Objective To evaluate the clincopathological presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis(EG). Methods Seven patients with EG were studied. their clinical manifestation, laboratory tests, endoscopy, treatment and prognosis were analyzed from the hospital records. Results (1) The patients of predominant mucosal type were presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea, and those of serosal type with abdominal pain and bloating.Some accompanied with nausea, vomiting and low fever.(2) Peripheral and bone marrow eosinophilia were presented in all seven patients. Eosinophil counts waxed and waned with symptoms and dramatically responsed to steroid therapy.(3) ESR, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen were in normal range, and the level of IgG was decreased.(4) The ascites were exudative with eosinophilia.(5) Some patchy lesions such as erosion and edema in antrum, duodenum and cecum were presented in endoscopy.Biopsy showed predominant eosinophil infiltration in mucosa.(6) It responsed to steroid therapy, and all symptoms and eosinophilia would be relieved within one week.(7) Symptoms may relapse but with good prognosis.Conclusion Eosinophilic gastroenteritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms especially in the presence of peripheral eosinophilia. Mucosal biopsy would be helpful to establish the diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of Jinlongshe Granules (JLSG) on tumor growth of gastric carcinoma. METHODS: Fifty nude mice orthotopically transplanted with MKN-45 human gastric cancer cells were divided into five groups: untreated group, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated group and high-, medium-, and low-dose JLSG-treated groups. Corresponding antitumor drugs were administered in each group except the untreated group. The antitumor effects in vivo were evaluated. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of MKN-45 human gastric cancer cells were determined by using flow cytometry (FCM) and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) staining assay. The ultrastructure of MKN-45 gastric cancer cells was observed by transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: In the mice treated with high-, medium-, and low-dose JLSG, the growth inhibition rates of gastric cancer were 68.13%, 55.94% and 50.31% respectively, and this antitumor effect was dose-dependent. In the mice treated with intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU, the growth inhibition rate of gastric cancer was 53.43% and not much different from those treated with JLSG. The apoptotic rates in the high-, medium-, and low-dose JLSG-treated groups were 22.81%, 28.27% and 38.54% respectively, in a dose-dependent manner, with the cell cycle arrested at G(0)/G(1) phase. An Annexin V-FITC/PI staining assay revealed that the percentages of early apoptotic cells in the three dose JLSG-treated groups were all significantly higher than that in the 5-FU-treated group, whereas the late apoptotic and necrotic cells were much more in the 5-FU-treated group than those in the three dose JLSG-treated groups. CONCLUSION: Jinlongshe Granules exert an inhibiting effect on MKN-45 human gastric cancer cell.

Objective To test the effect of Undaria pinnatifida soluble dietary fiber on endothelial function in hyperlipidemic rats. Method Forty rats were divided into 4 groups(n=10) :control group,hyperlipidemic model group,low dose dietary fiber-treated group(5%) ,high dose dietary fiber-treated group(10%) . After treatment for 8 w. Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in isolated aortic rings,the content of plasma malondialdohyde(MDA) ,nitric oxide(NO) and endothelin-1(ET-1) were determined. The protein expression of endothelial NO synthase(eNOS) was measured by Western blotting. Results Undaria pinnatifida soluble dietary fiber treatment significantly decreased MDA and ET-1 level. It also significantly improved endothelial function and plasma NO level concomitantly with unregulation of the expression of eNOS protein. Conclusion In hyperlipidemic rats Undaria pinnatifida soluble dietary fiber could improve vascular endotheliual function,which might be explained by its action to decreasing plasma ET-1 level and increased NO production.
