Genetic control of susceptibility of rats to gastro-carcinogenesis by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was studied in susceptible ACI strain rats, resistant Buffalo strain rats, and their F1 and F2 offsprings. Rats were given MNNG at a concentration of 83 micrograms/ml in drinking water for 32 weeks and sacrificed on week 72. The incidence of gastric adenocarcinomas in F1 was as low as that in Buffalo rats. The results showed that susceptibility to MNNG was controlled genetically and that the resistance of Buffalo strain rats was autosomal dominant. To clarify the mechanisms which determine susceptibility to MNNG, some biochemical parameters such as pH of gastric juice, glutathione content in the gastric mucosa and the binding of MNNG to DNA, were analysed. No difference was observed between ACI and Buffalo strains in regard to the events leading to the binding of MNNG to DNA.

Background: is a significant contributor to a range of gastrointestinal conditions, with conventional treatment methods primarily relying on antibiotics. However, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains has necessitated the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches.
Objectives: To determine the antibacterial potential of probiotic bacteria ( BLRH 260 and ) and four propolis extracts against and to analyze their impacts on body weight index and histopathological changes in -challenged Wistar rats.

The novel genetic model, the Wistar Kyoto More Immobile (WMI) inbred rat strain demonstrates increased stress reactivity and enhanced depression-like behavior compared to its nearly isogenic control, the Wistar Kyoto Less Immobile strain (WLI). Middle-aged (12 months) WMI females exhibited diminished fear, and spatial memory in the contextual fear conditioning and Morris Water Maze paradigms, respectively, compared to young animals (6 months) of both strains and to middle-aged WLIs.

Objectives: To observe the effect of penetrative needling of "Zhibian" (BL54) through "Shuidao" (ST28) on the expressions of internal and external apoptosis-related factors in mice with poor ovarian response (POR), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of POR.
Methods: Sixty-nine female C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into blank, model and acupuncture groups (=23 in each group). The POR model was established by gavage of tripterygium wilfordii polyglucoside suspension (50 mg·kg).
