Results A total effective in group A 19 cases(76.0%) were higher than in B group 15 cases (60.0%) (x~2 = 3.87, P ＜ 0.05) ;The clinical symptoms and signs in A、B group after treatment were better than before treatment(x~2 = 3. 87 ～ 6. 89,P ＜ 0.05 ～ 0.01) ;The clinical symptoms and signs in A group after treatment were better than B group(x~2 = 3.88 ～ 4. 12. ,all P ＜0.05) ;The indicators of biochemical in A、B group after treatment were lower than before treatment(t = 2. 214 ～ 2. 517, P ＜ 0.05); The indicators of biochemical of ALP、GGT、ALT in A group decreased significantly compared with B group(t = 2. 284 ～ 2. 418, P ＜0.05).
