Giriş-Amaç
Ülseratif kolit, kolonu diffüz tutan mukozal inflamasyonla karakterize rekürren, idiyopatik ve kronik bir hastalıktır. Kolitde, oksidan/antioksidan dengenin bozulduğu gözlenmiştir. N-asetilsistein ve β-glukan ise antioksidan, anti-inflamatuvar özellikte olan maddeler olup kolitde yararlı etkilerini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Materyal-Metod
220-250 gr 50 adet erkek Wistar Albino rat kullanıldı.
Grup I (Kontrol):Tek doz rektal saline uygulandı, sonrası 6 gün normal besin verildi.
Grup II (Kolit):Tek doz rektal asetik asit uygulandı, sonrası 6 gün normal besin verildi.
Grup III (β-Glukan+Kolit):Tek doz oral 100mg/kg β-glukan verildikten 1 saat sonra rektal asetik asit uygulandı. Sonraki 6 gün oral 100/mg/kg/gün β-glukan verildi.
Grup IV (N-asetilsistein+Kolit):Tek doz oral 200mg/kg N-asetilsistein verildikten 1 saat sonra rektal asetik asit uygulandı. Sonraki 6 gün oral 200mg/kg/gün N-asetilsistein verildi.
Grup V (N-asetilsistein+β-glukan+Kolit): Tek doz oral 200mg/kg N-asetilsistein+100 mg/kg β-glukan verildi. 1 saat sonra rektal asetik asit uygulandı. Sonraki 6 gün oral 100 mg/kg/gün β-glukan + 200 mg/kg/gün N-asetilsistein verildi.
Çalışmanın sonunda kalın barsak distal 8 cm’lik kısmı çıkarıldı. Histopatolojik ve biyokimyasal inceleme için örnekler alındı.
Bulgular
Tedavi alanlar da almayanlara göre MDA ve MPO düzeyleri anlamlı düşük; SOD, KAT düzeyleri ise anlamlı yüksek olduğu gözlendi. Tedavi grupları arasında, MDA ve MPO düzeylerinde anlamlı fark yoktu. Diğer antioksidan enzimler (SOD, KAT); N-asetilsistein grubuyla β-glukan grubu arasında anlamlı fark yok iken kombinasyon verilen grupta antioksidan savunma, N-asetilsistein grubundan anlamlı olarak düşük gözlendi. Histopatolojik skor ortalamaları değerlendirildiğinde kontrol ve tedavi grupları arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi.
Sonuçlar
N-Asetilsistein ve β-glukan’ın kolitde faydalı olduğu izlendi. N-asetilsistein ve β-glukan ‘ın kombine verilmesinin ek bir fayda sağlamadığı gözlendi.

Introduction and Aim
Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic and chronic disease characterized by diffuse mucosal inflammation. Oxidant and antioxidant balance is impaired in tissue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of N-acetylcysteine and β-glucan against colitis.
Materials and Methods
220-250 g average, 50 male Wistar-Albino rats, were used. Single dose rectal acetic acid was applied for colitis. β-glucan 100 mg/kg/day and N-acetylycteine 200mg/kg/day were given with oral probe.
Group I (Control): Single dose rectal saline+normal diet.
Group II (Colitis): Single dose rectal acetic acid+normal diet
Group III (β-Glucan+Colitis): Single dose β-glucan 100 mg/kg (1 hour before rectal asetic acid) + Rectal acetic acid + β-glucan 100 mg / kg / day (during next 6 days).
Group IV(N-asetilsistein+Colitis): Single dose N-acetylycteine 200 mg/kg (one hour before rectal asetic acid) + Rectal acetic acid + N-acetylycteine 200 mg/kg/day (during next 6 days).
Group V (N-asetilsistein+β-glucan+Colitis): Single dose N-acetylycteine 200 mg/kg and beta-glucan 100 mg/kg/day (one hour before rectal asetic acid) + Rectal acetic acid + N-acetylycteine 200 mg/kg/day and beta-glucan 100 mg/kg/day (during next 6 days).
End of the study, distal 8 cm colon was removed. Histopathologic and biochemical assesments were carried out.
Results
MDA and MPO levels were significantly low, SOD and KAT levels were significantly higher in monotherapy and combined therapy groups. MPO and MDA levels were not statistically different between treatment groups. For other anti-oxidant enzymes (SOD, KAT), there were no difference between NAC and BG group, but in combination group anti-oxidant defence was lower than NAC group. Microscobic evaluation revealed that damage score was lowest in NAC group, but no statistical significance was found between treatment groups. Conclusions
This study suggest that N-asetilsistein and/or b-glukan treatment modalities have beneficial effect in colitis. But combined therapy compared with monotherapy did not show additional beneficial effect.
