目的：研究人参皂苷对胃癌细胞、大肠病细胞的作用。方法：采用噻唑蓝(MTT)比色法浏定胃癌38例、大肠癌40例癌细胞时人参皂苷及8种常用化疗药物的敬感性。结果：人参皂苷对大肠疮敏感，对胃痛不敏感，其作用明显低于5-氟脲嘧啶、丝裂霉素、平阳霉素、咪替派、足叶乙苷。结论：人参皂苷可用于配合其它化疗药辅助治疗肠癌及胃癌。

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of ginsenoside to the gastrocolic cancer cells. METHODS: The drug sensitivity to the cancer tissues from 38 cases of gastric carcinoma and 40 cases of colonic carcinoma has been made with a method of thiazole blue the determination (MTT).The drug sensitivity test involved ginsenoside and 8 kinds of common chemotherapeutic agents. RESULTS: Ginsenoside to colonic carcinoma was more sensitive in comparison with the gastric carcinoma.Its effect was obviously low than 5FU(fluorouracil),DDP(cis diaminedichloroplatin),MMC(mitomycine),PYM(ping yang mycin),TSPA(triethylenethiophosphoramide),VP16(vepeside). CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside as a adjuvant can be combined with some chemotherapeutic agents for the treatments of gastric and colonic carcinoma.
