Algorithmic Approach to Inflammatory Disorders of Ileum.

The ileum has been candidate more frequently for endoscopic biopsy compared to the past. Most of those biopsies show either completely normal tissue or non-specific changes. Nevertheless, in some diseases, ileal biopsy would be diagnostic, and in some cases, it may be the only anatomical involved location by the disease.

Comparison of gene expression of SOX2 and OCT4 in normal tissue, polyps, and colon adenocarcinoma using immunohistochemical staining.

Background: Cancer stem cells have been isolated and characterized in all common cancers. SOX2 and OCT4 are important genes to enhance the self-renewal ability as activate stem cells and inhibit the genes that start differentiation and thus maintain the self-renewal ability of stem cells. Also, the aim of this study is "Comparison of gene expression of SOX2 and OCT4 in normal tissue, polyps, and colon adenocarcinoma using immunohistochemical staining.
