title: [Effects of injectio reduqing on plasma IL-8 and nitric oxide levels in rabbits with endotoxin induced disseminated intravascular coagulation].
abstract: Experiments were performed for investigating the effects of Injectio Reduqing (RDQ) on plasma interleukin-8 (IL-8), NO2-/NO3-, complement 5a(C5a) and polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocyte (PMN) Chemotaxis Index (CI) in rabbits with endotoxin-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The results showed that plasma IL-8, NO2-/NO3-, C5a and CI levels of PMN increased markedly in model group, which were confirmed pathologically with obvious damage of tissues or organs. While in RDQ group the abov-mentioned parameters and damage of tissues or organs were reduced significantly (P < 0.01). The results suggested that the IL-8 and NO might be involved in pathogenesis of endotoxin-induced DIC, and RDQ could be used in preventing or treating DIC through mechanism of regulation of cytokines network.
