Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

Behavioural actions of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) [PDF]

Neuropeptides, 1984
The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was studied on fear-motivated behaviours, exploration of a novel environment and on novelty and ACTH-induced grooming. VIP was administered via a plastic cannula into the lateral ventricle. Retention of a step-through passive avoidance task was inhibited by 10 and 30 ng VIP injected 1 hour before the ...

Role of PACAP and VIP Signalling in Regulation of Chondrogenesis and Osteogenesis [PDF]

, 2016
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are multifunctional proteins that can regulate diverse physiological processes. These are also regarded as neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory substances in

The sensory penis: A comprehensive immunohistological and ontogenetic exploration of human penile innervation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Penile sexual sensation relies on intricate neural structures that remain incompletely characterized. Immunohistological insights into their development and organization can enhance understanding of penile neuroanatomy and function, while optimizing surgical outcomes.

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]

, 2008
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM

Integrating Dialysis in Ex Situ Machine Perfusion: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Outcomes

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Dialysis‐enhanced EVMP effectively maintains biochemical homeostasis, potentially mitigating metabolic stress and extending perfusion duration. Functional outcomes varied depending on the organ type, with the most pronounced benefits observed in cardiac perfusion.

Short communication. An association between the G/A single nucleotide polymorphism within intron II of VIP gene and milk performance traits in dairy cattle

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are present in the encoding part of the genes responsible for important breeding functions, exert an influence on the cattle’s phenotype since their function is to regulate the genes expression. In this study

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
