AbstractBackground: The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma in White males has been reported to be increasing. aims this study were determine: 1) the trends carcinoma United States with an emphasis on histologic type, sex, and ethnicity, 2) whether increase stage IV tumors can confirmed, 3) survival factors affecting survival. Methods: Data from SEER program National Cancer Institute submission dates 1973-98 used. Hispanics available for analysis only years 1992-98. Statistical was...
Acute renal failure (ARF) is rarely reported after bowel preparation with sodium phosphate. We report a patient mild Crohn disease (in remission), without history of disease, and normal baseline function, who developed ARF 14 days for colonoscopy oral A biopsy showed multifocal calcium phosphate deposition in the tubules against background diffuse chronic tubulointerstitial injury. Review literature suggested 2 distinct patterns context cleansing. One pattern characterized by ARF, which...

AIM:To compare effectiveness, safety, and cost of photodynamic therapy (PDT) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment Barrett's dysplasia (BD). METHODS:Consecutive case series patients undergoing either PDT or RFA at single center by a investigator were compared.Thirty-three with high-grade (HGD) had porfimer sodium photosensitzer 630 nm laser (130 J/cm), maximum 3 sessions.Fifty-three BD (47 low-grade -LGD, 6 HGD) step-wise circumferential focal using the HALO system
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a new member of the secretin/glucagon peptides family, being most homologous to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). The present study was designed investigate possible effect PACAP on rat gastrointestinal smooth muscle in vitro. We demonstrated that 1) reduced basal smooth-muscle contractions all portions tract, but VIP region-specific. inhibitory midcolon approximately 100 times greater than VIP. 2) significantly inhibited...
The purpose of this study was to determine prospectively whether p53 protein accumulation in biopsies Barrett's metaplasia (BM) is a predictor malignant progression, without relying on dysplasia grading.Sections formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from the initial 275 patients with BM, who had no high-grade (HGD) or oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), were stained for by immunohistochemistry. mean follow-up 41 months. p53-positive divided into four groups: scattered positive cells,...
ABSTRACT Aim This in vitro study evaluated the effect of different cavity disinfection agents on bond strength a silorane-based resin composite. Materials and methods Thirty-six caries-free human third mandibular molars sectioned mesio-distal direction were mounted acrylic with their flat dentin surfaces exposed. After wet ground # 600 silicon carbide paper, teeth randomly divided into 6 groups 12 each according to agents; chlorhexidine (CHX); sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), propolis, ozone,...
Abstract Context.—For a confident diagnosis of dysplasia in Barrett metaplasia, the epithelial atypia should also involve surface epithelium. However, pathologists are often faced with biopsies where crypts show dysplasia, but epithelium is either uninvolved or unevaluable. We previously grouped these cases indefinite for (IND). Objective.—To determine clinical significance IND grading metaplasia. Design.—All from 276 prospectively followed patients who did not have high-grade (HGD)...
Summary In this paper a series of 60 cases ulcerative colitis seen since 1960 at the Department Gastroenterology University Ankara School Medicine is presented. Symptomatology, clinical courses and complications disease in Turkish are discussed.
Although esophageal adenocarcinomas (EADCA) have been shown to substantially reduced or absent Fas expression, the status of ligand (FasL) in these tumors, especially adenocarcinomas, is largely unknown.Using immunohistochemistry, authors investigated FasL expression sections formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue from 13 EADCA. They also studied 15 squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCA) and lymph node metastases 7 EADCA 4 ESCCA. The percentage positive cells each tumor was recorded. compared...
