Disease relevance of Gastrointestinal Contents

• The increased acidity of small intestinal contents due to decreased bicarbonate secretion observed in patients with pancreatic insufficiency may alter the luminal environment and result in mucosal erosions and/or ulcerations in association with the presence of aspirin [1].
• Seven different species of Clostridium were the only bacteria isolated from the ethanol-treated specimen of intestinal contents from the large bowel of a patient [2].
• Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of DNA fragments obtained by PCR amplification of the V2-V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene was used to detect the presence of Lactobacillus species in the stomach contents of mice [3].
• However, a remarkable decline in the frequency of beta-haemolytic and O141 serovars of Escherichia coli was observed in the intestinal contents of probiotic piglets, suggesting an explanation for the reduction in cytotoxic T-cell populations [4].
• The stomach contents, vitreous humor glucose concentrations and liver glycogen content were similar in SIDS/and non-SIDS victims [5].

Psychiatry related information on Gastrointestinal Contents

• RESULTS: The agent KW5139 induced brief, weak contractions in the graft and had little effect on the dilated bowel; however, octreotide induced motor activity that propelled accumulated intestinal contents into the colon and reduced dilation of the transplanted bowel [6].

High impact information on Gastrointestinal Contents

• Weight and nitrite concentration of the stomach contents dropped linearly and the amount of nitrite dropped exponentially (with a half-life of 1.4 hr) [7].
• Gastric bacterial overgrowth with gram-negative bacilli was associated with the presence of bilirubin in the stomach contents [8].
• Radioactivity detected in the liver, bile, small intestine, and intestinal contents was profoundly reduced by the coinjection excess of unlabeled EGF [9].
• Peripheral tissues contained virtually only cleared taurocholate, but the intestinal contents were mainly free cholate [10].
• Flow of intestinal contents was measured by indicator (phenolsulfonphthalein) dilution over a 20-cm segment; flow was related to motility at the perfusion site [11].

Chemical compound and disease context of Gastrointestinal Contents

• Supplementation with salinomycin and zinc bacitracin, alone or in combination, resulted in significantly lower counts of C. perfringens as well as Lactobacillus salivarius, which was a dominant lactic acid bacterium found in broiler intestinal contents [12].
• Male rats were used to study the inorganic (ionic) and organic fluoride concentrations in plasma, liver, kidneys and stomach content after oral doses of 0, 2.2, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0 and 7.0 mg sodium monofluoroacetate (SMFA, Compound 1080)/kg body weight [13].
• At the onset of clinical muscle weakness, 225 mg thiamylal were promptly administered as the induction agent and the patient was intubated (timing principle with priming method) and pressure on the cricoid cartilage applied to prevent regurgitation of stomach contents [14].
• Severe colitis was induced in two ponies after oral pretreatment with clindamycin and lincomycin, followed by intestinal content from two horses which had died from naturally-occurring idiopathic colitis [15].
• In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that cimetidine 200 mg given intravenously 90 minutes before surgery will reduce the hazard of chemical pneumonitis should stomach content be aspirated [16].

Biological context of Gastrointestinal Contents

• The milieu of small intestinal content favors the concerted action of several factors to make dietary triglyceride available for an effective hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase [17].
• Lower fractions of the administered dose were detected as thioether and glucuronic acid conjugates in intestinal contents than in bile, indicating that enterohepatic circulation of B(a)P metabolites was occurring [18].
• The hypocholesterolemic effect of digitonin may be secondary to decreased intestinal absorption of cholesterol associated with a disturbance in the micellar suspension of cholesterol in the intestinal content [19].
• However, the reduced Gi content may explain the earlier observed desensitization to adenosine that occurs after acclimation to cold [20].
• Their activities increase significantly at weaning, in parallel with a rise in the intestinal content of spermidine and spermine (as determined by high performance liquid chromatography) and in proportion to the polyamine increase in food intake [21].

Anatomical context of Gastrointestinal Contents

• CONCLUSION: The intestinal content influences the spontaneous secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-4 by intestinal lymphocytes [22].
• Using updated methodology, it was established that hyodeoxycholic acid and omega-muricholic acid, both apparent conversion products of beta-muricholic acid, occur in apppreciable amounts in intestinal contents and feces of conventional Wistar type Lobund rats [23].
• The intestinal content of calcium-binding protein also declined progressively from the duodenum to the ileum, but was not affected by prednisone administration [24].
• In vitro fermentation experiments with pig intestinal contents and bacteria harvested from the gastrointestinal tract of pigs were used to investigate the degradation of D-tagatose and the formation of fermentation products [25].
• The results suggest that most of the amylase activity in the gastric contents and a large part of the amylase activity in the intestinal contents are derived from the parotid glands, and that parotid amylase plays an important role in starch digestion in the gastro-intestinal tracts of diabetic rats [26].

Associations of Gastrointestinal Contents with chemical compounds

• This indicates the intestinal contents as the source of the plasma cholate and shows an equilibrium between intestinal and plasma bile acid even without bile flow [10].
• Determinations for total and individual bile acids, as well as the bile acid conjugated/unconjugated and glycine/taurine ratios were made on aliquots of upper intestinal contents of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients [27].
• Sodium taurocholate (100 mumol/hr intraduodenally) partially reversed the changes in pancreatic secretion and intestinal contents' activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin caused by bile diversion [28].
• We investigated the presence of vitamin B 12 analogues (cobamides) and the bacterial conversion of 57Co-B12 (vitamin B12 cyanocobalamin, [57Co]-CN-Cbl) into cobamides in the intestinal contents of four patients with bacterial overgrowth [29].
• When ethionine was administered alone, it was metabolized in the intestinal lumen as demonstrated by the analysis of the soluble intestinal contents; the presence of cupric acetate inhibited this process [30].

Gene context of Gastrointestinal Contents

• Analysis of stomach contents revealed that NHE4-/- mice were hypochlorhydric [31].
• Our finding that AQP9 is present specifically in goblet cells as mucus-secreting cells suggests its involvement in the synthesis and/or secretion of a certain kind of mucus which may protect the intestinal surface and smooth the flow of intestinal contents [32].
• We have found that strains containing a mutation in hilA or invG were recovered from the intestinal contents, intestinal tissues, and systemic tissues at a lower frequency than their parental wild-type strain [33].
• Stomach concentrations of somatostatin, and total stomach contents of somatostatin and gastrin, were similar in insulinoma-bearing and control rats [34].
• Total intestinal content of iNOS mRNA was also increased by H/R and this increase was partly reduced by treatment with MPG [35].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Gastrointestinal Contents

• We describe for the first time the identification of 3 alpha, 7 beta-dihydroxy-5 beta-chol-22-en-24-oic acid (delta 22-UDCA) in the plasma, bile, intestinal contents, and liver tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats after intravenous and oral administration of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) [36].
• Bile acid composition of bile and intestinal contents were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and individual bile acids were further identified by mass spectrometry [37].
• Cell-culture propagation of porcine enteric calicivirus mediated by intestinal contents is dependent on the cyclic AMP signaling pathway [38].
• Radionuclide imaging of the intestinal contents showed a doubling of intraluminal volume with vasopressin and confirmed the loss of intestinal motility [39].
• The diversity of lactic acid bacteria occurring in the crop and intestinal content of ducks of different ages (5 to 34 days) was evaluated using the RAPD-PCR technique and comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA [40].
