To determine whether starvation increases the susceptibility of the gastric mucosa to stress ulceration and whether this effect is linked to a change in the mucosal level of prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2), 100 Holtzman rats were divided into five groups and deprived of food for 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. Then, ten animals within each group were stressed by cold restraint. At the end of the stress period, all these animals as well as their unstressed counterparts were killed, the number of gastric ulcers were counted, and mucosal levels of PGE2 were assayed. Fasting alone caused no ulcerations but a decrease in mucosal PGE2 during the initial 24 h (p less than .05). However, there was a subsequent increase in mucosal PGE2, possibly related to the release of free fatty acids during starvation. Starvation and stress caused a marked and consistent reduction of the mucosal PGE2 and an increase in the number of mucosal ulcerations directly related to the duration of starvation (p less than .05).

The ethanol-induced BALB/c mice and human gastric epithelial cell (Ges-1 cell) models were used to investigate the Sargassum siliquastrum fucoidan (SFuc) gastroprotective capability. The injury score and histopathological sections of the stomach were used to evaluate the gastroprotective capability. The western blotting and RT-PCR methods determined the signaling mechanism of mice's gastric injury.

The urothelium and lamina propria (LP) contribute to sensations of bladder fullness by releasing multiple mediators, including prostaglandins (PGs) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), that activate or modulate functions of cells throughout the bladder wall. Mediators that are simultaneously released in response to bladder distention likely influence each other's mechanisms of release and action. This study investigated whether PGs could alter the extracellular hydrolysis of ATP by soluble nucleotidases (s-NTDs) released in the LP of nondistended or distended bladders.

The lack of knowledge about the mechanism of hyperoxia-induced intestinal injury has attracted considerable attention, due to the potential for this condition to cause neonatal complications. This study aimed to explore the relationship between hyperoxia-induced oxidative damage and ferroptosis in intestinal tissue and investigate the mechanism by which hyperoxia regulates inflammation through ferroptosis. The study systematically evaluated the effects of hyperoxia on oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, ferroptosis, and inflammation of intestinal epithelial cells both in vitro and in vivo.
