Objective To observe the effects of oral Xiaoyan Lidan tablets(XYLDT) on the bile composition(total bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids) in patients with intrahepatic duct stones after common bile duct exploration(CBDE) with T tube drainage, to explore its possible preventive effects on stone recurrence. Methods Forty consecutive patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones who underwent CBDE with T tube drainage were randomly divided into experi mental group and control group. XYLDT were administrated at day 4 after surgery in experimental group(n=20), while none of medication were given in control group(n=20). 2 mL of bile was collected through T tube in both groups at day 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 21 postoperatively. Total bile acids(TBA), cholesterol(CHO), and phospholipids(PLIP) in bile were measured, and TBA/CHO ratio and PLIP/CHO ratio were calculated respectively. The results were statistical analyzed. Results The demographic data in both groups including age, gender, height, weight, preoperative concomitant diseases, operative time, postoperative complications, hospital stays, serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), and amylase were not significantly different(P > 0.05). The measurements of TBA, CHO, PLIP, and the ratio of TBA/CHO and PLIP/CHO in bile were not significant on day 1, 2, and 3 after surgery in both groups(P > 0.05). In experimental group, the TBA, CHO, and PLIP on day 7, 14, and 21 after surgery were significantly increased compared with the control group(P < 0.05). The ratio of TBA/CHO on day 7, 14, and 21 was 2.17±0.29, 2.29±0.44, and 2.59±0.58, the ratio of PLIP/CHO was 2.03±0.68, 2.84±0.64, and 2.86±0.77, respectively, which were also significantly increased compared with the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusions Oral XYLDT can increase the secretion of TBA, CHO, and PLIP, elevate the TBA/CHO and PLIP/CHO ratio, and change the bile composition which may increase the dissolution of cholesterol in the bile. Presumably, oral XYLDT may have preventive effects in the recurrence of intrahepatic bile duct stones.
