Abstract:Objective: To observe the effect of Da-Fang-Feng-Tang(DFFT) in treating of Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA). Methods : The animal model of type Ⅱ collagen induced arthritis was used. Granules of the DFFT extract were administered by gastric gavage, studying in genetics, immunology, physiology and clinical. Results : The results indicated a higher onset rate, a severer redness and swelling for arthritic limb and a longer time of clinic manifestation in contract group than treated group, and the IgG level in sera was significantly increased compared contract group to treated group(P<0.05). The gene express of IL-1, TNF-α and IFN-γ were higher in contract group. Conclusion : DFFT express obviously suppressive function on model of type Ⅱ collagen induced arthritis in NIH mouse, and support the belief that DFFT is effective in treating human RA.
