Impact of the advances in age on the gastrointestinal microflora of beagle dogs.

The gastrointestinal microflora of male beagle dogs in two different age groups; I) less than month 12 of age, and II) more than year 11 of age, was compared. No detectable difference occurred on the microflora of stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum in both dogs. Large bowel (cecum, colon and rectum) microflora in both dogs yielded the different microbial populations. In all regions of large bowel, the levels of bacteroides, eubacteria, peptostreptococci, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and staphylococci in the elderly dogs were lower than those in the younger animals, whereas the numbers of Clostridium perfringens and streptococci in the elderly animals were higher than those in the youngers. The high incidence of lecithinase-negative clostridia was observed with advances in age, but not that of spiral shaped rods. The result of this study shows that the advances in age of beagle dogs yield some changes in the microbial population of large bowel in the animals.     

采用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳技术分析小熊猫胃肠道菌群的多样性

本试验旨在研究小熊猫胃肠道菌群多样性。采用聚合酶链式反应(PCR)-变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)技术结合条带的克隆测序、聚类分析和主成分分析(PCA)检测小熊猫胃肠道菌群结构及多样性。结果表明:1)PCR-DGGE图谱显示小熊猫胃肠道中有大量菌群,且不同部位的菌群结构存在一定的差异,相邻肠段菌群结构具有一定的相似性。结肠和粪便样品的菌群多样性较高,其次为胃和直肠样品,而空肠和回肠样品菌群多样性较低。2)小熊猫胃肠道菌群PCR-DGGE图谱中测序的条带大多数归为厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroides)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia),共性条带主要是未培养拟杆菌门细菌(uncultured Bacteroidetes bacterium)、粪肠球菌(Enterococcus faecalis)、未培养梭状芽孢杆菌(uncultured Clostridium sp.)、乳酸乳球菌(Lactococcus lactis)和食窦魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria),其中厚壁菌门为优势菌群;特异性条带主要是丛毛单胞菌(Comamonas sp.)、梭菌属(Clostridium sp.)和Akkermansia。由此可见,小熊猫胃肠道中栖息着大量菌群,且其多样性按照胃肠道由前至后的顺序呈现高-低-高的趋势。     

Penetration in vitro of newly excysted juvenile flukes of Japanese Fasciola sp. through ligated intestines of rabbits, mice, rats and chickens.

Ligated intestines of rabbits, mice, rats and chickens were used to examine the penetration of newly excysted juvenile flukes of Japanese Fasciola sp. in vitro. In rabbit intestines, the penetration rate was relatively high in the rectum and duodenum. Penetration rates in the jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon were comparable to those in the rectum and duodenum, although it was lower in the appendix. In the case of mouse, juvenile flukes penetrated the duodenum, jejunum, cecum, and rectum at considerably high rates. In rat intestine, penetration by flukes was less in the duodenum and rectum, although flukes were detected in the jejunum. In chicken intestine, flukes barely penetrated the duodenum, jejunum and rectum. Consequently, newly excysted flukes of Fasciola sp. seem to penetrate any region of the intestine in rabbits and mice. In rats, the middle small intestine may be the site suitable for flukes to penetrate. In chickens, the difficulty in penetration of the intestinal wall may be one of the reasons why chickens are scarcely infected with Fasciola sp.     

仔猪消化道菌群变化与仔猪腹泻的关系

通过对健康和腹泻仔猪消化道内(胃、十二指肠、空肠、回肠、盲肠、结肠和直肠)7个部位菌群取样后进行培养和分离鉴定，研究健康和腹泻仔猪间不同菌群关系的差异，揭示维持仔猪的正常消化代谢优势菌群的组成、比例和结构。结果发现：双歧杆菌和乳杆菌是健康仔猪消化道内数量最多的菌群，为优势菌群；韦荣氏球菌、肠杆菌、肠球菌在仔猪发生腹泻时明显增多，为有害菌群。有害菌群的增多抑制了有益优势菌群的生长，从而导致仔猪发生腹泻。     

