Non-steroid antirheumatic drugs inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin, which results in a reduction in the efficacy of the gastric mucosal barrier. The transmural electric potential difference of the stomach wall would appear to be a useful criterion for mucosal barrier function. After 4 weeks of treatment with Indomethacin, Azapropazpone, Diclofenac or Phenylbutazone, a significant reduction in the gastric potential difference as compared with the pre-treatment measurement was observed. Accordingly, non-steroid antirheumatics give rise to a reduction in the functional efficacy of the mucosal barrier.

Advances in understanding the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on gut microbiota during cardiac surgery.

Department of Cardiac surgery, The Second Hospital & Clinical Medical School, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an indispensable technique in cardiac surgery; however, its impact on gut microbiota and metabolites remains insufficiently studied. CPB may disrupt the intestinal mucosal barrier, altering the composition and function of gut microbiota, thereby triggering local immune responses and systemic inflammation, which may lead to postoperative complications. This narrative review examines relevant literature from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CNKI databases over the past decade.

Background: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a crucial role in the maturation the neonatal mucosal barrier. The accumulation of IgA antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in the lactating mammary gland facilitates the secretion of IgA antibodies into milk, which are then passively to the suckling newborn, providing transient immune protection against gastrointestinal pathogens. Physiologically, full-term infants are unable to produce IgA, required for mucosal barrier maturation for at least 10 days after birth.
