Epithelial barrier dysfunction has been implicated as one of the major contributors to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. The increase in intestinal permeability allows the translocation of luminal antigens across the intestinal epithelium, leading to the exacerbation of colitis. Thus, therapies targeted at specifically restoring tight junction barrier function are thought to have ...

Over recent decades, multiple data were accumulated on immunotropic activity of Bifidum flora, based effects these bacteria isolated lymphoid follicles, dendritic cells, B-cell aggregates, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines chemokines, as well participation bifidoflora in the recognition non-self during development microsymbiocenosis. The relevance research field is associated both with funda...

An infant girl was referred for assessment and management of a large frontal skull defect. She was born, after an uneventful pregnancy, by caesarian section to a 36-year-old mother (G1P1). The procedure was performed electively for a breech presentation. Her antenatal ultrasound had shown no specific abnormalities. The attending pediatrician immediately noted a large bi-frontal (but predominant...

chicory plant (dorema aucheri) belongs to asteraceae family and contains flavonoids. milk is a mixture of protein, fat, lactose, minerals. this research carried out in order to evaluate the effect of chicory plant on the activities of bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacillus acidophilus. four containers containing a liter of 1.5 % sterilized skim milk were selected as four group in order to pr...

Prenatal ultrasonography at 24 weeks disclosed a fetus with a large mass protruding from the occiput. The mass was an invasive, undifferentiated mesenchymal neoplasm of the scalp associated with a defect in the occipital bone (cranium bifidum). The tumor may have derived from neural crest at the site of rhombencephalic closure. The tumor itself would seem to be a sporadic event, but the cranium...

We investigated the effects of O2 on Bifidobacterium species using liquid shaking cultures under various O2 concentrations. Although most of the Bifidobacterium species we selected showed O2 sensitivity, two species, B. boum and B. thermophilum, demonstrated microaerophilic profiles. The growth of B. bifidum and B. longum was inhibited under high-O2 conditions accompanied by the accumulation of...

Pancreas divisum-failure of fusion of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic ducts-is relatively well known as the most common congenital anomaly of the pancreatic duct, of with an incidence approximately 10% of all embryos. And there is a rare anomaly similar to pancreas divisum in which doubled ducts are formed. This condition is a rare developmental anomaly called pancreas bifidum or bifid pancre...

Guthkelch, A. N. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 104. Occipital cranium bifidum. This paper describes a follow-up of 74 consecutive cases of occipital cranium bifidum born and treated between 1948 and 1965, and the surgical technique used in their repair. When no hydrocephalus developed, 86%/' of the cases of cranial meningocele, but only 40% of those of encephalocele, showed norm...

Staphylococcus aureus, as a foodborne pathogen causing significant harm worldwide, was studied to assess the effectiveness of probiotic strains Lactobacillus casei, plantarum, and Bifidobacterium bifidum individually collectively (as consortia) in controlling its growth. The growth patterns S. aureus were observed when co-cultured with each strain consortium all three over 72 hours. Additionall...
