Effect of paracetamol (acetaminophen) on gastric ionic fluxes and potential difference in man. (1/4985)

Paracetamol has replaced aspirin as the analgesic of choice in many situations. The major reason is the damaging effect of aspirin on gastric mucosa. Alterations in gastric ionic fluxes and potential difference provide measures of aspirin-induced structural damage. We studied the effect of large doses of paracetamol (acetaminophen 2-0 g) on gastric ionic fluxes in man. In addition, the effect of 2-0 g paracetamol on gastric potential difference was compared with that of 600 mg aspirin. In contrast with salicylates, paracetamol caused no significant alteration in movement of H+ and Na+ ions over control periods. Aspirin causes a significant fall in transmucosal potential difference (PD) across gastric mucosa of 15 mv, while paracetamol cuased no significant change. Paracetamol in a dose four times that recommended does not alter gastric ionic fluxes or potential difference. These studies support choice of paracetamol as analgesic over aspirin where damage to gastric mucosa may be critical.  (+info)

Chemokine mRNA expression in gastric mucosa is associated with Helicobacter pylori cagA positivity and severity of gastritis. (2/4985)

AIM: To investigate the association between the quantity of gastric chemokine mRNA expression, severity of gastritis, and cagA positivity in Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis. METHODS: In 83 dyspeptic patients, antral and corpus biopsies were taken for semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and histological grading of gastritis. Gastritis was evaluated by visual analogue scales. Quantities of chemokine (IL-8, GRO alpha, ENA-78, RANTES, MCP-1) RT-PCR products were compared with G3PDH products. Each sample was also evaluated for the presence of cagA and ureA mRNA by RT-PCR. RESULTS: mRNA expression of all five chemokines was significantly greater in H pylori positive than in H pylori negative mucosa. In H pylori positive patients, in the antrum C-X-C chemokine mRNA expression was significantly greater in cagA positive patients than in cagA negative patients, but there were no significant differences in C-C chemokine mRNA expression. In H pylori positive patients, chemokine mRNA expression in the corpus was less than in the antrum. In contrast to the antrum, only GRO alpha mRNA expression was significantly greater in cagA positive infection. Polymorphonuclear cell infiltration was correlated with C-X-C chemokine mRNA expression. Significant correlations were also found between bacterial density and C-X-C chemokine mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS: In H pylori infection, C-X-C chemokines may play a primary role in active gastritis. Infection with cagA positive H pylori induces greater gastric chemokine mRNA expression in the antral mucosa, which may be relevant to the increased mucosal damage associated with cagA positive H pylori infection.  (+info)

Precancerous lesions in two counties of China with contrasting gastric cancer risk. (3/4985)

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and shows remarkable geographical variation even within countries such as China. Linqu County in Shandong Province of northeast China has a GC rate that is 15 times higher than that of Cangshan County in Shandong, even though these counties are within 200 miles of each other. METHOD: In order to evaluate the frequency of precancerous gastric lesions in Linqu and Cangshan Counties we examined 3400 adults in Linqu County and 224 adults in Cangshan County. An endoscopic examination with four biopsies was performed in each individual of the two populations. RESULTS: The prevalence of intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia (DYS) was 30% and 15.1%, respectively, in Linqu compared to 7.9% and 5.6% in Cangshan (P < 0.01). Within these histological categories, advanced grades were found more often in Linqu than in Cangshan. The prevalences of IM and DYS were more common at each biopsy site in Linqu, where the lesions also tended to affect multiple sites. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study support the concept that IM and DYS are closely correlated with risks of GC and represent late stages in the multistep process of gastric carcinogenesis.  (+info)

Phenotypic and functional characterisation of myofibroblasts, macrophages, and lymphocytes migrating out of the human gastric lamina propria following the loss of epithelial cells. (4/4985)

