Pancreas divisum. Correlation between anatomical abnormalities and bile precipitation in the gallbladder in seven patients [PDF]
Pancreas divisum is a genetic defect associated with recurrent acute pancreatitis due to insufficient drainage of the accessory pancreatic duct. Seven young patients diagnosed with pancreatic divisum and thickening of the gallbladder bile as shown on ...

Depression, a prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder with unclear pathogenesis, involves dysfunctional adenylyl cyclase 8 (Adcy8) as a key risk factor. Chronic stress selectively reduces Adcy8 expression in the dorsal CA1 (dCA1) neurons. Depletion of Adcy8 in dCA1 excitatory neurons induces depressive‐like behaviors by impairing neuronal excitability and ...

ABSTRACT Background In recent years, the incidence of early upper gastric cancer has increased, leading to a wider adoption of proximal gastrectomy (PG) as a possible treatment option. PG is preferred over total gastrectomy (TG) due to its superior postoperative nutritional status and improved surgical safety.

The role of opioid peptides in the regulation of secretin-stimulated bile secretion
Influence of intraperitoneal dalargin (dand m-opioid agonist), DADLE (d-opioid agonist), DAGO (m-opioid agonist) and U50488 (k-opioid agonist) on bile secretion which is stimulated by secretin was studied in sharp experiments on white rats.

Advances in Therapeutic Antibody Discovery and Development Targeting G Protein‐Coupled Receptors
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral to numerous biological processes and are associated with various diseases across all therapeutic areas. Consequently, GPCRs present substantial potential for antibody‐based therapies. This review offers an overview of the therapeutic GPCR‐antibody target landscape and examines the diversity ...

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...
