Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors in gastrointestinal dysfunction and inflammatory bowel disease: A review

Patrick Hawker, Li Zhang, Lu Liu

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The cause of IBD is unknown and many patients are unresponsive to medication. Understanding the immunopathogenesis of IBD is crucial for determining its cause and improving treatments.

Quercetin Attenuates Trauma-Induced Heterotopic Ossification by Tuning Immune Cell Infiltration and Related Inflammatory Insult

Juehong Li, Ziyang Sun, Gang Luo, Shuo Wang, Haomin Cui, Zhixiao Yao, Hao Xiong, Yunwei He, Yun Qian, Cunyi Fan

Summary: The study showed increased accumulation of monocyte/macrophages and mast cells during the progression of HO, and depletion of macrophages and stabilization of mast cells significantly hindered HO formation. Quercetin was found to inhibit immune cell recruitment and inflammation, with potential for preventing trauma-induced HO by modulating SIRT1/NF kappa B signaling.

The Role of Inflammatory Mediators in the Development of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders

Tibor Docsa, Adam Sipos, Charles S. Cox, Karen Uray

Summary: Feeding intolerance and ileus are common complications in critically ill, surgical, and trauma patients, leading to longer hospital stays, increased infections, readmission rates, and medical costs. Current medical treatment for ileus is ineffective and has serious side effects. Inflammatory mediators play a critical role in the development of ileus, but their direct effects on gastrointestinal cells are not well understood.

Colorectal Cancer in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Mechanisms and Management

Shailja C. Shah, Steven H. Itzkowitz

Summary: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Chronic inflammation plays a key role in the development of neoplastic progression, resulting in dysplastic precursor lesions. Colitis-associated CRC shares molecular similarities with sporadic CRC and the microbiome and host immune system may also play a role. However, further research is needed to understand the specific molecular differences and their role in inflammation-associated cancers.

Update on Anti-Inflammatory Molecular Mechanisms Induced by Oleic Acid

Consuelo Santa-Maria, Soledad Lopez-Enriquez, Sergio Montserrat-de la Paz, Isabel Geniz, Maria Edith Reyes-Quiroz, Manuela Moreno, Francisca Palomares, Francisco Sobrino, Gonzalo Alba

Summary: In 2010, the Mediterranean diet was recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, with olive oil being its most characteristic food due to its high nutritional value. Oleic acid (OA), the major component of olive oil, has been found to have various health properties, affecting cell membrane fluidity, receptors, signaling pathways, and gene expression. Additionally, OA has been identified as an activator of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) derived from OA has been suggested as a potential therapeutic agent for obesity treatment. OA may also influence epigenetic mechanisms and regulate microRNA expression, contributing to its anti-inflammatory effects. This review focuses on understanding the immune modulation exerted by OA through examining cellular reactions and intracellular processes in T cells, macrophages, and neutrophils.

Mast cells in colorectal cancer tumour progression, angiogenesis, and lymphangiogenesis

Xiaoxin Liu, Xinyu Li, Haotian Wei, Yanyan Liu, Ningxu Li

Summary: The characteristics of tumour cells and their interactions with the tumour microenvironment influence cancer prognosis. Mast cells (MCs), known for their role in allergic responses, have been found to be associated with tumour development. In colorectal cancer (CRC), MC proliferation is linked to angiogenesis, lymph node involvement, and patient prognosis. MCs play a significant role in CRC development by releasing angiogenic and lymphangiogenic factors. Additionally, MCs can actively promote tumour growth through signaling pathways and histamine production. This article discusses the impact of MC-derived mediators on tumour growth, the prognostic importance of MCs in CRC patients, and the crosstalk between MCs and CRC cells in the tumour microenvironment, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of MC function in CRC and the potential of targeting MCs as a therapeutic approach in the future.

Activation of Mast Cells by Neuropeptides: The Role of Pro-Inflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines

Dorina Lauritano, Filiberto Mastrangelo, Cristian D'Ovidio, Gianpaolo Ronconi, Alessandro Caraffa, Carla E. Gallenga, Ilias Frydas, Spyros K. Kritas, Matteo Trimarchi, Francesco Carinci, Pio Conti

Summary: Mast cells (MCs) are tissue cells derived from bone marrow stem cells and play a role in various diseases and disorders. They communicate with microglia in the brain through the production of mediators and can have pathological effects. MCs release preformed chemical mediators and cytokines, and can interact with neuropeptides, leading to inflammation in the central nervous system. This article explores the activation of MCs by neuropeptides and the therapeutic potential of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Liraglutide modulates morpho-functional and inflammatory gastrointestinal responses in rats

Jhony Willams Gusmao-Nascimento, Daniela Maione Nunes Cruz, Loyane Almeida Gama, Wellington David Luz Alves, Mariana Pirani Rocha Machado, Luciana Aparecida Cora, Madileine Francely Americo

Summary: The study found that Liraglutide can improve metabolic and gastrointestinal parameters in obese rats, reduce fat accumulation, and regulate inflammatory signaling in duodenal tissue. The therapeutic effects of Liraglutide are dose-dependent and are mainly driven by its action on slowing gastric motility in the gastrointestinal tract.

Summary: The study found that age and gender have an impact on spontaneous swallowing frequency in healthy individuals, with older age associated with lower spontaneous swallowing frequency. Gender did not have a significant effect on spontaneous swallowing frequency. Sensory stimulation with TRPV1 agonist capsaicin significantly increased spontaneous swallowing frequency in patients with post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for central pattern generator activation in these patients.

Economic Evaluation of Clinical, Nutritional and Rehabilitation Interventions on Oropharyngeal Dysphagia after Stroke: A Systematic Review

Sergio Marin, Omar Ortega, Mateu Serra-Prat, Ester Valls, Laia Perez-Cordon, Pere Clave

Summary: This study aimed to assess the efficiency of healthcare interventions in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (PS-OD) management. The findings suggest that screening and diagnosis of PS-OD can adjust and reduce hospitalization costs, while OD management after thrombolysis may not significantly reduce hospitalization costs. Videofluoroscopy is found to be the most cost-effective screening method. Rehabilitation programs and home enteral nutrition are also shown to be cost-effective. However, further evaluation and research on novel strategies are still needed.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of the xanthan-gum-based thickener Tsururinko Quickly (TQ) in older patients with severe oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). The results showed that TQ greatly improved the safety of swallowing and reduced the occurrences of penetration and aspiration in a shear-viscosity-dependent manner. The therapeutic range for TQ was found to be 100-800 mPa·s, with 200 and 800 mPa·s being the optimal doses for older patients with OD.

Summary: In addition to shear viscosity, other texture parameters such as adhesiveness and cohesiveness are important for safe swallowing in individuals with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Texture analyzers can provide valuable information on food properties, but the protocols and instruments for assessing adhesiveness and cohesiveness are limited. This study aimed to characterize four dysphagia thickeners using different texture analyzer settings and found that the choice of test type and probe influenced the results, while the test speed could be standardized to 1 mm/s.
