Effect of Sipjeondaebo-Tang on Cancer-Induced Anorexia and Cachexia in CT-26 Tumor-Bearing Mice

Cancer-associated anorexia and cachexia are a multifactorial condition described by a loss of body weight and muscle with anorexia, asthenia, and anemia. Moreover, they correlate with a high mortality rate, poor response to chemotherapy, poor performance status, and poor quality of life. Cancer cachexia is regulated by proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattrac...

The aim of this study was to determine the angiogenesis status of CCC and assess its relationship with angiogenic factors and clinicopathological characteristics. We examined 33 surgically resected CCC specimens. Tumor angiogenesis was assessed by microvessel density (MVD) using the anti-CD34 antibody, and the expre...

The fact that the genetic alterations of PTEN are frequently found in hormone-dependent cancers, such as endometrial, breast, and prostate cancers, might suggest the involvement of PTEN in the hormone-dependent cell growth of such tumors. Estrogen promotes the cell growth of the tumors by inducing peptide growth factors in part. We analyzed the possible involvement of PTEN in peptidegrowth fact...

Effects of Lizhong Tang on gastrointestinal motility in mice

AIM To investigate the effects of Lizhong Tang, a traditional Chinese medicine formula, on gastrointestinal motility in mice. METHODS The in vivo effects of Lizhong Tang on GI motility were investigated by measuring the intestinal transit rates (ITRs) and gastric emptying (GE) values in normal mice and in mice with experimentally induced GI motility dysfunction (GMD). RESULTS In normal ICR ...
