Core Tip
Core Tip: The long-term outcomes of numerous treatments for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) are now unsatisfactory. The reason is a lack of knowledge about ODS’s molecular abnormalities. Our study indicated a connection between the pathophysiology of ODS and reduced dystrophin expression. The overexpression of nucleoporin protein 153 and L-type voltage-gated calcium channel was triggered by the downregulation of dystrophin, which caused a significant flow of calcium ions into the intestinal smooth muscle cells. Overabundance of calcium ion inflow may reduce muscle contractility, which manifested as weakened rectal propulsion in ODS.
