Objective: To observe the protective effect and mechanism of compound protein zinc (CPZ) in mice myocarditis induced by virus.

Methods: To observe SOD activities and oxygen free radical (OFR) levels of acute myocarditis mice induced by CVB3m. To observe the cardiac muscle pathologic damages of mice by light microscope and electric microscope.

Results: Mortalities of CPZ and CPZ plus VitC and VitC and no-treated groups are 10% and 10% and, 50% and 90%, respectively; Mortalities of  CPZ , CPZ plus VitC groups depress significantly than group of no-treated comparedthe mortality of CPZ group is as well as CPZ plus VitC group depress slightly than group of VitC group (p>0.05). Necrosis and inflammation of all CPZ groups lower significantly than no-treated and VitC groups (p<0.001). SOD activities of all CPZ groups were much higher than no-treated and VitC groups, but lower significantly than normal group (p<0.001)the OFR levels were lower significantly than non-treatment and VitC groups but higher than normal control group (p<0.001).

Conclusion: OFR played important role in virus myocarditis. Application of CPZ in the early virus myocarditis could decrease significantly cardiac muscle damage and mortalities of infective mice by elevating SOD activities and cleaning out OFR, accordingly, improve efficiently prognosis, and advantage than VitCoffers possibility for treating virus myocarditis with CPZ in clinic.
