摘要
Objective: To study the effect of oral calcium supplementation on colonic crypt cell proliferation in patients with adenomatous polyps of the large bowel. Patients: The study included 20 patients (polyp group); a further 10 patients with disease-free colons served as controls. Patients from the polyp group were randomly assigned to one of the two following groups: group 1 received 1g calcium daily for 1 month and group 2 received 2g calcium daily for 1 month. Methods: Colonoscopic biopsies were performed before and after calcium supplementation. Cell proliferation was analysed using the monoclonal antibody to bromodeoxyuridine technique. Results: The mean number of labelled cells as a ratio of total crypt cells (Ll%) and their relative positions within the crypt were determined. Both calcium doses were found to reduce total Ll%. However, 2g calcium appeared to reduce proliferation profiles to those seen in normal colonic crypts. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that oral calcium may be a preventive treatment for those at risk of developing colorectal cancer.
