Free intestinal autograft has been recommended for oesophageal reconstruction following total circular pharyngolaryngectomy for cancer. Coloplasty or gastroplasty are commonly used for reconstruction of cervical and thoracic oesophagus. Necrosis of the plasty or anastomotic leakage can occur and may require the resection or reintegration of the pedicled graft into the abdominal cavity. For later reconstruction another pedicled graft may not be feasible and interposition of a free intestinal autograft can be a helpful method. The authors report a case of successful reconstruction of the cervical and thoracic oesophagus by a free ileal autograft, after the initial failure of a right coloplasty in a patient with previous gastrectomy. The free ileal autograft was interposed between the cervical oesophagus and the previous coloplasty repositioned in the lower part of the anterior mediastinum. The vessels of the graft were implanted onto the left common carotid artery and the innominate venous confluent.

U-shaped relationship between serum uric acid and gastric cancer risk: a large prospective cohort study.
Front Oncol
December 2024
The First Clinical Medical School, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.
Objective: We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study with 475659 cancer-free participants from the UK Biobank. All subjects were grouped into quartiles, and we used a Cox proportional hazards model to analyze the association between SUA levels and the risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer and explore the potential sex-specific relationship.
Effect of dietary supplementation of Lawsonia inermis and Acacia nilotica extract on growth performance, intestinal histopathology, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis.

Avian coccidiosis is one of the many disorders that seriously harm birds' digestive systems. Nowadays the light is shed on using Phytochemical/herbal medicines as alternative natural anti-coccidial chemical-free standards. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the impact of lawsonia inermis powder (LIP), and Acacia nilotica aqueous extract (ANAE), on growth performance, serum biochemical, antioxidant status, cytokine biomarkers, total oocyst count and intestinal histopathology of broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis.

Here, we report that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in milk mediate the communication between bacteria and animal kingdoms, increase the divergence of bacteria in the intestine, and alter metabolite production by bacteria. We show that bovine milk sEVs select approximately 55,000 genomic variants in 19 species of bacteria from the murine cecum . The genomic variants are transcribed into mRNA.

Alcohol abuse can lead to significant cardiac injury, resulting in Alcoholic heart disease (AHD). The interplay between cardiac health and gut microbiota composition in the context of alcohol consumption is not well understood. Shen Song Yang Xin (SSYX) capsule and amiodarone are common drugs used to treat alcoholic heart disease, but little is known about their microbial regulatory mechanisms in alcoholic heart disease.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.
