Objective To study the effect of Matrine injection on liver function of patients with primary liver cancer due to HB virus infection after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods Seventy-six patients with primary liver cancer due to HB virus infection admitted to our hospital from August 2007 to December 2009 were randomly divided into treatment group (TACE+Matrine injection
n=38) and control group (TACE+glutathione
n=38). Liver function was detected on day 3
and weeks 4 and 12 after TACE. HBV-DNA load was assayed in 4 and 12 weeks before TACE
respectively. Results The HBV-DNA load was 5.82±1.25 in treatment group and 7.29±1.53 in control group 12 weeks after TACE(P0.05). The ALT/AST was significantly different between the control group and treatment group on day 3
and weeks 4 and 12 after TACE (P0.05). The incidence of hepatitis was significantly different between the two groups (P0.05). Conclusion Primary liver cancer after TACE can reactivate hepatitis B virus. Matrine injection can improve liver function
protect liver against damage induced by reactivation of hepatitis B virus and has a certain antiviral effect.
