Chronic superficial gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by different etiologies, and its basic lesions are gastric mucosal epithelial degeneration, concave epithelial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration of the lamina propria, which are mostly confined to the superficial layer of the mucosa, and sometimes involve the whole layer, with the glands intact. This disease is a common and frequent disease of the digestive system, accounting for about 50%-85% of all gastritis in gastroscopy, and ranking first among all kinds of gastric diseases. The manifestations of the disease are: long-term chronic gastric symptoms, digestive and absorptive dysfunction, which leads to the lesion of the stomach itself and the systemic effects of nutritional metabolism, regulation of vegetative nerve function, endocrine hormone release level, growth and development function as well as the overall immune function, which becomes an important potential factor for the secondary incidence of other diseases; weakening of the physical constitution of the diseased population, decrease in the quality of life, and even an important factor for causing psychosocial abnormalities in people. It is also an important factor in the weakening of the physical quality of the diseased population, the decline in the quality of life, and even an important factor in causing psychosocial abnormalities. For this reason, chronic gastritis has attracted widespread attention as an important hotspot in the clinical treatment research of digestive system diseases at home and abroad. The causes of chronic superficial gastritis include depression, uncontrolled diet, cold and heat injury, and in the course of the disease, there is also the problem of deficiency of positive qi, actualization of evil qi, and stagnation of blood and silt. Although the disease is located in the stomach, it is closely related to the liver. This is due to the fact that the liver has the function of presiding over detachment and excretion, which has an important influence on the regulation of mental feelings and psychological states, as well as the coordination of the digestive functions of the spleen and stomach. In chronic superficial gastritis, this pathology is characterized by the internal injury to the gastric lining by emotional and emotional stress, dietary cold and heat, resulting in liver qi discomfort, gastric disharmony, phlegm stasis and stagnation of qi, and cold and heat interconnection. As a result, the condition can be seen in different stages of gastrointestinal pain, fullness and distension, heartburn and acid reflux, heartburn and bitterness, belching and nausea and other symptoms. The treatment is to dredge the liver and stomach to relieve pain, clearing heat, dispelling cold and eliminating stagnation as the method. In the formula, Chai Hu and Qing Pi soothe the liver and regulate qi, Chicken Nei Jin and Wulan Zi harmonize the stomach and eliminate the accumulation, Scutellariae and Gan Jiang clear away cold and heat, and Yuan Hu regulate qi and activate blood circulation to relieve pain. The combined formula has the functions of dredging the liver and regulating qi, harmonizing the stomach and eliminating lumps, suppressing acid and stopping vomiting, and clearing the channels and relieving pain. In long-term clinical observation and experimental research, the method of liver-sparing and stomach-healing has shown the efficacy of protecting gastric mucosa, reducing inflammatory reaction, regulating the function of vegetative nerves and improving gastric motility. Moreover, in the disease identification, compared with the traditional cold, heat, deficiency and solid disease identification method, it shows the effect of quick treatment and stable long-term efficacy for chronic superficial gastritis.
