Abstract:Objective:To explore the protective mechanism of Yinchenhao decoction in liver injury which caused by abnormal expression of iNOS in obstructive jaundice rats.And to provide the theory basis for reasonable use traditional Chinese medicine during perioperative period. Method: Select 48 adult SD rats, randomly divided into two groups① 24 rats in obstructive jaundice reperfusion model group (group OJR), ② 24 rats in obstructive jaundice reperfusion model plus traditional Chinese medicine group (OJRC group). Relieve obstruction of the two groups in day 7 after the biliary tract obstructed and put rats to death in day 1, 3, 7 after the obstruction removed.Detect serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum total bilirubin (TBIL), observe the expression of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein in the liver tissue. Result: Yinchenhao decoction can significantly reduce the content of serum TBIL, ALT (P<0.05), and inhibit iNOS expression of mRNA and iNOS protein in rats liver tissue (P<0.05). Conclusion: Yinchenhao decoction can inhibit the expression of hepatic iNOS, so as to promote the recovery of liver function in rats with obstructive jaundice.
