Frequência e intensidade de lesões gastroduodenais em cães com mastocitoma cutâneoLedur, Gabriela Reis January 2015 (has links)
A síndrome paraneoplásica é definida como um conjunto de sinais e sintomas que acontecem distantes do tumor primário e de suas metástases. Nos mastocitomas, os sinais sistêmicos mais comuns são os sinais gastrintestinais secundários à liberação de histamina, heparina e outras substâncias bioativas contidas no interior dos mastócitos neoplásicos. Em decorrência da ação sistêmica destas substâncias, a ulceração gastrintestinal é a principal síndrome paraneoplásica descrita. Assim, o presente trabalho avalia a ocorrência de lesões gastroduodenais em cães com mastocitoma cutâneo no momento do diagnóstico, correlacionando seu aparecimento com a apresentação clínica da doença, aparência macroscópica do tumor, diferentes marcadores prognósticos pré-estabelecidos pela literatura e valores plasmáticos de histamina. Para tal, foram utilizados 41 cães da rotina clinico/oncológica do Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (HCV-UFRGS) com diagnóstico confirmado de mastocitoma cutâneo. Os animais foram avaliados clinicamente e, posteriormente, foram submetidos à cirurgia para exérese do tumor e exame endoscópico para avaliação do esôfago, estômago e porção proximal do duodeno. Todos os cães foram avaliados quanto a presença e a gravidade dos sinais clínicos, velocidade de crescimento tumoral, número e localização dos nódulos, tamanho tumoral, características macroscópicas do tumor, presença de metástase em linfonodo regional, classificação histopatológica, índice mitótico e valor de histamina plasmática, buscando-se estabelecer uma relação com o surgimento e a gravidade das lesões gástricas e duodenais. A análise macro e microscópica da mucosa gástrica e duodenal, não evidenciou lesões compatíveis com úlceração grave em nenhum dos cães avaliados. A ocorrência de sinais clínicos gastrintestinais foi observada em 41,5% dos casos e padrões inflamatórios, sugestivos de gastrite, foram evidenciados tanto no exame endoscópico quanto no exame histopatológico. Sendo assim, na população estudada, as lesões gastroduodenais observadas foram consideradas leves no momento do diagnóstico e não apresentaram relação estatística com as variáveis estudadas, sugerindo que a heterogenicidade da população possa ter contribuído para os resultados, ou ainda que outros fatores possam influenciar a degranulação dos mastócitos neoplásicos. / Paraneoplastic syndrome is defined as a set of signs and symptoms that are not related to the local effect of the primary tumor or its metastases. Gastrointestinal ulceration is the most common sign attributed to mast cell tumor’s paraneoplastic syndrome in dogs. In mastocytoma, release of histamine, heparin, and other bioactive substances by the neoplastic mast cells can lead to increased systemic action of these substances and induce gastrointestinal disturbances. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of gastroduodenal lesions in dogs with cutaneous mast cell tumor at the time of diagnosis and correlate them to the clinical presentation of the disease, tumor’s macroscopic aspects, neoplasic prognostic markers, and plasmatic histamine values. We evaluated 41 dogs with cutaneous mast cell tumor diagnosed at the oncology service of the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS-HCV). After clinical examination, as the animals underwent surgery to remove the tumor and endoscopy to evaluate the esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum was performed Presence and severity of clinical signs, neoplasms macroscopic characteristics, tumor size, number and location of neoplasic masses, tumor growth rate, presence of regional lymph node metastasis, histopathological classification, mitotic index, and plasmatic histamine concentration were determined and correlated with gastrodueodenal endoscopic findings. The macro and microscopic analyses of the gastric and duodenal mucosa showed no lesions compatible with ulceration in any of the pacients. The occurrence of gastrointestinal clinical signs was observed in 41.5% of cases and inflammatory patterns, suggestive of gastritis were evidenced in both endoscopic and histopathological examination; however, its correlation with the presence of mast cell tumor could not be established. Therefore, in this population, gastroduodenal lesions observed were considered mild at diagnosis and had no relation with the variables analyzed, suggesting that the heterogeneity of the population may have contributed to the results or that other factors may influence the degranulation of mast cells neoplastic.

