Tóm tắt

The aim of this paper is to observe the effect of the Feixian Recipe on pulmonary fibrosis in rats. A rat model with pulmonary fibrosis was established by intratracheal injection of bleomycin. On days 14, 28 and 45, the contents of laminin, collagen I and collagen III in lung tissue homogenate in the model group, the sham operated group, the Feixian group and the prednisone group were measured. The contents of laminin and collagen I and III were decreased significantly by the Feixian Recipe. Feixian Recipe has a significant therapeutic effect on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats.
