The main purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), non-specific esterase (NSE), peroxidase (POD), and mucous cells in the intestine of the koi carp Cyprinus carpio var. koi. ACP activity was located in the striated border, enterocytes, and lamina propria of the anterior and middle intestines. The ACP activity in the anterior intestine was higher than that in the middle and posterior intestines. ALP existed in the striated border of enterocytes and lamina propria, serosa, muscular layer, and the junction between muscular layer and submucosa layer of the intestine. The ALP activity in the anterior intestine was higher than that in the middle and posterior intestines. NSE activity was localized in the cytoplasm of enterocytes in the whole intestine, and the middle intestine showed the lower NSE activity than the anterior and posterior intestines. POD activity was localized in the blood cells of the lamina propria and cytoplasm of enterocytes in all intestinal segments. The POD activity among the anterior, middle, and posterior intestines was non-significantly different. Alcian blue periodic acid-Schiff histochemical results revealed three types of mucous cells in the intestine. The total number of mucous cells and percentage of type I cells among the anterior, middle, and posterior intestines were non-significantly different. The percentage of the type II cells was the highest in the posterior intestine, while the lowest in the anterior intestine. The percentage of the type III cells was the highest in the anterior intestine, while the lowest in the posterior intestine.

The plastivore insect Tenebrio molitor demonstrates significant potential for the rapid biodegradation and bioremediation of micro(nano)plastics. However, real-time visualization of the digestive degradation and removal of microplastics (MPs) during intestinal transit, along with the associated in vivo intestinal functional responses, remains challenging. Here, we developed second near-infrared (NIR-II) window aggregated-induced emission (AIE) MPs of two sizes (29.

Article Synopsis
- Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
- The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
- The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.
Laparoscopic Reversal of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass with Hand-Sewn Gastro-Gastrostomy and Resection of the Alimentary Limb.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.
Foundational Image Analyses for Ultrasonographic Screening of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

With improved surgical outcomes for non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the primary objective has shifted toward the detection of asymptomatic AAA. Since ultrasonographic visualization from the anterior abdominal wall is often obstructed by intestinal gas, utilizing additional bilateral posterior approaches via the retroperitoneal tissue may be beneficial. This study investigates the feasibility of assessment using three approaches through computed tomography (CT) data analyses.

Oshmarin & Demshin, 1972 is redescribed from the posterior intestine of tropical tortoise (Gmelin, 1789) (Testudines: Geoemydidae) from China. Some characteristic features of the male reproductive system not reported previously are now reported for the present species. These include the presence of two blind diverticula near the mid-region of the seminal vesicle and a small cuticular structure near the opening of the cloaca - which we propose to name the 'scutum.
