Effect of Kangmeifu burns ointment on expressions of EGF,TNF-? and TGF-?_1 in wound tissue of burned rat models / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To treat the burned wounds with Kangmeifu burns ointment and observe the expression levels of EGF,TNF-? and TGF-?1 in the process of wound healing.Methods:Immunohistochemistry and image analysis methods were conducted to examine the expressions of EGF,TNF-? and TGF-?1 in both groups at 3,5,7,9 and 14 days after scalding.Results:①Expression of EGFEGF began to express from the 1stday.It expressed significantly at the 5th day,maintained a higher level at the 7th and 14th days.In the blank control side,the peak expression occurred at the 7th day.② Expression of TNF-?TNF-? had two peaks respectively in both sides.The peaks in the blank control side ocurred at the 3th and 9th days respectively,and the peaks in the Kangmeifu burns ointment treated side ocurred at the 3th and 7th days,and the second peak was obviously earlier than that in the blank control side.③Expression of TGF-?1TGF-?1 began to express from the 1stday.It expressed significantly at the 5th day,and reduced at the 9th day.In the blank control side,the peak expression occurred at the 7th day.In the blank control side,there was almost no TGF-?1 expression at the lst day.It expressed weakly at the 3th day.The peak expression occurred at the 7th day.Conclusion:Kangmeifu burns ointment can accelerate the process of wound tissue healing through enhancing EGF,TGF-?1 expression at the beginning and inhibiting TNF-? overexpression later.
