Increased intestinal permeability is one of the etiological factors of IBD and, thus, can be used as a biomarker to assess the severity of small and large intestinal damage. D-Mannitol, an inert small carbohydrate molecule that can be absorbed along the entire cryptvillus axis, was used to assess in vivo intestinal permeability[1].

1.1 Animal Model
Yorkshire piglets at age of 4-5 days
1.2 Material
DSS(Yeasen#60316ES,MW36000-50000)
1.3 Protocol
- Yorkshire piglets were housed individually in metal floor pens with rubberized floors in a controlled 12 h light/dark cycle room. Room temperature was maintained at 26℃and supplemented with heating lamp;
- Piglets were fed a commercial milk replacer formula diet three times a day, similar to their ad libitum intake level;
- Animals were surgically fitted with an intragastric catheter, The catheter was anchored to a silicone patch (about 8×12 mm), which was further sutured ontothe gastric wall with approximately 30 mm inserted inside the gastric lumen. Each animal was fitted in a custom-made vest with a dorsal pocket for temporary storage of the exterior segment of the catheter;
- Animals were divided into positive control group (Pos), negative control group (Neg) and experimental group (Trp);
- Positive control group (Pos): perfusion DSS(5 days)+saline(5 days); Negative control group (Neg): perfused with normal saline(10 days); Experimental group (Trp): infuse DSS(5 days)+therapeutic drugs(5 days);
- DSS dose: 1.25g/kg, oral intake for 5 days;
- At the end point, animals were sedated through an inhaledanesthetic, isoflurane, and euthanized via an intracardiac injection of Euthanol (pentobarbital) at 0.3 ml/kg·body weight (BW).
- Colon tissues were immediately rinsed in cold saline solution (154 mM, pH7.4) containing 0.1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and sampled for histology or flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent analysis.
2 Results
2.1 Intestinal permeability analysis
Fig. 2 DSS-induced D-mannitol concentration in piglets was higher than that in the control group
DSS induced D-mannitol concentration in piglets increased and intestinal barrier was destroyed.
2.2 H&E pathological staining section
Fig. 3 H&E pathological staining section（A: Neg group; B: Pos group）
The severity of colonic inflammation was assessed by inflammation scoringand histological measurements.In Pos group treated with DSS, the recess structure was distorted, inflammatory cells infiltrated into mucosa and submucosa, recess abscess and recess inflammation.
2.3 Detection of inflammatory factors
Fig. 4 Detection of inflammatory factors
The concentration of two cytokines in Pos group treated with DSS increased[1].
