Journal: Spiked Systems for Colonic Drug Delivery: Architectural Opportunities and Quality Assurance of Selective Laser Sintering. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 6, 2025 Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as the binding material and loperamide hydrochloride was incorporated as the active ingredient...No movement on the tissue was recorded for the spiked balls, and specimens with more spikes exhibited longer retention times and potentially, enhanced bioavailability. Our results suggest that SLS 3D printing is a versatile technology that holds the potential to revolutionize drug delivery systems by enabling the creation of complex geometries and medications with tunable properties.

Journal: Case 332: Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-induced Intestinal Lymphangiectasia. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2024 A comprehensive metabolic panel was performed, indicating a serum chloride level of 98 mmol/L (reference range, 100-108 mmol/L) and an alkaline phosphatase level of 121 U/L (2.02 ?kat/L) (reference range, 45-115 U/L [0.75-1.92 ?kat/L]). The patient underwent surveillance imaging with contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis in the venous phase.

Journal: Cistanche deserticola polysaccharide alleviates constipation by regulating intestinal barrier function and intestinal microbiota and their metabolites. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2024 In this study, we established a loperamide-induced constipation model in mice to investigate the effects of Cistanche polysaccharides (CDPS) and to explore its underlying pharmacological mechanism...Notably, CDPS increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria, including Prevotellaceae UCG-001, Odoribacter, Clostridiales vadin BB60 group, Alistipes, Lactobacillaceae, and Rikenellaceae, while decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria such as Parabacteroides and Proteobacteria. In summary, CDPS may prevent and treat constipation by modulating intestinal flora composition, influencing metabolite profiles, and reinforcing mucosal barrier function.

Journal: Ligustilide improves functional constipation by non-covalently activating TRPA1 in colon tissue. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 7, 2024 Our findings demonstrate that Lig, the API in AS for constipation treatment, activates TRPA1 through non-covalent interactions, increasing mucus secretion and improving functional constipation. These findings advance our understanding of the therapeutic mechanism of AS and Lig on constipation and suggest a new approach for developing TRPA1 agonists.

Journal: Zuojin Pill enhances gastrointestinal motility by modulating the pacemaker potentials in interstitial cells of Cajal through multiple signaling pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 4, 2024 Furthermore, ZJP reversed the reduction of ITR caused by loperamide (Imodium) and normalized the ITR abnormality of two etiologically distinct GI motility disorder (GMD) mouse models. Finally, ZJP increased serum concentrations of the pro-peristalsis factors motilin and substance P. Our results suggest that ZJP depolarizes ICCs via 5-HT4 or muscarinic M3 receptor activation and G-protein dependent calcium-, PLC-, inositol triphosphate-, and MAPK signaling pathways (but not PKC-dependent pathways), leading to enhanced GI motility.

Journal, IO biomarker: Integrated gut microbiota and serum pharmacochemistry reveal the mechanisms of wine steaming in alleviating rhubarb diarrhea. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 30, 2024 Overall, PRH can alleviate RH-induced diarrhea by recovering the GM imbalance and abnormal levels of GM-mediated SCFAs, alleviating the decrease in cellular immune function and abnormal expression of TLR4/NF-?B, thereby suppressing the release of inflammatory factors, possibly, through its lower content of anthraquinones. This study explored for the first time the processing mechanism of wine steaming in alleviating RH-induced diarrhea from the aspects of small intestinal flora and small intestinal immune function.

Journal: What Do Travelers Know about Traveler's Diarrhea? Impact of a Pre-Travel Consultation in the Lisbon Area, Portugal. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 25, 2024 However, knowledge gaps persisted: over 50% were unaware of TD's self-limited nature, 30% did not recognize loperamide as a symptom reliever, and 36% believed all travelers should take antibiotics to prevent TD...Thus, a pre-travel consultation effectively increased travelers' TD knowledge. However, post-consultation knowledge levels remained suboptimal, indicating the need for targeted interventions to increase travelers' literacy and optimize pre-travel consultations.
