文摘目的探讨养阴活胃合剂对慢性萎缩性胃炎模型大鼠B淋巴细胞瘤-2基因(B-cell lymphoma-2,Bcl-2)和三叶因子1(trefoil factor 1,TFF1)基因蛋白表达的影响及机制。方法将实验大鼠随机分为空白对照组、模型组、中药低、中、高剂量组及阳性药物对照组,每组16只。除空白对照组常规饲养、自由进食水外,均采用2 g水杨酸钠加入100 m L的30%乙醇溶液中给大鼠灌胃,每天1次,每次3 m L,配合隔日喂食不禁水法造成慢性萎缩性胃炎模型,模型复制成功后分别运用中药低、中、高剂量及维酶素治疗,采用免疫组化法检测大鼠胃黏膜Bcl-2及TFF1表达阳性细胞数,光镜观察胃黏膜病理组织学变化。结果采用单因素方差分析法,组间比较采用方差分析中的LSD法。与空白对照组(18.08%)比较,各组Bcl-2蛋白阳性表达率均明显升高(P<0.05);与模型组(43.41%)比较,应用养阴活胃合剂治疗后,中药高、中剂量组Bcl-2蛋白阳性表达率均明显降低(P<0.05)。与空白对照组(95.66%)比较,各组TFF1蛋白阳性表达率均明显降低(P<0.05),除中药高剂量组TFF1蛋白阳性表达率接近于空白对照组外(P>0.05);与模型组(84%)比较,中药高、中剂量组TFF1蛋白阳性表达率均明显升高(P<0.05)。结论养阴活胃合剂对CAG大鼠模型有良好的治疗作用,能够改善慢性萎缩性胃炎大鼠胃黏膜病理形态,提示养阴活胃合剂可能通过下调Bcl-2的表达,上调TFF1表达起到治疗效果。
