The average age at discovery of nonfamilial polyposis coli is 29 years, but earlier identification occurs when children develop mucus in their stools, blood per rectum, frequency, and change in bowel habit. Generally, when the family history is known, children present to the surgeon for ...
Briefly, the dissected mucosal tissue was incubated in cal- cium and magnesium-free Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA) containing 2.5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Life technologies) and 1 mM dithiothreitol (Sigma-Aldrich) to remove mucus. ...
The submucosa of the duodenum is the only site of the complex mucus-secretingduodenal glands(Brunner’s glands), which produce a bicarbonate-rich alkaline mucus that buffers the acidic chyme as it enters from the stomach. The roles of the cells in the small intestinal mucosa are detailed in ...
of the human small intestine and its relation to human disease has been understudied. The small intestine is the major site for immune surveillance in the gut, and compared with the large intestine, it has greater than 100 times the surface area and a thinner and more permeable mucus layer....
(containing blood and mucus), and a palpableabdominal mass. Approximately 90% of intussusceptions are ileocolic; the remainder are ileo-ileocolic, colocolic or ileo-ileal. More than 90% have no pathological lead point and are believed to result from hypertrophy oflymphoid tissuesfollowing...
The duodenum was washed with ice-cold PBS, opened longitudinally, and cleaned of mucus with a coverslip. Next, villi were scraped off using a glass coverslip and collected with ice-cold PBS. Collected villi were filtered through a 70-µm cell strainer and cleaned with 20 ml of ice-...
Goblet cells are much fewer in number than absorptive cells in the small intestine but they increase in number from the duodenum to the lower ileum. They are important in the production of mucus, which remains on the surface of the mucosa as a viscous layer and acts as the first line of...
Patients with IBS present with disparate symptoms, for example, abdominal pain predominantly related to defecation, alternating diarrhea and constipation, abdominal distention, gas, and excessive mucus in the stool. A number of possible causes for IBS have been proposed, but none has been fully ...
