... = 69), 50 patients (72%) showed no peritoneal findings. In the patients (n = 56) who required intestinal resection, 38 patients (68%) showed no peritoneal findings. As for co-morbidity, 49 patients (45%) had AF. Seventy-four patients (67%) were diagnosed with AMI by the image diagnostics, but 28...

...Xiangdong Wang; Vasile Soltesz; Jan Axelson; Roland Andersson Enteric bacterial translocation into extraintestinal sites has been proposed as a potential route for bacterial infection in acute liver failure. Bacterial overgrowth in the intestine plays an important role in the etiology of bacterial...

... tumor. However, long-term follow-up of these individuals suggests that these patients probably will recur. Debulking surgery, that is removal of part but not all disease, has been advocated by some to decrease symptoms secondary to hormone secretion, relieve intestinal obstruction and ischemia...

...M. Kaouass; P. Deloyer; G. Dandrifosse The present investigation addresses the question of whether spermine orally given to unweaned rats directly or indirectly exerts its effect on the intestinal brush border disaccharidases and if the adrenal gland secretions play a role in this phenomenon...

Gespach The permanent SLC-11 and -41 intestinal epithelial cells respectively immortalized by the E1A and large T oncogenes and their clonal derivatives showed a cytogenetic heterogeneity characterized by a near...

...Patricia Simon-Assmann; Pauline Simo; Françoise Bouziges; Katy Haffen; Michèle Kedinger Are the basement membrane (BM) molecules involved in epithelial-mesenchymal cell interactions known to be instrumental in intestinal development and differentiation? Several findings argue in favor...

...H.P. Schedl; J. Schwartz; H.D. Wilson Depressed somatic growth in the rat with streptozotocin diabetes is associated with greatly enhanced intestinal growth. In patients with diabetes mellitus, growth hormone is elevated. Therefore, we measured the association between gut growth and serum growth...

... of a malnutrition syndrome. The aim of this work was to precise to what extent the intestinal injuries may account for this malnutrition. PHA was administered for 9 days to growing rats at levels ranging from 0.0025 to 0.25% of food dry matter. One group of controls was fed ad libitum and other groups were...

...G.C. Cook; I.S. Menzies Differential absorption of D -xylose and 3-O-methyl- D -glucose, and unmediated intestinal permeation of lactulose and L-rhamnose has been investigated in 14 patients with diarrhoea following tropical exposure and in 16 healthy control subjects. Five had malabsorption of fat...

...J.J. Hajjar; T. Tomicic; R.L. Scheig Intestinal absorption of leucine was measured in vivo in rats given ethanol for 7 weeks either through a liquid diet or through drinking water and the results were compared with pair-fed and ad libitum-fed control rats. Total leucine absorption by the entire...

... the pancreatic weight, its protein and DNA content. A 90% jejunoileal resection alone increased markedly these parameters while mitotic figures appeared in acinar cells. Pyloroplasty, vagotomy and antrectomy did not modify the changes induced by intestinal resection itself except the level of protein...

...H. Seitz; P. Czygan; B. Kommerell The effect of chronic ethanol administration on the incorporation of 3 H-thymidine into DNA of isolated intestinal cells in the rat was investigated. Chronic ethanol consumption increased significantly DNA synthesis in intestinal mucosal cells. Whether...

...O.E. Eade; S.St. Andre-Ukena; W.L. Beeken Mechanical, enzymatic and chelating methods for isolating rat intestinal epithelial cells were compared to determine the best technique for obtaining high yields of viable cells. The mechanical techniques resulted in consistently poor viability compared...

... corresponds to the crypt-villus axis in the adult small intestine, is essential for a rapid cell renewal of the epithelium throughout adulthood and is important from the clinical viewpoint. All of the adult intestinal epithelial cells originate from multipotent stem cells localized in the basal region...

...Takayoshi Kiba The mammalian intestinal epithelium is a unique model for studying cellular differentiation since it undergoes continuous and rapid renewal. Substantial new information has accumulated on the mechanisms of regulation of the gene expression (e.g. Wnt, Hedgehog, bone morphogenic...

... largely obscure. To shed light on this issue, we have analyzed in this study the complementarity determining region (CDR) 3 of the T cell receptor (TCR) Vδ2 chains. This provides an insight into the antigenic immune response in the intestinal mucosa in sickness and health. Methodology: Total RNA...
