Adhesion prevention by ibuprofen and changzhankang (CZK), which was composed by traditional Chinese medicines, was evaluated with a grading system. All of the 13 rats in the non-treated group created severe adhesions. The severity was significantly modified by orally administered CZK of 20 g/kg (in crude drugs) once or twice daily for five days (P less than 0.01 and P less than 0.05 compared with the non-treated). Intramuscular injection of ibuprofen (35 mg/kg, 3 times daily) also alleviated the severity of adhesions. There was no significant difference between the ibuprofen-treated and CZK-treated groups though some of the rats were virtually free from adhesion formation in the latter.

The serous level of ZQFZCJ and the serum concentrations of Zn, Cu and Mg in 53 patients with DSE and in 83 normal subjects were measured with atomic absorption spectrometric analysis. In contrast to the normal subjects, the concentrations of Zn and Mg were decreased and that of Cu and the ratio of Cu/Zn increased in the patients before treatment (P greater than 0.01-0.05). After treatment, however, the concentrations of Zn and Mg became increased (P less than 0.001, P less than 0.05), and the ratio of Cu/Zn decreased (P less than 0.001).
