Hepatic fibrosis is a pathologic process that every kind of disease cause liver injure and inflammation.It is the hallmark of most chronic liver diseases. Its essense is excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in liver, which occurs due to an imbalance between the production and degradation of matrix. Collagen is the most important part of ECM.In previous studies, Hepatic fibrosis is limited to a passive stationary state. With the development of molecular biological technology, People have made large progress in many ways,such as hepatic stellate cell activation, Establishment of Animal Model , cytokine signaling ,the molecular targeted therapyin Hepatic fibrosis and so on . transforming growth factor-β1 ,tissue inhibit of metallo Proteinase and extracellular matrix components have become a hotspot for research.In current research work, anti-hepatic fibrosis drug main contents include the type of cytoprotection, hepatic stellate cell activation, Cytokines activity, suppressed extracellular matrix production and secretion, Promote degradation of extracellular matrix, traditional medicine monomer and Chinese Herbal Compound. But HF is a complex process there is no established therapy for hepatic fibrosis。The characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment are multiple positions, multiple links and multiple targets. There are much superiority in the prevention and treatment on Diabetes Mellitus. And now, to search the traditional medicine drugs or the extract of these drugs is important in the prevention and treatment of HF. If we can explore the possible mechanisms of these drugs, it will benefit the TCM modernization, the treatment of HF.To study the effect of Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula on the effect of immunity hepatic fibrosis rats induced by pig's serum. Investigate on Pathological Mechanism of Hepatic fibrosis,so that provide theoretical and experimental basis for treating liver fibrosis.ObjectivesThe aim was to study the effect of The ZhuoDu theory in the position of Therapy for Hepatic Fibrosis, and explore its possible mechanism.. The research included preliminary Study of The ZhuoDu theory on Therapy for Hepatic Fibrosis, effect of Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula on the levels of serum ALT,AST,ALB,TP and Pathomorphology in hepatic fibrosis rats;effect of Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula on the levels of serum HA,LN,PCⅢ,CIV and Pathomorphology in hepatic fibrosis rats;Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula on the expression of TGF-β1 in liver tissue of hepatic fibrosis rats; Huazhuo Yiqi'formula on the expression of TIMP-1 in liver tissue of hepatic fibrosis rats.MethodsTotal 60 clean male Wistar rats weighed 200~220 grams were randomly divided into six groups:namely,the normal group, the model group, colchicine prevention group,(C Prevention group for short),Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula Prevention group(HJY Prevention group for short), colchicine treatment group(C treatment group), Huazhuo Jiedu Yiqi'formula treatment group(HJY reatment group)with 10 rats for each group .In addition to the normal group,pig's serum( 0.5ml per mouse, twice a week) was established in rats by intraperitoneal injection for eight weeks. The drugs were given through stomach-perfusion to C Prevention group and HJY Prevention group at the beginning of experiment.The drugs are given at the same time every day.The treatment groups were given drug at the end of the eighth week. The rats in the normal control and model groups received intragastric administration of saline(2ml each time).Five rats were killed in each group at the 8th and 12th weekend. We draw blood from abdominal aorta, ALT,AST level were measured with Reit′s method; The contents of TP andAlb were measured using biurea method and bromocresol green method ;HA,LN,PCⅢ,CⅣlevel were measured with radioimmunoassay(RIA). The specimens were taken and the degree of hepatic fibrosis was judged by routine haematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining.TGF-β1 protein and mRNA expression were determined using immunohistochemical technique and RT-PCR.TIMP-1 protein and mRNA expression were determined using immunohistochemical technique and RT-PCR .Data was collected and analyzed through t test or analysis of variance. The statistic software was SPSS. Differences with P values <0.05 were considered significant.Results1 Effect of Huazhuo JieDu Yiqi'formula on the levels of serum ALT,AST,ALB,TP and pathomorphology in hepatic fibrosis rats.1.1 Effect of Huazhuo JieDu Yiqi'formula on the levels of serum ALT,AST,ALB,TP in hepatic fibrosis rats.Compared with the normal group, the content of ALT and AST was significantly increased with liver injure in the model group(P<0.05).
