The influence of various bile acids on the (Na+-K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activity of rat colon is described. At a concentration of 0.6 mmol/l C and TC did not inhibit the (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity in contrast to GC. The taurine derivates TC, TCDC and TDC did not influence or even enhanced the (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity. All bile acids except C, TC and CDC depressed the Mg2+-ATPase activity. At higher concentrations only C and TC did not influence the (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity. C, GC and TC at 2.5 mmol/l decreased the (Na+-K+)-activated phosphatase with ATP as substrate. All other substrates tested did not influence the enzymic activity significantly. The results indicate that bile acids can inhibit the Na+-absorbing system in rat colon. Hence this inhibition can cause diarrhea.

The hypothesis that colchicine and vinblastine, which are commonly used for therapeutic purposes and known to cause diarrhoea, decrease intestinal water transport by inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity was tested in rats. Net fluid transport by jejunal segments was measured four hours after intraperitoneal injection of either 0.15 M NaCl (0.5 ml/100 g), colchicine (0.5 mg/100 g b.w.), or vinblastine (1.0 mg/100 g b.w.). Colchicine and vinblastine decreased net fluid transport: 3.0 +/- 0.9 (SE) and 4.6 +/- 0.4 (SE) respectively, as compared to that transported by segments from rats injected with 0.15 M NaCl, 8.6 +/- 0.7 (SE) g fluid/hour/g. Methylprednisolone (3.0 mg/100 g b.w.) abolished the inhibitory effect of cholchicine and vinblastine on fluid transport. Colchicine and vinblastine were found to decrease significantly mucosal Na-K-ATPase activity, 18.2 +/- 4.9 (SE); 25.2 +/- 2.4 (SE) respectively, as compared to that measured in rats injected with saline 40.6 +/- 3.4 (SE) mumol/mg protein/hour. Pretreatment with methylprednisolone prevented the decrease in enzyme activity observed in rats injected with colchicine and vinblastine. The degree of inhibition in intestinal Na-K-ATPase activity was similar to that observed in fluid transport following colchicine and vinblastine. It is thus suggested that colchicine-induced inhibition of water transport is caused by inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity, an effect which can be prevented by pretreatment with methyl-prednisolone.

To understand mechanisms of viral diarrhea further, we studied ileal ion transport in vitro in relation to mucosal changes and epithelial differentiation in transmissible gastroenteritis in piglets, an invasive viral enteritis thought to involve mainly proximal intestine. In infected pigs, at the height of diarrhea, short-circuited ileal epithelium failed actively to transport Na+ and Cl-, and there was a defect of glucose-mediated Na+ transport. The Cl- secretory response to theophylline remained intact. Conductance measurements indicate that paracellular permeability may be reduced and transcellular transport may be altered. A mucosal lesion was observed at the time of the transport changes, characterized by villus blunting, crypt hyperplasia, and immature crypt-type enterocytes on the villus epithelium, deficient in disaccharidase and (Na+, K+)ATPase activity but rich in thymidine kinase. Consideration of the major determinants of diarrhea in this invasive enteritis must take into account not only altered mucosal function and differentiation but also the extent of intestinal involvement, including the ileum, a major site of fluid absorption in the intestine.

The hormone serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) has been implicated as the cause of the diarrhea seen in many patients with the carcinoid syndrome. To determine whether serotonin is an intestinal secretagogue, the effect of serotonin on intestinal water and electrolyte transport was evaluated in the rabbit. Two weeks of daily subcutaneous injection of serotonin suspended in oil resulted in a blood serotonin level elevated to twice that of controls. Intestinal transport was studied in vivo by a perfusion technique. Serotonin treatment resulted in ileal secretion and decreased mid-jejunal absorption of water and electrolytes but did not effect water absorption in the proximal jejunum or colon. Intestinal absorption of D-glucose and the amino acid L-tryptophan and glucose-dependent water and electrolyte absorption were normal in serotonin-treated animals. Serotonin-induced ileal secretion was reversed by methysergide, a peripheral antagonist of serotonin action. No alterations in intestinal histology or permeability occurred in serotonin-treated animals. Serotonin-induced intestinal secretion was not associated with alterations in the activities of intestinal mucosal adenylate cyclase, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, or Na-K-ATPase.

Infants and young children are particularly susceptible to a recently identified viral enteritis which is highly contagious and seems both common and universal. In this disease, virus invades the upper intestinal epithelium, causing acute diarrhoea with early fever and vomiting. We studied a similar disease in pigs, infecting three-week-old animals with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGE), which also invades the upper intestinal epithelium. In this model, diarrhoea is massive 16-40 hours after infection, when stools contain increased electrolytes but no excess of sugar. In the jejunum of intact pigs at the 40-hour stage we found altered Na+ and water flux, decreased mucosal activities of disaccharidases and Na+, K+-ATPase, but normal adenylate cyclase activity. At the same stage the response of Na+ flux to glucose was blunted in jejunal epithelium studied in Ussing short-circuit chambers and in suspensions of villous cells; Cl- flux responded normally to theophylline, and thymidine kinase and sucrase activities of cells isolated from jejunal villi were similar to those found in crypt cells. Probably by 40 hours after infection most virus has been shed from the mucosa. Viral diarrhoea clearly differs from enterotoxigenic diarrhoea. Consideration of its pathogenesis must take into account the dynamic nature of the mucosal epithelium and the factors governing differentiation of enterocytes as they migrate from crypt to villus. Sufficient information is available now to characterize one specific and apparently prevalent viral enteritis in man and to identify additional viral enteritides. There is hope that preventative therapy can be developed. Our understanding of the mechanisms of viral diarrhoea is limited, but the availability of an animal model and the promise of others makes us optimistic that these deficiencies can be remedied. Greater understanding of the pathogenesis of viral diarrhoea should better the active therapy of affected infants and children.

