Objective:To observe the effect of the therapy of feeling pulse with Zhouyi Xiangshu on skin temperature of five-shu point on spleen and stomach meridian and ghrelin in patients with functional dyspepsia.Methods:Divided 160 cases of patients with functional dyspepsia into 2 groups randomly,80 cases in each group.The treatment group receivedthe therapy of feeling pulse with Zhouyi Xiangshu,while the control group was treated with mosapride citrate dispersible tablets.Detected skin temperature of five-shu point on spleen and stomach meridian and serum ghrelin content before treatment and on the 7th, 14thand 21stday of treatment.Discussed the correlation between the two indexes as well.Results: Before treatment,no significant difference was found in the comparison of skin temperature of five-shu point on spleen and stomach meridian between the two groups(P>0.05).On the 14thday of treatment,skin temperature of Yinbai and Yinlingquan in the treatment group was higher than that before treatment and that in the control group,differences being significant(P<0.05).On the 21stday of treatment,skin temperature of five-shu point on both spleen and stomach meridian was increased in the treatment group,while that in the control group was decreased when compared with that before treatment,differences being significant(P<0.05).The skin temperature of five-shu point on both spleen and stomach meridian in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,serum ghrelin content in both groups was increased when compared with that before treatment,differences being significant(P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the comparison of serum ghrelin content at the same time in both groups(P>0.05).Serum ghrelin content was found to be positively correlated with skin temperature of five-shu point on spleen and stomach meridian(P=0.003).Conclusion:By regulating the unbalance of meridian qi in spleen and stomach,the therapy of feeling pulse with Zhouyi Xiangshu can increase the skin temperature of five-shu point on spleen and stomach meridian so as to improve the function of spleen and stomach.The mechanism of this therapy may be related to serum ghrelin content.
