Wound contractions in days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 were calculated by an image analyzer. Histological analysis was analyzed using hematoxilin and eosin.Levels of tumor necrosis factor-2(IL-2), IL-4, IL-10, transformαin(TNF-g growα), interleukinth factor-1(TGF-nd basic fibroblast growth factor(bFββ1) a-GF) were determined by real-time quantitative PCR.RESULTS: Compared with that of YNB group and APE gtoup, the skin of rats showed poor re-modeling and re-epithelization characterized by a significant decrease of neovascularization, epithelialization and fibroblast in the model group. In the APE group, levels of TNF-α-and IL-2 were significantly down-regulated and IL4 and IL-10 significantly upregulated in contrasted with that of model group.In addition, levels of TGF-roup were significantly iβ1 and bFGF in the APE gnduced compared with that of model group.CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the extracts from Chuanwu(Aconitum Carmichaelii) and Banxia(Rhizoma Pinelliae) promote wound healing in the rats, which is associated with enhancing antiinflammatory ability and inducing fibroblast formation.展开更多
