Abstract

Background: Spleen deficiency-water dampness symptom is closely related to body fluid-mediated organism metabolism and circulation. However, previous clinical evaluation of spleen deficiency-water dampness model was based only on body weight, D-xylose excretion rate, serum gastrin content, etc. Therefore, we established a large sample of normal rats and model rats experiment to verify the scientific nature of bio-impedance measuring body fluid indexes for evaluation of the modeling state. Pharmacodynamics research on Danggui-Shaoyao- San (DSS) was conducted through body fluid index changes of rats using bio-impedance technology.

Methods: A spleen deficiency-water dampness symptom rat model was established through an inappropriate diet combined with excess fatigue. Experimental rats were divided into a normal control group, a model control group, a positive drug control group (hydrochlorothiazide), a blood-activating group, a water-disinhibiting group, and a DSS group. Total Body Water/Body Weight (TBW%), extracellular fluid/total body water content (ECF%), intracellular fluid/total body water content (ICF%), extracellular fluid/intracellular fluid (ECF/ICF), fat mass/body weight (FM%), fat-free mass/body weight (FFM%), and fat mass/fat-free mass (FM/FFM) of 150 rats were detected by a Bio-Imp Vet Body analyzer.

Results: The TBW% of the model control group increased significantly, and the FM/FFM was significantly reduced compared with the normal group (P < 0.05) (P < 0.01), showing symptoms of spleen deficiency and diarrhea; the TBW% of the blood-activating group, and the waterdisinhibiting group decreased significantly, and the FM/FFM increased significantly (P < 0.05) (P < 0.01). The TBW% and FM/FFM in the water-disinhibiting group had returned to nearnormal values compared with the model control group. The blood-activating and waterdisinhibiting split prescriptions in DSS are both effective in treating spleen deficiency-water dampness rats. Comparatively, the fluid-regulating effect of split prescriptions in DSS was even stronger than that of DSS as shown in the present study.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that using bio-impedance technology to measure body fluid indexes can pave a road for further exploring the molecular mechanism of the reason why the blood-activating and disinhibit-water split prescriptions in DSS are both effective in treating spleen deficiency-water dampness rats.
