Objectives: Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated that a multiplatform water environment combined with lard gavage is an effective method for establishing a mouse model of diarrhea. However, the interactions between intestinal microorganisms and diarrhea, as well as the relationships among energy metabolism, fluid balance, and gastrointestinal function in this model, remain poorly understood.

Methods: Building on previous research, this study aimed to optimiz and replicate a multiplatform water environment combined with a lard gavage model.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create murine models of pancreatic cancer that mimic damp-heat syndrome to investigate differences in gut bacteria composition for potential evaluation markers.
  • - Thirty-four male mice were divided into four groups, with some exposed to high-fat diets and environmental stressors to induce symptoms akin to traditional damp-heat syndrome, leading to accelerated tumor growth and inflammation.
  • - Findings indicated that the CDHS and CC groups displayed significant health issues and increased pathogenic bacteria, suggesting the potential of intestinal flora in evaluating conditions related to pancreatic cancer and damp-heat syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • Microglial cells are key immune cells in the central nervous system that express a variety of receptors related to both immune functions and neural activities.
  • These receptors enable microglia to monitor brain health and actively regulate neural activity and plasticity.
  • Additionally, microglial cells help protect the CNS against pathogens and maintain overall function and integrity.

The buildings of the city of Douala in Cameroon have been experiencing degradation for several decades due to the climate characterized by high humidity and oppressive heat. As a result, large grayish or black stains can be observed on these buildings. We sometimes witness the subsidence of the slab of the balconies, the cracking of the walls and the collapse of the buildings worn by the humidity.
