Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of Radix Astragali injection combined with Acitretin on psoriasis mice model. Methods:Effects of Radix Astragali injection combined with Acitretin on proliferation of vaginal epithelium,proliferating cell nu-clear antigen(PCNA) expression,differentiation of tail scale epidermis and plasma endothelin-1(ET-1) were assessed in mice model. Results:Radix Astragali injection combined with Acitretin had effects on all 4 indices mentioned above. Radix Astragali injection com-bined with Acitretin can significant inhibit vaginal epithelium proliferation,PCNA expression and plasma ET-1 as well as promote the differentiation of tail scale epidermis with statistical differences compared with those in control group(P<0.001). Conclusions:Radix Astragali injection combined with Acitretin can improve and reverse psoriatic pathology model in mice,the mechanism of which may relate with the inhibition of epidermal cell over-proliferation and the promotion of granular layer formation. Its therapeutic effects may be explained by bloclking multiple pathogenetic linkages.
