1. The Columnar Lined Esophagus. Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects
Abstract : There is a persisting controversy concerning the definition, etiology and pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus. The dramatic and parallel increase in the incidence of esophageal and junctional adenocarcinoma over the past decades justifies an evaluation of the pathophysiology of premalignant metaplastic changes of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction.

2. Defence capabilities of human intestinal epithelial cells
Abstract : The epithelial cells lining the intestinal mucosa separate the underlying tissue from components of the intestinal lumen. Innate immunity mediated by intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) provides rapid protective functions against microorganisms. Innate immunity also participates in orchestrating adaptive immunity.

3. Barrett's oesophagus and metaplasia at the oesophagogastric junction : an epidemiological approach
Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to estimate the prevalence of Barrett's oesophagus (B0) and related histological aberrations, to investigate agreement between endoscopy and histology regarding the diagnosis of BO and to investigate risk factors for BO paying particular attention to epidemiological aspects of the study design. We also investigated pancreatic acinar metaplasia (PAM) with special emphasis in its relation to gastro-oesophageal reflux and BO. READ MORE

4. Ligation-mediated Molecular Analysis of Influenza Subtypes, Splicing and Protein Glycosylation
Abstract : Binder-based assays are employed throughout the life sciences. Powerful signal amplification techniques have enabled detection of very rare molecule species diluted in simple buffers. Unspecific binding of primary binders leads to increased background in more complex samples. READ MORE

5. Benign and malignant gastric mucosal changes after partial gastrectomy
Abstract : The development of benign and malignant mucosal changes in the gastric remnant were studied early (1-3 years) postoperatively in 55 patients and late (10-24 years) postoperatively in 336 of 676 patients subjected to partial gastrectomy for ulcer disease.Chronic gastritis with atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and cystic dilatation of the gastric glands was found early postoperatively with the same prevalence in gastric and duodenal ulcer patients.
