Six dogs underwent high selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA). The gross and histological change of dog’s stomach were observed at 4-6 months after operation. It was found that the reconstructed antrum healed well and there was no stasis and distension in the stomach .The appearance of the nerves in muscular layer of the antrum was normal. No serious gastritis and mucosal atrophy was observed. These results indicat that HSV+MA is a reasonable procedure for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
Objective To investigate the mechanism and clinical significance of vincristine (VCR) inhibiting gastrinproliferation effects on human colon cell line SW480. Methods Effects of VCR on the viable cell count (A value), myoinositol triphosphate (IP3, CPM value), 〔Ca2+〕i and protein kinase C (PKC) activity of human colon cell line SW480 were evaluated in vitro by MTT assay,3Hmyoinositol incorporation, fluorescence measurements and γ-32P-ATP incorporation.Results A value of VCR+PG group was lower than that of PG or control group (Ｐ＜0.01 vs control, Ｐ＜0.01 vs PG). The concentration of IP3 or 〔Ca2+〕i in VCR+PG group was lower than that in PG group (Ｐ＜0.01 vs PG); and the PKC activity of membrane was lower than that in PG group (Ｐ＜0.05 vs PG, Ｐ＞0.05 vs control). Conclusion Effects of vincristine may be through the phosphoinositide signaling pathway on gastrinstimulating cell proliferation in human colon cell line SW480. It has provided an experimental evidence for antisignaling therapy for patients with colon cancer.
To observe the changes of antral motor function and electrogastrography of 12 dogs and 30 patients with duodenal ulcer after highly selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy.Results: in an empty stomach, the preoperative and postoperative antral pressure value of dogs was similar, but the antral action potential frequency of dogs was slower after operation than that before operation. After injection of pentagastrin, whether before or after operation, the antral pressure value and action potential frequency of dogs were similar in the two groups. In an empty stomach, the electrogastrography frequency of patietns with duodenal ulcer was decreased after operation than that before operation, but their value of electrogastrography was similar, and after taking food, their preoperative and postoperative value and frequency of electrogastrography were significantly higher than that before taking food. But, whether before or after operation, there wasn’t significant diffence in them.Conclusions: there wasn’t changes of antral motor function and electrogastrography in dogs and patients with duodenal ulcer after highly selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy.
Objective To investigate the effects of highly selective vagotomy plus mucosal antrectomy (HSVMA) and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) alone on the functions of the gastric antrum. MethodsEighteen dogs and 48 patients with chronic duodenal ulcer were tested. The time of gastric emptying, antral myoelectric activity, antral pressure were measured 4-6 months after operation in 18 dogs which were randomized into the control, HSV and HSVMA groups. The gastric evacuation, frequency and amplitude of electrogastrography (EGG) were observed 4-6 months after operation in 48 patients who were randomly divided into HSV (20 patients) and HSVMA (28 patients) group, their preoperative values were considered as control group. ResultsIt was found by barium meal examinations that the shape of the stomach and duodenum was normal and gastric peristalsis was clearly visible in all the animals and patients of two postoperative groups. The beginning and ending time of gastric emptying were (5.0±0.06) min and (4.0±0.4) h respectively in the dogs of HSVMA group, which were similar to those of the dogs of control and HSV group (Pgt;0.05). The frequency of the antral myoelectric action potential was (3.11±0.65 ) cycles/min in the dogs of HSVMA group, the frequency of EGG was (3.25±0.75) cycles/min in the patients of HSVMA group, which were significantly lower than that of the dogs or patients of control and HSV group (P＜0.05). Injection of pentagastrin in dogs or taking meal in patients significantly increased the antral pressure or amplitude of EGG. Conclusion The motor function of the reconstructed antrum in the HSVMA group approaches the normal level despite a lower antral myoelectric frequency. It is believed that HSVMA will be a choice for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
Objective To observe the efficacy of all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with 5-Fu on treating subcutaneously implanted gastric carcinoma SGC 7901 in the nude mice. Methods Thirty-two nude mice bearing tumor were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (group A), ATRA 1 000 μg/d orally taken group (group B), 5-Fu 27 mg/kg group peritoneally injected (group C), 5-Fu 13.5 mg/kg combined with ATRA 500 μg/d group (group D). Results Significant inhibition of tumor growth was shown in the group B, group C and group D as compared with group A (Ｐ＜0.01), with the tumor growth inhibition rate and the tumor weight inhibition rate at the 7 weeks after the treatment being 56.88%, 49.00%, 70.00% and 56.10%, 51.64%, 76.95%. Conclusion ATRA combined with 5-Fu can enhance the effects of 5-Fu in treating gastric carcinoma.
