Abstract Objective: to observe the effects of moxibustion on histomorphological changes of gastric mucosa, as well as on serum IL-6、IL-8、TNF-α,Hp IgG、CD3+、CD4+、CD8+ in helicobacter pylori (Hp) infected rats, so that to better understand how the moxibustion repairs the Hp- induced gastric mucosal injury. Methods: 40 SD rats were randomly assigned to four groups: group A (blank control), group B (Hp infection model), group C (moxibustion plus model), group D (electro-acupuncture plus model), 10 for each group. The “NaHCO3 plus Indometacin and Hp intragastric administration” method was employed to make gastritis model. Acupoints selected for “repair” purpose were Zu San Li (ST36), Zhong Wan (CV12), Guan Yuan (RN4), Pi Shu (BL20), Wei Shu(BL21). The histomorphological changes of gastric mucosa in rats were observed under light microscope after HE stain; IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, Hp IgG values were evaluated by ELISA method; values of CD3+、CD4+、CD8+、CD4+/CD8+ were measured by flow cytometry method. Results: compared with group A, the values of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, Hp IgG and CD8+ in group B were increased(P<0.01), whereas the values of CD3+、CD4+、CD4+/CD8+ were decreased(P<0.01). Compared with group B, the values of IL-8(P<0.05),TNF-α(P<0.05), IL-6(P<0.01), Hp IgG(P<0.01) and CD8+ (P<0.05) in group C were decreased, whereas the values of CD3+(P<0.05),CD4+(P<0.05),CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.05) were increased, meanwhile such values in group D had no significant changes. Compared with group D, the values of IL-6(P<0.05),IL-8 (P<0.05)and Hp IgG (P<0.01)in group C were decreased, whereas CD4+/CD8+(P<0.05)were increased, all those changes had statistical significance. Conclusion: the preventive and therapeutic effects of moxibustion on Hp related gastritis might be realized by two ways- to inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α, or to regulate the production of immune factors (such as up-regulation of CD3+, CD4+ and down-regulation of CD8+).

Background: The extract of Corchorus olitorius has a reasonable content of vitamins A and C, calcium, iron and fibre, and therefore enjoys a universal application in the treatment of some disease conditions, even as the whole leaf is a very important component of food in so many cultures. Purpose: The study was designed to investigate the effect of Corchorus olitorius extracts on the testis of adult Wistar rats. Method: A total number of thirty two adult Wistar rats weighing between 180 and 200 grammes separated into four groups labeled A,B,C and D respectively were used for the study. Animals in group A which served as the control group were fed with the normal rat chow and water only. The group B rats were administered 100mg/kg body weight of aqueous extract of Corchorus olitorus; while those in group C were administered 500mg/kg body weight of the extract. The group D rats received 1000mg/kg body weight of the extract. For a period of four weeks, the different experimental animal groups received the respective aforementioned treatments once daily, around nine- o’clock in the morning through oral intubation. At the end of the 28 day treatment, the animals were sacrificed and the testes harvested for histological, investigation, and through cardiac puncture, blood samples for some hormonal studies was also collected and investigated using standard laboratory standards. Results: Observations made showed that the extract produced no histological distortions, degenerative or defective effects on the testicular tissues. The testosterone levels of group B, C, and D rats were observed to be significantly higher (P<0.005) than that of the group A (control group).ound: The extract of Corchorus olitorius has a reasonable content of vitamins A and C, calcium, iron and fibre, and therefore enjoys a universal application in the treatment of some disease conditions, even as the whole leaf is a very important component of food in so many cultures.

