Immunohistochemical Studies on Small Intestinal Mucosa in Kawasaki Disease

Cytokinetic studies of crypts in convoluted human small-intestinal mucosa.

Forty-seven peroral biopsy specimens of duodenojejunal mucosa showing convolutions were obtained from patients with a variety of clinical disorders. These mucosal samples were divided into three groups according to the extent of the convolutions and the severity of the accompanying histopathological changes; the cytokinetic status of the crypts in the three groups was then analysed and compared...

Intestinal pseudoobstruction in Kawasaki disease.

Intestinal pseudoobstruction is an uncommon but important manifestation of Kawasaki disease. Its occurrence at the onset or during the course of the disease may confuse the clinical picture and cause delay in diagnosis and treatment. This delay may be responsible for the high rate of coronary artery abnormalities that have been reported in patients with this complication. We suggest that Kawasa...

Glycoprotein Biosynthesis in Small Intestinal Mucosa

An active multiglycosyltransferase system involved in the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, and galactose to various glycoprotein acceptors was found in the rat small intestinal mucosa. The present studies are concerned with the subcellular localization of these glycosyltransferases. Satisfactory isolation of smooth and rough surfaced microsomes from the intestinal mucosa ...

Significance of a Flat Small-intestinal Mucosa.

Malignancy and the Small-intestinal Mucosa.

The observations presented here suggest that malignancy anywhere in the body may be accompanied by a secondary change in the small-intestinal mucosa, including the flattened appearance that is usually seen in idiopathic steatorrhoea. The reverse of this association, that idiopathic steatorrhoea may be complicated by a reticulosis, has been reported by Gough et al. (1962). They described four ca...
