title: [The clinical study on decompensatory cirrhotic patients treated by Bie Jia Jian].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical curative effect on decompensatory cirrhotic patients treated by Bie Jia Jian.
  
  
  METHODS
  98 decompensatory cirrhotic patients were randomly divided into two groups: 49 patients in treatment group and 49 in control group. Both groups were treated with the same western medicine of protecting and supporting liver. Except that, treatment group were treated by Bie Jia Jian.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The Contents of AST, ALT, total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB), hyaluronic acid (HA), Laminin (LN) , procollagen III (pc III), and type IV collagen (IV.C) in both groups decreased after treatment, and prothrombin time activity (PTA) increased. Among them, the decrease of TB, DB, HA, LN, PC-III and IV-C, and the increase of PTA in treatment group were more obvious than those in control group (P < 0. 05).
