ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfuhuang injection (SFH Injection) on function of organs and mortality of septic rats, using a sepsis mode by cecal ligation puncture(CLP). Methods 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, sham operation group, CLP group (being further divided into 2, 8, 24, 48 h subgroups), SFH injection treatment group (being further divided into 2, 8, 24, 48 h subgroups, drug were inraveous injected just after operation and per 12 h). The mortality of animals and altering organ’s function were observed within 7 days. Results Compared to CLP model, mortality of Septic rats in SFH injection group was significant lower, and the treatment prolonged survival duration. SFH Injection group owned lower numerical values of ALT, AST, BUN and Cr in serum. Conclusion SFH Injection can obviously decline the mortality of septic rats and play an important role in protecting organ function.
