Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of Erzhi Hegan decoction combined with entecavir on the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 on the surface of CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B of "liver depression and kidney deficiency" type. Methods: :A total of 59 patients with chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into traditional Chinese medicine group (29 cases) and control group (30 cases). The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) group was treated with Erzhi Hegan Decoction plus ETV,while the control group was treated with ETV only. Before treatment,24 weeks after treatment and 48 weeks after treatment,the expression level of ALT,Immunological markers of hepatitis B virus ,HBV DNA and PD-1/PD-L1 on CD4+ T cells were detected. Results: Compared with their baseline values,PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels on the surface of CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients in both groups were significantly down-regulated compared with the baseline at 24 and 48 weeks of treatment (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the expression level of PD-1/PD-L1 on the surface of CD4+ T cells between the two groups before and 24 weeks after treatment (P>0.05); after 48 weeks of treatment,the expression level of PD-1/PD-L1 on the surface of CD4+ T cells in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After 24 and 48 weeks of treatment,the negative rate of HBV DNA in TCM group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). ALT normalization rate was higher in both groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Erzhi Hegan decoction can break the immune tolerance of the body by affecting the expression level of PD-1/PD-L1 on the surface of CD4+ T cells,so as to improve the immune mechanism of the body and enhance the antiviral ability.