BACKGROUND: The basement membrane of human colonic mucosa contains numerous discrete pores. We have recently shown that following loss of the surface epithelium, many cells migrate out of the colonic lamina propria via basement membrane pores. AIMS: To characterise cells migrating out via basement membrane pores of the human gastric lamina propria, following loss of the surface epithelium. METHODS: Fresh human gastric mucosal samples were completely denuded of epithelial cells and placed in culture. Tissue samples were studied by electron microscopy (EM) and cells by EM, FACS analysis, immunohistochemistry, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: EM showed numerous discrete pores (0. 65-8.29 microm in diameter) in the subepithelial basement membrane. During culture of mucosal samples denuded of epithelial cells, lymphocytes, macrophages, and myofibroblasts migrated out of the lamina propria via the basement membrane pores. The lymphocytes were predominantly CD45RO+ and CD69+ T cells. Macrophages were shown to express cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 and 2 enzymes. Myofibroblasts were established in culture and, despite prolonged culture and passage, retained their phenotype. They expressed mRNA and protein for COX 1 and 2 enzymes and their release of prostaglandin E2 was inhibited by selective COX 1 and 2 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: Lamina propria cells migrating out of cultured denuded gastric mucosal samples have been characterised phenotypically and functionally. Such cells would be suitable for studies of their interactions with epithelial cells and also with Helicobacter pylori and its products.  (+info)

The influence of KF-392 on gastric mucosal barrier was also studied. A back diffusion of H+ into the gastric mucosa and a fall of transmucosal potential difference were induced with KF-392 given orally at the above mentioned doses. KF-392 given s.c. at 5.0 mg/kg showed no inhibition of Shay ulcer and no induction of back diffusion of H+ into the gastric mucosa.  (+info)

Isosmotic modulation of Ca2+-regulated exocytosis in guinea-pig antral mucous cells: role of cell volume. (6/4985)

1. Exocytotic events and changes of cell volume in mucous cells from guinea-pig antrum were examined by video-enhanced optical microscopy. 2. Acetylcholine (ACh) evoked exocytotic events following cell shrinkage, the frequency and extent of which depended on the ACh concentration. ACh actions were mimicked by ionomycin and thapsigargin, and inhibited by Ca2+-free solution and Ca2+ channel blockers (Ni2+, Cd2+ and nifedipine). Application of 100 microM W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor, also inhibited the ACh-induced exocytotic events. These results indicate that ACh actions are mediated by intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in antral mucous cells. 3. The effects of ion channel blockers on exocytotic events and cell shrinkage evoked by ACh were examined. Inhibition of KCl release (quinine, Ba2+, NPPB or KCl solution) suppressed both the exocytotic events and cell shrinkage evoked by ACh. 4. Bumetanide (inhibition of NaCl entry) or Cl--free solution (increasing Cl- release and inhibition of NaCl entry) evoked exocytotic events following cell shrinkage in unstimulated antral mucous cells and caused further cell shrinkage and increases in the frequency of exocytotic events in ACh-stimulated cells. However, Cl--free solution did not evoke exocytotic events in unstimulated cells in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, although cell shrinkage occurred. 5. To examine the effects of cell volume on ACh-evoked exocytosis, the cell volume was altered by increasing the extracellular K+ concentration. The results showed that cell shrinkage increases the frequency of ACh-evoked exocytotic events and cell swelling decreases them. 6. Osmotic shrinkage or swelling caused the frequency of ACh-evoked exocytotic events to increase. This suggests that the effects of cell volume on ACh-evoked exocytosis under anisosmotic conditions may not be the same as those under isosmotic conditions. 7. In antral mucous cells, Ca2+-regulated exocytosis is modulated by cell shrinkage under isosmotic conditions.  (+info)

KRAS mutations predict progression of preneoplastic gastric lesions. (7/4985)

