Article Synopsis
- Water-soluble arabinoxylan and water-soluble fibre from wheat bran (WB) have shown anti-colitic effects in mice, with a focus on understanding the impact of both soluble and insoluble fractions of WB on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- In an experiment, mice were fed different treatments including a control, a DSS (inducing IBD) group, and groups receiving water-insoluble (WBI) and water-soluble (WBS) fractions of WB, revealing that WBI significantly reduced inflammation and gut tissue damage compared to the DSS group.
- The study indicates that WBI helps maintain a healthier gut microbiota while showing promise for further research into its mechanisms and active components, especially concerning the gut bacteria
Continuous maintenance of an appropriate position of the mandible and head purely by manual manipulation is difficult, although the maneuver can restore airway patency during sleep and anesthesia. The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of head elevation with jaw closure using a remote-controlled airbag device, such as the airbag system, on passive upper airway collapsibility during propofol anesthesia. Seven male subjects were studied.
