    Abstract Evidence suggests the use of natural compounds as support in the management of uterine contractility disorders. We recently demonstrated that the essential oil of Apiacea Prangos ferulacea (L.) (Prangoil) modulates intestinal smooth muscle contractility. Thus, we aimed to evaluate if Prangoil could also affect the contractility of uterine muscle in non-pregnant rat and to investigate the related action mechanism/s. The effects of the aromatic monoterpenes, β-ocimene and carvacrol, constituents of Prangoil, were also evaluated. Spontaneous contractions and contraction-induced by K

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl is an Apiaceae plant, widely used in traditional medicine. Recently, chemical composition and biological activities of its essential oil (Prangroil) have been reported, but there are no studies on possible effects on intestinal contractility.
    Aims of the study: We investigated the effects of essential oil Sicilian Prangoil on the contractility of rat small (duodenum) and large (colon) intestine and the related action mechanism.
    Materials and methods: Responses to Prangoil and to its major component β-ocimen in intestinal segments were assessed in vitro as changes in isometric tension.
    Results: Prangoil, induced in duodenum, depending upon doses, contraction and/or muscular relaxation. Instead, in colon Prangoil only reduced the phasic contractions and induced muscular relaxation. β-ocimen, in both segments, produced only reduction of the spontaneous contractions without affecting basal tone. Prangoil contractile effects were abolished by ω-conotoxin, neural N-type Ca
    Conclusion: Prangoil affects the contractility of small and large intestine in rat, with regional differences, via potentiation of neural cholinergic activity, blockade of L-type voltage-gated calcium channel and reduction of Ca

    Abstract Background: Recent studies have shown that gut microbiome plays important roles in response to radiation exposure. IL-18, an inflammatory cytokine, is highly elevated in mice, mini-pigs and nonhuman primates after radiation exposure. Blocking IL-18 using its endogenous binding protein (IL-18BP) increases mice survival after radiation exposure by decreasing bone marrow interferon-gamma levels.
    Methods: To further characterize the roles of IL-18 in response to radiation, both wild type and IL-18 knockout (IL-18 KO) mice were exposed to 9.0 Gy total body irradiation (TBI). The 30-day survival result demonstrated that IL-18 KO mice were significantly more resistant to radiation compared to the wild type mice (p < 0.0001). Mouse faecal samples were collected at pre-radiation (d0), d1, d3, d7, d14, d21 and d29 after radiation exposure. Microbiome profiling was performed on the faecal samples using 16S and ITS sequencing technology.
    Results: Data analysis showed that there was significant difference in the bacterial microbiome between wild type and IL-18 KO mice. Cohousing of wild type and IL-18 KO mice decreased the bacterial microbiome difference between the two genotypes. Much fewer bacterial genera were significantly changed in wild type mice than the IL-18 KO mice after radiation exposure. The different composition of the IL-18 KO mice and wild type mice persisted even after radiation exposure. Bacterial genera that significantly correlated with other genera were identified in the IL-18 KO and wild type mice. The metabolic pathways that differentially expressed in both genotypes were identified. The animal bacterial microbiome data could be used to predict the animal's radiation status. The fungal microbiome had no significant difference regarding genotype or time after radiation exposure.
    Conclusion: The current study helps understand the gut microbiome in different genetic backgrounds and its temporal changes after radiation exposure. Our data provide insight into the mechanisms underlying radiation-induced toxicity and help identify bacteria important in response to radiation.

    Abstract Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), comprising the majority of initial BC presentations, requires accurate risk stratification for optimal management. This review explores the evolving role of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) as a prognostic biomarker in NMIBC, with a particular focus on its implications in the context of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy. The literature suggests a potential association between elevated PD-L1 status and adverse outcomes, resistance to BCG treatment, and disease progression. However, conflicting findings and methodological issues highlight the heterogeneity of PD-L1 assessment in NMIBC, probably due to the complex biological mechanisms that regulate the interaction between PD-L1 and the tumor microenvironment. The identification of PD-L1 as a prognostic biomarker provides ground for tailored therapeutic interventions, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Nevertheless, challenges such as intratumoral heterogeneity and technical issues underscore the need for standardized protocols and larger, homogeneous trials. This review contributes to the ongoing debate on the personalized management of NMIBC patients, focusing on the advances and perspectives of incorporating PD-L1 as a biomarker in this setting.

    Abstract Introduction: Colovesical fistula (CVF) is a condition with various aetiologies and presentations. Surgical treatment is necessary in most cases. Due to its complexity, open approach is preferred. However, laparoscopic approach is reported in the management of CVF due to diverticular disease. The aim of this study was to analyse the management and outcome of patients with CVF of different aetiologies treated with laparoscopic approach.
    Patients and methods: This was a retrospective study. We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing elective laparoscopic management of CVF from March 2015 to December 2019.
    Statistical analysis used: None.
    Results: Nine patients underwent laparoscopic management of CVF. There were no intraoperative complications or conversions to open surgery. A sigmoidectomy was performed in eight cases. In one patient, a fistulectomy with sigmoid and bladder defect closure was performed. In two cases of locally advanced colorectal cancer with bladder invasion, a multi-stage procedure with temporary colostomy was chosen. In three cases, with no intraoperative leakage, we did not perform bladder suture. Four Clavien I-II complications were recorded. Two fragile patients died in the post-operative period. No patients required re-operation. At a median follow-up of 21 months (interquartile range: 6-47), none of the patients had recurrence of fistula.
    Conclusions: CVF can be managed with laparoscopic approach by skilled laparoscopic surgeons in different clinical scenarios. Bladder suture is not necessary if leakage is absent. Informed counselling to the patient must be guaranteed concerning the risk of major complications and mortality in case of CVF due to malignant disease.
