seeds of moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori. (moringaceae) is widely used in south east of iran for gastrointestinal disorders. however, so far there is no pharmacological evidence for antispasmodic activity of this plant extract. therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate antispasmodic activity of m. peregrina on rat isolated ileum contraction. hydroalcoholic extract was obtained by...

Introduction. The aim of the study was to evaluate our children who are operated on for anomalous congenital band while increasing the awareness of this rare reason of intestinal obstruction in children which causes a diagnostic challenge. Patients and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the records of fourteen children treated surgically for intestinal obstructions caused by anomalous congeni...

pharmacological activities of 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-hexanonic acid (hmpha), a phenolic compound, isolated from the extract of pycnocycla spinosa was investigated on ileum motility in vivo and in vitro . ileum motility was examined by measuring charcoal movement through the gut in mice. in addition, antidiarrhoeal activity of hmpha was assessed and compared with standard drug; loperamide...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerial parts of stachys lavandulifolia vahl. extract on the rat ileum contractions. the crude extract was prepared by maceration method (90% methanol) followed by fractionating into chloroform, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether and water. in adult male wistar rats, ileum was sectioned and mounted in tissue bath and their contractility was reco...

Atresia of the distal ileum concurrent with ileocaecal valve agenesis is one of the rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in the literature. We herein present a case of type II distal ileal atresia, ileocaecal valve agenesis and volvulus of the ileum and the terminal jejunum with a history of depression, anorexia and failure to pass meconium. On necropsy, volvulus of the ileum ...

The characteristics of glucose, glycine, L-alanine, and glycyl-L-alanine absorption from the jejunum and ileum have been compared in normal human subjects. A perfusion technique has been used, and correct positioning of the perfusion tube has been confirmed by measuring the differential jejunal and ileal handling of bicarbonate. Glucose and glycine were absorbed faster from the jejunum than fro...

PURPOSE To study the feasibility and to gauge the potential clinical impact of quantifying small bowel motility using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a larger population with a spectra of gastrointestinal conditions with impaired small bowel motility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were gathered retrospectively from a cohort of 127 patients undergoing MR enterography (1.5 Tesla) in 2011. Cine...

Mazzon E, Cuzzocrea S. Role of TNFin ileum tight junction alteration in mouse model of restraint stress. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 294: G1268–G1280, 2008. First published February 28, 2008; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00014.2008.—Restraint stress induces permeability changes in the small intestine, but little is known about the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)in the defects of the TJ fun...

BACKGROUND several diseases such as sepsis can affect the ileum. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin present in the cell wall of gram negative bacteria, is a causative agent of sepsis. OBJECTIVES the aims of this study were: a) to investigate the role of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the effect of LPS on the acetylcholine-induced contractions of rabbit ileum; and b) to study...
