The Normal Stomach

Critical Normal Tissue and Radiation Injury: The Stomach

There is limited detailed information regarding morbidity and toxicity following radiation treatment in gastric cancer. The curative effectivity of external radiotherapy necessitates exposure of normal tissues with significant radiation doses, and hence must be associated with an accepted rate of side effects. Based on the time of first treatment, complications can range from the acute side eff...

Sexual Dimorphism in Histological Structure of Normal Rat Stomach

Fifty male and fifty female Spargue-Dawley rats were randomly chosen and used to study the sexual dimorphisms of stomachic histological structures. The rat stomach consisted of the nonglandular part and the glandular part. The gender differences of the nonglandular part existed in the thicknesses of the stratified squamous epithelium and the longitudinal muscle. These findings revealed that the...

Microbial Profile of the Stomach: Comparison between Normal Mucosa and Cancer Tissue in the Same Patient

Gastric cancer is the third most common cancer and the third most frequent cause of cancer mortality in Asia. It is predicted that gastric cancer will remain an important cause of death at least during the next half century because of the increasing number of new cases in an aging population. However, little has been revealed about the role of gastric microbes and their reaction to gastric canc...

Plasminogen activators in normal tissue and carcinomas of the human oesophagus and stomach.

Carcinogenesis in the human colon is associated with a marked increase of urokinase type plasminogen activator and a decrease of tissue type plasminogen activator. This study was performed to determine the concentrations of urokinase type plasminogen activator and tissue type plasminogen activator in normal tissue and carcinomas along the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Activity and a...
