Therapeutic effects of lamb′s tripe extract and vitamin B12 capsule on precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa in rats / 中华消化杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effects of lamb′s tripe extract and vitamin B12 (hereinafter referred to as lamb′s tripe) capsule on precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa in rats.Methods:Thirty-two rats of the 42 Wistar rats (model group) were selected for modelling, and in model group six rats died due to gavage, 10 rats were sacrificed for observing the results of modeling, and the left 16 rats were divided into administration group (eight rats) and non-administration group (eight rats). After modeling, five of the 10 rats without modelling treatment were selected as the normal control of the model group, the other five (negative control group) rats were included in drug intervention experiment. The drug intervention program was as follows in administration group, rats were gavaged with lamb′s tripe 0.2 g/kg once per day for three months; in non-administration group and negative control group, rats were gavaged with 0.9% sodium chloride solution 0.2 g/kg once per day for three months. One rat died in each for the administration group and non-administration group due to gavage. Body weight gain, pH value of gastric juice and pathological changes of gastric mucosa of the three groups were evaluated. The number of nodules on gastric mucosal surface and the incidence and scores of precancerous lesions (intraepithelial neoplasia) in gastric mucosal were analyzed. The therapeutic effects of lamb′s tripe capsule on gastric mucosal precancerous lesions in rats were evaluated. Independent sample t test , Mann Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The body weight gain of rats at the 6th week in the administration group was higher than that of rats in the non-administration group ((508.26±33.96) g vs. (495.50±23.01) g), and the pH value of gastric juice of rats in the administration group was lower than that of rats in the non-administration group (3.07±0.55 vs. 4.45±0.72), and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). The number of proliferative nodules on the gastric mucosal surface of the rats in the administration group was less than that of rats in the non-administration group (the ratio of gastric fundus 6.00(3.00, 7.00) vs. 11.00(7.00, 13.00); the ratio of gastric antrum 0.00(0.00, 1.00) vs. 3.00(2.00, 4.00); the ratio of whole stomach 7.00(3.00, 10.00) vs. 15.00(13.00, 17.00)), and the differences were statistically significant ( U=43.50, 49.00, 49.00, all P<0.05). The score of gastric mucosal precancerous lesions in the administration group was lower than that in the non-administration group(1.00±0.00 vs.1.14±0.38), and the incidence of precancerous lesions in the administration group was lower than that in the non-administration group (1/7 vs. 5/7), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.45, χ2=4.67, both P=0.031). Conclusions:Lamb′s tripe capsule can significantly inhibit the progression of precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa in rats, so as to play a role in preventing the occurrence of gastric cancer.
