[The effect of radix pseudostellariae from 8 habitats on spleen-deficiency and immunologic function]

75% ethanol extracts of Radix Pseudostellariae could improve spleen-deficiency and immunologic function from Yixing(Jiangsu), Tuorong (Fujian), Guangde(Anhui), Zhonggou(Shandong), Linmu(Shandong), Shanghai, Langxi(Anhui) and Xuanzhou (Anhui). They could decrease spleen-deficienly ratio, increase body weight, anus temperature, thymus and spleen indexes, and prolong swimming time in 15 degrees C water and survival time under anoxic circumstances on resperpine-induced mice. They could also inhibit delayed hypersensitivity induced by prednisolone on mice. Radix Pseudostellariae from Xuanzhou was most effective on spleen-deficiency mice.
