The primary outcome of interest is rectal epithelial cell proliferation, as measured by Ki67 (mib-1) labeling. Expression of Ki-67 in colon epithelial cells will be detected following the standard IHC protocol of EnVision™+ System, HRP (DAKO).

Rectal Epithelial Cell Proliferation

The primary outcome of interest is rectal epithelial cell apoptosis as measured by TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling). The TUNEL assay is conducted to measure apoptosis of colon epithelium using DeadEnd Colorimetric TUNEL System (Promega). After all fields of each sample are measured, the final immunoreaction indices are generated automatically by setting algorithms as ''total positive area / total nuclear area. Apoptotic activity is also scored using standard morphologic criteria applied to H&E stained sections.

Rectal Epithelial Cell Apoptosis

Expression of COX-2 in rectal epithelial cells will be detected following the standard IHC protocol of EnVision™+ System, HRP (DAKO).

Rectal Epithelial Cell COX-2 Expression

Expression of 15-PGDH in rectal epithelial cells will be detected following the standard IHC protocol of EnVision™+ System, HRP (DAKO).

Rectal Epithelial Cell 15-PGDH Expression

Lipids will be extracted using the method of Folch-Lees
