ABSTRACT
Background:Hydrotalcite has been used in the treatment of gastric ulcer,but its mechanism is not clear. Aims:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of hydrotalcite on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. Methods:Experimental acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer model was established in rats. Model rats were randomly assigned into control group,low and high dose hydrotalcite groups,and 0. 9% NaCl solution,880 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 ,1 230 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 hydrotalcite were intragastrically administrated,respectively. After 14 days,macroscopic examination was performed;and HE staining, CD31 staining and VG staining were used to evaluate the histological maturity,AB-PAS staining,level of hexosamine, immunohistochemical staining,serum levels of epidermal growth factor( EGF),prostaglandin E2( PGE2 )were used to evaluate the functional maturity. Results:Compared with control group,ulcer index(UI)was significantly decreased in high dose hydrotalcite group(P < 0. 05). Thickness of restored mucosa was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),number of cystically dilated gland was significantly decreased(P < 0. 01),microvessel density(MVD),collagen fiber,secretion of mucus,level of hexosamine,expressions of EGF,EGR receptor(EGFR)and PGE2 ,serum levels of EGF and PGE2 were significantly increased in low and high hydrotalcite groups( P < 0. 05,P < 0. 01). Conclusions:Hydrotalcite could obviously improve the histological and functional maturity of regenerative mucosa,as well as the quality of ulcer healing. The mechanism might be related to the neutralization of gastric acid,enhancement of mucus-HCO3 - barrier and up-regulation of expressions of EGF and PGE2 .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy of tepronone and folic acid in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) evaluated by the marking targeting biopsy (MTB).Methods A total of 224 H.pylori negative CAG patients were selected and divided into group A (n 96,tepronone 50 mg/time,folic acid 10 mg/time,three times/day),group B (n=23,tepronone 50 mg/time,three times/day),group C (n=74,unspecific treatment) and group D (n=31,no treatment).The treatment course lasted for one year.The clinical symptoms improvement of each group was observed before and after treatment.The pathological improvement of gastric mucosa by MTB was inspected before and after treatment.The chi square test was performed for the comparison between groups.Results The total efficacy rates of group A,B,C and D were 43.8％ (42/96),39.1％ (9/23),33.8％(25/74) and 32.3％ (10/31) respectively,there was no significant difference between groups (x2 =2.328,P =0.507).For the significant efficacy rate of gastric mucosa pathological improvement,group A was compared with group D,group A was compared with group C and group B was comparedwith group D,the differences were significant (x2 =14.520,14.628 and 8.995,all P＜0.01).In the total efficacy rate of gastric mucosa pathological improvement,group A (49.8％,131/263) was compared with group D (24.2％,16/66),group A was compared with group C (35.9％,66/184)and group B (44.7％,21/47) was compared with group D,the differences were significant (x2 =13.953,8.535 and 5.207,all P＜0.05).Conclusion Teprenone alone or teprenone and folic acid combination can obviously improve pathological changes of CAG patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of stomach intestine power regulator, intestinal microecology preparation and tricyclic antidepressant treatment in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to investigate its pathological mechanism. Methods From November 2006 to November 2010, 103 patients with diarrhea-dominant IBS (D-IBS), who fulfilled the Rome Ⅱ criteria and were excluded from organic disease by entewscope were divided into pinaverium bromide group (26 cases), pinaverium bromide + bifid triple viable group (28 cases), pinaverium bromide + doxepin group (25 cases) and pinaverium bromide +bifid triple viable + doxepin group(24 cases ) by random digits table. The symptom grade, intestinal flora and SCL-90 was tested before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The total effective rate of pinaverium bromide + bifid triple viable + doxepin group was 83.33%(20/24), significant higher than that in pinaverium bromide group [65.38%(17/26)], pinaverium bromide + bifid triple viable group [71.43%(20/28)], pinaverium bromide + doxepin group [68.00% ( 17/25 )] (P < 0.05 ). Five kinds of intestinal flora and psychiatric symptoms were improved in the four groups, and those in pinaverium bromide + bifid triple viable + doxepin group improved significantly. Conclusions To interfere the correlation factor of IBS can have better efficacy. There is a close relation between brain and gut in patients with IBS, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of IBS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of Akt and nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway in the development of chemoresistance in gastric cancer and the relation between Akt and NF-κB.Methods SGC-7901 cells were exposed to chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin and etoposide ) or chemotherapeutic drugs combined with Wortmannin or MG-132.The cell growth was detected using MTT method.The apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells was measured by TUNEL and Annexin V/PI methods.The protein level of NF-κB was analyzed by immunocytochemical staining.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to confirm the increased nuclear translocation of NF-κB/P65.chemotherapeutic drugs could obviously inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cells in time-dose-dependent manner.Pretreatment of SGC-7901 cells with Wortmannin or MG-132 could promote this inhibitory κB in a dose-dependent manner.Wortmannin or MG-132 pretreatment could enhance the apoptosis of NF-κB was found in SGC-7901 cells stimulated with Wortmannin,but no activation of Akt was noted in those treated with MG-132.Conclusions The chemotherapeutic drugs can both induce apoptosis and activate Akt and NF-κB in SGC-7901 cells.The efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs can be increased via inhibiting activation of Akt or NF-κB.
