The purpose of this study was to investigate retrospectively CTfindings in patients with primary lymphoma causing small bowel obstruction. CTscans of 11 patients with small bowel lymphoma were separately analysed in terms of affected section of the small bowel, focality, wall thickness, pattern and degree of contrast enhancement, lymphadenopathy, organ involvement, perforation, and the presence of intraabdominal fluid. Eight patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and one patient each had marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic T-cell lymphoma. Affected sections of the bowels involved were jejunum (n=5, 45.4%), ileum (n=2, 18.1%), and one case (9%) each of distal ileum, distal jejunum, distal jejunum and ileum, and distal jejunum and colon. Primary gastrointestinal (GI) lymphoma is an uncommon disease, that may lead to small bowel obstruction sometimes.

Documented worldwide, impaired immunity is a cardinal signature resulting from loss of dietary zinc, an essential micronutrient. A steady supply of zinc to meet cellular requirements is regulated by an array of zinc transporters. Deletion of the transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) in mice produced intestinal inflammation.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with the two predominant endophenotypes-Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)-represents a group of chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions. Since most genetic associations with IBD are often limited to independent subtypes, we reported a genome-wide association study (GWAS) cross-trait analysis combined with CD and UC to enhance statistical power. Initially, we detected 256 association signals at 54 genomic susceptibility loci and further characterized the functionality of variants within these regions.
