While previous studies have investigated the genetic factors involved in gastric carcinogenesis, there still exist relatively few studies that have investigated the genetic traits associated with the risk of gastric precancerous conditions. In this paper we will review the biology and genetic polymorphisms involved in the genesis of gastric precancerous conditions reported to date and discuss the future prospects of this field of study. The associations of gastric precancerous conditions with polymorphisms in the cytotoxin-associated gene A-related genes (e.g. PTPN11 G/A at intron 3, rs2301756), those in the genes involved in host immunity against Helico-bacter pylori (H. pylori) infection (e.g.TLR4 +3725G/C, rs11536889) or polymorphisms of the genes essential for the development/ differentiation of the gastric epithelial cells (e.g. RUNX3 T/A polymorphism at intron 3, rs760805) have been reported to date. Genetic epide-miological studies of the associations between H. pylori-induced gastric precancerous conditions and other gene polymorphisms in these pathways as well as polymor-phisms of the genes involved in other pathways like oxidative DNA damage repair pathways would provide useful evidence for the individualized prevention of these H. pylori-induced gastric precancerous conditions.展开更多

Ranitidine (R) 0.03% in the diet, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG)50 μg/ml in drinking water, or both of them were administered to Wistar rats for 20 weeks. The iats were maintained without the drugs for additional 23 weeks. A control group of rats without any treatment of drugs were kept for 43 weeks Intestinal metaplasia (IM) was found in 86.5% of the rats in MNNG group, 22.5% in R groupand 100% in MNNG+R while only 7.5% in the control. The incidence of IM was significantly different between MNNG+R group and R group or MNNG group. The number of metaplastic glands was also the highest in the MNNG+R group. The therapeutic effects of retinoic acid (RA) and sodium butyrate (SB) on the iNduced precancerousous lesions of the glandular gastric mucosa were observed. It was found that the incidence of IM, moderate and severe dysplasia, and gastric cancer and the number of metaplastic glands in the pylorus and fundus were significantly lower in RA treated group (72.0%, 24.0%, 0%, 130.2±93.9 and 51.5±39.1) and SB treated gioup (60.0%,20.0%, 0%, 70.3±46.8, and 39.8±29.6) than in the RA untreated group (100%, 52.2%, 16.0%, 442.4±230.0 and 247.4±112.07) and the SB untreated group (88.0%, 48.0%. 16.0%, 241.4±113.9 and 146.4±66.3)(P<0.01 to 0.05). A mucosal flap with vascular pedicle from the gastric wall of the Wistar rats was transplanted to the duodenum, jejunum and colon respectively and the rats were killed in the 3td, 6th, 9th and 12th month after operation. IM was found in all the gastric grafts to the intestines with optical and electron microscopy. It is concluded on the basis of the findings that the concomitant administration of MNNG and R is a reliable method to induce IM of gastric mucosa in rats; RA and SB are efficient agents for the reverse thevapy of the precancerous lesions of gastric glandular mucosa in rats; and the formation of IM of gastric mucosa might be a pH-related process. The possible mechanism of the development of IM was discussed.展开更多

