gastrointestinal tract, although other Bcell-derived non-Hodgkin lymphoma often occurs there. According to previous reports, gastrointestinal spread of mantle cell lymphoma frequently involves the colorectum and stomach; reports of small-intestinal involvement are rare. Consistent with preceding reports [1–3], the endoscopic appearance of colorectal and small-intestinal spread of mantle cell ly...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) is intestinotrophic, antisecretory, and transit-modulating in rodents, and it is mainly secreted from the intestinal mucosa of the terminal ileum and colon after food ingestion. We assessed the effect of GLP-2 on the gastrointestinal function in patients without a terminal ileum and colon who have functional short-bowel syndrome with severe mala...

Background and aims: The incidence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional bowel disorders (FBD) after bacillary dysentery (BD) has not been extensively evaluated, and little is known of the pathogenesis of post-infective (PI) IBS. Therefore, we investigated the incidence of IBS and FBD in a Chinese patient population who had recovered from BD. To further elucidate its pathogenesis, neu...

rosa damascena flower is widely used for gastrointestinal (gi) disorders. however, its pharmacological action on isolated ileum has not been studied. in this research, the effect of extract of flower petals of r. damascena mill. growing in kashan, iran, on ileum motility was investigated. hydroalcoholic extract was prepared by percolation method. a section of rat ileum was suspended in an organ...

Multiple faceted radio-opaque stones within the abdomen are usually situated in the gall bladder, and the incidence of gall stones is increased in patients with Crohn's disease.' Enteroliths may rarely be found in a Meckel's diverticulum,2 and there is an increased-incidence of Meckel's diverticulum in Crohn's disease.3 Stones in a Meckel's diverticulum associated with Crohn's disease have not ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect eubiotics on intestinal morphology broilers. For purpose, 125 birds were divided into six groups with two replicates each (10 in replicate). Group A given a Basal diet. All except group challenged Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. B provided basal diet, C fed Probiotic-added diet; D Prebiotics-based E essential oils plus and F organi...

Mutations in the Nod2 gene are among the strongest genetic risk factors in the pathogenesis of ileal Crohn's disease, but the exact contributions of Nod2 to intestinal mucosal homeostasis are not understood. Here we show that Nod2 plays an essential role in controlling commensal bacterial flora in the intestine. Analysis of intestinal bacteria from the terminal ilea of Nod2-deficient mice showe...

The characteristics and location of rat intestinal proteins with calcium binding properties were reexamined using both a 45Ca-equilibrated Sephadex G-100 column and the chelex 100 method in the assay of 45Ca binding activity. The rat intestinal mucosa was found to have three different proteins with calcium binding properties. Two of these proteins were found to be vitamin D-dependent and were e...

Intestinal mucosal morphometry and ileal epithelial renewal were studied in conventional (CV) and germ-free (GF) rats fed either poorly digestible amylomaize or normal maize starch diets. Intestinal morphometry and position of labelled enterocytes were studied at various times after tritiated thymidine injection. With amylomaize starch diet, no difference was observed in the size of crypts (C),...
