Characterization of the GABA(B) receptor in the human colon was performed by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). mRNAs for both subunits of the GABA(B) receptor, GABA(B1) and GABA(B2), were detected in the human colon. The GABA(B1(e)) isoform was detected in the human colon, but not in the brain, and the other isoforms, except GABA(B1(d)), were detected in both tissues. Thus, the GABA(B) receptor may be present as a heterodimer with subunits of GABA(B1) and GABA(B2) in the human colon.

Association between lipid accumulation product and the risk of colon cancer in adults: A population-based study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou, China.
Background: The purpose of this study was to look into any potential connections between the occurrence of colon cancer and the condition of the body of lipid accumulation product (LAP) index.
Methods: Using data from the 2009-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we performed a cross-sectional analysis with 24,592 individuals. Utilizing multivariate logistic regression modelling, the relationship between LAP levels and colon cancer risk was investigated.
Approach to Therapy for Chronic Pouchitis.
Annu Rev Med

Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA.
Chronic pouchitis (CP) occurs in approximately 20% of patients with ulcerative colitis after total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and is categorized as antibiotic dependent, antibiotic refractory, or Crohn's disease-like. The management of CP is challenging because of limited evidence and few randomized controlled trials. In this review, we discuss the medical management of CP and its supporting data delineated by type of therapy.

Objective: To investigate the synergistic effects of combined sleep interventions and enhanced nutritional support on postoperative recovery in colon cancer patients, with a focus on sleep quality, nutritional status, pain management, psychological well-being, and quality of life.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 290 postoperative colon cancer patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between May 2021 and May 2023. Participants were randomized into two groups: the intervention group, which received standard care supplemented with sleep and nutritional interventions, and the control group, which received standard care alone.
