Loperamide에 의한 변비는 위 배출, 소장 및 대장 운동성을 감소시켰으며, 과채복합추출물(Fruit and vegetable complex extracts, FVCE)은 이러한 효과를 예방한다. 우리는 다음과 같은 실험에서 로페로마이드(3mg/kg, sc, 14일)로 유발된 변비 수컷 Sprague-Dawley 쥐에 대한 프락토올리고당 및 과채복합추출물의 효과를 조사하였다. 쥐를 무작위로 정상대조군 쥐(일반식이), 변비 쥐(일반식이 + 로페로마이드), 200mg FVCE(200mg/kg/day FVCE + 로페로마이드가 보충된 일반 식이)로 처리한 변비 쥐, 400mg FVCE로 처리한 변비 쥐(200mg/kg/day FVCE와 로페로마이드가 보충된 일반 식단)으로 시험군을 구성하였다. 대조군 쥐에 비해 로페로마이드로 처리된 쥐에서 대변 배설량이 적고 대변 수분 함량이 더 낮았다. FVCE을 경구투여 하면 분변배설량의 감소를 억제하고 로페로마이드로 처리된 쥐의 대변 수분 함량. 로페로마이드를 처리한 쥐에서는 대장선와세포의 점액 생성과 대변 및 점막표면의 점액 함량이 감소하였다. 그러나 FVCE 처리군에서는 대장선와세포의 뮤신 함량이 증가하였고, Aclain blue로 염색된 점액층은 로페로마이드 처리군에 비해 FVCE 처리군에서 유의적으로 두꺼워졌다. 쥐 회장에서 로페로마이드는 회장 운동성을 억제한다. 이러한 결과는 FVCE가 로페로마이드에 의한 대장 연동 운동 억제 완화에 효과적이며 FVCE추출물이 변비 예방에 효과적 일 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

A growth trial and a digestibility trial were conducted to examine the effect of feed particle size on the performance, nutrient digestibility, gastric ulceration and intestinal morphology in pigs fed barley-based diets. Barley was processed through a hammer mill to achieve four diets varying in particle size (average particle $size{\pm}standard $deviation): coarse ($1,100{\pm}2.19\;{\mu}m$), medium ($785{\pm}2.23\;{\mu}m$), fine ($434{\pm}1.70\;{\mu}m$) and mixed (1/3 of coarse, medium and fine) ($789{\pm}2.45\;{\mu}m$). Sixty-four entire male pigs were used in the growth trial and the diets were fed ad libitum between 31 kg and 87 kg live weight. Following slaughter, stomach and ileal tissues were scored for integrity (ulceration or damage) and histological measurements taken. Twenty-four entire male pigs were used in the digestibility trial, which involved total faecal collection. Over the entire growth phase, there were no differences (p>0.05) in average daily gain and feed conversion ratio between pigs fed diets of different particle size. Pigs fed the coarse and medium diets had lower (p<0.05) stomach ulceration scores (0.20 and 0.25, respectively, on a scale from 0 to 3) than those fed the mixed (0.69) or the fine diets (1.87). The stomachs of all animals fed the fine diet had lesions and stomach ulcerations were present only in this group. Pigs fed the fine diet had thicker (p<0.001) ileal epithelial cell layer with no differences (p>0.05) being observed for villous height or crypt depth. Faecal digestibility coefficients of neutral and acid detergent fibre were the highest (p<0.05) for the mixed diet, intermediate for the fine and coarse diets and the lowest for the medium diet. A similar numerical trend (p = 0.103) was observed for the apparent faecal energy digestibility coefficient. It is concluded that, with barley based diets, a variation in average particle size between $400{\mu}m$ and $1,100{\mu}m$ had no effect on pig performance but the fine dietary particle size affected the integrity of the stomach, as well as the structure of the small intestine, thus compromising overall gut health. Our data also demonstrate that changes in particle size distribution during the digestion process, rather than average particle size or particle size variation, are related to apparent faecal digestibility.

