Abstract:
Objective To discuss intervention effects of Buyang Huanwu decoction on pulmonary fibrosis (PF) rats. Methods Totally 144 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham-operation group, model group, prednisone group, Buyang Huanwu decoction high-, medium-, low-dose groups, 24 rats in each group. Except for sham-operation group, the rest groups were given injection of BLM via tracheal intubation for the establishment of PF model, while sham-operation group was instilled the same amount of NS. From the second day, all the rats received a gavage by related medicine. Eight rats in each group were killed respectively on day 7, 14 and 28 after intratracheal instillation. The contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of experimental rats were tested by radioimmanoassay method. Results Compared with the sham-operation group, the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of other groups increased gradually, and that of the model group was the most obvious (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each medicine group had different decreases in the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum (P<0.01). Compared with the prednisone group, the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of Buyang Huanwu decoction medium-dose group obviously decreased on the 14th and 28th day (P<0.05), as well as that of Buyang Huanwu decoction low-dose group on the 28th day (P<0.05). Conclusion Buyang Huanwu decoction could effectively reduce proliferation of collagen fibers and excess deposition of ECM in lung tissue of PF, and played an anti-fibrosis effect on lungs.
