Background: Cadmium is a potent toxicant and carcinogenic in human and experimental animals. The evidence indicates that cadmium induces aberrant gene expression, inhibition of DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of IP (intraperitoneal) injection of cadmium on mRNA levels expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes in rat small intestine. <s...

Objective- In this study, the general anatomical features of the digestive tube and the transit time of the digestive tube of the Zarudni’s spur-thighed tortoises were examined by contrast radiology. Design - Experimental study. Animals - 4 adult female Zarudni’s Spur-thighed Tortoises (Testudo graeca zarudnyi). Procedures- At a temperature of 25-27°c a set of dorsoventral rad...

BACKGROUND Although Crohn's disease (CD) is thought to predispose to adenocarcinomas of the small bowel, the association has not been well studied in an older population. AIMS The objective of our study was to evaluate the association of CD with small bowel cancer in a population-based case-control study. METHODS All cases of small bowel cancer in persons 67 and older in the Surveillance, E...

background: therapeutic and diagnosis properties of radioactive gold nanoparticle (198-aunps) cause them to be suitable for detection and treatment of tumors. objective: electrical and optical properties of peg-198aunps were examined in this paper. polyethylene glycol (peg)-198 aunps can be used for treatment and diagnosis of small intestine tumors. methods: wireless fluorescence capsule endosc...

Food intake of rats increases during pregnancy. This requires changes in the structure of the small intestine to absorb additional food. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphological changes in the layers of small intestine in rats during pregnancy. Duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 18 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (day 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy) were collected. Villous height a...

This study was conducted because of influence of prebiotics (alphamune) and symbiotic (biomin) on histometrical development of small intestine and lymphatic tissue of caecal tonsil have been not reported on broiler chicken. In this study, different parts of small intestine and caecal tonsil, which is a major area of gut associated lymphatic tissue (GALT) in chicken were selected. One hundred an...

conclusion most cte findings correlated with cdai and crp in patients with active crohn’s disease. background the accurate evaluation of crohn’s disease activity is important for the treatment of the disease and for monitoring the response. computerized tomography (ct) enterography is a useful imaging modality that reflects enteric inflammation, as well as extramural complications. objectives t...

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is the syndrome associated with Mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Many of the patients diagnosed with secretory IPSID have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. Most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...
