The results of a meta-analysis of 16 papers, including 1335 cases of sepsis in a Chinese population, showed that, compared with ulinastatin alone, the combination of Xuebijing with ulinastatin led to a shorter mechanical ventilation time, shorter ICU stay, improved 28-day survival rate, reduced incidence of MODS and mortality, decreased procalcitonin concentration, ameliorated acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score, and reduced levels of TNF-α and IL-6 (94). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and Sepsis.
