:The experiment

in which model of gastric mucosal damage was induced by 70 % ethanol (IG)

and its GMBF

PD LI

NO level of serum

antrum

and corpus were explored

is to study the protec tive effect of moxibustion on acute gastric mucosal damage in rats and its mechanism. The results indi cated that GMBF

PD of moxibustion group were significantly increased compared with model group

LI was decreased (P<0. 05) and pretreatment with L-NNA could aggravate gastric mucosal damage

while this effect was reversed by concurren administration of L-arginine. Pretreatment with snap or Larginine both also significantly attenuated gastric mucosal damage (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Those told that moxibustion can promote the protective effect of gastric mucosal

prevent gastric mucosal damage

and the NO participates in the mechanism of moxibustion
