Protective Effects of Monoacylglycerol Lipase Inhibition in Rats with Severe Acute Pancreatitis and Its Possible Mechanism.
Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets

Department of Gastroenterology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, 324 Jingwu Weiqi Rd, Jinan, 250021, China.
Background And Aim: In the context of gastrointestinal diseases, the role of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is significant. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the protective effects of MAGL inhibition using JZL184 in rat models of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and to explore its mechanism.
Methods: In this study, a rat model of SAP was established, and the rats were divided into three groups for treatment: the Control group (CON), the SAP group (SAP), and the SAP group treated with JZL184 (JZL184).
Design of a wasp-inspired biopsy needle capable of self-propulsion and friction-based tissue transport.

Percutaneous pancreatic core biopsy is conclusive but challenging due to large-diameter needles, while smaller-diameter needles used in aspiration methods suffer from buckling and clogging. Inspired by the ovipositor of parasitic wasps, which resists buckling through self-propulsion and prevents clogging via friction-based transport, research has led to the integration of these functionalities into multi-segment needle designs or tissue transport system designs. This study aimed to combine these wasp-inspired functionalities into a single biopsy needle by changing the interconnection of the needle segments.

Pseudohyponatremia is frequently misunderstood and often mistaken for other types of hyponatremia. In this study, we present a case of pseudohyponatremia resulting from hypertriglyceridemia. We provide an in-depth analysis of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, comparing them with those of other hyponatremic disorders, and outline the diagnostic approach used to identify this atypical form of hyponatremia.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of electroacupuncture (EA) on blood glucose levels, gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group) using a random number table: normal control, T2DM model, electroacupuncture (EA), EA + antibiotics (EA + A), and antibiotics (A). The normal rats received a standard diet and saline gavage, while the other groups were fed a high-fat diet and emulsion.

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.