Cytotoxic lymphocytes in children's cow's milk sensitive enteropathy of delayed typeAugustin, M. (Merja) 10 May 2005 (has links)
Abstract
Food hypersensitivities are becoming increasingly common worldwide. Previous studies indicate that cell mediated immunity has a role in delayed paediatric gastrointestinal food hypersensitivities, but the exact pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown. Cytotoxic activation of T-lymphocytes is known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease (CD). The pathogenetic mechanisms of cow's milk protein sensitive enteropathy (CMSE) are largely unknown. CMSE is a non-IgE related type of food hypersensitivity with variable gastrointestinal symptoms but no visible mucosal abnormalities on light microscopy. The diagnosis is based on an open or blinded elimination/challenge test, as the endoscopic, histological and laboratory findings are generally non-specific.
This thesis aims to characterize the role of lymphocyte cytotoxicity in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of CMSE in preschool and school aged children, including comparison with CD where the pathogenetic significance of cytotoxicity is well established. The study cohort consisted of 151 children, including 57 with untreated CMSE, 18 with treated CMSE, 24 with CD, and 52 controls. Using immunohistochemistry, the mucosal expressions of cytotoxic T cell-restricted intracellular antigen type 1 (TIA-1), perforin, granzyme A and B were analysed in the duodenal bulb and descending duodenum. Intraepithelial T-lymphocytes were labelled with CD3, alpha/beta and gamma/delta T cell receptor antigens. To determine the rates of overall and epithelial apoptosis as well as proliferation, the immunohistochemical TUNEL technique, M30 and Ki-67 antibodies were used. Serum levels of granzymes, CD30 and soluble Fas were studied using ELISA method.
The number of intraepithelial lymphocytes with TIA-1, perforin and granzyme A containing granules was increased in CMSE. This increase was related to antigen challenge and not a constitutional abnormality. The cytotoxic reaction in CMSE differed from that in CD by being of lesser magnitude, concerning predominantly the descending duodenum and not showing signs of cytotoxicity related epithelial destruction. The serum levels of GrA, GrB and CD30 were increased in both CMSE and CD, correlating with the number of duodenal CD3+, alpha/beta and gamma/delta+ intraepithelial lymphocytes.
The results strongly support the role of cell-mediated immunity in the pathogenesis of CMSE. Mucosal cytotoxic activation seems to be manifested by the release of cytoxicity related proteins in serum. This provides a new approach to the monitoring of intestinal immune activation which could help in diagnosis and in objectively monitored treatment response.

Role of Melatonin, Neuropeptide S and Short Chain Fatty Acids in Regulation of Duodenal Mucosal Barrier Function and MotilityWan Saudi, Wan Salman January 2015 (has links)
The duodenal epithelium is regularly exposed to HCl, digestive enzymes, bacteria and toxins, and sometimes also to ethanol and drugs. The imbalance of aggressive factors in the intestinal lumen and mucosal barrier function increases the risk of tissue injury and inflammation. The key components of the duodenal barrier function include mucosal permeability, bicarbonate transport and the secretion or absorption of fluids. This thesis aims to elucidate the role of melatonin, neuropeptide S (NPS) and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the regulation of intestinal mucosal barrier function and motility in the anesthetized rat in vivo and in tissues of human origin in vitro. Melatonin was found to reduce ethanol-induced increases in paracellular permeability and motility by a neural pathway within the enteric nervous system involving nicotinic receptors. In response to luminal exposure of ethanol, signs of mild mucosal edema and beginning of desquamation were observed in a few villi only, an effect that was not influenced by melatonin. Melatonin did not modify increases in paracellular permeability in response to luminal acid. NPS decreased basal and ethanol-induced increases in duodenal motility as well as bethanechol stimulated colonic motility in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, NPS was shown to inhibit basal duodenal bicarbonate secretion, stimulate mucosal fluid absorption and increase mucosal paracellular permeability. In response to luminal exposure of acid, NPS increased bicarbonate secretion and mucosal paracellular permeability. All effects induced by the administration of NPS were