrease the expression of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen and implove liver fibrosis due to S. japonicum.
