It was examined the effect of fermented rice wine using mycelium of Phellinus linteus (FWPL) on the gastric mucosa of rat. The gastric mucosal lesions were not seen macroscopically in normal, but ethanol-administrated rats produced congestion and edema with a few local lesions. The administration of FWPL showed a similar pattern as like normal except trace histopathological changes. The results of Western blot analyses showed that the higher expression of inducible nitric oxygenase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, COX-2, tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ and c-fos, especially COX-2, in the ethanol-administrated rat compared with normal rat. But FWPL-administrated rat showed a trace increase of these expression compared to normal rat. About immunohistochemical observations, weaker iNOS reactions were detected in mucous cells of epithelim of ethanol administrated rat compared with normal and FWPL-administrated rat. These results suggested that FWPL-administrated rat showed a trace changes on the mucus barrier-related protein expression compared with ethanol-administrated rat and thus FWPL may be use to develop a functional alcoholic beverage.

The ingestion of corrosive substances often leads to severe morbidity and mortality. Acids produce coagulation necrosis with a lesser degree of penetration, whereas alkalis produce liquefactive necrosis with penetration. Acetic acid is a clear, colorless organic acid with a pungent, vinegar-like odor. The ingestion of highly concentrated acetic acid (glacial acetic acid) may cause a range of complications. On the other hand, perforation of the stomach is extremely rare but it has a high mortality rate. This paper reports a case of perforation of the stomach after the ingestion of glacial acetic acid with suicidal intent in an otherwise healthy 76-year-old woman.

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of ChondroT in indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury rat model. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to intact, control Joins, Celebrex, ChondroT50 and ChondroT200. Indomethacin (25 mg/kg) was used to induce damage to the gastric mucosal injury. ChondroT was administered by orally to inhibit the indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury. At the end of the experiment, pH level in stomach, stomach contents volume, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) level, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, erythrocytes, and thrombocytes were measured. Ophthalmologic and histopathological examination was also analyzed. Results pH level in stomach and Stomach contents volume had no difference between Control, PC-Joins, PC-Cele, ChondroT50 and ChondroT200 group. TNF-α level was decreased in PC-Joins, PC-Cele, ChondroT50 and ChondroT200 group and there were no significant difference. IL-1β level was decreased in PC-Joins group and ChondroT200 group compared to control group. PGE2 level had no significant difference between Control, PC-Joins, PC-Cele, ChondroT50 and ChondroT200 group. MPO level and complete blood count level were decreased in PC-Joins, PC-Cele, ChondroT50 and ChondroT200. Symptom score of ophthalmologic examination was decreased in ChondroT50 and ChondroT200 group compared to control group. Conclusion Based on these results, It could be suggested that ChondroT was effective in reducing damage to the gastric mucosal injury. And further study is needed to conduct a rigorous clinical research.

This was performed to investigate the antiulcer effects of Aloe vera on the stomach ulcer induced by restraint and water-immersion stress in rats. For this experiment, 60 male Sprague-Dawley strain were used. The experimental groups were divided into five: a control(CA) and 4 aloe treatment groups. Each dose of aloe was 50 mg/kg BW(AA), 100mg/kg BW(AB), 200 mg/kg BW(AC), and 400 mg/kg BW(AD). The rats were allocated to each group by 12 and observed for 4 weeks. The results are as following. 1. The stomach surface pH in each group showed no significant difference, byt the values of aloe treatment groups were higher than the value of the control group. 2. The gastric wall mucus was significantly increased in all aloe treatment groups(p<0.05) compared with the control group. Especially in AC and AD group the differences were higher(p<0.01). 3. At shear rate rate 11.25, 45.0, 90.0, 225.0 sec-1, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were measured. Most of the values of aloe treatment groups were significantly low compared with those of the control group(P<0.05). 4. The ulcer index of aloe treatment groups were significantly low campared with control group(p<0.05). Especially in AC and AD group the differences were more significant(p<0.01). 5. Less severe ulcers were observed in AA and AB group than in the control group. Tissues of AC and AD group had only slight ulcers and necrosis of tissue was not observed in these groups. Especially in AD group, there was more mucus than other groups and it seemed that alove vera stimulated the epithelial regeneration. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the oral administration of Alove vera results in protection of stomach ulcer by stimulating the secretion of gastric mucus and the circulation of blood.

Objectives : Ganoderma lucidum(Ganoderma or lingzhi, 靈芝) is a well-known oriental medical mushroom containing many bioactive compounds. The possible mechanisms involved in its effects on cancer cells remain to be elucidated. In the present study, the anti-proliferative and apoptotic activities of the G. lucidum ethanol extract(GEE), in AGS human gastric cancer cells were investigated. Methods : It was found that exposure of AGS cells to GEE resulted in the growth inhibition in a dose and time dependent manner as measured by trypan blue count and MTT assay. The anti-proliferative effect of GEE treatment in AGS cells was associated with morphological changes and formation of apoptotic bodies, and the flow cytometry analysis confirmed that GEE treatment increased the populations of apoptotic-sub G1 phase. Growth inhibition and apoptosis of AGS cells by GEE were connected with a concentration and time-dependent up-regulation of tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) expression. Results : The levels of XIAP and survivin expression, members of IAP family proteins, were gradually down-regulated by GEE treatment. However other members of IAP family proteins such as cIAP-1 and cIAP-2 remained unchanged in GEE-treated AGS cells. GEE treatment also induced the proteolytic activation of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 and a concomitant degradation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) protein, a caspase-3 substrate protein. Additionally, GEE-induced apoptosis was associated with the inhibition of Akt activation in a concentration and time-dependent manner, and pre-treatment with LY294002, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/Akt inhibitor, significantly increased GEE-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis. Conclusions : Therefore, G. lucidum has a strong potential as a therapeutic agent for preventing cancers such as gastric cancer cells.

