Objective: To study the effect of Qi-replenishing and Yin-nourishing in inhibiting tumor metastasis. Methods: Fifty mice were randomly divided into replenishing Qi group, replenishing Yin group, replenishing Qi and Yin group, chemotherapy group and control group. Models of Lewis lung cancer and B16 melanoma were observed in vivo. The tumor weight inhibiting rate, metastatic lung tumor, concentrations of t-PA and TXB2 in tumor tissue and IL-2 and TNF-α in spleen were observed. Results: The tumor weight inhibiting rates of replenishing Qi and Yin group for Lewis lung cancer and B16 melanoma were both 42.9%. Replenishing Qi and Yin could decrease the contents of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α, and increase the levels of IL-2 and TNF-α.Conclusion: Replenishing Qi and Yin can promote the healthy energy to inhibiting tumor metastasis.
