Uncoupling of biliary phospholipid and cholesterol secretion in mice with reduced expression of mdr2 P-glycoprotein

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
Mice in which the gene for mdr2 P-glycoprotein has been disrupted have a severe deficiency in biliary phospholipid and cholesterol secretion. We studied the relation between mdr2 gene expression and biliary lipid secretion with emphasis on the role of ...

Refractory strictures despite steroid injection after esophageal endoscopic resection

Endoscopy International Open, 2016
Background: Although steroid injection prevents stricture after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), some patients require repeated sessions of endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD). We investigated the risk for refractory stricture despite the

Hypoxia and gastrointestinal disease [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2007
The gastrointestinal mucosa is a richly perfused vascular bed directly juxtaposed with the anaerobic and nonsterile lumen of the gut. As such, intestinal epithelial cells, which line the mucosa, experience a uniquely steep physiologic oxygen gradient in comparison with other cells of the body.

A comparative study of grasping-type scissors forceps and insulated-tip knife for endoscopic submucosal dissection of early gastric cancer: a randomized controlled trial

Endoscopy International Open, 2016
Background and study aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) is technically difficult for beginners. Few comparative studies of technical feasibility, efficacy, and safety using various devices have been reported. This
