[Effect of Modified Dachengqi Decoction on Recovery of Gastrointestinal Function after Surgery in Patients with
Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Modified Dachengqi Decoction on recovery of gastrointestinal function after closure of protective ileostomy of rectal cancer. Methods Seventy pa- tients with rectal cancer, scheduled to receive protective ileostomy were enrolled and randomized into treatment group (35 cases) and control group (35 cases). The treatment group was subjected to ante-grade enema with Modified Dachengqi Decoction (500 mL) once a day before ileostomy, the therapeutic course was 2 weeks ,and the control group received ileostomy alone. The oral feeding time, anal exhaust time, ileus rate and length of hospital stay were observed. Results Compared with the control group, the oral feeding time(h,22 ±6 vs.41 ±8), anal exhaust time(h,27 ±5 vs.48 ±8), ileus rate(2. 85% vs. 14. 29%) and length of hospital stay ( d,5. 5 ± 1. 0 vs.7. 6 ± 1. 2) were decreased in the treatment group (P <0. 01 , P <0. 05).Conclusion Modified Dachengqi Decoction could promote the recovery of gastroin- testinal function after surgery in patients with rectal cancer.

Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System II: Digestion and Absorption
Digestion begins in the mouth, where food undergoes mechanical breakdown by chewing and combines with saliva. Salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, starts the breakdown of starches into maltose. The food then travels down the esophagus to the stomach.
In the stomach, a...
