Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of baicalin on tumour necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) and soluble inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1) of immunosuppressed rats infected with Pneumocystis carinii.Methods Forty-nine SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups:normal control(A), immunosuppressed control(B), SMZ/TMP control(C), baicalin prevention(D), low dose(E), moderate dose(F) and high dose(G).Rats of group D received six injections at three-day intervals with 3.5 mg dexamethasone sodium phosphate for 3 weeks, while groups B, C, E, F and G received same immunosuppressor but for 6 weeks.Rats in group D were given 100 mg/kg baicalin daily for 5 weeks, and groups C, E, F and G were given 250 mg/kg SMZ+50 mg/kg TMP, low dose 100 mg/(kg?d), moderate dose 200 mg/(kg?d), and high dose 400 mg/(kg?d) baicalin daily for 2 weeks, respectively.At the end of 8th week after immunosppression, the contents of TNF-? and sICAM-1 in peripheral blood were detected by radioimmunoassay(RIA) and ELISA, respectively.The pathological change of lung was observed by lung imprint smear with gormori methenamine silver(GMS) staining and lung section with hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining.Results The content of TNF-? in group D(2.14?0.14) ng/ml, group E(2.57?0.15) ng/ml, group F(1.46?0.14) ng/ml, group G(1.12?0.13) ng/ml andgroup C(1.59?0.14) ng/ml were higher than that of group A(0.70?0.21)ng/ml(P
