To assess potential mediators of adaptive bowel growth, ileal proglucagon messenger RNA (mRNA) ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA, plasma enteroglucagons, and plasma glucagonlike peptide I (GLP-I) were analyzed in rats soon after jejunoileal resection or control transection. Analyses were performed before and after refeeding to establish whether responses are nutrient dependent. The elevation of ileal proglucagon and ODC mRNAs within 12 hours after resection and before refeeding shows a nutrient-independent component of the adaptive response. The onset of adaptive growth of the ileum required luminal nutrient but occurred very rapidly, within 4 hours of refeeding. The onset of adaptive growth was accompanied by transient elevation of ileal ODC mRNAs. Ileal proglucagon mRNA and plasma GLP-I levels were also elevated, and these increases were sustained up to 8 days after resection. These early and sustained increases in proglucagon mRNA and plasma GLP-I indicate that in addition to the enteroglucagons, other intestinal proglucagon-derived peptides must be considered as potential mediators of adaptive growth after jejunoileal resection.

Unlabelled: Transmesenteric hernia is an internal hernia without a sac caused by a congenital defect of the mesentery. It is a rare cause of intestinal atresia, usually diagnosed intraoperatively, therefore, its prognosis is variable and may be associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To report a case of transmesenteric hernia with multiple intestinal atresia of late diagnosis.

Small bowel diverticulosis can occur anywhere in the small bowel but is most common in the duodenum. Jejunoileal diverticulosis is much less common and tends to have a more chronic, nonspecific disease course. In the literature, this condition has a higher incidence in men in their sixth and seventh decades of life.

Aim: The study objective was to evaluate the primary feasibility of endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) via balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) to treat small bowel subepithelial lesions (SELs).

Method: A retrospective case series study was performed. The first fifteen consecutive patients who underwent ESD (n = 10) and EFTR (n = 5) via BAE to remove small bowel SELs from November 2016 to December 2023 were included.

Introduction And Importance: Type 1 jejunoileal atresia with multiple webs is a rare congenital condition that poses significant surgical challenges in neonates. Understanding the unique presentation and management strategies in such cases is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Case Presentation: We report two cases involving full-term neonates presenting with severe abdominal distension and bilious vomiting.

By introducing the healing of many distinctive anastomoses by BPC 157 therapy, this review practically deals with the concept of the resection and reconnection of the hollow parts of the gastrointestinal tract as one of the cornerstones of visceral surgery. In principle, the healing of quite distinctive anastomoses itself speaks for applied BPC 157 therapy, in particular, as a way in which the therapy of anastomoses can be successfully approached and carried out. Some of the anastomoses implicated were esophagogastric, colocolonic, jejunoileal, and ileoileal anastomoses, along with concomitant disturbances, such as esophagitis, sphincter dysfunction, failed intestinal adaptation, colitis, short bowel syndrome, major vessel occlusion, NO-system, and prostaglandins-system dysfunction, which were accordingly counteracted as well, and, finally, findings concerning other anastomoses healing (i.
