Abstract:
... Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental contaminants with alarming ecological and human health concerns due to their unique physicochemical properties. This study elucidates the impacts of environmentally relevant concentrations (ERCs, 300 and 3000 ng/L) and sublethal concentrations (SLCs, 300 and 3000 μg/L) of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs, size 80 nm) on the intestinal immune response a ...
intestinalmucosa, etc ; autophagy; colorectal neoplasms; homeostasis; therapeutics; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The intestinal epithelium is continuously exposed to abundant stress stimuli, which relies on an evolutionarily conserved process, autophagy, to maintain its homeostasis by degrading and recycling unwanted and damaged intracellular substances. Otherwise, disruption of this balance will result in the development of a wide range of disorders, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Dysregulated autophagy ...

Abstract:
... The field of intestinal biology is thirstily searching for different culture methods that complement the limitations of organoids, particularly the lack of a differentiated intestinal compartment. While being recognized as an important milestone for basic and translational biological studies, many primary cultures of intestinal epithelium (IE) rely on empirical trials using hydrogels of various st ...

Abstract:
... The intestinal tract of a healthy human body hosts many microorganisms that are closely linked to all aspects of people’s lives. The impact of intestinal flora on host health is no longer limited to the gut but can also affect every organ in the body through various pathways. Studies have found that intestinal flora can be altered by external factors, which provides new ideas for treating some dis ...
intestinalmucosa, etc ; aluminum; apoptosis; digestive tract; intestinal microorganisms; permeability; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the Earth's crust, which exists naturally in the form of aluminum compounds. Aluminum is mainly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, which varies with different aluminum compounds. During this process, aluminum could induce the disruption of intestinal mucosa barrier. However, its underlying mechanism has not been elucidated yet. Previous stud ...
intestinalmucosa, etc ; amphibians; hormone receptors; metamorphosis; stem cells; thyroid hormones; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Several studies emphasized the function of the thyroid hormones in stem cell biology. These hormones act through the nuclear hormone receptor TRs, which are T3-modulated transcription factors. Pioneer work on T3-dependent amphibian metamorphosis showed that the crosstalk between the epithelium and the underlying mesenchyme is absolutely required for intestinal maturation and stem cell emergence. W ...

Abstract:
... Intestinal diseases in ruminants are frequent and susceptible to invasion by exogenous substances, and the intestinal mucosal barrier is the first line of defence of the body's immune defence. At present, the study on the structure of intestinal mucosal immune barrier in alpaca is incomplete. Therefore, the alpaca intestines were studied to show the distribution characteristics of intestinal mucos ...

Abstract:
... Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare and severe imaging manifestation for surgeons, and it may require emergency surgery. We report an unusual case of HPVG in association with the drip rate of enteral nutrition (EN) after laparoscopic-assisted radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. A 66-year-old woman with gastric cancer was admitted to our hospital. She was diagnosed with ...
intestinalmucosa, etc ; adaptive immunity; digestive tract; immune system; metabolism; microbial colonization; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Over the first weeks of life, the neonatal gastrointestinal tract is rapidly colonised by a diverse range of microbial species that come to form the ‘gut microbiota’. Microbial colonisation of the neonatal gut is a well-established regulator of several physiological processes that contribute to immunological protection in postnatal life, including the development of the intestinal mucosa and adapt ...

Abstract:
... Currently, little is known about inhibitory substances enabling tapeworms to settle in fish intestines thereby avoiding proteolysis. Contrary to previous studies with certain host–parasite pairs, this research compares the inhibitory capacities in three tapeworm species of the same genus Proteocephalus from four different fishes (P. torulosus from dace and zope, P. sagittus from stone loach and P. ...

Abstract:
... Cryptosporidium is a widely distributed food and water-borne enteric protozoan that affects a wide range of vertebrates, resulting in life-threatening consequences, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. The lack of effective anti-cryptosporidial drugs may be related to the parasite's unique intestinal location, plus the lack of studies on the process by which the protozoan is able to impair int ...

Abstract:
... Apart from already established technologies to increase gastrointestinal transit times, including devices rapidly increasing in size once they have reached the stomach in order to retard the passage through the pylorus, formulations that float on gastric fluids and mucoadhesive drug delivery systems adhering to the gastrointestinal mucosa, there are new technologies emerging that might be game cha ...

Abstract:
... To prepare new polycationic pullulan derivatives exhibiting highly mucoadhesive and sustained drug release properties. Hydroxy groups of pullulan were activated with mesyl chloride followed by conjugation with low-molecular weight polyamines. Pullulan-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Pul-TAEA) and pullulan-polyethyleneimine (Pul-PEI) were evaluated regarding swelling behaviour, mucoadhesive properties and ...

Abstract:
... Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology that affects the colon and rectum. It has evolved into a global burden due to the high incidence in developed countries and the highly-increased incidence in developing countries. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) from natural resources, as a type of functional carbohydrates, have a significant therapeutic effect o ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of adding tannic acid (TA) extracted from Galla chinensis to the diet of broiler chickens on intestinal development. A total of 324 healthy 1-day-old broilers were used in a 42 d study, and divided into two treatment groups at random (six replicates per group). Broilers were either received a basal diet or a basal diet supplemented with 30 ...

Abstract:
... Metabolic diseases continue to afflict most of the U.S. population. Advancements in gut microbiota research have led to the discovery of various functional roles of microorganisms that influence the development of obesity and co-morbidities including type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease. Many mechanisms behind these host-microbe interactions stem from proce ...

Abstract:
... The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Schistosoma spindale infection in domestic ruminants in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh by coprological and necropsy examination. Examination of 177 buffaloes, 283 sheep and 166 goats faecal samples (n = 626) revealed 2.25, 2.82 and 1.80% of S. spindale infection, respectively. Necropsy examination of 21 buffaloes, 185 sheep and 217 ...
... Yellow-feathered broiler chickens generally have a longer growth cycle than white broilers and therefore face different coccidiosis challenges. General single vaccine and drug regimens struggle to prevent coccidiosis for yellow broilers. In this study, a single vaccine, and a combination of coccidiostat regimens was employed to explore the preventative and control effects of different pilot regime ...

Abstract:
... Undoubtedly, significant advances were performed concerning 4-hydroxy-2-alkenals research on foods, and their formation by double oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. But further studies are still needed, especially on their occurrence in foods enriched with n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, as well as in foods for infants and processed foods. Major factors concerning the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-alke ...
... Essentially all grazing horses are infected with cyathostomin parasites. Adult cyathostomins reside in the large intestine of the horse and larval stages encyst within intestinal mucosa. Manual worm collection from aliquots of intestinal content is the current gold standard for retrieval and enumeration of luminal parasites, however, no research has been conducted to standardize specific parameter ...
