Diarrhea in colitis is believed to result in part from BA malabsorption (BAM). The work aimed to investigate whether diarrhea in colitis was associated with the expression of BA transporters, enzymes and nuclear receptors. RT-qPCR and Western blot techniques were used to evaluate the gene and protein levels of Cyp7a1, Asbt, SHP, FXR, Ostβ in a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced rat model of colitis. The total bile acids (TBAs) levels were assayed using ELISA kits, and the individual BAs were measured by LC-MS/MS. Results showed that the fecal excretions of TBAs were significantly increased by 1.6-fold in acute stage of colitis. In ileum, Asbt was significantly decreased, however, Cyp7a1 level in liver wasDraft compensatory increased. Moreover, FXR has a decreased tendency and the downstream target gene SHP was downregulated. Contrary to acute stage, molecular changes were completely reversible during the remission phase. Our results indicated that the expression of Asbt and Cyp7a1 were altered in acute of colitis, which performed vital roles in maintaining BAs homeostasis. Early medical manipulation of BA transporters and enzymes may help prevent diarrhea.

The incidence of IBD is increasing each year, while the 5 etiopathogenesis is still not fully understood (Burisch et al. 2013). IBD usually leads to 6 severe complications including pain, fatigue and weight loss. Persistent chronic diarrhea 7 is regarded as the more frequently complications even after the infection and associated 8 inflammation resolves. Prior observational studies have suggested a link between fluid 9 and ion transport and chronic diarrhea (Kalia N et al. 2007; Wenzl et al. 2012). A 10 common but frequently under investigated cause of chronic diarrhea is bile acid 11 malabsorption (BAM), resulting from dysregulation of the enterohepatic recycling of bile 12 acids and of bile acid production (VítekDraft et al. 2015; Camilleri et al. 2009). 13 14 Bile acids are amphiphilic molecules synthesized from cholesterol and play important 15 roles in lipid digestion and absorption (Cao et al. 2017; Sara Balesariaa 2008; 16 Vijayvargiya et al. 2013). BA homeostasis is controlled by an elaborate network of 17 nuclear receptors (NRs), enzymes and transporters (Camilleri et al. 2015). Cholesterol 18 7a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid synthesis in liver. 19 CYP7A1 could be down-regulated by small heterodimerizing partner (SHP) in the liver 20 (Jahnel et al. 2014; Li et al. 2004; Cao and Xu 2017). Farnesoid X receptor (FXR; 21 NR1H4), a transcriptional regulator of numerous genes involved in maintaining bile acid 22 homeostasis, plays important roles in maintaining bile acid pool size (Cariello et al. 2017; 23 Cheng et al. 2015). Specifically, FXR induces the expression of SHP in the liver, which 24 will in turn inhibit gene transcription of CYP7A1 (Kong et al. 2012). In the hepatocytes, 25 Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) and the organic anion transporting 26 polypeptides (OATPs) are transporters expressed in hepatic cell membrane responsible 27 for the BAs uptake. After binding to a cytosolic bile acid binding protein, BAs are https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjpp-pubs Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology Page 6 of 37 Manuscript 28 secreted into the bile by the bile salt export pump (BSEP) and multidrug-resistance 29 protein 2 (MRP2)(Cheng et al. 2017; He et al. 2011). Bile acids are then delivered to the 30 intestinal lumen through bile ducts, about 95% of the BAs are absorbed by the apical 31 sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT; gene symbol Slc10a2) and secreted into 32 the portal circulation by the basolateral organic solute transporter alpha/beta (Ostα/β) 33 heterodimer. ASBT mediates the initial uptake of bile acids across the ileal enterocyte 34 apical brush border membrane (Xiao et al. 2017) and performs an essential role in 35 maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. It was reported that loss-of-function mutations 36 in the ASBT gene was one cause of congenital form of BAM (Montagnani et al. 2001). 37 Down-regulation of ileal Asbt in mice was associated with irinotecan-induced BAM (Shi 38 et al. 2017). Therefore, those transporters and receptors played vital roles in maintaining 39 a balance between bile acid synthesis,Draft secretion and intestinal reabsorption. 40 41 In the normal physiological state, enterohepatic circulation was responsible for bile acid 42 homeostasis. However, under certain pathophysiological conditions, this homeostasis was 43 disturbed, resulting in BAM in ileum (Silvennoinen et al. 2015). Multiple studies 44 confirmed BAM was a common cause of diarrhea that occurs in a number of different 45 clinical contexts, including Crohn’s disease, post-infectious diarrhea, postgastrectomy 46 syndrome (Jahnel et al. 2014; Lenicek et al. 2011; Sara Balesariaa 2008). However, the 47 key BA transporters participating in diarrhea in colitis were not fully elucidated. Based 48 on above evidence, we investigate whether diarrhea in colitis rats has correlation with the 49 altered expression of BA transporters. In this present study, we performed comprehensive 50 analytical and biochemical studies to clarify the correlation between BAM and chronic 51 diarrhea in colitis rats. Moreover, the gene and protein levels of Cyp7a1, Asbt, FXR, SHP 52 and Ostα/β were also evaluated to clarify the underlying mechanism of diarrhea in colitis. 53 54 Materials and methods https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjpp-pubs Page 7 of 37 Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology Manuscript 55 Materials 56 Taurocholate (TCA), taurochenodeoxycholate (TDCA), lithocholic acid (LCA), 57 glycocholate

