Labrafac™ MC60 (glycerol monocaprylocaprate) is a lipid-based excipient used in oral formulations as a solubiliser. Due to the high proportions of established permeability enhancers, caprylate (C) and caprate (C), in Labrafac™ MC60, we hypothesised that it might behave as an intestinal permeation enhancer. We therefore evaluated this using two paracellular markers (ex vivo) and insulin (in vivo) as model molecules.

However, the link between the brain and microbiome composition remains elusive. We show that Brunner's glands in the duodenal submucosa couple brain activity to intestinal bacterial homeostasis.

Background: Mediating glucose absorption in the small intestine and renal clearance, sodium glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) have emerged as an attractive therapeutic target in diabetic patients. A substantial fraction of patients, however, only achieve inadequate glycemic control. Thus, we aimed to assess the potential of the SGLT-targeting PET radiotracer alpha-methyl-4-deoxy-4-[F]fluoro-D-glucopyranoside ([F]Me4FDG) as a noninvasive intestinal and renal biomarker of SGLT-mediated glucose transport.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions with unknown etiology. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD and they have some interchangeable and some different clinical and pathological characteristics. When diagnosis is performed for the first time, the majority of CD patients have a predominant inflammatory condition.

Objective: To explore the effect of different-volume fluid resuscitation (FR) on organ functions in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and to elucidate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of on organ injuries caused by high-volume FR.
Methods: 1. Clinical study: retrospective analysis of thirty-one patients about the effect of titrated fluid resuscitation protocol (TFR) on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to SAP.
