Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was o investigate the short-term efficacy of polyene phosphatidylcholine and bicyclol combination in treatment of gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced liver injury. Methods 78 patients with gastric cancer were admitted to our hospital between May 2017 and May 2019, and all of them underwent radical resection of gastric cancer and received chemotherapy. During the treatment, the drug-induced liver injuries (DILI) was found in 40 patients. Out of them, 19 received with polyene phosphatidylcholine and 21 with polyene phosphatidylcholine and bicyclol combination therapy for liver interleukin-6 (IL-6), malondialdehyde (MDA) function protection for 4 weeks. Serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were assayed, respectively. Results At the end of four week treatment, serum alanine aminotransferase level in the combination group was (33.5±7.9)U/L, significantly lower than 【(42.4±8.8)U/L, P<0.05】, serum aspartate aminotransferase level was (34.4±5.7)U/L, much lower than 【(39.4±6.2)U/L, P<0.05】, serum alkaline phosphatase level was (60.6±14.2)U/L, significantly lower than 【(75.3±16.6)U/L, P<0.05】, while Karnofsky performance status score was (64.1±17.2), much higher than 【(48.3±14.5), P<0.05】 in the control; the rate of liver function test normalization in the combination group was 81.0%, significantly higher than 63.2%(P<0.05) in the control; serum TNF-α level in the combination group was (15.2±2.1)mg/L, significantly lower than 【(21.4±3.6)mg/L, P<0.05】, serum IL-6 level was (28.1±4.5)pg/mL, significantly lower than 【(46.2±5.9)pg/mL, P<0.05】, serum MDA level was (5.1±0.8)nmol/mL, significantly lower than 【(5.9±0.7)nmol/mL, P<0.05】, while serum SOD level was (2.3±0.5)U/mL, much higher than 【(1.8±0.4)U/mL, P<0.05】 in the control. Conclusion The application of bicyclol combined with polyene phosphatidylcholine in treatment of patients with DILI could improve liver function recovery, which might be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and cytokine burst.