Of the 36 cases, 13 (361%) were mild atrophic gastritis, 14 (389%) moderate atrophic gastritis and 9 (250%) severe atrophic gastritis; among them 22 (611%) and 27 cases (750%) were accompanied with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia (DYS) respectively. Of the 36 patients, 20 were men and 16 women, aged from 30-60 years and those aged 30-59 years accounted for 611%. The course of disease ranged from 3 months to 21 years, and 20 (556%) of them had a course of 5-10 years. The clinical manifestations were fullness of the abdomen (31 cases), abdominalgia (27 cases), anorexia (30 cases), gas eructation (26 cases), acid regurgitation (6 cases) and loose stool (9 cases). When treatment ended, the improvement of patients′ clinical symptoms, atrophy of gastric mucosa, IM and DYS were analysed.RESULTS After 3 months′ treatment with Weixibaonizhuan pills, 7 cases recovered, 11 cases were much improved, 13 cases showed some improvement, and 5 cases were ineffective; the total rate of symptomatic improvement was 861%. Of the 13 cases with mild atrophic gastritis, 11 cases changed into superficial gastritis, and 2 cases had no changes. Of the 14 cases of moderate atrophic gastritis, 4 cases changed into superficial gastritis, 7 cases changed into mild atrophic gastritis, and 3 cases had no changes. Five of 9 cases of severe atrophic gastritis were reduced to moderate atrophic gastritis, and 4 cases had no changes. The total effective rate was 778% in chronic atrophic gastritis. Of the 9 cases with mild IM, IM disappeared in 6 cases and 3 showed no change. Of the 10 cases with moderate IM, it disappeared in 2 cases, 5 cases changed to mild IM, and 3 cases had no change. One of the 4 cases of severe IM changed to moderate IM and 3 had no change. The total effective rate was 636% in IM. Of the 16 cases of mild DYS, 11 cases showed disappearance of DYS and 5 had no change. In 9 cases of moderate DYS, 2 showed disappearance, 5 changed to mild DYS and 2 had no change. Two cases of severe DYS, both showed no change. The total effective rate was 667% in DYS. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of CEA were present in 13, 12, 9 and 2 cases, respectively, whereas after treatment, the positive expressions were present in 25, 7, 3 and 1, respectively. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of PCNA were present in 16, 11, 10 and 4 respectively, but after treatment, they were present in 21, 9, 5 and 1 respectively. In short, the positive expressions of CEA and PCNA of gastric mucosa were significantly decreased after treatment (P<001).CONCLUSION Weixibaonizhuan pill has a therapeutic effect in gastric precancerous lesions..展开更多

METHODS: Sixty-seven patients with GPL confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology were studied,including 39 cases of moderate gastric mucosal dysplasia,19 cases of severe gastric mucosa dysplasia, 9 cases of incomplete colon metaplasia. In syndrome differentiation of TCM,17 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by qi stagnation, 21 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by stomach heat, 29 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by blood stasis. Protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene were detected by labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) immunohist-ochemistry and in situ hybridization respectively. RESULTS: Abnormal expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene was found in GPL,which increased gradually with the course of lesions. In moderate and severe gastric mucosal dysplasia and incomplete colon metaplasia,there was no difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene (P>0.05).In different accompanying syndromes, the expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene increased gradually in the following order: deficiency of both qi and yin of the spleen and stomach accompanying qi stagnation→stomach heat→blood stasis. In GPL, compared with accompanying blood stasis, there was an obvious difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene between the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach and accompanying stomach heat, so did accompanying qi stagnation (the level of protein: X2=8.45, P<0.05;the level of mRNA: X2=7.35, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis-associated bcl-2 oncogene is abnormally expressed in GPL,which correlates with different accompanying syndromes in TCM.展开更多

METHODS: Endoscopic mucosa biopsy and histopathological examinations were made on 37 subjects from a high incidence area for both esophageal and gastric cardia carcinomas in northern China. All the biopsy samples were fixed in 850 ml. (-1)L alcohol and embedded in paraffin. Each block contained one piece of tissue and was serially section at 5 microm. Immunohistochemistry (ABC) was carried out on these gastric cardia samples to determine the alterations of p16 and Rb. RESULTS: Based on the histopathlogical examination there were 11 cases of chronic superficial gastritis, 12 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis and 14 cases of dysplasia. The immunostaining demonstrated different levels of unclear immunostaining of p16 and Rb in normal gastric cardia tissue and the tissues with different severity of lesions. With the lesions progressing, the positive immunostaining rates for p16 protein had a decreasing tendency. In contrast, the positive immunostaining rate for Rb protein had an increasing tendency. There was a significant negative relationship between the two parameters. Changes of p16 was CSG 11(100%), CAG 7(58%), DYS 4(29%) and changes of Rb was CSG 2(18%), CAG 8(67%) and DYS 12(86%), (P【0.05). CONCLUSION: The alterations of p16 and Rb protein may play a role in the early stages of gastric cardia carcinogenesis.展开更多

