Background And Objective: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and D-lactate measurements in the early diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia.
Methods: A total of 272 patients with a clinical diagnosis of acute abdomen were recruited for this trial over a 24-month period, and 37 healthy people were included in the study as controls. Serum I-FABP and D-lactate levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and compared in patients with intestinal ischemia vs. non-intestinal ischemia.
Results: Of the 272 patients, 39 were diagnosed with intestinal ischemia and 233 were diagnosed with other cause of acute abdomen. The mean serum I-FABP and D-lactate levels in the patients with intestinal ischemia were 149.74±57.81ng/mL and 52.73±26.46 ug/mL, respectively, and were significantly higher compared with patients with non-intestinal ischemia (36.78±11.25ng/mL and 15.58±5.17 ug/mL, respectively) and with levels in the healthy control group (8.33±6.25 ng/mL and 5.47±1.64 ug/mL, respectively). Area under the curve for I-FABP and D-lactate were 0.85 and 0.69, and cut-off values of 93.07 ng/mL and 34.28 ug/mL, respectively.
Conclusion: Serum I-FABP and D-lactate can improve the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia in patients with acute abdomen who are at risk.

This paper explored the protective effect and potential mechanism of Shouhui Tongbian Capsules(SHTB) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat models. Rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group, model group, low-dose SHTB group(0.2 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), high-dose SHTB group(SHTB g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and an edaravone positive drug group(5.

A rare autopsy case of malignant transcription factor E3 (TFE3)-rearranged perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa)-like neoplasm is presented. An 84-year-old woman manifested multiple cerebral infarctions and repetitive embolic events in the supra mesenchymal artery (SMA), and the presence of a mobile mass in the heart's left ventricle was also revealed. Tumoral lesions were also found in a pelvic space and a right pleural cavity, and a biopsy was performed from one of the disseminated tumor masses in the right pleura.

The duodenal diverticulum is a relatively frequent entity whose diagnosis has been increased over time with the development of new diagnostic and exploratory techniques. Periampullary diverticula (PAD) were classified as type 1, 2, or 3 according to the position of the major papilla from the endoscopic view: type 1, the major papilla was located inside of the diverticula; type 2, the major papilla was located at the edge of the diverticula; type 3, the major papilla was located outside of the diverticula. Complications of duodenal diverticula include ulceration, bleeding, perforation and inflammation with intestinal obstruction.

Elevated inflammatory markers on blood tests and emergent computed tomography led to a diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia, and the patient passed away 7 h later. Skin mottling indicates decreased blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract and is observed during mesenteric ischemia.

Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
