The rats were divided into normal group, model group and laser group. The models of CAG rats were established with enema which was the mixed liquor consisted of sodium salicylate and alcohol, combined with irregular fasting and compulsive sporting as pathogenic factors. He-Ne laser(3.36 J/cm2 ) was used to irradiate CAG rats, once a day for 7 min, 20 days as a course of treatment; the expressions of EGF and EGFR were detected with immunohistochemical method. During the process of antral atrophy, the expressions of EGF and EGFR increased, they were higher in model group than those in normal group (P<0.05). After the irradiation of He-Ne laser, the expressions of EGF and EGFR were obviously lower than those in model group (P<0.05). We draw the conclusion as follows: gastric mucosa of model rat is in a hyper-proliferation status, with high protein expressions of apoptosis suppressor EGF and EGFR. CAG has some correlation with the imbalance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. He-Ne laser (3.36 J/cm2 ) can reduce the expressions of EGF and EGFR, which is an effective physiostimulator to stimulate the gastric mucosa of rat. The appropriate secretions of EGF and EGFR are propitious to the repair and regeneration for the gastric mucosa tissues, thus preventing CAG to canceration.展开更多

The treatment course of both groups were 6 months. The clinical and pathological effects and the changes in scores of atrophy,intestinal metaplasia (IM) and its subgroups, dysplasia, carcinoembryonic antigen and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression were observed before and after treatment. Results:The total effective rate was 91% and the effective rate of atrophy, IM, dysplasia in the WSC group were 64%, 67% and 65% respectively, and the respective scores were lowered significantly after treatment. Compared with the WNG group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P <0.01, P <0.05). Immunohistochemical test showed that WSC could inhibit the subgroups of IM, circinoembryonic antigen and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression significantly ( P <0.01). Conclusions: WSC could significantly improve the clinical and pathological changes in the precancerous lesions of CAG. The mechanism might be related to the inducing and promoting effect of WSC on the differentiation and maturity of IM cells and dysplasia cells. WSC could also inhibit and correct the abnormal proliferation of cells.展开更多
