* Proctosigmoiditis is an Inflammation involved in the rectum and sigmoid colon (lower end of the colon).
The exact causes of UC are not cleared. Some researchers suggested there are a complex interaction of genetics, immune response, and environmental triggers that cause the onset of the disease.
The most common risk factors of UC include genetic preposition, autoimmune diseases, smoking, use of certain medications such as antibiotics, and smoking.
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China. The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the prevention of colitis, researchers examined the decursin and decursinol angelate-rich Angelica gigas Nakai (AGNE) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine ulcerative colitis (UC) in a mouse model.
In mice with DSS-induced UC, treatment with the AGNE at 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg exerted strong colonic protection and activity by alleviating decreased disease activity index scores, and reduced colon shortening and weight loss.
Some patients with UC may also have symptoms of weight loss, fatigue fever.

Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were also decreased in serum and colon tissue with the administration of AGNE.
Finally, the histological damage of the colon was also alleviated by AGNE treatment.
Collectively, researchers said, "The findings of this study verified that AGNE significantly improves clinical symptoms and reduces the activity of various inflammatory mediators. These results indicate the AGNE has the therapeutic potential in mice with DSS-induced UC".
