1.Effects of FuYuan capsule on the expression of TIMP-1 and TGF-?1 in liver of hepatic fibrosis in Rats
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(02):-
Objective:To study the effects of FuYuan capsule on rat liver fibrosis induced by pig serum.Methods:The rats were randomly divided into six groups,including the normal group,the model group,the low,middle and high dose FuYuan capsule group,and the positive control group(compound Biejiaruangan-chip solution).The rat models of immune liver fibrosis were induced with pig serum.Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in serum were detected with autoumatic biochemical analyzer.Hyaluronan(HA),laminin(LN).IV collagen(IV-C)and the typeⅢcollagen(PCⅢ)in serum were quantified by radiative-immune technology.The expression of TIMP-1(tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1)and TGF-?1(transforming growth factor?-1)in the liver were observed by immunohistochemical assay.Results:ALT,AST,HA,LN,IV-C and PCⅢin the model group were significantly higher than those in the other group(sP

Objective: To investigate effects of Erbie Decoction on the hepatocyte apoptosis-related factors Fas/Fas-L in rat with liver fi brosis,and to explore its anti-fi brosis mechanism. Methods: To Induce immune Liver fibrosis of rat model were established by intraperitoneal injection of pig serum. 48 rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, pretreatment groups(high, middle and low dose groups of Erbie Decoction, and Fufang Biejia Ruangan Pills group. One week after the feeding adaptation, in addition to the normal group, other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of pig serum, each rat with 0.5ml, twice a week. At the same time, pretreatment groups were given intragastric administration daily. After 9 weeks, the expression of TGF-?1 and Fas/Fas-L were detected with immunohistochemistry assay. Results: Compared with normal group, in model group, TGF-?1 and Fas/Fas-L increased obviously(P