dependent on nitrergic pathways. In rats, administration of NPS increased the tissue protein levels of the inflammatory biomarkers IL-1β and CXCL1. Immunohistochemistry showed that NPS was localized at myenteric nerve cell bodies and fibers, while NPSR1 and nNOS were only confined to the myenteric nerve cell bodies. Perfusing the duodenal segment with the SCFAs acetate or propionate reduced the duodenal mucosal paracellular permeability, decreased transepithelial net fluid secretion and increased bicarbonate secretion. An i.v. infusion of SCFAs reduces mucosal paracellular permeability without any effects on mucosal net fluid flux. However, it significantly decreased bicarbonate secretion. Luminal SCFAs changed the duodenal motility pattern from fasting to feeding motility while i.v. SCFAs was without effect on motility. The systemic administration of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) induced increases in mucosal bicarbonate secretion and fluid absorption. An i.v. GLP-2 infusion during a luminal perfusion of SCFAs significantly reduced the duodenal motility. In conclusion, the results in the present thesis show that melatonin, NPS and SCFAs influence the neurohumoral regulation of intestinal mucosal barrier function and motility. Aberrant signaling in response to melatonin, NPS and to luminal fatty acids might be involved in the symptom or the onset of disease related to intestinal dysfunction in humans. / <p>Research funders and strategic development areas:</p><p>- Bengt Ihre Foundation (grant SLS-177521)</p><p>- Socialstyrelsen(grant SLS-176671)</p><p>- Erik, Karin, and Gösta Selanders Foundation</p><p>- Emil and Ragna Börjesson Foundation</p><p>- Uppsala University </p><p>- Ministry of Education of Malaysia</p><p>- Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia</p>

Perfil endoscópico da mucosa do intestino delgado na polipose adenomatosa familiar / Endoscopic profile of small bowel mucosa in familial adenomatous polyposisNava, Marianny Nazareth Sulbaran 20 December 2016 (has links)
Introdução: Pacientes com Polipose Adenomatosa Familiar (PAF) tem maior risco de desenvolvimento de carcinoma duodenal em comparação com a população em geral, sendo a classificação de Spigelman adotada como método de estadiamento da adenomatose duodenal em doentes com PAF. No entanto, a relação entre a gravidade da polipose duodenal e variáveis clínicas não é bem compreendida. Objetivos: 1) Avaliar, através do método endoscópico, a prevalência e a intensidade da adenomatose duodenojejunal em pacientes com PAF em nosso meio. 2) Verificar a associação de variáveis clínicas, com a gravidade fenotípica da adenomatose duodenal e ampular. Metodologia: Foram estudados prospectivamente, 62 pacientes com diagnóstico de PAF, atendidos no Ambulatório de Poliposes Intestinais do Departamento de Gastroenterologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo. Os pacientes foram submetidos à duodenoscopia, classificados segundo Spigelman e a presença ou não de adenomas ampulares. Os pacientes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: Estadio de Spigelman de 0 a II, e Estadio III e IV. Estes grupos foram relacionados com variáveis clínicas, tais quais: sexo, idade, antecedentes familiares positivos de PAF, tipo de cirurgia do cólon, e tipo de polipose colônica. Naqueles pacientes classificados como Spigelman III e IV foi realizada enteroscopia assistida por balão via anterógrada para avaliação do jejuno. Resultados: Quarenta e nove pacientes foram classificados como estadios de Spigelman 0, I ou II, e 13 pacientes como estadios III ou IV. A análise da correlação destes grupos foi estatisticamente significativa com a variável história familiar (p = 0,03). Naquelas famílias que apresentaram vários parentes inclusos neste estudo, observou-se estadio de Spigelman similar entre os diferentes parentes de cada família. Sete pacientes apresentaram adenomas menores da papila duodenal. A associação da presença de adenoma de papila com a variável manifestações extraintestinais (p= 0,009) foi estatisticamente significante na análise multivariável. Enteroscopia assistida por balão foi realizada em 12 pacientes, dos quais 10 apresentaram adenomas tubulares com displasia de baixo grau no jejuno proximal. Conclusões: 1. A prevalência da adenomatose duodenal avançada e de adenomas ampulares é clinicamente significativa na PAF em nosso meio. 2. A prevalência de adenomas jejunais em pacientes com adenomatose duodenal avançada é alta, apesar de não serem lesões clinicamente significativas. No entanto, enteroscopia deve ser indicada de forma individualizada em casos de polipose duodenal avançada na avaliação da extensão do acometimento jejunal. 