Ethnopharmacological relevance: The AnluoHuaxian pill (AHP) is a widely used patented medicine for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis that has been used in China for more than 15 years. However, data are lacking on whether monotherapy with AHP can be effective in CHB patients with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels less than 2 times the upper limit of normal (ALT<2ULN) and early liver fibrosis (F <= 2). Aim of the study: We aimed to investigate whether monotherapy with AHP improves liver histology in these patients. Materials and methods: In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 270 CHB patients with ALT<2ULN and F <= 2 were treated in 12 hospitals in China. The patients were randomly assigned to an intervention (AHP) group and a placebo group at a ratio of 2:1. Of these 270 enrolled patients, 147 had paired liver biopsies. The primary end point was histological change after 48 weeks of treatment. Results: Per-protocol analysis revealed that the rate of histologic improvement in liver fibrosis patients in the AHP group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group (37.7% vs. 19.5%, P = 0.035) after 48 weeks of treatment, which was consistent with results from intention-to-treat and sensitivity analyses. Moreover, after adjusting for baseline characteristics, AHP was superior to placebo with respect to improving liver fibrosis (odds ratio [OR] = 2.58, 95% confidence interval [CI]: (1.01, 6.63),P = 0.049) and liver histology (OR = 3.62, 95% CI: (1.42, 9.20),P = 0.007). In noninvasive measurement of liver fibrosis (FibroScan (R)), the level of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) had decreased significantly at 48 weeks (5.1 kPa) compared with that at baseline (5.7 kPa) (P = 0.008) in the AHP group, whereas it did not decrease significantly in the placebo group. Cirrhosis developed in one patient in the placebo group but in no patients in the AHP group. No serious side effects occurred in the AHP-treated patients. Conclusions: Treatment of CHB patients who had ALT<2ULN and F <= 2 with the traditional Chinese medicine AHP for 48 weeks improves liver fibrosis. However, due to the short duration of treatment and the limited sample size of liver pathology, the long-term benefits of AHP in reducing fibrosis and the risk of cirrhosis and hepato-cellular carcinoma in these patients need to be further studied in the future.
目的:观察中医特色慢病管理对乙型肝炎肝硬化营养不良患者的影响.方法:选取2018年4月至2019年5月从广东省中医院肝病科出院的乙型肝炎肝硬化肝肾阴虚型营养不良患者60例为研究对象,按照随机数字表法分为对照组和中医慢病管理组,每组30例.对照组患者给予常规的中西医内科治疗方案,中医慢病管理组患者在对照组的基础上给予个性化的中医健康调养方案.干预12周后观察两组患者在主观综合营养评估(SGA)、营养相关生化指标(血清白蛋白、前白蛋白、总胆固醇)、中医症状积分及生活质量评分(SF-36)是否存在差异.结果:干预12周后,两组患者的SGA评分均较治疗前降低,但中医慢病管理组的SGA评分较对照组降低更明显(P<0.05).在营养相关的生化指标方面,干预后中医慢病管理组患者的血清白蛋白、前白蛋白水平较前明显升高(P<0.05),而对照组患者干预前后无明显变化(P>0.05),但两组患者的总胆固醇水平均较干预前无明显变化(P>0.05).干预后两组患者的中医症状和生活质量都有所改善,但中医慢病管理组患者的中医症状和生活质量改善更明显(P<0.05).结论:在常规中西医内科治疗的基础上联合中医特色慢病管理方案可有效改善乙型肝炎肝硬化营养不良患者的营养状态,减轻患者临床症状,提高患者生活质量.
Background: In recent years, more and more studies revealed that liver fibrosis progression could happen at early stage in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. However, there is no anti-fibrotic agent available at present in modern medicine.He-He-Shu-YangParticles (HHSYP) and Anluohuaxian Pills (AHP)are two commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) agents for liver fibrosis, but there is no data of them for early liver fibrosis(F1 or F2) in multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety ofHHSYP plus AHP for early liver fibrosis in CHB patients. Methods/design: For the 72-week randomized controlled study, 480 CHB patients with early liver fibrosis are randomly assigned at a 2:1 ratio to two groups: the intervention group and the placebo group. The intervention group was treated with HHSYP plus AHP. The placebo group was treated with placebo of HHSYP and AHP. The primary end point is the histological change after 72-week treatment. Discussion: Although previous studies have confirmed the anti-fibrosis efficacy of HHSYP and AHP in CHB patients, the efficacy and safety of their combination treatment for early liver fibrosis is still not clear.Therefore, this will be the first multicenter randomized trial to prove the efficacy and safety of combination TCM treatment of HHSYP and AHP for early liver fibrosis, which will use histological changes as the primary end point. This will provide reliable data for the TCM combination treatment of early liver fibrosis and might give a new direction for further international studies on liver fibrosis. Ethics and dissemination: This study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine (BF2018-175-01) and all other participating centers (Project number2018ZX10725506-003).The study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at the national and international conferences.

