Figure 2 Morphology and distribution of enteric neuronal cells under confocal laser scanning microscopy (× 200) A-D: the immunofluorescence of enteric neuronal cells (× 200). A: the ACh neuron in different groups; B: the SP neuron in different groups; C: the VIP neuron in different groups; D: the NO neuron in different groups. SO group: sham operation group, sham operated (n = 5); SEM group: standard enteral nutrition group, gastrectomy rats treated with Fresubin at a dose of 120 kJ·kg-1·d-1, lasted for 7 d (n = 5); IEM group: immune enteral nutrition group, gastrectomy rats treated with Supportan at a dose of 120 kJ·kg-1·d-1, lasted for 7 d (n = 5); QH group: Qihuang decoction group, gastrectomy rats treated with Qihuang decoction at a dose of 10 g·kg-1·d-1, lasted for 7 d (n = 5).
