Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of combined recombinant human IL-11(rhIL-11) and recombinant human G-CSF (rhG-CSF) on the neutron-irradiated dogs. Methods 18 male beagle dogs were divided into radiation control group (C, n=7), symptomatic treatment group (S, n=4), and combination therapy group (T, n=7). All dogs were exposed to total body 2Gy 90% neutron radiation. From the first day after radiation, the animals of group T received rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?d) and rhIL-11 50?g/(kg?d) subeutaneously for 14d and 21d respectively. The cell counts of peripheral blood and CFU-GM of bone marrow were carried out. Results All animals of group S and T survived, however, the survival rate of group C was only 57%. The cellcounts of T group peripheral blood cells (white blood cell at any time point , the platelet and red blood cell of recovery phase) were higher than that of C or S group. The count of T group bone marrow CFU-GM was 6 fold higher than that of group C or S on day 1, and still 1.75, 1.46 fold higher than that group C or S, respectively, on day 33. Conclusion the combination therapy of rhIL-11 and rhG-CSF significantly raised the white cell and platelet counts in ARS dogs induced by neutron irradiation by accelerating the recovery of bone marrow hematopoietic function.
