CRISPR-Cas9-mediated leptin (Lep) knockout (KO) mice exhibited prominent phenotypes for constipation, even though they were not compared with other model animals. This study compared the stool excretion, gastrointestinal motility, histological structure, mucin secretion, and enteric nerve function in Lep KO and high fat diet (HFD)-treated mice to determine if there were differences in their phenotypes for constipation. Most obesity phenotypes, including fat weight, adipocyte size, expression of lipolytic proteins (HSL, perilipin, and ATGL), and glucose concentrations, were detected similarly in the Lep KO and HFD-treated mice...

RATIONALE: Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is a rare disease with lymphocytic infiltration of the alveolar interstitial and air spaces, sometimes classified as a clonal lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) with high prevalence in patients with immunodysregulation. Although association of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma development with infectious agents has been well described, it is not so in the case of LIP. Attempts to demonstrate an infective cause by direct microbe detection have failed, but association with atypical specific immune response to opportunistic infectious agent has not been studied...

BACKGROUND: Bronchoalveolar lavage is considered a helpful tool in the diagnosis of diffuse parenchimal lung diseases such as sarcoidosis. CD4/CD8 ratio is higly specific but not sensitive to distinguish sarcoidosis and other intestitial lung diseases. We aimed to compare the diagnostic value of CD4/CD8 ratio and other lmphocyte subpopulations such as CD3+16+56, CD103+, CD4+CD103+, CD8+CD103+ in bronchoalveolar lavage to distinguish sarcoidosis and other nonsarcoidosis interstitial lung diseases...

INTRODUCTION: The Cajal-like intestitial cells (ICCs) act as a pacemaker and are responsible for generating smooth muscle activity in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Interstitial cells that resemble ICCs in the GI have been identified in the urinary bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This review is based on a systemic literature research. The medline/pubmed, scopus, embase, and Web of Science databases were browsed in order to identify original and review articles, as well as editorials relating to cajal-like cells, urinary bladder, detrusor overactivity, overactive bladder, glivec, etc...

We introduce a male patient with bilateral chryptorchidism submitted to surgery; during the intervention, macroscopically round macules were seen in the outer surface of both testes. In the round macules histological study, groups of seminiferous tubules were observed, including stroma and Leydig's intestitial cells surrounded of tunica albuginea, isolated from the rest of testicular parenchymal tissue; the diagnosis "Ectopic testicular parenchyma tissue" was confirmed by histopathological study. Due to the seminiferous tubules are surrounded by the tunica albuginea, with no apparent connection to the rest of the testicular parenchyma, a long-term assessment is required, both during puberty as well as in adulthood; owing to that can mislead and make unnecessary laparotomies and orchiectomies in the future...

Although the concept of purinergic signalling arose from experiments designed to find the identity of the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) inhibitory neurotransmitter in the gut, it has taken many years for the more general importance of the various roles of ATP as a physiological messenger in the gut to be recognized. Firstly, vasoactive intestitial polypeptide (VIP) and later nitric oxide (NO) were considered the NANC transmitter and it was only later, after the concept of cotransmission was established, that ATP, NO and VIP were recognized as cotransmitters in NANC nerves, although the proportions vary in different gut regions...

Interstitial cystitis, a disease of unknown origin which occurs predominantly in women, causes great pain and considerable disability. In most cases, the long interval between onset of symptoms and establishment of the diagnosis is due to a lack of familiarity with the disease.Although there is no "cure," several forms of therapy may lead to improvement. In a series of 27 patients, 15 received benefit from distention of the bladder through the use of a solution of monoxychlorosene.

The stem cell kinase CD117 has recently been found to play an important role in the development of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), which are currently regarded as pacemaker cells of the gastrointestinal tract. CD117 is expressed in both gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and ICC, with the latter regarded by many as the progenitor cells of GIST. The authors investigated immunoreactivity of 25 normal surgically removed small intestinal tissues and correlated the findings with electron microscopy (EM) on 12 cases...
