Bleeding from foveolar hyperplasia developing on a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach

A 52‐year‐old Japanese woman who presented with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding underwent a proximal gastrectomy for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with a foveolar hyperplasia at the apex of the tumor, 4.5 cm in size, located in the upper body of the stomach. Although GIST are often asymptomatic and are found only incidentally, clinical symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal pain, or obstruction, occasionally lead to a premorbid diagnosis. When submucosal tumors present GI bleeding, the source of the bleeding usually is an ulceration of the mucosa over the tumor. However, in the present study, it was thought that the bleeding originated from the region of foveolar hyperplasia.     

In vitro growth of epithelial cells from mucosa derived from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract

Attempts have been made to culture the mucosa from various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, using an explant culture method, epithelial cells have been successfully cultured from all major regions of the gastrointestinal tract. The success rate, as judged by outgrowth of epithelial cells for at least 4 weeks, varied with the tissue studied with 19/50 colonic biopsies, 5/11 small intestinal biopsies, 9/12 stomach biopsies and 42/47 gallbladder biopsies yielding outgrowth of epithelial cells. Differentiation of the epithelial cells along the mucus cell pathway could be demonstrated on the monolayer cultures using Periodic acid Schiff or Alcian blue staining. Because the cultures were very heterogeneous and many morphological cell types were present in most cultures, differentiation along the other known differentiation pathways of the gastrointestinal mucosa, such as development of absorptive cells and endocrine cells, could not be excluded.
The problem of bacterial contamination, which has hindered previous studies on tissue from these sites, was overcome by decontaminating the biopsy by soaking in dilute sodium hypochlorite (0.04%).

无排卵性功能失调性子宫出血患者子宫内膜雌、孕激素受体及基质金属蛋白酶表达变化的研究

目的研究无排卵性功能失调性子宫出血(功血)患者子宫内膜雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)、IV型胶原、基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)及其抑制物-1(TIMP-1)的表达,探讨无排卵性功血的发病机制。方法采用免疫组化法检测20例正常增殖期子宫内膜(对照组)和66例无排卵性功血患者(病例组)子宫内膜腺上皮和基质细胞ER、PR、IV型胶原、MMP-9及TIMP-1表达。结果病例组子宫内膜腺上皮和基质ER、PR表达高于对照组(P<0.05),MMP-9水平明显增加(P<0.05),MMP-9/TIMP-1比值升高(P<0.01),IV型胶原含量明显下降(P<0.01)。相关分析显示,无排卵性功血患者子宫内膜MMP-9水平与ER、PR均呈正相关(r=0.605,P<0.05;r=0.697,P<0.05)。结论无排卵性功血患者子宫内膜出血原因可能与雌激素作用下ER、PR表达失调有关,且MMP-9水平异常升高,导致细胞外基质过度降解,临床表现为子宫不规则出血。     

ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF A DIEULAFOY‐LIKE LESION IN A DUODENAL DIVERTICULUM

We present a 70‐year‐old man who had two episodes of melena during the preceding 8‐year period. He had a Dieulafoy‐like lesion in a diverticulum in the third portion of the duodenum. While emergency endoscopy revealed neither apparent blood nor clots around the diverticular orifice, there was a non‐bleeding vessel in the fundus of the diverticulum. The vessel ceased bleeding after argon plasma coagulation and, since then, the patient has not experienced bleeding. In cases of gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure origin, duodenal diverticulum should be considered as a possible source of bleeding, even when endoscopy discloses no apparent bleeding.

Effect of female sex hormone supplementation and withdrawal on gastrointestinal and colonic transit in postmenopausal women

Females are disproportionately affected by constipation, which is often aggravated during pregnancy. Bowel function also changes during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The aim was to compare the effects of acute administration of female sex steroids on gastric emptying, small bowel transit and colonic transit in healthy postmenopausal subjects. A second aim was to determine whether withdrawal of the hormones was associated with a change in transit. Forty-nine postmenopausal females were randomized to receive for 7 days 400 mg day(-1) micronized progesterone, 0.2 mg day(-1) oestradiol, combination of the two, or placebo. Treatment groups were balanced on age. Participants underwent whole gut transit measurement by scintigraphy using a 99m-labeled technetium-egg meal and 111-labeled indium-charcoal via a delayed-release capsule. Transit measurement was repeated after withdrawal of the study medications. The primary endpoints were ascending colon (AC) emptying half-life time (t1/2) and colonic geometric centre (GC) at 24 h. Secondary analysis variables were GC at 4 and 48 h, gastric emptying t1/2 and colonic filling at 6 h. There was a significant overall effect of progesterone on colonic transit with shorter AC emptying t1/2 and significantly greater colonic GC at 48 h. No transit endpoints were altered by oestradiol or combined hormonal treatment relative to placebo. Oestradiol and progesterone resulted in looser stool consistency. Withdrawal of the hormone supplement was not associated with significant alteration in transit. Micronized progesterone does not retard colonic transit in postmenopausal females.
