A70 MOLECULAR ARCHETYPE HETEROGENEITY IN ULCERATIVE COLITIS BIOPSIES

Pulmonary function in ulcerative colitis

 Abstract Background: Pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis (UC) is thought to be rare. There is not a definite document about the question that "Is the lung a target organ in inflammatory bowel disease?" The aim of the present study is to compare lung function between cases with UC and healthy controls. This study will also be of interest about searching the outbreak of pulmonary functio...

Increased expression of c-myc proto-oncogene in biopsies of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis.

The steady state levels of c-myc mRNA have been measured in RNA samples extracted from colonoscopic biopsies of inflammatory bowel disease patients obtained at routine endoscopy sessions. Biopsies were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen limiting the ischaemic time to less than 15 seconds, and can be stored for up to 96 hours before separation of RNA. Yields of RNA using biopsies were 0.137 (...

SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS

This is a preliminary report of 28 patients with ulcerative colitis who we surgically treated with "J" pouch endorectal pull-through operation from 1978 to 1996. All patients are continent with a median stool frequency of 4 times per day, no night soilage. low postoperative complications and one mortality due to pulmonary embolism.

Ulcerative oesophagitis in association with ulcerative colitis.

Ulcerative colitis is primarily a disease of the large bowel, but a wide variety of extracolonic complications of the disease are now recognized (Edwards and Truelove, 1964), and a number of these occur in other parts of the alimentary tract. In the mouth, aphthous ulcers and monilial infections arise as a result of the general debility caused by the colitis (Grieve, 1964). Gastritis and small ...
