The correlation between the dose of menatetrenone and the incidence of post-laparotomy peritoneal adhesion in Ryan's model was investigated with the use of rats. In the menatetrenone treated group, the menatetrenone was intramuscularly given in a dosage of 10 mg immediately after closure of the abdominal wound and every 24 hours for two days. In this group, the incidence of ceco-colonic adhesion was 54% (20/37), whereas the incidence in non-treated group was 26% (10/39) (p less than 0.012). Especially in cases with an air-drying time of 1-2 minutes, the difference between incidences of ceco-colonic adhesion in the menatetrenone and that of the non-treated group was high. The former incidence was 61% (17/28) and that of the latter was 21% (6/29) (p less than 0.01). In addition, the incidence of peritoneal adhesion was proportionally dose-dependent to the menatetrenone. In our clinical retrospective study, the incidence of post-gastrectomy adhesive ileus increased with menatetrenone treatment to a significant degree. It is concluded that prophylactic administration of a large dose of menatetrenone should be avoided, because the incidence of post-laparotomy peritoneal adhesion could be increased.

Vitamins are absorbed by different mechanisms ranging from simple diffusion for most of the water soluble vitamins to more complex processes in the case of vitamin B12, folate, and the fat soluble vitamins. These processes are discussed. Malabsorptive disorders result in significant deficiency of only these latter vitamins which require specialized digestive or transport mechanisms. The underlying disease also determines which, if any, deficiency is likely to occur. The effects of different types of pancreatic, biliary, and intestinal disease on vitamin absorption are discussed.
