    Abstract To maintain an effective barrier, intestinal progenitor cells must divide at a rate that matches the loss of dead and dying cells. Otherwise, epithelial breaches expose the host to systemic infection by gut-resident microbes. Unlike most pathogens, Vibrio cholerae blocks tissue repair by arresting progenitor proliferation in the Drosophila model. At present, we do not understand how V. cholerae circumvents such a critical antibacterial defense. We find that V. cholerae blocks epithelial repair by activating the growth inhibitor bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway in progenitors. Specifically, we show that interactions between V. cholerae and gut commensals initiate BMP signaling via host innate immune defenses. Notably, we find that V. cholerae also activates BMP and arrests proliferation in zebrafish intestines, indicating an evolutionarily conserved link between infection and failure in tissue repair. Our study highlights how enteric pathogens engage host immune and growth regulatory pathways to disrupt intestinal epithelial repair.

    Abstract Road salt runoff from de-icing applications is increasingly impacting water quality around the globe. Excess salt (especially chloride) concentrations can negatively impact the biological, chemical, and physical properties of freshwater ecosystems. Though road salt pollution is a prevalent issue affecting many northern temperate lakes, there are few studies on how freshwater salinization interacts with other ecological stressors such as eutrophication. We investigated how chloride from road deicers influences water quality in an urban lake. We sampled a tributary and lake receiving large amounts of road salt runoff from a nearby highway in Grand Rapids, Michigan over a 20-month period. Chloride concentrations in the deepest part of the lake consistently exceeded the US EPA chloride chronic toxicity threshold of 230 mg/L, at times reaching up to 331 mg/L. These high chloride concentrations appear to be responsible for preventing part of the lake from complete mixing, and causing hypoxia in the deepest regions of the lake. Total phosphorus concentrations near the surface averaged 35 μg/L but exceeded 7500 μg/L in the deepest part of the lake, which occupies 3-5 % of total lake volume. Phosphorus release rates from the sediments were low and unlikely to be a current source of the high phosphorus concentrations. Rather, both phosphorus and chloride likely have been accumulating in the hypolimnion over a relatively long period of time. Lake management actions will require control of both internal and external phosphorus and chloride sources in the future. We recommend that phosphorus be addressed first to avoid the extremely high phosphorus concentrations from reaching the photic zone and stimulating algal blooms, which would occur if salt was removed first and the halocline broke down. Our findings and recommendations are applicable to other lakes facing similar issues.

    Abstract The intestinal epithelium is a complex tissue monolayer composed of regionally and functionally specialized intestinal epithelial cells. Given epithelial exposure to harsh and varied luminal conditions, epithelial cells continuously regenerate to sustain the barrier against environmental factors, including microbial invaders. Multipotent intestinal stem cells are essential to epithelial regenerative capacity, generating a programed mixture of absorptive and secretory cell types. Mechanisms of epithelial growth and differentiation in response to endogenous or external stressors remain under investigation. In this review, we highlight the zebrafish, Danio rerio, as a potent model of intestinal epithelial development and function. We describe epithelial composition and key regulators of epithelial renewal to promote the zebrafish as an investigative tool to study epithelial development and growth. We also highlight areas for discovery, particularly in the context of stress-dependent regulation of epithelial function.

    Abstract Workforce planning of future requirements depends on accurate data and the GUM consultant and trainee workforce is reviewed annually by Health Education England (HEE) and the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) to make recommendations for specialty training numbers. A deep dive exercise in 2017 undertaken with HEE revealed that the headcount was reasonably accurate but there was much less certainty around the whole-time equivalent (WTE). The aim of this study was to triangulate the multiple sources of data regarding Consultants in the specialty, to identify and complete the gaps in data.

    Abstract The intestine is constantly exposed to a dynamic community of microbes. Intestinal epithelial cells respond to microbes through evolutionarily conserved recognition pathways, such as the immune deficiency (IMD) pathway of Drosophila, the Toll-like receptor (TLR) response of flies and vertebrates, and the vertebrate nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) pathway. Microbial recognition pathways are tightly controlled to respond effectively to pathogens, tolerate the microbiome, and limit intestinal disease. In this review, we focus on contributions of different model organisms to our understanding of how epithelial microbe recognition impacts intestinal proliferation and differentiation in homeostasis and disease. In particular, we compare how microbes and subsequent recognition by the intestine influences barrier integrity, intestinal repair and tumorigenesis in Drosophila, zebrafish, mice, and organoids. In addition, we discuss the importance of microbial recognition in homeostatic intestinal growth and discuss how immune pathways directly impact stem cell and crypt dynamics.

    Abstract We report the use of a sacral plexus catheter for continuous local anaesthetic infusion in a patient with a unilateral sacral ala fracture following a fall from a horse. Although sacral plexus blockade has been well described for lower limb surgery, an ultrasound-guided continuous catheter technique for conservatively managed fractures has not been described. Despite appropriate oral analgesia, the patient reported severe pain, particularly in the right gluteal region, which meant she was unable to sit upright or take deep breaths. A sacral plexus catheter was inserted with ultrasound guidance and an initial bolus of 30 ml levobupivicaine 0.25% was delivered followed by infusion of 8 ml.h

    Abstract Gut microbial products direct growth, differentiation, and development in animal hosts. However, we lack system-wide understanding of cell-specific responses to the microbiome. We profiled cell transcriptomes from the intestine, and associated tissue, of zebrafish larvae raised in the presence or absence of a microbiome. We uncovered extensive cellular heterogeneity in the conventional zebrafish intestinal epithelium, including previously undescribed cell types with known mammalian homologs. By comparing conventional to germ-free profiles, we mapped microbial impacts on transcriptional activity in each cell population. We revealed intricate degrees of cellular specificity in host responses to the microbiome that included regulatory effects on patterning and on metabolic and immune activity. For example, we showed that the absence of microbes hindered pro-angiogenic signals in the developing vasculature, causing impaired intestinal vascularization. Our work provides a high-resolution atlas of intestinal cellular composition in the developing fish gut and details the effects of the microbiome on each cell type.
