title: [Effects of the volatile oil of Centipeda minima on acute pleural effusion in rats induced by an intrapleural injection of car].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the anti-inflammation effect of volatile oil of Centipeda minima and the mechanism of action.
  
  
  METHODS
  The animal model was induced by the Car injection into intrapleural of rats, to observe the effect of VOCM on acute inflammation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  VOCM was able to inhibit the increase of NO, CRP and proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha in the acute inflammation of the rat body.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  VOCM has a protective effect on acute pleural effusion in rats induced by an intrapleural injection of Car.
