Core Tip	Although the underlying mechanism of stress ulcers is commonly believed to depend on the balance between known aggressive factors and mucosal defense mechanisms, most clinical strategies still aim to inhibit gastric acid. In this study, we demonstrated that the Xiaotan Tongfu granule was similar to ranitidine treatment in reducing gastric lesions in a cold-restraint stress model. The underlying mechanisms may include acceleration of the gastric emptying rate, inhibition of local inflammation, promotion of cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis. Our study indicated that multiple manipulations of the factors involved in inducing stress ulcers could be as effective as simple acid inhibition.
