Methods: A model of diabetic skin ulcers in Kunming mice was developed. Yi Bu A Jie was extracted in a Soxhlet extractor. Two different concentrations of the extract (0.005 mg/mL and 0.01 mg/mL) were applied to the wound of diabetic skin ulcers once every 3 days, and local skin appearance and histopathological changes were observed. Resalts: The shortest healing time was 25.25 ±2.06 day with a low concentration (P=0.0037 compared with the high concentration group, 33.14+2.21 day; P=0.0082 compared with control group, 28.21 ± 2.14 days). The longest healing time was in the high concentration group (P=0.0025 compared with the control group). In both groups, a large number of inflammatory neutrophil cells were exuded dudng the experimental period. In the low concentration group, capillary-rich granulation tissue and actively growing fibroblasts appeared in the wound, while there was much necrotic tissue in the high concentration group. Conclusion: Yi Bu A Jie extract has an inhibitory effect on diabetic skin ulcers in mice, and the low concentration is more suitable.展开更多
