Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesions of mice. Methods: To evaluate the effects of Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract and Misoprostol, the morphology of gastric mucosa, and the distribution of mucose cells, PNA(Peanut Agglutinin), ICAM(intercellular adhesion molecule), and apoptotic cells were observed. Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract and Misoprostol were intragastric injected to the test groups at hour 72 before and just before indomethacin treatment(HYT-J, HYT-72, M-J, M-72), while the INDO group was injected only with indomethacin and the control group was subcutaneously injected only with saline. Results: The gastric mucosal lesions incresed in the fundus and body of INDO group, but softened in HYT group and M group, the effects were more excellent in the HYT-72, M-72 groups than the HYT-J, M-J groups and in the HYT group than M group. The disappearance of surface and neck mucose cells were shown in INDO group, but softened in HYT group and M group. The mucosal configuration of HYT-72 group was the same as control group. The numerical increase of PNA positive reaction in cytoplasm of perietal cells were appeared in INDO group. The PNA positive reaction in HYT group and Miso-group were shown in surface mucous cells and microvilli of apical surface in chief cells as control group, and were the same as control group in all mucosa of HYT-72 group. The distribution of ICAM positive cells, increased in INDO group, but decreased in M-72 group, and were the same as control group in HYT-72 group. The apoptotic cells, increased noticeably in gastric mucosa of INDO group, decreased in HYT group and M group, and decreased noticeably in HYT-72 group. Conclusions: Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract had excellent effects on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesions.
This study was designed to observe the effect of green tea on colon tumor incidence and biomarkers of colon carcinogenesis in 1, 2-dimethlhydrazine-treated rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats at 7 weeks of age were divided into two groups: control and green tea(GT) groups. Control rats had distilled water as drinking water but GT group received green tea extracts(2.5%, w/v water) as drinking water throughout the experiment periods. All rats were fed the experimental diet containing 15% fat by weight for 20 weeks. and were i.m. injected with DMH for 6 weeks to give total dose of 180mg/kg body weight. Tumor incidence was reduced in GT group (39%) compared with control group (56%) Green tea significantly reduced cell proliferation (total cells per crypt, crypt length and proliferative zone) in colonic mucosa and also significantly reduced the levels of preformed prostalandin E2(PGE2) and thromboxance B2(TXB2) in colonic mucosa but the fatty acid profile of total lipid in colonic mucosa was not significantly influenced by green tea. However the relative percent of C20:4 and the levels f preformed PGE2 and TXB2. were significantly higher in tumor tissue compared with normal surrounding mucosa.Green tea increased the fecal excretion of total bile acid but not scondary bile acid which is known as one of promoters for colon cancer,. These results suggest that green tea could have preventive effect against colon cancer when consumed daily by influencing on antioxidant effect and the metabolism of arachidonic acid.
Objectives : This study was to investigate the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of Lonicera japonica water extracts (LE) on Ulcerative Colitis Induced by DSS (Dextran Sulfate Sodium) in Mice. Methods : Colitis was induced by DSS in Balb/c mice. The sample group was divided into three. The mice in control group were not inflammation-induced. The pathological group was composed of untreated colitis elicited mice. The experimental group was administered Lonicera japonica water extracts (LE) after colitis elicitation. The effects on ulcerative colitis were evaluated the anti-oxidant effect, inhibition of COX-2 mRNA expression, the morphological change of colonic mucosa, decrease effect of HSP 70 and COX-2 in mucosa. Results : The SOD ability of LE was dose-dependently increased and the LPS-induced COX-2 mRNA expression of LE was dose-dependently decreased. LE showed the protective effects on DSS-induced experimental colitis. LE inhibited shortening of colon length, the hemorrhagic erosion in colonic mucosa. LE also showed the decrease effect for HSP70 and COX-2 in mucosa. Conclusions : The current results demonstrate the clinical utility of LE in traditional medicine and indicate the possible treatments for ulcerative colitis from natural products. Further investigations for exact mechanisms will be needed.
