Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effect of siduqing decoction, a Chinese medicine, on survival rate and multiple organ dysfunction in mice challenged with LPS. METHODS: Mice were administered intragastrically with Siduqing decoction or distilled water (0.2 ml/10 g) twice a day for 3 days, two hours after Chinese herbal medicine treatment on day 3, LPS or normal saline was injected intraperitoneally, and survival rates in each group were recorded at 12-h intervals. In another experiment, mice were sacrificed at 12 h after LPS, lung, liver, kidney and small intestine were collected and processed for the H & E staining. In addition, Blood was collected at 10 h after LPS injection for determining alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) contents. RESULTS: At 96 h after LPS injection, the survival rate (27%, n=34) was lower in LPS group than Siduqing treatment group (65%, n=31, P<0.05). ALT activity, BUN and Cr contents in serum were higher in LPS group than control group, Siduqing treatment significantly attenuated a increase in ALT activity, BUN and Cr content in serum induced by LPS. Histological examination showed inflammatory injury in the lung and intestine, hemorrhage in the lung and kidney, degeneration, necrosis in the liver and kidney, while Siduqing treatment attenuated pathological changes induced by LPS. CONCLUSION: These data indicate that Siduqing has a protective effect against LPS-induced multiple organ injury and increases survival rate in mice challenged with LPS. |
