Objective
To study the effect of the Xuebijing oral solution on survival of rabbits with acute paraquat poisoning.
Methods
30 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into saline control group(group A) and two treatment groups of 3ml/kg(group B) and 10ml/kg(group C) of Xuebijing oral solution.All the rabbits were treated with PQ at 35mg/kg through intraperitoneal injection, which would build the model of acute poisoning. Group B and C were treated by gavage with 3ml/kg and 10ml/kg of Xuebijing oral solution respectively, once a day to maintain. Group A were treated with saline instead.
Results
The analysis of survival curve showed that the survival rate was not significantly different between group A and B, but group C was significantly higher than group A and B(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Large doses of Xuebijing oral solution may improve the survival rate of acute paraquat poisoning.
