Aim: To investigate the protective effect of purified fraction 1 polysaccharide extracted from Rheum tanguticum RTP1 on irradiation-induced immune damage in mice. Methods: Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups: normal group (NC), irradiation control group (IC), RTP1 low dose (200 mg/kg), middle dose (400 mg/kg) and high dose (800 mg/kg) groups. RTP1 was adminstered by the gastric route for 14 d, mice in the NC and IC groups being given by 0.9% sodium chloride solution in the same way. The mice in all groups except NC group were irradiated with 2.0 Gy $^{60}Co{\gamma}$-ray on the fourteenth day. Immune indives of non-specific immune function, cellular immunity and humoral immunity were assessed at the 24th hour after radiation. Results: Compared with the IC group, the spleen index, thymus index, rate of carbon clearance, phagocytic function of macrophages, lymphocyte proliferation, hemolysin value of blood serum and NK activity were increased markedly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.05). Conclusion: RTP1 has an obvious protective effects on damage in ${\gamma}$-ray radiated mice.

본 실험에서 흰쥐에 실험적으로 급성위염, 위궤양 및 십이지장궤양을 유발하고 지유 에틸아세테이트분획을 투여하여 항위염 및 항궤양에 미치는 영향을 검토하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 지유 에탄올 추출물을 n-헥산, 클로르포룸, 에틸아세테이트 및 n-부타놀과 물로 계통분획하여 농축하고 in vitro에서 항산화력을 측정한 결과 에틸아세테이트분획이 가장 우수하였다. 지유 에틸아세테이트분획 (SOL & SOH)의 HCI-EtOH급성위염에 대한 억제율은 각각 $27.7\%$, $31.7\%$로 대조약물로 사용된 cimetidine(CMT, $47.2\%$)의 억제효과에는 미치지 못했으나 CON에 비해 우수하였다. Indomethacin유발 위궤양에서, SOL & SOH의 위궤양억제율은 각각 $48.28\%$, $51.08\%$로 대조약물로 사용된 CMT($58.26\%$)의 억제효과에는 미치지 못했으나 CON에 비하며 유의 성있는 억제효과를 나타냈다. Shay 위궤양에서, 지유 에틸아세테이트분획을 십이지장에서 위내로 투여하였을 때 궤양 억제율은 SOL이 $42.86\%$로 CON에 비하여 억제되었으나 유의성 있는 효과는 아니었으며, 용량을 증량하여 투여한 SOH는 $47.71\%$로 대조약물인 omeprazol(OMP)의 저해효과($62.00\%$)에 미치지는 못했으나 CON에 비해 유의적민 효과를 나타내었다. 위액량 및 총위산분비량에서, 지유 에틸아세데이트분획 투여로 CON에 비하여 $32.11\%$와 $47.69\%$, $24.28\%$와 $34.69\%$의 감소로 유의성 있는 효과를 나타냈으며 OMP($55.69\%$, $41.62\%$)에 근접하게 감소되었다. pepsin 활성은 지유 에틸아세테이트분획 투여로 CON에 비해 각각 $19.55\%$, $\%21.45$가 저하되었으나 유의성있는 변화는 아니었다. 수침 $\cdot$ 구속 스트레스에 의해 유발된 궤양의 경우, SOL는 궤양억제율이 $9.23\%$ 로 CON와 유사하게 출혈을 동반한 깊은 궤양이 관찰되었으나 용량을 증량하여 투여한 SOH는 $48.45\%$로 CON에 비해 궤양의 깊이도 얕아졌고 출혈을 동반한 궤양도 감소되어 유의적인 억제율을 나타내었다. Cysteamine 유발 십이지장궤양에서, CMT는 유발된 십이지장 궤양을 CON에 비해 $54\%$ 정도 억제하여 우수한 항궤양효과를 나타냈고 시료투여군인 SOL 및 SOH는 CMT보다 우수하지는 않았으나 약 $35\∼42\%$ 정도의 궤양억제율을 나타냈다. 이상의 실험결과에서 지유의 항위염 및 항궤양효과는 항산화물질에 의한 결과로 판단되어지며, 앞으로 위염 및 위궤양 개선을 위한 건강 기능성 식품으로 개발이 기대된다

Objective : Gastritis refers to an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa. Alcohol is one of the main aggression factors, causing bleeding and inflammation in the gastric mucosa and it is known to not only increase lipid peroxide levels, but also deplete key antioxidant factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus water extract (URW) in alcohol-induced gastritis. Methods : The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of URW were confirmed through an in vitro experiment. Also, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity were confirmed. For in vivo experiments, mice were divided into 4 groups (n=8). Also, 1 hr after oral administration of each drug, 50% ethanol was orally administered to induce gastritis. Results : As a result of in vitro experiments, URW showed excellent antioxidant activity. In alcohol-induced gastritis, URW alleviated the damage to the gastric mucosa caused by alcohol. Also, URW decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in serum and gastric tissues, and significantly decreased the expression of NADPH oxidases in gastric tissues. In addition, it significantly modulated the nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor-𝜅B p65 (NF-𝜅B) pathways as well as significantly increased the expression of anti-inflammatory proteins. Conclusions : These results suggest that URW not only reduces oxidative stress through excellent antioxidant activity but also relieves gastric mucosal inflammation as a regulator of Nrf2 and NF-𝜅B pathways.

