[Small Bowel Obstruction Due to Internal Hernia Caused by the Vermiform Appendix, Mesentery of the Small Intestines, and Greater Omentum in a Patient with No History of Abdominal Surgery]. | LitMetric
Our patient was a 69-year-old man being treated for hyperlipidemia. He was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of vomiting and abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography(CT)showed dilation of the distal small intestines, a small amount of ascites in the small intestines near the right pelvis, and a closed loop of the small intestine. Enhanced abdominal CT was performed to evaluate intestinal ischemia. Given the adequate blood flow to the wall, the small intestines forming the closed loop, and no increase in ascites, the patient was treated conservatively. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed because of the narrowed lumen and incomplete obstruction observed on the abdominal CT and contrast- enhanced imaging of the ileal tube. The tip of the appendix adherent to the mesentery of the small intestines, approximately 80 cm from the ileum, and the omentum adherent to the bottom of the right pelvis caused the obstruction. A cord dissection and appendectomy were performed. Making the diagnosis was difficult because there was no history of appendicitis and the small intestinal obstruction was caused by adhesions in 2 places with no history of laparotomy.
In order to establish a stable in vitro culture platform for chicken small intestine three-dimensional (3D) organoids, in this study, crypt cells were collected from the small intestine of 18-day-old embryos of AA broilers. On the basis of the L-WRN conditioned medium, we optimized the culture conditions of chicken small intestinal organoids by adjusting the proportions of nicotinamide, N-acetylcysteine, LY2157299, CHIR99021, Jagged-1, FGF, and other cytokines to select the medium suitable for the long-term stable growth of the organoids. The optimization results showed that the addition of 1.
An 87-year-old man with complaints of palpitations and digestive bleeding previously visited another hospital. He was referred to our hospital because of anemia. Small bowel endoscopy revealed an elevated lesion with bleeding from the ileum.

A close interplay exists between the gut and liver, known as the "gut-liver axis", which plays a vital role in health and disease. This research aimed to explore the effects of dietary formic acid polymer (FAP) addition on inflammatory injury in gut-liver axis of broilers due to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Four hundred and fifty 1-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were assigned to three treatment groups: (1) control (non-challenged, basal diet); (2) LPS (LPS-challenged, basal diet); (3) LPS+FAP (LPS-challenged, basal diet with 1,000 mg/kg FAP).
Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy critically influences offspring development and immune function. One-carbon metabolites (OCM) are epigenetic modifiers that may modulate antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expression, which is vital for innate immunity. This study investigated the effects of maternal nutrient restriction and OCM supplementation on mRNA expression of AMP in fetal and maternal lung, mammary gland, and small intestine of beef cattle.

Skin-penetrating nematodes infect nearly one billion people worldwide. The developmentally arrested infective larvae (iL3s) seek out hosts, invade hosts via skin penetration, and resume development inside the host in a process called activation. Activated infective larvae (iL3as) traverse the host body, ending up as parasitic adults in the small intestine.
