Abstract

In this paper, we mainly investigated the effect of Sanhua Jiegu powder on the healing of femoral fractures in mice. A model of closed mid-femur fracture was established, and 40 modeled mice were randomly divided into solvent group (normal saline, control group), Sanhua Jiegu powder (5 g/kg/d, low-dose group, SH-5), Sanhua Jiegu powder (10 g/kg/d, high-dose group, SH-10) and teriparatide group (40 μg/kg/d, TLP group), with 10 mice in each group. The results of Micro-CT showed that Sanhua Jiegu powder had a certain effect on the early repair of fractures. After 2 weeks, the relative bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N) content and bone mineral density (BMD) of the Sanhua Jiegu powder group (5 g/kg/d, low-dose group) increased compared with the model group (p<0.05). X-ray images and Hematoxylin-Eosin staining results showed that Sanhua Jiegu powder could promote new bone formation and callus formation. In conclusion, Sanhua Jiegu powder had a promoting effect on fracture healing in mice.