3. A intensidade da adenomatose duodenal pode ser previsível a partir da gravidade da adenomatose duodenal de algum parente de primeiro grau. 4. A presença de manifestações extracolônicas reforça a necessidade de avaliação da região da papila de Vater, desde que houve associação independente entre a presença de adenomas ampulares e as mesmas / Background: Patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) have higher risk of duodenal cancer development compared with the general population. Spigelman classification has been adopted as the staging method of duodenal adenomatosis in patients with FAP. However, the relationship between the severity of duodenal polyposis and clinical variables is not well understood. Objectives: 1) To assess endoscopically, the prevalence and intensity of duodenojejunal adenomas in patients with FAP in our population. 2) To correlate clinical variables with the phenotypic severity of duodenal and ampullary adenomatosis. Methods: We prospectively studied 62 patients with FAP, attended at Intestinal polyposis Clinic of the Department of Gastroenterology, Clinics Hospital, University of São Paulo. Patients underwent duodenoscopy and were classified according to Spigelman and the presence or absence of ampullary adenomas. Patients were divided into two groups: Spigelman 0 to II and Stage III and IV. These groups were related to the clinical variables: gender, age, family history for FAP, type of colorectal surgery, and type of polyposis of the colon. Patients classified as Spigelman III and IV were submitted to balloon assisted enteroscopy for evaluation of the jejunum. Results: Forty-nine patients were staged as Spigelman 0, I or II, and 13 as stage III or IV. There was statistic significant correlation between these groups and family history (p = 0,03). Families that had several relatives included in this study showed that there was a similar Spigelman stage in different relatives of each family. Seven patients had minor ampullar adenomas. Association between ampullary adenomas and extraintestinal manifestations (p = 0.009) was statistically significant in multivariavel analysis. Balloon assisted enteroscopy was performed in 12 patients. Ten of those presented tubular adenomas with low grade dysplasia in the proximal jejunum. Conclusions: 1. The prevalence of advanced duodenal adenomatosis and ampullary adenomas is clinically significant in FAP patients of our population. 2. The prevalence of jejunal adenomas in patients with advanced duodenal adenomatosis is high, although lesions were not clinically significant. Indication for enteroscoDpy should be individualized in patients with advanced duodenal disease to evaluate jejunal disease. 3. The intensity of duodenal adenomatosis can be predicted upon the severity of duodenal polyposis of a first-degree relative. 4. The presence of extracolonic manifestations reinforces the importance for avaliation of the Vater Papilla since there was an independent association between ampullary adenomas and extracolonic manifestations

Prevalência de doença celíaca em pacientes dispépticos sem diarreia atendidos na Disciplina de Gastroenterologia e Endoscopia Digestiva do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto da UERJ / Prevalence of celiac disease in dyspeptic patients without diarrhea referred to the Gastroenterology Division at Pedro Ernesto University Hospital in Rio de JaneiroDialina da Conceicao Martins Machado 12 January 2011 (has links)
A Doença Celíaca (DC) é uma doença autoimune que afeta o intestino delgado de indivíduos geneticamente susceptíveis após contato com o glúten. Diversos estudos têm relatado aumento da prevalência ao longo dos anos. Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de DC em pacientes adultos sem diarreia encaminhados à Disciplina de Gastroenterologia do HUPE da UERJ para serem submetidos a Endoscopia Digestiva Alta (EDA).Comparar os resultados do histopatológico das biópsias duodenais com os resultados sorológicos, utilizando o anticorpo antitransglutaminase tecidual IgA (ATGt IgA). Métodos: Pacientes que foram encaminhados ao nosso serviço para serem submetidos a EDA entre Julho de 2008 e Julho de 2010, com idade entre 18 e 85 anos foram aceitos no estudo. Critérios de exclusão foram cirrose, neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal, HIV, uso de imunossupressores e anticoagulantes, diarreia, hemorragia digestiva e DC. Coleta de sangue para pesquisa do anticorpo ATGt IgA (utilizando KIT ORGENTEC - Alemanha), avaliação endoscópica e exame histopatológico das biópsias de