An incompetent pylorus allows reflux from the duodenum back into the stomach, and if the amount of reflux is large enough, it could alter the low-pH environment of the stomach and erode the mucosal lining of the lumen. In some cases, the regurgitated contents can also reach the esophagus, leading to additional complications. In this work, \"StomachSim\", an in silico model of the fluid dynamics of the stomach, is used to study the mechanism of duodenogastric reflux. The effects of variations in food properties and motility disorders on reflux are investigated. The simulations show that the primary driver of reflux is the relaxation of the antrum after a stomach contraction terminates near the pylorus. The region of the stomach walls exposed to the regurgitated contents depends significantly on the density of the stomach contents. For stomach contents of higher viscosity, the increased pressure required to maintain gastric emptying reduces the amount of duodenogastric reflux. Concomitant stomach motility disorders that weaken the relaxation of the walls also affect the amount of reflux. The study illustrates the utility of in silico models in analyzing the factors at play in gastrointestinal diseases.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> An in silico model of the stomach is presented to study the phenomenon of duodenogastric reflux.

Research highlighting the pathogenesis and especially the therapeutic aspect remains limited. Aberrant activation of developmental pathways in adults has been implicated in several diseases.

The aim of this study is to explore the role of the hedgehog pathway in the progression of CP and evaluate its inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy against CP. CP was induced in mice by repeated injections of l-arginine or caerulein in two separate models. Mice were administered with the FDA-approved pharmacological hedgehog pathway inhibitor, vismodegib during or after establishing the disease condition to inhibit hedgehog signaling. Various parameters of CP were analyzed to determine the effect of hedgehog pathway inhibition on the severity and progression of the disease. Our study shows that hedgehog signaling was overactivated during CP and its inhibition was effective in improving the histopathological parameters associated with CP. Vismodegib administration not only halted the progression of CP but was also able to resolve already-established fibrosis. In addition, inhibition of hedgehog signaling resulted in the reversal of pancreatic stellate cell activation ex vivo. Findings from our study justify conducting clinical trials using vismodegib against CP and, thus, could lead to the development of a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of CP.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Hedgehog signaling is activated in human and experimental models of CP.

Here, we studied the impact of the combination of exercise training and a fiber-rich diet on the amelioration of MASLD. Male APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice were fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet with or without the addition of fiber (10% inulin) and exercise trained on a treadmill, or remained sedentary.

Exercise training with and without the addition of fiber had a similar ameliorating effect on the MASLD score. Only exercise without fiber decreased the hepatic expression of inflammatory markers.

To investigate bile acid and metabolic parameters after UDCA treatment, we enrolled 12 ICP patients with singleton pregnancies-half with and half without gestational diabetes-and 7 controls. Our study reveals that after UDCA treatment, notwithstanding a reduction in total bile acid and alanine aminotransferase levels, imbalances persist in the cholic acid (CA) to chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) ratio in maternal and cord blood plasma. This indicates a continued dysregulation of bile acid metabolism despite therapeutic intervention. Maternal plasma lipid analysis showed a distinct maternal dyslipidemia pattern among patients with ICP, marked by elevated cholesterol levels on VLDL particles and heightened triglyceride concentrations on LDL particles, persisting even after UDCA treatment. Cord plasma lipid profiles in patients with ICP exhibited elevated triglyceride and free fatty acid levels alongside a tendency toward increased β-hydroxybutyrate. The changes in lipid metabolism in both maternal and cord blood correlated with the high CA/CDCA ratio but not total bile acid levels or gestational diabetes status.
