This study was carried out to develop new model for gastric ulcer and to investigate some factor which effect it. Rats were immersed for 8 hours. Ulcer index was measured from total length of occured ulcer. Ulcer index (UI) of restraint and immersion group was higher significantly than that of only restraint group (p<0.001) and ulcer was occurred within only glandular stomach. UI of low water temperature group was higher significantly than that of high water temperature group (p

This study aimed to verify the nutritional and curative effects of protein hydroysate and optimal ratio between protein and protein hydroysate as nitrogen source in rats with cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer. Duodenal ulcer rat model was established by intraperitoneal injections of cysteamine. Sprague-Dawley, female rats weighing approximately 200g were intrapertionealy injected twice cysteamine(13mg/100g BW) at intervals of 3hours per day. This procedure was repeated 3 times at intervals of 3 days. Animals fed on 10% casein diet for injection periods. After last injection, 5 kinds of kiets (the ratio of casein and casein hydrolysate was 100 : 0(C100), 75 : 25(CH 25), 50 : 50(CH 50), 25 : 75(CH 75), 0 : 100(CH 100)) were given. The rate were sacrificed after feeding diet, 1, 3, 5 days. Ulcer index, hexosamine content of stomach and duodeum, gastric motility, trypsin activity, blood glutathione, plasma total protein, albumin, amino-N, urinalry urea nitrogen, creatinine, hydroxyproline and retention rate of nitrogen were analyzed for nutritional effects of diet treatments. There were no differences among diet groups in the view of the growth and diet treatments. There difference of ulcer curation by diet was appeared after 3 days. The ulcer indexes of C100 and CH 25 of 3, 5 days were significantly higher than those of CH 50, CH 75 and CH 100. This result was the same as hexosamine content of stomach, plasma protein, albumin concentration and nitrogen retention rate. The more casein hydrolysate diet had, the lower trypsin activity was. The more casein gydroysate diet had, the higher excretion of hydroxyproline was. These results show that protein hydrolysate can be applied in diet therapy for the patients with gastronitestinal ulcer. It suggests that it has curative effect of diet when nitogen sources include at least over than 50% of protein hydrolysate.

Most gastric candida infections have been reported in immune-insufficient patients with peptic ulcer, but there have been few reports on gastric candidiasis with malignant ulcer in the stomach. We experienced a case of candida infection with gastric carcinoma in a 72-year-old female with diabetic mellitus. The endoscopic view showed multiple whitish necrotic plaques with a huge ulcer in the body of the stomach. The pathologic findings showed that budding yeast and pseudohyphae had infiltrated through the ulcerated stomach wall and the stomach wall contained tubular adenocarcinoma. After treatment with Fluconazole medication for 14 days, the patient underwent total gastrectomy along with D2 lymph node dissection. For the final pathologic results, there was no evidence of any remnant candidiasis, and the patient was discharged without specific complications. Through our experience and with reviewing articles about gastric candidiasis, we recommend that the gastric candidiasis that is accompanied with gastric malignancy should be treated before administering definite treatments for the gastric cancer.

This study was conducted to see whether the hippocampectomy exerted facilitatory influence upon gastric ulceration in animals, and if so, whether the effect of hippocampectomy could be suppressed by adrenalectomy. 107 male rats were divided into 5 groups: rats that had over 90% of their hippocampal tissue removed through an opening on each side of the cerebral cortex(hippocampal group, N=21), rats that received bilateral adrenalectomy(adrenal group, N=29), rats that received adrenalectomy as well as hippocampectomy(hippocampo-adrenal group, N=10), rats that received damage to each side of the cortex over the hippocampus(cortical control group, N=20), and rats that had solely their head skin incised(normal control group, N=27). All rats were kept without restraint or food deprivation until on the 25th day after surgery, the stomach of each rat was inflated with 7ml of physiological saline and then removed under deep anesthesia. The mucosal surface was sketched under dissecting microscope, and enlarged photographs$(4{\times})$ were taken. The percentage of animals developing gastric ulcer in each animal group was calculated, the number of ulcer in each stomach was counted, and the total area of ulceration per stomach was measured on the Photograph with the aid of superimposed graph paper and expressed as permillage of total area of the glandular mucosa. Results obtained were as follows: 1. The percentage of animals developing gastric ulcer was significantly larger in the hippocampal group than they were in the hippocampo-adrenal, the adrenal, the cortical, and the normal control groups. 2. The mean number of ulcer per stomach was significantly larger in the hippocampal group than they were in the adrenal, the cortical control, and the normal control groups, while no significant difference existed between the hippocampal and the hippocampo-adrenal groups. 3. Total area of ulcer per stomach was significantly larger in the hippocampal group than they were in the cortical control and the normal control groups, but no significant differ-ence existed among the hippocampal, the adrenal, and the hippocampo·adrenal groups. 4. All measured values of the adrenal group were not significantly different from those of the hippocampo-adrenal, the cortical control, and the normal control groups. It is inferred from the above results that the hippocampus exerts an inhibitory influence upon gastric ulceration and that the hippocampal influence is mediated only partly through suppression of pituitary·adrenal activity.

