To evaluate the effect of Xue Bijing injection in related proinflammatory factors and blood coagulation factors of vascular endothelial cell in severe septic patients.
Fifty-two patients were randomly divided into Xue Bijing injection treatment group (Group B) and control group (Group A). Both groups were treated with routine integration treatment, and additionally, patients in Group B received Xue Bijing injection 100 ml intravenous once a day for 7 days while those in Group A received an equal quantity of normal saline as placebo. The changes of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, NO, AT-III, TM, TPA, VWF and PAI-1 in blood serum were tested at Day 0, 3, 7. And the mortality was calculated at Day 28.
The 28-day mortality rate was 32.1% (9/28) in Group B while that of Group A was 62.5% (15/24). There was a significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). The concentrations of blood serum VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were significantly lower in Group B than Group A. And the concentrations of blood serum NO, AT-III, TM, TPA, VWF and PAI-1 were significantly higher in Group B than Group A.
Xue Bijing injection improves a patient's condition and reduces 28-day mortality of severe septic patients. The reason may be that it can stabilize vascular endothelial cell to improve serious inflammatory reaction and blood coagulation dysfunction.
