Abstract

Either the stomach or the colon can be used to restore deglutition after esophagectomy. The use of the EEA and other stapling devices has increased both the safety and the speed with which these procedures can be done. This article illustrates techniques for the utilization of staplers to perform such operations.

In vitro colonization ability of human colon mucosa by exogenous Lactobacillus strains.

We have tested five Lactobacillus strains for their in vitro colonization ability in a human colon epithelium culture model. Positive colonization occurred in different degrees in the presence of four Lactobacillus strains. We have found that L. casei GG and L. acidophilus NCFB 1748 induce an intermediate colonization. These two strains, largely investigated by others, have been reported to be beneficial to humans. The use of human intestinal tissue in our study partially reconstitutes the complex architectural specificity of human epithelium with the mucus layer and more closely simulates the in vivo situation.