Eight hundred sixty-three subjects with atrophic gastritis were recruited to participate in an ongoing chemoprevention trial in Narino, Colombia. The participants were randomly assigned to intervention therapies, which included treatment to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection followed by daily dietary supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design. A series of biopsies of gastric mucosa were obtained according to a specified protocol from designated locations in the stomach for each participant at baseline (before intervention therapy) and at year three. A systematic sample of 160 participants was selected from each of the eight treatment combinations. DNA was isolated from each of these biopsies (n = 320), and the first exon of KRAS was amplified using PCR. Mutations in the KRAS gene were detected using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and confirmed by sequence analysis. Of all baseline biopsies, 14.4% (23 of 160) contained KRAS mutations. Among those participants with atrophic gastritis without metaplasia, 19.4% (6 of 25) contained KRAS mutations, indicating that mutation of this important gene is likely an early event in the etiology of gastric carcinoma. An important association was found between the presence of KRAS mutations in baseline biopsies and the progression of preneoplastic lesions. Only 14.6% (20 of 137) of participants without baseline KRAS mutations progressed from atrophic gastritis to intestinal metaplasia or from small intestinal metaplasia to colonic metaplasia; however, 39.1% (9 of 23) with baseline KRAS mutations progressed to a more advanced lesion after 3 years [univariate odds ratio (OR), 3.76 (P = 0.05); multivariate OR adjusted for treatment, 3.74 (P = 0.04)]. In addition, the specificity of the KRAS mutation predicted progression. For those participants with G-->T transversions at position 1 of codon 12 (GGT-->TGT), 19.4% (5 of 17) progressed (univariate OR, 2.4); however, 60.0% (3 of 5) of participants with G-->A transitions at position 1 of codon 12 (GGT-->AGT) progressed (univariate OR, 8.7; P = 0.004 using chi2 test).  (+info)

Quantitative assessment of gastric atrophy using the syntactic structure analysis. (8/4985)

AIM: To assess the topographical relation between gastric glands, using the minimum spanning tree (MST), to derive both a model of neighbourhood and quantitative representation of the tissue's architecture, to assess the characteristic features of gastric atrophy, and to assess the grades of gastric atrophy. METHODS: Haematoxylin and eosin stained sections from corporal and antral biopsy specimens (n = 139) from normal patients and from patients with nonatrophic gastritis and atrophic gastritis of grades 1, 2, and 3 (Sydney system) were assessed by image analysis system (Prodit 5.2) and 11 syntactic structure features were derived. These included both line and connectivity features. RESULTS: Syntactic structure analysis was correlated with the semiquantitative grading system of gastric atrophy. The study showed significant reductions in the number of points and the length of MST in both body and antrum. The standard deviation of the length of MST was significantly increased in all grades of atrophy. The connectivity to two glands was the highest and most affected by the increased grade of atrophy. The reciprocal values of the Wiener, Randic, and Balaban indices showed significant changes in the volume of gland, abnormality in the shape of glands, and changes in irregularity and branching of the glands in both types of gastric mucosa. There was a complete separation in the MST, connectivity, and index values between low grade and high grade gastric atrophy. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Gastric atrophy was characterised by loss of the gland, variation in the volume, reduction in the neighbourhood, irregularity in spacing, and abnormality in the shape of the glands. (2) Syntactic structure analysis significantly differentiated minor changes in gastric gland (low grade atrophy) from high grade atrophy of clinical significance. (3) Syntactic structure analysis is a simple, fast, and highly reproducible technique and appears a promising method for quantitative assessment of atrophy.  (+info)

