In order to observe the effect of hepatocyte growth promoting factor (pHGF) on liver regeneration of rat with cirrhosis after hepatectomy, IBAS Ⅱ auto image analysis technology was used to measure the variety of DNA ploid rate of hepatocytes and OPTDM of enzymes by liver histochemistry after hepatectomy; serum levels of the glutamicpyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and indocyanine green retention rate in 15 minute (ICG15) were tested to measure the function of the remanent liver. The results revealed that tetraploid hepatocytes lowered greatly and diploid, quintploid and >quintploid hepatocytes increased apparently in group A. OPTDM of enzymes by liver histochemistry showed no significant difference at the first day after operation in each group (P>0.05); SDH and LDH of group A were significantly higher than those of group B and AkP, AcP were significantly lower at the second or fifth day after hepatectomy. Serum tests showed that SGPT, ICG15 of group A decreased apparently at the fifth day after operation. The results demonstrate that pHGF not only stimulates the regeneration of the remanent liver but also accelerates the functional mature of the regenerative hepatocytes and the functional recovery of the remanent liver after resection of cirrhotic liver of rats.
