RESUMO
Objective To compare the protective effect of colloidal bismuth subcitrate-1 (CBS-1, Lizudele), or colloidal bismuth subcitrate-2 (CBS-2, De-Nol) and sucralfate against gastric mucosal lesion and to investigate their mechanisms. Methods Gastric mucosal injury of rats was induced by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid. Gastric ulcer was then induced by 50% acetic acid applied to the gastric tunica serosa. We observed the protective effects against gastric mucosal lesion and measured the injury index and the area of ulcer in each group. Statistical t test was used to compare the difference of each group. Results (1)CBS-1, CBS-2, and sucralfate had protective effect against lesions caused by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid and could promote acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer healing. (2) The mechanisms of protective effect and ulcer healing promotion were that these drugs could increase gastric blood flow and increase activities of QR, GST and GR, and could also promote overexpression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA. Conclusion Gastric mucosal protective drugs, CBS and sucralfate had effect of resisting injury and promoting ulcer healing. The mechanisms were that they could increase gastric mucosal blood flow and the expression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA, and reduce oxygen free radical.
