Enteric glial cell network function is required for epithelial barrier restitution following intestinal ischemic injury in the early postnatal period

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY-GASTROINTESTINAL AND LIVER PHYSIOLOGY, 326(3), G228–G246.

author keywords: enteric glia; epithelial restitution; intestinal barrier; intestinal ischemia; restitution
TL;DR: A neonatal phenotype characterized by a complete lack of coordinated reparative signaling in the mucosal microenvironment is confirmed and important evidence is reported that the subepithelial EGC network changes significantly over the early postnatal period and that proximity of a specific functional population of EGC to wounded intestinal epithelium contributes to intestinal barrier restitution following ischemic injury.

Misoprostol: Is it safety or a lack of understanding that prevents its more frequent usage?

MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Ulcer Agents / adverse effects; Anti-Ulcer Agents / therapeutic use; Female; Horse Diseases / drug therapy; Horses; Misoprostol / adverse effects; Misoprostol / therapeutic use; Pregnancy; Ulcer / drug therapy; Ulcer / veterinary
TL;DR: The present manuscript provides strong evidence that misoprostol can be used safely and, more to the point, it is a viable option for mares with evidence of gastrointestinal mucosal injury and based on experimental evidence in horses with small intestinal ischaemic injury and evidence of success in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced colitis, misop frostol may be deserving of further studies for hastening mucosal repair.

Peritonitis in the horse

Equine Veterinary Education, 18(3), 143.

By: A. Blikslager n

Contributors: A. Blikslager n

TL;DR: The authors have developed the interesting hypothesis that infiltration of eosinophils ultimately leads to muscular hypertrophy of the intestinal wall, followed by formation of diverticulae, and the notion that surgery is not indicated in certain cases of peritonitis should be dismissed.
