Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions compared to control conditions on fecal incontinence (FI) and quality of life (QoL) following colorectal surgery.
Methods: Electronic searches in English-language (Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, AMED, CENTRAL, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Ovid, and PEDro) and Chinese-language (CNKI, Wanfang Data) databases were conducted. Trials comparing physiotherapy interventions against control conditions and assessing FI and QoL outcomes were included in the review.
The intestinal absorption of neotuberostemonine and neostenine, two major bioactive alkaloids of the commonly used antitussive traditional Chinese medicine Stemona tuberosa Lour, was investigated using a Caco-2 monolayer model. Both alkaloids exhibited a high absorptive permeability which was higher for neostenine [P(app(AB)) = 12.03 +/- 1.
