Introduction Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is one of the most serious surgical conditions in paediatrics. Neonates may suffer necrotising enterocolitis (NJ% intussusception, midgut volvulus and strangulated intestinal hernia. The most common cause of morbidity and mortality in necrotising enterocolitis is multiple organ failure, especially involving the liver. It has been demonstr...

inflammatory bowel diseases (ibd) were systemic disorders involving many organ systems. besides intestinal manifestations, extra intestinal manifestations (eims) including neurologic complications have been reported among 6%-40% of ibd patients. ulcerative colitis (uc) was a subtype of ibd only affecting the colonic mucosa and sub mucosa. although the eims of uc could affect any organ system, c...

The intestinal barrier is formed by enterocyte membranes, tight junctions, secreted mucus, and immunologic factors, such as tissue macrophages. Dysfunction of this barrier can be caused by different types of stress (e.g., physiological, pathological, psychological, pharmacological) and can lead to increased intestinal permeability. Increased permeability to endotoxin, a component of the walls o...

Background. The diagnosis of intestinal malrotation is established by the age of 1 year in most cases, and the condition is seldom seen in adults. In this paper, a patient with small intestinal malrotation-type intraperitoneal hernia who underwent surgery at an older age because of intestinal obstruction is presented. Case. A 73-year-old patient who presented with acute intestinal obstruction u...

duodenitis-proximal jejunitis (dpj), also known as anterior or proximal enteritis is a clinical syndrome that is characterized by edema and inflammation of the duodenum and proximal jejunum, excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion into the small intestine and large volume of enterogastric reflux. in january 2003, a 15-year-old anglo arab stallion has been used for jumping and breeding, develo...

A case of intestinal emphysema localized to the caecum is reported together with an experiment to try and reproduce the condition in vitro.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). During intestinal I/R, the amount of nitric oxide (NO), which is a ROS, is increased. In this study, we examined the protection against I/R injury by inhibition of NO generation. Wistar/ST rats were exposed to 1 h of ischemia, followed by reperfusion for 4 h. The rats were intravenously injected with 100 mg/kg aminog...

AIM To investigate a suitable long-term culture system and optimal cryopreservation of intestinal organoid to improve organoid-based therapy by acquiring large numbers of cells. METHODS Crypts were isolated from jejunum of C57BL/6 mouse. Two hundred crypts were cultured in organoid medium with either epidermal growth factor/Noggin/R-spondin1 (ENR) or ENR/CHIR99021/VPA (ENR-CV). For subculture...

Background: IBD is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. Supplementation of yacon tubers has been known to give positive effect in intestinal health. Therefore, we conducted the study to investigate the effect of yacon tuber powder on Th1 activation pathway by evaluating IFN-γ levels and the number of goblet cells in the colon of colitis mous...
