Abstract: Objective To analyze the improvement of clinical symptoms and hepatic fibrosis in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC) by compound Biejiaruangan tablets. Methods A total of 78 patients with PBC were admitted to our hospital between January 2016 and December 2017,and they were divided into the control group (n=37) and observation group(n=41). Patients in the control group were treated with ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA) capsules,and patients in the observation group were treated with combination of compound Biejiaruangan tablets and UDCA for 24 weeks. trol group. The scores of PBC-40 scale,liver function tests and serum type III procollagen n-terminal peptide (PC-III),laminin (LN) and type IV collagen (IV-C) were compared between the two groups. Results At the end of 24-week observation,the fatigue score in the observation group was (18.5±5.5),the itching score was (4.7±1.3),and social intercourse score was (14.4±3.9),all significantly lower than(25.5±7.0),(5.1±1.5),and(19.2±4.6)(P<0.05) before treatment,and the scores of fatigue and social intercourse in observation group were significantlylower than (23.2±5.5) and (18.1±4.9) in control group(P<0.05);serum levels of ALT,AST,GGT and AKP in observation group were(90.2±17.6) U/L,(81.5±14.8) U/L,(187.1±16.3) U/L,(117.5±28.1) IU/L,significantly lower than(133.6±24.6) U/L,(124.9±14.9) U/L,(350.4±18.9) U/L and (484.1±52.3) IU/L before treatment (P<0.05),or than(101.3±15.3) U/L,(95.3±18.0) U/L,(199.8±15.7) U/L,(152.6±21.3) IU/L,respectively,in control group(P<0.05);serum PC-III,LN and IV-C levels in observation group were (120.9±20.0) μg/L,(123.4±16.9) μg/L,(92.5±18.5)μg/L,significantly lower than (193.5±30.0) μg/L,(160.4±20.1) μg/L,(180.2±21.3) μg/L before treatment (P<0.05),or than (131.6±21.5) μg/L,(136.8±15.4) μg/L,(109.4±10.0) μg/L,respectively,in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Compound Biejiaruangan tablets has a good curative effect on patients with PBC,it could alleviate clinical symptoms and improve liver fibrosis.
