Abstract
The etiology of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is not known. Various maternal and infant risk factors have been identified. Adoption of the non-prone position has reduced the incidence of SIDS but has not eliminated the problem. Some sulfate reducing bacteria in the colon produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is as toxic as hydrogen cyanide. Normally, the colonic mechanism for metabolizing and detoxifying H2S is very effective and no H2S appears in the exhaled breath although small amounts are present in the flatus. We are putting forth the hypothesis that in some cases of SIDS colonocytic mechanism for detoxifying H2S may not have matured by the age of 3 months and H2S may be absorbed resulting in SIDS. The hypothesis can be tested by in vitro evaluation of colonic tissue from SIDS cases for its ability to detoxify H2S.

Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis is being recognized more frequently among the adult patients. The disease is characterized by massive infiltration of the wall of gastrointestinal tract by sheets of eosinophils. The clinical features depend upon the site of involvement. They include dyspepsia, dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy. Eosinophilic esophagitis may present as chest pain, dysphagia or dyspepsia. The characteristic endoscopic feature of eosinophilic esophagitis is the formation of fine concentric mucosal rings (corrugated esophagus). Regarding the pathogenesis of these mucosal rings our hypothesis is that mast cells in the esophageal wall in response to allergens release histamine, eosinophilic chemotactic factor and platelet activating factor, etc. which activate eosinophils to release toxic cationic proteins. Activation of acetyl choline by histamine may cause contraction of the muscle fibers in the muscularis mucosae resulting in the formation of esophageal rings. This hypothesis can be tested by demonstrating the contraction of muscle layers of muscularis mucosae with the use of high frequency endoscopic ultrasonic probe introduced via the biopsy channel of an endoscope.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Fasting breath hydrogen has been reported to be low after fasting and polyethylene glycol ingestion. However, the relationship between fasting breath hydrogen and colonic preparation for colonoscopy has not been studied before. We evaluated fasting breath hydrogen in patients undergoing colonoscopy and correlated it with the quality of colonic preparation. METHODOLOGY One day before colonoscopy, the patients ingested clear liquid diet and starting in the afternoon the day before colonoscopy they drank polyethylene glycol 8oz every 10 minutes for 3 hours. They fasted overnight. Fasting breath hydrogen was measured using an EC 60 gastrolyzer. Colonic preparation was rated as excellent, fair or poor. The colonoscopic findings were noted. RESULTS There were 69 male patients. 89% had excellent or fair colonic preparation (Group A) 11% had poor preparation (Group B). Fasting breath hydrogen in Group B patients 14.5 +/- 1.5 ppm was significantly higher compared to that in Group A patients 2.2 +/- 0.2 ppm (p < 0.005 t-test). In other respects the two groups were similar. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing colonoscopy after polyethylene glycol ingestion who have poor colonic preparation have higher fasting breath hydrogen compared to those who have excellent/fair colonic preparation. The clinical implication of this observation is discussed.

Abstract
The circadian variation in some biologic functions may have clinical, fiscal and therapeutic implications. The authors discuss circadian variation in portal pressure in cirrhotic patients and nocturnal occurrence of bleeding from varices in these patients. The pathogenesis of the diurnal variation in portal pressure is presented. The authors submit the hypothesis that an optimal dosing regimen for non-selective beta blocker therapy in the prevention of variceal bleed must include an evening dose of beta blocker medication. In studies reporting comparative efficacy of beta blocker therapy with other modalities in the prevention of variceal bleeding, the optimal dosing schedule for beta blocker therapy must be emphasized.

Abstract
Heterotopic gastric tissue in the duodenal bulb is a rare congenital lesion. Its prevalence has been reported to be 0.5-2%. It must be differentiated from gastric metaplasia of the duodenal bulb because the two entities have different clinical implications. During one year, we found three cases of gastric heterotopia of the duodenal bulb. In one of the cases, active acid-secreting gastric mucosa was documented by performing the pentagastrin Congo red dye test. The differences between gastric heterotopia of the duodenal bulb and gastric metaplasia of the duodenal bulb have been discussed.

