Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence and mechanism of Portulaca extracts on Tumor Necrosis Factor -α(TNF-α), Interleukin-4(IL-4) in skins of rats with atopic eczema (AE).Methods:40 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group , model group,Cortex Phellodendri group and Porulaca group.2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene was used on the right back of rat for making atopic eczema.21 days later , all animals were sacrificed , compared the weight of the same size of the eczema and healthy skin.The levels of TNF-αand IL-4 in rats skins were detected by immunohistochemical method.Results:The right back of rats in model group appeared obvious erythema ,erosion and leakage ,which meant the modeling succeeded.Compared with model group ,the swelling degree of Cortex Phellodendri group and Purslane group were significantly decreased ( P<0.01 ) ,compared with Cortex Phellodendri group ,the swelling degree of Purslane group were less than them ( P<0.05 ).The levels of TNF-α, in rats skins of normal control group , model group,Cortex Phellodendri group and Portulaca group were (6 652.66±1 190.94 ),(19 927.10±5 494.21 ), (7 515.13±877.66 ), (6 809.93±1 385.54).The levels of IL-4 were (5 378.44±1 685.01),(26 334.89±3 993.48),(7 814.84±1 751.38),(8 246.57± 975.08 ).Compared with model group ,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4 in rats skins of Cortex Phellodendri group and Purslane group were sig-nificantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with positive drug group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4 in rats skins of Purslane group were a little decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Purslane extracts has effect to treat atopic eczema ,its possible mechanism is by erducing the proinflammatory factor ,and moderating the anti-inflammatory factor and the ratio between them.
