title: [Research on liu wei Rehmannia oral liquid against side-effect of drugs of anti-tumor chemotherapy].
abstract: Using tumor-bearing mice as experimental animals, the survival rate, hematopoietic, heart, liver, kidney and immunological functions as indexes, Liu Wei Rehmannia Oral Liquid against the side-effect of drugs of anti-tumor chemotherapy (ADM, CTX, DDP, VCR and 5FU) were observed. The results showed that the survival rate in the treated group was significantly higher than that in control, the survival days were highly different (P < 0.01); the hemopoietic functions (HB, WBC, PL) in the treated group were higher also (P < 0.05 & P < 0.01); in the functions of heart, liver and kidney the treated group could protect the above-mentioned three organs (P < 0.01); in immune functions, the oral liquid could protect the NK and T-, B-Lymphocyte transformation, being inhibited by drugs of chemotherapy. In comparing with control group NK and T lymphocyte transformation were all significantly different (P < 0.01 & P < 0.05), while only 3 chemotherapy drugs were markedly different in B lymphocyte transformation (P < 0.05 & P < 0.01). The discussion indicated that Liu Wei Rehmannia Oral Liquid is effective in protecting the functions of hematopoiesis, immunity, heart, liver and kidney during chemotherapy, which provides an objective data for the clinical application.
