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展开更多
