Résumé

Dilated intercellular spaces (DISs) facilitate the diffusion of noxious agents into the deep layers of the esophageal epithelium. The role of DIS in heartburn pathogenesis is still controversial. Therefore, we aim to reinvestigate DIS in an extensively evaluated group of patients and healthy controls (HCs). We classified 149 subjects into the following groups: 15 HC, 58 mild erosive reflux disease (ERD), 17 severe ERD, 25 nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), 15 reflux hypersensitivity (RH), and 19 functional heartburn (FH). A total of 100 length measurements were performed for each patient's biopsy. The overall intercellular spaces (ISs) value of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients was higher than that of HC ( Since the IS length measurement had better discrimination power only in erosive groups, it is not feasible to use in daily routine to discriminate other nonerosive phenotypes and FH. The role of DIS in heartburn in nonerosive patients should be reconsidered.

Background/Aims UNASSIGNED
Dilated intercellular spaces (DISs) facilitate the diffusion of noxious agents into the deep layers of the esophageal epithelium. The role of DIS in heartburn pathogenesis is still controversial. Therefore, we aim to reinvestigate DIS in an extensively evaluated group of patients and healthy controls (HCs).
Methods UNASSIGNED
We classified 149 subjects into the following groups: 15 HC, 58 mild erosive reflux disease (ERD), 17 severe ERD, 25 nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), 15 reflux hypersensitivity (RH), and 19 functional heartburn (FH). A total of 100 length measurements were performed for each patient's biopsy.
Results UNASSIGNED
The overall intercellular spaces (ISs) value of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients was higher than that of HC (
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
Since the IS length measurement had better discrimination power only in erosive groups, it is not feasible to use in daily routine to discriminate other nonerosive phenotypes and FH. The role of DIS in heartburn in nonerosive patients should be reconsidered.
