Methods: Matched the inclusion criteria, 60 patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group had 30 cases treated with Jinlong capsule combined with the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE); the control group had 30 cases treated with TACE. Each group was treated 30 days as a cycle, which had completed at least two cycles. Indicators of cellular immune function about the activity of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 and natural killer(NK) cell were detected before and after treatment, then to compare and analysis with each other. Results: Before treatment, the activity of peripheral blood CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 and NK cell in the two groups was no significant difference(P > 0.05); after treatment, the activity of CD3, CD4 and NK cell in the treatment group was significantly increased, the ratio of CD4/CD8 increased, and the value of CD8 decreased(P < 0.05), the activity of CD3, CD4 and NK cell in the control group was significantly decreased, the ratio of CD4/CD8 decreased(P < 0.05), and the value of CD8 slightly higher than before treatment(P > 0.05), the difference between the two groups indicated the statistical significance(P < 0.05). Incidence of gastrointestinal reactions, leucopenia, hemoglobin, platelet decline in the treatment group was lower than those in the control group, but without presenting the statistical significance(P > 0.05). Conclusion: Jinlong capsule with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy can improve the patients' immune function, and reduce the adverse reactions of interventional chemotherapy. Hence,it deserves to be promoted in clinically.展开更多

Methods Eighty-two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into the control group and experimental group. On the first day after TACE, the experimental group started receiving four Jinlong capsules orally three times daily, whereas the control group did not receive the treatment.Results The incidences of erythropenia and thrombocytopenia in the experimental group was lower than those in the control group(P = 0.040 and 0.033, respectively). The differences in serum levels of aminotransferase, albumin, potassium, and sodium between the two groups were significant(P = 0.034, 0.034, 0.013, and 0.044, respectively). The mean durations of stomachache and abdominal distension in the experimental group was significantly shorter than those in the control group(P = 0.004 and 0.021, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of nausea, fever, and vomiting between the two groups(P = 0.490, 0.495, and 0.585, respectively). Conclusion The reduction in the incidence rate and duration of partial adverse reactions after TACE was observed in hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with Jinlong capsule compared to untreated patients, suggesting possible beneficial effects exerted by Jinlong capsule on the reduction of TACE-induced liver damage, thereby improving liver function and, consequently, the quality of life.展开更多
