RÉSUMÉ
Stress-induced gastric mucosal lesion (SGML) is one of the most common visceral complications after trauma. Restraint water-immersion stress (RWIS) can induce gastric mucosal lesion within a few hours. It has been confirmed that hyperfunction of parasympathetic nervous system contributes to the gastric dysfunction induced by RWIS. The dorsal motor nucleus of vagus, nucleus of solitary tract, hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus, paraventricular nucleus, mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, central amygdaloid nucleus and medial prefrontal cortex are all involved in the formation of SGML. Neurotransmitter/neuromodulation such as substance P, acetylcholine, oxytocin may be involved in the physiological process. This article reviewed the nervous mechanism of gastric mucosal lesion induced by RWIS in rats.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of Polygonum hydropiper extract on acute gastric mucosal lesion (AGML)in rats. METHODS:48 rats were randomly divided into normal group(normal saline),model group(normal saline), positive group(ranitidine hydrochloride,0.05 g/kg),P. hydropiper extract low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(2.7, 8.1,24.3 g/kg by crude drug),i.g. for consecutive 7 d,once a day. Except for normal group,other groups were given absolute ethyl alcohol to induce AGMI model after 1 h of last administration. 1.5 h after modeling,gastric mucosal lesion index of rats was calculated;the pathological changes of gastric tissue in rats were observed;nuclear factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf2)content and SOD activity in gastric tissue of rats were determined by ELISA. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,the gastric mucosa of model group was damaged obviously,there was blood capillary rupture in submucosa,gastric mucosal lesion index was increased significantly(P<0.01);Nrf2 content and SOD activity were significantly decreased in gastric tissue of rats(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,gastric mucosal lesion of rats was relieved to different extent;in positive group,P. hydropiper extract medium-dose and high-dose groups,gastric mucosal lesion index was decreased significantly(P<0.05),and Nrf2 content and SOD activity were increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:P. hydropiper extract has good protective effect on absolute ethyl alcohol-induce AGMI,the mechanism of which may be associated with raising Nrf2 content and enhancing SOD activity in gastric mucosal tissue.

Objective To explore risk factors of influencing operating efficiency of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric mucosal lesions. Methods The data of 304 cases with gastric mucosal lesion undergoing ESD in Xijing Hospital of Digestive Disease from April 2009 to February 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The procedure time and complete resection rate ( R0 resection rate ) were regarded as indicators of ESD efficiency. Risk factors influencing procedure time and R0 resection rate were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results Using median procedure time of 45 min as the cutoff value, Chi-square test showed that specimen size ( P=0. 000) , lesion location ( P=0. 001) , and pathological type ( P=0. 003) affected the operation time. Further logistic regression analysis indicated that specimen size (≥40 mm/<40 mm, P<0. 001, OR=3. 748, 95％CI: 2. 247-6. 254) and lesion location (upper or middle 1/3 of stomach/lower 1/3 of stomach, P=0. 001, OR=2. 180, 95％CI: 1. 318-3. 606) were independent risk factors of procedure time. Using R0 resection as outcome measure, neither single nor multiple parameter analysis was statistically significant. Conclusion Specimen size and lesion location are independent risk factors influencing efficiency of gastric mucosal ESD, and could be possibly used to estimate the procedure time of ESD.

Objective To investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of superficial lesions of gastric mucosa, and to analyze the related factors and management of complications of ESD treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 116 patients with superficial lesions of gastric mucosa undergoing ESD, evaluated the efficacy of ESD, observed the appearance and treatment of complications of ESD, and analyzed the factors influencing intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results The ESD was successfully completed in all cases, with the en bloc resection rate being 99.1% (115/116) and the complete cure rate being 95.7% (111/116). The average tumor size was (25.0 ± 11.6) mm, and the average operation time was (56.6 ± 20.5) min. The incidence rates of acute slight bleeding during operation and delayed bleeding were 3.4% (4/116) and 0.9% (1/116), respectively, without acute hemorrhage; 5 cases of bleeding were successfully treated by coagulation hemostasis and hemoclip. Perforation occured in 3 cases (2.6%) and was closed by hemoclip during operation; all cases of perforation had no pneumoperitoneum and were treated successfully by conservative method. Review at 2 months after ESD showed that the ulcer healing rate was 100%. The average follow-up time was (20.3 ± 5.1) months. Gastric angle χ2 = 7.937, P = 0. 01) and the postoperative pathological results as early carcinoma (χ2= 9.145, P=0. 005) were risk factors influencing the intraoperative bleeding and perforation complications. Conclusion ESD is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment, and has high operation success rate. The prevention of bleeding should be emphasized during and after ESD operation. Perforation complications also should be discovered during the early stage of operation, which can contribute to complete effective closure of perforation under endoscope inmost cases.

