Phoronida is a small group of marine animals, most of which are characterized by a long larval period and complex metamorphosis. As a result of metamorphosis, their body changes so much that their true anterior and posterior ends are very close to each other, and the intestine becomes long and U-shaped. Using histology and electron microscopy, we have shown that the elongation and change in shape of the digestive tract that occurs during metamorphosis in Phoronopsis harmeri larvae is accompanied by the formation of new parts and changes in ultrastructure.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition influenced by diet, which affects gut microbiota and immune functions. The rising prevalence of IBD, linked to Western diets in developing countries, highlights the need for dietary interventions. This study aimed to assess the impact of white kidney beans (WKB) on gut inflammation and microbiota changes, focusing on their effects on enteric glial cells (EGCs) and immune activity in colitis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the myocardial protective effect of Xuebijing (XBJ) injection in isolated donor heart preservation based on autophagy and NLRP3 inflammatory pathway, and to provide clues for improving the quality of donor heart preservation in the clinic.
Methods: Fourteen Guangxi Bama miniature pigs were randomly divided into two groups to establish the isolated heart perfusion model of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): (1) normal saline group (NS group): 50 mL normal saline was added to the perfusion solution; and (2) Xuebijing injection group (XBJ group): 10 mL of XBJ was added to the perfusate. Both groups were continuously pumped with 5 mL/h for 8 hours.

There is an emerging wide use of nanotechnology in the medical fields. The information regarding distribution and clearance of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the ocular tissue is insufficient. We investigated the cumulative effect of AuNPs on rat lens structure and their effect on the redox state and aquaporin-0 (AQP0) expression.

The study investigates how Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3) and the Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS) affects depression-like behaviors. The S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway is known to play a role in mood regulation, but it is not yet fully understood how it is connected to depression. This study looks to further explore this topic.
