ABSTRACT
[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) on the treatment of infantile hepatitis syndrome ( HIS) and to investigate its mechanism.METHODS:The children with infantile hepatitis syndrome were divid-ed into conventional treatment group and the UDCA treatment group.Twenty healthy children were selected as normal con-trol.The children in conventional therapy group were given antiviral and hepatoprotective treatments.The children in UD-CA treatment group were given ursodeoxycholic acid (10 mg? kg-1? d-1 ) in addition to the conventional treatment group for 2 to 3 weeks.The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glu-tamyltransferase ( GGT) , total bile acids ( TBA) and TNF-α, IL-6 were detected before admission and 2 weeks later.RE-SULTS:The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 were significantly higher in the children with IHS than those in the normal control (P<0.01).The levels of TBIL, DBIL, ALT, GGT, TBA, TNF-αand IL-6 in conventional treatment group were reduced after therapy (P<0.01).All the above index in UDCA treatment group were decreased compared with conventional treat-ment group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION:On the basis of conventional therapy, ursodeoxycholic acid effectively alleviates the systemic inflammatory response in the children with IHS, reduces the liver damages.
