Objective: To study curative effect of chronical hepatitis B with treatment of integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine.
Method: 115 cases of HBeAg and/or HBVDNA positive chronical hepatitis B were randomly divided into two groups in control. The first group treated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-Fufang Huangqi granule and the second treated by intergrative traditional Chinese and western medicine (ICWM)-Fufang Huangqi granule and lamivudine for at least 24 weeks.
Result: The positive rate of HBVDNA at 12, 24 weeks, and the positive rate of HBeAg at 24 weeks in TCM are markedly lower than those of before treatment (P < 0.01). The positive rate of HBeAg and the positive rate of HBVDNA in ICWM are markedly lower than those of before treatment both at 12, 24 weeks (P < 0.01). The average values of HBVDNA are markly lower than before treatment in two groups at both 12,24 weeks (P < 0.01). At 12 weeks, the negative-turning rate of HBVDNA in the ICWM group is 79.17%, which shows significant difference in comparision with 40.00% in the TCM group (P < 0.01). The negative-turning rate of HBeAg in the ICWM group is 26.92%, which shows no significant difference in comparision with 32. 08% in the TCM group. At 24 weeks, the negative-turning rate of HBVDNA in the ICWM group is 85.71%, which shows significant difference in comparision with 50.00% in the TCM group (P < 0.01). The negative-turning rate of HBeAg in the ICWM group is 36.36%, which shows no significant difference in comparision with 28.57% in the TCM group. At 12 weeks,the total effective rate of the ICWM group is 96. 43%, which shows significant difference in comparision with 71.26% in the TCM group (P<0.01). At 24 weeks, the total effective rate of the ICWM group is 88. 00%, which shows significant difference in comparision with 67.61 % in the TCM group (P < 0.01). The average values of ALT and AST are markly improved than those of before treatment in two groups (P < 0.01). The average values of ALB is markly higher than before in TCM groups after 24 weeks treatment (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Fufang Huangqi granule integrated with lamivudine possesses a better effect for counteracting the hepatitis B virus and improving the liver functioin than only itself.
