[Syndrome identification of CCl4 induced liver fibrosis model rats based on syndrome detecting from recipe used].

Objective: To further demonstrate the cognition upon the prominent effect of Yiguanjian and Xiayuxue Decoction on the CCI4 induced rat model of chronic liver fibrosis which have been verified in the previous studies. From the viewpoint of detecting TCM syndrome by recipe used, through this cognition the pathological features of the liver injury model manifesting a syndrome of "Gan-yin deficiency with blood stasis obstructing collaterals" were further explored.

Methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, and the three medicated groups.
