The cholinergic and noncholinergic-nonadrenergic (NCNA) excitatory and inhibitory responses of the guinea-pig ileum to transmural nerve stimulation (TNS) were studied. Unlike the contraction induced by histamine and acetylcholine the responses to TNS, ATP, substance P, bradykinin, 5-HT and GABA were not sustained. The contraction and its fading during TNS involved the activation of cholinergic, adrenergic and NCNA neurons. Substance P, 5-HT and ATP desensitization resulted in reduction of the excitatory NCNA response whereas that due to bradykinin attenuated both the excitatory and inhibitory NCNA responses. The desensitization against TNS and the potential transmitters studies was selective except in the case of ATP. The present results suggest that it is unlikely that ATP, bradykinin or GABA would be the NCNA transmitters in the guinea-pig ileum. The cross-desensitization between the excitatory NCNA transmitter on the one hand, and substance P (markedly expressed) and 5-HT (slightly expressed) on the other hand, give further evidence in favor of the possible transmitter role of substance P-like peptide in excitatory NCNA transmission and of the role of 5-HT in the activation of NCNA neurons.

Postoperative ileus (POI) is a delay in gastrointestinal transit following surgery that leads to various complications. There is limited understanding of its effective treatment options. CKD-495 and eupacidin are natural products licensed for treating mucosal lesions in acute and chronic gastritis; however, little is known about their effects on intestinal permeability.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers examined lentil seed coats for their health benefits, particularly in managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs).
- They used both traditional and microwave-assisted extraction methods to obtain extracts, finding the microwave method with ethyl acetate the most effective for anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic activity.
- The study concluded that this extract could support intestinal health, indicating its potential as a dietary supplement to help treat intestinal issues.

Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how probiotics can help improve postoperative ileus (POI) by examining factors like intestinal permeability, inflammation, and tight junction protein expression in guinea pigs.
- Guinea pigs undergoing surgery were divided into three groups: control, POI, and probiotic, with the probiotic group receiving treatment before surgery; results showed probiotics helped reduce inflammation and restore essential proteins in the intestines.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that probiotics could be a beneficial treatment option for managing POI by enhancing gut health and reducing inflammatory responses.
