Abstract

343 white Wistar rats were divided into three groups of 113, 115 and 115 animals in each group. A control group received an injection of acetic acid into the wall of the antrum whereas the two other groups underwent first, in one group, a vagotomy and pyloroplasty, in the other, a pyloroplasty alone. In all the control animals there was observed, during the days following the injection, the existence of a severe antral ulcer. This ulcer improved with time upon 40th day, then around the 70th day appeared a second ulcer cycle. In the operated animals, the ulcers were definitively less frequent, and the course was linear without a second ulcer cycle. In the light of physiological and morphological evidence, it was shown that injection of acetic acid caused a submucosal lesion with a constant linear course towards the development of a callus which became hyalinised all the more quickly when it was submitted to endogenous agression by gastric juice. Above this callus, the gastric mucosa attempts to regenerate and, owing to the poor quality substratum, becomes ulcerated again, thus constituting the various cycles of peptic ulcer disease. Pyloroplasty and to a lesser degree, vagotomy-pyloroplasty, reduce stasis of the gastric juice an...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
