AI Article Synopsis
- Exclusive jejunal and ileal lesions from blunt trauma are rare but can be life-threatening and often go undiagnosed.
- The small intestine is more commonly injured in penetrating injuries, making isolated injuries from blunt trauma particularly challenging to identify.
- This study focuses on the prognosis of patients with these injuries, emphasizing the crucial role of timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention in improving outcomes.
Article Abstract
The exclusive jejunal and ileal lesion due to blunt trauma is a rare and potentially lethal condition. The small intestine is the most damaged organ in penetrating abdominal injuries, although its isolated injury in blunt abdominal trauma is rare and difficult to diagnosed. There are no characteristic signs nor symptoms in the exclusive jejunal and ileal lesions due to abdominal contusions which result in high morbidity and mortality rates since a late diagnosis is done despite advanced auxiliary diagnostic methods available. Considering these facts, the aim of the present work is to study the prognosis of patients suffering from this type of injury due to abdominal trauma, taking into consideration the time elapsed between the trauma and its diagnosis and the importance of its early surgical correction.

Feeding jejunostomy is a simple and common procedure used to provide enteral nutrition. Acute intestinal intussusception on a jejunostomy tube is a rare complication that can have catastrophic consequences and often requires urgent surgical intervention. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with a stenosing hypopharyngeal tumor leading to complete aphagia.

Department of Pathology, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.
Apart from the lethal midline carcinoma (NUT carcinoma), NUTM1 translocation has also been reported in mesenchymal tumors, but is exceedingly rare. Here, we describe a series of 8 NUTM1 -rearranged sarcomas to further characterize the clinicopathologic features of this emerging entity. This cohort included 2 males and 6 females with age ranging from 24 to 64 years (mean: 51 y; median: 56 y).

Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) has been suggested as a contributing factor behind increased intestinal permeability in obesity, leading to increased plasma levels of microbial endotoxins and, thereby, increased systemic inflammation. We and others have shown that HFD can induce jejunal expression of the ketogenic rate-limiting enzyme mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (HMGCS). HMGCS is activated via the free fatty acid binding nuclear receptor PPAR-α, and it is a key enzyme in ketone body synthesis that was earlier believed to be expressed exclusively in the liver.