segunda porção duodenal foram feitos para cada paciente. Biópsias foram avaliadas de acordo com o critério de Marsh modificado. Resultados: Trezentos e noventa e nove pacientes consecutivos (112 homens, 287 mulheres), média de idade 49,616,4 anos, variando de 18-85 anos, sem diarreia, foram prospectivamente aceitos. Os sintomas clínicos mais prevalentes foram dor abdominal em 99,5%, pirose em 41,1%, plenitude pós prandial em 30,6%, náuseas e vômitos em 21,3%. Os achados endoscópicos foram: normais em 41,6%, lesões pépticas (esofagite, gastrite, duodenite e úlceras) em 41,6%, hérnia hiatal em 5,5%, pólipos gástricos em 3%, neoplasias em 1,3% e miscelânea em 7%. DC foi endoscopicamente diagnosticada em 13 pacientes (3,3%) com mucosa duodenal exibindo serrilhamento das pregas em 8 (2%), diminuição do pregueado em 2 (0,5%) e mucosa exibindo padrão nodular e mosaico em 3 (0,75%). Os achados histopatológicos de duodeno foram normais em 96,7%, duodenites inespecíficas em 2,7% e 3 pacientes (0,75%) confirmaram DC pelos critérios de Marsh modificado (IIIa, IIIb e IIIc). O anticorpo ATGt IgA foi positivo (>10 U/ml) em 1,3% (5/399). Conclusão: Este estudo mostrou que a prevalência de DC em pacientes dispépticos sem diarreia atendidos na Disciplina de Gastroenterologia e Endoscopia do HUPE/UERJ foi de 0,75% (1:133). A acurácia diagnóstica do anticorpo ATGt IgA é boa para pacientes com Marsh III e achados endoscópicos sugestivos. Nenhum dos pacientes tinha alterações Marsh I ou II. A EDA se mostrou um excelente método de triagem para definir os pacientes com graus mais acentuados de atrofia e que se beneficiariam de biópsia e sorologia para confirmação diagnóstica. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho não justificam uma triagem rotineira de DC. / Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease that affects the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals after contact with gluten. Several studies have reported increased prevalence over the years. Objective:To determine the prevalence of CD in adult dyspeptic patients without diarrhea referred to the Gastroenterology Division at Pedro Ernesto University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro (HUPE- UERJ) to undergo esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD). Compare the results of histopathology of duodenal biopsies with the serological results using IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA anti-tTG). Methods: Patients with dyspepsia referred to our clinic to undergo EGD between July 2008 and July 2010, aged 18 and 85 years were enrolled into the study. Exclusion criteria were cirrhosis, gastrointestinal neoplasms, HIV, use of immunosuppressive drugs and anticoagulants, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding and CD. Samples for IgA anti-tTG antibody (using ORGENTEC KIT -Germany), endoscopic evaluation and histological examination of biopsies of the second duodenal portion were made for each patient. Biopsies were evaluated according to the modified Marsh criteria. Results: Three hundred and ninety-nine consecutive patients (112 men, 287 women), mean age 49.6 16.4 years, ranging from 18-85 years, without diarrhea, were prospectively accepted. The most prevalent clinical symptoms were abdominal pain in 99.5%, heartburn in 41.1%, postprandial fullness in 30.6%, nausea and vomiting in 21.3%. Endoscopic findings were normal in 41.6%, peptic lesions (esophagitis, gastritis, duodenitis and ulcers) in 41.6%, hiatal hernia in 5.5%, gastric polyps in 3%, cancer by 1.3% and miscellaneous 7%. CD was diagnosed endoscopically in 13 patients (3.3%) with duodenal mucosa exhibiting scalloped folds in 8 (2%), decreased in the number of folds in 2 (0.5%), nodular mucosa and mosaic pattern in 3 (0.75%).The histopathological findings of duodenum were normal in 96.7%, nonspecific duodenitis in 2.7% and 3 patients (0.75%) confirmed by the CD modified Marsh criteria (IIIa, IIIb and IIIc). IgA anti-tTG antibody was positive (>10U/ml) in 1.3% (5/399). Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalence of CD in patients without diarrhea seen at the Division of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, Pedro Ernesto University Hospital was 0.75% (1:133). The diagnostic accuracy of IgA anti-tTG is good for patients with Marsh III and suggestive endoscopic findings. None of the patients had Marsh I or II changes. The EGD has proved an excellent screening method to define patients with more marked degrees of atrophy and could benefit from biopsy and serology for diagnosis confirmation. The results of this study do not justify routine screening of CD.

