Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effects of a traditional Korean treatment on the symptom improvement and loss of bile juice in cases of functional dyspepsia of gastric dysmotility complicated by bile juice reflux. Methods: Dyspeptic symptoms, gastric motility (electrogastrography and bowel sound analysis), and gastric mucosa (gastroendoscopy) were evaluated. The treatment consisted of Banwhasashim-tang (extract) used as a herbal drug. Both ST36 electrical stimulation and simple immersion stimulation of CV11, 12, and 13 in the abdomen were also applied. Results: Dyspeptic symptoms, including a foreign body sensation in the throat, indigestion, and upper abdominal pain, were all relieved by the treatment and gastric myoelectrical activity and gastric pyloric function were improved. Bile juice disappeared from the gastric mucosa. Conclusion: The traditional Korean treatment was effective at relieving dyspeptic symptoms and bile juice reflux by improving the pyloric sphincter function.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of partial pyloric obstruction on body weight, gastric juice, gastric surface area and gastric edema in normal intact and/or vagotomized rats. Methods : Partial pyloric obstruction was performed by wrapping a non-absorbable rubber ring (D:6 mm, W:4 mm, T:1 mm) around the 1st portion of the duodenum. Vagotomy was performed by resecting the branches around the esophagogastric junction. Pre-post body weight differential, fasting gastric juice volume, gastric surface area and gastric edema were measured at 8 weeks and 20 weeks. For the effect of pyloric reperfusion the rubber ring was removed after 8 weeks and then an additional 12 weeks of observation was performed to the end of the 20-week experimental period. Results : In the initial 8 weeks observation, the effect of pylorus obstruction and/or vagotomy was significantly remarkable in the pylorus obstructed and vagotomized group; slowdown of weight gain, increase of fasting gastric juice volume, dilatation of gastric surface area and severe gastric edema were shown. In the remaining 12 weeks observation, the effect of reperfusion was significantly remarkable in the ring-removed antral dilated group; recovery of weight gain, decrease of gastric surface area and decrease of gastric edema were shown. However, gastric juice volume was not significantly different from the other group. Conclusions : Partial pyloric obstruction plays a aggravating role and the vagus nerve plays a protective role in body weight, gastric juice, gastric surface area, and gastric edema. Furthermore, pyloric valve dysfunction as an aggravating factor strengthened in defect of the vagus nerve. These results suggest that patients with both functional pyloric outlet obstruction and hypofunction of vagus nerve need to be diagnosed in good time and treated properly.

Circulatory miR-133a is a marker shared by several types of cancer. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of using miR-133a levels in gastric juice to screen for gastric cancer. A total of 204 samples of gastric juice and mucosa from gastric cancer, atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, superficial gastritis and healthy cases were collected by gastroscopy. The results showed that miR-133a levels in gastric juice and carcinoma tissues of patients with gastric cancer were significantly downregulated and positively correlated. Moreover, miR-133a in gastric juice has high operability, high reliability, high sensitivity, high specificity and relative stability, fit for clinical diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Gastroesophageal reflux is thought to be an important etiology of the various upper aerodigestive tract disease. To investigate the role of gastric acid and pepsin as an etiologic factor of laryngotracheal stenosis, and the difference of injury by synthetic gastric juice between in ciliated respiratory epithelium and in squamous epithelium, experimental study was carried out using rabbits. Mucociliary transport affected by synthetic gastric juice was also studied in dogs. Synthetic gastric juice of low pH caused serious damage and Impairment of mucociliary transport in the epithelium of the larynx and trachea. Gastric acid played major role in the mucosal damage. Squamous epithelium of vocal folds and pharynx was more resistant to synthetic gastric juice than respiratory epitheium. In conclusion, gastroesophageal reflux may be an etiologic factor in the developement of laryngotracheal stenosis, so the adequate management is necessory In patients of laryngotracheal stenosis.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Garlic Jug A Jii, a popular processed food for Korean was given of HCI-ethanol in rats as experimental Model. Oral administration HCI-ethanol to fasted rats produced extensive necrosis in the gastric mucosa. Pretreatment with garlic juice and 3 week stored Garlic Jang A Jii juice prevented such necrosis and the effects were dose-dependent. The effects of garlic Jang A Jii juice comparing with raw garlic juice were reduced but statiscally significant differences were not found. 5 week-stored Garlic Jang A Jii was inhibited the formation of gastric mucosal injury. Comparing with garlic Jug A Jii for 3 weeks, while garlic Jang A Jii juice and 1 : 10 diluted garlic Jang A Jii juice did not show significant shifts but the effects of 1 100 diluted garlic Jang A Jii was decreased. Oral administration of disulfide prevented the gastric mucosa injury whereas sulfhydryl blockers such as N-ethylmaleimie and indomethacin was decreased on gastric mucosa protective effect. The content of diallyl disulfide was 1.41mg% in raw garlic, 0.96mg% in garlic Jang A Jii for 3 weeks. The content of diallyl disulfide was gradually reduced according to the elapse of storage period.

