The study was made on Wistar rats. A shift in endogenous biological rhythms was simulated by that in the light phase by 12 hours and evaluated by the shift in the rhythm of rectal temperature. Experiments revealed that desynchronization potentiated ulcerative processes in the rat stomach. The study demonstrated the protective effect of intraperitoneally injected melatonin to prevent the formation of ulcerative defects in the rat stomach during artificially simulated desynchronization.

Gastrointestinal absorption and its regulation of hawthorn leaves flavonoids.

Sci Rep

January 2025

School of Pharmacy, Fudan University, 826 Zhangheng Road, Shanghai, 201203, P.R. China.

Hawthorn leave flavonoids (HLF) are widely used as an herb or dietary supplements for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, its gastrointestinal absorption behavior and mechanism have not been disclosed. In this study, gastrointestinal absorption and its regulation of 4''-O-glucosylvitexin (GLV), 2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin (RHV), vitexin (VIT), rutin (RUT) and hyperoside (HP) in HLF were investigated using in vitro, in situ and in vivo models.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).

Biological markers as an additional method of determining drowning.

Open Vet J

November 2024

Department of Clinical Sciences Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary faculty, University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background: There is no specified diagnostic procedure that can help in determining the cause of death and the diagnosis of drowning because the pathohistological signs are almost identical and non-specified.

Aim: Our study aims to recognize and prove diatom appearance in organs from a forensic aspect in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to examine which is the more specific method in the diagnosis of drowning, the diatom test or the pathohistological finding.

Methods: Rats of the recommended body weight were divided into four groups: G1 ( = 8; mechanism of death-asphyxia; cause of death-suffocation, submerged 1 hour after death); G2 ( = 8: mechanism of death-asphyxia; cause of death-suffocation, immersed 72 hours after death); G3 ( = 8: mechanism of death-asphyxia; cause of death-drowning, autopsy immediately after death), and G4 ( = 8: mechanism of death-asphyxia; cause of death-drowning, post mortem 24 hours after death).

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a severe and common complication in diabetic patients. Some evidence shows that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate contribute to diabetic gastrointestinal abnormalities. Therefore, we examined the impact of prolonged treatment with insulin and magnesium supplements on the expression pattern of GABA type A (GABA-A), GABA-B, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors as well as nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS-1) in the stomach of type 2 diabetic rats.

Multi-omics analysis reveals the pre-protective mechanism of Dendrobium flexicaule polysaccharide against alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.

Dendrobium flexicaule (DF) is an endemic plant primarily found in the mountains of central China with important medicinal and edible values. In traditional Chinese medicine, DF has the effects of nourishing stomach and "Yin", and clearing heat. At present, no studies have explored the mechanisms by which Dendrobium flexicaule polysaccharides (DFP) exert pre-protect effects against alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.
