Stimulation of the vagus nerve attenuates macrophage activation by activating the Jak2-STAT3 signaling pathway.

TL;DR: In a mouse model of intestinal manipulation, stimulation of the vagus nerve ameliorated surgery-induced inflammation and postoperative ileus by activating STAT3 in intestinal macrophages and it is concluded that the vagal anti-inflammatory pathway acts by α7 subunit–mediated Jak2-STAT3 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokine CXCL13 is essential for lymph node initiation and is induced by retinoic acid and neuronal stimulation.

TL;DR: The data show that the initiation of lymph node development is controlled by RA-mediated expression of CXCL13 and suggest that RA may be provided by adjacent neurons, and show that parasymphathetic neural output in adults led to RA receptor (RAR)-dependent induction of CxCL13 in the gut.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postoperative ileus is maintained by intestinal immune infiltrates that activate inhibitory neural pathways in mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the pathophysiology of postoperative gastroparesis after abdominal surgery in a murine model by determining gastric emptying after manipulation of the small intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton pump inhibitors partially restore mucosal integrity in patients with proton pump inhibitor-responsive esophageal eosinophilia but not eosinophilic esophagitis.

TL;DR: The integrity of the esophageal mucosa is impaired in patients with EoE and PPI-REE, allowing transepithelial transport of small molecules and acid reflux-induced esophagal mucosal damage that promotes transe Pithelial flux of allergens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal Fungal Dysbiosis Is Associated With Visceral Hypersensitivity in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Rats

TL;DR: In studies of rats, the authors found fungi to promote visceral hypersensitivity, which could be reduced by administration of fungicides, soluble β-glucans, or a SYK inhibitor, and the intestinal fungi might therefore be manipulated for treatment of IBS-related visceral hypers sensitivity.
