Two mechanisms of membrane digestion: enzymatic-transport ensemble exists for oligopeptides as well by S. T. Metelsky, V. T. Ivashkin

“…To determine, which mechanism of dipeptide transport is realized under experimental conditions: PEPT1-mediated transport of the intact dipeptides or transport of the amino acid formed as a result of membrane hydrolysis of dipeptides through transport systems for free amino acid.Material and methods. Amplitudes of short circuit current (SCC) response reflecting rate of Na+-dependent absorbtion of nutrients on addition of dipeptides and amino acids to washing solution at different pH were registered in isolated fragments of the small intestine of rats. …”

The 2011 WPATH Standards of Care and Penile Reconstruction in Female-to-Male Transsexual Individuals by Gennaro Selvaggi, Cecilia Dhejne, Mikael Landen, Anna Elander

“…Depending by an individual’s goals and expectations, the most appropriate surgical technique should be performed: the clinic performing penile reconstruction should be able to offer the whole range of techniques, such as: metoidioplasty, pedicle and free flaps phalloplasty procedures. The goals that physicians and health care institutions should achieve in the next years, in order to improve the care of female-to-male persons, consist in: informing in details the individuals applying for penile reconstruction about all the implications; referring specific individuals to centers capable to deliver a particular surgical technique; implementing the surgery with the most updated refinements.…”
