Transporter adaptor protein PDZK1 regulates several influx transporters for xenobiotics and nutrients in small intestine, and their expression on the apical membrane is diminished in pdzk1 gene knockout [pdzk1(-/-)] mice. In the present study, we initially attempted to use pdzk1(-/-) mice to functionally identify influx transporters responsible for intestinal absorption of cimetidine. Contrary ...

Walker-Smith, John (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 80. Variation of small intestinal morphology with age. A study of small intestinal three-dimensional morphology from 85 childhood necropsies, using the dissecting microscope, has shown that there is a variation in morphology with age. While finger-like villi occurred frequently in the small intestine of neonates, particularly in t...

this research was carried out to define the morphological features of meckel’s diverticulum (md) induck and to investigate whether the md resides in a constant position along the intestinal tract. for thispurpose, a total of 30 adult healthy ducks of both sexes, 50-52 weeks of age were used. after dissecting,some morphological factors such as: total intestine length as well as the lengths of th...

AbsractWe are presenting a case of abdominal tuberculosis who had peritonitis and twolarge enteroliths were removed from the small intestine during laparotomy. Followinga full course of medical treatment, she developed small bowel obstruction andtreated by laparotomy & enterolysis but showed no evidence of stricture. We had adiagnostic and management challenge which will be discussed along with...

A double-lumen tube with a mercury weight attached to its distal end was positioned in the small intestine of six subjects who were to undergo an elective laparotomy. The tube and the technique for its localization were exactly similar to those used in previous intestinal perfusion experiments. Marked ;concertinaing', or gathering of the small intestine proximal to the mercury weight, was seen ...

Abstract Given the anatomy of small intestine, this paper investigates dynamics a vibro-impact capsule moving on an intestinal substrate with consideration circular fold which provides main resistance for capsule’s progression. To end, new mathematical model capsule-fold contact that can depict entire procedure crossing is proposed. Our bifurcation analyses suggest always performs period-1 moti...

The small intestine, an anatomical site previously considered inaccessible to clinicians due its diameter and length, is the part of gastrointestinal tract between stomach colon. Since introduction into clinical practice two decades ago, capsule endoscopy has become established as primary modality for examining surface lining intestine. Today, researchers continue develop ground-breaking techno...
