Inflammation promotes stomach epithelial defense by stimulating the secretion of antimicrobial peptides in the mucus

Gut Microbes
The mucus serves as a protective barrier in the gastrointestinal tract against microbial attacks. While its role extends beyond merely being a physical barrier, the extent of its active bactericidal properties remains unclear, and the mechanisms ...

Effect of Laser Posterior Nasal Neurolysis for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To determine the safety and efficacy of laser ablation of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) for the treatment of chronic rhinitis. Methods This study was a single‐center, prospective, single‐blinded, randomized sham‐controlled trial. Patients with a 24‐h reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) ≧ 5, rhinorrhea ≧ 2, and congestion ≧

The isolation, purification, tissue localization and identification of a glycoprotein found in the crude mucus gel of patients with carcinoma of the stomach

, 2008
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-138).The thin layer of crude mucus lining the human gastric mucosa protects the delicate gastric epithelium from the high shear forces associated with digestion. Gastric mucus is composed largely of water (>

Ex Vivo Measurements of Mucus Secretion by Colon Explants

, 2011
An explant tissue system for the study and recording of mucus secretion has been developed. Human colon biopsies or tissue from experimental animals are mounted in a horizontal perfusion chamber and the mucus accumulated on the apical side is observed ...

Biofilm Exoproteins From Staphylococcus Species Impede Re‐Epithelialization of Nasal Epithelial Cells During Wound Healing and Cease Ciliary Beat Frequency

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease with many different contributing factors, including bacterial infection. CRS patients are typically managed with medical therapies; however, these treatments frequently fail, leaving surgery as the only viable option.

Protein analyses for mucus secretion from porcine airway gland.

, 2013
(A) Coomassie Blue-stained protein bands on a Tris-glycine 4–20% gradient SDS polyacrylamide gel. Mucus secretion was stimulated either by 10 µM PAR2-AP or 10 µM carbachol (CCh). Protein molecular weight standards are shown on the left.

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Neutrophil elastase promotes mucin secretion in airway epithelial cells through the MARCKS/ACK1/cortactin pathway

Central European Journal of Immunology
Introduction Excessive mucus secretion in airway epithelial cells is a hallmark of various airway inflammatory diseases. Neutrophil elastase (NE) is a recognized inducer of mucus secretion, yet the precise mechanisms underlying this process remain ...

Identification and validation of fecal complement component 3 and fibronectin as potential biomarkers for monitoring disease activity in ulcerative colitis based on a mouse model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated elevated levels of fecal component 3 (C3) and fibronectin (FN) in an ulcerative colitis (UC) mouse model. Importantly, fecal C3 exhibited a stronger correlation with disease activity than the clinically used fecal calprotectin (FC).
