Figure 1
Kaplan-Meier survival curves of all groups. Sham-control group received sham operation and distilled water; the remaining groups received cecum ligation and puncture (CLP). All CLP rats received Bai-Hu-Tang (BHT), except for those in the sepsis-control group, which received distilled water. CLP + BHT-L6: low dose of BHT (0.45 g/kg) administered 6 hrs postoperatively. CLP + BHT-H6: high dose of BHT (0.9 g/kg) administered 6 hrs postoperatively. CLP + BHT-L12: low dose BHT (0.45 g/kg) administered 12 hrs postoperatively. CLP + BHT-H12: high-dose of BHT (0.9 g/kg) administered 12 hrs postoperatively. All rats were monitored for three days postoperatively for survival study. Notice that the survival was highest in the CLP + BHT-H6 group. b, compared to sepsis-control group.
