| 1 | A new oral formulation for the release of sodium butyrate in the ileo-cecal region and colon显示文摘AIM: To develop a new formulation with hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and Shellac coating for extended and selective delivery of butyrate in the ileo-caecal region and colon. METHODS: One-gram sodium butyrate coated tablets containing 13C-butyrate were orally administered to 12 healthy subjects and 12 Crohn's disease patients and the rate of 13C-butyrate absorption was evaluated by 13CO2 breath test analysis for eight hours. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (500 mg) was co-administered as a biomarker of oro-ileal transit time to determine also the site of release and absorption of butyrate by the time of its serum maximum concentration. RESULTS: The coated formulation delayed the 13C-butyrate release by 2-3 h with respect to the uncoated tablets. Sodium butyrate was delivered in the intestine of all subjects and a more variable transit time was found in Crohn's disease patients than in healthy subjects. The variability of the peak 13CO2 in the kinetic release of butyrate was explained by the inter-subject variability in transit time. However, the coating chosen ensured an efficient release of the active compound even in patients with a short transit time. CONCLUSION: Simultaneous evaluation of breath 13CO2 and tauroursodeoxycholic acid concentration- time curves has shown that the new oral formulation consistently releases sodium butyrate in the ileo-cecal region and colon both in healthy subjects and Crohn's disease patients with variable intestinal transit time. This formulation may be of therapeutic value in inflammatory bowel disease patients due to the appropriate release of the active compound. | Aldo Roda Patrizia Simoni Maria Magliulo Paolo Nanni Mario Baraldini Giulia Roda Enrico Roda | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,7: | 8 |
| 2 | Beneficial effect of sulphate-bicarbonate-calcium water on gallstone risk and weight control显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of drinking sulphate-bicarbonate-calcium thermal water (TW) on risk factors for atherosclerosis and cholesterol gallstone disease.METHODS:Postmenopausal women with functional dy-spepsia and/or constipation underwent a 12 d cycle of thermal (n=20) or tap (n=20) water controlled drinking.Gallbladder fasting volume at ultrasound,blood vitamin E,oxysterols (7-β-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol),bile acid (BA),triglycerides,total/low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured at baseline and at the end of the study.Food consumption,stool frequency and body weight were recorded daily.RESULTS:Blood lipids,oxysterols and vitamin E were not affected by either thermal or tap water consumption.Fasting gallbladder volume was significantly (P<0.005) smaller at the end of the study than at baseline in the TW (15.7±1.1 mL vs 20.1±1.7 mL) but not in the tap water group (19.0±1.4 mL vs 19.4±1.5 mL).Total serum BA concentration was significantly (P<0.05) higher at the end of the study than at baseline in the TW (5.83±1.24μmol vs 4.25±1.00μmol) but not in the tap water group (3.41±0.46μmol vs 2.91±0.56μmol).The increased BA concentration after TW consumption was mainly accounted for by glycochenodeoxycholic acid.The number of pasta (P<0.001),meat (P<0.001) and vegetable (P<0.005) portions consumed during the study and of bowel movements per day (P<0.05) were significantly higher in the TW than in the tap water group.Body weight did not change at the end of the study as compared to baseline in both groups.CONCLUSION:Sulphate-bicarbonate-calcium water consumption has a positive effect on lithogenic risk and intestinal transit and allows maintenance of a stable body weight despite a high food intake. | Stefano Ginanni Corradini Flaminia Ferri Michela Mordenti Luigi Iuliano Maria Siciliano Maria Antonella Burza Bruno Sordi Barbara Caciotti Maria Pacini Edoardo Poli Adriano De Santis Aldo Roda Carolina Colliva Patrizia Simoni Adolfo Francesco Attili | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,9: | 3 |

