Staining of tissue sections by basic dyes after immersion in hot hydrochloric acid (0.2 N for 3–10 hr at 60 C) provides a means selective detection many endocrine cells. The hydrolysis suppresses diffuse basophilia, mainly due to RNA, DNA and polysaccharides, increases the basophilia secretory granules cells, due, least part, proteins they store. After such treatment, toluidine blue or azur A (0.01–0.005% 0.02 M McIlvaine buffer, pH 5) pseudoisocyanin (0.02% distilled water) heavily stain D...
Background Many concerns about liver transplantation in alcoholic patients are related to the risk of alcohol recidivism. Starting from 2002, an Alcohol Addiction Unit (AAU) was formed within transplant center for management affected by end-stage disease and included waiting list transplantation. We evaluated retrospectively impact AAU on recidivism after The relationship between duration abstinence before as well. Methods Between 1995 2010, 92 cirrhotic underwent Clinical evaluation use...
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) represents the most common cause of liver disease. The gut microbiota plays a critical role in progression alcohol-related damage. Aim this study was to characterize microbial composition and function AUD patients with alcohol-associated disease (AALD).This included 36 (14 cirrhosis) who were active drinkers an equal number matched controls. Stool composition, serum levels lipopolysaccharide, cytokines/chemokines functional profile assessed.AUD had decreased alpha...
The silver impregnation method of Grimelius has been applied to 100-150 μ thick sections tissues fixed 2 hr 1 mo in mixtures containing formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde or picric acid. After silvering, the (partly postfixed 1% OsO4, for 0.5 hr) were processed electron microscopy. Endocrine granules pancreatic A cells, enter-ochromaffin and some nonenterochromaffin cells gastrointestinal mucosa, thyroid C adrenal medullary found be selectively stained by grains 10-30 nm diameter, either as a...
At least six types of endocrine cells have been identified by light and electron microscopy in the gastrointestinal mucosa rabbit. Among them are two amine producing cells, enterochromaffin enterochromaffin-like four polypeptide cells. The pyloric G very likely hormone gastrin, functionally undefined X mainly scattered fundic mucosa, characterized as gastric type. Small granule (S cells), perhaps related to secretin, large (L cells) unknown function found along intestinal mucosa.Reserpine...
Abstract Binge drinking (BD) is a common pattern of alcohol consumption among adolescents. At present few data are available on the possible relationship between BD and use disorders (AUD) in The aim this study was to assess prevalence behavior AUD A total 2704 students attending 10 purposively selected high schools from three Italian provinces were surveyed. Questionnaires regarding socio-demographic data, amount intake, smoking habits, illicit drugs, physical activity administered....
Background There is strong evidence that alcoholism leads to dysbiosis in both humans and animals. However, it unclear how changes the intestinal microbiota (IM) relate ethanol (EtOH)‐induced disruption of gut–liver homeostasis. We investigated this issue using selectively bred Sardinian alcohol‐preferring (sP) rats, a validated animal model excessive EtOH consumption. Methods Independent groups male adult sP rats were exposed standard, home‐cage 2‐bottle “EtOH (10% v/v) versus water” choice...