Present study aimed to investigate the effect of curcumin-pretreatment on intestinal I/R injury and on intestinal mucosa barrier. Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into: sham, I/R, and curcumin groups (n=10). Animals in curcumin group were pretreated with curcumin by gastric gavage (200 mg/kg) for 2 days before I/R. Small intestine tissues were prepared for Haematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining. Serum diamine oxidase (DAO) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ levels were measured. Expression of intestinal TNF-${\alpha}$ and tight junction protein (ZO-1) proteins was detected by Western blot and/or immunohistochemistry. Serum DAO level and serum and intestinal TNF-${\alpha}$ leves were significantly increased after I/R, and the values were markedly reduced by curcumin pretreatment although still higher than that of sham group (p<0.05 or p<0.001). H&E staining showed the significant injury to intestinal mucosa following I/R, and curcumin pretreatment significantly improved the histological structure of intestinal mucosa. I/R insult also induced significantly down-regulated expression of ZO-1, and the effect was dramatically attenuated by curcumin-pretreatment. Curcumin may protect the intestine from I/R injury through restoration of the epithelial structure, promotion of the recovery of intestinal permeability, as well as enhancement of ZO-1 protein expression, and this effect may be partly attributed to the TNF-${\alpha}$ related pathway.
Purpose: Endoscopic diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) that emerges after eradication of Helicobacter pylori may be affected by unique morphological changes. Using comprehensive endoscopic imaging, which can reveal biological alterations in gastric mucosa after eradication, previous studies demonstrated that Congo red chromoendoscopy (CRE) might clearly show an acid non-secretory area (ANA) with malignant potential, while autofluorescence imaging (AFI) without drug injection or dyeing may achieve early detection or prediction of GC. We aimed to determine whether AFI might be an alternative to CRE for identification of high-risk areas of gastric carcinogenesis after eradication. Materials and Methods: We included 27 sequential patients with metachronous GC detected during endoscopic surveillance for a mean of 82.8 months after curative endoscopic resection for primary GC and eradication. After their H. pylori infection status was evaluated by clinical interviews and $^{13}C$-urea breath tests, the consistency in the extension of corpus atrophy (e.g., open-type or closed-type atrophy) between AFI and CRE was investigated as a primary endpoint. Results: Inconsistencies in atrophic extension between AFI and CRE were observed in 6 of 27 patients, although CRE revealed all GC cases in the ANA. Interobserver and intraobserver agreements in the evaluation of atrophic extension by AFI were significantly less than those for CRE. Conclusions: We demonstrated that AFI findings might be less reliable for the evaluation of gastric mucosa with malignant potential after eradication than CRE findings. Therefore, special attention should be paid when we clinically evaluate AFI findings of background gastric mucosa after eradication (University Hospital Medical Information Network Center registration number: UMIN000020849).

The nasal cavity encounters various irritants during inhalation such as dust and pathogens. To detect and remove these irritants, it has been postulated that the nasal mucosa epithelium has a specialized sensing system. The oral cavity, on the other hand, is known to have bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) that can detect harmful substances to prevent ingestion. Recently, solitary chemosensory cells expressing T2R subtypes have been found in the respiratory epithelium of rodents. In addition, T2Rs have been identified in the human airway epithelia. However, it is not clear which T2Rs are expressed in the human nasal mucosa epithelium and whether they mediate the removal of foreign materials through increased cilia movement. In our current study, we show that human T2R receptors indeed function also in the nasal mucosa epithelium. Our RT-PCR data indicate that the T2R subtypes (T2R3, T2R4, T2R5, T2R10, T2R13, T2R14, T2R39, T2R43, T2R44, T2R 45, T2R46, T2R47, T2R48, T2R49, and T2R50) are expressed in human nasal mucosa. Furthermore, we have found that T2R receptor activators such as bitter chemicals augments the ciliary beating frequency. Our results thus demonstrate that T2Rs are likely to function in the cleanup of inhaled dust and pathogens by increasing ciliary movement. This would suggest that T2Rs are feasible molecular targets for the development of novel treatment strategies for nasal infection and inflammation.
This research was to find out the protective and healing effects of both the Jiguyangwi-tang and the Gamijiguyangwi-tang on the gastric mucosa injuries by cyclophosphamide. At first, Jiguyangwi-tang and Gamijiguyangwi-tang extract were administered to the mice before one week, and then integral administration of those two drugs(each herbal extract and cyclophosphamide) were followed for another one week, respectively. After finishing those treatments, I have examined the state of the both ulcer and inflammation on the damaged gastric mucosa cell and watched the level of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), Bcl-2, and apoptosis. These results were as follows, 1. Gastric mucosa inflammation have more significantly reduced in groups of integral administration of Jiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide, Gamijiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide and cyclophosphamide then in group of single cyclophosphamide. 2. Gastric ulcer have been reduced in groups of integral administration of Jiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide, Gamijiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide and cyclophosphamide then in group of single cyclophosphamide. But the significance have not shown. 3. PCNA level have more significantly elevated in integral administration of Jiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide and Gamijiguyangwi-tang plus cyclophosphamide and cyclophosphamide then in group of single cyclophosphamide. 4. The significance of both apoptosis induction and bcl-2level have not noticed among all groups. 5. Between Jiguyangwi-tang and Gamijiguyangwi-tang, the differance of effect was not admitted in statistically From these results, it is suggested that Jiguyangwi-tang and Gamijiguyangwi-tang are useful medicines in protecting gastric inflammation and ulcer, that is gastrointestinal side-effect of cyclophosphamide. The preventing effect of Jiguyangwi-tang and Gamijiguyangwi-tang may be through the 'affecting the period of cell division', but not the inhibition of apoptosis.
