Intestinal barrier damage causes an imbalance in the intestinal flora and microbial environment, promoting a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) repair intestinal barrier damage. The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and rats were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish in vitro and in vivo models, respectively, of intestinal barrier damage.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21 is a peptide hormone that improves mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, and the deficiency of its co‑receptor β‑klotho (KLB) causes decreased FGF21 sensitivity. The present study examined whether the cardiac delivery of plasmids containing the gene via ultrasound‑targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) enhances the efficacy of FGF21 against heart failure post‑acute myocardial infarction (AMI). For this purpose, the levels of FGF21 in patients and rats with heart dysfunction post‑infarction were determined using ELISA.
