Carbonic anhydrases in normal gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal tumours.
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) catalyse the hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate at physiological pH. This chemical interconversion is crucial since HCO3- is the substrate for several biosynthetic reactions. This review is focused on the distribution and role of CA isoenzymes in both normal and pathological gastrointestinal (GI) tract tissues. It has been known for many years that CAs are widely present ...
متن کاملCarbonic Anhydrase in Normal and Neoplastic Gastrointestinal Tissues
The carbonic anhydrases (CAs) catalyse the hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate at physiological pH. This chemical interconversion is crucial since HCO3 is the substrate for several biosynthetic reactions. Carbonic anhydrases are involved in many physiological processes connected with respiration and transport of CO2/bicarbonate between metabolising tissues and the lungs, pH homeostasis and electrol...
متن کاملUltrasound examination of the normal gastrointestinal tract.
The sonographic evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract regards experienced sonographers who are able to identify all abdominal and parenchymal structures. Transabdominal ultrasonography allows the evaluation of the entire digestive tract, starting with the oesophagus (especially the oesogastric junction), followed by the examination of the stomach, duodenum and small bowel, and ending with th...
متن کاملLower gastrointestinal tract tumours: diagnosis and staging strategies
In patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer, accurate assessment of tumour extent within and beyond the gut wall and detection of lymph node and distant metastases are of paramount importance in planning the surgical approach, in deciding whether neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy is necessary, and in determining the risk of tumour recurrence and overall prognosis. The utility o...
متن کاملLocalisation of neuroendocrine tumours of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
In order to localise neuroendocrine tumours of the foregut type (that is, of the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas), 18 patients were studied prospectively by endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography, transabdominal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. These 18 patients had a total of 25 primary tumour lesions which were verified histological...
