for this study the jejuni of 50 adult (2-4 years), apparently healthy iranian river buffaloes were collectedfrom the abattoir for gross morphology, histomorphology, and histomorphometry. our statistical analysisrevealed that, there are significant (p

a 33-year-old female presented with intermittent abdominal pain and severe attacks of lower gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding since 2 weeks. she has had history of irregular menses in last 3 months. in the labeled rbc-scan study, the bleeding site was detected in left upper quadrant (luq). in surgery, a tumor with the diameter of 2ã—1cm in a 65 cm distance of ligament of trietz was detected. in pa...

This study was conducted to explore whether exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) during pregnancy could change intestinal digestion and absorption function in offspring using pigs as a model, and whether methyl donor (MET) could counteract the BPA-induced impacts. Fifty Landrace × Yorkshire sows were divided into four dietary groups throughout gestation: control diet (CON); control diet supplemented w...

The effect of jejunal bypass on pancreatic growth and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) was investigated in rats. Rats underwent bypass of jejunum or sham operation. Rats with jejunal bypass were further divided into three groups; one group received a continuous infusion of a partially hydrolysed liquid diet (Vital) into the bypassed jejunum; a second group received the nutrient solution mixed with ...

Current evidence suggests that there are three sphincters that regulate the flow of chyme from stomach to the duodenum. We investigated the hypothesis whether a fourth 'physiologic sphincter' exists at the duodeno-jejunal junction. The pressure response of the jejunum, duodeno-jejunal junction and duodenum to individual balloon distension of the jejunum and duodenum was recorded in 28 healthy s...

in the present study, chicory root powder (crp) as growth promoter at 1% and 3% levels was supplemented in broilers’ diet to investigate the growth performance and histo-morphometry of jejunum. one hundred twenty, one-day-old male broilers were used in a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 treatments and 4 replicates (10 chicks per replicate). at the end of each period (0-10, 11-24 and 0-...

The small intestine has been considered inaccessible for a long term. The development of single-balloon endoscopy has greatly improved the diagnosis and treatment possibilities for small intestinal diseases.In this study, we aimed to explore the demographic characteristics and small intestinal diseases of patients who underwent single-balloon enteroscopy between 2009 and 2014 at our endoscopy c...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects inclusion a blend essential oils (capsaicin, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and eugenol) in broiler submitted thermal stress. Performance parameters gene expression heat shock protein (HSP70) were evaluated liver jejunum. Regarding performance, animals subjected stress had lower feed intake weight gain higher conversion. 3% increased HSP70 jeju...
