FIGURE 9

Illustrative presentation of gross and microscopic presentation. Gross presentation. Stomach (a, A) and liver (b,B) (white letters) after the increased intraabdominal pressure and medication (sc) (saline (5 ml/kg, left, stomach and duodenum with multiple small hemorrhagic lesions (a), and congested liver (b) presentation) or BPC 157 (10 ng/kg, right, stomach and duodenum, and liver A, B): 25 mmHg (30 min) (a, A), and 40 mmHg (30 min) (b, B). The camera attached to a VMS-004 Discovery Deluxe USB microscope (Veho, United States). Microscopy presentation. Stomach (a, A) and colon (b, B) (black letters) presentation in rats with the increased intra-abdominal pressure at 50 mmHg for 25 min treated at 10 min increased intra-abdominal pressure time with saline (control, a, b) or BPC 157 (A, B). The control group showed marked hyperemia and congestion of the stomach wall (a) and a reduction of the colonic crypts with focal denudation of the superficial epithelia (b). BPC 157-treated rats exhibit presentation close to normal gastrointestinal tract presentation (A, B). (HE; a, A, magnification ×100, scale bar 200 μm; b, B, magnification ×200, scale bar 100 μm).
