Acute waist spraincan lead to cicatrix adhesion, loss of normal tis-sue function and chronic waist pathologicalchanges without timely and effecthe treatment.Long time treatment without cure will affectboth work and daily life.

Clinical and Experimental Study of Effect on Acute Phase Protein of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome Treated with Dachengqi Decoction

Objective: To investigate the level of acute phase proteins (APP)-synthesized in hepatocytes in pathogenic process of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and the effect of Dachengqi Decoction (DCQD) on it. Methods: The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), α1-antitrypsin total (α1AT), α2-macroglobulin (α2-MG), ceruloplasmine (CP), hepatoglobin (HP) and transferrin (TF) synthesis were determined in 32 cases of MODS patients and rat models of MODS induced by acute infective peritonitis and mesenterial artery ischemia-reperfusion.Results: The serum APP level in MODS patients was increased and higher than that in the control group (P < 0. 01 ). After 3 days of DCQD treatment it reduced significantly (P <0. 05). Serum APP level in MODS model was also increased significantly, and after 3 days of DCQD treatment, it reduced significantly (P < 0. 05). The APP secreting level of rat hepatocytes cultured in vitro raised after stimulated and activated by lipopolysacchride, which was reduced after cultured with rabbits serum containing different concentration of effective ingredients of DCQD. The APP inhibiting effect of DCQD was dose dependent. Conclusion: Purgation therapy with DCQD could reduce the stimulation of pathogenic factors on hepatocytes, protect tissues and organs from damage caused by excessive inflammatory reaction.Original article on CJIM(Chin) 1998; 18(8): 453
