Abstract:
Objective To study and evaluate the effects of Kanglaite Injection (KLT) in rat model of cancer pain. Methods According to Medhurst' method, a rat model of cancer-induced bone pain wasestablished by intra-tibial injection of 3?103 MRMT-1 rat mammary gland carcinomal cells in Sprague-Dawley rats. KLT group were treated with 10 mL/kg of KLT, ip, twice daily from day 8 to day 17 after injection of MRMT-1 cells. In celecoxib group, 30 mg/kg, ig, twice daily for 10 days. NS group and sham group were given with 10 mL/kg of NS, ip, twice daily for 10 days. On day 17, rats in morphine group received a single administration of 3 mg/kg morphine. Pain-related behaviors including allodynia (the hind paw withdrawal response to 2 g von Frey filament stimulation) and the difference of weight bearing between hind paws were measured in all 5 groups on day 17. In addition, the left hind limbs were removed and X-rays were obtained for assessing of tumor-induced bone destruction. Results On day 17 after injection of MRMT-1 cells or NS, the paw withdrawal response frequency to 2 g von Frey filament stimulation on the left paw in KLT group, celecoxib group, morphine group and NS group were 53.3%?20.7%, 46.7%?20.7%, 13.3%?16.3% and 90% ?16.7%, respectively. The paw withdrawal response frequency in KLT group was significantly decreased compared with that in NS group (P
