Although alternative slow-wave patterns have been correlated with gastric disorders, their mechanisms and how they alter contractions remain understudied. Optical electromechanical mapping, a developing field in cardiac electrophysiology, images electrical and mechanical physiology simultaneously. Here, we translate this technology to the in vivo porcine stomach. Stomachs were surgically exposed and a fluorescent dye (di-4-ANEQ(F)PTEA) that transduces the membrane potential (<i>V</i>_m) was injected through the right gastroepiploic artery. Fluorescence was excited by LEDs and imaged with one or two 256 × 256 pixel cameras. Motion artifact was corrected using a marker-based motion-tracking method and excitation ratiometry, which cancels common-mode artifact. Tracking marker displacement also enabled gastric deformation to be measured. We validated detection of electrical activation and <i>V</i>_m morphology against alternative nonoptical technologies. Nonantegrade slow waves and propagation direction differences between the anterior and posterior stomach were commonly present in our data. However, sham experiments suggest they were a feature of the animal preparation and not an artifact of optical mapping. In experiments to demonstrate the method's capabilities, we found that repolarization did not always follow at a fixed time behind activation \"wavefronts,\" which could be a factor in dysrhythmia. Contraction strength and the latency between electrical activation and contraction differed between antegrade and nonantegrade propagation. In conclusion, optical electromechanical mapping, which simultaneously images electrical and mechanical activity, enables novel questions regarding normal and abnormal gastric physiology to be explored.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> This article introduces a novel method for imaging gastric electrophysiology and mechanical function simultaneously in anesthetized, open-abdomen pigs. We demonstrate it by observing propagating slow-wave depolarization and repolarization along with the strength, spatial distribution, and direction of contractions.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of continuous PN on ileal and hepatic expression of circadian regulatory (CR) genes, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling, and bile acid synthesis in mice. Wild-type mice were exposed to ad libitum Chow or continuous soy oil lipid emulsion-based PN infusion through a central venous catheter for 4 days (PN).

From tissue samples, the relative expression of circadian transcription factors and FXR signaling was assessed. Administration of 4-day PN increased hepatic injury, inflammatory cytokine expression, and gut permeability. In the ileum, PN activated FXR and induced expression of <i>Fgf15</i> and <i>Nr0b2</i>. In the liver, expression of FXR-downstream targets was dysregulated. PN administrations impacted hepatic and ileal circadian transcription factor mRNA expression, which was discordant between the two organs. Dysregulation of circadian regulatory machinery is in part due to discordance of the gut-liver axis during PN. Pharmacological targeting of CR as a therapeutic strategy for PNALD thus deserves further investigation.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> This study used a novel short-term model of parenteral nutrition (PN) that is translationally relevant.

GI symptoms represent some of the earliest manifestations of FD and significantly impact quality of life. The origin of these symptoms is complex, and the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we sought to determine whether lyso-Gb₃ contributes to the pathophysiology of GI symptoms associated with FD by examining its effects on mouse colonic ion transport and motility ex vivo using Ussing chambers and organ baths, respectively. Lyso-Gb₃ significantly increased colonic baseline short-circuit current (<i>I</i>_sc).