To clarify the kinetics of cell membrane and intracellular mediators in the process of auranofin (AF)-induced diarrhea, we perfused electrolyte solution containing the oral gold preparation AF, which is a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, through the rat jejunum, and studied net water and electrolyte transport, Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, and c-AMP and c-GMP concentrations in the jejunal mucosa. In addition, change in Ca+ concentration in isolated intestinal cells was evaluated using fura-2-acetoxyl-methyl ester. AF significantly suppressed water and electrolyte transport. Mucosal secretion was increased due to elevation of the intracellular Ca+ concentration early in the perfusion period, then due to reduction in the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, and increase in the c-AMP concentration late in the perfusion period. Therefore, these cell membranes and intracellular mediators are considered to be involved in the mechanism of AF-induced diarrhea.

Pantoprazole is a newly developed benzimidazole derivative with strong inhibitory actions on gastric acid secretion by blocking H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. This randomized double-blind multicenter trial investigated the efficacy of 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg pantoprazole o.m. on ulcer healing and symptomatic relief in 219 out-patients with endoscopically assessed acute duodenal ulcer. After 2 weeks complete ulcer healing was achieved in 58%, 89% and 82% of the patients with 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg pantoprazole o.m., respectively. After 4 weeks, corresponding figures were 93%, 99% and 100%; the difference of the healing rates between the 20 mg and 40 mg groups at 2 weeks was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). A rapid pain relief was achieved in all treatment groups: 72% of the 20 mg group, 89% of the 40 mg group, and 84% of the 80 mg group were pain-free after 2 weeks. The difference between 20 mg and 40 mg was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Pantoprazole was well tolerated. Adverse events occurred in 13 patients; headache, skin alterations, and diarrhea were reported most frequently. Severity and frequency of adverse events did not reveal any dose-dependence. In conclusion, pantoprazole provides fast healing of acute duodenal ulcer as well as rapid improvement of ulcer symptoms. For further clinical trials in peptic ulcer disease a daily dose of pantoprazole 40 mg o.m. is recommended.

The origin of the severe diarrhea appearing after intestinal denervation or transplantation was studied on the 3rd and 14th postoperative days in 5 groups of dogs undergoing total or partial denervation. The net movements of water and electrolytes were investigated by employing an experimental model of intestinal perfusion in isolated loops in vivo. The active uptake of phenylalanine and beta-methylglucoside and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity were used for in-vitro evaluation. Bacteriologic and histological specimens were also taken. Following total denervation with anastomosis, a considerable loss of water and electrolytes as well as numerous E. coli were found in the entire small intestine. This net secretion is due to the stagnation of bacteria in the presence of complete denervation and the absence of food since the animals in this group could not eat properly following general anesthesia and surgery. Consequently, peristalsis was not stimulated and bacterial overgrowth occurred. In the group denervation with pseudo-anastomosis, perfusion studies showed a decrease of absorption in the jejunum and minimal but significant secretion in the ileum. A high number of E. coli was also present. Since the mucosa remained intact, nutrition per os was resumed in the immediate postoperative period and excessive water and electrolyte loss was avoided. The high number of bacteria was due to a decrease in intestinal motility since complete denervation was performed. In the denervation group, water and electrolyte movements were identical to those observed in the preceding group but the entire intestine remained sterile.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The specific activity of Na, K-ATPase, localized in basolateral membranes of enterocytes, does not differ in adult cattle and healthy newborn animals (0.99 +/- 0.04 and 1.06 +/- 0.06 mumol Pi/mg of protein per 1 min), but in diarrheic new born animals--decreased to 0.2 +/- 0.03. The data obtained prove that the transporting ATPases play a fundamental role in disturbance of electrolyte balance under diarrhea.

Diarrhoea is a common gastrointestinal disorder which is a state of fluid and ion loss from the gut. Cauvery-100, an Ayurvedic formulation has been used in this study for the treatment of diarrhoea. Diarrhoea was induced in experimental rats by oral administration of castor oil. The increased gastrointestinal motility in diarrhoea was brought back to near normal levels on the treatment of Cauvery-100. The activities of the enzymes alkaline phosphatase, total ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase were decreased in the diarrhoeal group and was brought back to near normal levels in the treated group. The serum levels of sodium and potassium were decreased in the diarrhoeal group and brought back to normal levels in the treated group. Prior treatment of the drug Cauvery-100 did not induce diarrhoea on administration of castor oil, suggesting the protective influence of the drug on the gastrointestinal tract.
