Unlabelled: The development of the new techniques and methods enabled to investigate the role of duodenal reflux in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) therefore there is a need to establish the most common symptoms occurring in patients with duodenal reflux.
The Aim Of The Study: To determinate the type of manifestation and the prevalence of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux in children and adolescents confirmed in Bilitec 2000 method.
Materials And Methods: 59 patients (37 girls, 22 boys) aged 7-17 years (mean 14.7) with the symptoms of GER there were divided into 2 groups: subgroups: A--18 children with confirmed duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux in Bilitec 2000TM method and B--control consisted of 15 children with short stature referred to endoscopy due to celiac disease exclusion. In accordance to the endoscopic finding there were selected 3 subgroups: 20 patients with duodenal reflux, 19 patients with esophagitis and 20 children presenting those both disorders simultaneously. In all patients from group B the endoscopy, Bilitec 2000 and esophagitis pH metric findings haven't showed any abnormality.
Results: The most common complain--in 16 (88.89%) patients was recurrent and/or chronic abdominal pain, next- heartburn in 12 (66.67%), vomits and/or regurgitations in 10 (55.56%) children.
Conclusions: The clinical manifestation of duodenal reflux was very much alike as in acid gastroeophageal reflux in the examined group. Therefore the functional gastrointestinal tract examinations have to be included in the diagnostic procedure.

Background: Observational studies demonstrate a protective effect of statins on the development and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The role of statins in the prevention of reflux-induced esophageal changes remains unknown.
Aims: Using a mixed gastroduodenal reflux mouse model, we hypothesized that oral administration of simvastatin would attenuate reflux-induced mucosal changes of the distal esophagus.

Introduction: Duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux aspiration is associated with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Reflux aspirate can contain bile acids (BA), functional molecules in the gastro-intestinal tract with emulsifying properties. We sought to determine and quantify the various BA species in airways of the lung transplant recipients to better understand the various effects of aspirated BA that contribute to post-transplantation outcomes.

Objective: The earliest response of esophageal mucosa to gastric reflux is the development of oxidative damage and inflammation. These processes contribute to the development of metaplasia known as Barrett's esophagus, as well as the progression to malignancy. Secretory phospholipase A(2) is a mediator of inflammation with levels that are increased in Barrett's metaplasia and carcinoma when compared with levels in normal samples.

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of duodenal switch operation for patients with duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Methods: Four female patients with therapy resistant epigastric pain and biliary regurgitation were enrolled in the study. In all cases, abnormal duodeno-gastric reflux was confirmed by 24-hour Bilitec monitoring.
