Prognosis after resection of chronic regional ileitis.

Recurrence of the disease after resection of the diseased bowel is a well-recognized complication in the surgical treatment of regional ileitis. Published estimates of the recurrence rate, however, vary widely. Part of this variability is due to different lengths of follow-up, and part to the use of different definitions of recurrence and different methods of statistical analysis. These factors...

Enteroendocrine cells and 5-HT availability are altered in mucosa of guinea pigs with TNBS ileitis.

Enteroendocrine cells act as sensory transducers, releasing 5-HT and numerous peptides that are involved in regulating motility, secretion, and gut sensation. The action of mucosal 5-HT is terminated by a 5-HT reuptake transporter (SERT). In this study, we examined the hypothesis that ileitis leads to changes in enteroendocrine cell populations and mucosal 5-HT availability. Ileitis was induced...