This study examined whether or not a pretreatment with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has an effect on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal damage. The DHEA group, male Sprague-Dawley rats, was administrated with DHEA orally at a dose of 4 mg/day for one week before inducing gastritis with indomethacin (50 mg/kg, p.o.). Histological assay, lipid peroxidation assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and Catalase activities were determined. Interestingly, it was found that the DHEA pretreatment attenuated the gastric lesion area induced by indomethacin. Rather, the pretreatment with high dose of DHEA led to submucosal edema, leukocyte infiltration in submucosa and mucosal necrosis. The levels of MDA in the DHEA pretreatment were also higher than those in the rats given with vehicle pretreatment. This suggests that the DHEA pretreatment deteriorates severe inflammation in indomethacin-induced gastritis. DHEA supplementation significantly increased SOD activity in the gastric mucosa. However, the catalase and GPx activities were not altered by DHEA. The co-administration of DHEA with an indomethacin might not offer a protective effect against the acute gastritis induced by indomethacin.

Objectives : The objective of this study was to evaluate the gastric protective effect of Curcuma Longae Rhizoma (CLR) in 150 mM HCl/60% ethanol induced gastric ulcer (GU) in mice. Methods : Forty ICR mice were divided into five groups (n=8/Group): Nor group; Normal, Veh group; GU control, SC group; GU + sucralfate 10 mg/kg, CL; GU + CLR 30% ethanol extract 100 mg/kg, CH group; GU + CLR 30% ethanol extract 200 mg/kg. Then, mice were orally administered with 150 mM HCl/60% ethanol and caused GU. After 1 hr, mice were sacrificed, and blood and stomach tissue were collected. Results : CLR showed significance scavenging effects in 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities (DPPH IC₅₀; 78.18 ± 0.60 ㎍/㎖, ABTS IC₅₀; 55.91 ± 1.86 ㎍/㎖). CLR significance reduce inflammatory-related factors such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) via nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inactivation. In addition, the activation of nuclear factor erythroid2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) significantly led to up-regulation of anti-oxidant enzymes including factors heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), super oxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase-1/2 (GPx-1/2). Conclusions : Our discovery provides that CLR possesses anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Hence, CLR may ameliorate the development of gastric ulcer though the inhibition of NF-κB inflammatory pathway and the elevation of Nrf2 anti-oxidant pathway.

본 연구에서는 알코올을 이용하여 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델을 확립하고 설정된 동물모델을 대상으로 비타민 E 투여 수준(결핍 0 mg/mL oil/day, 정상 1 mg/mL oil/day, 보충 10 mg/mL oil/day)에 따른 위궤양 치유효과를 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 비타민 E를 투여시킨 기간은 총 7일로서 위의 조직학적 검사, 혈청의 gastrin 농도, 위 조직의 histamine 농도, 위 조직 내의 항산화 효소인 GPx 활성도와 catalase 농도 및 MPO 활성도를 측정하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 만성군에서 식이섭취량과 15% 에탄올 식수섭취량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 체중증가량은 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 급성군에 비해 만성군에서 위 무게가 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 급성군에서 다량의 출혈과 선상의 괴사가 나타났으며 비타민 E 결핍군 또한 약간의 출혈과 선상의 궤양이 남아있었으나 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군의 경우 출혈이나 궤양은 관찰되지 않았다. 혈청 gastrin의 경우 비타민 E 결핍군에서 유의적으로 높았으며 비타민 E 투여수준에 따라 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 또한 위 조직에서 histamine 농도는 급성군보다 만성군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만 만성군에서 비타민 E의 투여수준에 따른 histamine 농도의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 위 조직에서의 MDA 농도는 비타민 E 결핍군과 정상군에 비해 보충군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며 급성과 만성유도에 따른 MDA 농도 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 대표적인 항산화 효소인 GPx와 catalase의 경우 비타민 E 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 위 조직에서의 MPO 활성도는 비타민 E 결핍군에 비해 정상군과 보충군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 알코올로 유도한 만성위궤양 실험동물 모델에서 비타민 E의 보충은 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 비타민 E 보충은 혈청 gastrin 농도를 감소시켜 위에서의 산 분비를 감소시키며 또한 위 조직 내의 MPO 활성도를 감소시켜 proinflammatory cytokine을 방출을 억제시키고 결과적으로 위 세포내로의 호중구 침투를 감소시켜 위궤양 치유과정을 촉진시키는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 비타민 E의 결핍상태보다 비타민 E를 보충하였을 때 빠른 위궤양 치유효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 평소 권장량을 충족시킬 수 있는 비타민 E의 충분한 식이섭취가 중요하다고 생각한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Acanthopanax senticosus extracts(ASE) on alcohol administered mice. The administration of Acanthopanax senticosus extracts(60 mg/kg) had beneficial actions toward alcohol degradation in acute alcohol treated mice. In the acute alcohol degradation experiment, serum alcohol concentration were lower 3 and 6 hours after taking ethanol(5 g/kg) in ASE treated mice. The oral administration of ASE showed decreased gastric mucous membrane damage produced in ethanol treated mice. In addition, intraperitoneal(i.p.) administration of ASE showed antiinflammatory effects in inhibition tests of vascular permeability produced by acetic acid. ASE also reduced concentrations of nitric oxide(NO), tumor necrosis alpha(TNF)-${\alpha}$ and interleukin(IL)-6 in macrophages that were activated by LPS. These results demonstrate that Acanthopanax senticosus extracts possesses the potential to stimulate alcohol degradation and inhibit inflammatory effects in mice.
