Huangjin Shuangshen Decoction (HJSS) has been studied for its effects on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). The study investigates the impact of HJSS on inflammation and gastric mucosal barrier integrity.
Background
Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a significant precancerous condition that can progress to gastric cancer. Current treatment options are limited.
Data Highlights
Outcome
Effect of HJSS
Gastric mucosal atrophy
Alleviated
Histopathological injury
Improved
Inflammatory burden
Reduced
Apoptosis-associated injury
Attenuated
Recovery of CFTR, ZO-1, MUC5AC, Occludin, Claudin-1
Promoted
Key Findings
HJSS alleviated gastric mucosal atrophy and histopathological injury in CAG.
Improved gastric function indices were observed following HJSS treatment.
HJSS reduced inflammatory mediators and apoptosis-related markers.
Recovery of gastric mucosal barrier-associated molecules was enhanced by HJSS.
HJSS suppressed TNF/NF-κB signaling and reduced p65 nuclear translocation.
Clinical Implications
Clinicians should consider the role of multi-component herbal formulas in treating chronic gastric disorders.
Conclusion
HJSS is associated with effects on chronic atrophic gastritis, including anti-inflammatory effects and enhancement of gastric mucosal barrier recovery.
