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.

Helicobacter pylori infection enhances glandular stomach carcinogenesis in Mongolian gerbils treated with chemical carcinogens.

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'-...
