RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutical effect of Canghuopingwei Granules on chronic gastritis in rats. METHODS: Rat models of chronic gastritis and bile reflux gastritis were used. After rat models were established, the rats were divided into 6 groups and were treated with different drugs. The tissue samples were obtained after one week. The volume of gastric juice, acidity of gastric juice and pepsase activity were determined, and changes of the gastric mucosa were studied by microscopy. RESULTS: The acidity of gastric juice was reversed with Canghuopingwei granules treatment. Gastric pathologic examination suggested that Canghuopingwei granules could markedly attenuate the pathological changes of gastric mucosa in rats. CONCLUSION: Canghuopingwei granules has remarkably therapeutical effect on chronic gastritis and bile reflux gastritis in rats.
