Large intestine malignancy is the second most common malignancy and second leading cause of cancer mortality in Poland. This is related to late detection of these lesions, e.g. due to lack of effective screening tests. Lesions found by a surgeon are clinically advanced, making the treatment often ineffective and sometimes even completely impossible. Discovery of a substance that would be able to stop key processes for the development of malignancy could change such situation. Activity of certain enzymes was found to increase in malignant cells and invasion of malignancy could be triggered by inadequate amount of endogenous inhibitors of these enzymes in the surrounding healthy tissues. Inhibitors identical with that produced in human cells were found in egg whites.The aim of the study was to determine ability of cystatin isolated from egg whites to inhibit activity of cathepsin B and L.Material and methods. Immunohistochemistry and histology of tissue specimen collected from malignant lesions resected from 60 patients diagnosed with large intestine adenocarcinoma, who underwent surgical treatment in 2nd Department of General and Oncological Surgery, Medical University of Wrocław between 2007 and 2009.Results. Differences were fund between health tissues, margins and center of the malignant lesions with regard to amount and distribution of stained cathepsin B - cystatin complexes. The above mentioned inhibitors were able to inhibit 90% of primary activity of cathepsin B and L in malignant tissues.Conclusions. Cystatins obtained from egg whites could be used as substances supporting anti-cancer therapy in the future.

Ultrasonography is the first step in the diagnosis of acute and chronic diseases of the abdominal cavity by imaging methods. In an increasing number of cases ultrasound examination is used to diagnose lesions located in the intestines, which beside the mesenteries and the omentum are an important part of the abdomen. The aim of this overview paper is to present the current possibilities of ultrasonography in the assessment of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. Currently it is possible to present the anatomy of the intestinal wall, vascular network and the surrounding tissue with a great precision, even through transabdominal access. It is facilitated by digital sonograms, especially using harmonic imaging, spatial and XRES imaging as well as variable transducer pressure. Even better results can be obtained using endoscopic ultrasound, which can be equipped with a Doppler blood flow imaging facility and elastography. In addition, endoscopic ultrasound can be used to guide the collection of material for cytology or pathomorphology examination and the performance of various medical procedures. Over the recent years the diagnostic value of ultrasound increased following the introduction of intestinal hydrosonography and ultrasound contrast media, which also work very well in fistulography. Therefore, it is not surprising that ultrasonography used by an experienced practitioner makes it possible to diagnose the vast majority of intestinal pathologies and their complications as well as the results of the treatment applied. This is especially applicable to infectious, inflammatory, ischaemic and various neoplastic diseases. In the case of neoplastic lesions the stage of local advancement of the process can be determined, especially using endosonography. In a transabdominal examination this method achieves high efficacy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and in diverticulitis of the large intestine, which is decisive for the selection of the method of treatment. Its value was also demonstrated in bowel obstruction and in less frequently occurring lesions such as epiploic appendagitis or greater omental infarction. Ultrasonography has little importance in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract bleeding in patients with a substantial amount of gas in the digestive tract, obese patients and uncooperative ones.

Ultrasonografia stanowi pierwszy krok w diagnostyce obrazowej ostrych i przewlekłych chorób jamy brzusznej. Coraz częściej dotyczy to zmian położonych w jelitach, które wspólnie z krezkami i siecią są istotną składową brzucha. Celem tego opracowania przeglądowego jest zaprezentowanie aktualnych możliwości ultrasonografii w ocenie patologii przewodu pokarmowego. Obecnie można z dużą dokładnością przedstawić budowę ściany jelit, ich unaczynienie oraz otaczającą tkankę nawet z dostępu przezbrzusznego. Ułatwiają to ucyfrowione sonogramy, szczególnie z użyciem obrazowania harmonicznego, złożonego przestrzennie i techniką XRES oraz dozowanego ucisku głowicą. Jeszcze lepsze wyniki uzyskuje się dzięki ultrasonografii endoskopowej, która może być wyposażona w dopplerowskie wersje odwzorowania przepływu krwi oraz w elastografię. Ponadto pod jej kontrolą można pobrać materiał do badania cytologicznego lub patomorfologicznego oraz wykonać różne procedury zabiegowe. W ostatnich latach wartość diagnostyczna ultrasonografii wzrosła po wprowadzeniu hydrosonografii jelit oraz ultrasonograficznych środków kontrastujących, które doskonale przydają się też przy fistulografii. Nie może więc dziwić fakt, że ultrasonografia w doświadczonych rękach pozwala rozpoznać zdecydowaną większość patologii jelit, ich powikłań oraz skutków zastosowanej terapii. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim: chorób infekcyjnych, zapalnych, niedokrwiennych oraz różnego rodzaju nowotworów jelit. W przypadku zmian nowotworowych można z dużą dokładnością określić stopień miejscowego zaawansowania procesu, zwłaszcza dzięki endosonografii. W badaniu przezbrzusznym metoda ta uzyskuje wysokie wskaźniki diagnostyczne w ostrym zapaleniu wyrostka robaczkowego oraz w zapaleniu uchyłków jelita grubego, co decyduje o wyborze metody leczniczej. Ponadto wykazano jej wartość w niedrożności jelit i w rzadziej występujących zmianach, takich jak zapalenie przyczepków sieciowych oraz zawał sieci większej. Ultrasonografia ma niewielkie znaczenie w diagnostyce krwawienia z przewodu pokarmowego u pacjentów zagazowanych, otyłych i niewspółpracujących.

