RESUMO
AIM To observe the therapeutic effects of Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction (Zingiberis recens Rhizoma,Zingiberis Rhizoma,Coptidis Rhizoma,etc.) on irinotecan (CPT-11)-induced delayed diarrhea in colorectal carcinoma mice and to discuss its possible action mechanism.METHODS The AOM/DSS-induced female colorectal carcinoma mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group and Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction group.The Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction group was intragastrically administered with Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction,the normal group and the model group were intragastrically administered with normal saline.The diarrhea index and rectum pathologic morphology were measured,and the β-glucuronide activity,IL-15 content and UGT1A1 expression were detected.RESULTS The diarrhea index of Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction group was significantly lower than that of the model group,which might be related to the significant inhibition of β-glucuronide activity,and sig-nificant improvement of IL-15 content and UGT1A1 expression.CONCLUSION Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction shows therapeutic effects on irinotecan-induced delayed diarrhea in AOM/DSS-induced colorectal carcinoma mice.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe modulation of gut functions and intestinal mucosal immune barrier by ShengJiangXieXinTang in rats receiving Irinotecan(CPT-11).Methods:Sprague Dawley male rats(n=18)were randomly assigned to three groups:(1)herb group (using ShengJiangXieXinTang by oral administration once a day from day 1 to day 9 and being injected with 150 mg/kg?d CPT-11 on day 4 and 5 into the tail vein); (2)diarrhea control group: using distilled water instead of ShengJiangXieXinTang,with the same treatment of CPT-11 as the herb group; (3)normal control group: using normal saline instead of CPT-11, distilled water instead of ShengJiangXieXinTang,and with the same treatment of as the CPT-11 herb group.The animals were scored in terms of delayed-onset of diarrhea. Rats were killed on day 10,collecting ileum,cecum and colon for pathological examination.The damages in intestinal mucosa were assessed under light microscope according to the criterion of chiu's score.CD4+,CD8+T-lymphocytes and SIgA were enumerated by immunohistochemical staining and calculated by imaging analyzer.Results:Compared with diarrhea control group,the incidence of diarrhea and the damage in intestinal mucosa of the herb group was milder(P
