Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in the world, and the incidence rate only increases every year. Because of the loss of mental property caused by surgery and postoperative recovery treatment, it has become a difficult problem for many families to solve. Exploring the factors affecting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery to accelerate the recovery has become one of the important research topics of current medical experts and scholars. The purpose of this article is to explore the factors affecting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal malignancies. In this paper, firstly through experimental investigation, the fasting time and operation method of patients undergoing gastrointestinal malignant tumor surgery are used as variables to conduct a controlled experiment, and the first defecation time, exhaust time, and bowel sound recovery of the experimental subjects after surgery are recorded. Changes in time and other indicators are compared to verify whether they affect the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Experimental data showed that the recovery time of bowel sounds was 29.10 ± 11.09 h in patients with fasting time less than or equal to 2 days after operation, the time of first exhaustion was 28.75 ± 27.80 h, and the time of first defecation was 54.70 ± 39.40 h. The recovery time of bowel sounds in patients with fasting time longer than 2 days was 40.47 ± 9.40 h, the first exhaust time was 71.40 ± 17.54 h, and the first defecation time was 98.30 ± 28.16 h. Therefore, resuming diet as soon as possible after operation is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Monitoring deep wounds is challenging but necessary for high-quality medical treatment. Current methodologies for deep wound monitoring are typically limited to indirect clinical symptoms or costly non-real-time imaging diagnosis. Herein, a smart system is proposed that enables in situ monitoring of deep wounds' status through a semi-implantable device composed of 2 seamlessly connected functional components: 1) the well-designed, microchannel-structured sampling needles that efficiently and conveniently collect samples from deep wound anatomical locations, and 2) the multiplex biochemical testing compartment that facilitates the immediate and persistent detection of multiple biochemical indicators based on a color image processing software accessible to a conventional smartphone.

Background: Enteral feeding intolerance, a common type of gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to underfeeding, is associated with increased mortality. Tracheal pepsin A, an indicator of microaspiration, was found in 39% of patients within 24 hours of enteral feeding. Tracheal pepsin A is a potential biomarker of enteral feeding intolerance.

Introduction: Previous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have indicated a protective role of pregnancy supplementation with fish oil and high-dose vitamin D, respectively, on offspring asthma, infections and several other disorders in early childhood. However, current evidence is not considered sufficient for recommending these supplements in pregnancy. In two RCTs, we aim to investigate whether these protective effects can be confirmed in larger trials with the goal of changing clinical practice and improving child health.

Background/aim: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare cancers originating from Cajal's stromal cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common driver mutation in these cancers is the KIT mutation. This report presents a case of response to low-dose imatinib in a patient with GIST harboring KIT exon 11 W557_K558 deletion.
