Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Compound Rhubarb Mixture on contraction of isolated small intestinal smooth muscle of rabbit. METHODS: Serum containing Compound Rhubarb Mixture was prepared. The contraction curves of isolated small intestinal smooth muscle before and after administration of the serum were recorded by Medlab biological information collecting system. RESULTS: The serum containing Compound Rhubarb Mixture amplified the contraction amplitude of isolated small intestinal smooth muscle of rabbit. The rate of change of contraction amplitude was elevated significantly after administration, while the frequency of contraction did not change obviously. CONCLUSION: The serum containing Compound Rhubarb Mixture can enhance the contractive function of isolated small intestinal smooth muscle of rabbit.
