Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect ofYinqiao Powder on the mouse models with upper respiratory trace mucosal immunity dysfunction infected with influenza virus A, and explore mechanism of action.Methods The mouse models of upper respiratory trace mucosal immunity dysfunction induced by cold stimulation with the influenza A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) virus through the nasal cavity were established. The mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive medicine (Ribavirin) group, andYinqiao Powder group. All administration groups received gavage with relevant medicine, and then mortality, the life prolonging rate, average survival time and the lung index of each group were observed.Results Compared with the model group, the mortalities in positive medicine group andYinqiao Powder group decreased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01), with longer survival time. The lung indexes in positive medicine group andYinqiao Powder group decreased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the inhibition ratios of lung index were 35.5% and 24.6%, respectively.ConclusionYinqiao Powder can realize the protective effects on upper respiratory infection through upregulating the mucosal immunity of the upper respiratory tract of mouse models.