The aim of this study was to determine if microRNA (miRNA) expression is different among chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with early liver fibrosis classified according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes. Eighteen CHB-fibrosis patients and 12 CHB patients without fibrosis were enrolled. The CHB-fibrosis group included 9 patients with the TCM syndrome of Ganyu Pixu Xueyu (GYPXXY), characterized by liver stagnation, spleen deficiency, and blood stasis, and 9 patients with the TCM syndrome of Qixu Xueyu (QXXY), characterized by deficiency of qi, blood, and blood stasis. Agilent miRNA microarray was performed first in liver specimens to determine whether miRNA expression is different in patients with these two TCM syndromes of CHB-fibrosis. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and KEGG analysis were applied to determine the roles of the differentially expressed miRNAs. QRT-PCR was performed to validate the Agilent miRNA microarray results. Compared with GYPXXY patients, 6 differentially expressed miRNAs were upregulated (miR-144-5p, miR-18a-5p, miR-148b-3p, miR-654-3p, miR-139-3p, and miR-24-1-5p) and 1 was downregulated (miR-6834-3p) in QXXY patients. According to qRT-PCR data, miR-144-5p and miR-654-3p were confirmed as upregulated in CHB-liver fibrosis patients compared to CHB patients without fibrosis, whereas the other 4 miRNAs were not significantly different. More importantly, miR-654-3p was confirmed to be significantly upregulated in QXXY patients compared with values in GYPXXY patients, whereas no significant difference was found in miR-144-5p. Moreover, the pathways of central carbon metabolism in cancer and cell cycle related to miR-654-3p and the target genes of PTEN and ATM were found to be different between QXXY patients and GYPXXY patients. These results indicate that there are different miRNAs, pathways, and target genes between QXXY patients and GYPXXY patients. However, due to the limited sample, whether miR-654-3p and the target genes PTEN and ATM could be molecular markers to differentiate TCM syndromes could not be established.

Bicyclol, the most commonly-used liver hepatoprotective drug in China, is often selected to control disease progression in CHB patients who refuse anti-viral treatment. However, data on histological changes after bicyclol treatment in these patients are scarce. Therefore, this study has been conducted to find out whether bicyclol has good benefits of histological improvement in CHB patients who refuse anti-viral agents. The demographic, clinical and pathological data were collected from CHB patients who received bicyclol from January 2010 to June 2016. Improvement in liver inflammation or fibrosis is defined as at least one-grade or one-stage decrease as measured by the Scheuer scoring system. Thirty patients treated with ETV for 48 weeks were chosen as a control group to compare the histological improvement between bicyclol and entecavir (ETV) after 48-week treatment. A total of 123 patients with CHB treated with bicyclol were included in this study. Paired liver biopsies were performed in 70 patients. Inter-biopsy interval was 17.44 ± 8.90 months (12–60 months). As shown by facts, 41.4% patients achieved liver inflammation improvement, while only 10.0% patients showed liver inflammation progression after bicyclol treatment. In regarding to liver fibrosis, as shown by facts, 28.6% patients achieved fibrosis improvement. More importantly, It was found that the proportions of patients with liver inflammation and fibrosis improvement were both not significantly lower than those in ETV group (53.3% vs 63.3 and 36.7% vs 43.4%). Most of patients (82.4%) with elevated baseline ALT became normal after bicyclol treatment. More importantly, as shown by the multi-variate analysis, the treatment course of bicyclol was an independent factor for liver inflammation improvement. With the HBeAg status adjusted, ALT and HBV-DNA quantity, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of patients with ≥48-week treatment was 5.756 (1.893,17.500) when compared with patients via < 48-week treatment. Bicyclol can improve liver inflammation and the ALT normalization rate of CHB patients, especially when the treatment course is prolonged. This has confirmed that bicyclol could control hepatitis activity, which might be a good choice for CHB patients who refuse anti-viral treatments.

OBJECTIVE:To demonstrate the potential to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with colon hydrotherapy (CHT) plus Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).METHODS:A total of 20 patients were enrolled into the study and received CHT with TCM for 2 weeks. Body mass index (BMI) and levels of serum triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were compared between pre-treatment and post-treatment.RESULTS:Two-week treatment with CHT plus TCM significantly lowered BMI and reduced blood lipids. BMI decreased from 29.5 4.3 to 25.4 1.0, while mean TG levels decreased by 0.70 mmol/L on average from baseline and mean TC levels decreased by 0.37 mmol/L. Forty-five percent of patients exhibited TC decreasing by more than 10% from baseline and 25% of patients exhibited TC decreasing by more than 20%. Sixty percent of patients exhibited TG decreasing by more than 20% and 20% of patients exhibited TG decreasing by more than 40%. However, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels did not change significantly after intervention. No serious adverse events were reported.CONCLUSION:Our findings suggest that CHT plus TCM to treat NAFLD is promising and it might be a new treatment strategy for management of NAFLD.
