Anti-infection action of Bazheng mixture(BM) and effects of BM on immune function in mice / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the pharmacological action of Bazheng mixture(BM) on infections disease of urinary system and effects of BM on immune function in mice.Methods After E.coli was injected into bladder of mice, the kidneys were examined for the anti-infection action of BM on ascending infection;and the effects of BM on immune function of mice were tested.Results BM ig remarkably decreased the percentage of kedney's infections area caused by ascending infection of E.coli [ED_(50) was(11.01?1.63)g/kg and the 95% CL was (9.50-12.76)(g/kg]);BM was also found effective in increasing the rate of carbon particle clearance and the index of carbon particle clearance,but BM had no significant effects on body fluid immunity and cell immunity in test for mice.Conclusion The mechanism of BM in treating infections disease of urinary system are mainly associated with the increasing rate of carbon particle clearance,and with bacteria clearance in urinary system.
