Objectives:This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Goihwa-san(GHS) against ulcerative colitis induced by DSS (dextran sulfate sodium).
Method:The sample group was divided into three. The control group consisted of mice that were not inflammation-induced. The pathological group was composed of untreated colitis elicited mice. The experimental group was administered GHS after colitis elicitation. The effects on ulcerative colitis were evaluated by the morphological change of colonic mucosa, the anti-oxidant effect, HSP 70, NF-B, COX-1, COX-2 and iNOS.
Results:In terms of immunohistochemical changes, the distribution of COX-1 in mice treated with GHS increased noticeably more than that in the pathological group. The distributions of HSP70, NF-B, COX-2, iNOS in mice treated with GHS more decreased than those in the pathological group. Regeneration of surface epithelial cell and goblet cell in mucosa was observed by optical microscope. The colonic lengths in GHS-treated mice were more elongated than those of DSS only treated mice.
Conclusion:GHS is a candidate treatment for ulcerative colitis.