The morphologic changes of small intestinal epithelium in pigs diagnosed as porcine epidemic diarrhea(PED} by virus isolation and immunohistochemistry were studied through light microscope and transmissible electron microscope. On semi-thin section, the histologic findings showed severe villous atrophy and fusion with hyperplasia of cuboidal epithelium in the villi, inflammatory cell infiltration in lamina propria, and increased mitotic figures in the crypt. The structural changes were mostly restricted to the cytoplasm of affected absorptive epithelium of villi. 3 types of epithelial changes were found; degenerated virus-affected cells, undifferentiated cuboidal cells, and normal columnar cells. On electron microscopy, round to spherical viral particles of 50∼l00nm in diameter were found within the dilated vesicles and endoplasmic reticulums of degenerated cells, which had decreased their cytoplasmic electron density due to dilated and missing organelles(e.g. mitochondria, ERs, etc.). Microvilli were shortened and sparse, leaving denuded terminal web of the villous epithelial cells. Fat globules were often found within slightly degenerated enterocytes. On the tip of villi, severely damaged cells were exfoliated and replaced by undifferentiated cuboidal cells We found distinct ultrastructural changes in the jejunal epithelium confirming PED virus infection is involved in malabsorptive diarrhea.

Background/Aims: While the occurrence of multiple whitish flat elevated lesions (MWFL) was first reported in 2007, no studies on MWFL have been published to date. The present retrospective observational study aimed to clarify the endoscopic findings and clinicopathological features of MWFL. Methods: Subjects were consecutive patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy as part of routine screening between April 2014 and March 2015. The conventional white-light, non-magnifying and magnifying narrow-band images were reviewed. Clinical features were compared between patients with and without MWFL. Results: The conventional endoscopic findings of MWFL include multiple whitish, flat, and slightly elevated lesions of various sizes, mainly located in the gastric body and fundus. Narrow-band imaging enhanced the contrast of MWFL and background mucosa, and magnifying narrow-band imaging depicted a uniformly long, narrow, and elliptical marginal crypt epithelium with an unclear microvascular pattern. Histopathological findings revealed hyperplastic changes of the foveolar epithelium, and parietal cell protrusions and oxyntic gland dilatations were observed in the fundic glands, without any intestinal metaplasia. The rate of acid-reducing drug use was significantly higher in patients with MWFL than in those without (100% [13/13] vs. 53.7% [88/164], p<0.001). Conclusions: The present study indicated a relationship between the presence and endoscopic features of MWFL and history of acid-reducing drug use.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary corn resistant starch (RS) on the intestinal morphology and barrier functions of broilers. Methods: A total of 320 one-day-old broilers were randomly allocated to 5 dietary treatments: one normal corn-soybean (NC) diet, one corn-soybean-based diet supplementation with 20% corn starch (CS), and 3 corn-soybean-based diets supplementation with 4%, 8%, and 12% corn resistant starch (RS) (identified as 4% RS, 8% RS, and 12% RS, respectively). Each group had eight replicates with eight broilers per replicate. After 21 days feeding, one bird with a body weight (BW) close to the average BW of their replicate was selected and slaughtered. The samples of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum digesta, and blood were collected. Results: Birds fed 4% RS, 8% RS and 12% RS diets showed lower feed intake, BW gain, jejunal villus height (VH), duodenal crypt depth (CD), jejunal VH/CD ratio, duodenal goblet cell density as well as mucin1 mRNA expressions compared to the NC group, but showed higher concentrations of cecal acetic acid and butyric acid, percentage of jejunal proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells and delta like canonical Notch ligand 4 (Dll4), and hes family bHLH transcription factor 1 mRNA expressions. However, there were no differences on the plasma diamine oxidase activity and D-lactic acid concentration among all groups. Conclusion: These findings suggested that RS could suppress intestinal morphology and barrier functions by activating Notch pathway and inhibiting the development of goblet cells, resulting in decreased mucins and tight junction mRNA expression.

