Abstract:
Objective To discuss compatibility regularity of Banxia Xiexin Decoction adjusting gastric mobility. Methods Ninty healthy SD male rats were divided into normal group (10 rats) and model group (80 rats). Rat models of electrogastric dysrhythmias were established. After the evaluation of gastric electrophysiology, Banxia Xiexin Decoction were divided into Xinkai, Kujiang, Ganbu, Xinkaikujiang, Xinkaiganbu, and Kujiangganbu groups according to the compatibility regularity of Banxia Xiexin Decoction, 10 rats for each group. Rats in each medication administration group received gavage with same concentration but different volume for 4 weeks. Each group was analyzed for gastric electrical parameters after administration. The expressions of Cx43 and Cx43 mRNA in the gastric tissue of rats in each group were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results Compare with the normal group, the expressions of Cx43 and Cx43 mRNA in the gastric tissue of rats increased significantly in the model group. Compared with the model group, variable coefficient of electrogastric slow wave frequency in all medication administration groups decreased obviously. Banxia Xiexin Decoction and its components had decreased the expression of Cx43 and Cx43 mRNA to some extent, among which Xinkaiganbu group had best effects. Conclusion The mechanism of Banxia Xiexin Decoction adjusting gastric motility maybe related to its function of decreasing the expressions of Cx43 and Cx43 mRNA, as to adjust disordered electrogastric rhythm.
