Influence of Different Moxibustion Time of Warming Moxibustion on the Clinical Effects and Gastrointestinal Hormone of Superficial Gastritis Patients Due to the Spleen and Stomach Weakness

Objective: Through observing the clinical effect and the changes of gastrointestinal hormones caused by the treatment of different moxibustion time of the superficial gastritis patients due to the spleen and stomach weakness,to investigate the regulation of the dose-effect relation and the adjustment function on gastrointestinal hormone of serum of patients caused by the warming and nourish effect with moxibustion.Methods: Eighty-four superficial gastritis patients due to the spleen and stomach weakness were divided into warming moxibustion for twenty minutes(n=28),warming moxibustion for forty minutes(n=28),and drug(n=28) groups.To observe the changes of levels of the Prostaglandin E2(PGE2)、Somatostatin(SS)and Epidermal growth factor(EGF)before and after treatment among 3 groups and the clinical effect in different time.Results:①The 3 groups were compared after treatment,their clinical effect have no significant difference(P0.05);②Compared with before treatment,the superficial gastritis symptom score has a very significant difference after treatment and during the 1 month follow-up(P0.01);the superficial gastritis symptom score compared after treatment has no significant difference(P0.05);the superficial gastritis symptom scores were compared during the 1 month follow-up,showing a very significant difference(P0.01);compared with the drug group,group 1 had an obviously significant difference(P0.01);③After treatment,the level of the PGE2 in the serum was increased obviously,compared with before treatment,there was a significant difference in each group(P0.05);after warming moxibustion for forty minutes,the level of the EGF in the serum was increased obviously,compared with before treatment,there was a significant difference(P0.05).Conclusion:①All of the three treatment methods have significant curative effect,and the curative effect have no significant difference among the 3 groups.But the moxibustion group was markedly superior to the drug group in long-term result;②The moxibustion has established adjustment function on gastrointestinal hormone of the superficial gastritis patients due to the spleen and stomach weakness,and it pointed out the gastrointestinal hormone may participate in onset and the process of pathology and physiology.
