    Abstract:
    Changes of calcium, zinc, copper contents in serum, callus and bony tissue in the early stage of the healing process of rat closed tibial fracture, also the changes of them with radix Salviae miltiorrhizae (RSM) treatment were studied. It was found that calcium, zinc contents and Zn/Cu ratio increased significantly and the rise of serum copper content was inhibited by the administration of RSM after fracture. Zn/Cu ratio in fracture callus was correlated to the calcium content in fracture callus. These findings suggested that the effect of the promotion of RSM on fracture healing was related to the increased zinc content in serum, also related to the acceleration of mobilization of zinc in fractured bone, and to the acceleration of fracture callus formation and mineralization process by the increased zinc and Zn/Cu ratio in the callus of the fracture.
