Abstract

Objectives: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of Thuocnamtieuu in AOM/ DSS-induced-colorectal tumors mice.


Subject and method: 48 six-week-old Swiss mice were randomly divided into 06 groups. Two doses of Thuocnamtieuu were administered via intragastric gavage to Swiss mouse with AOM/ DSS induced colorectal tumours. After 28 days treatment, all mice were sacrified. Assessment of the number and size of colorectal tumours, histopathological analysis were performed.


Results: The data have shown that Thuocnamtieuu has been effective in reducing significantly tumor volume (both benign and cancerous), but had not significantly decreased the number of tumors, reducing significantly the number of abnormal cells (cellular pleomorphism, Langerhang cells) in experimental colorectal cancer mice when compared to the control ones.


Conclusions: Thuocnamtieuu have the effect of reducing the colorectal tumors in a AOM/DSSinduced-colorectal tumors mice.