The ontogeny of intestinal CRT, AGAT and GAMT was investigated in foetuses, newborn, suckling, weaning and adult rats. In the colon, CRT mediates creatine transport because it was Na+- and Cl- dependent and inhibited by creatine and GPA. In addition, Northern assays showed two CRT transcripts (2.7-kb and 4.2-kb) and the in situ hybridisation revealed that CRT mRNA is restricted to the colon epithelial cells. The immunohistochemistry revealed that CRT protein was at the apical membrane of colon epithelia. Maturation decreased colonic CRT activity to undetectable levels and increased CRT mRNA abundance. Western assays revealed 57-, 65-, 80- and 116-kDa polypeptides at the intestinal apical membrane. The abundance of the 65-, 80- and 116-kDa polypeptides decreased with age, and that of 57-kDa was only observed in adult rats. The small and large intestine express AGAT and GAMT mRNAs. Maturation decreased AGAT mRNA abundance without affecting that of GAMT. For comparison, renal AGAT mRNA levels were measured and they were increased with age. The study reports for the first time that: i) the apical membrane of rat colon have an active CRT, ii) development down-regulates CRT activity via post-transcriptional mechanism(s), iii) the intestine might synthesize creatine and iv) intestinal and renal creatine synthesis is ontogenically regulated at the level of AGAT gene expression.

The human microbiome, especially the gut microflora, has been a research topic for many years and its influence on human health has caught a particular interest. Thus, any abnormalities are linked to the prevalence of many diseases and conditions. Due to the rapid technological development, microbiome research is often undertaken using an artificial model of the digestive tract or gastrointestinal tract, these technological developments are of significant support to the basic research performed on the microbiome. The structure of the human gut is very complicated as well as its function, thus, it is extremely difficult to build such machinery that would function correctly. This review is based on available literature about the SHIME® artificial human gut model (patented technology by the University of Ghent and the ProDigest company that act as the owner). Thanks to the project “Food and Nutrition Center – modernization of the SGGW campus in order to create the Food and Nutrition Research and Development Center (CŻiŻ)” cofinanced by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Operational Program of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship for 2014-2020 [RPMA project no. 01.01.00-14-8276 / 17] The Institute of Human Nutrition Sciences has acquired the SHIME® technology artificial digestive tract.

Mikrobiom człowieka, w tym szczególnie mikrobiota jelitowa od wielu lat jest przedmiotem badań w aspekcie jej wpływu na zdrowie. Z kolei, zaburzenia składu mikrobioty powiązane są z ryzykiem występowania wielu chorób. Do badań nad mikrobiomem coraz częściej wykorzystuje się modele sztucznego przewodu pokarmowego, które stanowią istotne wsparcie badań podstawowych w naukach żywieniowych. Ze względu na skomplikowaną budowę i funkcjonowanie przewodu pokarmowego człowieka bardzo trudno jest skontruować taki model, który by w pełni odpowiadał wszystkim uwarunkowaniom naturalnego przewodu pokarmowego. Niniejsze opracowanie powstało na bazie dostępnych artykułów naukowych dotyczących w szczególności działania i zastosowania sztucznego modelu przewodu pokarmowego SHIME®, (opatentowanej technologii, której twórcą i właścicielem jest konsorcjum Uniwersytetu w Gandawie i firma ProDigest). Dzięki projektowi pt. „Centrum żywności i żywienia - modernizacja kampusu SGGW w celu stworzenia Centrum Badawczo- Rozwojowego Żywności i Żywienia (CŻiŻ)” współfinansowanego przez Unię Europejską ze środków Europejskiego Funduszu Rozwoju Regionalnego w ramach Regionalnego Programu Operacyjnego Województwa Mazowieckiego na lata 2014-2020 [Nr projektu RPMA.01.01.00-14-8276/17] Instytut Nauk o Żywieniu Człowieka wzbogacił się o sztuczny przewód pokarmowy w technologii SHIME.