Expression of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) in the dog intestine

In this study, the expression and distribution of monocarboxyolate transporter 1 (MCT1) along the intestines (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum) of dogs were investigated at both the mRNA and protein levels. The expression of MCT1 protein and its distribution were confirmed by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining using the antibody for MCT1. We identified mRNA coding for MCT1 and a 43-kDa band of MCT1 protein in all regions from the duodenum to the rectum. Immunoreactive staining for MCT1 was also observed in epithelial cells throughout the intestines. MCT1 immunoreactivity was greater in the large intestine than in the small intestine. MCT1 protein was predominantly expressed on the basolateral membranes along intestinal epithelial cells, suggesting that MCT1 may play an important role in lactate efflux and transport of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to the bloodstream across the basolateral membranes of the dog intestine.     

黄秋葵叶粉对海兰褐蛋鸡盲肠微生物及肠道组织结构的影响

 试验旨在研究饲料中添加黄秋葵叶粉对海兰褐壳蛋鸡肠道微生物及肠道组织结构的影响。选取处于同一生产水平的海兰褐壳蛋鸡450只,随机分为5组,每组3个重复,每个重复30只,试验组黄秋葵叶粉添加量分别为3%(T₃)、4%(T₄)、5%(T₅)、6%(T₆),对照组为不添加黄秋葵叶粉组(0%,T₀)。试验预试期1 W,正试期12 W。结果表明日粮中添加黄秋葵叶粉可在一定程度上降低大肠杆菌的数量,促进盲肠中双歧杆菌和乳酸杆菌的增殖,其中以4%添加量效果最好。在42  d和84 d时屠宰,试验组鸡回肠、空肠和十二指肠的肠壁厚度较对照组均有提高,其中84 d时各试验组空肠肠壁厚度极显著高于对照组(P＜0.01);试验组回肠、空肠和十二指肠的绒毛高度(VH)及绒毛高度/隐窝深度(V/C)均显著高于对照组;42 d时,试验组T₃、T₄回肠和各试验组空肠隐窝深度较对照组显著降低(P＜0.05),试验组十二指肠隐窝深度较对照组均有所下降,差异不显著;84 d时,各试验组回肠及T₃、T₄组空肠和十二指肠隐窝深度较对照组显著降低(P＜0.05)。这表明,日粮中添加适量黄秋葵叶粉在一定程度上具有改善蛋鸡肠道微生物菌群和肠道组织结构的作用,其中以4%的添加量效果最好。

Bacterial overgrowth in the duodenum of dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

Bacterial overgrowth (greater than 10(5) colony-forming units/ml duodenal juice) in the duodenum was demonstrated in 8 of 11 dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). In 4 of these 8 dogs, the overgrowth included large numbers (greater than 10(4) colony-forming units/ml) of obligate anaerobic bacteria and was associated with decreased activities of several brush border marker enzymes and, in 2 dogs, with partial villous atrophy in the jejunum. Changes in the jejunal mucosa of the remaining dogs (with either no overgrowth or overgrowth of aerobic bacteria alone) were characterized by increased activities of some brush border disaccharides and of lysosomal hydrolases. One dog was euthanatized without treatment, at the owner's request. The response of 4 of the remaining 10 dogs treated with enzyme replacement alone was poor or suboptimal, and all of these 4 dogs had bacterial overgrowth. One of these dogs had an excellent clinical response when also given oxytetracycline orally for 14 days, but the other 3 dogs did not improve further in response to the same treatment. It was concluded that bacterial overgrowth in the duodenum is common in dogs with EPI and that, when such overgrowth includes large numbers of obligate anaerobes, there may be associated biochemical and morphologic abnormalities in jejunal mucosa. Functional disturbances related to abnormal intestinal microflora may be responsible for the failure of some dogs with EPI to respond fully to oral pancreatic enzyme supplementation without antibiotic therapy.     

