ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the auxiliary effects of huaier granule on hepatoeellular carcinoma (HCC)patients after liver transplantation.Methods Sixty HCC patients who had undergone liver transplantation from Julv 2004 to June 2006 and met the standard of UCSF were involved in this study.All patients were divided into huaier granule group(n=20),chemotherapy group(n=15),huaier granule+chemotherapy group (n=15)and control group(n=10).The white blood cell count,liver function,cell immunity and immunologieal reiection were detected.The 1-year tumor recurrence rate wag calculated.Results The white blood cell counts in chemotherapy group 1,3,and 6 months after treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment (F=62.053,58.472,49.807,P<0.05).The changes of white blood cell counts of the other 3 groups before and aftertreatment were small.The difference on the white blood cell counts of the 4 groups had no statistical 8ignincanee(F=102.361,113.412,87.572,P<0.05).The NK activity,CD4+/CD8+ ratio,IL-2 level in huaier granule group and huaier granule+chemotherapy group 1,3,6 months after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment,and were significantly higher than those in chemotherapy group and control group(P<0.05).No immunological rejection occurred in all the groups.Two patients in each group had recurrence and metastasis of HCC within 1 year after the treatment.and the incidence in control group was higher than the other 3 groups(P<0.05). Conclusions Humer granule can increase the white blood cell count which is decreased after chemotherapy,impmve cellular immunity,and effectively suppress the recurrence and metastasis of HCC at the first year after operation.