A acurácia diagnóstica do anticorpo ATGt IgA é boa para pacientes com Marsh III e achados endoscópicos sugestivos. Nenhum dos pacientes tinha alterações Marsh I ou II. A EDA se mostrou um excelente método de triagem para definir os pacientes com graus mais acentuados de atrofia e que se beneficiariam de biópsia e sorologia para confirmação diagnóstica. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho não justificam uma triagem rotineira de DC. / Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease that affects the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals after contact with gluten. Several studies have reported increased prevalence over the years. Objective:To determine the prevalence of CD in adult dyspeptic patients without diarrhea referred to the Gastroenterology Division at Pedro Ernesto University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro (HUPE- UERJ) to undergo esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD). Compare the results of histopathology of duodenal biopsies with the serological results using IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA anti-tTG). Methods: Patients with dyspepsia referred to our clinic to undergo EGD between July 2008 and July 2010, aged 18 and 85 years were enrolled into the study. Exclusion criteria were cirrhosis, gastrointestinal neoplasms, HIV, use of immunosuppressive drugs and anticoagulants, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding and CD. Samples for IgA anti-tTG antibody (using ORGENTEC KIT -Germany), endoscopic evaluation and histological examination of biopsies of the second duodenal portion were made for each patient. Biopsies were evaluated according to the modified Marsh criteria. Results: Three hundred and ninety-nine consecutive patients (112 men, 287 women), mean age 49.6 16.4 years, ranging from 18-85 years, without diarrhea, were prospectively accepted. The most prevalent clinical symptoms were abdominal pain in 99.5%, heartburn in 41.1%, postprandial fullness in 30.6%, nausea and vomiting in 21.3%. Endoscopic findings were normal in 41.6%, peptic lesions (esophagitis, gastritis, duodenitis and ulcers) in 41.6%, hiatal hernia in 5.5%, gastric polyps in 3%, cancer by 1.3% and miscellaneous 7%. CD was diagnosed endoscopically in 13 patients (3.3%) with duodenal mucosa exhibiting scalloped folds in 8 (2%), decreased in the number of folds in 2 (0.5%), nodular mucosa and mosaic pattern in 3 (0.75%).The histopathological findings of duodenum were normal in 96.7%, nonspecific duodenitis in 2.7% and 3 patients (0.75%) confirmed by the CD modified Marsh criteria (IIIa, IIIb and IIIc). IgA anti-tTG antibody was positive (>10U/ml) in 1.3% (5/399). Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalence of CD in patients without diarrhea seen at the Division of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, Pedro Ernesto University Hospital was 0.75% (1:133). The diagnostic accuracy of IgA anti-tTG is good for patients with Marsh III and suggestive endoscopic findings. None of the patients had Marsh I or II changes. The EGD has proved an excellent screening method to define patients with more marked degrees of atrophy and could benefit from biopsy and serology for diagnosis confirmation. The results of this study do not justify routine screening of CD.

