Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of abdominal mechanical stimulation on rats with irritable bowel syndrome-Diarrehea (IBS-D), and to explore the possible mechanism of abdominal massage mechanical stimulation to improve IBS-D.Method:60 newborn Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group and abdominal massage group, 20 rats for each group. The IBS-D rat model was established by separating the mother rats and newborn rats. In the abdominal massage group, the IBS-D rats were treated with abdominal rubbing once a day for 14 days. In the model group, the IBS-D rats were only bound to the experimental platform once a day for 5 min for 14 days. The rats in blank group were not made model and with no intervention. The intestinal motility and visceral sensitivity of rats were measured by the time of glass bulb expulsion and the abdominal lift volume threshold. The pathological changes of rat colon tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The changes of mast cells in colon tissue were observed by toluidine blue staining. The ultramicrostructure of intestinal glial cells was observed by transmission electron microscope. The content of proinflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-1β in rat plasma was determined by ELISA.Results:Compared with the model group, mechanical stimulation of the abdominal massage can significantly prolong the discharge time of the glass beads [(2.5±0.2) min vs (1.6±0.2) min], increase the abdominal lift volume threshold of rats [(0.5±0.1) ml vs (0.4±0.1) ml], improve the pathological state of the colon tissue, and reduce the number of mast cells [(2.64±0.22) per field vs (5.61±0.12) per field], reduce the number of mitochondria in the intestinal glial cells and increase the density of heterochromatin, and can also reduce the secretion of proinflammatory factors IL-6 [(189.4±4.7) pg/ml vs (224.8±8.6) pg/ml] and IL-1β [(178.4±7.1) pg/ml vs (191.4±8.4) pg/ml], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Mechanical stimulation of abdominal massage can increase the visceral sensitivity of IBS-D rats, regulate intestinal glial cells and reduce the secretion of proinflammatory factors. The mechanism may be related to the intestinal-brain axis.
