HYPOTHESIS Although genetic changes associated with the progression to Barrett esophagus and adenocarcinoma have been identified, changes in gene expression associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease have not been reported. We examined expression levels of several genes important in carcinogenesis and compared expression levels with alterations in esophageal acid exposure. PATIENTS, DESI...

In their recent paper on the origin of abnormality in a human simelian foetus Chandebois and Brunet (‘87) state that “the defects concerned both cephalic and abdominal regions.” From the photographs of the fetus and the limited description in the text, they have not made a case for true malformation of the cephalic region. What they have shown is oligohydramniotic (compressive) deformation. Thi...

The semidominant Danforth's short tail (Sd) mutation arose spontaneously in the 1920s. The homozygous Sd phenotype includes severe malformations of the axial skeleton with an absent tail, kidney agenesis, anal atresia, and persistent cloaca. The Sd mutant phenotype mirrors features seen in human caudal malformation syndromes including urorectal septum malformation, caudal regression, VACTERL as...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are two major inflammatory disorders of the intestinal wall collectively known as bowel (IBD). Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is most significant grave consequence IBD preceded by dysplasia in majority cases. In this review we aim to discuss various types found patients with CRC due IBD. A thorough literature search was conducted online databases suc...

introduction: definitive treatment of oral leukoplakia is very important because of its recurrences and malignant transformation depending on the location, clinical feature,degree of dysplasia and etiological factors. there are different kinds of treatment for this lesion, but using high power laser has some advantages like less pain, swelling, prevention of metastasis, edema, less bleeding (dr...

We list five acrothoracican barnacles of the order Lithoglyptida currently found in Taiwanese waters, including two new records, Trypetesa habei Utinomi, 1962 and Berndtiapurpurea Utinomi, 1950 and a new undescribed species of the genus Lithoglyptes. We also investigate the morphology and molecular genetics of Balanodytes taiwanus Utinomi, from its type locality, Taiwan. The original descriptio...

To identify cell surface molecules that define position in the mammalian nervous system, we previously characterized the binding of two monoclonal antibodies, ROCA1 and ROCA2, to adult rat sympathetic ganglia and intercostal nerves. The binding of ROCA1 is highest in rostral ganglia and nerves and declines in a graded manner in the caudal segments. ROCA2 labels the same cells in ganglia and ner...
