title: [Effect of shashen maidong decoction on gastric motility in vivo].
abstract: Effect of Shashen Maidong Decoction (SSMDD) on the gastric motility of mice and rats was observed in vivo. Results showed that the gastric phenol red excretion rate of mice could be reduced markedly by SSMDD given in various dosages (23 g.kg-1.d-1, 9 g.kg-1.d-1 or 23 g.kg-1.d-1 for 5 days successively), P < 0.05. By administration of 9 g.kg-1.d-1 or 23 g.kg-1.d-1 could antagonize the acceleration of gastric emptying induced by neostigmine in mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). 7 g/kg of SSMDD by gastrogavage could inhibit the frequency and amplitude of contraction of fundic longitudinal muscle using strain gauge transducer in rats, but the effect was not obvious on that of antral circular muscle. By water-ballon method, it was observed that SSMDD 3.5 g/kg or 7 g/kg intraduodenal perfusion could slow down the frequency and decrease the amplitude of gastric peristalsis, 7 g/kg could inhibit significantly the gastric hypermotility induced by subcutaneous injection of indomethacin (40 mg/kg), but had no obvious effect on the gastric hypermotility induced by intramuscular injection of reserpine (0.4 mg.kg-1.d-1 x 4 d).
