title: [Inhibition of fructus Corni on experimental inflammation].
abstract: Fructus Corni (FC) decoction inhibits the increase of peritoneal capillary permeability by ip 0.7% acetic acid in mice, the proliferation of granuloma formed by implanting cotton pellets in rats, the swelling of mouse pinnea with xylene and the edema of hind paw induced by injection of fresh egg white 0.1 ml in rats. FC decreases the contents of ascorbic acid in adrenal, but has no marked effect on the contents of prostaglandin E in inflammatory tissue of rats. These results indicate that the inhibitory effect of FC on the inflammatory process may be related to pituitary-adrenal axis.
