GSE229320 The enteric nervous system relays psychological stress to intestinal inflammation [ColonBulkseq]
Contributor : Christoph A ThaissSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusMental health profoundly impacts inflammatory responses in the body. This is particularly apparent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where psychological stress is associated with disease flares. Here, we discover a critical role for the enteric nervous system (ENS) in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal inflammation. We find that chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids drive the generation of an inflammatory subset of enteric glia that promotes monocyte- and TNF-media...

The influence of Nav1.9 channels on intestinal hyperpathia and dysmotility
Channels (Austin). 2023 Dec;17(1):2212350. doi: 10.1080/19336950.2023.2212350.ABSTRACTThe Nav1.9 channel is a voltage-gated sodium channel. It plays a vital role in the generation of pain and the formation of neuronal hyperexcitability after inflammation. It is highly expressed in small diameter neurons of dorsal root ganglions and Dogiel II neurons in enteric nervous system. The small diameter neurons in dorsal root ganglions are the primary sensory neurons of pain conduction. Nav1.9 channels also participate in regulating intestinal motility. Functional enhancements of Nav1.9 channels to a certain extent lead to hyperexc...

Comprehensive Manometric Evaluation of Dysphagia in Patients with Down Syndrome
AbstractDysphagia is a common symptom in children with Down syndrome and is conventionally evaluated with imaging and endoscopy; high-resolution manometry is not routinely utilized. The aim of this study was to describe and correlate pharyngeal and esophageal manometry findings with contrast studies and endoscopy in patients with Down syndrome and dysphagia. Electronic medical records of patients with Down syndrome with dysphagia seen at our center between January 2008 and January 2022 were reviewed. Data collected included demographics, co-morbidities, symptoms, imaging, endoscopy, and manometry. Twenty-four patients with...

Gut dysmotility in children with neurological impairment: the nutritional management
Intestinal motility disorders represent a frequent problem in children with neurological impairment. These conditions are characterized by abnormal movements of the gut, which can result in symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, reflux, and vomiting. The underlying mechanisms leading to dysmotility are various, and the clinical manifestations are often nonspecific. Nutritional management is an important aspect of care for children with gut dysmotility, as it can help to improve their quality of life. Oral feeding, when safe and in the absence of risk of ingestion or severe dysphagia, should always be encouraged. When ora...

Tracking Gut Motility in Organ and Cultures
Methods Mol Biol. 2023;2644:449-466. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3052-5_29.ABSTRACTGastrointestinal (GI) motility is a key component of digestive health, and it is complex, involving a multitude of cell types and mechanisms to drive both rhythmic and arrhythmic activity. Tracking GI motility in organ and tissue cultures across multiple temporal (seconds, minutes, hours, days) scales can provide valuable information regarding dysmotility and to evaluate treatment options. Here, the chapter describes a simple method to monitor GI motility in organotypic cultures, using a single video camera is placed perpendicularly to the surfa...

A Case of Rapid and Unexpected Esophageal Dysmotility
Swallowing is an important yet complex function that is affected by normal aging as well as processes of structural, neurological, or infectious etiologies. Dysphagia can affect any level of swallowing (oropharyngeal or esophageal) and early recognition and management are important for the nutrition, safety and overall care of the older adult in post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) settings.

Crosstalk Between the Nervous System and Systemic Organs in Acute Brain Injury
AbstractOrgan crosstalk is a complex biological communication between distal organs mediated via cellular, soluble, and neurohormonal actions, based on a two-way pathway. The communication between the central nervous system and peripheral organs involves nerves, endocrine, and immunity systems as well as the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain. Particularly, acute brain injury is complicated by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration causing multiorgan inflammation, microbial dysbiosis, gastrointestinal dysfunction and dysmotility, liver dysfunction, acute kidney injury, and cardiac dysfunction. Organ crosstalk ha...

Acute exposure of Isopyrazam damages the developed cardiovascular system of zebrafish (Danio rerio)
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023 Apr 9:1-11. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2197655. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIsopyrazam (IPZ) is one of the broad-spectrum succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides (SDHIs). Although the potential bio-toxicity of SDHIs has been reported hourly, the specific effects focused on the cardiovascular system have remained unclear and piecemeal. Thus, we chose IPZ as a representative to observe the cardiovascular toxicity of SDHIs in zebrafish. Two types of transgenic zebrafish, Tg (cmlc2:GFP) and Tg (flk1:GFP) were used in this study. Healthy embryos at 6 hpf were exposed to IPZ solutions. The sta...
