Abstract

|
|
Objectives : BALB/c mice were administered with JeEoTmg extract after rheumatoid arthritis elicitation were observed to investigate the mitigative effect of JeEoTang for rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods : The JeEoTang extract(3.3 ml/kg/day) was daily administered for 14 days to mice suffered from rheumatoid arthritis induced by LPS(300 pt/kg). These specimens were decalcificated in EDTA solution for 4 Weeks.
Results : All parameters involved in the rheumatoid arthritis of synovial membrane - hyperplasia of synoviocytes, fibrosis, angiogensis. and infiltration of inflammatory cells - were dramatically decreased in JeEoTmg extract administered mice. The number of NK-1.1, IL-lP, IL-2R-a, and ICAM-1 positive cells in synovial membrane was also remarkably diminished in JeEoTmg extract administered mice and apoptotic cell was decreased.
Conclusions : These results indicate that the immnue suppression of JeEoTmg work on the mitigation of synovial damages in mice with rheumatoid arthritis, subsequently JeEoTung may play a role as a cure for rheumatoid arthritis.
