Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of alcohol extract from Saussurea medusa Maxim on acute lung injury of mice.

METHODS: Animals were randomly divided six groups (n=15) including normal group, model group, control group (Dex group), low-dose group of SM, middle-dose group of SM and high-dose group of SM. Ear oedema was induced by xylene and oedematous response was measured. Leukocyte, TNF-α and COX-2 level of blood was determined. Histological changes of lung were examined by hematoxylin and eosin.

RESULTS: Compared with that of normal group, levels of right ear oedema decreased 46.17% and 50.92% in middle-dose group of SM and high-dose group of SM, respectively. Compared with that of model group, quantity of leukocyte reduced 47.32% (P<0.05), 56.20% (P<0.05) and 49.47% (P<0.05) at 1h, 6h and 12h in the high-dose group of SM, respectively. In the high-dose group of SM, the level of TNF-α reduced 85.47% (P<0.05) and 73.74% (P<0.05) at 6 h and 12 h compared with that of model group, respectively. In the high-dose group of SM, the level of COX-2 reduced 37.69% (P<0.05) at 12 h in contrasted with that of model group. Injury of lungs were attenuated by different-dose of alcohol extract from S. medusa treatment.

CONCLUSION: The alcohol extract from S. medusa can play a protecting-role against lung injury in acute lung injury mice maybe through decreasing leukocyte, TNF-α and COX-2 level and enhancing the anti-inflammatory effects.