TY - JOUR. T1 - Gastric mucosal barrier, drug induced acute erosive gastritis and stress ulcer. AU - Mann, Nirmal S. AU - Mann, Surinder K. PY - 1977. Y1 - 1977. N2 - Gastric mucin probably plays an insignificant role in the protection of gastric mucosa. The metabolic integrity of the mucosal cells is important in the maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier. Various drugs and stress break the gastric mucosal barrier, allowing increased back diffusion of hydrogen ions and causing gastric erosions, stress ulcers, and gastric bleeding. Presence of acid seems to be necessary for the occurrence of these lesions. Acute gastric mucosal lesions as a cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding are best diagnosed by fiberoptic endoscopy. Antacids may be effective in preventing these lesions.. AB - Gastric mucin probably plays an insignificant role in the protection of gastric mucosa. The metabolic integrity of the mucosal cells is important in the maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier. Various ...
Effects of zerumbone on chronic gastritis remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of the protective effect of zerumbone on the treatment of chronic gastritis in rats. The animal models of chronic gastritis in rats were established, and the surface damage of gastric mucosa was observed by gross anatomy; the changes of gastric mucosal tissue and surface morphology were observed by pathological sections of gastric mucosal tissues; the expressions of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) proteins of gastric mucosal tissues in each group were detected by western blot analysis; the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) as well as the contents of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in gastric mucosal tissues were detected by kits. The results indicated that zerumbone could significantly relieve red and swelling as well as erosion of the gastric mucosal tissues in rats with chronic gastritis; ...
GGA may induce transcriptional activation of HSP genes, and this novel action may increase gastric mucosal defense at conditions of stress.
Several studies indicate that naturally occurring antioxidants exert protective biochemical effects in a number of biological experimental systems. In particular, phenolic antioxidants, which are widely distributed in vegetable foods, are considered to play an important role in the prevention of oxidative damage in living systems.32 Because generation of ROS in the stomach greatly contributes to the damaging effect exerted by a number of ulcerogens,2-4 we sought to investigate whether APE prevented oxidative stress induced injury to cultured gastric mucous cells in vitro, under conditions independent of acid secretion or systemic factors, including blood flow.. Our data indicate that APE counteract the damaging effect of X-XO generated ROS in gastric epithelial cells and that this protective effect seems to be mainly attributable to the major components of APE (that is, CAT and CA). This effect is associated with permeation of gastric cells by apple phenolic compounds and seems to be due to ...
The human stomach normally contains high levels of bioactive nitric oxide (NO). This NO derives from salivary nitrate (NO3-) that is converted to nitrite (NO2-) by oral bacteria and thereafter non-enzymatically reduced in the acidic gastric lumen to NO. Nitrate is a common component in vegetables, and after ingestion it is absorbed in the small intestine. Interestingly, circulating nitrate is then concentrated by the salivary glands. Hence, intake of nitrate-rich vegetables results in high levels of NO in the stomach. The physiological effects of the high concentration of NO gas normally present in the gastric lumen have been hitherto unknown, and the present investigations were therefore conducted to address this issue.. NO produced in the gastric lumen after nitrate ingestion increased gastric mucosal blood flow and the thickness of the firmly adherent mucus layer in the stomach. The blood flow and mucus layer are essential defense mechanisms that protect the mucosa from luminal acid and ...
The purpose of this investigation was to study cell proliferation kinetics in human gastric mucosa. Biopsies were taken from the antral and fundic part of the stomach through a fibre-gastroscope and incubated in culture medium containing a DNA-precursor (3-H-thymidine). Autoradiographs were prepared by the dipping technique. The number of labelled cells and the total number of cells in all cross sections of foveolae containing one or more labelled cells were counted. The labelling index (LI), which is defined as the percentage of labelled cells in the progenitor cell region, was estimated. When only cross sections with labelled cells are taken into consideration, the labelling index will be a little overestimated. In order to reduce this error a formula for correction was worked out. Thirty-six patients with different gastric diseases were studied. The observer error was minimal, and the results were highly reproducible. It was not possible to demonstrate any correlation between the labelling ...
The gastric mucosa is constantly exposed to conditions that would normally be damaging to living cells. A complex defensive system has evolved that involves multiple mechanisms arranged in a laminar fashion, that as a whole constitute the gastric mucosal barrier to acid. As antisecretory therapy becomes perfected, more attention has been focused on these defensive components of the gastric mucosal barrier in disease. Recently, our laboratory has developed a means of measuring intracellular pH (pH,sub,i,/sub,), mucosal blood flow, acid secretion, surface cell acidification rate, and acid secretion simultaneously ,i,in vivo,/i,. This system has enabled our laboratory to explore how the different components of the gastric mucosal barrier interact so as to protect the pH,sub,i,/sub, of the surface cells under a variety of conditions. Analysis of these studies has revealed a significant inverse correlation between the initial fall in pH; of surface cells during luminal acid exposure and the thickness ...