Gastrointestinal irritation is the most frequent adverse effect in patients chronically taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the treatment of arthritic conditions. Gastroprotective effect of DA-9601, a new antiulcer agent from Artemisiae Herba extract, against NSAID was evaluated in a rat model of arthritis that is similar in many aspects to human rheumatoid arthritis. Daily oral dosing of naproxen (30 mg/kg), one of the most commonly used NSAID, induced apparent gastric lesions as well as a significant decrease in mucosal prostagiandin $E_2;(PGE_2)$ and prostagiandin F_${1{\alpha}}$$(PGF_{1{\alpha}})$ levels. Coadministration of DA-9601 prevents naproxen-induced mucosal injury and depletion of prostaglandins, in a dose-related manner. DA-9601 did not alter the antiinflammatory or analgesic effect of naproxen. The present results suggest that DA-9601 may be useful as a mucoprotectant against NSAIDs in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is a major cause of cancer. This study investigated the effects of the ethanol extracts from germinated and non-germinated Keunnunjami rice, a blackish-purple pigmented cultivar with giant embryo, on selected human cancer cell lines and on the antioxidant defense system of mice fed with a high-fat diet. MATERIALS/METHODS: High fat-fed mice were orally administered with either distilled water (HF) or extracts (0.25%, w/w) from brown (B), germinated brown (GB), Keunnunjami (K), and germinated Keunnunjami (GK) rice. RESULTS: In comparison with the brown rice extract, Keunnunjami extract showed higher anticancer effect against cervical and gastric cell lines but lower anticancer activity on liver and colon cancer cells. Mice from the HF group showed significantly higher lipid peroxidation and lower antioxidant enzyme activities than the control group. However, the oxidative stress induced by high-fat diet markedly decreased in B, GB, K, and GK groups as compared with the HF group. CONCLUSIONS: Germination may be an effective method for improving the anticancer and antioxidative properties of Keunnunjami rice and extracts from germinated Keunnunjami rice may serve as a therapeutic agent against cervical and gastric cancers and oxidative damage.

Vagal damage and subsequent pyloric denervation inevitably occur during esophagectomy, potentially leading to delayed gastric emptying (DGE). The choice of an optimal pyloric procedure to overcome DGE is important, as such procedures can lead to prolonged surgery, shortening of the conduit, disruption of the blood supply, and gastric dumping/bile reflux. This study investigated various pyloric methods and analyzed comparative studies in order to determine the optimal pyloric procedure. Surgical procedures for the pylorus include pyloromyotomy, pyloroplasty, or digital fracture. Botulinum toxin injection, endoscopic balloon dilatation, and erythromycin are non-surgical procedures. The scope, technique, and effects of these procedures are changing due to advances in minimally invasive surgery and postoperative interventions. Some comparative studies have shown that pyloric procedures are helpful for DGE, while others have argued that it is difficult to reach an objective conclusion because of the variety of definitions of DGE and evaluation methods. In conclusion, recent advances in interventional technology and minimally invasive surgery have led to questions regarding the practice of pyloric procedures. However, many clinicians still perform them and they are at least somewhat effective. To provide guidance on the optimal pyloric procedure, DGE should first be defined clearly, and a large-scale study with an objective evaluation method will then be required.

Astaxanthin (ASX) is a xanthophyll pigment isolated from crustaceans and salmonids. Owing to its powerful antioxidant activity, ASX has been reported to have the potential to protect against gastric ulcers and a variety of other illnesses. Histamine (His) is a dietary factor that causes gastric erosion and ulceration in young chicks. In this study, we examined whether ASX had protective effects on dietary histamine-induced lesions in the gizzard and proventriculus of broiler chickens. Four experimental treatment groups were planned: basal diet (BD), BD+His, BD+ASX, and BD+ASX+His, with four chicks (5 days old) in each group and three replications (i.e., a total of 12 chicks per group). The BD was supplemented with either 0.4% His or 100 ppm ASX. The birds were fed ad libitum for 3 weeks, and diets contained no antimicrobial compounds. Supplementing the diet with His significantly decreased body weight gain, but increased the weights of the gizzard and proventriculus of the chicks as compared with those of chicks in the BD group (p<0.05). ASX did not affect His-dependent changes in chick body weight or weights of the gizzard and proventriculus. The loss of gastric glands in the proventriculus, which was observed in His-treated chicks, was not prevented by ASX administration. The frequency of proventricular ulceration, however, was lowered by treatment with ASX, without significant differences between the two supplementation levels. In conclusion, our data showed that ASX might be helpful for alleviating structural damage to the digestive system in poultry under certain stressful conditions.

This laboratory has recently reported the solubility and in vivo absorption enhancement of diclofenac sodium by ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ complexation. The acute gastroduodenal mucosa injury provoked by administration of 34 mg/kg and 68 mg/kg of a diclofenac sodium (DS) and equivalent dose of new formulation [diclofenac sodium-beta-cyclodextrin complexation$(DS-{\beta}-CD)$] was evaluated and compared. Microscopic examinations, performed after 18-hrs treatment, demonstrated that $DS-{\beta}-CD$ was less gastrolesive than DS. The drop in gastrophy after a single dose of the assigned drug was considerably greater for DS than for $DS-{\beta}-CD$, which registered similar values to control. Since gastrophy is an expression of the anatomy-functional integrity of the gastric barrier, the results indicate that $DS-{\beta}-CD$ exerts less direct acute damage on the gastric mucosa. Therefore, when administered short-term, $DS-{\beta}-CD$ appears to be less gastrolesive than the standard DS formulation.
