Cytomegalovirus infection and gastric emptying [PDF]
Gastrointestinal infection due to cytomegalovirus occurs frequently in liver transplant recipients. Upper gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection is associated with subjective complaints of nausea, a sense of abdominal fullness, and occasionally ...

Review article: pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) involvement is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). There are no disease modifying therapies for this condition and the treatment remains symptomatic, largely owing to

Microencapsulated Quercetin and Bifidobacterium animalis Independently Preserve Jejunal Enteric Neurons During Colorectal Carcinogenesis. [PDF]
Our study explores the impact of colorectal carcinogenesis on jejunal neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS), revealing significant neuronal damage. We demonstrated that treatments with microencapsulated quercetin and Bifidobacterium animalis protect enteric neuronal density, and this is reflected in improved gastrointestinal transit times.

Bombesin-Stimulated Acetylcholine Release from Myenteric Plexus Neurons [PDF]
The ability of bombesin to stimulate acetylcholine release from guinea pig myenteric plexus neurons was studied using a primary neuronal culture system. Bombesin caused dose-dependent increases in [3H]-acetylcholine (ACh) release from guinea pig myenteric plexus neurons. ACh release in response to 0.5 mM bombesin (160 +/- 12% of control) was blocked by

Activity of protease-activated receptors in primary cultured human myenteric neurons
Activity of the four known protease-activated receptors (PARs) has been well studied in rodent enteric nervous system and results in animal models established an important role for neuronal PAR2.

The interstitial cells of Cajal associated with the myenteric plexus (ICC-MP) are located in the same area as the myenteric plexus. ICC-MP networks are linked to the generation of electrical pacemaker activity that causes spontaneous gastrointestinal (GI)
