Abstract:
Objective To study the mechanism of Hezhong Jiangni Formnla(HJF) in protecting esophageal mucosa.Methods Rat models of reflux esophagitis were established by cardioplasty,pyloric ligation and roux-Y type gastrojejunostomy to evaluate the degree of esophageal mucosa injury.After treatment of HJF,the gastric juice was collected with the method of pyloric ligation to determine its volume and acidity and the activity of pepsin.The gastrointestinal motility was observed after oral use of charcoal powder.The level of malondialydehyde(MDA)in esophageal mucosa was measured to evaluate the esophageal antioxidative ability.Results HJF relieved the injury of esophageal mucosa dose-dependently;it had no obvious influence on the volume and acidity of gastric juice and the activity of pepsin,but it could obviously improve the gastrointestinal motility.MDA level of esophageal mucosa in the model group was increased significantly as compared with the control group.Pretreatment with HJF could greatly inhibited the formation of MDA.Conclusion HJF has protective effect on esophageal mucosa,which may be related to the improvement of gastrointestinal motility and its antioxidant action.