In rats, the CCK secretagogues oleate and soybean trypsin inhibitor augmented gastric mucosal blood flow and prevented gastric injury from luminal irritants. Type A CCK receptor blockade negated CCK secretagogue-induced gastroprotection and exacerbated gastric injury from bile and ethanol but did not block adaptive cytoprotection. CCK secretagogue-induced gastroprotection and hyperemia were negated by nonselective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition (nG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester) but not by selective inducible NOS inhibition (aminoguanidine). Gastric mucosal ...
Stomach mucosa. Light micrograph (bottom left) and computer illustration (top right) of the lining of the stomach, known as the mucosa. The stomach is a muscular sac involved in storage and digestion of food. The surface of the mucosa consists of simple columnar cells (dark purple in micrograph) that secrete mucus. The mucus protects the stomach lining from digestive acids and enzymes that act on food in the stomach. Beneath the columnar cells are gastric pits, the glands that make the acids and enzymes needed to digest food. - Stock Image F016/8749
The balance of protective and aggressive factors in the gastric mucosal barrier is an important consideration in gastrointestinal diseases (4). Gastric acid, pepsin, and external stimuli are known aggravating factors of gastric mucosal cells, while microcirculatory system, HCO3−, prostaglandins, epidermal growth factor synthesis, and epithelial cell reconstitution are gastro-protective factors that maintain integrity of the gastric mucosal layer. Obviously, there are several viewpoints in association with the effect of ethanol on gastric mucosal cells. However, the main pathogenesis of ethanol-induced gastritis is vascular damage followed by mucosal cell-hypoxia, -degeneration, and -necrosis, respectively. The decline of anti-oxidant level and over production of oxygen free radicals especially super-oxide and hydrogen peroxide, are also link to ethanol-induced gastric injury and play a crucial role to further induce gastric inflammatory response. In addition, ethanol itself destroys gastric ...
14-3-3ơ is an intracellular, phosphoserine binding protein and proposed to be involved in tumorigenesis. However, the expression dynamics of 14-3-3ơ and its clinicopathological/prognostic significance in human tumors are still controversial. The method of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot were utilized to examine the protein expression of 14-3-3ơ in gastric cancer and paired normal adjacent gastric mucosal tissues. Receive operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed to determine a cutoff score for 14-3-3ơ expression in a training set (n = 66). For validation, the ROC-derived cutoff score was subjected to analysis of the association of 14-3-3ơ expression with patient outcome and clinical characteristics in a testing set (n = 86) and overall patients (n = 152). The expression frequency and expression levels of 14-3-3ơ were significantly higher in gastric cancer than in normal gastric mucosal tissues. Correlation analysis demonstrated that high expression of 14-3-3ơ in

In this study, Albis (containing ranitidine, sucralfate, and bismuth) prevented the gastric mucosal injury provoked by long-term use of ASA. There was no development of peptic ulcer in either of the groups during the study period. This might be due to the study period being too short to allow peptic ulcer to develop by the use of low-dose ASA. However, gastric mucosal injury measured by the MLS developed, but was reduced by concomitant use of Albis. Although several studies have reported the efficacy of PPIs or H2RAs in the prevention of peptic ulcer and gastric mucosal injury caused by ASA, there is no report of the efficacy of fixed-dose combination of H2RA, sucralfate, and bismuth [3,7,11,14-17]. This is the first prospective trial to evaluate the efficacy of combination of H2RA, sucralfate, and bismuth for the prevention of peptic ulcer or gastric mucosal injury due to long-term use of lowdose ASA ...