An immunohistochemical study of the gastrointestinal endocrine cells in the C57BL/6 mice

The regional distributions and relative frequencies of some gastrointestinal endocrine cells in the eight portions (fundus, pylorus, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum) of the gastrointestinal tract of C57BL/6 mouse was studied with immunohistochemical method using seven types of specific anti-sera against chromogranin A (CGA), serotonin, somatostatin, human pancreatic polypeptide (HPP), glucagon, gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK)-8. In this study, all these seven types of immunoreactive (IR) cells were identified. Most of these IR cells in the intestinal portion were generally spherical or spindle in shape (open-type cell) while cells showing round in shape (closed-type cell) were found in the intestinal gland and stomach regions occasionally. Their relative frequencies were varied according to each portion of gastrointestinal tract. CGA-IR cells were demonstrated throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract and they showed most predominant in the pylorus and duodenum. Serotonin-IR cells were detected throughout whole gastrointestinal tract and they showed highest frequency in the stomach and colon. Somatostatin-IR cells were demonstrated throughout whole gastrointestinal tract except for large intestine and showed highest frequency in the fundus. HPP-IR cells were found in the fundus with rare frequency. Peculiarly, glucagon-IR cells were restricted to the fundus, ileum and colon with a few frequencies. Gastrin-IR cells were restricted to the pylorus with numerous frequency and CCK-8-IR cells were observed in the pylorus, duodenum and jejunum with numerous and/or a few frequencies, respectively. In conclusion, some peculiar distributional patterns of gastrointestinal endocrine cells were found in C57BL/6 mouse.     

GHSR—1a在奶山羊胃肠道的分布与表达

试验采用免疫组织化学、Real—timePCR和Western blotting方法测定ghrelin的功能性受体GHSR-1a（Growth hormone seeretagogue receptor-1a,GHSR-1a）在奶山羊胃肠道的分布和表达。免疫组织化学结果显示,GHSR—1a免疫阳性细胞广泛分布于奶山羊胃肠道。在皱胃主要定位于黏膜层和肌层;瘤胃、网胃和瓣胃黏膜层及肌层中也可见GHSR-1a免疫阳性细胞;在小肠主要位于十二指肠、空肠和回肠的黏膜层、黏膜下层和肌层;在结肠、盲肠和直肠GHSR—1a免疫阳性细胞也有广泛分布;GHSR—1a主要表达于内在神经丛神经细胞、胃底腺上皮细胞、肠腺上皮细胞、复层鳞状上皮细胞、平滑肌细胞中。real—timePCR和Westernblotting结果显示,皱胃、十二指肠、空肠、回肠、盲肠、结肠和直肠GHSR—1a的表达水平相对较高,显著高于瘤胃、网胃和瓣胃的表达（P〈0．05）。结果表明,ghrelin可能通过GHsR-1a对奶山羊胃肠功能具有重要的调节作用。

The regional distribution and relative frequency of gastrointestinal endocrine cells in the nude mice, Balb/c-nu/nu: an immunohistochemical study

The distributions and frequencies of some endocrine cells in the eight portions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract - fundus, pylorus, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum of the nude mouse, Balb/c-nu/nu were studied with immunohistochemical method using six types of anti-sera against serotonin, gastrin, cholecystokinin (CCK)-8, somatostatin, glucagon and human pancreatic polypeptide (hPP). All of six types of immunoreactive (IR) cells were identified. Most of IR cells in the intestinal portion were generally spherical or spindle in shape (open type cell) while cells showing round in shape (close type cell) were found in the intestinal gland and stomach regions occasionally. Their relative frequencies were varied according to each portion of GI tract. Serotonin-IR cells were detected throughout the whole GI tract and they showed the highest frequency in the pylorus. Gastrin-IR cells were restricted to the pylorus and duodenum with numerous and a few frequencies, respectively. CCK-8-IR cells were also restricted to the pylorus, duodenum and jejunum with numerous, a few and rare frequencies, respectively. Somatostatin-IR cells were demonstrated throughout the whole GI tract except for the colon and rectum, and they showed the highest frequency in the fundus. In addition, glucagon- and hPP-IR cells were restricted to the fundus and rectum, respectively with a few frequencies. In conclusion, the general distribution patterns and relative frequency of GI endocrine cells of the nude mouse, Balb/c-nu/nu was similar to that of other strains of mice. However, some strain and/or species-dependent unique distributions and frequencies of endocrine cells were also observed especially for somatostatin- and hPP-IR cells.     

