Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of Jingui Shenqi Pill(JGSQ)on pulmonary fibrosis.Method:Pulmonary fibrosis was induced by bleomycinA5 in SD rats.Rats in drug group were killed after being treated by taking JGSQ daily for 28 days.The lungs of all rats were harvested for histopathological studies.The contents of platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB)in lungs were measured and compared.Result:The degree of the alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis
the contents of PDGF-BB in lungs increased significantly in the model group as compared with that in the normal group and the JGSQ treated group(P < 0.05).Conclusion:The contents of PDGF-BB in lungs from the rats with pulmonary fibrosis were significantly higher than that of the normal rats
JGSQ could significantly alleviate the increase and the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis.
