Dilated intercellular spaces of esophageal epithelium among Malaysian with non- erosive reflux disease: Transmission Electron Microscopic (TEM) study
Dilated intercellular space (DIS) is considered as early signs of acid damage to the esophageal epithelium. The diffusion of refluxed gastric acid into the intercellular space activates chemo sensitive nociceptors whose signals are transmitted via the spinal cord to the brain for symptom (heartburn)...
