RESUMEN
The present report aims to describe the case of a duodenal obstruction ileus in a dairy cow that was caused by a cage magnet. The 4.7-year-old German Fleckvieh cow was hospitalized because of symptoms of intestinal obstruction such as anorexia, noticeable drop in milk yield, reduced defecation, dehydration and positive percussion and swinging auscultation in a circumscribed area cranial of the right flank over the last 2 ribs. Six months as well as 3 days prior to hospitalization the cow had already been treated for signs of hardware disease, which included administration of a cage magnet.After the initial clinical diagnostic procedure on hospital admission, a diagnostic laparotomy in the right paralumbar fossa was performed to identify the cause of the ileus. The cranial part of the duodenum was markedly dilated, and a solid foreign body was found obstructing the intestine immediately aboral to the duodenal sigmoid flexure. This was identified as a cage magnet, which was massaged in retrograde direction into the pyloric antrum and removed via abomasotomy. The cow recovered from surgical intervention and was discharged from the hospital 6 days later.The present report describes an unusual complication of cage magnet administration, which is a standard veterinary procedure and generally considered a safe treatment option in cows with clinical signs of acute traumatic reticuloperitonitis.

BACKGROUND: Numerous measurement techniques for intra-abdominal pressure have been explored, with the Kron Technique established as the gold standard. Despite its prominence, the search for alternative methods persists due to its lengthy application time, the requirement for additional equipment, and overall impracticality. This study investigated a quicker, more accessible method for effective intra-abdominal pressure measurement in the emergency department. It aimed to compare intra-abdominal pressure measurements in patients diagnosed with ileus using a digital manometer and the Kron Technique. METHODS: Conducted from October 2022 to February 2023, this single-center, prospective, single-blind method comparison study involved patients diagnosed with ileus at a tertiary emergency department. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured using both the Kron Technique and a digital manometer by separate practitioners blinded to the study results. RESULTS: The study included 30 patients. No statistically significant difference was observed in the intra-abdominal pressure measurements between the two methods (p<0.237). A very strong correlation existed between the two methods (Spearman's Rho = 0.998). Bland-Altman analysis showed a bias value of 0.091 mmHg for the digital manometer, with upper and lower agreement limits of -0.825 and 1.007 mmHg, respectively. The measurement time was significantly shorter with the digital manometer than with the Kron Technique (15 vs. 390.5 seconds; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: We believe that the intra-abdominal pressure measurement technique using a digital manometer is a method that can be effectively employed by healthcare professionals in emergency departments. This technique offers ease of use, requires minimal equipment, provides rapid results, and delivers reliable measurement values compared to the Kron Technique.

BACKGROUND: To determine whether frailty can predict prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) in older abdominal surgical patients; and to compare predictive ability of the FRAIL scale, the five-point modified frailty index (mFI-5) and Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) for PPOI. METHODS: Patients (aged ≥ 65 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery at our institution between April 2022 to January 2023 were prospectively enrolled. Frailty was evaluated with FRAIL, mFI-5 and GFI before operation. Data on demographics, comorbidities, perioperative management, postoperative recovery of bowel function and PPOI occurrence were collected. RESULTS: The incidence of frailty assessed with FRAIL, mFI-5 and GFI was 18.2%, 38.4% and 32.5% in a total of 203 patients, respectively. Ninety-five (46.8%) patients experienced PPOI. Time to first soft diet intake was longer in patients with frailty assessed by the three scales than that in patients without frailty. Frailty diagnosed by mFI-5 [Odds ratio (OR) 3.230, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.572-6.638, P = 0.001] or GFI (OR 2.627, 95% CI 1.307-5.281, P = 0.007) was related to a higher risk of PPOI. Both mFI-5 [Area under curve (AUC) 0.653, 95% CI 0.577-0.730] and GFI (OR 2.627, 95% CI 1.307-5.281, P = 0.007) had insufficient accuracy for the prediction of PPOI in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Elderly patients diagnosed as frail on the mFI-5 or GFI are at an increased risk of PPOI after major abdominal surgery. However, neither mFI-5 nor GFI can accurately identify individuals who will develop PPOI. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (No. ChiCTR2200058178).

