Background: Short bowel syndrome occurs following massive small bowel resection (SBR) and is one of the most lethal diseases of childhood. We have previously demonstrated hepatic steatosis, altered gut microbiome, and increased fat deposition in our murine model of SBR. These novel findings prompted us to investigate potential alterations in glucose metabolism and systemic inflammation following intestinal resection.

Methods: Male C57BL6 mice underwent 50% proximal SBR or sham operation. Body weight and composition were measured. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glucose, and insulin tolerance testing were performed. Small bowel, pancreas, and serum were collected at sacrifice and analyzed.

Results: SBR mice gained less weight than shams after 10weeks. Despite this, FBG in resected mice was significantly higher than sham animals. After SBR, mice demonstrated perturbed body composition, higher blood glucose, increased pancreatic islet area, and increased systemic inflammation compared with sham mice. Despite these changes, we found no alteration in insulin tolerance after resection.

Conclusions: After massive SBR, we present evidence for abnormal body composition, glucose metabolism, and systemic inflammation. These findings, coupled with resection-associated hepatic steatosis, suggest that massive SBR (independent of parenteral nutrition) results in metabolic consequences not previously described and provides further evidence to support the presence of a novel resection-associated metabolic syndrome.

Aim: To investigate predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with the distal ureteral diameter ratio (UDR) for early breakthrough urinary tract infection (BT-UTI) in children with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 VUR patients admitted to ShangHai Children's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Patients were divided into the early BT-UTI group (n = 52) and the non-earlyBT-UTI group (n = 98) based on whether early BT-UTI occurred.

Introduction: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a genetic condition characterised by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (47,XXY). KS is associated with various phenotypic characteristics in adult life, including infertility, hypogonadism and increased risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Additionally, individuals with KS often experience mental health challenges and functional impairments that significantly impact their quality of life.

Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), a key regulator of lipid metabolism and inflammation, has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study investigated the effects of FABP4 inhibition during gestation and lactation on offspring neurodevelopment using the selective FABP4 inhibitor BMS309403. Female mice received BMS309403 (15 mg/kg) via oral gavage from two weeks before mating to postnatal day 28 (P28).

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation, pain, and progressive joint damage. Current treatments, while effective, are limited by their potential side effects, particularly in long-term use. This study introduces a novel nanoemulsion-based therapeutic approach combining rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, with SS31, a mitochondrial-targeting antioxidant peptide.

Unraveling lipopolysaccharide-induced behavioral and molecular effects in Lymnaea stagnalis, an emerging model organism for translational neuroscience.

In this study, we employed a reductionist (yet not simplistic) approach utilizing the established invertebrate model system of the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, to investigate the behavioral and molecular effects of systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-a bacterial endotoxin-on the snails' central ring ganglia. Snails received injections of either a low dose (2.5 μg) or a high dose (25 μg) of LPS, and their behavioral and molecular responses were assessed at 2, 6, and 24 h post-injection.