Fibriuraseouensis와 요꼬가와흡충을 흰쥐에 혼합감염시키고 충체 회수율과 소장 병 변을 각 충체를 단독 감염시켰을 때와 비교하였다. 동시 감염군은 흰쥐 한 마리에 두 흡충의 피낭유충을 각각 1,000개씩 감염시키고 20일 후에 도살하였다. 도전 감염군은 F. seoulensis 피낭유충을 1,000개씩 감염시키고 10일 후에 요꼬가와흡충 피낭유층 1,000개씩으로 도전 감염 시켰으며 그 10일 후에 도살하였다. 동시 감염 군에서 F. seoulensis와 요꼬가와흡충은 각각 평균 250마리와 118 마리가 회수되어 단독 감염군과 아주 비슷하였지만 F.seoulensis의 경우 십이지장에서 평균 223마리로 단독 감염 군보다 높았으며 공장에서는 26마리로 낮았다. 도전 감염군에서 F. seoulensis의 총 충체 회수율은 단독 감염군과 비슷하였으며 부위별로는 동시 감염군과 같았으나 요꼬가와흡충은 평 균 69마리가 회수되어 단독 감염 군보다 현저히 낮았으며 십이지장에서 평균 7마리, 공장에서 평균 45마리, 회장에서 평균 17마리가 회수되어 기생부위가 넓어겼고 공장보다 회장에서 더 많은 충체가 회수된 단독 감염군과 달랐다. 동시 감염군에서 십이지장의 융모는 비후, 융합, 단축이 흑 seodenis 단독 감염군에 비하여 매우 심하였으며 선와 상피세포가 과증식되었으나 기질층의 염증 세포 침윤은 덜했다. 공장과 회장의 융모 위축은 요꼬가와흡충 단독 감염 군보다 가벼웠다. 도전 감 염군은 동시 감염군과 유사하였으나 십이지장의 선와 상피세포 증식은 심하지 않았으며 공장과 회장의 접막하조직에 염증반응이 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 소장 상부에 먼저 기생하고 있는 F. seoulensis는 소장응모의 위축과 염증을 일으켜 나중에 감염되는 요꼬가와흡충에게 불리한 환경을 조성함으로써 이 흡충이 소장 하부에 정착하는데 영향을 미친다고 생각된다.

Purpose : Phospholipase C(PLC) isozymes play significant roles in transmembrane signal transduction. PLC-${\gamma}1$ acts as the intracellular effector in signal transduction for cellular proliferation and differentiation. Ras oncoprotein is also involved in cell growth. We determined the biological significance of PLC and ras oncoprotein in regeneration following radiation and the effect of different modes of administration of 5-FU. Materials and Methods : To determine the effect of the administration mode of 5-FU on the regeneration of intestinal mucosa of rats following radiation, we compared the expression of PLC and ras oncoprotein in six groups. Group I had no treatment. Group II received radiation(8 Gy) only. Group III received radiation(8 Gy) and 5-FU(150mg/kg) continuous intravenous (iv) infusion for 12 hours. Group IV received radiation(8 Gy) and 5-FU(750mg/kg) iv bolus injection. Group V received only 5-FU(150mg/kg) continuous iv infusion for 12 hours, Group VI received only 5-FU (150mg/kg) iv bolus injection. Through immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry, we examined the expression of PLC and ras oncoprotein in rat jejunum at 96 hours after radiation or 5-FU administration and at 120 hours after radiation and 5-FU adminstration. We also investigated the histological findings using hematoxylin and eosin stain. Results : In the immunohistochemistry study, PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression was the highest in group III followed by groups II and VI in that order and was weakly positive in groups V and VI. PLC-${\gamma}1$ was hardly detected in the control group. The expression of ras oncoprotein was the same as the PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression for all groups. These results were confirmed by the histological findings regarding the mucosal regeneration. In the immunoblotting analysis, PLC-${\gamma}1$ expression was the highest in group III followed by group IV and II in that order. This difference between the immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry study was due to the high expression of PLC-${\gamma}1$ on the damaged surface epithelium rather than to its expression in the regeneration region as observed in the immunohistochemistry study for group IV. The expression of PLC-${\delta}1$ was positive only in group V and VI, which received both radiation and 5-FU, and the expression of PLC-${\beta}1$ was negligible for all groups. Conclusion : These results suggest that PLC-${\gamma}1$ mediated signal transduetion and ras oncoprotein may have a significant role in mucosal regeneration after radiation, and that continuous iv infusion of 5-FU may induce active regeneration in intestinal mucosa following radiation. In addition, the expression of PLC-${\delta}1$ in combined group of radiation and 5-FU implies that PLC-${\delta}1$ may be involved in signal transduction mediated by concerted action between radiation and 5-FU.

