Hybrid plants and animals often show increased levels of growth fitness, a phenomenon known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. Circadian rhythms optimize physiology metabolism in animals. In plant hybrids polyploids, expression changes the genes within circadian regulatory network, such CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1), lead to However, relationship between allelic CCA1 heterosis has remained elusive. Here, we parent-of-origin effect on altered Arabidopsis thaliana F1 hybrids. This biomass...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and characterized by alternating periods remission. Although UC incidence lower in Taiwan than Western countries, its impact remains considerable, demanding updated guidelines for addressing local healthcare challenges patient needs. The revised employ international standards recent research, emphasizing practical implementation within Taiwanese system. Since inception 2017, Society Inflammatory Bowel Disease has...
Circadian rhythms modulate growth and development in all organisms through interlocking transcriptional-translational feedback loops. The transcriptional loop involves chromatin modifications of central circadian oscillators mammals plants. However, the molecular basis for rhythmic epigenetic regulation is poorly understood. Here we report a relationship between diurnal clock genes histone Arabidopsis. On one hand, CCA1 LHY regulate expression coding eraser (JMJ14) directly writer (SDG2)...
Objectives . Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a promising technique to treat early colorectal neoplasms by facilitating en bloc resection without size limitations. Although ESD for gastrointestinal epithelial has been popular in Japan, clinical experience with rarely reported Taiwan. Methods From March 2006 December 2011, 92 consecutive patients resected at Tri-Service General Hospital were included. was performed noninvasive pit pattern which had the following criteria: (1) lesions...
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, fluctuating inflammatory condition that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. Although incidence of CD in Taiwan lower than Western countries, severity presentation appears to be similar between Asia and West. This observation indicates urgency for devising revised guidelines tailored unique reimbursement system, patient requirements Taiwan. The core objectives these updated include treatment choices integration treat-to-target strategy into...
Jaundice or hyperbilirubinaemia is a common complication of sepsis. UGT1A1 (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1) critical gene for bilirubin metabolism and irinotecan detoxification. However, the molecular pathogenesis during inflammation needs to be further clarified. Human hepatic expression was analysed by RT (reverse transcription)-PCR, qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) Western blotting in response LPS (lipopolysaccharide) stimulation. Transcription regulatory elements upstream promoter...
Colonic angiodysplasia (AGD) is a common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, information on the characteristics and prevalence colonic AGD limited. We determined clinical features risk factors for active bleeding in Taiwanese population.From February 2007 to December 2016, 13,047 patients undergoing 16,760 colonoscopies at Tri-Service General Hospital were included this study. Eighty-four diagnosed with AGD. conducted retrospective study by analyzing medical records these patients....
Early initiation of enteral nutrition improves clinical outcomes in critical patients with serious burns. Post-pyloric tube feeding is a valuable therapeutic option for severely burned poor gastric emptying. How early post-pyloric can be initiated to provide more benefits has not yet been examined. A fire erupted at recreational water park New Taipei City, Taiwan, on June 27, 2015. The results versus delayed this mass-casualty incident were compared. Door-to-post-pyloric time ≤ 24 h was...
Superior mesenteric thrombosis is a rare disease of acute abdomen; many risk factors have been identified including arrhythmia, deep vein thrombosis, and hematologic or rheumatologic causes. Image study more helpful than laboratory test. The standard therapy anticoagulant (unfractionated heparin low-molecular-weight heparins) administration, but there still low possibility to need surgery for the complications such as bowel stricture ischemic disease. We describe case abdominal pain,...

Bowel preparation is crucial for maintaining the quality of colonoscopic findings. Many bowel agents are available that have a few adverse effects. However, inappropriate use may cause severe complications need immediate management. Sodium picosulfate with magnesium citrate (SPMC) widely used colon-cleansing agent. We present case wherein SPMC manifested as extensive esophageal ulceration. The patient did not comply drug instructions. Progressive chest tightness and epigastric pain developed...
Abstract A 76‐year‐old female with a history of chronic constipation presented progressive abdominal pain and blood‐tinged stools at the emergency room. Upon examination, computed tomography scan revealed bowel obstruction by huge fecaloma impaction (9 × 7 cm) focal thickening colonic wall mural enhancement over rectum. After gently evacuating feces manually followed enema, subsequent colonoscopy also confirmed large stercoral ulcer (6 5 rectum diffusely edematous friable, sloughing mucosa....
Background: Hemorrhagic shock from multiple duodenojejunal diverticular bleeding has rarely been reported in the literature. Case Report: A 75-year-old male was admitted with symptoms of syncope and melena persisting for 1 day. During hospitalization, massive hematochezia were noted episodes shock. Upper gastrointestinal pan-endoscopy, colonoscopy angiography failed to identify source bleeding. technetium-labeled erythrocyte scintigraphy suggested proximal intestinal hemorrhage....
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of gastrointestinal tract, with reported prevalence 1% to 3% and male predominance. As MD usually asymptomatic discovered incidentally, true characteristics are still unclear. Most patients identified onset complications, including bleeding, intussusception, diverticulitis, or bowel obstruction. Bleeding complication.1 also cause obscure bleeding in children young adults. Diagnosis challenging because no standardized diagnostic...
