With rabbit antibodies to nuclear 0.01 M Tris-HCl, pH 8, extract or "nucleolar preparations" of human HeLa S3 cells and fluorescein-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibodies, bright nucleolar immunofluorescence was observed in 61 or 63 human adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, sarcomas, hematological neoplasms, and other malignant tumors. With these antibodies, nucleolar immunofluorescence was not found in 23 normal tissue specimens, 10 benign adenomas and hyperplastic tissues, and 8 specimens of inflammatory diseases. In the nontumorous tissues examined, positive nucelolar fluorescence was found in a few sections of a gastric ulcer and chronic ulcerative colitis which have been known propensities for malignant change; these areas may have been undergoing focal malignant changes.

21 patients with peptic ulcers were treated with 2X25 mg Pirenzepin daily. A decrease in basal and Pentagastrin-stimulated HCl-secretion was found. Patients with duodenal ulcers (n = 12) or gastric ulcers (n = 9) became painless within 6 to 11 days. 18 ulcers healed under treatment with Pirenzepin. Patients with duodenal ulcer showed recovery sooner than patients with gastric ulcer. One year later recurrent ulcers were observed in 4 cases. Side-effects of Pirenzepin did not occur.

Pepsin secretion is stimulated by the back-diffusion of acid across the mucosa of the vagally denervated canine pouch. If back-diffusion is enhanced by damage, pepsin secretion increases. The current study investigates whether this mechanism exists in man. The stomach of normal human volunteers were irrigated for 1 hour with either buffer of 0.01 N HCl, 1 hour with 0.2 N HCl, and a final hour with buffer or 0.01 N HCl. During the middle hour both the concentration and output of pepsin increased three- or fourfold. From these studies it appears that the human gastric mucosa contains a mechanism similar to the dog's which results in the stimulation of pepsin secretion when exposed to acid. This mechanism could be of etiologic significance in gastric ulcer disease, which has been shown to be associated with increased gastric-mucosal permeability.

Pyloric sphincter pressure was assessed with water-perfused polyvinyl tubes. Smoking one cigarette significantly decreased the basal pyloric pressure, whereas 10 mg of metoclopramide as an intravenous bolus increased the pyloric pressure in normal subjects and in patients with gastric ulcer with low basal pressure. Duodenal acidification with 0.1 N HCl significantly increased pyloric pressure. Atropine 15 mug per kg, subcutaneously prevented the rise of pyloric pressure in response to acid infusion into the duodenum.

Gastric ulcer development and changes in the contents of glucose, free fatty acids (FFA), and K and Ca ions in the blood were studied in rats subjected to a graded stress of immobilisation and cold. During stress the volume of secretion and the output of HCl, decreased although the concentration rose slightly. Chlorpromazine (CPZ), thioridazine (TRZ), spiroperidol (SPI), and fluphenazine (FLU) inhibited to various degrees ulcer formation during stress. SPI reduced stress-induced mucosal damages in 94%, but FLU even in doses 100 times smaller than those of the other drugs counteracted ulcer formation. CPZ, TRZ and SPI in preventive doses increased proportionally the blood glucose level both in control rats and in those subject to stress. FLU in effective doses produced no hyperglycemia either in control rats or in those exposed to stress. We conclude that the prevention of gastric ulcer development by neuroleptics may be the result of their antisecretory action and counteracting of breakdown of sympathetic activity during severe stress.

Pyloric pressure was assayed by a manometric procedure in the basal state and after intraduodenal infusion of HCl. 13 control subjects, 11 patients with benign gastric ulcer, 8 with duodenal ulcer, and 2 with coexistent gastric and duodenal ulcers were studied. Mean resting pyloric pressure in gastric-ulcer patients (5.17 +/- 0.71) mm Hg) was significantly lower than controls (9.40 +/- 0.85 mm Hg) and did not increase after HCl perfusion into the duodenum. Mean basal pyloric pressure in duodenal-ulcer patients (11.30 +/- 1.57 mm Hg) did not differ significantly from controls and increased after intraduodenal perfusion of HCl to 15.72 +/- 2.40 mm Hg. The two patients with coexistent ulcers had manometric patterns similar to gastric-ulcer patients. Decreased pyloric-sphincter pressure in gastric-ulcer patients may be the mechanism responsible for the increased duodeno-gastric reflux observed in these patients.

