Small bowel involvement is very common in Crohn’s disease. Ileocolonoscopy, cross-sectional imaging modalities, and video capsule endoscopy are the tools currently used to investigate such involvement. Herein we report case of a 47-year-old man with history ileocolic disease persistent, unexplained iron deficiency anemia. Capsule endoscopy, by accurately identifying small intestinal mucosal les...

objective(s): prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (nahs) but effect of nahs on mrna expression of prostaglandin e2 receptors (ep1, 3-4; eps) has not been investigated. therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of nahs on mrna expression of eps receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...

Mucosal endocrine cell hyperplasia is a poorly described phenomenon that may occur following neoadjuvant therapy in variety of gastrointestinal cancers. We describe two cases cohesive gastric carcinoma which underwent chemotherapy. Subsequent biopsy and resection showed the presence cells occurring singly micronests within deep lamina propria, showing typical reactivity with synaptophysin chrom...

BACKGROUND Although nasal polyps are one of the most frequent diseases, their etiopathogenesis remains unclear.Since eosinophils are the main inflammatory cells in the substantial proportion of nasal polyp tissues, they are considered potentially responsible for the etiopathogenesis and prognosis of the disease. Aim of this study was to investigate the relation between mucosal and peripheral eo...

Gastric mucosal disease is frequently recognised in equine practice, especially, but not exclusively, in actively performing race and competition horses. Although true ulceration is commonly seen in squamous mucosal disease (Figure 1), its subjacent glandular mucosal neighbour is affected more frequently by inflammatory and erosive lesions (Figure 2). Research efforts have helped provide us wit...
