Abstract: |
Spirits of wine is one of the pathogenetic factors of liver damage which is merely secondary to hepatitis virus. The incidence of fatty liver in Chinese adults is 5%-9% now. It is reported that interleukin-8 (IL-8) and lipid peroxidation play an important role in development of alcoholic fatty liver and liver damage(1-3). The authors have observed the therapeutic effect in 30 patients of alcoholic fatty liver treated with Chinese herbal drugs for Liver-clearing, Dampness-removing and Collaterals-dredging (abbre. as CHD) from Aug. 1999 to June 2001 and explored the relationship between the effects of treatment and some indices, including IL-8, malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). |
