Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the modified Xiaoqinglong decoction and its ingredient-reduced prescription on plasma levels of IL-5 and TNF-ct in rats,and to explore its mechanism of treating AR.To make clear the law of combination in modified Xiaoqinglong decoction.MethodsThe modified Xiaoqinglong decoction was divided into six groups,namely,reinforcing qi group,warming yang group,expelling retained morbid fluid group,reinforcing qi and warming yang group,reinforcing qi and expelling retained morbid fluid group,warming yang to expel retained morbid fluid group.90 rats were randomly divided into nine groups,namely,normal control group,model group,reinforcing qi group,warming yang group,expelling retained morbid fluid group,reinforcing qi and warming yang group,reinforcing qi and expelling retained morbid fluid group,warming yang to expel retained morbid fluid group,and the whole decoction group,with 10 rats in each group.Rat model of allergic rhinitis was made by the use of adjuvant systemic antigen sensitization and local attack,the normal control group and model group were fed with normal saline,the other groups were treated with appropriate drugs,once a day oral administration,continuous for 4 weeks.Detected plasma IL-5 and TNF-α levels of each group in rats.ResultsThe contents of plasma IL-5 (16.0±2.7)mg/L and TNF-α (57.5±8.0)mg/L in the model group was significantly increased,while it was significantly reduced in the reinforcing qi group,warming yang group,expelling retained morbid fluid group,refinorcing qi and warming yang group,reinforcing qi and expelling retained morbid fluid group,warming yang to expel retained morbid fluid group with plasma IL-5[each group was (12.9± 3.1) mg/L、(11.8 ±2.8) mg/L、(12.0±2.3) mg/L、(12.3±2.3) mg/L、(11.1±2.1)mg/L、(11.2±2.5)mg/L、(8.42.3)mg/L respectively]and TNF-α[each group was (27.7±5.7)mg/L、(29.5 ± 3.7) mg/L、(31.2 ± 4.9) mg/L、(28.1 ± 2.8) mg/L、(33.4 ± 5.6) mg/L、(26.3 ± 3.9) mg/L、(21.6 ±4.9) mg/L respectively],the whole decoction group effect was significant compared with the other treated groups (P＜0.05).ConclusionThe modified Xiaoqinglong decoction and its ingredient-reduced prescription can regulate plasma levels of IL-5 and TNF-α.The modified Xiaoqinglong decoction had best results in reinforcing qi,warming yang and expelling retained morbid fluid.