The serologic and morphologic results were compared with estimating the sensitivity, specificity and prognostic values of the tests.RESULTS: There was statistically significant reverse dependence between the grade of stomach mucosal antral or corpus atrophy and the proper decreasing of serum G17 or PG1 levels. The serologic method was quite sensitive in the diagnosis of non-atrophic and severe antral and corpus gastritis. Also, it was characterized by the high positive and negative prognostic values.CONCLUSION: Detection of serum G-17 and PG1 levels can be offered as the screening tool for atrophic gastritis. The positive serologic results require further chromoendoscopy with mucosal biopsy, for revealing probable progressing of atrophic process with development of intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or gastric cancer.展开更多

METHODS Gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesions were induced by MNNG 125mg/5ml per day for 10 months. 10% garlic 10ml per day were given to the experimental group, and running water to control group. MNF of PBL in the control CG (n=16), MNNG (n=30), prevention (n=30) and treatment groups (n=20) were detected at 10 and 16 months by the technic of micronucleus cell culture. RESULTS MNF of MNNG group at the 10th and 16th month was similar; that of MNNG, GC and PL was remarkably higher than the control group (P<001), respectively; and that of PL was lower than GC (P<001). MNF of prevention and treatment groups was decreased, with significant difference from MNNG group (P<001). MNF of the prevention group at the 16th month was lower than that at the 10th month (P<001), the difference between the prevention and treatment groups was not significant. CONCLUSION MNNG was a continuous mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, and garlic has a remarkable antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effect. The micronucleus frequency of PBL may be a new marker of earlystage gastric carcinogenesis.展开更多

While previous studies have investigated the genetic factors involved in gastric carcinogenesis, there still exist relatively few studies that have investigated the genetic traits associated with the risk of gastric precancerous conditions. In this paper we will review the biology and genetic polymorphisms involved in the genesis of gastric precancerous conditions reported to date and discuss the future prospects of this field of study. The associations of gastric precancerous conditions with polymorphisms in the cytotoxin-associated gene A-related genes (e.g. PTPN11 G/A at intron 3, rs2301756), those in the genes involved in host immunity against Helico-bacter pylori (H. pylori) infection (e.g.TLR4 +3725G/C, rs11536889) or polymorphisms of the genes essential for the development/ differentiation of the gastric epithelial cells (e.g. RUNX3 T/A polymorphism at intron 3, rs760805) have been reported to date.

