{"title":"[Etiology of colorectal cancer].","authors":"M Matos Villalobos","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Colorectal cancer affect the 15% of general population in developed countries. Cancer is a multistep process in which multiple genetic alterations must usually occur in several years. The premalignant step consists of one or multiple aberrant crypts due to hyperproliferation of cells and its shift from the deep third of the crypt to its surface. It has been suggested that abnormality in the APC gene is responsible for this. Furthermore, there exists DNA hypometilation, activation of the gene K-ras and ornithine decarboxylase activity. There is also a loss of MCC gene, that seems to interact with the APC gene. Entire alterations described make possible the Class I adenoma formation. This adenoma, needs the loss of the DCC gene (late stage in the carcinogenesis process), to become a Class II adenoma. The following alteration is deleted and mutation of the p53 gene. There is also an activation of the c-myc oncogene. These two genes are important mechanisms for the conversion of a benign adenoma to a malignant one, adenoma with in situ carcinoma or Class III adenoma. This type of adenoma becomes carcinoma and metastatic stage, throughout inactivation of several tumor suppressor genes. Besides the hereditary APC alteration and other acquired genetic changes as described above there are other associated genetics, antigenics, and enzymes that have an important role in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Several carcinogenic factors have been described which also contribute in the adenoma and carcinoma formation: ulcerative colitis, acromegaly, familial history of colonic neoplasia, certain professions, smoking and drinking, consumption of red or processed meat, etc.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":75872,"journal":{"name":"G.E.N","volume":"48 4","pages":"264-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18562863","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}

Screening for early gastric cancer (EGC) detection began in 1981. It observes the Japanese model, with Indirect Radiological (IR) as the move to the various Municipalities, offering the screening test. Subjects with IR abnormalities receive an invitation for an endoscopic examination. If lesions at endoscopy, biopsies were taken. Treatable patients went to surgery; the diagnosis on the surgical specimen was fulfilled by trained Pathologists. CGs cases are actively followed up. From 1981 to 1992 we did 150.023 radiological studies 52.562 gastric endoscopies and 18,480 endoscopic biopsies. We diagnosed 612 CGs:450 were advanced: 102 patients with 113 EGCs with confirmation after surgery; 60 cases were suspected by radiology and endoscopy as EGCs but were nor confirmed because the patients were not operated. 89 patients underwent gastroectomies, and 13 endoscopy resections. The EGCs were depressed (Types IIc, III) in 49% elevated (Types I, IIa) 26%, flat (Type IIb) 6% and intermediate (Types IIa + IIc) 19%. The invasion was confined to the mucosa in 60% and to the submucosa in 40%. By histopathology 60% were differentiated and 40% undifferentiated. In 9% we found metastasis in lymph nodes, only in 2% of the mucosal ones. Survival of patients with EGC after 5 year was 93%. We think a secondary prevention can be done in high risk regions through an appropriate screening for EGC.","PeriodicalId":75872,"journal":{"name":"G.E.N","volume":"48 3","pages":"144-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18768924","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}

{"title":"[Reflux esophagitis].","authors":"C A Salas Coll","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Chronic Esophageal reflux induces reflux esophagitis, which is a common finding in gastroenterological practice. Reflux esophagitis produce symptoms like pirosis, regurgitation and in some cases respiratory complains resembling asthma or angina-like chest pain. The pathophysiology of this disease is based on a multifactorial origin, which usually results in the chronic evolution of the disease. In recent years, there have appeared new evidences pointing out to alterations in the relaxing mechanisms of the lower esophageal sphincter; however, some patients having reflux esophagitis show normal shincteric pressure. The sweep action of esophageal smooth muscle is a key point for sending back to stomach the eventually refluxed material; it has been demonstrated that this sweeping action is impaired in many patients having reflux esophagitis. Incompetence of lower esophageal sphincter seems to be related a local to neural alteration rather than to smooth muscle functional disturbance. Recent findings stablis a link between local nitric oxide release and relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Esophageal mucosaldisplay an intrinsic resistance to HCL, pepsin, bilis and enzymes deleterious action by a blockade of back-defusion of hydrogen ions contained in the refluxed material. Nevertheless, some other luminal and non-luminal factors are involved in this mucosalprotection. When these intrinsic resistance factors are abated, tisular lesions like ersion, ulcer and Barret's mucosal changes can occur; is of particular interest because its potential malignant evolution. Esophageal reflux usually resolves with medical treatmen, but in some particular cases surgical correction is indicated for improving the antireflux barrier.","PeriodicalId":75872,"journal":{"name":"G.E.N","volume":"48 3","pages":"179-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18768923","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}
