Jejunoileal atresia (JIA) is one of the common etiologies of intestinal obtrusion in neonates. However, cases of concomitant ileal atresia and Hirschsprung disease rarely occur. We report the case of a male infant who had JIA concomitantly with Hirschsprung disease that was re-anastomosed. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy to resect the dilated terminal ileum. Subsequently, owing to a significantly dilated proximal bowel, he underwent a second exploratory laparotomy. However, he continued to have feeding intolerance postoperatively. He had colonic aganglionosis and was diagnosed ...

In order to explore the effects of these diets, sixty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (C group, AIN-93, standard diet), rice diet group (R group), and flour diet group (F group). All the rats were fed for 7 weeks in total by the assigned diets for 4 weeks (stage 1, S1) and all by AIN-93 diet for 3 weeks (stage 2, S2). The body weight of all the rats...