文摘This study was designed to establish an animal model of gastric mucosal precancerous lesions in Wistar rats and on this model, the mechanism to produce the precancerous lesions and their reverse therapy were studied. Ranitidine (R) 0.03% in the diet, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG)50 μg/ml in drinking water, or both of them were administered to Wistar rats for 20 weeks. The iats were maintained without the drugs for additional 23 weeks. A control group of rats without any treatment of drugs were kept for 43 weeks Intestinal metaplasia (IM) was found in 86.5% of the rats in MNNG group, 22.5% in R groupand 100% in MNNG+R while only 7.5% in the control. The incidence of IM was significantly different between MNNG+R group and R group or MNNG group. The number of metaplastic glands was also the highest in the MNNG+R group. The therapeutic effects of retinoic acid (RA) and sodium butyrate (SB) on the iNduced precancerousous lesions of the glandular gastric mucosa were observed. It was found that the incidence of IM, moderate and severe dysplasia, and gastric cancer and the number of metaplastic glands in the pylorus and fundus were significantly lower in RA treated group (72.0%, 24.0%, 0%, 130.2±93.9 and 51.5±39.1) and SB treated gioup (60.0%,20.0%, 0%, 70.3±46.8, and 39.8±29.6) than in the RA untreated group (100%, 52.2%, 16.0%, 442.4±230.0 and 247.4±112.07) and the SB untreated group (88.0%, 48.0%. 16.0%, 241.4±113.9 and 146.4±66.3)(P<0.01 to 0.05). A mucosal flap with vascular pedicle from the gastric wall of the Wistar rats was transplanted to the duodenum, jejunum and colon respectively and the rats were killed in the 3td, 6th, 9th and 12th month after operation. IM was found in all the gastric grafts to the intestines with optical and electron microscopy. It is concluded on the basis of the findings that the concomitant administration of MNNG and R is a reliable method to induce IM of gastric mucosa in rats; RA and SB are efficient agents for the reverse thevapy of the precancerous lesions of gastric glandular mucosa in rats; and the formation of IM of gastric mucosa might be a pH-related process. The possible mechanism of the development of IM was discussed.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients with rectal cancer undergoing radical resection often have poor post-operative recovery due to preoperative fasting and water deprivation and the removal of diseased tissue,and have a high risk of complications.Therefore,it is of great significance to apply appropriate rehydration regimens to patients un-dergoing radical resection of rectal cancer during the perioperative period to improve the postoperative outcomes of patients.AIM To analyze the effects of goal-directed fluid therapy(GDFT)with a preoperative glucose load regimen on postoperative recovery and complications in patients undergoing radical resection for rectal cancer.METHODS Patients with rectal cancer who underwent radical resection(n=184)between January 2021 and December 2023 at our hospital were randomly divided into either a control group or an observation group(n=92 in each group).Both groups received a preoperative glucose load regimen,and routine fluid replacement and GDFT were additionally implements in the control and observation groups,res-pectively.The operative conditions,blood levels of lactic acid and inflammatory markers,postoperative recovery,cognitive status,hemodynamic indicators,brain oxygen metabolism,and complication rates were compared between the groups.RESULTS The colloidal fluid dosage,total infusion,and urine volume,as well as time to first exhaust,time to food intake,and postoperative length of hospital stay,were lower in the observation group(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operation time,bleeding volume,crystalloid liquid consumption,time to tracheal extubation,complication rate,heart rate,or mean arterial pressure(P>0.05).Compared with the control group,in the ob-servation group the lactic acid level was lower immediately after the surgery(P<0.05);the Mini-Mental State Examination score was higher on postoperative day 3(P<0.05);the pulse pressure variability(PPV)was lower at 30 min after pneumoperitoneum(P<0.05),though the differences in the PPV of the two groups was not significant at the remaining time points(P>0.05);tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-6 levels were lower on postoperative day 3(P<0.05);and the left and right regional cerebral oxygen saturation was higher immediately after the surgery and 30 min after pneumoperitoneum(P<0.05).CONCLUSION GDFT combined with the preoperative glucose load regimen is a safe and effective treatment strategy for im-proving postoperative recovery and risk of complications in patients with rectal cancer undergoing radical re-section.
文摘The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of malignant skin tumors and precancerous skin diseases.First of all,100 patients with malignant skin tumor and pre-cancer skin disease admitted to our hospital from January 20,2018 to September 18,2018 were selected,and all of them adopted photodynamic therapy.The 100 patients included 40 cases of basal cell carcinoma,14 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,7 cases of proliferative erythema,9 cases of Bowen’s disease and 39 cases of solar keratosis.Among the 100 patients,77 cases had excellent curative effect,18 cases had good effect and 5 cases had poor effect,and the overall effective rate was 95%(95/100).After 6 months of follow-up,5 cases of basal cell carcinoma,2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,0 cases of proliferative erythra,1 case of Bowen’s disease and 3 cases of solar keratosis recurred,with an overall recurrence rate of 14%(14/100).The adverse reactions of pruritus were 90%(90/100),81%(81/100),90%(90/100)and 3%(3/100).Therefore,the application of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of malignant skin tumors and precancerous skin diseases is not only effective,but also safe and not easy to relapse.

