Objective To explore the effects of moxibustion on the morphologic changes of gastric mucosa tissues and expression of serum IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, Hp-IgG, CD3^+, CD4^+, CD8^+, CD4^+/CD8^+in Helicobacter pylori(Hp)-associated gastritis model rats,to reveal the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of moxibustion against gastric inflammatory injury. Methods 40 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:the group A(blank group), group B(Hp model group), group C(moxibustion model groups) and group D(electro-acupuncture m...