Leukocyte numbers and intestinal mucosal morphometrics in horses with no clinical intestinal disease

Healthy horses and other animals have large numbers of resident leukocytes in the intestinal wall, but there is scant information regarding which and how many leukocytes are normally present in the equine intestinal wall. Our aim was to provide a reference range of leukocytes in the intestinal mucosal and submucosal propria of normal horses. We included in our study intestinal tissues from 22 Thoroughbred racehorses with no clinical intestinal disease, which had been euthanized because of catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries. Neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages, and plasma cells were counted in 5 random 17,600-µm² areas of villus lamina propria of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, and deep lamina propria of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, right ventral colon, left ventral colon, left dorsal colon, right dorsal colon, and small colon. Other features investigated in the same intestinal segments included villus height and width (small intestine), presence of ciliated protozoa, Paneth cells number, subcryptal leukocyte layers (number of leukocyte layers between the bottom of the crypts and the muscularis mucosae), and submucosal leukocytes. Lymphocytes were the most numerous cells in all segments analyzed, followed by plasma cells, eosinophils, macrophages, and neutrophils. Eosinophil numbers were significantly higher in both lamina propria and submucosa of the large intestine than in the small intestine. The duodenum had shorter and thinner villi than either jejunum or ileum. The data provided from our study will be useful for diagnosticians examining inflammatory processes in the intestinal tract of horses.     

Histopathological and parasitological study of the gastrointestinal tract of dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum

Background

The aim of this study was to provide a systematic pathological and parasitological overview of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), including the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum and colon, of dogs naturally infected with Leishmania.

Methods

Twenty mongrel dogs naturally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and obtained from the Control Zoonosis Center of the Municipality of Ribeirão das Neves, Belo Horizonte Metropolitan area, Minas Gerais (MG) state, Brazil, were analyzed. The dogs were divided into two groups: Group 1 comprised nine clinically normal dogs and group 2 comprised 11 clinically affected dogs. After necropsy, one sample was collected from each GIT segment, namely the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum and colon. Furthermore, paraffin-embedded samples were used for histological and parasitological (immunohistochemistry) evaluation and a morphometrical study were carried out to determine the parasite load (immunolabeled amastigote forms of Leishmania). The Friedman and the Mann Whitney tests were used for statistical analysis. The Friedman test was used to analyze each segment of the GIT within each group of dogs and the Mann Whitney test was used to compare the GIT segments between clinically unaffected and affected dogs.

Results

The infected dogs had an increased number of macrophages, plasma cells and lymphocytes, but lesions were generally mild. Parasite distribution in the GIT was evident in all intestinal segments and layers of the intestinal wall (mucosal, muscular and submucosal) irrespective of the clinical status of the dogs. However, the parasite load was statistically higher in the caecum and colon than in other segments of the GIT.

Conclusion

The high parasite burden evident throughout the GIT mucosa with only mild pathological alterations led us to consider whether Leishmania gains an advantage from the intestinal immunoregulatory response (immunological tolerance).     

