| Core Tip |
A positive association between excessive drinking and the presence of short-segmental columnar-lined esophagus (CLE) has been reported in Asians. Endoscopic screening of 1614 Japanese alcohol-dependent men revealed the presence of CLE ≥ 5 mm in length in 355 subjects and esophageal varices (EVs) in 180 subjects. The presence of CLE was negatively associated with the presence of EVs, and even more negatively associated with the presence of advanced forms of EVs. Since the first resistance vessels to EVs are the mucosal palisade vessels and submucosal veins at the lower end of the esophagus, the development of CLE may impede the development of EVs. |
