  • PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF CHUANXIONG, LYSIMACHIA CHRISTINAE HANCE(LCH) AND HXI ON HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE IN THYROID ALLOGRAFTS OF RABBITS

    Some Chinese traditional medicines were found to inhibit rejection of graft. The antirejection effects of chuanxiong, LCH and HXI in thyroid allografts of rabbits were studied for selecting an immune depressor from Chinese traditional medicine with efficient and less sideeffect. The rabbits were divided into 5 groups in the study, with 7 in each group. Group I: The control group, no drug was used. Group II: dexamethason 0.25mg/kg/day, intramuscularly. Group III: chuanxiong water solution, 5g/kg/day, orally. Group Ⅳ: LCH water solution, 10g/kg/day, orally. Group Ⅴ: HXI water solution, 6g/kg/day, orally. The medication was given for 28 days. The grafted thyroids were removed for histopathological examination on the 28th day postoperatively and were scored and classified. The rejection and the survival of grafts were scored and classfied according to the La Rosa and Warrens criterion. The histopathological findings were as following: in Group I, follicles were badly damaged with much lymphocytes infiltration and fibrosis; in Gracup Ⅱ, two rabbits died, the other three showed damaged of the thyroid tissue and much lymphocytes infiltration; in group Ⅲ and Ⅴ, three cases showed damage of thyroid tissue, however, better revascularization was evident in Group Ⅲ; in Group Ⅳ, there was one case with much lymphocytes infiltration. It seemed that the degree of damage of grafts in the experimental groups was better than that in the control group, and had less lymphocytes infiltration, especially in Group Ⅳ. It was suggested that chuanxiong, LCH, HXI and dexamethason could protect the grafted thyroid, but the sideeffect of dexamethason was more than the other three. The antirejection of LCH was the best of the three. It was worth doing more research. HXI.