文摘IMS To observe the therapeutic effect of Weixibaonizhuan pills on gastric precancerous lesions.METHODS Thirty patients with gastric precancerous lesions were treated with Weixibaonizhuan pills for 3 months. Of the 36 cases, 13 (361%) were mild atrophic gastritis, 14 (389%) moderate atrophic gastritis and 9 (250%) severe atrophic gastritis; among them 22 (611%) and 27 cases (750%) were accompanied with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia (DYS) respectively. Of the 36 patients, 20 were men and 16 women, aged from 30-60 years and those aged 30-59 years accounted for 611%. The course of disease ranged from 3 months to 21 years, and 20 (556%) of them had a course of 5-10 years. The clinical manifestations were fullness of the abdomen (31 cases), abdominalgia (27 cases), anorexia (30 cases), gas eructation (26 cases), acid regurgitation (6 cases) and loose stool (9 cases). When treatment ended, the improvement of patients′ clinical symptoms, atrophy of gastric mucosa, IM and DYS were analysed.RESULTS After 3 months′ treatment with Weixibaonizhuan pills, 7 cases recovered, 11 cases were much improved, 13 cases showed some improvement, and 5 cases were ineffective; the total rate of symptomatic improvement was 861%. Of the 13 cases with mild atrophic gastritis, 11 cases changed into superficial gastritis, and 2 cases had no changes. Of the 14 cases of moderate atrophic gastritis, 4 cases changed into superficial gastritis, 7 cases changed into mild atrophic gastritis, and 3 cases had no changes. Five of 9 cases of severe atrophic gastritis were reduced to moderate atrophic gastritis, and 4 cases had no changes. The total effective rate was 778% in chronic atrophic gastritis. Of the 9 cases with mild IM, IM disappeared in 6 cases and 3 showed no change. Of the 10 cases with moderate IM, it disappeared in 2 cases, 5 cases changed to mild IM, and 3 cases had no change. One of the 4 cases of severe IM changed to moderate IM and 3 had no change. The total effective rate was 636% in IM. Of the 16 cases of mild DYS, 11 cases showed disappearance of DYS and 5 had no change. In 9 cases of moderate DYS, 2 showed disappearance, 5 changed to mild DYS and 2 had no change. Two cases of severe DYS, both showed no change. The total effective rate was 667% in DYS. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of CEA were present in 13, 12, 9 and 2 cases, respectively, whereas after treatment, the positive expressions were present in 25, 7, 3 and 1, respectively. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of PCNA were present in 16, 11, 10 and 4 respectively, but after treatment, they were present in 21, 9, 5 and 1 respectively. In short, the positive expressions of CEA and PCNA of gastric mucosa were significantly decreased after treatment (P<001).CONCLUSION Weixibaonizhuan pill has a therapeutic effect in gastric precancerous lesions..

文摘AIM: To observe the protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene in gastric precancerous lesions (GPL) and to analyze its correlation with syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). METHODS: Sixty-seven patients with GPL confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology were studied,including 39 cases of moderate gastric mucosal dysplasia,19 cases of severe gastric mucosa dysplasia, 9 cases of incomplete colon metaplasia. In syndrome differentiation of TCM,17 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by qi stagnation, 21 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by stomach heat, 29 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by blood stasis. Protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene were detected by labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) immunohist-ochemistry and in situ hybridization respectively. RESULTS: Abnormal expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene was found in GPL,which increased gradually with the course of lesions. In moderate and severe gastric mucosal dysplasia and incomplete colon metaplasia,there was no difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene (P>0.05).In different accompanying syndromes, the expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene increased gradually in the following order: deficiency of both qi and yin of the spleen and stomach accompanying qi stagnation→stomach heat→blood stasis. In GPL, compared with accompanying blood stasis, there was an obvious difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene between the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach and accompanying stomach heat, so did accompanying qi stagnation (the level of protein: X2=8.45, P<0.05;the level of mRNA: X2=7.35, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis-associated bcl-2 oncogene is abnormally expressed in GPL,which correlates with different accompanying syndromes in TCM.

