OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Jinbei oral liquid against influenza A H 1N1 virus and secondary Streptococcus pneumoniae infection of rats ,and to provide reference for its clinical application . METHODS Oseltamivir phosphate capsule (25.6 mg/kg)was used as a positive control . Influenza A H 1N1 virus infection model of mice was established by nasal drops of H 1N1 virus containing 0.8 median lethal dose (LD50). The body mass ,lung index ,lung viral load ,pathological changes of lung tissue , and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL -6 were used as indexes to investigate the anti - H1N1 virus effect of 15.6,7.8 and 3.9 mL/kg Jinbei oral liquid in vivo . The model of secondary S. pneumoniae infection was established by nasal drops of H 1N1 virus solution containing 0.5 LD50 and S. pneumoniae solution containing 1×109 colony forming units. The death ,lung index ,nasal and lung bacterial load ,serum levels of interferon -β(IFN-β),IL-17 and IL -23 were used as indexes to investigate the effects of 15.6 mL/kg Jinbei oral liquid against secondary S. pneumoniae infection. RESULTS After 6 days of administration ,both 15.6 and 7.8 mL/kg Jinbei oral liquid significantly increased the abnormally reduced body weight of influenza A H 1N1 virus infected mice ,significantly reduced the abnormally increased lung index and serum levels of TNF -α,IL- 1β,IL-6(P<0.05);it also significantly reduced the viral load in the lung (P<0.05)and alleviated the degree of lung tissue lesions. At the same time ,15.6 mL/kg Jinbei oral liquid significantly prolonged the survival time of mice co -infected 2020CXGC010505, with virus and bacteria (P<0.05)and reduced the mortality rate;it also significantly increased the abnormally reduced body weight and serum levels of IL -17 and IL -23(P<0.05), while reduced the nasal and lung bacterial loads and the abnormally increased serum level of IFN -β (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Jinbei oral liquid has a certain anti -influenza A H 1N1 virus infection effect of rats and can help the body resist secondary S. pneumoniae infection by restoring the type 17 antibacterial immune function .
