The prevalence of CYP2C19 mutations in Turkish patients with dyspepsia.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This is the first study investigating CYP2C19 polymorphism in dyspeptic Turkish patients. Our investigation revealed that the most common CYP2C19 genotype was wild type CYP2C19 in dyspeptic Turkish patients. Dyspeptic Turkish patients are extensive metabolizers for proton pump inhibitors. This finding might have impact on the clinical consequences for the treatment strategies in dyspepsia.

Apoptosis in selected liver diseases.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cell death by apoptosis usually occurs in a regulated, limited fashion. Only selected target cells are deleted in the process of ontogeny, development and regeneration. In contrast, under pathophysiological conditions, apoptosis imposes as a massive, chaotic, non-selective event that may occur for periods or even up to decades. It is likely that apoptosis is the initial cellular response to injury and may thus initiate several, intertwined cellular and cytokine cascades that culminate in tissue injury, inflammation, fibrosis and finally, in cirrhosis. Obviously, this cascade of events is of particular importance in var...

Effects of verapamil, sodium nitroprusside and glutathione addition into perfusion/preservation solutions on preservation-related ICAM-1 molecule expression in rat liver.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Addition of sodium nitroprusside and glutathione into the Wisconsin solution decreased levels of ICAM-1 molecule expression, which reflects lower levels of preservation injury. In this study, the addition of verapamil to the perfusate/preservation solution for reducing the intracellular calcium accumulation had no effect on tissue ICAM-1 molecule expression.

Aflatoxin exposure in viral hepatitis patients in Turkey.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: With this study, we have documented that in viral hepatitis patients, aflatoxin exposure is significantly higher than in healthy subjects in Turkey and it may play an important role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, large studies exploring the relation between aflatoxin exposure, viral hepatitis status, and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma development are needed.

Rotavirus-associated intussusception followed by spontaneous resolution.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Rotavirus was related to causing intussusception when the first generation rotavirus vaccine was introduced. However, the association between natural rotavirus infection and intussusception remains an area of concern and controversy. A few studies have found that rotavirus infection can cause intussusception. On the other hand, several studies were unable to find an association of intussusception with natural rotavirus infection. Herein, we describe a patient who developed intussusception following rotavirus diarrhea during the course of hospitalization and recovered by spontaneous resolution the next day. This rotavir...

A patient with nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and incidental metachronous colon carcinoma detected by positron emission tomography: Case report.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, computerized tomography/magnetic resonance imaging and octreotide scintigraphy may be insufficient to show disseminated disease and asymptomatic second primary malignancies. Therefore, positron emission tomography is a valuable promising option for the evaluation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and concomitant or metachronous malignancies. Lifelong follow-up by a multidisciplinary oncology team is needed so that a long-term survival can be achieved with integrated multimodal systemic treatment approaches.

Spontaneous hepaticoduodenal fistula functioning like a bilioenteric anastomosis following bile duct injury: Case report.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of spontaneous hepaticoduodenal fistula following bile duct injury. Initially, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy had been planned for the patient, but as the patient did not show any symptoms or findings of biliary obstruction, we preferred a non-operative management. The fistula allowed adequate biliary drainage, and the patient has been followed regularly by the outpatient clinic with good clinical results for approximately five years.

Pseudoascites: Report of three cases.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present three cases with giant intra-abdominal cysts (one mesenteric cyst, two ovarian) that were initially misdiagnosed as refractory ascites in another hospital. On ultrasound examination, displacement of bowel loops to outside the fluid without dispersion of fluid around the liver and spleen were the main findings suggesting the possibility of giant intra-abdominal cysts in our patients. In all three patients, the diagnosis of giant intra-abdominal cysts was confirmed after their total excision. Clinicians must consider processes other than ascites in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal fluid accumulation. ...

We herein present a patient referred to our clinic with the complaints of flatulence and left upper quadrant abdominal pain who was diagnosed to have pancreatic cystic neoplasia radiologically. The septated cyst was defined to be 9x12 cm in diameter by abdominal computed tomography and by ultrasonography originated from the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy procedure with complete resection of the cystic lesion was performed in this patient. Pathologic examination revealed pancreatic cystic lymphangioma (PCL). Although PCL is very rare in adult patients, it can cause confusion due to the presence of other cys...

In conclusion, mesenteric heterotopic pancreatitis is seen very rarely and may be an unusual cause of acute abdomen. If the pathologic condition develops in the heterotopic tissue, as in the case of heterotopic pancreas, signs and symptoms of the disease may cause confusion in the clinical diagnosis.

The expression of matrix metalloproteinases in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar (Klatskin tumor), middle and distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and ampullary carcinoma: role of matrix metalloproteinases in tumor progression and prognosis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: When tumors of the biliary system are divided as intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, MMP-2 expression was present in the extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas including gallbladder carcinomas. Like the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, Klatskin tumors also did not express MMP-2. This can be related with its characteristic growth pattern. MMP-9 and MMP- 14 were present in metaplasia, dysplasia carcinoma sequence in all of the bile tract tumors, suggesting that MMPs play an important role in carcinogenesis. The higher expression of the MMPs with neural invasion suggests the significant role of those tum...

Surgical management of Mirizzi syndrome.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The essential part of the management of patients with Mirizzi syndrome is to determine the best surgical procedure in the preoperative period. In type I patients, simple cholecystectomy is generally enough, but sometimes T-tube insertion may be required, while the cases with types II-IV require more complex surgical approach, such as cholecystectomy and bilioenteric anastomosis. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is an appropriate procedure with good outcome. PMID: 19119478 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology)
