To evalate the effect of “Vitos” shilajit shot preparation on rat femur fracture using X-ray / Монголын эм зүй, эм судлал

ABSTRACT

Introduction@#Shilajit and Rhodiola Rosa L are widely used in Mongolian Traditional medicine for the management of diseases and for fracture healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacology effects of the “Vitos” Shilajit Shot preparation on fracture healing and callus stages in rats by X-ray.@*Material and methods@#We used non-liner Wistar rats for <i>in vivo</i> experiments, there are sixteen rats were randomly grouped as a positive control, negative control, “Vitos” Shilajit shot experimental and standard groups. The positive group was as healthy animals and other groups were created femoral fracture by Bonnaren’s device. Then negative control group was oral administered distilled water, whereas 4.1ml/kg of “Vitos’ Shilajit shot administrated via oral gavage to experimental group through 56 days. X-rays were performed to assess fracture healing effects within 14, 28, 42, 56 days and callus stages.@*Results@#Significantly higher callus volume and callus staging were observed in the “Vitos” Shilajit shot group compared with the negative control and standard groups. Also “Vitos” Shilajit shot group was becoming as bridging between both end of fractures and get hard callus formulation ready observation of X-Ray radiograph on 4 weeks post fracture. The fracture healing process was slightly reached to callus remodulation such as final stage of bone formulation on 56^th day.@*Conclusion@#The results of this study reveal that, “Vitos’ shot preparation, which contains an extract of <i>Rhodiola Rosa L</i> and thick extract of Shijilat has a treatment effect and enhancing and supporting callus of bone fracture healing.
