| Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a common disease of digestive system, which demonstrates pathological changes in focal and global gastric mucosa, with shrinkage and functional decrease in different level for gastric secrete. At present, CAG, especially with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and/or atypical hyperplasia, is considered to be precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC). Researchers have been focusing on CAG to pursuit for corresponding pathogenesis and pathological mechanism, which is not clearly defined up to today. CAG, a high occurrence and canceration disease, is considered as a kind of disorder resulted from multiple factors. No therapeutical strategy has been successfully developed with modern medical protocals. However, in traditional Chinese medicine fields, many exciting practices have been conducted in treating spleen and stomach disorders, which indicate a meaningful potential for CAG therapy.Hericium caput medusae is a kind of precious bacterium, which can eat and be used as medicine. In private, Hericium caput medusae's fruiting body is always used as a drug to treat CAG, superficial gastritis (SG), gastric ulcer (GU), duodenal ulcer (DU) and other gastropathies. The main components of the extracts from fruiting body after fermentation are polysaccharide, monosaccharide, protein, amino acids and so on. It has been proved that Hericium caput medusae is of great value for... |
