This study was performed to determine whether the infusion of nucleosides and a nucleotide mixture directly ito intestinal lumen can induce a regenerative effect on impaired intestinal mucosa. The effects of massive small bowel resention and also total parenteral nutrition were induced by surgical creation of Thirty-Vella fistual in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats received saline solution (Control group) or nucleosides and a nucleotide mixture(lower concentration group(Nucl) or higher concentration group (Nuc2) every two days into the fistula. Mucosal protein, DNA , ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) activity, and morphometry were evaluated at 9 or 21 days postoperation in the fistual and also in the residual ileal segment. On the 9th day, mucosal protein, DNA content, and villous surface area in the fistula and also in the residual ileum increased in rats that received nucleosides and a nucleotide mixture of lower concentration (Nuc 1). On the 21 th day, there were no significant differences in intestinal mucosa between the control group and the lower level nucleoside nucleotide mixture-treated group. The fistula villous height of the higher nucleosides and a nucleotide mixture group was higher than in the control rats. Fistula mucosal ODC activities were not significantly different between groups although the mucosal ODC activity of the residual ileal segment was increased on the 9th day. Our data suggests that this animal model is suitable for studying the effect of dietary factors on intestinal mucosal growth and regeneration after villous stropy , differentiating direct effects of diet on the intestine from systemic effects. It is also suggested that external nucleosides and nucleotides have supportive effects on intestinal mucosal regeneration.

Objective: Two experiments were conducted to provide a new approach for evaluating feed nutritional value by metabolizable glucose (MG) in piglet diets with different levels of starch and crude fiber. In Exp 1, a regression equation for MG was generated. In Exp 2, the equation was verified, and the optimal growth performance of piglets under appropriate MG levels was tested. Methods: In Exp 1, 20 weaned piglets (7.74±0.81 kg body weight [BW]) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments, including the basal diet containing different levels of MG (starch, 25.80%, 31.67%, 45.71%, 49.36%; crude fiber, 1.23%, 1.35%, 1.80%, 1.51%). The piglets were implanted with an ileal fistula, cannulation of the carotid artery, portal vein, and mesenteric artery. The chyme from the ileum fistula and blood samples were collected. In Exp 2, 30 weaned piglets (8.96±0.50 kg BW) were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatments, including the experimental diets with different levels of MG (37.6, 132.5, 300.0, 354.3, and 412.5 g/kg). The piglets' BW, and feed consumption were recorded to calculate growth performance during the 28-d experiment. Results: In Exp 1, the MG levels in 4 diets were 239.62, 280.68, 400.79, and 454.35 g/kg. The regression equation for the MG levels and dietary nutrients was: Y (MG) = 12.13×X₁ (starch)+23.18×X₂ (crude fiber)-196.44 (R² = 0.9989, p = 0.033). In Exp 2, treatments with 132.5 and 300.0 g/kg MG significantly (p<0.05) increased average daily gain and feed conversion efficiency of weaned piglets, increased digestibility of crude fat, and had no effect on digestibility of crude protein compared to 300.0 to 412.5 g/kg MG. Conclusion: The pig model combining the ileum fistula and cannulation of blood vessels was successfully used to determine the dietary MG levels. The recommended MG level in weaned pig diets is 132.5 to 300.0 g/kg.

1983년 5월부터 1987년 6월까지 영남대학교 영남의료원에서 선천성 장관폐쇄증으로 내원한 25예를 대상으로 각각의 임상소견 및 방사선학적 소견을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 비후성유문협착증 6예, 중장이상회전증 4예, 선천성 거대결장 8예, 쇄항 5예, 십이지장폐쇄증 및 회장폐쇄증이 각각 1예였다. 2. 남여비는 16:9였으며, 특히 비후성유문부협착증은 6예중 5예가 남아였다. 3. 비후성유문부협착증은 전예에서 상부위장관조영에서 특징적인 String sign 및 beak sign, shoulder sign 등을 나타냈다. 4. 1예의 십이지장폐쇄증은 double bubble sign을 보였고, 회장폐쇄증은 단순복부 사진상 폐쇄성소장공기팽창과 대장조영술에서는 microcolon을 나타내었다. 5. 4예의 중장이상회전증에서는 대장조영술상 맹장이 우측 상복부에 있었으며 2예는 Ladd's band에 의한 십이지장폐쇄를 보였다. 6. 선천성거대결장은 8예가 전부가 직장 및 하부 S자결장에 국한되어 나타났으며, 1예에서는 장염을 동반하였다. 7. 쇄항은 5예중 3예가 low type, 2예가 high type였고, 4예에서 회음부 및 비뇨생식기에 루관을 형성하였다. 위와 같은 결과와 함께 각각의 발생학적 기전과 방사선학적 소견의 문헌 고찰을 통하여 보다 신속하고 정확한 진단을 내리는데 도움을 주고자 하였다.
