The mucosal cells of the chicken intestine contain a cholinesterase activity essentially due to butyrylcholinesterase. The enzyme is present during embryonic and post-hatching development. The activity reaches a maximum value at day 19 in ovo and decreases prior to and after hatching up to day 4 ex ovo. Then the activity again rises reaching a second maximum at 2-3 weeks. Beyond this stage, the activity slowly decreases leveling off to the value determined in adult chicken. The enzyme exists as two globular forms (G1 and G4) soluble at low-ionic strengths. The G4 form is predominant in ovo up to day 19. From this stage and after hatching the G1 form is the main one. This change in the form proportion differentiates the mucosal cell butyrylcholinesterase from butyrylcholinesterase of other origins such as the chicken plasma enzyme which always shows a predominant G4 form.

Background: Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL), a precancerous lesion of the larynx, is characterized by white plaques on the vocal fold mucous membrane. Currently, there are no reliable biomarkers to predict the recurrence and malignant transformation of VFL. Considering chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) as a biomarker for malignant tumors such as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), we conducted this cohort study to evaluate the prognostic influence of CSPG4 expression on VFL patients.

There are limited studies on the improvement of leaky gut with minor inflammation associated with various diseases. To explore the therapeutic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3, a member of the Lactobacillus species, in addressing a leaky gut. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3 was administered to a leaky gut mice model with low dextran sulfate sodium concentrations.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, genetic alterations, and biological behaviors of hamartomatous inverted hyperplastic polyp (HIHP) in the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical, sonographic, endoscopic and pathologic data of 10 HIHP cases diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China from January 2013 to March 2024 were collected. Their clinicopathological features and histological morphology were analyzed.
