[Objective] To investigate and discuss if there are special syndromes,same disease but different syndromes and same syndrome but different diseases in the different gastric ulcer rat models.[Methods] Based on reports,we select fourmethods-stress,antifani,apoplon,and alcohol to make gastric ulcer model simultaneously,and set up the normal and control groups.Then we use the standardized and quantified four diagnostics and differentiation methods for mice,which are established to examine and appraise the above models in an objective,dynamic and quantified way.[Result] First,different mice models have different syndromes,such as in the water immersion model,damage to Qi blood Yin and Yang was slight and recovered quickly.The anti-fani model,with typical syndromes of cold in the stomach,is a compound model of Qi,blood,Yin and Yang deficiency;second,there exists syndrome evolution in the disease diversity stage in the same rat;moreover,significant syndrome difference exists for the same disease in different rat.For example,on the second day after the alcohol was given to the rats,there was Yin deficiency,or abundance of Qi,or deficiency in both Yin and Yang to the different individual.Thirdly,as for same syndrome but different disease,similar syndromes appear on the same stage in different diseases,as well as the similar syndrome appear on the different stage in different diseases.For instance,the anti-fani model and the apoplon model have similar syndromes of cold in the stomach,Qi deficiency,Yin and Yang deficiency.[Conclusion] There exist respective syndromes in different gastric ulcer mice models.We can infer that to put into practice"treating the same disease with different methods"and"treating different diseases with same method"will help improve the curative effect.
