The blocking effects of a newly synthetized compound N-decyltropine bromide (IEM-1556), on pentagastrin-, carbachol- and histamine-induced gastric secretion in chronic dogs, on stress-induced changes in gastric mucosa in rats, on vagus-induced effect in heart and on arterial blood pressure in rats were studied. The effects were compared with those produced by hexamethonium, a conventional ganglionic blocking agent. IEM-1556 inhibited gastric secretion and acid output for a much longer time than hexamethonium did. It also effectively protected gastric mucosa against stress-induced erosions and hemorrhages. IEM-1556 much more effectively blocked the vagus-induced reduction of the heart rate than hexamethonium did, and, in contrast to latter, did not reduce the arterial blood pressure. The results suggest that IEM-1556 is a highly selective blocking agent for parasympathetic and enteric ganglia versus sympathetic ganglia.

Acetylcholine (ACh), a vital neurotransmitter for both the peripheral (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS), signals through nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) and muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChR). Here, we explore the expression patterns of three nAChR subunits, chrna3, chrnb4, and chrna5, which are located in an evolutionary conserved cluster. This close genomic positioning, in a range of vertebrates, may indicate co-functionality and/or co-expression.

Inhalation of prions into the nasal cavity is an efficient route of infection. Following inhalation of infectious prions, animals develop disease with a similar incubation period compared with per os exposure, but with greater efficiency. To identify the reason for this increased efficiency, we identified neural structures that uniquely innervate the nasal cavity and neural structures known to mediate neuroinvasion following oral infection and used immunohistochemistry to determine the temporal and spatial accumulation of prions from hamster tissue sections containing cell bodies and axons at 2-week intervals following prion exposure.

Introduction: Interferential current (IFC) has been studied in several clinical trials for the treatment of bowel motility disorders, most often in children. However, only moderate effects are reported, and in contrast to IFC, the so-called placebo application is indiscernible. The mechanisms and neuroanatomic points of action remain elusive.

Background: The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a complex network of interconnected ganglia within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Among its diverse functions, the ENS detects bowel luminal contents and coordinates the passing of stool. ENS defects predispose to GI motility disorders.

Enteric neural stem cell (ENSC) therapy offers great promise for neurointestinal diseases; however, current isolation methods yield insufficient neurons for regenerative applications. Multiomic profiling of enteric glial cells (EGCs) suggests that subpopulations within myenteric ganglia (MyGa) are a reservoir of highly neurogenic ENSCs. Here, we describe protocols to enrich for intraganglionic EGCs by isolating intact fragments of MyGa, generating cultures with higher neuronal purity than traditional methodologies isolating intramuscular single cells (IM-SCs).
