CHANGES OF GASTRIC AND INTESTINAL MUCOUS MEMBRANE IN THE RAT MODEL OF "EXPERIMENTAL DEFICIENCY SPLEEN SYNDROME"——A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

The experiment is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory "Spleen and stomach can be injured or caused functional deficiency by fatigue, starvation or overeating".Wistar rats were used in the experiment and divided into two groups according to their weight. Fatigue, starvation or overeating models were produced by various methods. The results obtained by SEM showed that the gastric and intestinal mucosa were normal in the control group and erosion of mucosa appeared in the experimental group. The erosion was more severe in the heavy weight rats than that of the light weight rats.
