Abstract
This article reports the effects of pure Radix Astragali preparation (PAP) in treating 115 cases of leucopenia. These cases were divided at random into two groups. Group A (58 cases) was treated by highly concentrated PAP, every 10 ml equal to 15 grams of Radix Astragali (RA), group B (57 cases) was treated by lowly concentrated PAP, every 10 ml equal to 5 g of RA. The patients took the PAP twice a day, 10 ml each time. The course of treatment was 8 weeks for both groups. The results showed there was an obvious increase of the WBC counts in both groups after treatment (P<0.001). The effectiveness in group A was 82.76%, while in group B 47.37%, they were statistically different (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the 2 groups was 65.22%. According to the comparison average WBC counts after treatment of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (P<0.05). The results were dose-dependent. The author holds that RA is an effective drug in treating leucopenia, and increasing the dosage could enhance its effectiveness.
