ABSTRACT In this study, immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescent-based quantitative PCR were used to evaluate the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 60, HSP70, HSP90 in small intestine Wenchang chicks. Compared with control group (CK), positive HSP60 mRNA stress (HS) initially higher subsequently lower duodenum (p<0.01). HS jejunum, levels (p<0.01) was (p<0.05). Whereas ileum (p<0.05)...

Induction of drug enzyme activity in the intestine can strongly determine plasma levels of drugs. It is therefore important to predict drug-drug interactions in human intestine in vitro. We evaluated the applicability of human intestinal precision-cut slices for induction studies in vitro. Morphological examination and intracellular ATP levels indicated tissue integrity up to 24 h of incubation...

Many studies dealing with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis in rats have been carried out referring only to the colon. In humans, ulcerative colitis (UC) can extend a variable distance into the terminal ileum in a phenomenon known as backwash ileitis (BWI). The aim of this study was therefore to examine the effect of TNBS-induced colitis on different aspects of the rat ileum and jeju...

BACKGROUND Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance; approximately 50% of cases present as new mutations CASE REPORT We report a case of a 56 year-old man with Von Recklinghausen's disease, carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater and incidental benign gastrointestinal stromal tumours of the jejunum. CONCLUSIONS Coexistence between ampullary carcin...

isolated common hepatic artery branch thrombosis with severe gastric ischemia and duodenojejunal infarction is a rare condition; it usually presents with acute abdomen and may be associated with underlying thrombotic risk factors. we present a 35-year-old man admitted to our hospital with five days history of sudden abdominal pain and deteriorating epigastric pain. he was a driver and had no an...

we report the case of a 54-year-old iranian man who presented with melena from three months prior to admission. esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were normal. double balloon enteroscopy showed a pedunculated tumor located in the jejunum. he underwent laparotomy and resection of a 9.5 cm tumor from the distal jejunum. histopathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of an inflammatory...

Mouse chow supplemented with lysophosphatidylcholine with oleic acid at sn-1 and a hydroxyl group at sn-2 (LysoPC 18:1) increased LysoPC 18:1 in tissue of the jejunum of LDL receptor (LDLR)-null mice by 8.9 ± 1.7-fold compared with chow alone. Western diet (WD) contained dramatically less phosphatidylcholine 18:1 or LysoPC 18:1 compared with chow, but feeding WD increased LysoPC 18:1 in the jej...
