- 显著的一小部分儿科患者对这种标准组合疗法没有反应.
- 了解非反应机制对于优化治疗策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究对PPI和TS治疗有反应 (EoE-PPI-TSr) 和无反应 (EoE-PPI-TSnr) 的EoE儿童之间的食道转录,细胞和微生物区别.
- 为了将这些资料与健康对照进行比较.
主要方法:
- 在EoE患者和对照组的食道活检上利用了转录组学.
- 进行了差异基因表达分析,并通过EoE诊断面板 (EDP) 进行了验证.
- 采用了细胞组成的解构分析和微生物群的微生物丰富性分析,将发现与基因表达相关联.
主要成果:
- 确定了成千上万的非响应者和响应者之间差异性表达的基因,突出显示了非响应者中异性炎症,细胞因子信号传递和原形成的上调通路.

Barrett Esophagus-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
135
Individuals with Barrett's esophagus are often asymptomatic, but they may experience symptoms commonly associated with GERD, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Additional symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, unintentional weight loss, blood in the stool (which may appear black, tarry, or bloody), and episodes of vomiting.
To diagnose Barrett's esophagus, healthcare providers often recommend an endoscopy for those showing symptoms of acid reflux. The procedure...