| 4 | Exocrine pancreatic function during the early recovery phase of acute pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND:Exocrine pancreatic dysfunction has been reported in humans in the convalescent period after acute pancreatitis,but the data are scarce and conflicting.This study aimed to prospectively assess the exocrine pancreatic function in patients with acute pancreatitis at the time of their refeeding. METHODS:Fecal elastase-1 was determined on the day of refeeding in all consecutive acute pancreatitis patients with their first episode of the disease.They were 75 patients including 60(80.0%)patients with mild acute pancreatitis and 15(20.0%)patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Etiologically 61 patients(81.3%)had biliary disease,1(1.3%) had alcoholic disease and 3(4.0%)had hypertriglyceridemia. No causes of acute pancreatitis were found in the remaining 10 patients(13.3%).The mean(±SD)refeeding time after the attack of acute panereatitis was 11.2±10.2 days. RESULTS:Pathological values of FE-1 were found in 9 of the 75 patients(12.0%):7(9.3%)patients with mild pancreatitis and 2(2.7%)patients with severe pancreatitis(P=1.000). The frequency of the pathological values of fecal elastase-1 was significantly different from that of various etiologies of the disease(P=0.030).It was significantly lower in patients with biliary pancreatitis(9.8%;P=0.035)than in one patient with alcoholic pancreatitis(P=0.126),one patient with hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis(33.3%; P=0.708),and one patient with idiopathic pancreatitis (10.0%;P=0.227).Pathological fecal elastase-1 was not significantly related to sex,age or day of refeeding.CONCLUSION:Exocrine pancreatic function should be routinely assessed in patients with acute pancreatitis at the time of refeeding in order to supplement their diet with pancreatic extracts. | Raffaele Pezzilli Patrizia Simoni Riccardo Casadei Antonio M.Morselli-Labate | 2009 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2009,8,3: | 2 |

| 7 | Non-invasive panel tests for gastrointestinal motility monitoring within the MARS-500 Project显示文摘AIM:To develop an integrated approach for monitoring gastrointestinal motility and inflammation state suitable for application in long-term spaceflights.METHODS:Breath tests based on the oral administration of 13 C-labeled or hydrogen-producing substrates followed by the detection of their metabolites(13 CO 2 or H 2) in breath were used to measure gastrointestinal motility parameters during the 520-d spaceflight ground simulation within the MARS-500 Project.In particular,the gastric emptying rates of solid and liquid contents were evaluated by 13 C-octanoic acid and 13 Cacetate breath tests,respectively,whereas the orocecal transit time was assessed by an inulin H 2-breath test,which was performed simultaneously with the 13 C-octanoic acid breath test.A ready-to-eat,standardized pre-packaged muffin containing 100 mg of 13 C-octanoic acid was used in the 13 C-octanoic acid breath test to avoid the extemporaneous preparation of solid meals.In addition,a cassette-type lateral flow immunoassay was employed to detect fecal calprotectin,a biomarker of intestinal inflammation.Because no items could be introduced into the simulator during the experiment,all materials and instrumentation required for test performance during the entire mission simulation had to be provided at the beginning of the experiment.RESULTS:The experiments planned during the simulation of a manned flight to Mars could be successfully performed by the crewmembers without any external assistance.No evident alterations(i.e.,increasing or decreasing trends) in the gastric emptying rates were detected using the 13 C-breath tests during the mission simulation,as the gastric emptying half-times were in the range of those reported for healthy subjects.In contrast to the 13 C-breath tests,the results of the inulin H 2-breath test were difficult to interpret because of the high variability of the H 2 concentration in the breath samples,even within the same subject.This variability suggested that the H 2-breath test was strongly affected by external factors,which may have been related to the diet of the crewmembers or to environmental conditions(e.g.,the accumulation of hydrogen in the simulator microenvironment).At least in closed microenvironments such as the MARS-500 simulator,13 C-breath tests should therefore be preferred to H 2-breath tests.Finally,the fecal calprotectin test showed significant alterations during the mission simulation:all of the crewmembers were negative for the test at the beginning of the simulation but showed various degrees of positivity in at least one of the subsequent tests,thus indicating the onset of an intestinal inflammation.CONCLUSION:Breath tests,especially those 13 Cbased,proved suitable for monitoring gastrointestinal motility in the 520-d isolation experiment withinMARS-500 project and can be applied in long-term spaceflights. | Aldo Roda Mara Mirasoli Massimo Guardigli Patrizia Simoni Davide Festi Boris Afonin Galina Vasilyeva | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,14: | 1 |
