Abstract
    [Objective] To evaluate the effects of Jintiange capsule in treating fracture healing in rats. [Methods] The 40 Spragu-Dawley rats were divided into two groups randomly. Left femoral shaft fractures were created in all rats closely, and treated with intramedullary nail. The rats of experimental group were administrated with Jintiange capsule. The rats of control group were given water. The rats were sacrificed at 2 and 8 weeks. Parameters of callus in two groups were evaluated by Micro-CT. Endura TEC ELF 3200 mechanical testing machine was used to evaluate the biomechanical effect of fractured femoral shaft. Moreover, the fracture healing was also evaluated by X-ray. [Results] At 2 and 8 weeks, there was no significant difference in fracture healing evaluated by X-ray between two groups. The total volume (TV) in callus in experimental group was higher than control group in 2 weeks, but no difference in bone volume(BV), BV/TV and biomechanical property. At 8 weeks, the experimental group was significant in BV, BV/TV and biomechanical property compared with control group, but not in TV. [Conclusion] Jintiange capsule can enhance the fracture healing in rats by increasing callus formation in early phase and improving mineralization in later phase.
