Background: Active matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) disruption of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in inflammatory disorders. In this study, we investigated the inflammatory role of MMP-9 and the ECM breakdown product hyaluronan as a trigger for the postoperative intestinal inflammatory response of postoperative ileus.
Methods: We performed a standardized intestinal surgical manipulation on rats to produce ileus assessed by the oral non-digestible fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran transit assay. We studied isolated intestinal muscularis extracts for mRNA expressions of interleukin 6 (IL-6), MMP-9 and CD44. We quantified peritoneal MMP-9 activity using zymography, and quantified peritoneal fluid and serum for hyaluronan and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We cultured peritoneal macrophages and exposed them to peritoneal fluid or synthetic hyaluronan for ELISA analysis of IL-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α.
Results: Transit was significantly delayed after surgical manipulation, and extracts of the isolated jejunal and colonic muscularis demonstrated a significant induction of IL-6, MMP-9, and CD44 mRNAs compared with controls. Zymography confirmed significant MMP-9 activity in peritoneal fluid compared with controls. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measurements showed a significant up-regulation in hyaluronan and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 in the peritoneal fluid and serum. In addition, ELISA and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction measurements of peritoneal macrophages stimulated with postsurgical peritoneal fluid and synthetic hyaluronan resulted in higher expressions of IL-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α in the macrophage supernatant.
Conclusions: Our results confirm that MMP-9 disruption in the ECM with hyaluronan release and muscularis CD44 receptor induction has the potential to trigger muscularis proinflammatory cascades that cause postoperative ileus. Matrix metallopeptidase 9 inhibition may be a novel therapeutic approach to limit postoperative ileus.

Introduction-Aim: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common complication in cirrhotic patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. The aim of this study is to determine the epidemiological and bacteriological profile of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, as well as antibiotic resistance among hospitalized patients at CHU Mohammed VI, in order to guide empirical antibiotic choices for better management. Methods: This is a prospective study conducted over a period of 12 months, from January to December 2023, focusing on all requests for bacteriological examination of ascitic fluid samples.

Introduction: Despite treatment with antibiotic therapy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) accounts for approximately 20-40% mortality in hospitalized patients. The data is scarce regarding mortality predictors in SBP. Recently, multiple factors have been studied for effectiveness in prognosis prediction in SBP.

Peritoneopericardial leakage is a rare but important complication of peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal scintigraphy is reported to be effective in diagnosing the peritoneopericardial communication. Although switching to hemodialysis is commonly recommended, reducing exchange volumes and performing peritoneal dialysis in an upright sitting position may also be considered particularly in pediatric patients.

Neutrophil characteristics in peritoneal fluid (PF) may aid in diagnosing and treating specific colic lesions and complications. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate quantitative PF leukocyte values, as well as PF total protein (TP) and lactate, for associations with diagnosis, morbidity, and mortality in horses with acute colic. Three hundred and forty-two horses that presented to one institution between January 2010-2020 for the evaluation of acute colic were included.

Introduction: The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) has gained acceptance and has led to literature validating original concepts and suggesting refinements. In preparation for the second edition of TIS, editors generated a survey to solicit experience with and opinions about TIS.
Materials And Methods: An online survey available from March 8 to June 15, 2024, included 56 questions, offered in 7 languages, related to the practice of serous fluid cytopathology.
