Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of Wenyang Baidu Yin on the serum liver DeRitis ratio [aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio] and the level of renal neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in septic rats. Methods One hundred and twenty healthy male sprague-dawley (SD) rats were divided into normal control group, model group, western medicine treatment group, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment group and combined medicine group by random number table method, with 24 rats in each group. Rat sepsis model was established by intra-peritoneal injection of E.coli endotoxin; after modeling for 2 hours, normal control group and model group were given normal saline intragastric administration, western medicine treatment group was given dexamethasone 2.5 mg/kg intra-gastric administration, TCM treatment group was given Wenyang Baidu Yin intragastric administration (honeysuckle 30 g, dandelion 30 g, aconite 30 g, mixed with water and after two times of boiling, the obtained liquid was concentrated and made into dry ointment for reserve, when the ointment was used, it was dissolved in warm water to 8 g/kg, administered by gavage, twice a day), the combined medicine group was given both the above TCM decoction and dexamethasone dosages by gavage. After modeling for 24, 48 and 72 hours, the differences of DeRitis ratio and NGAL levels were compared among various groups. Results The DeRitis ratio and NGAL level in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group at 24, 48, 72 hours after modeling (DeRitis ratio: 4.14±0.53 vs. 2.08±0.37, 4.78±0.07 vs. 1.73±0.61, 4.83±0.31 vs. 1.05±0.20 respectively, NGAL was 2 412.73±368.03 vs. 837.52±142.98, 1 735.16±290.76 vs. 817.38±102.08, 1 838.43±295.44 vs. 847.82±140.14 respectively, all P < 0.05). The DeRitis ratios and NGAL levels of western medicine treatment group, TCM treatment group and combined medicine group were significantly lower than those of model group at each time point, and the decrease degree of combined medicine group was more significant, there were statistical differences 48 hours after modeling between combined medicine group and Western medicine treatment group and between combined group and TCM treatment group [DeRitis ratio: 3.09±0.15 vs. 3.68±0.44, 3.27±0.62, NGAL (ng/L):1 105.32±270.27 vs. 1 206.35±143.82, 1 526.53±289.02], and reached the lowest level until 72 hours [DeRitis ratio: 2.27±0.26 vs. 2.93±0.38, 2.61±0.54, NGAL (ng/L): 903.47±105.37 vs. 9 316.05±116.23, 1 025.14±152.68, all P < 0.05], showing the usage of combined therapeutic method in the aspect of improving DeRitis ratio and NGAL of septic rats was prominently superior than using either western medicine or TCM decoction alone. Conclusion Wenyang Baidu Yin can effectively reduce the liver DeRitis ratio and the kidney NGAL level in endotoxin-induced septic rats.
