Objective:
To study the inhibitory effect of traditional Chinese medicine Compound Liuyuxeue(CLYX) on duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) DNA, and provide experimental basis for developing a new drug for the clinical treatment.
Methods:
One - day old Guangxi brown spotted ducks infected with DHBV were used as the hepatitis B virus infected animal model. Positive ducks were detected by PCR at 13 days after the infection of DHBV, and were randomly divided into five groups: the high dose group, middle dose group and low dose group of Compound Liuyexue( CLYX) , model group, positive control group. Every group had 10 ducks and CLYX was given for 14 days. The content of DHBV DNA in serum were measured by Fluoresceence Quantitative PCR( FQ-PCR).
Results:
The serum DHBV DNA content was decreased significantly by the treatment with CLYX. The high dose group and middle dose group of CLYX could significantly inhibit DHBV DNA replication in vivo( P <0. 01). DHBV DNA content in serum in high dose group and middle dose group did not return significantly 3 days after stopping treatment, and its inhibitory effects were dose-and tim-dependents.
Conclusion:
CLYX can inhibit significantly DHBV DNA.
