The surgical technique with duodeno-duodenal enteroanastomosis of pancreas transplants allows for representative endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle biopsies of the donor duodenum and the pancreas graft. We assessed whether histological findings in transplanted donor duodenal biopsies can indicate rejection in the transplanted pancreas. Since September 2012, a duodeno-duodenal enteroanastomosis has been the default technique for pancreas transplantations at our center. In 67 recipients we prospectively examined 113 endoscopic ultrasound-guided procedures with representative biopsies from the duodenum grafts and the pancreas grafts (97 per protocol and 16 on indication). All graft biopsies were evaluated according to established rejection criteria. A total of 22 biopsy-proven pancreas rejections were detected, with 2 matching duodenal biopsies showing rejection. This gives a sensitivity of 9% for detection of a pancreas rejection by duodenal biopsies. The other matching duodenal biopsies were either normal (n = 13) or indeterminate (n = 7). Rejection of the donor duodenum was found in only 6/113 biopsies, with 2 concurrent pancreas rejections. In conclusion, the donor duodenum is not a useful reporter organ for rejection in the pancreas graft.

Introduction: The conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) mediated by plasmids occurred in different intestinal segments of mice was explored.
Methods: The location of ARG donor bacteria and ARGs was investigated by qPCR, flow cytometry, and small animal imaging. The resistant microbiota was analyzed by gene amplification sequencing.

Patient-derived organoids provide a unique model system to explore disease-causing mutations ex vivo. By using organoids from duodenal or colonic biopsies of pediatric patients with intestinal epithelial disorders, we can directly assay the patient cells to tailor treatment to their unique disease state. The advent of organoid technology from patients with severe intestinal disorders such as Congenital Diarrhea Enteropathies (CoDE) and Very-Early-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD) has allowed for rapid advances in the understanding of and the treatment of these monogenic disorders.

Intestinal parasites are part of the intestinal ecosystem and have been shown to establish close interactions with the intestinal microbiota. However, little is known about the influence of intestinal protozoa on the regulation of the immune response. In this study, we analyzed the regulation of the immune response of germ-free mice transplanted with fecal microbiota (FMT) from individuals with multiple parasitic protozoans (P) and non-parasitized individuals (NP).