We have shown that contact with H. pylori rapidly activates ERK1, ERK2, p38, JNK p46, and JNK p54 MAP kinases in AGS gastric epithelial cells. We also find that H. pylori cag+ strains are more potent than cag− strains in inducing MAP kinase activation. Differential MAP kinase activation by cag+ and cag−H. pylori strains is particularly evident for JNK phosphorylation and appears to be dependent upon genes within the cag pathogenicity island. Inhibitors of p38 and MEK1 MAP kinases prevent H. pylori-induced IL-8 production. However, p38 and MEK1 MAP kinase activity do not appear to be essential for H. pylori-induced NF-κB activation.. H. pylori has adapted to interact specifically with gastric-type epithelial cells. H. pylori infection is limited to areas of the gastrointestinal tract that are lined by gastric epithelium, and the bacterium is known to activate several gastric epithelial cell signaling events. Previous studies have shown that adherence of H. pylori to AGS gastric epithelial ...
The isolation of Helicobacter pylori from the human gastric mucosa in 1982 and the demonstration of its involvement in gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinomas have radically changed our perception of these diseases. H. pylori is a small, spiral, gram-negative bacillus that appears to inhabit the mucous layer overlying the gastric epithelial cells in humans. It produces a potent urease, which, by producing ammonia, may help to neutralize gastric acid, but the mechanism by which the bacteria produces gastric inflammation is not clear as it does not invade the mucosa. Development of atrophy and metaplasia of the gastric mucosa are strongly associated with H. pylori infection. Oxidative and nitrosative stress in combination with inflammation plays an important role in gastric carcinogenesis. More. Last updated: 25 Janury 2008. ...
Ethanol, after intragastric administration, penetrates deeply into the gastric mucosa because of high lipid solubility and, at concentrations of 50-100%, causes microvascular damage and hemorrhagic lesions (23, 34, 37, 38, 41). Ethanol-induced injury to the gastric mucosa is a time-related process in which disruption or exfoliation of the gastric surface epithelium is followed by necrosis of deeper mucosal layers, including the mucosal proliferative zone and the microvasculature (23,37, 38, 41). Angiogenesis is a prerequisite for the healing of ethanol-induced deep gastric mucosal damage. Our previous study has shown that ethanol-induced injury to gastric mucosa triggers an angiogenic response as well as an increase in bFGF, a known angiogenic factor, in the mucosa bordering necrosis (36, 39).. The present study demonstrates for the first time that ethanol-induced injury to the gastric mucosa activates VEGF gene expression as reflected by increases in VEGF at both the transcriptional and ...

Bullfrog tadpole stomachs of various metamorphic stages were examined to determine the fine-structural development of oxyntic cells and to correlate observed morphological development with the capacity to secrete HCl. It was found that in vitro tadpole stomachs can consistently be stimulated to secrete acid by stage XXIV of metamorphosis, when tail reabsorption is nearly complete. Concomitant with the appearance of HCl secretion, identifiable oxyntic cells were found in the gastric glands.. Prior to stage XXIV (stages XXI and XXII) the majority of cells present in the developing gastric glands exhibit features of cytological organization characteristic of undifferentiated cells: large nuclei, relatively scantry cytoplasm, and numerous ribosomal particles within the cytoplasmic matrix. The newly differentiated oxyntic cells of stage XXIV tadpole stomachs are recognizable by the accumulation of tubular members of the smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum in the apical portion of the cells. These ...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is implicated in human gastric mucosa. Fork head box M1 (FoxM1), the key positive regulator of cell proliferation is overexpressed in gastric cancer. MicroRNAs are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. In this study, we explored the effect of H. pylori infection on FoxM1 expression and possible mechanisms. The expression of FoxM1 was gradually increased in human gastric specimens from inflammation to cancer. FoxM1 was time- and concentration-dependently upregulated in gastric epithelial-derived cell lines infected with H. pylori. CagA, the key virulence factor of H. pylori, was associated with increasing FoxM1 expression. H. pylori and CagA inhibited the expression of P27Kip1 (cylcin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B, CDKN1B) and promoted cell proliferation by upregulating FoxM1. The expression of hsa-miR-370 was decreased in human gastritis and gastric cancer. FoxM1 was directly downregulated by hsa-miR-370 in gastric cell lines. H. pylori and ...
Indomethacin (IND) is an extensively used drug. However, it provokes aggressive ulcerogenic potential. Chamomile is a widely used as natural herb with a powerful antioxidant activity. This study aims to assess the effects of chamomile flowers extract (CFE) in IND induced peptic ulcer (PU). Fifty rats classified to five groups; control, ulcer, and pretreated groups with CFE (200 mg/kg), pretreated with ranitidine RAN (50 mg/kg), and pretreated with CFE+RAN for 14 days pre-ulcer induction. Pretreatment with CFE and/or RAN significantly decreased ulcer index, gastric acidity, pepsin activity, gastric oxidative stress biomarkers, serum anti-inflammatory cytokines, and histopathological changes induced by IND. The pretreated groups significantly elevated gastric enzyme antioxidant activity, mucin content and gastric mucosal prostaglandin E2 with comparison to IND group. Pretreatment with CFE+RAN displayed the most gastroprotective effects compared with pretreated with either CFE or RAN alone. ...
Investigations on gastric mucosal protective mechanisms are focused mainly on the local mucosal processes. Much less is known about how the central nervous system may influence the gastric mucosal defense. However, gastric mucosal protection induced by a central mechanism was described recently (Tache et al., 1994; Gyires, 1997;Guidobono et al., 1998; Kaneko et al., 1998; Yang et al., 1999). In our present study, the role of central opioid receptors was analyzed by means of selective δ- and μ-opioid receptor agonists. It was found that both the selective δ- and μ-opioid receptor agonists injected either i.c.v. or i.c. exerted protective effect against acidified ethanol-induced lesions; the rank order of potency was β-endorphin , DAGO , DADLE , deltorphin II , DPDPE following i.c.v. injection and deltorphin II , β endorphin , DPDPE , DAGO , DADLE following i.c. administration. The results suggest that activation of supraspinal δ- and μ-opioid receptors may induce gastric mucosal ...

