Abstract： Objective To examine the effect of mouthwash Yupingfeng on the level of salivary epidermal growth factor(sEGF)in ora]lichen planus(OLP).Methods The level of sEGF Was measured by mdioimmunoassay with ligand 125I-EGF.The saliva samples were taken from the normal control group and the OLP patients before and after treatment with Yupingfeng.Results The levels of sEGF in OLP patients before treatment with Yupingfeng were(4.09±3.64)μg/L,which was significantly hisher than that in normal control[(2.15±1.62)μg/L,P=0.013],and(2.57±1.19)μg/L after treatment,which was significantly lower than before treatment(P=0.05).Condusions Yupingfeng can modulate the level of sEGF in OLP patients.
