The jejunal mucosa in kwashiorkor.

JEJUNAL EVERSION MUCOSECTOMY AND INVAGINATION: AN INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR THE END TO END PANCREATICOJEJUNOSTOMY

 ABSTRACT Background: The pancreatojejunostomy has notoriously been known to carry a high rate of operative complications, morbidity and mortality, mainly due to anastomotic leak and ensuing septic complications. Objective: In order to decrease anastomotic leak and its attendant morbidity and mortality in operations requiring a pancreato-jejunal anastomosis, and also in order to simplify the op...

Jejunal disaccharidase activities in children with marasmus and with kwashiorkor. Response to treatment.

Absorption of lactose and its digestion products i the normal and malnourished Ugandan.

Primary or specific lactase deficiency is very common in healthy members of the Baganda and other Bantu tribes of Uganda after the first three or four years of life (Cook and Kajubi, 1966; Cook, 1967). Secondary lactase deficiency has been recorded in some cases of kwashiorkor (Bowie, Brinkman, and Hansen, 1965; Stanfield, Hutt, and Tunnicliffe, 1965), where there is mucosal damage in the proxi...

Glucose metabolism in jejunal mucosa of fed, fasted, and streptozotocin-diabetic rats.

ANDERSON, JAMES Mr. Glucose metabolism in jejunal mucosa of fed, fasted, and streptototocin-diabetic rats. Am. J. Physiol. 226(l) : 226229. 1974.2Glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzyme activities and glycolytic rates were measured in the jejunal mucosa of rats. Tissue homogenates have high rates of glycolysis, which may make a significant contribution to the energy requirements of jejunal mucosa. ...

Digestion of gluten peptides by normal human jejunal mucosa and by mucosa from patients with adult coeliac disease.

1. The ability of homogenates of jejunal mucosa to liberate amino acids from a peptic-tryptic digest of gluten was assessed. Mucosal specimens were obtained from thirty-two control subjects without malabsorptive disease, from twenty-six patients with untreated adult coeliac disease and from nine patients with adult coeliac disease in whom the intestinal mucosa was histologically normal as a con...
