METHODS: A total of 59 subjects who had complaints suggesting GERD underwent esophagogastroduoden oscopy. Endoscopic and histopathologic diagnosis of reflux esophagitis was established by Savary-Miller and Vandenplas grading systems, respectively. Esophageal biopsy specimens were taken from the esophagus 20% proximal above the esophagogastric junction for conventional histopathological examination and the measurements of ROS and cytokine levels. ROS were measured by chemiluminescence, whereas IL-8 and MCP-1 levels were determined with quantitative immunometric ELISA on esophageal tissue. Esophageal tissue ROS, IL-8 and MCP-1 levels were compared among groups with and without endoscopic/histopathologic esophagitis. RESULTS: Of 59 patients 28 (47.5%) had normal esophagus whereas 31 (52.5%) had endoscopic esophagitis. In histopathological evaluation, almost 73% of the cases had mild and 6.8% had moderate degree of esophagitis. When ROS and chemokine levels were compared among groups with and without endoscopic esophagitis, statistical difference could not be found between patients with and without esophagitis. Although the levels of ROS, IL-8 and MCP-1 were found to be higher in the group with histopathological reflux esophagitis, this difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the grade of esophagitis is usually mild or moderate during childhood and factors apart from ROS, IL-8 and MCP-1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of reflux esophagitis in children.

Fulden; Basaran, Gul; Yildizeli, Berdrettin; Kodalli, Nihat; Ahiskali, RenginEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. Various reports document metastatic or concurrent epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in several sites, most commonly with combined lung and liver involvement. The concurrent involvement of multiple sites at presentation may cause diagnostic problems because epithelioid hemangioendothelioma can mimic other neoplastic processes. Although it is a chemoresistant disease, chemotherapy is usually advised for patients with metastatic or concurrent involvement. Here we document the presentation, treatment, and outcome of two cases with concurrent involvement of the lung and liver.Publication Metadata only Vascular endothelial growth factor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha and CD34 expressions in early-stage gastric tumors: Relationship with pathological factors and prognostic impact on survival(KARGER, 2007) ÇELİKEL, ÇİĞDEM; Cabuk, Devrim; Basaran, Gul; Celikel, Cigdem; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, P. Fulden; Iyikesici, M. Salih; Ekenel, Meltem; Turhal, N. SerdarBackground: Angiogenesis is one of the key steps in solid tumor growth and metastasis. We planned to investigate the prognostic significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and CD34 expressions as markers of angiogenesis in gastric cancer. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 51 gastric cancer patients who had total or subtotal gastrectomy at Marmara University Hospital from 1990 to 2004 and evaluated the expression of VEGF, HIF-1 alpha and CD34 by immunohistochemistry in their archival tumor tissues. We recorded the clinical and pathological characteristics of these patients and analyzed their survival outcome. Results: Thirty out of 51 patients were males. The median age was 63 years (range 34-81). The median follow-up was 17 months. Thirty-six patients had node-positive disease. The majority of patients (n = 43) had T2 and T3 disease. Vascular and lymphatic invasions were present in 57 and 77% of tumors, respectively. VEGF and HIF-1 alpha were positive in 65 and 71% of tumors. The median CD34 staining score was 19 (3-68). VEGF, HIF-1 alpha and CD34 expressions were more frequent in tumors without serosal invasion (p = 0.01, p = 0.01 and p = 0.003, respectively). CD34 expression was significantly more frequent in tumors with VEGF and HIF-1 alpha expression (p = 0.00, p = 0.00). HIF-1 alpha expression was more frequent in tumors with VEGF expression (p = 0.00). The 5year overall survival was 45%. VEGF, HIF-1 alpha, CD34 expressions and other pathological characteristics were found to have no impact on survival. Conclusion: VEGF, HIF-1 alpha and CD34 expressions were more common in tumors without serosal invasion. As a future perspective, biological agents targeting VEGF and HIF-1 alpha might be more effective at earlier stages of gastric cancer. Copyright (c) 2007 S.

T., Sen L., Celikel Ç., YEGEN B.Foregut duplication cyst of the stomach is an extremely rare disease entity. A 35-year-old Korean man presented with epigastric pain. An abdominal cystic mass, measuring 7 ¥ 6 ¥ 5 cm, was found in the lesser curvature of the stomach. The cyst was unilocular with a grey-white, rubbery wall. Microscopically, the cyst wall was lined by pseudostratified ciliated, columnar epithelium and gastric mucosa with a complete lining of smooth muscle bundles. Although the origin of this lesion remains uncertain, this case suggests that the gastric cyst arose from the embryonic foregut and showed differentiation toward respiratory and gastric structures.Publication Metadata only Serum prolidase and IGF-1 as non-invasive markers of hepatic fibrosis during four different periods after bile-duct ligation in rats(SPRINGER, 2008) ÇELİKEL, ÇİĞDEM; Tarcin, Orhan; Gedik, Nursal; Karakoyun, Berna; Tahan, Veysel; Sood, Gagan; Celikel, Cigdem; Tozun, NurdanAim Our aim was to study the correlation of serum prolidase and insulin like growth factor-1 to liver collagen and assess their utility as markers of fibrosis during four different periods of hepatic injury and fibrosis after bile-duct ligation in rats. Methods Forty-eight Wistar albino rats were included in the study and divided into six groups. Seven rats served as the control group (Control), while seven rats had a sham operation (Sham group). Thirty-four rats underwent bile-duct ligation. Bile-duct ligated (BDL) animals were sacrificed at the end of the first week (Group 1; n = 8), second week (Group 2; n = 8), third week (Group 3; n = 9), or fourth week (Group 4; n = 9) after BDL. Liver collagen, liver prolidase, and serum prolidase and IGF-1, were determined. Results There was a positive correlation between liver collagen and serum prolidase (r(s): 0.843, P < 0.001) levels and a negative correlation among liver collagen and serum IGF-1 levels (r(s): -0.667, P < 0.001). The peak levels of liver collagen and serum prolidase were reached in the third week while the lowest levels of IGF-1 were found at the end of the third week. Conclusion Serum prolidase and IGF-1 either independently or in combination correlate with liver collagen content in hepatic fibrosis.
