To elucidate the mechanism of Modified Xian Xiong Tao Cheng Tang plus Shen Mai Zhen
a prescription of our own. in treating acute respiratory failure. We established an animal model by inducing abdominal infection after ligation of the caecum. In comparison with the model group
the contents of tumor necrotizing factor (TNF@)
thromboxan (TXB2)
and prostaglandin (6 -keto -PGF1@) in plasma were significantly decreased in the treatment group (P<0. 05 orP <0. 01). The morphologic changes were also much less prominent. The result showed that this prescription is effective in treating acute respiratory failure in the model animals; its mechanism is probably contributed by inhibition of the inflammatory cells and their mediators.
