The mechanisms of type 2 diabetes remission after bariatric surgery is still not fully elucidated. In the present study, we tried to simulate the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a canonical or longer biliary limb by infusing a liquid formula diet into different intestinal sections. Nutrients (Nutrison Energy) were infused into mid- or proximal jejunum and duodenum during three successive days in ...

BACKGROUND Indomethacin induces ulceration in the rat jejunum with sparing of the ileum. The ulcers localise between vasa recta along the mesenteric margin of the bowel, observations that have not been fully explained. AIM To examine the relationship between the localisation of experimental ulcers and the vascular anatomy of the rat small intestine. METHODS The normal vascular anatomy of th...

Trichinella spiralis infection in rodents is a well-known model of intestinal inflammation associated with hypermotility. Our aim was to elucidate if Th17 cells were involved in the development of gastrointestinal hypermotility in this experimental model. Intestinal inflammation was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Jejunal smooth muscle contractility was investigated in response to ...

The patient was a 37-year-old female. She was brought to our hospital by ambulance with nausea and vomiting. Abdominal ultra sound and abdominal enhanced CT scan showed a tumor in left side of the abdominal aorta 6 cm in size, and it showed an expanded stomach and duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal series revealed an apple core sign in upper jejunum near the Treitz' ligament. Small intestinal end...

Because mice infected with Trichinella spiralis experience a pronounced, but transient, mastocytosis and eosinophilia in their intestine, this disease model was used to follow the fate of senescent T cell-dependent mast cells (MCs) and eosinophils. Very few MCs or eosinophils undergoing apoptosis were found in the jejunum during the resolution phase of the infection, even though apoptotic MCs w...

Forty six patients with less than 200 cm of normal jejunum and no functioning colon were compared with 38 patients with similar jejunal lengths in continuity with a functioning colon. Women predominated (67%), and the most common diagnosis in each group was Crohn's disease (33 of 46 no colon, 16 of 38 with colon). All patients without a colon and less than 85 cm of jejunum and all those with a ...

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and the N/OFQ peptide (NOP) receptor play important roles in regulating gastrointestinal function. To assess whether the NOP receptor is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), we measured the levels of NOP receptor mRNA and protein in the jejunal and colonic tissues of healthy subjects and patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (D-IB...

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of coriander ( Coriandrum sativum ) essential oil nano emulsion (NCSEO) in drinking water on growth performance and intestinal health (intestinal microbiota histomorphology) broiler chickens. A total 180 one-day-old male chickens were randomly allocated into five treatments with four replicates 9 chicks per replicate pen. Birds provided NCS...
