31.   The second finding is important when ethical and legal considerations require the experiments to be conducted under anaesthesia, as was the case in this study.

32.   This finding is consistent with other reports showing that restitution of the damaged mucosa takes place in barbiturate anaesthetised rats.

33.   This finding is suggestive of destruction of the original mucosal layer during expansion with subsequent healing and proliferation.

34.   Our finding is similar to that of Simmonds et al who also showed an increase in chemiluminescence in ulcerative colitis.

35.   Although these findings were on rats, they may also be relevant with regard to the possible effects of achlorhydria with or without hypergastrinaemia in man.

36.   In the remaining nine patients H pylori was successfully eradicated, and endoscopic findings were normal.

37.   Our present findings are consistent with the generally accepted view that peak acid output reflects the parietal cell mass and is not altered by eradication of H pylori.

38.   The histopathological findings are similar in all types.

39.   These findings are consistent with decreased transit in the proximal and rapid transit through the sigmoid colon in patients with active colitis.

40.   Our findings are in line with those of Banergee, who recently showed the inhibition of peroxidase activity in the mitochondrial fraction of rat gastric mucosa by indomethacin.