ABSTRACT
Objective To approach the effect on mechanical barricade of the mucous membrane of small intestine caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs).Methods Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and model group.The rats of the model group were given 7.5 mg/kg diclofenac by gavage,bid;the rats of the control group were given the same dose of saline.Then thev were further randomly divided into two subgroups(n=8)at the first day and the fifth day after making the models to observe the scores of anatomical lesion on stomach and small intestine and the scores of tissue damage of mucous membrane and to quantitatively analyze the height of villi,as well as the thickness and the section area of mucous membrane with Carl Zeiss Imaging Systems.Observation of the change of ultrastructural organization of mucous membrane was carried out with transmission electron microscope.Results The mucous membrane of stomach of the model groups was slightly edematous.There was no difference between the scores of the model groups and control groups.It was seen that the mucous membrane of small intestine of the first day model group presented with erythema,anabrosis and ulcer.The ulcer was distributed along mesentery.The mucous membrane of small intestine of the fifth day model group showed bleeding,perforation and sinus tract formation,and the scores of anatomical lesion was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The scroes of the lesions of the first and fifth day model groups were 3.5 and 5.0.The difference had statistical significance when compared with those of the control groups(the scores were O)(P＜0.05).Cell degeneration and cellular necrosis of epithelial mueosa of small intestine wag also seen in the first day model group.The top of villi was ablated.The height of the pile on jejunum was (126.9±32.0)μm and that on ileum wag(118.6±22.9)μm They were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).However there was no difference of the thickness and section area between them,but the thickness and section area showed a tendency of decrease.It was also seen that there were apomorphosis and sphacelism of epithelial cells in the fifth day model group.Some villi were ablated and laminae propna exposed.The height of villi on jejunum[(73.4±25.4)μm]and that on ileum[(109.3±17.6)μm]decreased significantiy.The thickness of mucous membrane[(123.8±51.6)μm and(165.7±37.4)μm]decreased alnd the section area[(2.48±1.01)mm2 and(3.27±0.76)mm2]became smaller(P＜0.05 vs control group).The mucous membrane of the villi on small intestine wag continuous but arranged disorderly.Cytochondriome swelled,endocytoplasmic reticulia expanded with different degrees,intercellular junction widened Dartly.The microviili in the fifth day model group were ablated more obviously and intercellular iunctions were broken and destroyed gravely.Conclusions Diclofenac can cause damage to the function of mucous membrane barricade of small intestine.It could also lead to shortening of the villi,thinning of the mucous membrane,ablation of the microvilli,and widening of the tight intercellular junction as the characteristic morphological change.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of heat shock protein(HSP)70 and HSP90 in patients with atrophic gastritis(AG)or gastric cancer(GC)and its significance.Methods One hundred and forty-one patients including 35 with superficial gastritis(CSG),66 with AG(miner in 21,medium in 30 and severe in 15)and 40 with GC were enrolled with mean age of 47.8,56.1 or 59.4 years,respectively.H.pylori positive patients were 12 with CSG and 28 with AG.The quantity analysis of HSP90 and HSP70 were detected by immunohistochemistry,whereas their mRNA and protein expressions were measured by Western bolt and real-time PCR,respectively.Results The mRNA expression of HSP70 was significantly higher in CSG(1.31±0.80)and AG(1.41±0.80)than that in GC(1.18±0.70,P＜0.05),but was significantly lower in miner(1.32±0.70)and medium(1.34±0.60)AG than that in severe AG(2.20±0.80,P＜0.05).The mRNA expression of HSP90 was kept on increasing in order of CSG(1.27±0.60),AG(1.53±0.80)and GC(1.84±0.70); or in order of miner(1.33±0.60),medium(1.47±0.90)and severe(2.75±0.70)(P＜0.05).The patients infected with H.pylori had higher expression of HSP90 compared with those without H. pylori infection (P＜0.05). Conclusion The synchronous increase of HSP90 and HSP70 indicates the aggravation of AG. When HSP90 is up-regulated and HSP70 is down-regulatied, it may predict the occurrence of cancer.

ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Somatostatin receptors have been found in a variety of tumors and are therefore amenable to treatment with somatostatin analogs, like octreotide. However, the study of SSTRs expression has been rarely studied in nasopharyngeal cancer.We investigated the expression of somatostatin receptors gene subtypes in human nasopharyngeal cancer cell line CNE_ 2 . Methods:We have harvested cultured human nasopharyngeal cancer cell line CNE_ 2 . Using both techniques, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical assay, we analysed mRNA of different subtypes of somatostatin receptors in human nasopharyngeal cancer cell line CNE_ 2 .Results:The positive rate of somatostatin receptors subtype SSTR_ 1 SSTR_ 2 SSTR_ 4 was manifested in the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE_ 2 by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical assay. According to immunohistochemical assay, SSTR_ 1 and SSTR_ 2A showed strongly positive expression and SSTR_ 3 and SSTR_ 5 negative expression,respectively.Conclusions:There are more than one SSTR subtypes expressed in the human nasopharyndeal carcinoma cell line CNE_ 2 . This study demonstrated the presence of SSTR_1,SSTR_ 2 in the human nasopharyndeal carcinoma cell line CNE_ 2 .
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a rat model of chronic atrophic gastritis and investigate the factors inducing gastric atrophy. Methods According to the repeated orthogonal design of L 8(2 7), 60% alcohol and 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate (served as factor A), 0.05%～0.1% ammonia water (factor B) and 0.05% indomethacin (factor C) were given, alone or in combination, to rats in three experiments for 3 months, 6 months and 9 months, respectively. Then the rats were sacrificed and pathologic changes of the gastric mucosa were studied by gross appearence and microscopy. Results Typical appearance of CAG, which could maintain over one month, were found in all rats treated with factor A,B,C alone or in combination for 6 or 9 months. Conclusion 60% alcohol, 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate, 0.05%～0.1% ammonia water and 0.05% indomethacin given to SD rats for 6 months could establish animal model of CAG with a 100% successful rate.
