Altogether 25 patients with peptic ulcer and 26 patients with chronic pancreatitis were examined for gastric and pancreatic secretion. Histamine dihydrochloride (0.008-0.024 mg/kg) was employed to stimulate gastric secretion whereas cholecystokinin (2U/kg/h) and calcium gluconate (16 mg/kg) were used to stimulate pancreatic secretion. Lidocain (1.2 mg/kg), a blocker of Ca2+-channels, and lithium hydroxybutyrate (12 mg/kg), a blocker of phosphatidylinositol transformations, were employed for suppression of gastric and pancreatic secretion. The content of HCl, pepsinogen, fucose, cAMP and cGMP was measured in gastric juice, that of bicarbonates, amylase, lipase, trypsin, cAMP and cGMP in pancreatic juice. It has been shown that mechanisms dependent on cAMP and on extra- and intracellular Ca2+ are involved in the initiation and maintenance of gastric and pancreatic secretion. However, the contribution of those mechanisms is different as applied to the regulation of ions and enzymes, on the one hand, and to various enzymes, on the other.

Background: In the Kazakh community of Xinjiang, China, fermented camel milk has been traditionally used to manage diabetes. This study evaluates the effects of composite probiotics derived from fermented camel milk (CPCM) on metabolic disturbances in a rat model of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: T2DM was induced in Wistar rats using streptozotocin.

, the etiologic agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium. During infection, transfers its type IV secretion system (T4SS) effector proteins into host cells to manipulate cellular processes. AFAP (an actin filament-associated protein) was identified as a T4SS effector protein and found to interact with the host nucleolin, as described in a previous study.

Background: A new circulating biomarker superior to carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is needed for diagnosing pancreatobiliary cancer (PBca). The aim of this study was to identify serum microRNA (miRNA) signatures comprising reproducible and disease-related miRNAs.
Methods: This multicenter study involved patients with treatment-naïve PBca and healthy participants.

Type 2 diabetes as a world-wide epidemic is characterized by the insulin resistance concomitant to a gradual impairment of β-cell mass and function (prominently declining insulin secretion) with dysregulated fatty acids (FAs) and lipids, all involved in multiple pathological development. Recently, redox signaling was recognized to be essential for insulin secretion stimulated with glucose (GSIS), branched-chain keto-acids, and FAs. FA-stimulated insulin secretion (FASIS) is a normal physiological event upon postprandial incoming chylomicrons.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a common chronic liver disease caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption and responsible for more than half of all liver-related deaths worldwide. The molecular mechanisms associated with ALD were not fully understood. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on liver tissues obtained from ALD patients and healthy liver donors.
