Objective: The gastrointestinal tract of sheep contain complex microbial communities that influence numerous aspects of the sheep's health and development. The objective of this study was to analyze the composition and diversity of the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract sections (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and rectum) of sheep. Methods: This analysis was performed by 454 pyrosequencing using the V3-V6 region of the 16S rRNA genes. Samples were collected from five healthy, small tailed Han sheep aged 10 months, obtained at market. The bacterial composition of sheep gastrointestinal microbiota was investigated at the phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species levels. Results: The dominant bacterial phyla in the entire gastrointestinal sections were Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria. In the stomach, the three most dominant genera in the sheep were Prevotella, unclassified Lachnospiraceae, and Butyrivibrio. In the small intestine, the three most dominant genera in the sheep were Escherichia, unclassified Lachnospiraceae, and Ruminococcus. In the large intestine, the three most dominant genera in the sheep were Ruminococcus, unclassified Ruminococcaceae, and Prevotella. R. flavefaciens, B. fibrisolvens, and S. ruminantium were three most dominant species in the sheep gastrointestinal tract. Principal Coordinates Analysis showed that the microbial communities from each gastrointestinal section could be separated into three groups according to similarity of community composition: stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and large intestine (cecum, colon, and rectum). Conclusion: This is the first study to characterize the entire gastrointestinal microbiota in sheep by use of 16S rRNA gene amplicon pyrosequencing, expanding our knowledge of the gastrointestinal bacterial community of sheep.

This study was performed for the purpose of investigating the possibility of epithelization on the defect of digestive tract after covering it with serosal wall of the cecum in the dog. The results obtained were as fallows: 1. Each defect of the digestive tract revealed almost complete formation of the mucous membrane and the muscle. Especially it was most fast in the jejunum. 2. Fistula formation was not found in all the experimental cases. The defects of small intestine and large intestine near the cecum were healed more fastly than the other portion. 3. The stomach and the duodenum appeared intestinal adhetion more frequently than the jejunum and the colon. Therefore, it is considered that covering with serosal wall of the cecum in the lower intestine is far better than in the upper intestine.

Carcinoid tumors can be ubiquitous, but most will originate in four sites: appendix [38%], small intestine[24%], rectum[13%] or bronchus[11.6%]. And bronchial carcinoids are rare, accounting for only 1% to 6% of all primary lung tumors. Familial adenomatous polyposis cali, the most common form of the polyposis syndromes attributable to a genetic defect, is defined by demonstration of at least 100 adenomatous polyps in the large intestine. We experienced a case of typical bronchial carcinoid with familial adenomatous polyposis cali in 23 year old female patient, which was surgically treated by left lower lobectomy.

A 2-years-old female domesticated mouflon with a clinical history of chronic diarrhea and emaciation was submitted to NVRQS. Grossly, there were severe thickening of small intestine wall and enlargement of mesenteric lymph nodes. Microscopically, severe granulomatous inflammation was found in small and large intestine, mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen and liver. By Ziehl-Neelsen stain, innumerable acid-fast rod bacteria were found in the cytoplasm of epitheloid and Langhans type giant cells present in these organs. By PCR assay with primer pair specific for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis(IS 900) with small intestine sample, strong positive reaction was detected, although the organism was not isolated from this organ. Based on the results of histopathology and PCR, we concluded that the case was a typical paratuberculosis in mouflon. As far as we know, this is the first case report of paratuberculosis in mouflon Korea.

Objectives : While Comparative Pulse Diagnosis of Renying pulse(人迎脈) and Cunkou pulse(寸口脈) is one of the three major pulse diagnostic methods in "Huangdineijing" along with Three Positions and Nine Indicators Pulse Diagnosis(三部九候脈診法) and Cunkou Pulse Diagnosis(寸口脈診法), it has died out in later periods. This study aims to examine this lost method. Methods : Annotations of "Huangdineijing" were examined along with descriptions of the author's own experience. Results & Conclusions : Renying is the Renying(人迎) point from the Stomach Channel(ST), while Cunkou is the Taiyuan(太淵) point from the Lung Channel(LU). These two points are compared in order to determine the deficiency and excess of the Zangfu(臟腑). Normal pulses(平脈) are Soft(軟脈) or Moderate(緩脈), while Stirred pulses(躁脈) are Stringy(弦脈), Tight(緊脈), Slippery(滑脈) or Long(長脈). If the Renying is once active where Shaoyang pulse is active, purge the Gallbladder and supplement the Liver. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Triple Burner and supplement the Pericardium. If the Renying is twice active where Taiyang pulse is active, purge the Bladder and supplement the Kidney. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Small Intestine and supplement the Heart. If the Renying is three times active, where Yangming pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Large Intestine and supplement the Lung. If the Cunkou is once active where the Jueyin pulse is active, purge the Liver and supplement the Gallbladder. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Pericardium and supplement the Triple Energizer. If the Cunkou is twice active where the Shaoyin pulse is active, purge the Kidney and supplement the Bladder. If there is stirred pulse, purge the Heart and supplement the Small Intestine. If the Cunkou is three times active where the Taiyin pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Lung and supplement the Large Intestine.
