Abstract:Objective: To study the effect of Ailuo Kechuanning on mitogen activatein kinase(p38MAPK),myeloperoxidase(MPO),interleukin-17(IL-17),C-reactive protein(CRP),and oxidative stress in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Method: Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) smoke wasused to COPD rat model,the experimental animals were randomly divided into normal group,model group,Ailuo Kechuanning groups(7.75,15.52,31.04 g·kg-1·d-1),The activity of p-p38MAPK and MPO was detected by colorimetric method,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the change of IL-17 and C-reactive protein(CRP) levels.the concentration of MDA, the activity of SOD and glutethione peroxiadase(GSH-Px) were measured in lung homogenates of all the groups. Result: The activity of p-p38MAPK and MPO, the levels of IL-17 and CRP were higher significantly,the activity of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased, the level of MDA was higher significantly in lung homogenates of the model group. Compared with the normal control group. While the activity of p-p38MAPK and MPO, and the levels of IL-17 and CRP was decreased significantly.the activity of SOD and GSH-Px were higher significantly, and the level of MDA was decreased significantly in lung homogenates of the rats treated with Ailuo Kechuanning(15.52 g·kg-1·d-1)compared with the model group. Conclusion: Ailuo Kechuanning may improve the pulmonary function of COPD. The effects of Ailuo Kechuanning for treatment of COPD may inhibite the activity of p-p38MAPK and MPO,and decrease the levels of IL-17, CRP and MDA, lead to the anti-inflammatory and against oxidative damage.