A slow-release zinc complex, zinc monoglycerolate (ZMG) was examined for its potential gastroprotective activity in various gastric ulcer models. These models comprised (a) oral or parenteral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) given to rats whose gastrointestinal mucosa was pre-sensitized by prior development of arthritis, oleyl alcohol-induced inflammation and cold exposure, (b) oral ethanol (12.5-100%) with and without added 4% HCl, (c) intraperitoneal reserpine (5 mg kg-1) in arthritic and normal rats and in normal mice, (d) oral NSAIDs given to mice in which acid and pepsin production was stimulated by co-administration of intraperitoneal bethanechol chloride (5 mg kg-1) to enhance ulcer development, and (e) NSAIDs given to carrageenan-inflamed rats to determine effects of ZMG on paw inflammation. In these models, ZMG given orally was effective in preventing development of gastric lesions, except with propionic acid NSAIDs; the effective doses being apparently dependent on the severity of the mucosal injury. In many of the models ZMG was superior to zinc sulphate and other zinc salts or metal ion complexes investigated but was slightly more effective or equipotent compared with zinc acexamate. ZMG did not impair the anti-oedemic effects of NSAIDs. ZMG is thus an effective agent in preventing ulcer development in a wide range of model systems and may be more effective than zinc salts because of the controlled slow-release of zinc from the complex.

This study presents an observation of the anti-inflammatory effect of Aconitum carmichaeli decoction on water-immersion stress induced gastric ulcer in mice and 0.6 mol/L HCl induced gastric ulcer in rats. The observation showed that the decoction was resistant to the castor oil induced and Cassia angustifolia leaf induced experimental diarrhea in mice, and also had marked analgesic action. It is thus suggested that Aconitum carmichaeli is useful clinically as a spleen-stomach warming and analgesic agent in traditional Chinese medicine.

The preventive effects of hydroxychalcone derivatives on ulcer formation induced by severe necrotizing agents such as 60% ethanol in 150 mM HCl (HCl-ethanol) and 0.2 N NaOH in rats were examined. Among the compounds tested, 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone gave the strongest activity in both experimental models and protected the gastric mucosa from the insult of either necrotizing agent at oral doses ranging from 1 to 10 mg/kg, as evidenced by a dose-related reduction in the ulcer index. The mucosal protective activity of 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone was not affected by pretreatment with indomethacin (5 mg/kg, s.c.). To investigate the detailed mechanism of the mucosal protective action of 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone, its inhibitory effects on the decrease in the hexosamine content from the gastric mucus induced by HCl-ethanol were studied by using it in combination with a dye, Alcian blue. As a result, 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone at an oral dose of 10 mg/kg inhibited the decrease in the dye-recovery from the gastric mucus induced by HCl-ethanol. PGE2 at an oral dose of 0.1 mg/kg exhibited a similar action. These results established that 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone is a potent cytoprotective agent similar to PGE2 effectively preventing gastric ulcer formation induced by strong necrotizing agents and seems to suggest that this compound protects the stomach against its own peptic secretions by reinforcement of gastric resistances. In fact, 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone prevented ulcer formation induced by water-immersion stress in rats and also showed a marked enhancement of the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in rats.

The effects of a weakly acidic polysaccharide fraction, GL-4, from the leaves of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer on various experimental gastric ulcer models in mice and rats have been studied. Oral administration of GL-4 at doses of 50 to 200 mg/kg inhibited the formation of the gastric lesions induced by necrotizing agents such as HCl/ethanol and ethanol in a dose-dependent manner. This protective effect was observed not only upon oral but also upon subcutaneous administration of GL-4 (50-100 mg/kg). GL-4 also inhibited the formation of gastric ulcers which were induced by water immersion stress, indomethacin, or pylorus-ligation. The contents of prostaglandin E2 in the gastric juice from rats were not influenced by oral administration of GL-4. The protective action of GL-4 against HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions was not abolished by pretreatment with indomethacin. When GL-4 (100 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered into pylorus-ligated rats, both gastric acidity and pepsin activity in the gastric juice decreased significantly.
