Abstract: Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frustescens L ) is commonly in daily food. This study aimed to determine the effect of cayenne pepper to histopathological changes in gaster of Wistar rats induced by aspirin. This was an experimental study. Subjects were Wistar rats consisted of 5 rats as the negative control and 20 rats as the treatment group. Group A, the negative control group, was untreated; group B was treated with aspirin 21mg/day for 10 days; group C was treated with aspirin 21mg/day for 10 days together with cayenne pepper 84mg once daily; group D was treated with aspirin 21mg/day for 10 days followed by cayenne 84mg twice daily; and group E was treated with aspirin 21mg/day for 10 days and then was untreated for 3 days. The histopathological changes in group C showed a lot of inflammatory cells and erosion of gastric mucosa epithelium compared to group B, D, and E. Group D also showed inflammatory cells but no erosion as in group C. Group E had less inflammatory cells than group B, C, and D. Conclusion: Administration of aspirin 21mg/kg BW for 10 days led to acute gastritis in Wistar rat. Administration of aspirin together with cayenne 84mg/day led to acute gastritis and erosion of gastric mucosa epithelium. However, administration of cayenne pepper 168mg/day after aspirin led to acute gastritis without erosionKeywords: pepper, gaster, aspirinAbstrak : Cabe Rawit (Capsicum frustescens L.) banyak dijumpai dalam makanan sehari-hari.

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.

Abstract: Empirically, sweet condensed milk is often consumed by gastritis patients with acute gastritis to relieve the symptoms of epigastric pain. Its amphoteric acidity (pH 6,5 - 6,7), sweet taste, nutritional and oligosaccharides contents are some factors that are predicted to influence the relieve of epigastric pain. Acute gastritis can be induced by NSAIDs, such as mefenamic acid. This study aimed to reveal the histopathological features of the gaster of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with mefenamic acid and fed with sweet condensed milk. This was laboratory experimental study using 21 Wistar rats. Rats were divided into three groups (seven rats in each group). Group A was the negative control, group B was induced with mefenamic acid 23,25 mg/day for seven days, and group C were induced with mefenamic acid 23,25 mg/day and administered with sweet condensed milk 0,8 ml/day simultaneously for seven days. All rats were terminated on day 8. The results showed that histopathological features of the gaster of Wistar rats had less inflammatory cells and more regenerated cells than that of rats in group B. Conclusion: Histopathological features of gaster of Wistar rats induced with mefenamic acid and treated with sweet condensed milk showed milder signs of acute gastritis and better cell regeneration than that of Wistar rat not treated with sweet condensed milk.Keywords: Sweet Condensed Milk, Acute Gastritis, Histopathological Abstrak: Berdasarkan pengalaman empiris, susu kental manis sering dikonsumsi oleh penderita gastritis akut untuk meredakan keluhan nyeri epigastrium pasien.

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.

Background: Aspirin is amongst the most widely used drugs and has many adverse effects on gastric mucosa. Anti-inflammatory properties of Acacia catechu have been established already. Objective was to evaluate the histopathological changes induced by aspirin in the stomach of albino rats and to assess the protective effect of different doses of Acacia catechu.Methods: Experimental study Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore for 21 days. Forty-eight adult albino rats, both males and female, were divided into four groups A, B, C and D randomly; each comprising of 12 rats. Group A was control, group B was given aspirin 100 mg/kg and group C and D were given aspirin 100 mg/kg along with Acacia catechu 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg respectively by oral route. The rats from individual group were sacrificed on 3rd day, 7th day and 14th day and stomachs were examined under light microscope to observe the inflammatory cells infiltration.Results: Gross and microscopic findings on days 3, 7 and 14 were similar. Control groups A1, A2 and A3 showed normal healthy gastric mucosa and the least number of inflammatory cells. In group B, aspirin produced ulcerations and linear breaks; with highest inflammatory infiltrates. On microscopic examination, numerous inflammatory cells were noted. Group C and D rats had minimum ulcer index and fewer inflammatory cells.Conclusions: Acacia catechu has protective role against gastric injury by inhibiting inflammation.

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+).

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).

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran histopatologi hati dan otot rangka wistar yang diberikan AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan dosis tinggi. Subjek penelitian 21 ekor wistar yang dibagi menjadi 7 kelompok. Kelompok A diberi pelet standar selama 56 hari (kontrol negatif), terminasi pada hari ke-29, 43, dan 57. Kelompok B diberi perlakuan AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan pelet standar selama 28 hari, terminasi hari ke-29. Kelompok C diberi AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan pelet standar selama 42 hari, terminasi hari ke-43. Kelompok D diberi AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan pelet standar selama 56 hari, terminasi hari ke-57. Kelompok E diberi perlakuan AAS injeksi dosis tinggi dan diberi pelet standar selama 28 hari, terminasi hari ke-29. Kelompok F diberi perlakuan AAS injeksi dosis tinggi dan diberi pelet standar selama 42 hari, terminasi hari ke-43. Kelompok G diberi perlakuan AAS injeksi dosis tinggi dan diberi pelet standar selama 56 hari, terminasi hari ke-57. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada kelompok A didapatkan gambaran histopatologi hati normal sedangkan pada otot tidak terdapat perubahan. Pada kelompok B didapatkan arsitektur hati masih normal dengan sedikit sel radang disekitar segitiga Kiernan sedangkan pada otot terlihat diameter miofibril ratio 1,28:1. Pada kelompok C dan D terlihat pelebaran arteri hepatika, duktus biliaris, dan vena porta yang berisi fibrin darah, serta sel-sel radang di sekitar segitiga Kiernan. Pada kelompok C diameter miofibril ratio 1,43;1 dan pada kelompok D 2,14:1. Pada kelompok E, F dan G terdapat sel-sel perlemakan mikrovesikuler di perifer sedangkan pada otot diameter miofibril ratio kelompok E 1,43:1, kelompok F 2,1:1, dan kelompok G 2,28:1. Simpulan: Pada pemberian AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan dosis tinggi kurang dari 4 minggu terjadi peradangan hati, pelebaran vena porta, arteri hepatika dan duktus biliaris sedangkan lebih dari 4 minggu terdapat perlemakan (steatosis) fokal hati. Pemberian AAS injeksi dosis rendah dan tinggi dalam waktu 4,6 dan 8 minggu menunjukkan pembesaran otot rangka (hipertrofi otot).Kata kunci: AAS, hati, otot rangka
