Our objective was to determine duodenal and ileal flows of total and esterified fatty acids and to determine ruminal fermentation characteristics and site and extent of nutrient digestion in sheep fed an 80% concentrate diet supplemented with high-linoleate (77%) safflower oil at 0, 3, 6, and 9% of DM. Oil was infused intraruminally along with an isonitrogenous basal diet (fed at 2% of BW) that...

where ai(t) = Pi + εQi cos2t, where Pi,Qi and ε are given constants, and where it is assumed that when ε=0 this system exhibits a pair of linearly independent solutions of period 2π . Since the driver cos2t has period π , we have the ingredients for a 2:1 subharmonic resonance which typically results in a tongue of instability involving unbounded solutions when ε >0. We present conditions on th...

We consider possible indications of Very-Short-BaseLine (VSBL) electron neutrino disappearance into sterile neutrinos in MiniBooNE neutrino data and Gallium radioactive source experiments. We discuss the compatibility of such a disappearance with reactor and MiniBooNE antineutrino data. We find a tension between neutrino and antineutrino data which could be due to: 1) statistical fluctuations; ...

Recent advances in endoscopic technology, including high-definition and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow-band imaging have facilitated close observation detailed of the gastric mucosa. Currently, is performed Korea primarily for evaluation premalignant conditions cancer detection. research has established Kyoto classification gastritis, a novel grading system which enables prediction Hel...

Diagnosis: Intestinal spirochetosis. Results of histopathologic studies were pathognomonic for intestinal spirochetosis, a disorder that was first described in 1967 [1]. There are no distinct symptoms associated with intestinal spirochetosis other than diarrhea. The rate of colonization in humans is variable, but men who have sex with men and HIV-infected individuals appear to be at higher risk...

The nature of intestinal absorption of most herbal medicine is unknown. Cryptotanshinone (CTS) is the principal active constituent of the widely used cardiovascular herb Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen). We investigated the oral bioavailability of CTS in rats and the mechanism for its intestinal absorption using several in vitro and in vivo models: 1) Caco-2 cell monolayers; 2) monolayers of MDCKI...

The effects of different concentrations of CdCl2 and AlCl3 on NH4+ and NO2? oxidation in an aqueous system were investigated. AlCl3 had no effect on NH4+ removal and its oxidation to NO2?, whereas NO2? disappearance was greatly enhanced by AlCl3. In contrast, CdCl2 delayed removal of NH4+ and its subsequent oxidation to NO2? and also decreased the rate of NO2? disappearance. When compared to th...

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...
