Background: Dysbiosis of gut microbiota (GM) is intricately linked with cognitive impairment and the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in both animal models and human subjects. However, there is limited understanding of the impact and mechanisms of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on brain and gut barrier function in the treatment of TBI induced by gas explosion (GE).
Methods: We have employed FMT technology to establish models of gut microbiota dysbiosis in male rats, and subsequently conducted non-targeted metabolomics and microbiota diversity analysis to explore the bacteria with potential functional roles.

Background And Aims: Colorectal gas explosion (CGE) is an exceptional but potentially fatal complication of digestive endoscopy or surgery. The role played by bowel preparations and endoscopic or surgical devices in the risk of CGE is still unclear. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify risk factors for CGE.

Systemic vasodilating agents like nitroglycerin (NG) or iloprost (Ilo) show beneficial effects on intestinal microcirculation during sepsis, which could be attenuated by activation of the sympathetic nervous system or systemic side effects of vasodilating agents. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the effects of topically administered vasodilators and the parasympathetic drug carbachol on colonic microcirculatory oxygenation (µHbO), blood flow (µFlow) and mitochondrial respiration. A total of 120 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to twelve groups and underwent either colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) or sham surgery.

Although the NOM approach is widely used for stab wounds, its effectiveness in managing abdominal gunshot wounds is controversial. NOM of penetrating abdominal injuries is becoming more dependent on hemodynamic stability and improved noninvasive radiological interventions.

Introduction And Importance: Traumatic diaphragmatic ruptures following blast injury or penetrating trauma rarely present themselves with chronic symptoms warranting elective surgery.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 49-year-old man who survived a grenade explosion and experienced chronic chest pain. Considering the previous trauma, computed tomography imaging was performed and showed a left-sided traumatic diaphragmatic rupture ventral to the spleen, resulting in herniation of the transverse colon and omentum in the thoracic cavity.
