3.3 Effects of Pei's Soft Liver and Anti-Flatulence Pill on Immune Organs—Thymus and Spleen—in Tumor-Bearing Mice

In the model control group, the thymus and spleen of mice showed reduced volume and weight; some thymuses had unclear lobes and appeared grayish-white, while the spleens turned pale red. In the PRGXP low-, medium-, and high-dose groups as well as the cantharidin group, the thymic index (TI) was higher than that of the model control group. Specifically, in the PRGXP medium-dose group, the TI was (53.2±15.6) mg/10 g, a 31.4% increase compared with the model control group, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the TI of the model control group was significantly lower (P<0.05).

In the PRGXP low-, medium-, and high-dose groups and the cantharidin group, the splenic index (SI) was also higher than that of the model control group, with all differences being statistically significant (P<0.05); compared with the normal group, the SI of the model control group was markedly lower (P<0.05). See Table 2, Figures 3 and 4.
