Definition:
(a.) Lacking matter; empty; void of substance.
(a.) Void of interest; barren; meager; dry; as, a jejune narrative.
Example Sentences:

(2) Eight vagotomy-gastrectomy dogs were studied; 4 had a jejunal fistula, and 4 other dogs without a fistula served as controls.
(3) A state of net secretory fluid flux was induced in isolated jejunal loops in weanling pigs by adding theophylline or cholera toxin to the lumen of the isolated loops.
(4) The mean birth weight and gestational age in jejunal atresia were significantly lower than in ileal atresia.
(5) The effect of insulin on jejunal myoelectric activity was studied in conscious dogs and sheep by injection of insulin and stimulation of insulin release.
(6) The in vitro absorption by rat jejunal and ileal gut sacs of soluble antigen-antibody complexes and of antigen alone was compared.
(7) Two normal variants that could be confused with abnormalities were noted: (a) the featureless appearance of the duodenal bulb may be mistaken for extravasation, and (b) contrastmaterial filling of the proximal jejunal loop at an end-to-end anastomosis with retained invaginated pancreas may be mistaken for intussusception.
(8) Reconstruction of the intrahepatic biliary tree was carried out in all patients using intrahepatic cholangiojejunostomies between common segmental hepatic stomata and a Roux-en-Y jejunal loop.
(9) In purified jejunal brush-border membranes both alkaline phosphatase and sucrase activities are increased at 4 or 7 weeks but especially at 13 weeks of hypertension.

(18) Thus, although the delay in small bowel transit observed during ileal infusion of lipid can be explained by reductions in the rate and the degree of propagation of jejunal contractions, the mechanism varies according to the type of meal.

(20) Jejunal biopsies were taken from two piglets before the experimental infection, from two piglets 12 h after the experimental infection and from five piglets at the end of the experiment, 46 h after infection.
