Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and expression of Oceludin in esophageal epithelium in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the distribution and expression of Occludin in esophageal epithelium from 62 cases with GERD and 10 Case with other diseases ag control.Results The Occludin was normal continuous membrane expressed in 10 contrast esophageal epithelium,while in 32 nonerosive reflux disease patients,normal expression Was seen in 4 cases,different degree of abnormal expression was seen in 28 cases,including incomplete membrane expression,cytoplasmic expression and expression depletion respectively,and in 30 reflux esophagitis patients were seen all abnormal expression including incomplete membrane expression,cytoplasmic expression and expression depletion respectively.There was significant difference between nonerosive reflux disease and normal contrast,reflux esophagitis and normal contrast(P＜0.01),no difference was seen between reflux esophagitis and nonerosive reflux disease(P＞0.05).Concision The number of esophageal epithelial Occludin in GERD patients diminished and abnormally distributed,interfered the integrity of epithelium mucosal barrier,which might be one ofthe pathogenesis of GERD,there is no difference of Occludin expression between reflux esophagitis and nonerosive reflux disease esophageal epithelium.
