This paper was aimed to study the effects of Qizhiweitong particles (QZWT) on gastric motility in gastroparesis model rats, and to provide a theoretical and experimental basis for its clinical treatment. Rat gastroparesis model was established by bilateral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine into the substantia nigra in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The model rats received single gastric feeding of 1, 10, 30, 100, 200, 450, or 675 mg/kg QZWT or continuous administration of 675 mg/kg QZWT per day for 7 days. The gastric motility was measured by gastric emptying study and in vivo digital X-ray imaging system. The in vivo and ex vivo gastric longitudinal muscle contraction was recorded by PowerLab biological signal acquisition system. Gastric myoelectric signals were recorded by wireless implantable telemetry system. Protein expression levels of proinflammatory proteases in the myometrium were determined by Western blot. The results showed that the single administration of QZWT dose-dependently inhibited the contractile activity of isolated gastric strips from normal rats. The single administration of QZWT inhibited the in vivo contraction of gastric smooth muscle and gastric myoelectric signal in the control and model rats. The gastric emptying rate, in vivo and ex vivo gastric motility and gastric myoelectric signal in the model rats were significantly decreased compared with those in the control rats; While the continuous administration of QZWT markedly improved all the above indices of gastric motility function. The single administration of QZWT inhibited isolated gastric muscle strip contraction, and neither atropine nor nitric oxide synthase inhibitor pretreatments affected QZWT's inhibitory effects. The continuous administration of QZWT down-regulated the increased protein expression levels of nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase 2 in the model group. These results suggest that, in clinical treatment, the single administration of QZWT may induce an analgesic effect by rapidly inhibiting gastric motility, while this effect is not related to acetylcholine or nitric oxide pathways. Long-term treatment with QZWT may ameliorate gastric motility through enhancing myoelectric activities, gastric smooth muscle contraction and gastric emptying, and this effect may partly be related to its anti-inflammatory effect.
