Peripheral nerve injury denervates muscle, resulting in muscle paralysis and atrophy. This is reversible if timely muscle reinnervation occurs. With delayed reinnervation, the muscle's reparative ability declines, and muscle-resident fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) proliferate and differentiate, inducing fibro-fatty muscle degradation and thereby physical disability.

Objectives: To investigate the value of mesenteric creeping fat index (MCFI) defined by computed-tomography enterography (CTE) in patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) for predicting early postoperative recurrence.
Methods: A total of 110 patients with CD who underwent CTE and I-stage intestinal resection surgery from December 2013 to December 2018 were enrolled. Two radiologists independently assessed CTE parameters, including MCFI, with scores ranging from 1 to 8; bowel-wall thickening, with a scale of 1 to 3; mural hyperenhancement, mural stratification, submucosal fat deposition, mesenteric fibrofatty proliferation, mesenteric hypervascularity, mesenteric fat stranding, with a scale of 0 to 2; abscess/fistula, enlarged mesenteric lymph node, abdominal and pelvic effusion, with a scale of 0 to 1.

Background: Residual abnormalities on computed tomography enterography (CTE) in Crohn's disease (CD) with endoscopic healing (EH) may have prognostic implications and affect therapeutic strategy.
Methods: CD patients with EH who underwent CTE between March 2015 and June 2022 were enrolled. CTE findings of the terminal ileum and the most severe segment of colon at the time of EH were assessed respectively for each patient.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in the United States. Atherosclerosis, the dominant condition leading to CVD, is characterized by fibrofatty plaque formation. Fibrinogen, an important clotting factor, has been known to promote atherogenesis as it retains the ability to trigger smooth muscle cell proliferation, localize in areas crucial to plaque progression, and bind both platelets and leukocytes.
