Intestinal monosaccharide transport was studied in a series of rats with a self-filling jejunal blind loop using 3mM arbutin (p-hydroxyphenyl-B-glucoside) or 1mM D-fructose as substrate in vitro and 10 mM arbutin or 5mM D-fructose in vivo. These results were compared with changes in the bacterial flora and state of conjugation of intraluminal bile salts in those animals. Observations were also ...

The effects of dietary calcium (Ca) concentration on the digestion of Ca, phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), fat and starch along the intestinal tract of broilers were assessed. Three-week old broilers were fed maize-soy diets containing 6, 9 or 12 g/kg of Ca (Ca: total P ratios of 1:1, 1.4:1 and 2:1, respectively) for six days and digesta were collected from the duodenum, jejunum, upper ileum and l...

Ileocecal resection (ICR) is a commonly required surgical intervention in unmanageable Crohn's disease and necrotizing enterocolitis. However, the impact of ICR, and the concomitant doses of antibiotic routinely given with ICR, on the intestinal commensal microbiota has not been determined. In this study, wild-type C57BL6 mice were subjected to ICR and concomitant single intraperitoneal antibio...

The adipocyte hormone leptin activates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the hypothalamus, mediating increased satiety and increased energy expenditure. To date, leptin-mediated activation of the STAT pathway in vivo has not been established in tissues other than hypothalamus. We now describe leptin receptor expression and in vivo signaling in discrete regions of the...

Incomplete intestinal obstruction due to windsock web of the jejunum is uncommonly noticed in neonates. We present a male neonate, prenatally suspected case of proximal bowel obstruction, who was found to have features of incomplete intestinal obstruction due to windsock deformity in jejunum. The difficulty in the diagnosis and management is discussed along with relevant literature review.

Multiple diverticulosis of the jejunum is an uncommon pathology small bowel. The incidence diverticulum intestine varies from 0.3 to 1.2%, out which duodenal diverticula are common that jejunal. This rare jejunal usually asymptomatic in course, made it more difficult establishing this diagnosis. may rarely lead complications such as perforation, haemorrhage, obstruction be due adhesions, volvul...

The patient was a 72-year-old man. He received a detailed gastrointestinal examination because of severe anemia. Early multiple esophageal cancers (affecting 3 sites of the esophagus) and advanced gastric cancer were detected. The patient was scheduled to undergo surgical treatment (esophagectomy and total gastrectomy). This operation would be followed by reconstruction with a pedicled jejunum ...

introduction: the ginger rhizome has been widely used in traditional medicine for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. in the present study the effect of ginger alcoholic extract on mechanical activity of isolated jejunum of male rats and also its interaction with cholinergic, adrenergic and nitrergic systems were investigated. methods: seven adult male wistar rats were anesthetized by ethyl...

Avian colibacillosis is a high-prevalence chicken farm disease caused by avian pathogen-ic Escherichia coli (APEC). It necessary to identify and look up the bacterial activity stave off decline in performance. This study aimed determine pathogenetic of APEC within broiler chickens on duodenum, jejunum, ileum histopathology comparison. The samples were collected from total 40 broilers, obtained ...

This study investigated the effect of oxidized soybean oil in the diet of young chickens on growth performance and intestinal oxidative stress, and indices of intestinal immune function. Corn-soybean-based diets containing 2% mixtures of fresh and oxidized soybean oil provided 6 levels (0.15, 1.01, 3.14, 4.95, 7.05, and 8.97 meqO2/kg) of peroxide value (POV) in the diets. Each dietary treatment...
