Our previous works have proved that moxibustion at "ShenJue" plays a role in protecting gastric mucosa in the experimental gastric ulcer model rat. The present studies are designed to determine whether the mechanisms of moxibustion protecting gastric mucosa are mediated by mucus. The results are as follows: Either before or after the experimental gastric ulcer model had formed, moxibustion treatment would markedly increase the ratio of PAS positive staining layer to total length of gastric gland (p < 0.05), and the combined gastric mucus of stomach (P < 0.05). These results are negatively correlated to gastric ulcer area and suggest that the mechanisms of moxibustion protection on gastric mucosa are mediated by mucus in the experimental gastric ulcer model rat.

D009071 Moxibustion The burning of a small, thimble sized, smoldering plug of dried leaves on the SKIN at an ACUPUNCTURE point. Usually the plugs contain leaves of MUGWORT or moxa. Moxabustion
D009093 Mucus The viscous secretion of mucous membranes. It contains mucin, white blood cells, water, inorganic salts, and exfoliated cells.
D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
