    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulatory effect of Chinese traditional medicine mixture (CTMM) on inflammatory response in rats with severe burn. METHODS: One hundred and ten rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:scalded rats inflicted by 30% III degree scald were treated with CTMM and SD-Ag (CTMM group), scalded rats inflicted by 30% III degree scald were treated with SD-Ag alone (scalded group), and healthy rats were treated with SD-Ag (normal group). The serum contents of TNF-alpha, IL-beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-4, and IL-10 in rats in the 3 groups were dynamically monitored. RESULTS: The serum contents of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL4, and IL-10 evidently increased in both the CTMM and scalded groups. But the contents of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8) in the CTMM group were much lower than those in the scalded group. However, the contents of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) in the CTMM group were much higher than those in the scalded group. CONCLUSION: CTMM has double-way regulatory effect on the inflammatory response in rats with severe burn.
