Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness and safety of medical ozone therapy system in treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
Detailed description
Total of 189 patients with compensated chronic hepatitis B will be divided equally and randomly into three arms. Patients in arm I and II treated with medical ozone therapy with different medical ozone generators, one was made in Tianyi medical instruments limited company and the other in Germany. Sixty-three patients of arm III treated with Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules, common used liver protective herb drug. The term of therapy is 12 weeks. Virology response, biochemistry response and hepatitis B viral serological response will be studied at the end of 12 weeks treatment.
Interventions
Medical ozone therapy with instrument made in China Patients in this arm will receive autohemotherapy. First month: ozone concentration: 20µg \ 40µg /ml;The second month: 30µg/ml × 100ml oxygen- ozone gas × 100 ml blood;The third month: 20µg/ml × 100ml oxygen- ozone gas× 100 ml blood.
Medical ozone therapy with instrument made in Germany Patients in this group will receive autohemotherapy treatment, regime as ArmⅠ.
Drug: Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules Patients in this group will receive oral Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules 150mg, three times a day for 12 weeks.
