摘要
为探讨大蒜对口腔癌前病变的预防作用及其机制,将32只Wistar大白鼠随机分为二组。大蒜组大鼠硬腭粘膜涂大蒜注射液,对照组涂等量蒸馏水;随后涂4-硝基喹啉氧化物;每周3次,共13周。结果显示,大蒜能有效地预防口腔癌前病变发生,且提示这种预防作用与大蒜提高自然杀伤细胞活性,改善T细胞功能及提高白细胞介素-2水平有关。
In order to study the effect and mechanism of garlic on preventing oral precancer, we divided randomly 32 Wistar rats into two groups. The garlic group was painted with garlic solution on the hard palatal mucosae. The control group was applied with distilled water that is equal in quantity. Then, chemical carinogen 4 nitroquinoline 1 oxide (4NQO) was painted on the same sites for both groups, three times weekly. Eight rats were randomly killed in the 10th, 13th week. The hard palatal mucosae were examined with light microscope. Meanwhile, lymphocytes were isolated from the rat spleens. The activation of natural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes, and level of interleukin 2 were determined by radioimmunoassay. The results revealed that garlic efffectively prevented oral precancer induced by 4NQO. This effect may be related to the following factors that garlic can improve the activation of NK cells, the function of T lymphocytes, and the level of IL 2.
