Quantitative ultrastructural analyses of the parietal cells have been performed on eleven patients with chronic duodenal ulcer, before and after 8 weeks' treatment with a histamine H2-receptor antagonist (cimetidine, 1 g/day). The treatment caused a significant decrease of the secretory surface density; this result seems to differ from those of ultrastructural reports on parietal cells when acid secretion is inhibited by vagotomy. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the profile of the tubulo-vesicles of parietal cells could be seen in three phases, tentatively suggesting that this system is able to take up material from the surrounding cytoplasm by encircling it.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementia risk may be influenced by the immune function and associated with several white blood cell type counts. In cognitively normal Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white older adults we related three white blood cell types previously associated with AD risk to tau positron emission tomography (PET) values in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), where tau accumulates early. We assessed whether amyloid positivity moderated this relationship.

Background: The cerebrovasculature is an essential component of brain homeostasis. Cerebrovascular disorders are associated with an increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanisms by which cerebrovascular dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration are poorly understood.

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are widely used to manage gastric acid-related disorders by inhibiting hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion from parietal cells in the stomach. Although PPIs are known to have anti-inflammatory properties beyond their role in inhibiting gastric acid secretion, research on P-CABs is lacking. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether all available P-CABs exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in gastroesophageal reflux-induced esophagitis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
Methods: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method.

Treatment of complex craniofacial deformities is still a challenge for medicine and dentistry because few approach therapies are available on the market that allow rehabilitation using 3D-printed medical devices. Thus, this study aims to create a scaffold with a morphology that simulates bone tissue, able to create a favorable environment for the development and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, its association with Plenum Guide, through cell-based tissue engineering (ASCs) for guided bone regeneration in critical rat calvarial defects.
