Narrow band imaging (NBI) magnification endoscopy for the diagnosis of early-stage oral cavity-related cancer and precancerous lesions can recognize oral lesions as brownish areas, and can observe intraepithelial papillary capillary loops (IPCLs) in the mucosa and submucosa to make a qualitative diagnosis of the lesion and highlight the mucosal surface microstructure to facilitate appropriate diagnosis and early treatment. IPCLs are classified from Type 0 to IV: Type 0 is normal mucosa or no blood vessels observed, e.g.

Aims: This study explores the link between body mass index (BMI), intestinal permeability, and associated changes in anthropometric and impedance parameters, lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, fecal metabolites, and gut microbiota taxa composition in participants having excessive body mass.
Methods: A cohort of 58 obese individuals with comparable diet, age, and height was divided into three groups based on a priori clustering analyses that fit with BMI class ranges: Group I (25-29.9), Group II (30-39.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of porcine pancreatic enzymes (Creon pancrelipase) in comparison to microbial-derived alpha amylase (MD amylase) on the small intestine wall structure, mucosal glycogen accumulation, and enterocyte turnover. The impact of enzyme supplementation on the small intestine was explored in 18 pigs with surgically induced exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Four healthy pigs served as the control group.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious medical condition that places patients at high risk of developing gastric ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding. One preventative strategy involves the use of omeprazole; however, its chronic use is associated with adverse effects, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. This study evaluated the protective effects of methyl eugenol (ME) on gastric mucosal damage in a rat model of SCI.
