Relative expressions of NF-κB p65, COX-2 and IL-1β mRNA in the injured hind leg muscle of rats with the control (Ctrl), model (Mod), vehicle treatment (Veh), high-dose Xiangqing anodyne spray (XQAS) treatment (HXQAS), low-dose XQAS treatment (LXQAS), Cynanchum paniculatum spray treatment (CPS) and Illicium henryi spray treatment (IHS). The mRNA expressions were detected by reverse transcription-PCR assay. The data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 6 per group) and a representative photo for PCR assay was shown here. $$P<0.01, vs. Ctrl; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. Veh; &P<0.05, &&P<0.01 vs. LXQAS.
