    Abstract:
    TCM differentiation of syndrome in 131 cases of chronic hepatitis B has been studied with molecular-biological and immuno-histological techniques. The results showed that 94.6% cases of Gan-Yu Pi-Xu (stagnancy in the liver leading to diminished function of the spleen) type belonged to chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH), whose coincidence rate of pathology of the liver biopsies with CPH was 69.2%; the positive rate of HBeAg and/or HBV DNA in sera was 61.5%, and the positive rates of HBsAg and HBV DNA in liver tissues were 69.2% (of which 44.4% appeared diffuse pattern morphologically) and 33.3% respectively. 75.5% cases of Gan-Shen Yin-Xu (deficiency of Yin of the liver and kidney) type belonged to chronic active hepatitis (CAH) and 88.5% of the cases were pathologically described as CAH, the positive rates of HBeAg and/or HBV DNA in serum and HBsAg in liver tissues were all 80.8%, among which the diffuse pattern of HBsAg accounted for 85.7%, which was higher than that in Gan-Yu Pi-Xu type (P less than 0.05), the positive rates of HBcAg and HBV DNA in liver tissues were 34.6% (of which 55.6% appeared cytoplasmic pattern) and 63.2% respectively, which was higher than that in Gan-Yu Pi-Xu type (P less than 0.05). 75.0% cases of Qi-Zhi Xue-Yu (stagnation of vital energy and stasis of blood) type belonged to CAH with early state cirrhosis, its pathological changes in liver tissues were obvious, replication levels of HBV corresponded to the cases of Gan-Yu.Pi-Xu type.
