Western dot blot was used to detect HSPs contents in the plasma and gastric mucosal homogenate in each group. The results showed that HSP70 contents of the mucosa around the gastric ulcer in the model group and ranitidine-treated group were increased as compared with control group (P < 0.01). Jianpiyiqi could increase the expression of HSP70 of the mucosa around the gastric ulcer further as compared with that in the model group and ranitidine-treated group (P < 0.01). The HSP70 contents in the serum and mucosa in the model group and ranitidine-treated group were increased as compared with control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 respectively). HSP70 of serum and mucosa in the Jianpiyiqi-treated group was higher than in the model group and ranitidine-treated group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01 respectively).
