Since the amounts of hepatogenous enzymes discharged into the intestinal tract remain unknown, this study was initiated to evaluate the amounts of the enzymes in the intestinal tract. Whole gut lavage fluid (polyethyleneglycol electrolyte solution) was administered orally to 42 subjects, consisting
OBJECTIVE
We designed this study to investigate the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio as a biomarker in distinguishing colonic polyps which are neoplastic or non-neoplastic.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty-five patients with colonic polyps were enrolled into the study. The following data were obtained from
The presence of carcinoplacental alkaline phosphatase (CP Alk P) was demonstrated in the cells of malignant and premalignant states of the human stomach, colon and rectum using the immunoperoxidase technique. It was shown to be present in 7 out of 18 carcinomas of stomach and 7 of 17 cases of
RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of LAR (encoding the leukocyte-common antigen-related protein tyrosine phosphatase) in normal human colon mucosa, and colon polyps and tumors. Although the LAR protein was not detected in the colon in a previous immunohistochemical study, amplification of a
OBJECTIVE
Gastrointestinal polyps are commonly encountered during childhood and are one of the most common causes of rectal bleeding in this age group. Most polyps are benign and located in the colon, with the most frequent type being juvenile polyps. However, in older pediatric patients, if
OBJECTIVE
To investigate our clinical experience with the colonic manifestations of phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome ten (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) and to perform a systematic literature review regarding the same.
METHODS
This study was approved by the appropriate
Hereditary familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) in humans significantly increases the risk of development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Germline mutations in the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene are responsible for FAP. Despite having the same causative mutation, the severity of the disease
OBJECTIVE
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted in chromosome 10) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. Mutations of this gene are responsible for PTEN hamartoma tumor syndromes, including Cowden syndrome, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, Proteus syndrome, and Proteus -like syndromes.
OBJECTIVE
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted from chromosome 10) is a dual-specificity phosphatase implicated in embryonic development, intestinal cell proliferation and differentiation, and tumor suppression. The transcription factor Cdx-2 is critical in intestinal development and
OBJECTIVE
Juvenile polyps are benign hamartomas with neoplastic potential that are the most frequent gastrointestinal polyp of childhood. Most information about juvenile polyps in childhood comes from small published series that lack detailed outcome data. We sought to identify a large cohort of
Growth hormone (GH) excess in acromegaly is associated with increased precancerous colon polyps and soft tissue adenomas, whereas short-stature humans harboring an inactivating GH receptor mutation do not develop cancer. We show that locally expressed colon GH is abundant in conditions predisposing
There is considerable debate whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta (PPARbeta/delta) ligands potentiate or suppress colon carcinogenesis. Whereas administration of a PPARbeta ligand causes increased small intestinal tumorigenesis in Apc(min/+) mice, PPARbeta-null (Pparb-/-)
