Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of Changrui Enemas on IL-1β and NF-κB in the rat model of radiation-induced proctitis, and to explore the mechanism of its repairing mucous membrane and diminishing inflammation. Methods Radiation was given on the pelvis of rats through linear accelerator to establish the model of proctitis. 70 rats were divided into seven groups randomly. Small dose (0.4 g/ml), middle dose(0.8 g/ml) and large dose(1.6 g/ml) of Changrui Enemas by retention enema were given for 7 days, with the admixture liquids of Gentamyein and Dexamethasone, Xilei Powder was used as controls. Changes of IL-1β and NF-κB expression were investigated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and IHC respectively. Results The expression of IL-1β and NF-κB were determined in the groups accepted radiation, but there had been a dramatic decline in the treatment groups(P<0.05). The high dose treatment group was superior to the low dose one on the whole. Conclusion Changrui Enemas can down-regulate the expression of inflammatory factor IL-1β and NF-κB on radiation induced proctitis rats, and reduce the inflammatory reaction, protect the rectal mucosa, accelerate healing up of the ulcer and relief the symptoms.