목적 : bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor)는 섬유아세포(fibroblast)에서 분비하는 대표적인 성장인자로 섬유아세포뿐 아니라 간질조직과 골수 및 다른 상피 근원세포의 성장에도 관여하며 방사선보호제 역할에 관한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 이 연구는 방사선보호제로서의 bFGF의 기능을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 간엽조직 기원(mesenchymal origin)인 마우스육종 180 종양세포를 생쥐 대퇴부 피하에 이식하고 bFGF를 투여한 후 전신방사선조사(6, 8, 10 Gy)하여 생쥐의 생존률을 조사하고 bFGF (3, $6\;{\mu}g$/쥐)의 방사선보호효과를 관찰하였다. 동시에 이식한 마우스 180 고형종양을 국소방사선조사한 후 bFGF가 종양성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 또한 bFGF에 의한 방사선보호효과의 기전을 이해 하고자 소장점막, 골수, 폐조직 및 이식종양조직에 대한 병리 조직학적 검사와 DNA terminal transferase nick-end labeling assay 방법으로 아포프토시스(apoptosis) 빈도를 측정하였다. 결과 : 1) 방사선조사단독군에 비해 방사선조사와 $6\;{\mu}g$ bFGF 투여병행군에서 생쥐의 골수치사를 감소시켜 생존률이 증가되었다(p<0.05). 2) 방사선조사단독군에 비해 방사선조사와 $6\;{\mu}g$ bFGF 투여병행군에서 공장 소낭선 깊이 및 미세융모 길이가 의의 있게 증가되었다(p<0.05). 소낭선세포의 아포프토시스 빈도는 방사선조사단독군에 비해 방사선조사와 bFGF 투여병행군에서 방사선조사후 8시간, 24시간에 감소하였으며 bFGF를 고용량 투여한 군에서 뚜렷하였다. 3) 골수조직에서는 방사선조사 후 7일, 14일째 세포 밀도가 방사선조사단독군에 비해 방사선조사와 $6\;{\mu}g$ bFGF 투여병행군에서 증가하였으며 특히 거핵구(megakaryocyte) 계열의 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 4) 폐조직의 H-E 염색 조직소견에서 방사선단독군과 방사선조사와 bFGF 투여병행군 간의 차이는 없었다. 5) 골수 및 폐 조직에서 bFGF 투여에 따른 초기 아포프토시스 빈도의 차이는 려었다(p>0.05). 6) 양성대조군과 bFGF단독투여군 비교시 bFGF투여에 의한 종양성장은 관찰되지 않았으며(p>0.05) 방사선조사단독군과 방사선조사와 $6\;{\mu}g$ bFGF 투여병행군에서도 종양성장곡선의 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 결론 : 이상의 결과로 bFGF는 소장점막 및 골수세포에 방사선보호효과가 있었으며 그 기전은 조혈모세포 및 소장낭선세포의 성장 및 재생을 촉진하고 조기에 방사선으로 유도된 아포프토시스를 감소시키기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Mutation of the gene for adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), as seen in Apc^Min/+ mice, leads to intestinal adenomas and carcinomas via stabilization of β-catenin. Transmembrane 4 L six family member 5 (TM4SF5) is involved in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, fibrosis, and cancer. However, the functional linkage between TM4SF5 and APC or β-catenin has not been investigated for pathological outcomes. After interbreeding Apc^Min/+ with TM4SF5-overexpressing transgenic (Tg^TM4SF5) mice, we explored pathological outcomes in the intestines and livers of the offspring. The intestines of 26-week-old dual-transgenic mice (Apc^Min/+:Tg^TM4SF5) had intramucosal adenocarcinomas beyond the single-crypt adenomas in Apc^Min/+ mice. Additional TM4SF5 overexpression increased the stabilization of β-catenin via reduced glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) phosphorylation on Ser9. Additionally, the livers of the dualtransgenic mice showed distinct sinusoidal dilatation and features of hepatic portal hypertension associated with fibrosis, more than did the relatively normal livers in Apc^Min/+ mice. Interestingly, TM4SF5 overexpression in the liver was positively linked to increased GSK3β phosphorylation (opposite to that seen in the colon), β-catenin level, and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression, indicating fibrotic phenotypes. Consistent with these results, 78-week-old Tg^TM4SF5 mice similarly had sinusoidal dilatation, immune cell infiltration, and fibrosis. Altogether, systemic overexpression of TM4SF5 aggravates pathological abnormalities in both the colon and the liver.