Objective To investigate the role of TRPV1 in exacerbation of gastric mucosal injury in a rat water immersion restraint stress (WIRS) model by acute postoperative pain. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal controlled group (N group, n=10), WIRS model group (WIRS group, n=10) and surgery after WIRS group (WS group, n = 10). The general extent of gastric mucosal injury was observed and assessed for gastric mucosal ulcer index (UI), intragastric pH and serum SOD/MDA ratio were measured and the expression of TRPV1 mRNA in gastric mocusal was accessed by Real-time Quantitative PCR. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the mean density of TRPV1. Results Compared with NC group, WIRS group showed obvious gastric mocusal injure with higher UI , lower values of intragastric pH serum SOD/MDA ratio and TRPV1 (P<0.05). The treatment with surgery after onset of WIRS significantly aggravated the gastric mucusal erosion and hemorrhage, with UI increased (P < 0.05), the value of intragastric pH, serum SOD/MDA ratio and TRPV1 further reduced (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, TRPV1 was inversely correlated with UI, and positively associated with intragastric pH and serum SOD/MDA ratio. Conclusion TRPV1 expression in gastric mocusal of AMGL model is inhibited by acute postoperative pain. TRPV1 may involve in the exacerbation of gastric mucosal injury in WIRS model by acute postoperative pain.

Objective to investigate the protective effect of omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion on cyclophosphamide-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice. Methods Forty-five kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups as control,model,and omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group(with 15 mice in each group). Mice of the two experiment groups were administrated with cyclophosphamide i.p. for 2 days to establish the damage model. then mice in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group received omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion at a dose of 15 mL/kg daily for 14 days. Meanwhile,the ani-mals in control group and model group were intravenously administered with the same volume of saline. the weight and food intake of the mice in each group were assessed daily. Five mice in each group were respectively sacrificed at day 1,day 7,day 14 after intravenous injection. Morphology of gastric mucosa was observed by HE staining and the activities of SOD and MAO in gastric mucosa were measured respectively by xanthine oxida-tion and ultraviolet spectrophotometry methods. Results Compared with the model group,the general status,nutritional status and the injury in stomach mucosa in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group were significantly improved. After 14 day′s treatment,the activities of SOD and MAO in gas-tric mucosa of mice in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group were significantly increased(P < 0.05)compared with model group. Conclusion omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion has a significant protective effect on the cyclophosphamide induced injury in gastric mucosa of mice,which may be related to the upregulation of MAO and SOD.

Objective To observe the coexistence expression of TRPV1 and μ-opoid receptorin spinal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) projected to stomach , and to investigate the relationship between TRPV1 andμ-opoid receptorand its clinical significance in rats with acute gastric mucosal lesion induced by water immersion and restraint stress. Methods FortyWistar rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups, including normal control group(group NC, n = 10), WIRS group (group WIRS, n = 20), and sufentanil pretreatment group (group SP, n = 10). A rat model of gsatric mucosal lesion was induced by WIRS. 6 hours after WIRS treatment, gastric tissues were excised and microscopically observed; ulcer index (GI) was noted. The coexistence expression of TRPV1 and μ-opioid receptor in DRG neurons was detected by immunofluorescence assay, and the levels of CGRP was measured by ELASA. Results As compared withgroup WIRS, the degree of gastric injury was obviously relieved in group SF. Coexistence of TRPV1 and μ-opioid receptor was detected in thoracic DRG neurons projected to stomach; the CGRP level was higher in group WIRS than in group NC. ConclusionsTRPV1 isinvolved in protection of acute gastric mucosal lesion. Activation of μ-opioid receptor can induce TRPV1 to release CGRP, resulting in protection of gastric mucosa.

RÉSUMÉ
Granulocyte elastase released from activated leukocytes plays an important role in leukocyte infiltration. Since activated leukocytes have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal lesion formation induced by indomethacin, inhibition of granulocyte elastase release from activated leukocytes may be useful in the prevention of these lesions. Rikkunsi-to and ONO-5046, a granulocyte elastase inhibitor, markedly inhibited gastric mucosal lesion formation in rats. Gastric myeloperoxidase activity was significantly increased 3 hours after indomethacin administration. This increase was significantly inhibited by Rikkunsi-to and ONO-5046. Rikkunsi-to inhibited granulocyte elastase release from activated neutrophils in vitro while cimetidine did not. Although cimetidine markedly prevented the indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesion formation, it did not reduce gastric myeloperoxidase activity. Therefore, unlike cimetidine, Rikkunsi-to may prevent indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesion formation by inhibiting neutrophil activation.
