[Circadian rhythm of cortisol in patients after reconstruction surgery of the esophagus using various intestinal segments for transplantation].
The authors determined the circadian rhythm of cortisol expressed as blood 11-hydroxycorticosteroid level (11 OHCS) in group of healthy subjects and in 3 groups of patients after the formation of an artificial oesophagus from the jejunum, large intestine and ileum and caecum. In all examined patients the normal circadian rhythm of 11 OHCS was maintained. In patients with oesophagus made up of jejunum and large intestine mean level 11 OHCS in blood was insignificantly higher in comparison with a group healthy subjects. In group patients with the oesophagus made up of ileum and caecum the 11 OHCS level in blood was significantly lower in comparison to the group of healthy subjects and to patients with oesophagus made up of jejunum and large intestine.
