Congenital microvillous atrophy: specific diagnostic features.
Proximal small intestinal and colonoscopic mucosal biopsies from two children with the intractable diarrhea of infancy syndrome were examined by electron microscopy. Microvillous involutions were found in the small and large bowel of both patients. We suggest that this is a specific diagnostic finding for congenital microvillous atrophy, a distinct disorder within the intractable diarrhoea synd...
متن کاملAbsorption of Water and Electrolytes from a Liposome Based Oral Rehydration Solution: An in vivo Perfusion Study on Mucosal Injured Small Intestine Rat Model
Diarrhoeal disorders constitute a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally and continue to be a major concern, particularly for developing countries. Based upon the pathogenic mechanisms, the diarrhoeal organisms may be broadly divided into two groups, secretory and invasive. Vibrio cholera is the prototype pathogen causing secretory diarrhea and on the other hand Shigella the prototyp...
متن کاملVaccines and Other Approaches to the Prevention of Intractable Infant Diarrhea by the Prevention of Intestinal Colonization*
In developing preventive measures and treatments for intractable infant diarrhea, one must first have an understanding of the etiology of these diseases. It is a reasonable hypothesis, although one not yet proven, that these illnesses are induced by the establishment of chronic colonization of the small intestine by enteric bacterial pathogens and that this colonization leads to a pattern of ch...
متن کاملProtective Role of Rheum tanguticum Polysaccharides 1 on Radiation-Induced Intestinal Mucosal Injury
The protective effects of Rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (RTP1), which is extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine Rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. Rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells) and Sprague-Dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and RTP1-pretreated irradiated groups. After irradiation, cell surviva...
