    Abstract Short bowel syndrome occurs following the loss of a large portion of functional intestine and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The intestine exhibits pronounced diurnal rhythms in glucose absorption and mounts a profound proliferative response following massive small bowel resection. Understanding the molecular pathways that underpin this could yield novel treatment options. Two in vivo models were employed using the nocturnally active Sprague Dawley® rat, namely daytime feeding and massive small bowel resection. Glucose absorption exhibited a 24-hour periodicity in the gut and peaked during maximal nutrient delivery, mediated by rhythms in the glucose transporter sodium glucose co-transporter 1 (SGLT1). Feeding during the day shifted the peak in the circadian clock gene PER1 and SGLT1. RNA interference and luciferase assays demonstrated that PER1 transcriptionally regulates SGLT1, linking for the first time clock genes and intestinal glucose absorption. Intestinal proliferation also exhibited diurnal rhythmicity, with peak absorptive surface area occurring during maximal nutrient availability. mir-16 is diurnally expressed in intestinal crypts, exhibiting minimal expression during maximal nutritional availability. mir-16 overexpression increased apoptosis and arrested proliferation in vitro. mir-125a was upregulated in intestinal crypts following 80% small bowel resection, and induced apoptosis and growth arrest upon overexpression in vitro. This work provides novel insights into the role of circadian clock genes, intestinal transporters and microRNAs in regulating intestinal absorption and proliferation and is the first demonstration of a role for microRNAs in these adaptive phenomena. Modulation of these pathways may represent a new therapeutic option for the management of short bowel syndrome.

    Abstract Traumatic injuries in small animals are a common cause for presentation to emergency departments. Severe traumatic injury results in a multitude of systemic responses, which can exacerbate initial tissue damage. Trauma resuscitation should focus on the global goals of controlling hemorrhage, improving tissue hypoperfusion, and minimizing ongoing inflammation and morbidity through the concept of "damage-control resuscitation." This approach focuses on the balanced use of blood products, hemorrhage control, and minimizing aggressive crystalloid use. Although these tenets may not be directly applicable to every veterinary patient with trauma, they provide guidance when managing the most severely injured subpopulation of these patients.

    Abstract The facile preparation of visible-light-driven low-cost photocatalysts with extraordinary catalytic activity is highly beneficial in treating emerging pharmaceutical contaminants. Herein, oxalic acid-induced chemically functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (OCN) was prepared using a one-pot calcination method for the degradation of tetracycline. The estimated structural, morphological, and optical properties proved the formation of highly porous oxalic acid functionalized g-C₃N₄ (OCN) with enhanced surface area and abundant amino groups. The photocatalytic degradation studies reported a maximum tetracycline removal of 92% within 90 min of visible light illumination and followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (k = 0.03068min⁻¹). The phenomenal photocatalytic efficacy of the functionalized OCN is ascribed to the increased presence of amino groups, strengthening visible light absorption. The enriched surface area also generated many active sites for the reclamation of tetracycline. The radicals trapping studies show that holes and superoxides are mainly responsible for the redemption of tetracycline. The degradation pathways of the tetracycline using OCN were predicted using HRMS. This study provides more insights into the reclamation of tetracycline using a highly efficient metal-free photocatalyst.

    Abstract Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and their activated derivatives, often referred to as myofibroblasts (MFs), play a key role in progression of chronic liver injuries leading to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Until recently, MFs were considered a homogenous cell type majorly due to lack of techniques that allow complex molecular studies at a single-cell resolution. Recent technical advancements in genetic lineage-tracing models as well as the exponential growth of studies with single-cell transcriptome and proteome analyses have uncovered hidden heterogeneities among the HSC and MF populations in healthy states as well as chronic liver injuries at the various stages of tissue deformation. The identification of different phenotypes along the HSC/MF axis, which either maintain essential liver functions ("good" HSCs), emerge during fibrosis ("bad" HSCs), or even promote hepatocellular carcinoma ("ugly" HSCs), may lay the foundation for targeting a particular MF phenotype as potential treatment for chronic liver injuries.

    Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) has attained significant research attention in energy and environmental remediation due to its excellent electronic structure, greater physical and chemical properties, and abundance. However, graphitic carbon nitride faces severe problems because of its high recombination rate and higher mass loss of the catalyst during recovery operations. This review emphasizes the methods to overcome the difficulties associated with recovery and reusability of the g-C₃N₄ based photocatalyst towards the redemption of pollutants present in wastewater. Different strategies like magnetic g-C₃N₄ based photocatalysts, immobilized photocatalytic systems, and photocatalytic membranes and their usage in photocatalytic applications are well described. Different preparation strategies of the graphic carbon nitride-based composites are elucidated. The key challenges and future perspectives of adopting these methods for photocatalytic applications are also mentioned.
