Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacodynamic effects of volatile oil from Homalomena occulta on adjuvant-induced arthritis(AA)model rats and its mechanism. METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided into normal control group(0.5%polysor-bate 80),model control group (0.5% polysorbate 80),positive control group (Tripterygium glycosides tablets,10 mg/kg), high-dose,middle-dose and low-dose(0.08,0.04 and 0.02 ml/kg)groups of volatile oil from H. occulta. Except for normal control group,other groups were given complete Freund's adjuvant subcutaneously via right rear foot plantar to induce AA model,and giv-en relevant medicine intragastrically for 25 days,once a day,since modeling. The articular swelling degree,immune organ (thy-mus gland and spleen) index,pathological change,the contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in serum were detected. RESULTS:Com-pared with normal control group,the primary and secondary articular swelling degree and thymus gland index of rats and the serum contents of IL-1β and TNF-α increased in model control group,while spleen index decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);obvious tissue swelling,large amount of neutrophile granulocyte,leukomonocyte and macrophage infiltrating joint surrounding tissue,the prolifer-ation of synovial cells and obvious osteoarthritic lesion were observed in podarthrum. Compared with model control group,the pri-mary and secondary articular swelling degree and the serum content of IL-1β decreased in the volatile oil from H. occulta groups;thymus gland index increased in middle-dose and low-dose groups of the volatile oil from H. occulta;the content of TNF-α de-creased in high-dose group of the volatile oil from H. occulta(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The inflammatory cell infiltration of joint sur-rounding tissue relieved in treatment groups,synovial cells proliferation was not obvious and synovial cells morphology was im-proved. CONCLUSIONS:The volatile oil from H. occulta has the pharmacodynamic effects on AA in rat,and its mechanism might be related to the serum content reduction of IL-1β and TNF-α.
