Chronic gastrointestinal disease is associated with the alteration of gastrointestinal microbiota. Inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs) are commonly observed in miniature dachshunds (MDs) in Japan… (More)
Inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs) frequently occur in miniature dachshunds (MDs) in Japan, typically form multiple polyps with severe neutrophil infiltration. ICRPs are speculated as a novel,… (More)
This study explored the hypothesis that inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs) in miniature Dachshunds are more likely to occur ventrally in the colorectum. Angle-fixed colonoscopic images were… (More)
Serum microRNAs (miRNAs) are mediators of cell-to-cell communication and alter the cellular microenvironment; they are stable for hours under certain conditions in body fluids despite the presence of… (More)

OBJECTIVE
The familial spontaneous epileptic cat (FSEC) is thought to be a good genetic model of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. In the current study, cerebral diffusion and perfusion magnetic… (More)
Although decreased intestinal IgA expression has been reported in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the mechanism underlying this decrease is unknown. Transmembrane activator and… (More)
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a 160-kD serine/threonine kinase known as a key molecule in interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced apoptosis and tumor suppression. Hypermethylation of the CpG island… (More)