Abstract: Androgenic-anabolic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone endogenous testosterone that stimulates anabolic (protein synthesis) and androgenic effects (masculinization). Long-term usage of AAS can result in liver damage. However, physiological concentrations of testosterone can stimulate protein synthesis which lead to an increase in muscle size, body mass, and endurance. This study aimed to determine the histopathology of liver and skeletal muscles of wistar rats that were given low dose and high dose injection of AAS. Subjects were 21 wistar rats divided into 7 groups. Group A was given standard pellets for 56 days (negative control), terminated on days 29,43, and 57. Group B was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 28 days, terminated on day 29. Group C was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 42 days, terminated on day 43. Group D was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 56 days, terminated on day 57. Group E was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 28 days, terminated on day 29. Group F was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 42 days, terminated on day 43. Group G was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 56 days, terminated on day 57. The results showed that the histopathology of liver and muscles in group A was still normal. In group B, the architecture of liver was still normal with a few inflammatory cells around the Kiernan triangle while in muscle the ratio of myofibril diameter was 1.28:1. In group C and group D, there were widening of the hepatic artery, bile duct, and portal vein containing blood fibrin, and inflammatory cells around the Kiernan triangle. The ratio of myofibril diameter was 1.43:1 in group C and 2.14:1 in group D. In group E, F and G, there were micro-vesicular fatty cells in the peripheral part of the liver meanwhile the myofibril diameter ratio of the muscles in group E was 1.43:1, group F 2.1:1, and group G 2.28:1. Conclusion: Administration of AAS injection of low dose and high dose for less than 4 weeks could result in inflammation, dilation of the portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct meanwhile administration of AAS for over 4 weeks could ressult in focal fatty liver (steatosis). The administration of AAS injection of low dose and high dose for 4,6 and 8 weeks reslutid in enlargement of skeletal muscle (muscle hypertrophy).Keywords: androgenic-anabolic steroids, liver, skeletal muscleAbstrak: Anabolik Androgenik Steroid (AAS) adalah derivat sintetis dari hormon sex testosteron endogen pria, yang merangsang efek anabolik (sintesis protein) dan androgenik (maskulinisasi).

The organophosphate, dichlorvous (Otapia-pia) formulated in varying concentrations as insecticides is utilized by several individuals in most remote places of Nigeria due to its affordable value and accessibility. However, this present study is conducted to investigate the adverse effect of the exposure of this substance on the respiratory system (lungs) of male albino wistar rats. Twenty (20) albino wistar rats comprising of all males weighing between 150-230g were divided into four groups (A-D) of five animals each. Group A received only water, feed, and served as the control. Group B was exposed to dichlorvous inhalation 3hrs daily for a period of two weeks; Group C was exposed to dichlorvous inhalation 6hrs daily for a period of two weeks; while Group D was exposed to dichlorvous inhalation 10hrs daily for a period of two weeks. Twenty four hours after the last exposure, the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and dissected. The lungs were weighed and fixed in 10% formal saline for histological studies. The body weight of the experimental groups decreased insignificantly when compared with the control group. The lungs weight increased significantly when compared to the control groups. Histological observation revealed a moderate to severe effects on the lungs with severe consolidated inflammatory exudates (discharge of fluids from pores), a moderate intra-alveoli hemorrhage, and a severe dilation of alveolar septa which is evident as emphysematous changes. This result revealed that the exposure to dichlorvous causes distortion of the normal histological architecture of the lungs. Thus, showing that dichlorvous inhalation influences the normal physiologic mechanisms of the lungs.

Abstract: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a traditional plant, which is known to treat liver disease. The effect of moringa is related to the antioxidant activity of its compounds such as quercetin and flavonoid silymarin which are useful as liver protector. Carbon tetraclorida is a hepatotoxic substance that is usually used as an inducer of liver damage in studies related to hepatoprotector activity of a substance. This study aimed to describe liver histopathological features of Wistar rats fed with moringa leaf extract after CCl4 induction. This was an experimental study using 24 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were divided into 4 groups. Group A, the negative control, was terminated at day 6th, and the other groups (B, C, and D) were induced with CCl4 0.05 cc/day for 5 days. After CCl4 induction, group B were terminated at day 6th; group C was treated with moringa leaf extract 100 mg/day for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th; group D received no treatment for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th. The results showed that groups induced with CCl4 for 5 days showed the presence of inflammatory cells and fatty cells. The groups treated with moringa leaf extract 100mg/day for 5 days after CCl4 induction 0.05 cc/day exhibited regeneration of liver cells in nearly all lobules. Conclusion: Administration of moringa leaf extract of 100mg/day could accelerate liver cell regeneration of Wistar rats after induction of CCl4 0.05cc/day.Keywords: moringa leaf extract, carbon tetrachloride, histopathologogical image of liverAbstrak: Kelor merupakan tanaman tradisional yang diketahui dapat mengobati penyakit hati.
