Objective To observe the influence of Weixikang(Herbal Decoction for Gastric Ulcer) on the growth factors of rats with acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer.-Methods The rats were randomized into control group
model group
ranitidine group
Weixikang small dosage group
and Weixikang big dosage group
with eight rats in each.Models were made and samples collected.The immunohistochemical method was adopted to test the epidermal growth factor(EGF)
transforming growth factor-α(TGF-α)
and the protein expression of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR).The hybridization in situ method and the RT-PCR method were adopted to test the gene expression of EGFR.-Results The protein expression of EGF
TGF-α and EGFR was increased(P<0.05);the expression of EGFR mRNA was strengthened.-Conclusion Weixikang Decoction acts to a certain degree to resist the gastric ulcer and prevent recurrence through strengthening the expression of EGF
