Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare condition with poor prognosis. Like colorectal cancer, small bowel carcinoma may be a part of genetic syndromes with carcinogenetic pathways different from sporadic forms. We report a case of 41-year-old man with small bowel carcinoma revealing hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. This report supports the systematic study of the MSI status in every patient with a small bowel carcinoma below 60-year-old of age in order to screen for HNPCC syndrome even in the absence of a family history of related cancers.

The utilization of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) as nanocarriers for oral delivery of bioactives has garnered significant attention. However, their distinctive lipid membrane composition may result in elevated membrane permeability within the gastrointestinal environment, leading to the leakage of carried bioactives. Inspired by the concept of projectile design, Tartary buckwheat-derived ELNs (TB-ELNs) based dual-carriers are fabricated by loading chlorogenic acid (CGA) into the cores and bonding selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to the lipid membrane.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC) are lifelong chronic, relapsing and remitting conditions that culminate in disease progression in many patients. Effective management of CD and UC requires consideration of both short and long-term treatment outcomes. Historically, short-term outcomes such as clinical and endoscopic remission and symptom relief have been evaluated in clinical trials.

Background/objectives: Previously, we found that caloric restriction (CR) in mice increases taurine levels by stimulating hepatic synthesis, secretion into the intestine and deconjugation of taurine-conjugated bile acids (BA). Subsequently, in the intestine, taurine conjugates various molecules, including glutathione (GSH). The current study explores the mechanisms behind forming taurine-GSH conjugate and its consequences for taurine, other taurine conjugates, and BA in order to improve understanding of their role in CR.

Obesity is associated with numerous metabolic complications including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and a reduced capacity for physical activity. Whole-body ablation of liver fatty acid-binding protein (LFABP) in mice was shown to alleviate several of these metabolic complications; high-fat (HF)-fed LFABP knockout (LFABP) mice developed higher fat mass than their wild-type (WT) counterparts but displayed a metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype with normoglycemia, normoinsulinemia, and reduced hepatic steatosis compared with WT. Since LFABP is expressed in both liver and intestine, in the present study, we generated LFABP conditional knockout (cKO) mice to determine the contributions of LFABP specifically within the liver or within the intestine, to the whole-body phenotype of the global knockout.

Intestinal fungi, collectively referred to as mycobiota, constitute a small (0.01-2%) but crucial component of the overall intestinal microbiota. While fungi are far less abundant than bacteria in the gut, the volume of an average fungal cell is roughly 100-fold greater than that of an average bacterial cell.
