(1) During the performance of propulsive waves of the oesophagus the implanted vagus nerve caused clonic to tetanic contractions of the sternohyoid muscle, thus proving the oesophagomotor genesis of the reinnervating nerve fibres.
(2) In the present study, 125 oesophageal biopsies obtained under direct vision at endoscopy from 22 patients with Barrett's oesophagus were systematically studied using fluorescence and peroxidase antiperoxidase single and double-staining immunocytochemical methods employing highly specific antibodies to localize the following peptide-containing cell types in Barrett's mucosa: gastrin, somatostatin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, motilin, neurotensin and pancreatic glucagon.
(3) After a review of the technical development and application of staplers from their introduction to the present day, the indications to the use of this instrument in all gastroenterological areas from the oesophagus to the rectum as well as in chest, gynaecological and urological surgery specified.
(4) Tuberculous oesophagitis is a very rare finding; of all organs, involvement of the oesophagus is the least likely.
(5) We now report on the Singapore Chinese experience, in which the following changes were notable: decreases in rates of cancers of the stomach and oesophagus and increases in rates of cancers of the lung, colon, rectum, skin (excluding melanoma), breast and ovary.
(6) Exacerbation of inflammation due to repeated traumatization of the oesophagus wall was accompanied by proliferation of the epithelial layers.
(7) Each group of cattle consisted of six permanent members, two members fistulated at the oesophagus and one worm-free tracer calf.
(8) The chance discovery of an oesophageal localisation of Crohn's disease led the authors to undertake routine study of the oesophagus in their last 18 patients suffering from the disorder.
(9) A patient with scleroderma of recent onset was found to have a carcinoma of the oesophagus.
(10) The experiments were carried out in dogs and cervical oesophagus replacement was performed using a jejunal loop.
(11) Results suggested that immediate proper assessment of the oesophagus and institution of appropriate therapy may reduce the incidence of complications associated with treatment of subsequent stricture formation.
(12) Fifty-six patients were operated upon by the method of Amdrup and Jensen (1970), including skeletonization of about 2 cm of the oesophagus.
(13) The interaction between the epithelial and connective-tissue structures was studied on 70 scarry changes in the oesophagus at various times (from 1 year to 45 years) following chemical burns.
(14) The analysis comprised a total of 37 human tissue specimens derived from patients who underwent surgery for cancer of the oesophagus in Linxian County (People's Republic of China); for comparison 12 tissue samples obtained from hospitals in Europe were similarly analysed.
(15) Perforation of the oesophagus, as well as a pneumothorax are described as complications of the use of a nasogastric feeding tube.
(16) Four patients with leiomyoma of the upper or middle third of the oesophagus treated by surgical excision are reported.
(17) The two forks of the GIA or the PLC 50 instrument are introduced into the oesophagus and jejunum, and the two organs are brought together at the hiatus.
(18) There is no satisfactory biomarker yet available for predicting the likelihood of premalignant changes or carcinoma developing in Barrett's or columnar lined oesophagus.
(19) It is therefore recommended that Aqueous Dionosil be used in preference to Gastrografin or Iopamidol for studies of the oesophagus whenever there is a danger of aspiration of contrast agent into the tracheobronchial tree.
(20) The proximal part of the oesophagus and hindgut were free of immunoreactive perkarya.
