Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the influence of Chinese drug Dahuang Zhechong pill on the hepatocellular function.Method:Thirty-seven patients with hepatocirrhosis and twelve normal controls were performed the hepatobiliary scintgraphy with Tc-99m labeled ethylene hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid(99 mTc-EHIDA),and the biochemical examination of hepatic function.There was 19 cases repeated the imaging after 6 months treated with chineses drug.By the three compartmental model configurations,the function parameters of hepatocellular extraction and excretion were calculated.Result:In the hepatocirrhosis groups,the hepatocellular uptake peak time and mean residence index were higher than those in normal controls(P<0.01).Compared to normal controls,the uptake index,uptake speed index and descendent speed index were decreased markedly(P<0.05).After treatment for 6 months with Chinese drug,the level of serum transaminase,globulin and bilirubin was lower than that before treatment.The uptake peak time and mean residence index decreased notably after treatment for 6 months(P<0.01),and the uptake index increased,(P<0.05).Conclusion:Chinese drug Dahuang Zhechong pill may improve the hepatocellular function and liver function status in patients with hepatocirrhosis.
