title: [Effect of Weikangfu granule on ultrastructure of gastric mucosa in patients of precancerosis with spleen deficiency syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of Weikangfu Granule (WKFG) on the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa.
  
  
  METHODS
  WKFG was used to treat 61 patients with gastric mucosa intestinal metaplasia or atypical proliferation, and histopathological and ultrastructural examination on gastric mucosa of antral region obtained through gastroscopy were conducted before and after treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After treatment, the histopathology and intestinal metaplasia subset of antral focal region, and the background lesion in ultrastructure of the mucosa in the nonfocal region were all improved in the 4 groups, The effects of Spleen-Qi Deficiency syndrome group and Spleen-Yang Deficiency group were superior to Ying-Deficiency group as well as Spleen-Deficiency and Qi-Stagnation group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and approached to those in the healthy control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  WKFG improves the quantitative balance of internal bioactive substances to maintain the homeostasis, promotes the ultrastructural normalization of mucosa so as to cure the clinical symptoms and reverse the intestinal metaplasia and atypical proliferation of mucosa.
