Abstract: Objective To investigate the prevention and cure efficacy of XUEBIJING on multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in sheep. Methods Fourty sheep were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control (Group A), model (Group B), precaution (Group C) and cure group (Group D), 10 sheep each group . After anesthesia, the MODS model was established by infusing LPS at 6 μg/kg within 30 minutes intravenously. Then the sheep were infused with XUEBIJING (2 ml/kg) by intravenous drip before and 1 hour after injecting LPS in Group C and Group D respectively; animals in Group D received XUNBEJING (2 ml/kg) by intravenous drip once daily for 3 days. Meanwhile, the sheep were infused with isotonic Na chloride at the same dose in Group A. The indexes of blood gas, blood routine and blood biochemistry were determined at the different time points. Results After intravenous injecting with LPS, the physical sign was alleviative to some extent in Group C and Group D than that in Group B. The death rates of sheep were 0%, 60%, 40% and 50% in Group A , Group B, Group C and Group D respectively. Compared to the values of oxygenation indexes prior to injection with LPS, it decreased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01) within 3 hours in Group B, Group C and Group D, but there were not significant statistical differences observed between three groups (P>0.05). At the different time points, the level of aspartic transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL) and creatinine (CRE) were obviously increased compared to that prior to injection (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . But the number of white blood cell (WBC) was obviously decreased at 3 h~6 h, then it began to increase at 12 h and increased significantly at 24 h (P< 0.01). Conclusion XUEBIJING could improve physical sign appearance, degrade the death rate of MODS induced by LPS and it had interventional effect on damage in multiple organ .
