Do systemic antibodies towards mucosal bacteria in ulcerative colitis and Crohn 's disease differentially activate the innate immune response?
Changes in mucosal bacteria, and a switch from internal to surface antigen/antibody reactivity of a predominantly IgG1 type, leads to greater opsonisation of the respiratory burst in PMN, providing a mechanism for maintaining the inflammatory state in UC.
The electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing system is a safe and useful, time-saving adjunct for total thyroidectomy.
