We report a rare case of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders in a 60-year-old woman, which extensively involved the digestive tract from the esophagus, gastric, duodenum to the small intestine, depicted well by 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT, superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT. Under the guidance of 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT, the biopsy was successfully performed, and the diagnosis was established. This case highlights that 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT may serve as a novel noninvasive method for evaluating eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders.

Background: Simulated microgravity environment can lead to gastrointestinal motility disturbance. The pathogenesis of gastrointestinal motility disorders is closely related to the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-kit signaling pathway associated with intestinal flora and Cajal stromal cells. Moreover, intestinal flora can also affect the regulation of SCF/c-kit signaling pathway, thus affecting the expression of Cajal stromal cells.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the advantages of utilizing the single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) procedure for repairing neonatal congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) in terms of clinical outcomes and complication rates.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single center, neonates with CDO who underwent SILS were compared to those who underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) between January 2018 and December 2022. The demographic and operative characteristics of CDO patients who underwent SILS or CLS were analyzed, including conversion rates and postoperative complications.