Tumour growth and expansion are the result of proliferative activity and the capacity to eliminate cells by apoptosis and/or necrosis. The present study was aimed at comparing the apoptosis and proliferation intensity in cells of adenocarcinomas of the large intestine with the expression of metallothionein (MT), the grade of the tumour and the depth to which the tumour infiltrated the intestinal wall. The TUNEL technique and immunocytochemical reactions (expression of caspase-3, Ki-67, MT) were used to detect apoptosis. The results demonstrated augmented levels of all the variables examined, positively correlated with grade of malignancy, G, and with the depth of intestinal wall infiltration by the tumour cells. The testing of apoptosis, proliferation and MT expression may prove useful in the appraisal of the growth and progression of primary adenocarcinomas in the large intestine.

The large intestine of eight Micro mammalia species, of the orders Insectivora (Sorex minutus, Sorex araneus) and Rodentia {Sicista betulina, Clethrionornys glareo- lus, Microtus oeconomus, Apodemus flauicollis, Mus musculus, Cavia porcellus) were studied. Both the length and surface area of the mucosa of the alimentary canal are strongly associated with food hydration, In M. oeconomus, feeding exclusively on green parts of plants, the large intestine dominates the totai length of the alimentary canal (35% of length). In omnivorous S. betulina and A. flavicollis, the length of the large intestine is 30% of total length of the canal and only 20% in M. musculus fed with dry and granulated food. The large intestine of the rodents (but S. betulina) is divided into caecum, colon and rectum. The caecum is best developed in M. oeconomus, where the relative value of the caecum is 5.54 mm/g and the surface area is 97.07 mm2/g of the body weight and least developed in M. musculus - 1.24 mm/g and 13.34 mmJ/g. In insectivorous shrews, the large intestine is very short and non-differentiated into segments. Its proportion in the length of the alimentary canal amounts only to 6.5%. The relative value of the length of the large intestine is between 1.34 mm/g of body weight (S, araneus) and 2.01 mm/g (S. minutus).

Studies from our laboratory have revealed a novel µ opiate receptor, µ3, which is expressed in both human vascular tissues and leukocytes. The µ3 receptor is selective for opiate alkaloids, insensitive to opioid peptides and is coupled to constitutive nitric oxide (cNO) release. We now identify the µ3 receptor characteristics in mammalian gut tissues. It appears that the various regions of the mouse gut release low levels of NO (0.02 to 4.6 nM ) in a pulsatile manner. We demonstrate that morphine stimulates cNO release (peak level 17 nM) in the mouse stomach, small intestine and large intestine in a naloxone and L-NAME antagonizable manner. Opioid peptides do not exhibit cNO-stimulating capabilities in these tissues. Taken together, we surmise morphine acts as a hormone to limit gut activity via µ3 coupled to NO release since µ opiate receptors are found in the gut and endogenous morphine is not but is found in blood.

In order to examine dynamics of the growth of anaerobic flora in large intestines of newly hatched chicks three experimental groups were formed. The first group of the birds received no feed for 60 h, the second one had a free access to a standard feed, and the chicks of the third group, besides the feeding, were individually provided per os with 1 dose of a preparation containing the normal gut flora (NGF). lt was demonstrated that feeding and treatment with the NGF preparation had a positive effect on the colonization and growth of the anaerobie flora in large intestines. The highest concentration of anaerobes (10⁸ CFU/g of the intestinal content) after 12, 36 and 60 h was found in large intestines of the birds receiving feed and NGF preparation. Treatment of the newly hatched chicks with a determined and specific intestinal flora acts as a physical and physiological barrier limiting the colonizing action of undesired and pathogenic bacteria.

The present study was conducted on 31 males and females of the European bison, eliminated during the winter seasons 2007–2011 in the Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland. The caeca of 14 free-ranging bison, aged from 3 months up to 16 years, the most favorable infection site for the large intestine nematodes, were investigated during the winter of 2007/2008. The parasitological autopsies of the large intestines of 9 free-ranging bison aged from 5 months up to 10 years as well as 9 bison kept in the close reserves aged from one up to 20 years were done during the winter seasons of 2008–2011 to determine localization of nematodes in large intestine and the total intensity of parasite infection. Five species of nematodes (i.e., Trichuris ovis, Oesophagostomum venulosum, O. radiatum, Ashworthius sidemi, Nematodirus helvetianus) were found in dissected caecum of bison culled during the winter of 2007/2008. During the seasons of 2008–2010, 6 species of nematodes were found in the large intestine of bison (i.e., T. ovis, O. venulosum, O. radiatum, A. sidemi, N. roscidus and Bunostomum trigonocephalum). We did not find any nematodes in the lumen of the large intestine of captive bison culled during the seasons of 2010/2011. The results of the present study indicate that the intensity of infection by the large intestine nematodes of the European bison in the Białowieża Primeval Forest has stayed at the comparable level throughout the last 20 years; however the number of nematode species has increased. The observed level of parasitic infection is typical of subclinical parasitoses.