Abstract
We report a case where colonoscopic ultrasound was used to evaluate the pancreas. In this case the usual method of evaluating the body of the pancreas by upper gastrointestinal ultrasound was unsuccessful because of the presence of a large hiatal hernia. The other abdominal organs evaluated by colonoscopic ultrasound included the ileo-cecal valve, kidney, liver, spleen and prostate. To our knowledge this is the first case where ultrasonic colonoscope has been used to evaluate the body of the pancrease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS It has been observed that the portal pressure in cirrhotic patients shows circadian variation and is at a maximum at night. Our aims in this study were a) to evaluate the frequency of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding from esophageal/gastric varices or portal congestive gastropathy during the day, evening or night shift, and b) to correlate the frequency of bleeding during various shifts with severity of liver disease. METHODOLOGY At our institution, during the period from January 1997 to June 1995, 15,000 gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic reports and consultations were evaluated. Episodes of bleeding due to portal hypertension (PH), i.e., esophageal varices, gastric varices or congestive gastropathy, were noted. The time of occurrence of bleeding from PH in various shifts, e.g., day shift (DS), evening shift (ES) or night shift (NS) was determined. The severity of liver disease was classified as A, B or C according to Child's classification. RESULTS There were 221 episodes of UGI bleeding due to PH in 144 patients. 75.5% of patients presented with hematemesis, whereas 24.5% presented with melena (p < 0.025). Bleeding started during the DS in 39/221 (17.6%), during the ES in 122/221 (55.2%), and during the NS in 60/221 (27.1%). There were 29 (13.1%) patients in Child's A, 75 (33.9%) in Child's B, and 117 (52.9%) in Child's C. Among the 122 bleeders during ES, 85 (69.6%) were in category C. It seems that in these patients UGI bleeding is more frequent during the ES compared to DS and NS (p < 0.0001; chi square; 95% CI: 0.52-0.58). Child's C patients are more likely to bleed during ES compared to Child's A or B patients (p < 0.0001; Odds Ratio: 4.8%; 95% CI: 2.7-8.5). CONCLUSIONS 1) The majority of the cirrhotic patients with PH who develop UGI bleeding present with hematemesis rather than melena. 2) The bleeding in these patients is more likely to occur during the ES. 3) Child's C patients are more likely to bleed during the ES.

Abstract
Nine hundred and seven polyps (mean size 3.7 mm; range 2-8) from 460 patients (mean age 67 years; range 34-94) were removed with monopolar electrocoagulation forceps ('hot biopsy forceps'). Sixty-three percent of the polyps were adenomatous and 36% were hyperplastic. In this series there were 3 cancers and 1 neurofibroma. About 42% of the polyps were in the sigmoid-rectum region; the rest were evenly distributed in the remaining part of the colon. There were no complications. Specifically there were no cases of perforation or massive bleeding after removal of these polyps. Within the guidelines mentioned, hot biopsy removal of small colonic polyps is safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Orocecal time can be measured by lactulose H2 breath test. Duodenal entry time can be evaluated by measuring D-xylose; the duodeno-cecal time can be derived by subtracting duodenal entry time from orocecal time. In this study we established the normal value of these parameters for our laboratory in males and also evaluated the effect of clonidine on these parameters. METHODOLOGY In 9 healthy male volunteers orocecal time was measured by the lactulose H2 breath test. Duodenal entry time was established by measuring blood D-xylose. Duodenocecal time was derived by subtracting duodenal entry time from orocecal time. RESULTS The mean orocecal time was 54.44 + 3.77 minutes; the mean duodenal entry time was 17.22 + 3.15 minutes and the mean duodenocecal time was 37.22 + 3.16 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Oral clonidine prolonged orocecal, duodenal entry and duodenocecal times in only 33% of the subjects.

Abstract
Enterokinase is a glycoprotein and is now designated enteropeptidase (E.C.3.4.4.8.). It is present in the duodenal and jejunal mucosa. Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are secreted as proenzymes. Enterokinase converts trypsinogen to trypsin in the duodenal lumen. Duodenopancreatic reflux of duodenal enterokinase may be important in the pathogenesis of experimental and clinical acute pancreatitis. Congenital enterokinase deficiency is a distinct clinical entity characterized by diarrhea, failure to thrive, hypoproteinemia, and edema. Acquired enterokinase deficiency may occur in some diffuse small bowel diseases. Steatorrhea of celiac spruce may be due partly to the fact that deficiency of secretin and cholecystokinin may interfere with the action of enterokinase. The interrelationship between secretin, cholecystokinin, enterokinase, and bile salts is not completely understood.