Ultrasonographic measurement of gastrointestinal wall thickness and the ultrasonographic appearance of the ileocolic region in healthy cats

Ultrasound evaluation was performed on 11 healthy cats to determine wall thickness measurements for the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon and to characterize the appearance of the ileocolic region. The terminal ileum had a characteristic "wagon wheel" appearance on cross-sectional images. Gastrointestinal wall thickness measurements were as follows: gastric fundus (mean, 2.0 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7 to 2.2 mm), pylorus (mean, 2.1 mm; 95% CI, 1.9 to 2.4 mm), duodenum (mean, 2.2 mm; 95% CI, 2.0 to 2.4 mm), jejunum (mean, 2.3 mm; 95% CI, 2.1 to 2.5 mm), ileum (mean, 2.8 mm; 95% CI, 2.5 to 3.2 mm), and colon (mean, 1.5 mm; 95% CI, 1.4 to 1.7 mm).     

小麦日粮非淀粉多糖和木聚糖酶对肉仔鸡肠道微生物区系的影响

采用传统微生物培养和PCR-DGGE 2种方法，针对肠道内几种微生物的数量和优势菌的多样性进行研究。将90只AA肉仔鸡随机分成3组，分别饲喂玉米-豆粕型，小麦-豆粕型和小麦-豆粕型添加木聚糖酶3种日粮。结果表明，小麦非淀粉多糖有增加肠道内几种微生物数量的趋势，其中显著增加了回肠和盲肠厌氧菌总数以及盲肠粪链球菌数量（P＜0．05），而PCR-DGGE结果表明，小麦NSP改变了肠道内微生物的种群结构，降低了种群的数量（P＜0．05）。添加木聚糖酶对回肠和盲肠的微生物数量以及种群数量有影响，但未表现出显著性差异（P＞0．05）。说明小麦非淀粉多糖作为微生物发酵的底物对肠道厌氧微生物产生了增殖效应，但却抑制了其他微生物的生长，导致肠道内微生物结构发生改变。     

紫茎泽兰对大鼠肠道结构和肠道黏膜免疫屏障的影响

为探究紫茎泽兰对动物肠道损伤及致毒机制,本试验选取16只7周龄雄性SD大鼠经7 d适应期后随机分为对照组（饲喂不含紫茎泽兰饲料,10 g·100 g^-1 BW）与试验组（饲喂含30%紫茎泽兰饲料,10 g·100 g^-1 BW）,试验周期为14 d,试验结束后取各肠段（取十二指肠、空肠、回肠、盲肠、结肠和直肠）组织样品,观察结构损伤,计数免疫细胞,测定sIgA（secretory immunoglobulin A,sIgA）和炎性细胞因子分泌量。结果表明：与对照组相比,紫茎泽兰可使十二指肠绒毛出血及顶端轻度坏死脱落,肠绒毛高度、隐窝深度及其比值极显著增加（P<0.01）;空肠充血并伴有绒毛顶端糜烂性坏死脱落,绒毛高度及绒毛高度与隐窝深度比值极显著增加（P<0.01）;回肠大量肠绒毛顶端凝固性坏死,并伴有出血与炎性浸润,绒毛高度、隐窝深度及其比值极显著增加（P<0.01）;盲肠水肿及充血;结肠淋巴细胞增多、直肠大量淋巴细胞浸润及淋巴细胞增生,其中以回肠和直肠机械损伤最为严重,回肠评分增加722.36%,直肠评分增加976.00%;试验组各肠段上皮内淋巴细胞（intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, IELs）、固有层淋巴细胞（lamina propria lymphocytes, LPLs）和杯状细胞（goblet cells, GCs）数量极显著增加（P<0.01）,同时还可极显著增加sIgA的分泌量（P<0.01）,极显著增加促炎因子IL-1β、IL-2、TNF-α和IFN-γ的表达量（P<0.01）,极显著降低抑炎因子IL-4、IL-10的表达（P<0.01）,激活肠道炎症反应,从而破坏肠道黏膜免疫屏障,造成肠道损伤。
