To date three potential candidates for parietal cell basolateral Cl(-) entry have been described: the highly 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE2, the HCO(3)(-) and lowly DIDS-sensitive SLC26A7 protein, and the Na(+)-2Cl(-)K(+) cotransporter (NKCC1). In this study we investigate the contribution of these pathways to secretagogue stimulated acid secretion. Individually hand-dissected rat gastric glands were microfluorimetrically monitored for Cl(-) influx and pH(i) changes. Transporter activity was determined by varying ion content and through the use of pharmacological inhibitors. Expression of SLC26A7 in rat parietal cells was shown by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. SLC26A7 was inhibited by 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropyl-amino)benzoic acid (NPPB) (100 microM) in the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system. Cl(-) influx in parietal cells was enhanced by histamine, depended partially on endogenous HCO(3)(-) synthesis and completely on extracellular Na(+). Removal and subsequent readdition of Cl(-) revealed a low and a high DIDS-sensitive HCO(3)(-) extrusion system contributing to Cl(-) uptake. At acidic pH(i), however, H(+) extrusion via the H(+),K(+)-ATPase depending on Cl(-) uptake was abolished only in the presence of 100 microM (NPPB) and at high (250 microM) DIDS concentration. There was no effect of the NKCC inhibitor bumetanide on stimulated H(+) extrusion. These results would be compatible with SLC26A7 as a Cl(-) uptake system under histamine stimulation.

Parietal Epithelial Cells (PECs) activation and proliferation are common to several distinct forms of glomerulopathies. Due to several stimuli, PECs can change to a progenitor (CD24 and CD133/2) or a pro-sclerotic (CD44) phenotype. In addition, PECs, which are constantly exposed to filtered albumin, are known to be involved in albumin internalization, but how this mechanism occurs is unknown.

This study describes the congenital goiter in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos) fetus aborted in November 2021 with the clinical and pathological findings in the dam that was found dead on the farm three weeks after a miscarriage. The dam was a black coat alpaca bred in the Netherlands, imported in Italy in January 2021, and housed in a farm of central Italy for breeding purposes. Signalment and clinical data on dam and fetus were collected from the farmer and referring veterinarian.

To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET::CREB fusion transcript. The clinical and imaging data of 6 cases of intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET::CREB fusion from December 2018 to December 2023 were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Their histological features, immunophenotype and molecular characteristics were analyzed.

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are widely used to manage gastric acid-related disorders by inhibiting hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion from parietal cells in the stomach. Although PPIs are known to have anti-inflammatory properties beyond their role in inhibiting gastric acid secretion, research on P-CABs is lacking. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether all available P-CABs exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in gastroesophageal reflux-induced esophagitis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
Methods: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method.
