Objective: To observe influences of Buzhong Yiqi Tang on gastrointestinal function

growth hormone(GH) and nutriture status ofgastric carcinoma with qi-deficency and blood-stasis syndrome after operation. Method: Eighty two patients of gastric carcinoma with qi-deficency and blood-stasis syndrome were selected and randomly divided into control group and research group(forty-one cases for each).Patients of control group were treated with support therapy of enteral nutrition from day two to day nine after operation.Patients of treatment group were treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang based on the control groupfrom day two to day nine after operation.Patients of two groups were treated for twelve weeks.After operation

time of defecation

evacuation and bowelsound for the first time in two groups were recorded.After operation

occurrence rates of abdominal distension were compared in two groups.Levels of GH

prealbumin(PA)

albumin(ALB) and transferrin(TRF) were detected in two groups. Result: After operation

time of defecation

evacuation and bowelsound for the first time in research group were shorter than those of control one(P<0.01).The excellent and good rate of research group was 53.66%

which was higher than that of control one of 29.27% with statistical differences(P<0.05). Occurrence rates of abdominal distension in research group were evidently lower than those of control one 24

48 h after operation(P<0.05

P<0.01).Serum levels of GH

PA

ALB and TRF in research group were remarkably higher than control one ten days after operation with statistical differences(P<0.01). Conclusion: Buzhong Yiqi Tang could accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function

increase level of GH and improve nutriture status of gastric carcinoma after operation.
