Objective. To investigate the effects of Tong-Xie-Yao-Fang (TXYF) on intestinal mucosal mast cells in rats with postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). Design. PI-IBS rat models were established using a multistimulation paradigm. Then, rats were treated with TXYF intragastrically at doses of 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 g·kg-1·d-1 for 14 days, respectively. Intestinal sensitivity was assessed b...

Without any approximation, this paper presents a numerical analysis of full Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation to investigate periodical potential and ion transport in microchannel under an AC electric field perpendicular to a wall in broad frequency range. Numerical solutions indicate that behavior of periodical potential and ion concentration oscillation strongly depend on frequency. The study fo...