This studies were carried out to investigate the physiological characteristics of lactic acid bacteria related to kimchi fermentation. 157 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from home-made kimchi of Taegu district. 144 strains of isolated lactic bacteria showed resistance to artifical gastric juice and bile. Among isolated strains, fifteen strains were selected according to the growth characteristics. The selected strains survived for 24 hours in artifical bile after incubation for 3 hours in artificial gastric jucie (pH 2.5). Especially, three strains such as B-10, K-2, and F-3, showed little viable cell change for 3 hrs incubation in artifical gastric juice. The selected strains showed low viability in artificial gastric juice but high in artifical bile. The selected strains also showed significantly antimicrobial activities to pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtili, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The fifteen selected strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sake and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of medial amygdala on the gastric acid secretion and plasma gastrin concentration in the rats with chronic gastric fistula. After the medial nucleus of amygdala was damaged bilaterally by radiofrequency a. c. through stereotaxically inserted electrodes, the gastric juice was collected in the basal and histamine-stimulated states for 1 hour. The gastric juice was also collected while the medial nucleus of amygdala was stimulated with biphasic square wave in the both states. After the collection of the gastric juice, blood samples were drawn from the abdominal aorta for the radioimmunoassay of plasma gastrin. The results were as follows: 1) The damage of the medial amygdala significantly decreased the gastric juice volume and the acid output in the histamine-stimulated state. 2) The electrical stimulation of the medial amygdala significantly increased the gastric juice volume and the acid output in the histamine-stimulated state, and the acid output in the basal state. 3) The damage of the medial amygdala significantly decreased the plasma gastrin concentration but the electrical stimulation of the medial amygdala did not affect the plasma gastrin concentration. It is therefore suggested that the medial amygdala has a facilitatory influence on the histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats, and the influence may not be attributed to gastrin release.

Effect of pre-treatment with hot water extract of marine brown alga Sargassum polycystum C.Ag. (100 mg/kg body wt, orally for period of 15 days) on HCI-ethanol (150 mM of HCI-etha-not mixture containing 0.15 N HCI in $70\%$ v/v ethanol given orally) induced gastric mucosal injury in rats was examined with respect to lipid peroxides, antioxidant enzyme status, acid/pepsin and glycoproteins in the gastric mucosa. The levels of lipid peroxides of gastric mucosa and volume, acidity of the gastric juice were increased with decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes and glycoproteins were observed in HCI-ethanol induced rats. The rats pre-treated with seaweed extract prior to HCI-ethanol induction reversed the depleted levels of antioxidant enzymes and reduced the elevated levels of lipid peroxides when compared with HCI-ethanol induced rats. The levels of glycoproteins and alterations in the gastric juice were also maintained at near normal levels in rats pre-treated with seaweed extract. The rats given seaweed extract alone did not show any toxicity, which was confirmed by histopathological studies. These results suggest that the seaweed extract contains some anti-ulcer agents, which may maintain the volume/acidity of gastric juice and improve the gastric mucosa antioxidant defense system against HCI-ethanol induced gastric mucosal injury in rats.
