Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The result of liver function and liver histological improvement.

    every 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The disappearance or reduction of abdominal dropsy

    every 4 weeks

  • The clinical symptom improve(including food appetite,debilitation,abdominal distension,edema of lower limbs )

    every 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were infused to patients using interventional method via hepatic artery. After the catheter placed at proper hepatic artery was confirmed by angiography,umbilical cord MSCs were infused slowly for 15-20minutes.

Biological: umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Conserved therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients received comprehensive treatment including antiviral drugs, lowering aminotransferase and jaundice medicine.

Drug: Conserved therapy

Interventions

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were infused to patients using interventional method via hepatic artery. After the catheter placed at proper hepatic artery was confirmed by angiography,umbilical cord MSCs were infused slowly for 15-20minutes.
