| Objective: To research the anti-emetic mechanism of Xiaobanxia decoction(XBXT) from the perspective of gastrointestinal hormone in chemotherapy-induced pica rats. Methods: Male wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control, XBXT control, cisplatin model, ondansetron, XBXT high dose and low dose groups. Pica model was induced by cisplatin 6 mg/kg i.p.. One hour before cisplatin injection, each group was gavaged with distilled water, XBXT 0.8 g/kg, ondansetron 1.3 mg/kg, distilled water, XBXT 1.6 g/kg and 0.8 g/kg, respectively, and administerd every 12 h until the animals were sacrificed. Kaolin was weighed every 12 h, food,water and body weight were weighed every 24 h. At the time points of 24 h and 72 h after cisplatin injected, gastrointestinal hormones in serum were measured using ELISA method. Results: Gastrin and motilin were declined 24 h and 72 h after model, VIPã€SS and SP were increased at the same time. Not only decrease the consumption of kaolin, XBXT can also convert the decline of gastrin and motilin and the increase of VIP〠SS and SP. Conclusion: The mechanism of XBXT on the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting was related to ameliorate the disorders of gastrointestinal hormone. |
