Murine Appendectomy Model of Chronic Colitis Associated Colorectal Cancer by Precise Localization of Caecal Patch
Published on: August 24, 2019
Abstract:
Fifty-two patients with necrosis of epiploic appendages (EA) of the colon were treated. Necrosis of EA of the appendix was diagnosed in 4 (7,7%) patients, caecum - in 7 (13,5%), ascending colon - in 5 (9,6%), descending colon - in 2 (3,8%), and sigmoid colon - in 34 (65,4%) cases. Multiple necrosis was revealed in 3 (5,8%) patients. Surgical treatment of these patients is radical and justified. It prevents progress of destruction and development of complications. Long-term results are evaluated for the first time.

Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
