Colonic motor patterns are both tonic and phasic contractions. Phasic contractions are, in most of the cases, short clustered and non propagated contractions, separated by long periods of motor rest, especially at night. However, the most characterized colonic motor patterns are high-amplitude propagated contractions, occurring mainly at awakening and after meals and promoting aboral movements of the colonic content. Colonic nervous structures are both intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic structures are the two plexuses of the enteric nervous system but also intestitial cells of Cajal. Extrinsic innervation plays a major role in modulating intrinsic nervous control, mainly after the meals that remain the major stimulant of colonic motility. Rectum and anal sphincters are essential for both defecation and continence. Their physiology involves smooth and striated muscles. The nervous control of recto-anal motility depends again from both intrinsic et extrinsic structures. Sensory nerves are key factor for continence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100426,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Hépato-Gastroenterologie","volume":"2 3","pages":"Pages 177-188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emchg.2005.01.007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92036053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It refers to an invasive procedure that must be performed by a trained physician, and which is indicated following consensual decision. Echo-guided biopsies and needle punctures of nodules reduce the risk of serious complications; these remain rare. The histological analysis of a HPB necessitates a tissue fragment sufficiently long (25 mm at least), multilevel incisions, and systematic coloration of iron and collagen. A pathologist familiar with hepatic diseases examines and classifies the elementary lesions, and then elaborates an interpretation of all these lesions taking into consideration the patient's clinical, biological, and radiological data. Anatomoclinical confrontation is necessary for a good understanding of the lesions and definitive diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry is frequently used in the research context; in daily practice, it is useful for the diagnosis of poorly differentiated tumours or metastases. In most lesional syndromes, histology confirms the diagnosis, indicates the aetiology, and guides the prognosis: chronic intrahepatic cholestasis, chronic hepatitis, steatosis and alcohol-induced hepatic disease, metabolic diseases, vascular diseases with hepatic microvascular disorder, unexplained portal hypertension, and tumoural syndromes. Using evaluation scores internationally recognized (METAVIR score for viral hepatitis) allows large-scale prognostic studies and therapeutic follow-up, with histology as the gold standard. In the next future, therapeutic advances (especially antiviral agents) and new markers of hepatic lesions will probably limit the indications of biopsy to well determined pathological contexts. However, to date, biopsy remains the only investigation that allows simultaneous, complete and precise evaluation of all anatomic lesions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100426,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Hépato-Gastroenterologie","volume":"2 3","pages":"Pages 284-296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emchg.2005.03.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89577273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carnivores, typically foxes, but also domestic dogs and cats are definitive hosts, harbouring the small adult tapeworms in their intestine. Many species of rodents act as intermediate hosts, allowing the liver development of the metacestode (larval stage) of <em>E. multilocularis</em>. Human is an aberrant host for the metacestode. Contamination occurs either by eating vegetables or wild berries tainted by the infected feces of the carnivores, or by touching these animals. This disease is observed only in the temperate northern hemisphere. The main endemic area are Alaska, Japan, China, Russia , Central Asia, Western Turkey and Central Europe. New factors seem to currently modify the epidemiology of alveolar echinococcosis and to cause an extension of the disease in new areas. Increasing fox populations, invasion of cities by foxes, probably contribute to these changes. The role of cellular immunity in the immune response against <em>E. multilocularis larvae</em> has been clearly established. A spontaneous secretion of IL-10 by the peripheral blood mononuclear cells and within the periparasitic granuloma is the immunological hallmark of patients with progressive forms of the disease. Genetic correlates of resistance or susceptibility to human alveolar echinococcosis have been indicated by analysis of human leucocyte antigen markers in a large group of European alveolar echinococcosis patients. Human alveolar echinococcosis is a potentially fatal, chronically progressive hepatic disease, that is characterized by a long asymptomatic period in which development of an invasive-tumour-like multi-vesiculated lesion occur. Vascular and biliary structures as well as adjacent organs may be involved in the parasitic process. There is, in addition, a risk of hematogenous spreading resulting in distant metastases. Unusually for a parasitic helminth infection, it is a life-threatening disease. Efficient drugs able to destroy the larva are currently lacking. A partial surgical resection is the only curative treatment in case of a rather limited disease, a situation which becomes more frequent due to the large use of abdominal ultrasonography. In case of large unresectable lesions, long-term administration of the parasitostatic benzimidazole derivates, albendazole or mebendazole and use of interventional radiology procedures are now able to stabilize the patients. Liver transplantation had been undertaken in some patients with very severe alveolar echinococcosis, mainly due to biliary complications. This ultimate therapeutic option must be preceded by a meticulous evaluation to identify extra-hepatic extension and need to be associated with long term benzimidazole therapy.
