Study on the Function Change of Stomach Intestine in the Animal Model of Dampness Retention in the Spleen and Stomach

Objective To investigate the pathological changes in experimental rats of dampness retention in the spleen and stomach.Methods The function of stomach intestine was observed by measuring the body weight,appetite,abdomen circumference,movement and absorption of stomach intestine,gut hormone level,pathological tissue in experimental rats.Results The appetite of the rats was reduced.And their body weight was descended.The tympanites of stomach intestine was manifest,gastric emptying and small intestine impulsing capabilities were decreased,stomach intestine absorptive function was cut down,gut hormone level was disordered,pathological changes were generated from stomach intestine tissue.But the pathology was partially recoved with Pingwei Powder,and the effects were better than the spontaneous recovery group.Conclusion Pingwei Powder can ameliorate the disfunction of stomach intestine in model rats of dampness retention in the spleen and stomach.
