How can you use “mucosal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
MAdCAM-1 (mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1)
MAdCAM-1 is normally expressed in the gut, and its expression is dramatically amplified during inflammation [ 2 3 ] . The functional significance of increased appearance of MAdCAM-1 in IBD is supported by several reports which show that immunoneutralization of either MAdCAM-1 or its ligand, the α4β7 integrin, attenuate inflammation and mucosal damage in animal models of colitis [ 8 9 10 ] . However, since monoclonal antibodies directed against other ECAMs, particularly VCAM-1, can as well reduce disease activity in colitis models [ 11 12 13 14 ] , the literature suggests that MAdCAM-1 is probably necessary, but insufficient for the maximal penetrance of experimental and probably also clinical IBD.
Other features observed more often in A-GVHD with statistically significant differences as compared to the negative control groups included (Table 2and 4, Figure 2): pericryptal apoptosis adjacent to the crypts in LP, crypt abnormalities (including crypt size variation, crypt dilatation and irregular crypt distribution), reactive changes in LP (including reduced mucosal thickness, muciphages in LP, increased microvessel network, and focal fibrosis), and reactive changes in the surface epithelium with mucin depletion.
Since most individuals do not suffer from invasive pneumococcal disease in this age range, carriage or mucosal disease (otitis media) from pneumococci may be the immunizing event for anticapsular antibodies in the general population [12] (although in principle immunity to some serogroups could be generated in response to cross-reacting antigens from other bacterial species or other sources [14]).
Because of concerns about the reliability of pH i for assessing mucosal perfusion, we also calculated the P (t-a) CO 2 because it has been proposed to be a better parameter than pH i [ 16 ] . The pH i level can sometimes be misleading, particularly in situations in which gastric tissue and arterial bicarbonate levels are not equal.
