Objective To observe the influence of Shenqing Recipe (SQR),a kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine,on the morphology and quantity of colonic interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced rat colitis,and to investigate the possible mechanism of SQR in regulating intestinal dynamics.Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into normal control,model I ,model Ⅱ,mesalazine,and high-dose,and low-dose SQR groups with 10 rats in each group.TNBS (10 mg) dissolved in 50% etha-nol was instilled into the lumen of the rat colon of the latter five groups to induce colitis.On the 4th day after administration of TNBS,each treatment group was administered one of the following formulations by enteroclysis gavage once a day for 7 days:600 mg · kg-1·d-1 mesalazine,2.4 g·kg-1·d-1 SQR,and 1.2 g·kg-1·d-1 SQR.Model Ⅱ rats received normal saline solution.After 7 days colonic samples were collected.While the colonic samples of model I group were collected on the 3rd day after TNBS administered.Ultrastructure of ICC in the damaged colonic tissues was observed with transmission electron microscope.Expression of c-kit protein in colonic tissue was determined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results The ultrastructure of colonic ICC in the rat model of TNBS-induced colitis showed a severe injury,and administration of SQR or mesalazine reduced the severity of injury.Similarly,the expression of c-kit protein of TNBS-induced colitis rat model was significantly decreased compared with the normal control group (P
