In this letter, we commented on the article by Wu . We examined the interactions between mesenteric adipose tissue, creeping fat, and gut microbiota in Crohn's disease (CD), a condition marked by chronic gastrointestinal inflammation with a rising global incidence. The pathogenesis of CD involves complex genetic, environmental, and microbial factors.

Background Computed tomography (CT) scans play a crucial role in emergency surgical care, serving both diagnostic and prognostic functions. They significantly contribute to timely and effective patient care. This study aims to compare abdominal CT scan reports prepared by locally employed radiologists with those from outsourced radiology reporting services for patients presenting with acute surgical conditions.

Background: Neonatal appendicitis is a rare but critical condition that presents diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific symptoms and clinical manifestations. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for reducing the high mortality rates associated with this condition. Abdominal ultrasonography plays a pivotal role in identifying characteristic signs of appendicitis in neonates.

Hyperplasia of mesenteric tissues in Crohn's disease, called creeping fat (CrF), is associated with surgical recurrence. Although microbiota translocation and colonization have been found in CrF, convincing mouse phenotypes and the underlying mechanisms of CrF formation remain unclear. Utilizing single-nucleus RNA (snRNA) sequencing of CrF and different mouse models, we demonstrate that the commensal Achromobacter pulmonis induces mesenteric adipogenesis through macrophage alteration.

Introduction: (Ye) is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes gastrointestinal infections. The myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) constitute a cellular population with the capacity of inducing the specific suppression of T cells. Although there is evidence supporting the role of MDSCs in controlling the immune responses in several bacterial infections, its role during Ye infection has not yet been reported.
