Article Abstract

(GA), a plant of the family, has long been used as a traditional cure for inflammatory and metabolic illnesses. In addition to various model studies, the current work focuses on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of GA in human colon biopsies. The phenol components in GA aqueous extract (GAAE) were identified by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The antioxidant ability of GAAE was tested utilizing chemiluminescence and flow cytometry using fluorescent yeasts n conjunction with PLB-985-human myeloid leukemia cells. Experiments on human colon biopsies after a biopsy challenge with Escherichia coli-lipopolysaccharides aimed to see if GAAE had an anti-inflammatory impact on human colon inflammation. Western blotting was used to assess the expression of several inflammatory markers. According to the findings, GAAE had a significant influence on hydrogen peroxide and cellular reactive oxygen species. GAAE inhibited the activities of cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor B in inflamed biopsies, indicating anti-inflammatory action. The present study is the first to show that GA has a beneficial effect on human colon inflammation, thanks to its significant antioxidant activity . According to these preliminary data, GA may be utilized to treat a range of human inflammatory illnesses.

Abnormal expression of HLA class Ib, MICA and MICB molecules is associated with the evolution of pathological conditions and clinical settings. Here, we use RNA-sequencing data from two publicly-available projects, from different human organs and tissues and at single-cell level, to present their transcriptional expression throughout the human body, in comparison to that of HLA class Ia, HLA class II, their costimulatory molecules, and the main HLA transcription factors. Our analyses for 21 target genes reveal that median gene expression differs by orders of magnitude and that the classical/non-classical HLA distinction is not absolute for overall expression.

Metabolic interplay of SCFA's in the gut and oral microbiome: a link to health and disease.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), primarily acetate (C2), propionate (C3), and butyrate (C4), are crucial microbial metabolites formed by the fermentation of dietary fibers by gut microbiota in the colon. These SCFAs, characterized by fewer than six carbon atoms, serve as an essential energy source for colonic epithelial cells and contribute approximately 10% of the body's total energy requirement. They are central to maintaining gut health through multiple mechanisms, including reinforcing intestinal barrier function, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and influencing host immune responses.

Enterocolitis is a common gastrointestinal manifestation of immune-related adverse events (irAEs); however, only a few studies have reported on irAE enteritis with localized active inflammation in the small intestine. Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old man who developed diarrhea, abdominal pain, and oral intake difficulty and was subsequently hospitalized after receiving atezolizumab for pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography and enterocolonoscopy revealed active inflammation in the small intestine but not in the colon, leading to the final diagnosis of irAE enteritis.

Heyde's syndrome signifies the link between aortic stenosis (AS) and bleeding due to angiodysplastic changes. While colonic angiodysplasia is commonly implicated, gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) represents a rarer manifestation in this context. We report the case of a 72-year-old male with severe AS who had recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to GAVE.

Small intestinal diverticulosis is a rare condition, often asymptomatic until complicated with diverticulitis, bleeding, obstruction, or perforation. It predominantly affects elderly men and may present concomitantly with colon diverticulosis. We report the case of a 94-year-old Hispanic woman brought to the emergency department presenting with an acute abdomen.
