Endoscopic observation of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced gastric carcinogenesis in rat using a newly-developed flexible endoscope.

چکیده
Endoscopy can be used for sequential observation of gastric carcinogenesis in animal models. In the present study, we applied endoscopic examination and biopsy technique on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced stomach cancer in rats using a newly-developed flexible 2.5 mm endoscope. A total of 36 rats were divided into MNNG-treated and non-treated groups, observed on gastric endoscopy every 5 weeks, and sacrificed at week 10, 25, 35, and 50. The sequential growth process of MNNG-induced gastric tumor was clearly found by the endoscopic examination. Endoscopic appearances including incidence and size of tumor were well consistent with histological findings. In addition, biopsy specimens could be extracted from gastric mucosa in living rats using a biopsy forceps. These results indicate that the endoscopic technique can be a useful tool for investigating gastric carcinogenesis by sequential observation and collection of biopsy specimens.

Effect of prolonged administration of gastrin on experimental carcinogenesis in rat colon induced by intrarectal instillation of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
The effect of tetragastrin on the incidence and histology of colonic tumors induced by intrarectal instillation of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine was investigated in Wistar rats. Prolonged administration of tetragastrin in depot form during and after treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of colonic tumors in Experimental W...

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is thought to be a stomach carcinogen from epidemiological findings. To determine the effects of infection with the bacteria on experimental carcinogenesis, a study of the glandular stomach of Mongolian gerbils (MGs) was performed. Male MGs were treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine followed by inoculation with Hp or infected with Hp followed by N-methyl-N'-...

The effects of baclofen, a gamma-amino-n-butyric acid receptor B agonist, on gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and how its effects are influenced by selective (M1) and non-selective (M1 and M2) pharmacological blockade of muscarinic receptors were investigated in inbred Wistar rats. Rats were given s.c. injections of 8 mg/kg body wt baclofen with and without...

The effect of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on the initiation of gastroduodenal carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was examined under the conditions with and without sodium chloride. Male Wistar rats were given drinking water containing MNNG (100 mg/liter) and one of the following diets during the first 20 weeks ad libitum. Group 1 was given basal diet; group 2, d...