Perfil endoscópico da mucosa do intestino delgado na polipose adenomatosa familiar / Endoscopic profile of small bowel mucosa in familial adenomatous polyposisMarianny Nazareth Sulbaran Nava 20 December 2016 (has links)
Introdução: Pacientes com Polipose Adenomatosa Familiar (PAF) tem maior risco de desenvolvimento de carcinoma duodenal em comparação com a população em geral, sendo a classificação de Spigelman adotada como método de estadiamento da adenomatose duodenal em doentes com PAF. No entanto, a relação entre a gravidade da polipose duodenal e variáveis clínicas não é bem compreendida. Objetivos: 1) Avaliar, através do método endoscópico, a prevalência e a intensidade da adenomatose duodenojejunal em pacientes com PAF em nosso meio. 2) Verificar a associação de variáveis clínicas, com a gravidade fenotípica da adenomatose duodenal e ampular. Metodologia: Foram estudados prospectivamente, 62 pacientes com diagnóstico de PAF, atendidos no Ambulatório de Poliposes Intestinais do Departamento de Gastroenterologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo. Os pacientes foram submetidos à duodenoscopia, classificados segundo Spigelman e a presença ou não de adenomas ampulares. Os pacientes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: Estadio de Spigelman de 0 a II, e Estadio III e IV. Estes grupos foram relacionados com variáveis clínicas, tais quais: sexo, idade, antecedentes familiares positivos de PAF, tipo de cirurgia do cólon, e tipo de polipose colônica. Naqueles pacientes classificados como Spigelman III e IV foi realizada enteroscopia assistida por balão via anterógrada para avaliação do jejuno. Resultados: Quarenta e nove pacientes foram classificados como estadios de Spigelman 0, I ou II, e 13 pacientes como estadios III ou IV. A análise da correlação destes grupos foi estatisticamente significativa com a variável história familiar (p = 0,03). Naquelas famílias que apresentaram vários parentes inclusos neste estudo, observou-se estadio de Spigelman similar entre os diferentes parentes de cada família. Sete pacientes apresentaram adenomas menores da papila duodenal. A associação da presença de adenoma de papila com a variável manifestações extraintestinais (p= 0,009) foi estatisticamente significante na análise multivariável. Enteroscopia assistida por balão foi realizada em 12 pacientes, dos quais 10 apresentaram adenomas tubulares com displasia de baixo grau no jejuno proximal. Conclusões: 1. A prevalência da adenomatose duodenal avançada e de adenomas ampulares é clinicamente significativa na PAF em nosso meio. 2. A prevalência de adenomas jejunais em pacientes com adenomatose duodenal avançada é alta, apesar de não serem lesões clinicamente significativas. No entanto, enteroscopia deve ser indicada de forma individualizada em casos de polipose duodenal avançada na avaliação da extensão do acometimento jejunal. 3. A intensidade da adenomatose duodenal pode ser previsível a partir da gravidade da adenomatose duodenal de algum parente de primeiro grau. 4. A presença de manifestações extracolônicas reforça a necessidade de avaliação da região da papila de Vater, desde que houve associação independente entre a presença de adenomas ampulares e as mesmas / Background: Patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) have higher risk of duodenal cancer development compared with the general population. Spigelman classification has been adopted as the staging method of duodenal adenomatosis in patients with FAP. However, the relationship between the severity of duodenal polyposis and clinical variables is not well understood. Objectives: 1) To assess endoscopically, the prevalence and intensity of duodenojejunal adenomas in patients with FAP in our population. 2) To correlate clinical variables with the phenotypic severity of duodenal and ampullary adenomatosis. Methods: We prospectively studied 62 patients with FAP, attended at Intestinal polyposis Clinic of the Department of Gastroenterology, Clinics Hospital, University of São Paulo. Patients underwent duodenoscopy and were classified according to Spigelman and the presence or absence of ampullary adenomas. Patients were divided into two groups: Spigelman 0 to II and Stage III and IV. These groups were related to the clinical variables: gender, age, family history for FAP, type of colorectal surgery, and type of polyposis of the colon. Patients classified as Spigelman III and IV were submitted to balloon assisted enteroscopy for evaluation of the jejunum. Results: Forty-nine patients were staged as Spigelman 0, I or II, and 13 as stage III or IV. There was statistic significant correlation between these groups and family history (p = 0,03). Families that had several relatives included in this study showed that there was a similar Spigelman stage in different relatives of each family. Seven patients had minor ampullar adenomas. Association between ampullary adenomas and extraintestinal manifestations (p = 0.009) was statistically significant in multivariavel analysis. Balloon assisted enteroscopy was performed in 12 patients. Ten of those presented tubular adenomas with low grade dysplasia in the proximal jejunum. Conclusions: 1. The prevalence of advanced duodenal adenomatosis and ampullary adenomas is clinically significant in FAP patients of our population. 2. The prevalence of jejunal adenomas in patients with advanced duodenal adenomatosis is high, although lesions were not clinically significant. Indication for enteroscoDpy should be individualized in patients with advanced duodenal disease to evaluate jejunal disease. 3. The intensity of duodenal adenomatosis can be predicted upon the severity of duodenal polyposis of a first-degree relative. 4. The presence of extracolonic manifestations reinforces the importance for avaliation of the Vater Papilla since there was an independent association between ampullary adenomas and extracolonic manifestations
