Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo assess the effect of Danshen on liver regeneration capacity of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury rats.
METHODComputer retrieval of data from CJFD, CBM, Chinese science & technology journal full-text database and Chinese medical association digital journals, and such foreign databases as PubMed, EMBASE and SCI was included in the randomized controlled trials (RCT) of rat liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride,with the search as at May 2012. A Meta analysis was made using Rev-Man 5.1 software. Using the GRADE system to addess five outcomes in stuay.
RESULTTwo hundred and fourteen rats got involved in seven randomized trials. Meta analysis showed there were statistical differences between the Danshen group and the control group in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and hyaluronic acid (HA) after rat liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride. When we used system to each outcome, because of serious limitations and indirect, they are all very low quality.
CONCLUSIONDanshen shows certain promoting effect to liver regeneration in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury rats.
