Rhubarb extract partially improves mucosal integrity in chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis
AIM To investigate the effects of orally gavaged aqueous rhubarb extract (RE) on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis in rats. METHODS Female Dark Agouti rats (n = 8/group) were gavaged daily (1 mL) with water, high-dose RE (HDR; 200 mg/kg) or low-dose RE (LDR; 20mg/kg) for eight days. Intestinal mucositis was induced (day 5) with 5-FU (150 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection. ...
متن کاملGlutamine supplementation, but not combined glutamine and arginine supplementation, improves gut barrier function during chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis in rats.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Increased intestinal permeability occurs during chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis. Previous data suggest that glutamine and arginine may have additive or synergic effects to limit intestinal damage. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of glutamine and arginine, each alone or in combination, on gut barrier function during methotrexate (MTX)-induced mucositis...
متن کاملAssessing and managing chemotherapy-induced mucositis pain.
Acute pain is the major clinical problem associated with mucositis. Mucosal tissue injury is a dose-limiting toxicity of many cancer therapies. Because the number of patients treated with combinations of high-dose chemotherapy agents is likely to increase, more patients are at risk for mucositis. Currently, no consensus exists regarding mucositis prevention, assessment, or treatment. Similarly,...
متن کاملRadiation therapy and chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis.
UNLABELLED Increasing the intensity of radiation therapy and chemotherapy in the management of cancer has increased the incidence of adverse effects, especially oral mucositis. AIM AND METHODS a bibliographical review was conducted on the definition of oral mucositis, its clinical findings, the incidence, its etiology, the pathophysiology, associated morbidity, prevention and treatment. RES...
متن کاملThe Role of Intestinal Microbiota in the Development and Severity of Chemotherapy-Induced Mucositis
Mucositis, also referred to as mucosal barrier injury, is one of the most debilitating side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Clinically, mucositis is associated with pain, bacteremia, and malnutrition. Furthermore, mucositis is a frequent reason to postpone chemotherapy treatment, ultimately leading towards a higher mortality in cancer patients. According to the model introdu...
