biopsy
▪
The patients were given supplementation for one month and colonic biopsy specimens were taken before and at the end of the trial.
▪
Figure 2 illustrates lysozyme mRNA in a colonic biopsy specimen from a patient with longstanding ulcerative colitis.
▪
In colonic biopsy specimens from normal and colitic controls inappropriate staining is less evident.
cancer
▪
Therefore, of 180 patients eligible for colonic cancer surveillance in ulcerative colitis 160 were entered into the programme.
▪
Invitro, high extracellular calcium concentrations inhibit the proliferation of human colonic epithelial cells and several colonic cancer cell lines.
▪
A reduced fibre content of the diet on its own might be an important contributor to the development of colonic cancer .
▪
Of these 25 remain well; 13 ar unaccounted for, and one died from colonic cancer .
carcinoma
▪
The most important condition to exclude is colonic carcinoma .
▪
The colonic carcinomas were staged using Dukes's classification.
▪
There has been only one report that has identified epoxide hydrolase in colonic carcinomas , by western blot analysis.
▪
Therefore the relation between the ICAM-1 expression and the clinical course seems to be of diagnostic interest for colonic carcinoma .
▪
In conclusion it is justified to examine ICAM-1 expression as a potential prognostic risk factor for colonic carcinoma .
▪
The expression in colonic carcinomas of different forms of glutathione S-transferase has been investigated in several biochemical studies.
▪
Moreover, the same group of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes are probably involved in the development of colonic carcinoma .
disease
▪
Correlation with platelet count was particularly good in colonic disease .
▪
The change was due to the greater proportion of patients with colonic disease , which in this study had a worse prognosis.
▪
The incidence study has shown that there were more older patients and relatively more patients with colonic disease during the 1980s.
▪
These findings also reflect the higher proportion of elderly patients with colonic disease .
▪
Four patients had only ileal involvement and 16 had ileocolic or colonic disease .
epithelium
▪
Biochemical studies of normal colonic epithelium have shown that several different xenobiotic metabolising enzymes have a low activity in colonic epithelium.
▪
Results Deposits of formazan were found in the colonic epithelium , vascular endothelium, and infiltrating mononuclear cells.
▪
The colonic epithelium is in continuous contact with potentially carcinogenic compounds, which enter the body usually as part of the diet.
▪
Biochemical studies of normal colonic epithelium have shown that several different xenobiotic metabolising enzymes have a low activity in colonic epithelium.
motility
▪
Some patterns of normal colonic motility have begun to emerge, but specific abnormalities are yet to be defined.
▪
Most individuals experience the urge to defecate on morning awakening and after meals, when colonic motility is known to peak.
▪
There has recently been a revival of interest in changes in colonic motility in ulcerative colitis.
▪
As well as arousal from sleep and the complex effects of food and polypeptide hormones, neurotransmitters have been shown to affect colonic motility .
▪
Eating is an important stimulus for colonic motility in healthy human subjects.
▪
Although irritable bowel syndrome is commonly believed to be a colonic motility disorder, the evidence supporting this hypothesis is inconsistent.
mucosa
▪
Increased reactive oxygen species values in the inflamed colonic mucosa in rats were seen by chemiluminescence.
▪
N-acetyl-5ASA is the major metabolite of 5ASA and the primary site of metabolism is probably the colonic mucosa .
▪
The inflammatory cells were absent in the colonic mucosa of Crohn's disease patients examined in remission.
▪
Examination round to the caecum showed no abnormality and biopsy specimens showed normal colonic mucosa .
▪
We also examined whether upward expansion actually occurred in the background colonic mucosa by ex vivo autoradiography.
▪
Ultrastructural changes in colonic mucosa consistent with increased absorption have been described in ulcerative colitis, in both affected and unaffected areas.
▪
These cells infiltrate into the colonic mucosa and are abundant during the active phase of colitis.
▪
We used the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium to detect the generation of superoxide in inflamed colonic mucosa .
neoplasia
▪
More recently a series of anecdotal reports suggested that colonic neoplasia might be missed in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms or lesions.
▪
Biopsy specimens of normal colon were obtained from patients without any evidence of colonic neoplasia .
transit
▪
Formulae have been devised to measure segmental colonic transit with radio-opaque shapes.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Correlation with platelet count was particularly good in colonic disease.
▪
Figure 2 illustrates lysozyme mRNA in a colonic biopsy specimen from a patient with longstanding ulcerative colitis.
▪
In colonic neuropathies contractions were present, but their gastrocolonic response was absent and there were fewer HAPCs.
▪
The release of colonic regulatory peptides by bile salts does make physiological sense.
▪
The six children with no colonic contractions had a hollow visceral myopathy and constipation.
▪
The transit time in these patients was accelerated by a laxative, metoclopramide, and colonic lavage.
▪
There have been no extensive studies of xenobiotic metabolising enzyme expression in colonic adenomas.
