Abstract:【Objective】 To study the effect of Fuzheng Huayu Capsule and bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria combined with tenofovir on liver fibrosis and platelets in elderly patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis (HBC). 【Methods】 A total of 93 elderly HBC patients admitted to our hospital from April 2019 to April 2021 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into the Fuzheng Huayu group (31 cases), the viable bacteria group (31 cases) and The combined group (31 cases) by random number table method. The three groups were all given tenofovir. In addition, the Fuzheng Huayu group was given Fuzheng Huayu Capsules, the viable bacteria group was given bifidotriple viable bacteria, and the combination group was given Fuzheng Huayu Capsule + Bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria. The HBV DNA quantification (HBV-DNA), HBV-DNA negative convert rate, liver function indexes [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)], liver fibrosis indicators [type Ⅲ procollagen (PC-Ⅲ), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), type Ⅳ collagen (Ⅳ-C)] and serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8)] were compared among the three groups. 【Results】 After treatment, the levels of HBV-DNA in the three groups were lower than those before treatment. The HBV-DNA level in the combination group was lower than that in the bifidotriple viable bacteria group and the Fuzheng Huayu group. While the Fuzheng Huayu group was lower than the live bacteria group. The difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).The negative rate of HBV-DNA in the combined group (93.55%) was higher than that in the viable bacteria group (70.97%) and the Fuzheng Huayu group (64.52%) (P<0.05). After treatment, the three groups of HBV-DNA, TBIL, AST, ALT , Ⅳ-C, PC-Ⅲ, LN, HA, IL-8, TNF-α, hs-CRP, IL-6 levels were lower than those before treatment; And the combined group was lower than the viable bacteria group and the Fuzheng Huayu group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Fuzheng Huayu Capsules and bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria combined with tenofovir have significant effects in the treatment of elderly HBC, which can improve liver function, inhibit liver fibrosis, improve blood coagulation function, and inhibit inflammatory symptoms of the body.
