EFFECTS OF "SHENG XUE WAN" ON HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS IN RATS / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

The observation was carried out on the effects of "Sheng Xue Wan" (pills for promoting the production of blood ) upon the rat colony forming unit--spleen, (CFU-S), colony forming unit--diffusion chamber (CFU-D) and colony forming unit--that responds to erythropoietin(CFB-E)with the extrinsic culture of splenetic colony, the intrinsic culture in medium of a diffusion chamber and the intrinsic plasma clotting. The results of our experiments indicated that "Sheng Xue Wan" has a stimulating action on the multiplication of the rat CFU-S, CFU-D and CFU-E. Thus, we infer that the mechanism of the drug used to treat aplastic anemia might be related to the effect of "Sheng Xue Wan" upon the hematopoietic stem cell.