文摘AIM:To further understand the molecular basis for gastric cardia carcinogenesis and to provide etiological clues. METHODS: Endoscopic mucosa biopsy and histopathological examinations were made on 37 subjects from a high incidence area for both esophageal and gastric cardia carcinomas in northern China. All the biopsy samples were fixed in 850 ml. (-1)L alcohol and embedded in paraffin. Each block contained one piece of tissue and was serially section at 5 microm. Immunohistochemistry (ABC) was carried out on these gastric cardia samples to determine the alterations of p16 and Rb. RESULTS: Based on the histopathlogical examination there were 11 cases of chronic superficial gastritis, 12 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis and 14 cases of dysplasia. The immunostaining demonstrated different levels of unclear immunostaining of p16 and Rb in normal gastric cardia tissue and the tissues with different severity of lesions. With the lesions progressing, the positive immunostaining rates for p16 protein had a decreasing tendency. In contrast, the positive immunostaining rate for Rb protein had an increasing tendency. There was a significant negative relationship between the two parameters. Changes of p16 was CSG 11(100%), CAG 7(58%), DYS 4(29%) and changes of Rb was CSG 2(18%), CAG 8(67%) and DYS 12(86%), (P【0.05). CONCLUSION: The alterations of p16 and Rb protein may play a role in the early stages of gastric cardia carcinogenesis.
文摘AIM: To assess the possibility of non-invasive screening of atrophic chronic gastritis for preventing further development of gastric cancer.METHODS: One hundred and seventy-eight consecutive Helicobacter pylori ( H pylori)-positive dyspeptic patients after detection of serum levels of pepsinogen-1 (PG-1) and gastrin-17 (G-17) by enzyme immunoassay were proposed for endoscopy and histology. The serologic and morphologic results were compared with estimating the sensitivity, specificity and prognostic values of the tests.RESULTS: There was statistically significant reverse dependence between the grade of stomach mucosal antral or corpus atrophy and the proper decreasing of serum G17 or PG1 levels. The serologic method was quite sensitive in the diagnosis of non-atrophic and severe antral and corpus gastritis. Also, it was characterized by the high positive and negative prognostic values.CONCLUSION: Detection of serum G-17 and PG1 levels can be offered as the screening tool for atrophic gastritis. The positive serologic results require further chromoendoscopy with mucosal biopsy, for revealing probable progressing of atrophic process with development of intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or gastric cancer.
文摘IM To investigate the effects of garlic on micronuclei frequency (MNF) of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in gastric carcinoma (GC) and precancerous lesion (PL) in Wistar rats induced by NmethylN′nitroNnitrosoguanidine (MNNG). METHODS Gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesions were induced by MNNG 125mg/5ml per day for 10 months. 10% garlic 10ml per day were given to the experimental group, and running water to control group. MNF of PBL in the control CG (n=16), MNNG (n=30), prevention (n=30) and treatment groups (n=20) were detected at 10 and 16 months by the technic of micronucleus cell culture. RESULTS MNF of MNNG group at the 10th and 16th month was similar; that of MNNG, GC and PL was remarkably higher than the control group (P<001), respectively; and that of PL was lower than GC (P<001). MNF of prevention and treatment groups was decreased, with significant difference from MNNG group (P<001). MNF of the prevention group at the 16th month was lower than that at the 10th month (P<001), the difference between the prevention and treatment groups was not significant. CONCLUSION MNNG was a continuous mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, and garlic has a remarkable antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effect. The micronucleus frequency of PBL may be a new marker of earlystage gastric carcinogenesis.
文摘In the model rat with precancerous lesion of stomach induced by the combined method of insertion of a spring into the pylorus and high salt hot paste,effects of San Qi (三七 Radix Notoginseng) on gastric secretion and protective factors of stomach were investigated.The results indicated that gastric secretion,gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) and aminohexose content lowered significantly,and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased significantly (P<0.01) in the model group as compared with the normal group;after treatment with San Qi Powder for 12 weeks,both gastric secresion and GMBF increased,and MDA content decreased as compared with the negative control group (P<0.01),with no significant increase of aminohexose content.It is suggested that San Qi (三七 Radix Notoginseng) may improve gastric secretion,and that increase of GMBF and antagonism against the lesion of oxygen free radicals are possibly one of its mechanisms.
