Optical molecular imaging in the gastrointestinal tract.
Recent developments in optical molecular imaging allow for real-time identification of morphologic and biochemical changes in tissue associated with gastrointestinal neoplasia. This review summarizes widefield and high-resolution imaging modalities in preclinical and clinical evaluation for the detection of colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer. Widefield techniques discussed include high-def...
متن کاملStress and the Gastrointestinal Tract I. Stress and hepatic inflammation
Swain, Mark G. Stress and the Gastrointestinal Tract. I. Stress and hepatic inflammation. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 279: G1135–G1138, 2000.— Stress is an everpresent part of modern life. The “stress response” constitutes an organism’s mechanism for coping with a given stress and is mediated via the release of glucocorticoids and catecholamines. Patients often complain of stress-re...
متن کاملImaging the Gastrointestinal Tract of Small Animals.
Animal models of human diseases are increasingly available and are invaluable for studies of organ pathophysiology. Megacolon, abnormal dilatation of the colon not caused by mechanical obstruction, involves the destruction of the autonomic nervous system innervating the colon. Animal models of megacolon include mouse models of Chagas disease and Hirschprung's disease. Small animal imaging has b...
متن کاملSyphilis infection throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract.
A 30-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with epigastric pain. A physical examination revealed epigastric tenderness and red eruptions on her face. Laboratory evaluation showed normal results for leukocyte count and serum protein level, but a slightly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 1.10mg/dL. The findings on serologic tests for syphilis, including rapid plasma regain a...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus infection of the human gastrointestinal tract.
BACKGROUND Current interest in cytomegalovirus (CMV) is largely due to an increase in the number of cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and organ transplantation in recent years. The proper recognition of CMV-infected cells in gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies is critical for effective treatment of this condition. METHODS A total of 6580 endoscopic mucosal biopsies from 6323 patients ...
