Abstract

Hepatitis B was the most widespread viral disease and had a very high infection in China during the last 40 years of the 20th to 21st century. The traditional Chinese medicine Bushen formula can treat hepatitis B by lower the mildly elevated alanine aminotransferase and HBV DNA levels for patients. Previous research has shown that the organic compound Astragalus polysaccharide can increase the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte subsets and reduce hepatic damage caused by chronic hepatitis B. This study investigates APS in treating mice’s hepatic injury by building a CCl4- induced liver failure model and CD4+ CD8+ lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood analysis models.