Hydrogen has been reported to relieve damage in many disease models, and is a potential additive in drinking water to provide protective effects for patients as several clinical studies revealed. However, the absence of a dose-response relationship in the application of hydrogen is puzzling. We attempted to identify the dose-response relationship of hydrogen in alkaline electrolyzed drinking water through the aspirin induced gastric injury model. In this study, hydrogen-rich alkaline water was obtained by adding H2 to electrolyzed water at one atmosphere pressure. After 2 weeks of drinking, we detected the gastric mucosal damage together with MPO, MDA and 8-OHdG in rat aspirin induced gastric injury model. Hydrogen-dose dependent inhibition was observed in stomach mucosal. Under pH 8.5, 0.07, 0.22 and 0.84 ppm hydrogen exhibited a high correlation with inhibitory effects showed by erosion area, MPO activity and MDA content in the stomach.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can result in peptic ulcer disease (PUD) which is a common condition worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiulcer properties of (1-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-m-tolyl-propenone) (HPTP) chalcone in rats using indomethacin as ulcerogenic agent. None of the rats showed symptoms of kidney and liver toxicity during the term of the study. Administration of HPTP had decreased the acidity, increased gastric wall mucus and flattening of gastric mucosa and reducing erosive gastric damage area. HPTP also showed dose dependent increase in SOD, GPx activity and PGE2 level and decrease MDA. H & E stain showed decreased infiltration of leucocytes with edema of submucosal layer. PAS staining showed intense uptake of magenta color of gastric wall mucus in rats fed with HPTP, and immunohistochemical staining of gastric mucosa revealed over-expression of HSP70 protein, down-expression of Bax protein and over expression of TGF-β in rats administered with HPTP.

BACKGROUND Antenatal exposure to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been associated with renal dysgenesis in humans. METHODS These studies characterized cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) versus COX-1-selective inhibition on nephrogenesis in the rodent using histomorphometry, immunohistology, and in situ hybridization. RESULTS Administration of a COX-2-selective inhibitor (SC58236), started during pregnancy until weaning, significantly impaired development of the renal cortex and reduced glomerular diameter in both mice and rats. An identical phenotype was demonstrated in COX-2 -/- mice. In contrast to its effects on the developing kidney, a COX-2 inhibitor had no effect on glomerular volume in adult mice. This effect was specific for COX-2 because maternal administration of a COX-1-selective inhibitor (SC58560) did not affect renal development despite significantly inhibiting gastric mucosal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis in pups. The expression of COX-2 immunoreactivity peaked in the first

We previously reported that gastrin induced PAI-2 in gastric epithelial cells via activation of PKC and RhoA, which in part triggered release of an unidentified paracrine mediator (11) . The present findings therefore extend these studies both by identification of H. pylori as a regulator of PAI-2 in gastric epithelial cells and by demonstration of the role of NFκB and of IL-8 and COX-2 as mediators of the response. It is well recognized that NFκB is activated by H. pylori and in turn leads to induction of IL-8 and COX-2 (28 , 33 , 34) . Less clear, however, are putative targets within the gastric epithelium that might mediate the progression to cancer and the integrative mechanisms that might account for differential cell signaling in tissues as complex as the gastric mucosa. The present observations indicate that PAI-2 should now be considered a putative target of NFκB activation by H. pylori.

