Abstract:
AIM: There are many active components of tonifying kidney to strengthen the bone in Kanggu Zengsheng capsule, but there are few reports about its effect in treating bone fracture. CR molybdenum target X-ray is often used in mammary gland examination and disease diagnosis. This study detected the callus density during fracture healing in rats by CR molybdenum target X-ray to explore the promoting effects of Kanggu Zengsheng capsule on fracture healing. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the Laboratory Centre of Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from July 2005 to March 2006. Sixty Wistar rats with an equal amount of males and females, 170-200 g, aged 9-10 months were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (n =30). After the tibial fracture model was made, the rats in the experimental group were given 1 mL Kanggu Zengsheng capsule suspension, 14.00-15.75 mg for each, once daily, while the rats in the control group orally took matching normal saline (9 g/L) once daily. All animals were executed under anesthesia by batch on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 33rd days after the operation, separately. The diameter of callus was measured with vernier caliper. The values of callus density were calculated by image analysis system in the CR molybdenum target X-ray. RESULTS: Sixty rats were all included in the final analysis. The photo of CR molybdenum target X-ray showed clear bone lines, and bone and soft tissue were evident. During the process of fracture union, there were significant differences in callus density between the two groups (P
