Intestinal injury that results from chemotherapy belongs to the major factors of dose-limitation in tumour therapy. The tyrphostins AG1714 and AG1801 reduce cisplatin and 5-FU-induced small intestinal mucosal damage, using a quantitative biochemical assay. The assay is based on the determination of the enzymatic activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, a marker of the brush border epithelium of the small intestine.

A Smart Semi-Implantable Device Integrating Microchannel-Enhanced Sampling and Multiplex Biochemical Testing for Deep Wound Monitoring and Pathogen Identification.

Monitoring deep wounds is challenging but necessary for high-quality medical treatment. Current methodologies for deep wound monitoring are typically limited to indirect clinical symptoms or costly non-real-time imaging diagnosis. Herein, a smart system is proposed that enables in situ monitoring of deep wounds' status through a semi-implantable device composed of 2 seamlessly connected functional components: 1) the well-designed, microchannel-structured sampling needles that efficiently and conveniently collect samples from deep wound anatomical locations, and 2) the multiplex biochemical testing compartment that facilitates the immediate and persistent detection of multiple biochemical indicators based on a color image processing software accessible to a conventional smartphone.

Intestinal microbiota are pathophysiologically involved in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Dapagliflozin, recognized for its blood glucose-lowering effect, has demonstrated efficacy in improving DN. However, the mechanisms beyond glycemic control that mediate the impact of dapagliflozin on DN remain unclear.

In this study, the alleviative effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis of amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were evaluated. Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, amur ide were irregularity divided into 4 groups and fed two diets with 0.00 % (CK and LPS), 0.

BACKGROUND Iliac vein injuries usually require surgical intervention due to their high mortality rates. Although conservative management may be applicable in some cases of blunt trauma, the suitability of this approach for treating penetrating injuries remains underexplored. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old man sustained a common iliac vein injury following rectal impalement in a collapsing chair.

Hemorrhagic shock is a significant cause of trauma-related mortality. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a less-invasive aortic occlusion maneuver for severe hemorrhagic shock but potentially inducing oxidative stress injuries. In an animal model, this study investigated hydrogen gas inhalation therapy's potential to mitigate post-REBOA ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRIs).
