title: [Assisting protective effect of Yiyuan oral solution on mice from irradiation injury].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the protective effect of Yiyuan oral solution against radiation injury in mice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Yiyuan oral solution was administered in mice at 10.00, 3.33 and 1.67 ml/kg for 30 days. The mice were then exposed to (60)Co-gamma irradiation at 3 Gy once and the effect of the irradiation on the WBC, bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes (PEC) micronuclei and serum hemolysin antibody against sheep red cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Yiyuan oral solution at 10 ml/kg significantly increased WBC counts, decreased bone marrow PEC micronucleus rate and enhanced serum hemolysin antibody in mice, suggesting the protective effect of this preparation against radiation injury.
