ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effect of the zinc gluconate combined with Salvia injection on noise induced serum immunoglobulin(IgG,IgM,IgA) and immune molecules (IL-2,IL-4) in rats.Methods 50 female SD rats were randomly divided into control group,noise group,zinc gluconate noise group(plus zinc group),Salvia injection noise group (plus Salvia group) and Zinc gluconate oral liquid and Salvia injection noise group(combined group),10 rats in each group.Except the control group,rats in the other groups were continuously exposed to high frequency steady noise for two weeks.The concentrations of serum immunoglobulin (IgG,IgM,IgA) and immune molecules (IL-2,IL-4) after the intervention of noise were compared.Results Serum levels of IgG,IgM,IL-2,IL-4of the control group were significantly higher than the noise group (all P ＜ 0.05),plus zinc group (all P ＜ 0.05),plus Salvia group(all P ＜0.05),the differences were statistically significant.Serum level of IgA of each group was not statistically different compared with control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Serum levels of IgG,IgM,IL-2,IL-4 in the noise group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P ＜ 0.05),combined group (all P ＜ 0.05),the differences were statistically significant.Serum levels of IgG,IgM,IL-2 in plus zinc group were significantly higher than the noise group(all P ＜ 0.05).Serum IgA concentration of each group showed no significant difference compared with noise group(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Zinc gluconate oral solution and Salvia injection have protective effect on immune system affected by noise in rats,the protective effect of combination of zinc gluconate oral solution and Salvia injection is stronger than the individual.
