OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Shuanghuang tongfeng capsule(SHTF) on the gouty arthritis.METH-ODS:The gouty arthritis model of rats and rabbits were induced using sodium urate(MSU). The swollen degree of the rat foot,and the amount of synovial fluid,the leucocyte count in synovial fluid and the degree of inflammation of the synovial tissue of joints in rabbits were measured.The effect of SHTF on gouty arthritis was observed. RESULTS:The swollen degree of the foot of rat was lessened obviously by SHTF capsule(5、10、20 g?kg-1,ig).The amount of synovial fluid and the leucocyte count in synovial fluid of the rabbit were decreased significantly by SHTF capsule (4、8、16 g?kg-1,po).The inflammation of the synovial tissue in rabbits was improved obviously by SHTF capsule (8 and 16 g?kg-1,po). CONCLUSION: SHTF capsule have remarkable protective effect on the gouty arthritis induced by sodium urate.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Zangfukong suppository on the experimental vaginitis.METHODS:The experimental rats were equally assigned to 6 groups: normal control group,model control group,gyno-daktarin(0.12 g?kg-1) group,three Zangfukang groups(0.33 g,0.17,and 0.08 crude drug? kg-1).Candida albicans solution was injected into the vigina of the estrous rats to establish colpomycosis model.The effect of Zangfukang suppository on the infection rate of candida albicans was observed.The bacterial vaginitis model was established by injecting the mixture bacteria of Neisseria gonorrhoeae,staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli into the vagina of rats,and the effect of Zangfukang suppository on the gonococcal infection rate.RESULTS: After local application of Zangfukang suppository for 7 consecutive days for treatment of colpitis mycotica of rats,the infection rates of candida albicans were significantly lower in medium-dose and high-dose groups than in the model control group(P
