This process triggers a peristaltic wave that consists of a circular contraction that travels distally at 2 to 4 cm/sec and transverses the entire esophagus in approximately 10 seconds. This act is termed "primary peristalsis." At the initiation of peristalsis, the lower esophageal sphincter (...
The cells were grown and expanded in standard tissue culture flasks and were passaged once they attained 100% confluence. The Caco-2 cells were then seeded on polycarbonate filter inserts (Costar; 12 mm diameter, 0.4 μm pore size) at a density of 5×105 cells/cm2 and incubated in six ...
Their primary purpose in examining many patients is to rule out an anatomically based problem such as cancer, which is causing the dysphagia. They may infer a poor swallow in patients with excess secretions in the HP. This examination is not a FEES procedure. The FEES protocol, as established...
Primary human oral keratinocytes were isolated from small pieces of the non-inflamed gingival tissues obtained during the extraction of the third molars of patients. HOK were cultured on collagen type I-coated culture dishes in keratinocyte growth medium (KGM). After the trypsinization of a culture...
Wangfang Library and CBM databases was conducted from the earliest data of each to May 2021.Studies were selected to compare the EOF protocol versus DOF protocol undergoing gastrectomy.The primary outcome assessed was anastomotic leaks.Secondary outcomes included time to passage of flatus,postoperative ...
The cannula, manufactured according to the present invention, is primary a divided cannula having two completely separate gas flow paths with each completely separate flow path communicating both with the nasal cavity, via one of the patient's nostrils, and the mouth or the oral cavity of the ...
The primary outcome of the safety part of the study was the acceptability of the phage products by the patients as determined by clinical observation and liver, renal and hematology tests described previously (Sarker et al., 2012, McCallin et al., 2013). The secondary endpoint was the ...
The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) randomized controlled trials; (2) adult patients (18 years older); (3) gastric cancer patients receiving oral feeding after gastrectomy; (4) data on the primary outcome (hospital days); and (5) detailed and appropriate early oral feeding and ...
We envision equipping the dosage forms with a safety mechanism that will enable disassembly in case of premature passage into the intestine. This could be a pH sensitive linker connecting the core to the peripheral arms, which is stable in the acidic environment of the stomach but dissolves in ...
Binding of ligands from oral bacteria or their biofilms, activates TRL2 in TLR2-bearing cells54,55and recruits adaptor protein myeloid-differentiation primary-response protein 88 (MyD88). This activates transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-activated kinase (TAK1), a pivotal pro-inflammatory fact...
