Objective: To observe the effects of the three-period treatment theory of bone fracture in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) on VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression in the issues of outer periosteum, endosteum and bone marrow of rabbits, and to explore the rationality of phasing method in TCM in treating fracture.
Methods: 3 mm bone defection were made at lower one third part of both radius in 140 male healthy rabbits. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including three-period treatment group (TTG), one-period treatment group(OTG), positive medicine treatment group(PTG) and model control group (MCG).
Objective: To observe the effects of the three-period treatment theory of bone fracture in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on VEGF and VEGF mRNA expression in the issues of callus of rabbits. And to explore the rationality of phasing method in TCM in treating fracture.
Method: one hundred and forty male and healthy rabbits were made 3 mm wide bone defection at lower one third part of both radius as fracture healing model.
