An electrode incorporated into a polyethylene hose was introduced under endoscopic control into the stomach of six fasting adult horses for long-lasting pH measurements. The intragastric pH was recorded every four seconds for a period of 24 hours. The Warmblood horses were assigned randomly to receive hay ad libitum (H group); 1.5 kg hay/100 kg BW/day and 1 kg concentrate/100 kg BW/ day (C group) or protocol C plus 75 g pectin-lecithin supplement/100 kg BW/day (P group). The horses were adapted to each diet for 14 days. The 24-hour median pH value for protocol H (2.69) was significantly lower compared to protocol C (3.35) and P (3.44) (p < 0.05). The horses in protocol P had a significant higher percentage (40.1 %) of 24-hour intragastric pH values ≥ 4 than in protocol C (36.2 %) or in protocol H (25.3 %) (p < 0.05).

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) regulate gastric acid reflux. Dexlansoprazole's efficacy in prolonging acid suppression compared to conventional PPIs and placebo requires evaluation.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, five-way crossover pilot study was conducted on healthy volunteers comparing the potency of dexlansoprazole to conventional PPIs in which five patients were randomized into five treatment cohorts, including dexlansoprazole 60 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg, esomeprazole 40 mg, rabeprazole 20 mg, and placebo, assessing 24-hour intragastric pH using Z/pH Recorder (ZepHr®, Diversatek, Inc.

This study aims to investigate the protective effect of salidroside(SAL) on renal damage in diabetic nephropathy(DN) mice based on the receptor for advanced glycation end products/janus activated kinase 1/signal transduction and activator of transcription 3(RAGE/JAK1/STAT3) signaling pathway. The mouse DN model was established by high-fat/high-sucrose diets combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin(STZ). Mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, low-dose SAL group(20 mg·kg~(-1)), high-dose SAL group(100 mg·kg~(-1)), and metformin group(140 mg·kg~(-1)), with 12 mice in each group.

45 year-old male patient with history of heartburn and regurgitation of non-acid food in the immediate postprandial period, with no symptomatic improvement after anti-acid treatment. The patient underwent an upper endoscopy that was unremarkable. A high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) was performed according to Chicago Protocol 4.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the intervention mechanism of Jiawei Shengjiangsan (JWSJS) on kidney injury in diabetic nephropathy mice.
Methods: Thirty 8-week-old db/db mice were randomly divided into five groups: model group, Perindopril group, and JWSJS low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (n=6 per group) based on body weight. Additionally, a blank control group was established consisting of 6 db/m mice aged 8 weeks.

Objective To investigate the effect of intestinal mucosal Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor κB (TLR4/NF-κB) signaling pathway on renal damage in pseudo-sterile IgA nephropathy (IgAN) mice. Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into experimental group (pseudosterile mouse model group), control group (IgAN mouse model group), pseudosterile mouse blank group, and normal mouse blank group. Pseudosterile mice were established by intragastric administration of quadruple antibiotics once a day for 14 days.
