Objective To study the effects and possible mechanism of Huoluo Jiangu Capsule (HJC) on adjuvant arthritis rats. Methods The arthritic model of rats induced by Freund’s complete adjuvant was used in experiment. The effect of HJC on swelling degree of feet, weight of thymuse and spleen of AA rats were observed. The serum activity of SOD, GSH-Px and content of NO, MDA were determined. Results HJC can relieve swelling degree of feet and weight of spleen of AA rats, increase serum SOD, GSH-Px and decrease serum NO, MDA of AA rats. Conclusion HJC has good effet of cleaning up the oxygen free radicals and anti-inflammatory.

Objective To observe effect of Huoluojiangu capsule (HJC) on analgesic experiments. Methods The 3 kinds of analgesic experiments of whirling body, electric irritation and hot board were respectively adopted in mice. 60 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups in every analgesic experiment:A group(blank control), normal saline 0.25 mL/10 g. B group (positive control), diclofenac sodium 3.5 mg/kg;C group (positive control), pethidine 15 mg/kg, D,E and F group were respectively as low,mid and high dose of HJC groups (HJC 14, 21, 28 g/kg). Afterward, effects of HJC on ache induced by chemistry, electricity and heat were respectively observed at different time after pretreatments. Results Low, mid and high dose of HJC groups can all inhibit reaction of whirling body by chemical irritation. Compared with blank control group, low dose of group had evidently effect, P 0.05), but it had stronger analgesic effect than positive groups (B and C groups) at 180 min, P

Objective To observe the effect of Huoluojiangu Capsule(HJC) on anti-inflammatory experiment.Methods The anti-inflammatory experimental models were established in three kinds of rats with pleuritis,the swellen sole of the foot and the PGE_2 content in inflammatory tissues,respectively.Results The swollen reaction in the sole of foot in rats induced by egg white was lessoned with the treatment of low,middle and high dosage of HJC.Compared with the blank control group,the treatment is effective in low dosage group and evidently effective in groups of middle and high dosage after 30 min(P0.05),respectively.Compared with the blank control group,the effect of HJC on the PGE_2 content in the inflammatory tissues of middle and high dosage groups was significant(P