It is surmized that this arrangement forms one of the mechanisms by which the underlying layers are protected against luminal acid. The supranuclear portions of the cells just below their free surfaces contain dense, homogeneous, spherical or ovoid granules consisting of a type of mucigen (Bloom and Fawcett l975). Upon release into the lumen, the granules give rise to the layer of mucus that covers the luminal surface of the mucosa. In the cells of the gastric pits, the granules become progressively less abundant at deeper levels, and in the bottom of the pits they from only a thin layer immediately beneath the cell surface. Cells of this kind continue into the necks of the gastric glands. Under physiological conditions, the surface mucus cells are continuously desquamated into the lumen and are completely replaced every 3 days (Ham l974; ...
Adenosine is the endogenous agonist at all adenosine receptors. Under resting physiological conditions, adenosine levels in the interstitial fluid are between 30 and 300 nM (7). This is sufficient to activate A1, A2A, and A3 adenosine receptors whenever these proteins are abundantly expressed on the cell surface. The local adenosine level increases 10-fold during hypoxia and 100- to 1,000-fold in ischemia (7, 18, 34, 72), allowing cell responses mediated via A2BR in these settings. The pharmacological and functional studies presented here have been conducted using parietal cells obtained from normal rabbit gastric mucosa, which are representative populations of native, nontransformed primary cells at rest. They provide evidence that A2B is the adenosine receptor that is preferentially, if not exclusively, expressed on the parietal cell membrane and mediates acid production via Gs activation. Moreover, activation kinetics indicate that the A2BR might act at full power to activate acid production ...
In the GC cell lines, the level ofmiR-200a/b methylation decreased and the level of expression increased after demethylation. In the human gastric mucosa, the miR-200a/b methylation levels increased in the following group order: H. pylori-negative control group, H. pylori-positive control group, and H. pylori-positive GC group. Conversely, the miR-200a/b expression levels decreased in the same order. In the H. pylori-persistence group, no significant changes were observed in the methylation and expression levels of miR-200a/b after 6 months, whereas the level of methyla-tion decreased and the level of expression of miR-200a/b increased significantly 6 months in the H. pylori-eradication group ...
It must be assumed that some cause is operative in certain cases preventing the healing of defects in the gastric mucosa and is inoperative in others. Even though anhemolytic streptococci are present in practically all gastric ulcers, we cannot convince ourselves that these organisms have been proven as yet to be the factor which either initiates the ulceration or prevents healing. Nevertheless, the constant presence of streptococci in this type of lesion is a suggestive fact and further experiments to determine their significance are being undertaken. ...
The most common finding in this study is an inflammatory process of the gastric mucosa - gastritis.In fact, after 20 years it is present in almost everyone.More serious is the discovery of the plague.Its danger lies in the fact that it can bleed and even to break through the wall of the stomach completely.In the event of signs of complications held emergency EGD.Gastric ulcer, among other things, is able to regenerate a more serious disease.. Much more disturbing is the discovery in the stomach cavity of a tumor process.Unpleasant discovery is also a gastric polyp.If you find something similar or just inflamed mucous area with signs of changing the structure of the doctor, most likely, with the consent of the patient will take a biopsy.Later removal of tissue samples are sent to patotsitologicheskoe research.The result will allow to say exactly what is is one or the other a modified portion of the gastric mucosa.. ...

History & Aims Gastric carcinoma is usually related mostly to infection, which disrupts the gastric mucosa turnover and elicits an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and preneoplastic transdifferentiation. pattern, characterized by an early transient YAP1 nuclear accumulation and stimulated YAP1/TEAD transcription, followed by nuclear LATS2 up-regulation leading to YAP1 phosphorylation and targeting for degradation. LATS2 and YAP1 reciprocally positively regulate each others expression. Loss-of-function experiments showed that LATS2 restricts contamination engages a number of signaling cascades that alienate mucosa homeostasis, including the Hippo LATS2/YAP1/TEAD pathway. In the hostCpathogen conflict, which generates an inflammatory environment and perturbations Pterostilbene of the epithelial turnover and differentiation, Hippo signaling appears as a protective pathway, restricting the?lack of gastric epithelial cell identification that precedes gastric?carcinoma advancement. infections; ...
