Thepatients took orally SA-B tablets or received muscularinjection of IFN-γ in the double blind randomized test,The complete course lasted 6 months. The histologicalchanges of liver biopsy specimen before and after thetreatment were the main evidence in evaluation, incombination with the results of contents of serum HA,LN, Ⅳ-C, P-Ⅲ-P, liver ultrasound imaging, andsymptoms and signs.RESULTS: Reverse rate of fibrotic stage was 36.67 % inSA-B group and 30.0 % in IFN-γgroup. Inflammatoryalleviating rate was 40.0 % in SA-B group and 36.67 %in IFN-γ group. The average content of HA and Ⅳ-Cwas significantly lower than that before treatment. Theabnormal rate also decreased remarkably. Overallanalysis of 4 serological fibrotic markers showedsignificant improvement in SA-B group as comparedwith the IFN-γgroup. Score of liver ultrasound imagingwas lower in SA-B group than in IFN-γgroup (HA 36.7 %vs80 %,Ⅳ-C 3.3 % vs23.2 %). Before the treatment,ALT AST activity and total bilirubin content of patientswho had regression of fibrosis after oral administrationof SA-B, were significantly lower than those of patientswho had aggravation of fibrosis after oraladministration of SA-B. IFN-γ showed certain sideeffects (fever and transient decrease of leukocytes,occurrence rates were 50 % and 3.23 %), but SA-Bshowed no side effects.CONCLUSION: SA-B could effectively reverse liverfibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. SA-B was better than IFN-γ in reduction of serum HA content, overall decrease of4 serum fibrotic markers, and decrease of ultrasoundimaging score. Liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B withslight liver injury was more suitable to SA-B in anti-fibrotic treatment. SA-B showed no obvious side effects.展开更多
