MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were reported to be responsible for intestinal permeability in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) rats in our previous study. However, whether and how miRNAs regulate visceral hypersensitivity in IBS-D remains largely unknown.

We
The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling systems encompass CRF and the structurally related peptide urocortin (Ucn) 1, 2, and 3 along with 2 G-protein coupled receptors, CRF₁ and CRF₂. CRF binds with high and moderate affinity to CRF₁ and CRF₂ receptors, respectively while Ucn1 is a
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are incurable lifelong inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with a rising worldwide incidence. IBD is characterized by diarrhea, rectal bleeding, severe cramping and weight loss. However, there is a growing evidence that IBD is also associated with
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess pathophysiology in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
METHODS
A total of 122 IBS patients (3 male) and 41 healthy females underwent the following: questionnaires (symptoms, psychology), autonomic function, gut transit, gastric volumes, satiation, rectal
BACKGROUND
Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms without structural or biochemical abnormalities. FGIDs are multifactorial conditions with different pathophysiologic mechanisms including altered motility, visceral hyperalgesia, brain-gut
Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), which include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), encompass a heterogeneous group of diseases identified by chronic or recurrent symptom-based diagnostic criteria. Psychosocial factors are key components in the outcome of clinical manifestations of IBS
Opioids produce analgesic effects, and extended use can produce physical dependence in both humans and animals. Dependence to opiates can be demonstrated by either termination of drug administration or through precipitation of the withdrawal syndrome by opiate antagonists. Key features of the opiate
Linaclotide (Linzess® tablets 0.25 mg) is a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist with high selectivity and binding affinity to GC-C. In Japan, linaclotide was approved for 〝irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C)〟 in December 2016 and 〝chronic constipation (CC) (excluding
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) comprises a major proportion of gastrointestinal and primary care practice worldwide. The past several years have seen the rapid evolution of a new and comprehensive model of IBS based on alterations in brain-gut interactions. Alterations in the bidirectional
OBJECTIVE
Intrathecal (IT) drug delivery systems for patients with chronic non-malignant pain are intended to improve pain and quality of life and reduce side effects of systemic use. A subset of patients may have escalating pain, functional decline, and/or intolerable side effects even as IT opioid
In 1995, by reverse pharmacology approach, used here for the first time in the history of pharmacology, nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) has been discovered as the endogenous ligand of a preidentified receptor named opioid receptor like 1. Subsequent studies showed that N/OFQ and its receptor
This study evaluated relationships between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) pain, sympathetic dysregulation, and thermal pain sensitivity. Eight female patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS and ten healthy female controls were tested for sensitivity to thermal stimulation of the left palm. A new
Two groups of patients with chronic daily headache have been treated: 16 patients of the first group received katadolon (flupirtin) in dose 300 mg per day during 2 months as an alternative analgesics instead of combined sedative drugs (sedalgin, pentalgin, citramon) that patients abused for many
A male patient with severe chronic pain has been treated with a combined drug therapy scheme of morphine and clonidine. After cessation of clonidine the patient reported opiate-withdrawal symptoms with agitation, polyuria, diarrhea, and hyperalgesia. It is known that the combination of these two
In this study, we monitored Fos-like immunoreactivity in the sacral spinal cord to identify neurons that are likely to contribute to the autonomic manifestations of opioid antagonist-precipitated withdrawal in morphine-tolerant rats. Injection of systemic antagonist increased the Fos-like
