Radiation therapy is an important treatment modality for abdominal or pelvic cancer, but there is a common and serious complication such as radiation-induced enteritis. Probiotics is reported to have positive effects against radiation-induced enteropathy. In this study, morphological changes of bowel mucosa were analyzed in rats to presume the effect of probiotics on radiation-induced enteritis...

the effects of various routes of probiotic administration on performance, small intestine morphology and serum cholesterol of broiler chickens, were studied. we assigned 225 day old chicks (ross 308) to five experimental groups including control and four hatchery administration methods comprised of in ovo injection, oral gavage, spray application and cloacal inoculation. all of these were chall...

T cells in explants of human fetal small intestine in organ culture were stimulated in situ with PWM or anti-CD3 antibody to test the hypothesis that activated T cells produce enteropathy in human small intestine. T cell activation was measured by the appearance of CD25+ cells in the lamina propria of the explants and IL-2 production into the organ culture supernatant. We have previously shown ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Small intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is a frequent, potentially life threatening phenomenon. There is a lack of non-invasive diagnostic modalities. For many intestinal diseases, visualizing the intestinal mucosa using endoscopy is gold standard. However, limited knowledge exists on small intestinal IR-induced, early mucosal changes. The aims of this study were to...
