We herein report a neonatal case showing specific findings of blood perfusion in the anastomosed esophagus of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during thoracoscopic surgery. The patient was a 3054 g, 0-day neonatal boy diagnosed with EA-TEF based on a coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed on Day 4 after birth.

- This study looked at how clodronate, which affects vesicular nucleotide transport, impacts liver inflammation linked to intestinal failure in rats with short bowel syndrome.
- The researchers used a rat model that involved feeding them through a vein and surgically removing most of their small intestine, then giving them different doses of clodronate.
- Results showed that high doses of clodronate reduced liver fat and inflammation in the rats, suggesting potential benefits for patients with similar conditions related to intestinal failure.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on colonic morphology and gut microbiota in a rat model of short bowel syndrome (SBS).
Methods: SD rats underwent jugular vein catheterization for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and 90% small bowel resection [TPN + SBS (control group) or TPN + SBS + intravenous HGF (0.3 mg/kg/day, HGF group)].
