This case report highlights an uncommon presentation of small bowel lymphoma as gastrointestinal bleeding in an 87-year-old female with a history of ulcerative colitis. Despite non-specific symptoms and negative findings on upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, ileoscopy revealed a distal ileal mass with a solitary non-bleeding ulcer, confirmed by biopsy as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The patient opted for palliative management. Small intestinal lymphomas, particularly DLBCL, pose diagnostic challenges due to their varied presentations. Timely detection is crucial for optimal outcomes, emphasizing the importance of prompt utilization of diagnostic methods in suspected cases.

Biological characteristics, immune infiltration and drug prediction of PANoptosis related genes and possible regulatory mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease.

PANoptosis is one of several modes of programmed cell death (PCD) and plays an important role in many inflammatory and immune diseases. The role of PANoptosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is currently unknown. Differentially expressed PANoptosis-related genes (DE-PRGs) were identified, and pathway enrichment analyses were performed.

Background: Obesity and overweight are associated with low-grade inflammation induced by adipose tissue expansion and perpetuated by altered intestinal homeostasis, including increased epithelial permeability. Intestinal epithelium functions are supported by intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) mitochondria function.
Methods And Results: Here, we report that diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice induces lipid metabolism adaptations favoring lipid storage in IEC together with reduced number, altered dynamics and diminished oxidative phosphorylation activity of IEC mitochondria.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, typically occur in the stomach and small intestine but rarely in the duodenum. We present a case report wherein a descending duodenal GIST was treated with a limited, minimally invasive surgery after endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) insertion.
Presentation Of Case: A 67-year-old woman visited our hospital with an incidentally discovered duodenal tumor.

Bamboo powder, a novel ingredient, is gaining recognition for its potential as a dietary supplement in poultry feed. This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermented bamboo powder (FBP) on antioxidant status, gut hormone activities, intestinal digestive enzyme activities, gut morphological structure, gastrointestinal development, and the expression of nutritional transporter genes in dwarf yellow-feather broiler chickens. A total of 600 healthy 1-day-old chicks were allocated randomly into two groups, with 10 replicates per group and 30 chicks in each replicate.

Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.
Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.
