This study systematically reviewed the literature on the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer(CRC) with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), aiming to present a more intuitive and concise overview of existing evidence. Four major Chinese databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed, were searched for randomized controlled trial(RCT) on TCM treatment of CRC. The retrieval period was from database inception to August 1, 2023.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe a surgical technique of intestinal foreign body retrieval without gastrotomy using an endoscopic grasper and digital manipulation, and to compare short-term outcomes with patients who had similar obstructive intestinal foreign bodies removed via gastrotomy.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of dogs and cats with intestinal foreign bodies that underwent treatment with either the orogastric retrieval technique or gastrotomy between November 2021 and July 2023 were extracted. A comparison of the short-term outcomes was performed between the techniques.

Background And Aims: The therapeutic management of fistulas presents significant challenges, often involving both conservative and surgical approaches. Despite these interventions, recurrence and postoperative mortality rates remain high. Endoscopic stent insertion into the fistula, along with the creation of a stent stoma, may offer a promising alternative for patients who fail surgical or conservative therapies.

Introduction: Postoperative ileus (POI) is an iatrogenic disorder marked by temporary impaired gastrointestinal (GI) motility post-abdominal surgery. Surgical handling of the intestine activates resident macrophages (Mfs), leading to inflammatory cytokine release and leukocyte recruitment into the muscularis, which compromises intestinal contractility. The mechanisms behind this activation are unclear.
