Emphysematous gastritis is a severe form of gastritis caused by gas-forming infectious organisms and is most frequently encountered in critically unwell patients. Diagnosis rests on the radiographic appearances of air within the gastric wall, which may extend into the portal venous system. Not previously described in the context of neutropenic sepsis, our case involves a 77-year-old patient with emphysematous gastritis who was admitted to the intensive care unit with a neutrophil count of 0.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often accompanied by intestinal symptoms. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) possess immunosuppressive ability in cancer, chronic inflammation, and infection. The aim of this study was to verify the distribution of MDSCs in emphysema mouse model and participation in lung-gut cross-talk.

Background: Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, but the contribution of gut microbes to the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is still poorly understood.

Methods: We carried out 16S rRNA gene sequencing and short-chain fatty acid analyses in stool samples from a cohort of 73 healthy controls, 67 patients with COPD of GOLD stages I and II severity, and 32 patients with COPD of GOLD stages III and IV severity. Fecal microbiota from the three groups were then inoculated into recipient mice for a total of 14 times in 28 days to induce pulmonary changes.
