Do correlation of high-frequency esophageal ultrasonography and manometry in the study of esophageal motility?
A combined ultrasonography transducer/manometry probe was used to dynamically and simultaneously evaluate esophageal wall motion, muscle thickness, and esophageal pressure changes during peristalsis.
These results illustrate a novel mechanism of CD28-dependent T-cell costimulation involved in HHcy-accelerated atherosclerosis, which extends the pharmacological application of CTLA4-IgG for atherosclerosis.
