Disease relevance of Cardia

 

High impact information on Cardia

  • Hrs homozygous mutant embryos developed with their ventral region outside of the yolk sac, had two independent bilateral heart tubes (cardia bifida), lacked a foregut, and died around embryonic day 11 (E11) [6].
  • SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Volunteer subsample from Chicago, Ill, and Oakland, Calif, consisting of 374 white and black men and women, aged 18 to 30 years at baseline, who participated in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study [7].
  • In the current study, we examined the relationship between selenium levels measured in pretrial (1985) sera from participants and the subsequent risk of developing squamous esophageal, gastric cardia, and gastric non-cardia cancers during the trial [8].
  • Our results demonstrate that stimulation of cardia AT2 exerts a novel antipressor action by inhibiting AT1-mediated chronotropic effects, and that application of AT1 antagonists to patients with cardiovascular diseases has beneficial pharmacotherapeutic effects of stimulating cardiac AT2 [9].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that dietary intake of antioxidants measured as total antioxidant potential is inversely associated with risk of both cardia and distal cancer [2].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Cardia

  • CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that adjuvant paclitaxel and cisplatin may improve survival in R0 resected patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus, GE junction, and cardia [10].
  • The present study has analysed a series of 23 formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded tissue samples of Barrett's adenocarcinoma (BCA, n = 18) and non-neoplastic squamous oesophageal (n = 2) and gastric cardia mucosa (n = 3) by aCGH [11].
  • During follow-up examinations all patients underwent vital staining with methylene blue to help identify areas of intestinal metaplasia in the cardia [12].
  • All cardia biopsies were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and alcian blue at pH 2.5 for the presence of goblet cells and the body/antrum biopsies were stained with Steiner silver stain for Helicobacter pylori detection [13].
  • A case of intramural hematoma of the gastric cardia occurring in a young woman with S.L.E. and on warfarin is presented and discussed [14].
 

Biological context of Cardia

  • Conditions for acid catalysed luminal nitrosation are maximal at the gastric cardia [15].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The conditions favouring luminal generation of N-nitroso compounds from dietary nitrate are maximal at the most proximal cardia region of the acidic stomach and may contribute to the high incidence of mutagenesis at this site [15].
  • However, the XRCC1 26304 CC genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk for gastric cardia cancer (adjusted OR=1.86, 95% CI=1.09-3.20) [16].
  • The author have previously observed autoimmunity to the non-polymorphic cytoskeletal protein vimentin in cardia transplant patients [17].
  • In the gastric cardia, again, the pattern of change of p53-positive cells in different stages of lesions paralleled the pattern of cell proliferation [18].
 

Anatomical context of Cardia

 

Associations of Cardia with chemical compounds

  • Lack of association of recreational cocaine and alcohol use with left ventricular mass in young adults. The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study [24].
  • Two biopsy specimens were taken from the antrum, corpus, and cardia and stained with haematoxylin/eosin and Diff-Quick II stains [25].
  • Consequently, the median ascorbic acid to nitrite ratio was lowest at the cardia (0.3) (p<0.01) versus the mid (7.8) or distal (40) stomach [15].
  • Within the stomach, mean (SEM) nitrite concentration following nitrate was higher in the cardia (45.5 (12.7) micro M) than in the mid (7.8 (3.1)) (p<0.01) or distal (0.8 (0.6)) (p<0.1) stomach, and ascorbic acid concentration was lower at the cardia (13.0 (6.1)) than in the mid (51 (19.2)) (p<0.02) or distal (86 (29)) (p<0.01) stomach [15].
  • RESULTS: Patients treated with low-dose amiodarone exhibited a lower incidence of sudden cardia death (3.1%) and total mortality (6.1%) when compared with patients treated with placebo (6.9% and 11.2%, respectively; both P < .01; and 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.011 to 0.065 and 0.013 to 0.082, respectively) [26].
 

Gene context of Cardia

  • Immunohistochemical analysis showed that surface mucous cells of the cardia, fundus, and antrum expressed MUC5 peptide [19].
  • TFF1 and TFF2 were expressed in all cardia samples [27].
  • TFF3 expression was significantly more frequent at the cardia (n = 15/24) than in the corpus (n = 2/26) [27].
  • Polymorphic variation of Cyp1A1 is associated with the risk of gastric cardia cancer: a prospective case-cohort study of cytochrome P-450 1A1 and GST enzymes [28].
  • Conversely, patients who had cardia carcinoma exhibited less frequent expression of MUC1 (P = 0.008) and MUC5AC (P = 0.006) compared with patients who had noncardia carcinoma [29].
