| Research Abstract |
There is no silver bullet of the treatment for liver cirrhosis currently and essentially. It is important to prevent the complications and help the function of the cirrhotic liver. Development of new treatments highly effective and minimally invasive is strongly desired. Angiogenic activity and inhibition of myocardial remodeling have been reported by irradiation of the low power extracorporeal shock wave to the ischemic tissue. We elucidate the effect of the low power extracorporeal shock wave for the liver cirrhosis. In this study, we evaluate the liver function, cell regeneration, degree of fibrosis, angiogenic activity and adverse events in the animal model using rat. Although the irradiation of the low power extracorporeal shock wave were performed safely, it is necessary to consider the optimum condition and the biological mechanism further more.
