The ability of Si-Wu-Tang to eliminate bone marrow damage after radiation was assessed using both a clonogenic assay (survival of colony forming units spleen - CFUs) of stem cell survival and a hematopoietic functional assay including the changes of hemograms and hematocrit. Cell survival curves and dose-response curves for radiation alone and Si-Wu-Tang administration with radiation were constructed over the dose range of 1 to 9 Gy. Si-Wu-Tang was given 7 days before irradiation at a consecutive fractionated dose of 20 mg/20 g body weight. The radioresistance of stem cells treated by Si-Wu-Tang was higher than that of those treated by irradiation alone. However, the antiradiation effect of leukocytes was not as significant as that of erythrocytes, thrombocytes and hematocrit. These data suggest that the anti-radiation effect by Si-Wu-Tang is dependent on dose and will be less after 4 Gy irradiation. Hemograms with a short turnover period, such as leukocytes, may be less affected after Si-Wu-Tang administration.
