    Abstract:
    57 cases of chronic gastritis complicated by ulcerative colitis were clinically observed. According to the TCM theory of differentiation of symptoms and signs, 4 types of the disease were divided and treated: 1) stagnation of qi in the liver, 2) dampness and heat in gastrointestinal tract, 3) asthenic cold in the spleen and stomach, and 4) coexistence of cold and heat. The therapeutic effects of chronic gastritis and ulcerative colitis were evaluated: 23 cases (40.3%) of chronic gastritis were cured and 28 cases (49.1%) improved; 25 cases (43.8%) of ulcerative colitis were cured and 28 cases (49.1%) improved. The effective rates were 89.5% and 93.0% respectively. The correlation between the therapeutic effects for these two diseases further demonstrates that their pathological mechanisms are closely interrelated, indicating that it is important to have these two diseases treated simultaneously.
