[Experimental research on the effects of "chang tong oral liquid" on experimental intestinal adhesion in rats]
1First Military Medical University, Guangzhou 510515.
Objective:
To study the efficacy of "chang tong oral liquid" (CTOL) on the degree of intestinal adhesion in rats after surgery.
Methods:
SD rat model of intestinal adhesion was made by surgery. After each group was treated continuously for 7 days, serum TNF-alpha level was determined and the degree of intestinal adhesion was graded.
Results:
There was a significant difference between the level of TNF-alpha in model group and those in normal group (P < 0.001). The level of TNF-alpha was remarkably decreased by small, medium and big dose of CTOL, as compared with that of model group (P < 0.001).
Conclusion:
CTOL can significantly decrease the graded scores of intestinal adhesion and serum TNF-alpha level. It suggested that CTOL could cure adhesion of intestine in rats.
