Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations and they may vary greatly in presentation, size, location and symptoms. The presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) in them is not common and they are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. We present the case of a child with long intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa who presented with just severe anaemia and delaye...

In this case presentation we aimed to discuss, with literature, a female patient with rarely seen sigmoid localized heterotopic gastric mucosa. An approximate 0.5 – 1 cm polyp was determined in the rectosigmoidoscopy of the 37-year-old female patient who had applied to the general surgery department with a constipation complaint. Heterotopic gastric mucosa was detected as a result of histopatho...

Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are a rare congenital malformation in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly seen ilium. The present study reported child with mid ileal cyst ofthe ectopic gastric mucosa that was diagnosed by Technetium-99m pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) scintigraphy. can massive lower bleeding early childhood (Mecke...

background : functional dyspepsia is considered one of the most common digestive diseases with tremendous cost and time expenditures for patients and health systems. an increase in the numbers of inflammatory cells such as mast cells and eosinophils are reported in the gastrointestinal mucosa of these patients. this study aims to determine the effects of histaminic receptor blockage on patients...

UNLABELLED The great many hormones released by the endocrine cells of the glands and lining epithelium of gastric mucosa determine its significance for the processes in the gastrointestinal tract. One of these hormones, serotonin, plays an important role in the regulation of the motility, secretion and sensation in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to conduct immunohi...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The EndoRotor(®) is a novel, non-thermal, automated mechanical endoscopic resection system designed to remove benign mucosal neoplastic tissue throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It uses suction pressure to pull in mucosa and rapidly and precisely cut it while automatically transporting the samples to a collection trap for later histologic evaluation. PATIENTS AND...

PURPOSE Hepatitis C virus (HCV) predominantly infects hepatocytes, although it is known that receptors for viral entry are distributed on a wide array of target cells. Chronic HCV infection is indeed characterized by multiple non-liver manifestations, suggesting a more complex HCV tropism extended to extrahepatic tissues and remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the gas...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are physiological regulators of growth and differentiation in the gastrointestinal tract, and we have previously shown that apoptosis induced in colonic cell lines by these compounds is dependent on their metabolism by B-oxidation in the mitochondria (B. G. Heerdt et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266: 19120-19126, 1991; Cancer Res., 54: 3288-3293, 1994). Because tumors in...

1. In a previous study we found that the protein synthesis rate was increased by 50-60% in the mucosa of the jejunum and ileum during sepsis in rats. It is not known if sepsis affects protein turnover in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract as well. 2. In the present study, the influence of sepsis on mucosal protein synthesis in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, from the stoma...
