Eine Mannitollösung als orales Kontrastmittel in der pelvinen MRT
1995
PURPOSE Improvement of pelvic MRI using peroral administration of an aqueous mannitol solution. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated magnetic resonance examinations of 72 patients with suspected or proven pelvic abnormalities: In 36 patients, no bowel marking was carried out. In further 36 patients, we performed a contrast enhancement of the bowel by oral application of 1000 ml of an aqueous mannitol solution. RESULTS 8/36 (22%) patients suffered from diarrhoea, nausea or meteorism as a result of mannitol application. In group 2, an excellent bowel marking of the small intestine could be obtained in 36/36 (100%) patients. Contrast enhancement of the bowel significantly improved delineation …
CD36 Displays Features of a Lipid-Sensor Involved in Chylomicron Processing in the Rodent Small Intestine
2010
International audience; The membrane glycoprotein CD36 binds nanomolar concentrations of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) and is highly expressed on the luminal surface of enterocytes. CD36 deficiency reduces chylomicron production through unknown mechanisms.In this report, we provide novel insights into the potential underlying mechanisms. Our in vivo data demonstrated that CD36 gene deletion in mice did not affect LCFA uptake and their subsequent esterification into triglycerides by the intestinal mucosa at micellar LCFA concentrations prevailing in the intestine. In rodents, CD36 protein early disappeared from the luminal side of intestinal villi during the post-prandial period but only whe…
Adverse Effects of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on the Small and Large Bowel
1999
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) account for a large part of prescriptions and self-administered medication worldwide. The adverse effects on the upper gastrointestinal tract are well documented. However, in an increasing number of publications adverse effects in the small and large intestine distal to the duodenum are being reported. This paper provides an updated review of current as well as earlier literature on the pathogenesis of such adverse effects and the potential damage to the small and large bowel caused by NSAID. In addition, suggestions for an appropriate diagnostic workup of NSAID damage are discussed.
Zespół przerostu bakteryjnego jelita cienkiego
2021
Zespół przerostu bakteryjnego jelita cienkiego (SIBO) jest heterogennym zespołem charakteryzującym się wzrostem liczby i/lub obecnością nietypowych bakterii w jelicie cienkim. Na złożoną etiologię SIBO składają się zaburzenia ochronnych mechanizmów przeciwbakteryjnych jak zmniejszona kwaśność soku żołądkowego, zewnątrzwydzielnicza niewydolność trzustki, zespoły niedoboru odporności oraz nieprawidłowości anatomiczne jak niedrożność jelita cienkiego, uchyłki, przetoki, hirurgiczna ślepa pętla, wcześniejsze resekcje krętniczo-kątnicze oraz zaburzenia ruchliwości. Objawy kliniczne SIBO mogą być niespecyficzne. Najczęściej występuje niestrawność, biegunka, wzdęcia, dyskomfort w jamie brzusznej. …