The mono-window algorithm is used to remove the influence of the atmosphere. The land surface thermal radiation intensity is obtained by the mono-window algorithm. Then the land surface true temperature is converted by the land surface thermal radiation intensity. At the same time, the remote sensing images of Taiyuan city in three time periods are classified by supervised classification method. Finally, the relationship between different years of Taiyuan land surface temperature and land use change is analysed. The results show that Taiyuan city land surface temperature is positively correlated with land use. The land surface temperature is higher when the land is frequently used. Taiyuan city land surface temperature is negatively correlated with vegetation coverage. The land surface temperature is lower when the higher vegetation is covered in the area. 1 Introduction north south, East and west across 114km, north-south span is about 107KM.

The aim of this study was to provide a basis for exploring the prevention and treatment of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan. Methods: A voluntary online questionnaire was used to investigate adult female in the community and surround- ing townships of Taiyuan. Most of the questionnaires refer to the International Consultation on Incontinence Ques- tionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, and adapt to the specifc circumstances of the region. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22.0). Results: A total of 4004 eligible questionnaires were obtained. The prevalence of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan was 33.5%. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that place of residence, smoking, body mass index, diet, number of deliveries, mode of delivery, dystocia, menopause, oral contraceptives, urinary tract infec- tion, making the bladder empty faster by pushing down and holding urine were risk factors for adult female stress urinary incontinence in Taiyuan. Conclusion: The prevalence of SUI in adult female in Taiyuan was high, and based on risk factors identifed in this sur- vey, population-level intervention strategies should be developed for the prevention and treatment of adult female SUI in Taiyuan.

  • Metropolitan Fusion Or Folly the Creation of a Multiple-Nodal
    Metropolitan Fusion or Folly The Creation of A Multiple-Nodal Metropolis in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China by Sarah-Laura Dolins A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Urban and Environmental Planning Approved November 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Douglas Webster, Chair Jianming Cai Aaron Golub ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2014 ABSTRACT Targeted growth is necessary for sustainable urbanization. There is a pattern in China of rapid development due to inflated projections. This creates “ghost towns” and underutilized urban services that don't support the population. In the case of Taiyuan, this industrial third-tier city of 4.2 million people. A majority of the newer residential services and high-end commercial areas are on the older, eastern side of the city. Since 2007, major urban investments have been made in developing the corridor that leads to the airport, including building a massive hospital, a new sports stadium, and "University City". The intention of the city officials is to encourage a new image of Taiyuan- one that is a tourist destination, one that has a high standard of living for residents. However, the consequences of these major developments might be immense, because of the required shift of community, residents and capital that would be required to sustain these new areas. Much of the new development lacks the reliable and frequent public transit of the more established downtown areas. Do these investments in medical complexes, sports stadiums and massive shopping
