The sample group were administered sihogeji-tang after gastro-inflammation elicitation. Results : In the common morphology and histochemical change, the control group were observed to have various injuries by hemorrhagic erosion, while the sample group had noticeably fewer injuries than the control. In the immunohistochemical change, the distribution of HSP-70, PCNA treated with sihogeji-tang noticeably increased over the control group.
