the treatment strategy of colonic injuries is a debatable and highly controversial subject worldwide in various medical centers. the method of treatment of left and .. right colonic injuries, diversity or similarity in their management and particularly differences between the treatment of war-associated injury from other types of colonic damage are among the unsettled issues. the present study ...

Objective- To evaluate the some serum biochemical alterations after urinary diversion with colonic segment.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- five adult healthy mixed breed dogs of both sexes weighing between 25-40 kg. Procedures- In this approach, fifteen centimeters of the descending colon with preservation of its mesenteric vessels was resected and this segment longitudinally was op...

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and arises secondary to the progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations in normal colon cells, which results in a polyp-to-cancer progression sequence. It is known that individuals with a personal history of colon adenomas or cancer are at increased risk for metachronous colon neoplasms. One explanation for this incr...

Serrated polyposis is a rare disorder characterised by the presence of multiple serrated polyps in the large intestine, and an increased personal and familial risk of colorectal cancer. Knowledge of the molecular characteristics of colonic lesions which develop in this syndrome is fragmented, making it difficult to understand the underlying genetic basis of this condition. We conducted a system...

copy (ESGE) and the European Society of Digestive Oncology (ESDO) joined forces for this second symposium in the Quality in Endoscopy series and invited leaders in the field of colonoscopy and colonic neoplasms, alongside young rising stars. Sixty-seven abstracts were submitted and 30 were finally accepted. Over 200 endoscopists attended the symposium. The meeting took place in a modern and ver...

The Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, a genodermatosis characterized by benign tumors of the hair follicle, has been associated with renal and colonic neoplasms and spontaneous pneumothorax, but the risk of developing these disorders is unknown. We identified risk factors for renal tumors and spontaneous pneumothorax in 98 patients affected with the Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, in 13 Birt-Hogg-Dubé haplotyp...

Energy metabolism of human colon cancer in vivo relies predominantly on glucose. Although studies have revealed increased expression of Glut1 mRNA in colon cancer, Glut1 protein (Glut1) expression in the large intestine and its significance are still unknown. The objective of this work was to determine whether Glut1 is present in human colorectal neoplasms and whether that presence is of biolog...

The flavone 4',5,7-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone (tricin) present in rice, oats, barley, and wheat exhibits antigrowth activity in several human cancer cell lines and anti-inflammatory potential. However, the chemopreventive activity has not yet been elucidated in preclinical animal models of colorectal cancer. This study was designed to determine whether dietary tricin exerts inflammation-...

Integrins are transmembrane molecules that mediate celi-celi and cell-substratum adhesion. Because alterations in the adhesive properties oftumour cells are thought to influence tumour cell invasion, the expression of integrin a and j3 chains in 19 human colorectal carcinomas, eight adenomas, and eight normal colon tissues was examined immunohistochemically using an indirect immunofluorescent t...

background esophageal, stomach, and colorectal cancers are commonly lethal gastrointestinal tract (git) neoplasms, causing almost two million deaths worldwide each year. some environmental risk factors are acknowledged; however, genetic defects can significantly contribute to predisposition to git cancers. accordingly, recent works have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) within m...
