For patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), exposure to biologically incompatible PD solutions and the consequent peritoneal structure change can lead to progressive angiogenesis and fibrosis, and ultimately result in ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Peritoneal transport studies in aquaporin 1 (AQP1) knockout mice indicate that water transport across the peritoneum is mediated by AQP1, which accounts for up to 50% of ultrafiltration. Another recent study on a large cohort of PD patients with kidney failure further substantiated the impact of AQP1 genotype variation on water channel expression in the peritoneal membrane, influencing water transport, ultrafiltration, and patient prognosis.

The patient was a 48-year-old man who had developed acute myocardial infarction 3 years earlier. He started experiencing recurrent attacks of abdominal pain 2 years earlier. One month before the presentation, he developed perforative peritonitis, which was treated with right hemicolectomy.

Up to 5% of patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease have negative serology. Although seronegative celiac, is the most common cause for villous atrophy, there are other differential diagnoses that should be ruled out when we find villous blunting without positive serology for celiac disease. The aetiologies are usually divided into 5 categories: immune-mediated, infectious, iatrogenic, inflammatory and infiltrative.

Introduction: Anaphylaxis is a globally increasing allergic reaction that is often fatal. Recently, our previous study reported the possibility of using the modified natural products "sodium R-lipoate (NaRLA) and enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ)" as potential novel safe agents against the non-immunological-degranulation of mast cells.
Methods: Here, we extended our previous findings by determining the antianaphylactic activity of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight of NaRLA and EMIQ (given orally and prior to local or systemic challenge) in mice models of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced IgE-dependent active cutaneous anaphylaxis (ACA) and active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) in comparison with sulfasalazine (SSZ, amast cell stabilizer).

We present a case of a 60-year-old male with known seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and cerebral vasculitis who presented to the emergency room with abrupt onset lower back and abdominal pain. The patient developed peritonitis which led to an abdominal laparotomy where jejunal ischemia, necrosis, and perforation were found, requiring bowel resection. On pathology examination, the patient had mesenteric vessel intramural inflammation indicative of vasculitis.
