The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) in combination with ibuprofen (IBU) in the treatment of sepsis and the underlying mechanism. The combined drug treatment was evaluated in a rat model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6 and acetylcholine (ACh) were determined. Nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChR) alpha 7 receptor expression and histopathological changes in the lung tissue were also observed. When compared with untreated rats and rats treated with either component alone, the combined treatment significantly decreased the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 (P
