These AFMimages illustrated that quite a lot of type Ⅰ collagen appeared in the adsorption layer on hydrophilicsurface in a competitive adsorption state, but the adsorption of BSA was more preponderant than thatof type Ⅰ collagen on hydrophobic silicon wafer surface. The experiments showed that theinfluence of BSA on type Ⅰ collagen adsorption on hydrophilic surface was less than that onhydrophobic surface.展开更多

Colonoscopy revealed edematous mucosa,and histopathological examination was compatible with collagenous colitis. Protein leakage from the colon,particularly in the ascending portion,was identified on 99mTc-human serum albumin scintigraphy. Collagenous colitis associated with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) without small bowel disease was diagnosed. Prednisolone treatment ameliorated diarrhea and hypoproteinemia. Collagenous colitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic diarrhea with hypoproteinemia for appropriate management.展开更多
