Four fecal proteins (hemoglobin, transferrin, albumin, and alpha 1-antitrypsin) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with colorectal diseases. Levels of all 4 proteins were significantly increased in patients with colonic cancer and ulcerative colitis (UC) compared
A 36-mo-old boy with Milroy's Disease, intestinal lymphangiectasia, and an exudative enteropathy (EE), was shown to have four colonic polyps. A large adenomatous polyp was excised from the transverse colon in an effort to control his EE and hypoalbuminemia (1.95 g/dl). His clinical status then
Undoubtedly, colonoscopy is the "gold standard" in the diagnosis of colorectal cancers. Sophisticated bowel preparation and risk of bowel perforation and bleeding, as well as the patient's discomfort during examination lead to low compliance in screening. Therefore, alternative non-invasive
OBJECTIVE
Several retrospective and prospective epidemiological investigations have demonstrated that a diet rich in carotenoids could prevent the development of pre-cancerous and neoplastic lesions of the digestive tract. The aim of this examination was to analyse the correlation between colorectal
BACKGROUND
Inflammation and nutrition are closely associated with initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of the FAR (FAR = 100*Fibrinogen/Albumin) and FPR (FPR = Fibrinogen/pre-Albumin) in CRC.
METHODS
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte
Objective: To clarify the endoscopic changes prior to corticosteroid therapy in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) patients and to explore the correlation between endoscopic features and clinical characteristics. Methods: A total of 24 CCS patients who were hospitalized in Peking Union
A 67-year-old man with nausea, appetite loss, frequent diarrhea and severe weight loss presented with alopecia, skin hyperpigmentation and onychodystrophy. Laboratory investigations showed mild anemia, hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia. Colonoscopy identified the numerous, hyperemic and sessile
Despite widespread use as well as epidemiologic indications, there have been no investigations into the effect of St. John's wort (SJW) extract on colorectal carcinogenesis in vivo. This study reports a systematic evaluation of the impact of dietary supplementation of SJW extract on
BACKGROUND
Epithelial dysplasia and adenomatous polyps of colorectum are precancerous lesions. Surgical removal is still one of the important treatment approaches for colorectal polyps.
METHODS
A male patient over 78 years was admitted due to bloody stool and abdominal pain. Colonoscopic biopsy
A series of recent studies has shown an association between low serum cholesterol level and cancer, particularly of the large bowel. To explore this issue, serum cholesterol measurements were collected from 244 patients with adenomatous polyps of the colon, 182 patients with Dukes' A or B colon
Antibody to chemically synthesized Fuc alpha 1----3 Gal-1----OC6H4N = N bovine serum albumin was developed. Specificity analysis using related synthetic saccharides was performed. The antisera were shown to be specific for both sugars in the disaccharide, to the 1----3 positional linkage and to the
Protein losing enteropathy (PLE), a very rare disease with hypoproteinemia and edema as its characteristics, is caused by various diseases resulting in protein depletion from the gut. The diagnosis is relatively difficult due to its complex pathogeneses. The present paper reported a case whose
In colorectal cancer the sentinel node dissection may help to identify any unusual mesenteric lymphatic drainage pattern from the primary tumor site (ex/skip metastases); assuming that accurate pathological staging is critical for therapeutic decisions we are conducing a study to evaluate the
A male patient with chronic bloody stool was diagnosed as juvenile polyposis at the age of 28. He had thirty to forty colonic polyps and some were removed endoscopically, while gastric polyps were too numerous to intervene. As the polyposis advanced gradually, the patient developed intractable
Oltipraz [5-(2-pyrazinyl)-4-methyl-1,2-dithiole-3-thione; RP 35972] is a synthetic, substituted 1,2-dithiole-3-thione previously used in humans as an antischistosomal agent. Cruciferous vegetables (e.g., Brussels sprouts, cabbage) contain several agents, including dithiolethiones, which appear to