The antiulcerative effect of Sikhe(Korean traditional sweet rice drink) on stomach ulcer induced by ethanol treatment was investigated. Fifty male mice were divided into 5 groups consisting of control group and 4 Sikhe groups fed 0.3% commercial Sikhe(group I), 3% commercial Sikhe(group II), 0.3% home-made Sikhe(group III) and 3% home-made Sikhe(group IV). Mice were fed experimental diet ad libitum for 45 days. Growth, stomach surface pH, gastric wall mucosa and ulcer index were examined. Feed intake and weight gain did not show significant differences among 5 groups(p>0.05). The stomach surface pH and the amount of gastric wall mucosa of Sikhe fed groups(group I~IV) were higher than those of the control group, but were not significantly different(p>0.05) . The ulcer indices of the control and Sikhe fed groups were 18.6$\pm$6.58mm and 13.7$\pm$5.87~17.8$\pm$9.10, respectively. But significant differences were not found between the control and the Sikhe fed groups(p>0.05) though mean values of Sikhe fed groups were lower than that of the control group.

Purpose: This study was performed to assess the clinical usefulness of transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) in detecting peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in children. Methods: Twenty-four patients (19 boys, 5 girls; mean age, $10.6{\pm}4.5years$ [range, 3.0-17.9 years]) who were admitted to the hospital for acute abdomen or gastrointestinal bleeding and diagnosed with PUD by endoscopy and who underwent TUS were included. Clinical data were retrospectively collected by reviewing patient medical records. Gastric ulcer (GU) was suspected when the gastric wall exceeded 8 mm in thickness and had lost its five-layer structure on TUS. Duodenal ulcer (DU) was suspected if the duodenal wall thickness exceeded 5 mm. Results: Sensitivity of TUS in diagnosing PUD was 66.7% for GU and 38.9% for DU. Mean age and body weight of the 11 patients suspected with PUD on TUS were $10.9{\pm}4.4years$ and $38.1{\pm}17.2kg$, respectively. For 13 patients without suspected PUD, they were $12.1{\pm}4.1years$ and $39.6{\pm}17.0kg$, respectively. There was a significant difference in height, weight, and body mass index between patients who were suspected to have PUD and those who were not suspected on TUS (p=0.014, 0.008, and 0.005, respectively). A significant difference in the sensitivity of TUS in diagnosing PUD was found between patients under 30 kg and those over 30 kg (88.9% and 20.0%, respectively; p=0.003). Conclusion: TUS investigation of the stomach and duodenum is an efficient method for PUD detection in children with low body weight. TUS can be used in preliminary diagnostic work-up before further invasive tests.

This study was performed to investigate the influcence of mugwort on the duodenal ulcer induced by cysteamine administration in rats. Five groups of rats were fed each experimental diet containing 0%, 5%, 15%, 30% of mugwork powder for 10 weeks. Duodenal ulcer was induced by cysteamine injection (400mg/100g body weight) after 10 weeks of feeding experimental diets (C-0, C-5, C-15, C-30). Control animal that fed 0% mugwork powder added diet were injected saline (S-0) to compare with cysteamine injected groups. When the duodenal ulcer induced by cysteamine-HCI administration, all animals in the C-0 group formed erosion and perforating ulcer was found in 44% of animals. Higher the added mugwork ratio, more inhibited of the duodenal ulcer induced by cysteamine administration (C-5, C-15). But when the ratio of added mugwort is 30%, the inhibition effect disappeared (C-30). The alkaline phospatase activities were lower at the duodenal mucosa and small intestinal mucosa in the cysteamine treated groups(p<0.05). The acid phophatase activities were higher at the stomach, small intestine and large intestine of the cysteamine treated groups. But in mugwort added diet group, the changes of enzyme activites were lessended. The maltast activities were lower at the duodental mucosa and small intestinal mucosa of cysteamine treated groups. But in mugwort added diet group, maltase activites were recovered.

Anti-ulcer activity of licorice alkaloid fraction, separated from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. by fractionation according to general alkaloid purification procedure, were studied with various experimental gastric ulcers. In Shay ulcer, licorice alkaloid fraction inhibit significantly response rate and severity of ulcer. But there was no significant changes in volume and pH of gastric contents. A male rat was fixed on a board and immersed up to breast in water of $25^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs. Hemorrhage and erosion develop in all the animals on the mucosa of the glandular portion of stomach. Licorice alkaloid fraction (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg) inhibit significantly in the severity of stress ulcer but there was no changes in the response rate. Chlorpromazine produce marked inhibition in the severity and response rate of ulcer It was suggested that at least the anti-ulcer activity of licorice alkaloid fraction was not mediated by central depression.

Objectives : This research examined about dietary therapy on the gastric & duodenal ulcer based on the literary findings, for clinical treatment and prevention of the gastric & duodenal ulcer. Methods : This Research examined on histories, compositions, applications, and effects of dietetic on about 200 cases of dietary therapy of the gastric & duodenal ulcer from recent Chinese literatures Results : 1. Various vegetables, animals and mineral materials including herbs, grains, vegetables, fruits, food and drink were used for the dietary therapy. 2. Methods of the preparation for use as therapeutics were decoction, pulvis, gruel, medicinal wine, cake, tea, paste and gelatin and etc. 3. Frequently used materials were cuttle fish bone, Bletillae rhizoma, oyster shell, egg shell, sugar, aloe, licorice, lily, red jujube, and pig stomach. 4. Four properties of cold, warm, cool and hot were equal in frequencies. Most common tastes were sweet and bitter. Conclusion : Though dietary therapy for the gastric & duodenal ulcer is not based on clinical or experimental data, but through experience. It is mostly based on Yin-Yang and five elements, visceral manifestation, channels and their collateral channels and chinese herbal medicine theories. If we use them properly according to oriental medicine method, it will be effective on treating and preventing the gastric & duodenal ulcer.
