title: [A study on Mechanism of prevention and treatment of gastric ulcer with Os sepiella in rats].
abstract: The Os Sepiella maiudrone (OSM) could markedly inhibit the stress-induced gastric mucosal lesions and promote the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats were reported previously. In order to demonstrate its mechanism, the effects of OSM on acidity of gastric juice, combined mucus content in gastric wall, DNA synthesis, gastric movements, the gastric contents of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cAMP of gastric tissue were examined. The results showed that OSM could neutralize the gastric acid, promote the production of cAMP and PGE2 in gastric tissue. These suggested that the neutralization of gastric acid and enhancing the gastric mucosal cytoprotection by OSM would play a role in preventing and curing gastric ulcers in rats.
