OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Erigeron breviscapus (Vant) Hand Mazz (HEr) in impeding oral leukoplakia carcinogenesis, and to seek effective Chinese herb medicine that can impede precarcinoma of oral mucosas. METHODS 132 golden hamsters were randomly divided into model group (60 animals), HEr group (60 animals), and control group 12 animals. Salley's leukoplakia carcinogenesis model of g...

Total restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RP/IPAA) has become the standard of care for the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis. Despite its correlation with an excellent quality of life and favorable long-term outcomes, RP/IPAA has been associated with several complications. Prolapse of the ileoanal pouch is a rare and debilitating complication that should be con...

Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard restorative procedure after proctocolectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who require colectomy. The ileal pouch is susceptible to a variety of insults including mechanical injury, ischemia, fecal stasis, and infectious agents. In addition, the development of recurrent and idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease and neoplasia may occu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of a low-pressure gastric band in the treatment of severe obesity in a prospective study. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Gastric banding for severe obesity has been associated with erosion and perforation of the stomach. The Swedish adjustable gastric band (SAGB) has been proposed as a low-pressure device. METHODS From January 1998 to October 2001, 625 patients underw...

Inhibition of gastric acid secretion is caused when the mucosa of the upper small intestine is bathed either by fat (Feng, Hou, and Lim, 1929), acid (Sokolov, 1904) or hyperosmolar solutions (Konturek and Grossman, 1965). The studies of Andersson (1960) suggest that the inhibition caused by acid in the duodenum is mediated by a humoral agent. There is therefore interest in the possible inhibito...

BACKGROUND Since January 1 2005, the outcomes of bariatric surgeries have been recorded in Germany. All data are registered prospectively in cooperation with the Institute of Quality Assurance in Surgery at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. METHODS Data are collected in an online data bank. Data collection began in 2005 for the results of Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass (RYGB). In addition to ...

I . The effects on gastric secretion of altering the amount and type of food eaten were examined in sheep with fundic abomasal pouches and in sheep which also had the antral region of the abomasum isolated into a pouch or removed (antrectomy). Secretion, which was continuous in all preparations, was collected over 24 h periods, and daily determinations of its acid and pepsin concentrations were...

background: the gold standard of the management of rectal cancer in the middle and lower parts is low anterior resection with coloanal anastomosis. about 50% of the patients undergoing this procedure might experience some complications because of the low capacity of the neorectum. the aim of this study was to evaluate ileal j-pouch interposition as a neorectum between the anal canal and the rem...
