Objective To investigate the role of Jiawei-sini Dection on expression of rat transforming growth factor-β1 receptor Ⅰ,Ⅱ(TβRⅠ,TβR Ⅱ), and study its treatment of anti-HF and the possible mechanisms. Methods The model of rat hepatic fibrosis was setup by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride and drinking alcohol freely;According to random block method, the successful model rats were divided into three groups:pathological model group (group B),Fufangbiejiarangan tablet group (group C), and Jiawei Sini Decoction group (group D), each group containing ten rats. Group A and group B were given two milliliters saline, group C was given Fufangbiejiarangan tablets 0.625 grams per kilogram of body weight, group D was given Jiawei Sini liquid 15.625 grams per kilogram of body weight.Each rat was fed once a day for 8 weeks.In order to avoid the natural repair of the hepatic affecting the experimental results, the rats,except group A, were still injected 40% CCl4 three milliliters per kilogram of body weight after feeding drug once a week. Fufang-Biejia-Ruangan Ttablet group was set as a positive control;The effects on expression of TβRⅠ,TβR Ⅱ were determined by immunohistochemical method. Changes of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and TβRⅠ,TβR Ⅱ were observed in rats. Results The expression of TβRⅠ、Ⅱ, compared with the pathological model(16.63±2.69)%, (14.57±1.09)%, were significantly reduced in Jiawei-Sini Dection group[they are(8.09±0.71)%,(6.51±0.48)%, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The effects of Jiawei-Sini Dection was equal to the effect of Fufang-Biejia-Ruangan Tablets on expression of TβRⅠ,TβR Ⅱ(P>0.05). Conclusion Jiawei-Sini Dection was able to inhibit the expression of TβRⅠ and TβR Ⅱ, thus affected the combination of TGFβ1, and their receptors.

Objective To observe the effect of JWSNS serum on proliferation and apoptosis hepatic stellate cells.Methods After being added different concentrations of JWSNS (the low concentrations of JWSNS:0.78 g/ml of crude drug; the medium concentration group of JWSNS:1.56 g/ml of crude drug; the high concentration group of JWSNS:3.12 g/ml of crude drug) drug-containing serum in vitro HSC-T6 cells for 12h,24 h and 48 h respectively,detected serum HSC-T6 proliferation with MTT colorimetry method and measured HSC-T6 apoptosis with flow cytometry and TUNEL method.Results (①) After applied JWSNS on rats HSC-T6,the Cell proliferation was inhibited which showed a time-concentration dependence.The differences were significant when comparing each JWSNS group with the control group (P<0.01).High concentration of JWSNS group showed significant difference when compared with Biejiaruangan tablets group (P<0.05) with high concentration of JWSNS (0.399± 0.041) % after 48h,and Biejia-Ruangan tablets (0.429± 0.037) % after 48 h.② Flow cytometry analysis showed each JWSNS group and Biejiaruangan tablets group had significant increased cell apoptosis when compared with the control group (P<0.05) after 12 h,24 h,and 48 h.JWSNS medium concentration group [12 h was (17.83±0.25)%,24 h was (26.06±0.26)%,48 h was (39.30±2.25) %] and JWSNS high concentration group [12 h was (27.15±0.29)%,24 h was (38.96±0.51)%,48 h was (49.34± 0.77) %] had a significant increased cell apoptosis compared to the Biejia-Ruangan tablets group [ 12 h was (8.31 ± 0.30) %,24 h was (16.25 ± 0.25) %,48 h was (27.12± 0.39) %].③ TUNEL detection showed that each concentration of JWSNS group [the low concentration of JWSNS:was (25.1 ± 1.48)%,medium concentration group of JWSNS was(39.30±2.25)%,high concentration group of JWSNS was(39.30±2.25)%] had a significant increased cell apoptosis rate than Biejiaruangan tablets group (30.0± 3.92) after 48 h (P<0.01).Conclusion JWSNS containing serum can inhibit the proliferation of HSC-T6 in vitro,promote the apoptosis
