abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the change of anorectal manometry in asthenia type constipation patients and effect of reinforcing Qi and moistening intestine oral liquid (RQMI) on it.
  
  
  METHODS
  The fotal of 135 cases were divided into healthy group, RQMI treated group, Maren pill (MRP) treated group and prepulside (PPS) treated group, their anal maximal voluntary squeeze pressure, rectoanal contraction reflex, rectoanal inhibitory reflex, defecation reflex, rectal volume sensory threshold and rectal maximal tolerable volume were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rectal sensory function of patients weakened obviously and anal sphincter reactivity reduced as compared with those of healthy person (P < 0.01), and both were improved by RQMI treatment (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  RQMI is superior to MRP and prepulside in improving anorectal dynamic abnormality in constipation patient of asthenia type.