Objectives : To investigate the effects of Ohbaesangami (OBSGM) on mucosa and skin diseases, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory tests were performed using several in vitro test models. Results : In anti-microbial test, OBSGM showed the slight inhibitory effect against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In anti-oxidant test, OBSGM showed the potent radical scavenging activity. In anti-inflammatory test, OBSGM weakly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide(NO) release from the RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. OBSGM also inhibited the LPS-induced $interleukin-1{\beta}(IL-1{\beta})$ and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expressions. The inhibitory effects of OBSGM on macrophage activation was via the inhibition of $NF-{\kappa}B$, evidenced by transient transfection assay. Furthermore, OBSGM markedly inhibited the activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase in RAW 264.7 cells. In skin wrinkle formation assay, OBSGM strongly inhibited collagnease and elastase, whose activities are tightly related with the wrinkle formation. In addition, OBSGM inhibited the activities of MMP-1, MMP-2 on the mRNA levels in RAW 264.7 cells. However, OBSGM did not show an inhibitory potential on tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis, indicating that it could not be applicable for skin whitening. Conclusion : These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of OBSGM may be due to its inhibitory potentials on the macrophage activation. And, the anti-wrinkle effects of OBSGM may be due to its inhibitory potential on the collagnease and elastase activities. Therefore, OBSGM could be applicable for the treatment of mucosa and skin diseases.
Purpose : The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of chelating and deproteinizing agent containing dental conditioning gel on alleviation of peri-implant mucosa inflammation. Methods: 36 patients with functionally loaded implants for at least 1 year and have clinical signs of peri-implant mucositis were recruited. At baseline, all implants received subgingival prophylaxis with ultrasonic scaler. In the test group, patients were provided a chelating and deproteinizing agent dental conditioning gel (Clinplant$^{(R)}$) and were given instructions to applicate it around the implants using an interdental brush for 2 weeks. Chlorhexidine and saline were provided to the positive control group and negative control group, respectively. The modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), modified plaque index (mPI), and probing pocket depth (PPD) were evaluated at baseline, 1 week, and 2 weeks. Results: In the Clinplant$^{(R)}$ and chlorhexidine group, mSBI (-0.81, -0.85 respectively; p<0.01), mPI (-0.46, -0.5 respectively; p<0.01), and PPD (-0.58, -0.48 respectively; p<0.01) at 2 weeks were significantly reduced from baseline. In the saline group, all the clinical parameters were reduced but there was no statistical significance. The saline may be attributed to the influence of prophylaxis at baseline. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated the beneficial clinical effects of chelating and deproteinizing agent containing dental conditioning gel to decrease peri-implant mucosa inflammation equivalent to chlorhexidine. This dental conditioning gel might be useful for alleviation of peri-implant mucosa inflammation.
Background: Helicobacter pylori is now recognized as a causative factor of chronic gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue lymphoma. Toll-like receptors are important bacterial receptors in gastric epithelial cell signaling transduction and play critical roles in gastric carcinogenesis. Materials and Methods: A total of 400 patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy for investigation of chronic abdominal pain were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR1 (rs4833095) using TagMan SNPs genotyping assay by real-time PCR hybridization. Relationships with susceptibility to H. pylori infection and pre-malignant gastric mucosa morphological patterns, classified by magnifying NBI endoscopy, were investigated. Results: The percentages of TLR1 rs4833095, CC homozygous, CT heterozygous and TT homozygous cases were 34, 46.5 and 19%, respectively. CC showed statistical differences between H. pylori positive and negative cases (P<0.001). CT and TT correlated with type 1 and type 2 gastric mucosal morphological patterns (P <0.01) whereas CC correlated with types 3 and 4 (P<0.01). Conclusions: This study demonstrated good correlation of TLR1 rs4833095 genotype with severity of inflammation in H. pylori infected gastric mucosa according to gastric mucosal morphologic patterns with magnifying NBI endoscopy.