Abstract
The frequent association of celiac sprue (CS) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM) which may be the result of interplay between genetic, hormonal, and immunologic factors has obvious therapeutic implications. A gluten-free diet may improve the diarrhea in some patients with DM where the reason for diarrhea is underlying celiac sprue; the diet may also improve control of DM by normalizing the serum hormonal profile.

Abstract
A small ulcer produced in vitro by monopolar electrocoagulation on endoscopically obtained human antral biopsies and incubated in Trowel T-8 medium at 37 degrees C for 8 h has many histologic features of chronic gastric ulcer in man. Zinc sulfate and acetylcysteine in low concentrations had a significant healing effect in this ulcer model. Since the beneficial effect of zinc sulfate and acetylcysteine was counteracted by N-ethylmaleimide, a known blocker of sulfhydryl compounds, the beneficial effect of these two compounds probably was mediated through sulfhydryl compounds. Using special stain, N-(4-aminophenyl)maleimide, the sulfhydryl groups were localized in the epithelial cells of the surface layer and gastric glands.

Abstract
We evaluated the frequency with which Barrett's esophagus (BE) occurs in patients with symptomatic reflux esophagitis, and compared the clinical endoscopic and manometric features of patients with Barrett's esophagus with those of patients who had non-Barrett's esophagitis (NBE). The effect of 6 months' medical treatment on BE patients was reevaluated by repeating manometry, endoscopy, and biopsy. Esophageal manometry was performed by perfusion technique and endoscopic biopsies were obtained. There were 180 patients; 20 (11%) were found to have BE. The vast majority of BE patients were caucasians. BE patients had symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux for a longer time than did NBE patients. Mean lower esophageal sphincter pressure in BE patients was lower than that in NBE patients. On medical treatment, the severity of esophagitis as judged by endoscopic criteria in BE patients was reduced, but there was no increase in lower esophageal sphincter pressure and no regression of the columnar epithelium.

Abstract
We report a 56-year-old man with sclerosing cholangitis and oxalate urolithiasis. These complications occurred five years after proctocolectomy and ileostomy were performed for ulcerative colitis. Two years before, at the time of proctocolectomy, there was no clinical or biochemical evidence of liver abnormality. The occurrence and progression of sclerosing cholangitis five years after proctocolectomy is unusual. Also unusual is the occurrence of oxalate urolithiasis; more common in ulcerative colitis, especially after ileostomy, are uric acid stones.

Abstract
Total parenteral nutrition can maintain good nutritional status in selected patients. However, it can be accompanied by serious complications. It is generally agreed that enteral alimentation is more economical and safer. Gut should be used for nutritional replenishment whenever feasible. However, large-bore nasogastric feeding tubes can cause problems. Even fine-bore nasogastric tubes can cause aspiration pneumonia in obtunded and debilitated patients. In some patients it is clearly desirable to have the tip of the feeding tube in the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum. Previously described methods for placement of nasoenteral tubes may be unsatisfactory. We describe a safe, simple, and reliable method for endoscopic insertion of fine-bore nasoenteral feeding tube. We have used this method on 15 patients without complication.

Abstract
Diffuse colitis was produced in rats by the intracolonic administration of 10% acetic acid. The course and evolution of this chemical colitis was followed by performing serial fiberoptic colonoscopy and biopsy. The effect of intrarectal indomethacin on the prostaglandin E content of the colonic mucosa and on the severity of colitis as judged by endoscopic and histologic criteria was evaluated. Intrarectal administration of indomethacin was associated with decreased severity of inflammation and decreased prostaglandin E2 content of the colonic mucosa. This model may be useful in evaluating other potential therapeutic agents.

The evolution and progression of this colitis was followed by performing serial fiberoptic colonoscopy using a needlescope and biopsy. Hyperemia appeared at 10 hours and ulcerations appeared at 24 hours in acetic acid-treated animals. After 3 days, the ulcers were covered with a yellowish exudate. At 8 weeks there was endoscopic and histologic healing of the lesions. No changes occurred in the saline-treated animals. Concomitant topical applications of epsilon-aminocaproic acid protected against acetic acid-induced injury.
