Background: Postoperative ileus is a poorly understood surgical problem characterized by leukocyte extravasation into the intestinal muscularis and suppression in muscle function. The study objective was to delineate a mechanistic inflammatory cascade initiated by intestinal manipulation.
Methods: ACI and Sprague-Dawley rats, and IL-6 +/+ and IL-6 -/- mice were subjected to intestinal manipulation. One group of rats received adhesion molecule-blocking antibodies (1A29 and WT.3) before intestinal manipulation. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels and electrophoretic mobility shift assay for signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) activation were measured in tissue extracts. IL-6 protein levels were assessed by immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: IL-6 mRNA from muscularis extracts demonstrated a significant induction after intestinal manipulation. No IL-6 induction was observed in mucosal extracts. Adhesion molecule blockade resulted in a marked decrease of cellular infiltration but did not change IL-6 mRNA expression in muscularis extracts. Resident macrophages in the muscularis stained for IL-6 by immunohistochemistry after intestinal manipulation. The isolated manipulated muscularis demonstrated a significant increase in IL-6 release. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay of manipulated muscularis showed a marked increase in IL-6-dependent Stat3 activation.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that manipulation of the small bowel during an abdominal operation initiates downstream induction, translation, release, and functional activity of IL-6 within the muscularis.

Microbiota-derived proteins synergize with IL-23 to drive IL22 production in model type 3 innate lymphoid cells.

Microbiota-induced production of IL-22 by type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) plays an important role in maintaining intestinal health. Such IL-22 production is driven, in part, by IL-23 produced by gut myeloid cells that have sensed select microbial-derived mediators. The extent to which ILC3 can directly respond to microbial metabolites via IL-22 production is less clear, in part due to the difficulty of isolating and maintaining sufficient numbers of viable ILC3 ex vivo.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe a surgical technique of intestinal foreign body retrieval without gastrotomy using an endoscopic grasper and digital manipulation, and to compare short-term outcomes with patients who had similar obstructive intestinal foreign bodies removed via gastrotomy.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of dogs and cats with intestinal foreign bodies that underwent treatment with either the orogastric retrieval technique or gastrotomy between November 2021 and July 2023 were extracted. A comparison of the short-term outcomes was performed between the techniques.

Acute enteritis, an intestinal disease with intestinal inflammation and injury as the main pathological manifestations. Inhibiting the inflammatory response is critical to the treatment of acute enteritis. Previous studies have shown that the Hippophae rhamnoides polysaccharide (HRP) has strong immune-enhancing effects.

Within mammalian cells, diverse endocytic mechanisms, including phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis, serve as gateways exploited by many bacterial pathogens and toxins. Among these, caveolae-mediated endocytosis is characterized by lipid-rich caveolae and dimeric caveolin proteins. Caveolae are specialized microdomains on cell surfaces that impact cell signaling.

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) have gained attention for their capacity to regulate human health as prebiotics. Osteosarcopenia is a progressive disease of the musculoskeletal system and result in heavy burden of patients. Studies suggest that gut microbiota is involved in the pathogenesis of osteosarcopenia, whether AOS can improve the symptoms of osteosarcopenia by modulating gut microbiota remains to be elucidated.
