Immune Basis of Therapeutic Effects of L. Polysaccharide on Chronic Peptic Ulcer Healing.

: Polysaccharides are complex molecules with a wide range of biological activities that can be used in various biomedical applications. In this work, the antiulcer effect and influence on the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines of . polysaccharide (STP) were studied. : The antiulcer effect of STP was studied in the Okabe chronic peptic ulcer model by evaluating the influence of STP on the ulcer index in Wistar rats, comparing it to omeprazole and ranitidine. Dose-effect analysis was also carried out. The level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines was studied using ELISA kits. : After treatment in the polysaccharide groups, ulcer healing is observed in 60-80% of cases, in the omeprazole group in 50%, and in the ranitidine group in 25%. STP intravenous injections lead to the formation of a more differentiated mucous membrane; no coarse scar tissue is formed, which is typical for control and comparison drugs. Glycan causes a significant acceleration of the healing of experimental peptic ulcers in rats. STP appears to modulate pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. On the fourth and tenth days, a significant decrease in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1b and IFN-γ was noted in the polysaccharide group compared to the control group, while the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 significantly increased. : Intravenous administration of STP leads to the restoration of functionality and effective tissue regeneration. The antiulcer activity of STP is based on the regulation of the pro- and anti-inflammatory balance.
