Abstract:
Objective To investigate the sore-throat-relieving, anti-inflammation and antitussive actions of Qingyan mixture on the animal models. Methods Sore-throat-relieving action of Qingyan mixture was observed in SD rats with acute pharyngitis induced by spray of ammonia water at volume fraction of 15%. Anti-inflammation action of Qingyan mixture was observed on mice model of xylene-induced ear edema, and antitussive action of Qingyan mixture was carried out in mice with cough induced by concentrated ammonia spray. Results (1) The results of sore-throat-relieving action of Qingyan mixture showed that the infiltration of inflammatory cells did not happen in the blank control group, but moderate/severe inflammatory cell infiltration was shown in the model group. In the positive group, 4 rats had slight inflammatory cell infiltration while the left 6 rats had no inflammatory cell infiltration. Low-dose Qingyan mixture group had no inflammatory cell infiltration in one rat, and had slight infiltration in 9 rats. In middle-and high-dose Qingyan mixture groups, 4 rats had no infiltration and 6 had slight infiltration, inflammatory cell infiltration was markedly relieved ( P<0.01) and the sore-throat-relieving action in both groups was similar to the positive medicine of Guilin mirabilitum praeparatum (P>0.05). ( 2) The anti-inflammation rate was 69.8% in the positive control group, and was 27.3%, 60.4%, 60.0% in low-, middle- and high-dose Qingyan mixture groups respectively. The inhibitory effect of middle-and high-dose Qingyan mixture on xylene-induced mice ear edema was similar to that of the positive control group ( P>0.05) . ( 3) The cough-relieving rate was 42.6%, 139.0%, 64.3%, 104.0% in positive control group, and low-, middle-and high-dose Qingyan mixture groups respectively. Mice cough latent was obviously prolonged and cough frequency was decreased in the three Qingyan mixture groups, the differences being significant compared with the model group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Qingyan mixture has certain sore-throat-relieving, anti-inflammation and antitussive actions, which can be used for the treatment of patients with actue/chironic laryngitis and the complication of cough.
