Colonoscopy revealed longitudinal ulceratlon in the terminal ileum and rectal aphtoid ulcers, After treatment with mesalamine and total parenteral nutrition, repeat colonoscopy revealed a granular elevated area in the terminal ileum, which appeared as an irregular dome-like elevation with irregularly arranged vill on magnifying endoscopy. Biopsy specimens taken from the region showed microgranulomas and lymphoid hyperplasia, Scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of M cells, conthming that the area corresponded to Peyer's patches. Peyer's patches by magnifying endoscopy and electron microscopy may provide insights into the pathogenesis oF CD.展开更多

Methods: Wistar rats (n = 130) were subjected to deep thickness burn injury (30% TBSA, III degree), at two different altitudes. 60 of them were given delayed fluid resuscitation (DFR, n = 30 at each altitude) 6 h after burn at different altitude;60 of them were carried out immediate fluid resuscitation (IFR, n = 30 at each altitude);10 rats were subjected to 37°C warm water as sham burn (SG, n = 10). The Peyer’s patches were harvested from the ileum of rats at different time point after burn respectively. The expression of HIF-1 alpha, CD3(+) and the apoptosis and number of T lymphocyte in Peyer’s patches were detected by tissue microarray technology and immunohistochemistry. Results: The apoptosis was higher in DFR group than that in IFR group. The increase in HIF-1 alpha expression was observed mainly on cell nucleus in T lymphocytes. The expression levels of HIF-1 alpha in Peyer’s patches were much higher in DFR group and IFR group than those in SG, and they were higher at high altitude (3848 metres) than those at lower altitude (1517 metres), and also higher in DFR group compared with IFR group (all P < 0.05). The expression levels of CD3<sup>+</sup> in Peyer’s patches were much lower in DFR group and IFR group than those in sham group, and the lowest value appeared at 12 hours after burn (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: High expression of HIF-1 alpha may induce the apoptosis of T lymphocytes in Peyer’s patches after severe burn with delayed fluid resuscitation in rats at plateau.展开更多

HGMPE is uncommon with endoscopic studies reporting a prevalence ranging from less than one percent to 18%.Most HGMPE are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during endoscopy for evaluations of other gastrointestinal complaints.Most consider HGMPE as clinically irrelevant entity.The clinical significance of HGMPE is mainly acid related or neoplastic transformation.The reported prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms varies from less than 20%to as high as 73.1%.However,most of these symptoms are mild. Clinically significant acid related complications such as bleeding,ulcerations,structure and fistulization have been reported.Although rare,dysplastic changes and malignancies in association with HGMPE have also been reported.Associations with Barrett's esophagus have also been reported but the findings so far have been conflicting.There are still many areas that are unknown or not well understood and these include the natural history of HGMPE,risk factors for complications,role of Helicobacter pylori infection and factors associated with malignant transformations.Follow-up may need to be considered for patients with complications of HGMPE and surveillance if biopsies show intestinal metaplasia or dysplastic changes.Despite the overall low incidence of clinically relevant manifestations reported in the literature,HGMPE is a clinically significant entity but further researches are required to better understand its clinical significance.展开更多

METHODS:Sixty-eight patients with esophageal inlet patches were identified from 6760 consecutive patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy prospectively.In these 68 patients with cervical inlet patches, symptoms of globus sensation(lump in the throat), hoarseness,sore throat,frequent clearing of the throat,cough,dysphagia,odynophagia of at least 3 mo duration was questioned prior to endoscopy. RESULTS:Cervical heterotopic gastric mucosa(CHGM) was found in 68 of 6760 patients.The endoscopic prevalence of CHGM was determined to be 1%.H.pylori was identified in 16(23.5%)of 68 patients with inlet patch.53 patients were classified as CHGMⅡ.This group included 48 patients with globus sensation,4 patients with chronic cough and 1 patient with hoarseness.All the patients who were H.pylori(+)in cervical inlet patches had globus sensation.CONCLUSION:Often patients with CHGM have a long history of troublesome throat symptoms.We speculate that disturbances in globus sensation are like non-ulcer dyspepsia.展开更多
