Abstract:Objective:To study the regulation of Cinnabar, Zhusha Anshen wan(ZSASW) and HgS on absorption and distribution in mice. Method: Oral gavage was given to Kunming mice with cinnabar (0.2 g·kg-1), high dose of cinnabar (11.2 g·kg-1), ZSASW (2 g·kg-1), HgS (0.07 g·kg-1) or saline daily for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 hours, mercury accumulation in blood, liver, kidney and brain was determined by atomic fluoresence detector. Result: In comparison, the maximal serum concentration and serum concentration in each time of cinnabar clinical dose group and ZSASW group have obvious difference with the HgCl2 group. The mercury accumulation in liver and kidney in each time of clinical dose group and ZSASW group have obvious difference with the HgCl2 group. The mercury accumulation in blood and organs also had obvious difference between cinnabar clinical dose group and high dose group, and the high dose has the maximal accumulation in brain. Conclusion: Both cinnabar clinical dose group and ZSASW group have obvious difference with cinnabar high dose group and HgS group in absorption and mercury accumulation in organs.