BACKGROUND: Prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) is a common complication after colorectal surgery that increases patient discomfort, hospital stay, and financial burden. However, predictive tools to assess the risk of PPOI in patients undergoing laparoscopic low anterior resection have not been developed. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a nomogram to predict PPOI after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer. METHODS: A total of 548 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection for mid-low rectal cancer at a single tertiary medical center were retrospectively enrolled between January 2019 and January 2023. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze potential predictors of PPOI. The nomogram was constructed using the filtered variables and internally verified by bootstrap resampling. Model performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve, and the clinical usefulness was evaluated by the decision curve. RESULTS: Among 548 consecutive patients, 72 patients (13.1%) presented with PPOI. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that advantage age, hypoalbuminemia, high surgical difficulty, and postoperative use of opioid analgesic were independent prognostic factors for PPOI. These variables were used to construct the nomogram model to predict PPOI. Internal validation, conducted through bootstrap resampling, confirmed the great discrimination of the nomogram with an area under the curve of 0.738 (95%CI 0.736-0.741). CONCLUSIONS: We created a novel nomogram for predicting PPOI after laparoscopic low anterior resection. This nomogram can assist surgeons in identifying patients at a heightened risk of PPOI.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the association between prolonged preoperative sedentary time (ST) and postoperative ileus (POI) after adjusting for confounders in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: This single-center retrospective study enrolled 155 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for primary CRC. A diagnosis of POI was made by the surgeons if the Clavien-Dindo classification (CD) grade is ≥ 2 within 30 days after surgery. Preoperative ST was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire usual week short version (Japanese version). Patients were classified into two groups (ST < 6 h/day and ST ≥ 6 h/day) based on results from the questionnaire, and data were analyzed using a propensity score-matching strategy to adjust for confounders. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify the optimal cutoff value of preoperative ST for predicting POI. RESULTS: Of the 155 patients, 134 were included in the analysis. POI occurred in 16 (11.9%) patients of overall patients and 11 (12.5%) of the 88 matched patients. The logistic regression analysis after propensity score-matching showed that prolonged preoperative ST (ST ≥ 6 h/day) was associated with POI (odds ratio 5.40 (95% confidence interval: 1.09 - 26.60), p = 0.038). The ROC curve analysis indicated that the optimal cutoff value of preoperative ST for predicting POI was 6 h/day. CONCLUSION: Prolonged preoperative ST is a risk factor for POI in patients with CRC. Therefore, reducing preoperative ST may play an important role in preventing POI.

Rare complication of gallstone disease is gallstone ileus. The common location is the small intestine, followed by the stomach. The rarest location is colonic gallstone ileus (CGI). To summarize and define the most appropriate diagnostic methods and therapeutic options for CGI based on the paucity of published data. Literature searches of English-, German-, Spanish-, Italian-, Japanese-, Dutch- and Portuguese language articles included and Italian-language articles using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Additional studies were identified from the references of retrieved studies. 113 cases of CGI were recorded with a male to female patient ratio of 1:2.9. The average patient age was 77.7 years (range 45-95 years). The usual location of stone impaction was the sigmoid colon (85.8%), followed by a descending colon (6.6%), transverse colon (4.7%), rectum (1.9%), and lastly, ascending colon (0.9%). Gallstones ranged from 2 to 10 cm. The duration of symptoms was variable (1 day to 2 months), with commonly reported abdominal distension, obstipation, and vomiting; 85.2% of patients had previous biliary symptoms. Diverticular disease was present in 81.8% of patients. During the last 23 years, CT scan was the most common imaging method (91.5%), confirming the ectopic gallstone in 86.7% of cases, pneumobilia in 65.3%, and cholecytocolonic fistula in 68%. The treatment option included laparotomy with cololithotomy and primary closure (24.7%), laparotomy and cololithotomy with diverting stoma (14.2%), colonic resection with anastomosis (7.9%), colonic resection with a colostomy (12.4%), laparoscopy with cololithotomy with primary closure (2.6%), laparoscopy with cololithotomy with a colostomy (0.9%), colostomy without gallstone extraction (5.3%), endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy (success rate 41.1%), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (1.8%). The cholecystectomy rate was 46.7%; during the initial procedure 25%, and as a separate procedure, 21.7%; 53.3% of patients had no cholecystectomy. The survival rate was 87%. CGI is the rarest presentation of gallstone ileus, mainly in women over 70 years of age, with gallstones over 2 cm, and predominantly in the sigmoid colon. Abdominal CT is diagnostic. Nonoperative treatment, particularly in subacute presentations, should be the first-line treatment. Laparotomy with cololithotomy or colonic resection is a standard procedure with favorable outcomes. There are no robust data on whether primary or delayed cholecystectomy is mandatory as a part of CGI management.

BACKGROUND: Gallstone ileus (GI) occurs in <0.1% of all cases of mechanical bowel obstruction. There have been a few reports of GI occurring after Kasai procedures or Roux-en-Y anastomosis for bariatric surgery. We herein report a case of GI that occurred over 17 years after liver transplantation (LT). CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old woman who had undergone living donor LT for biliary atresia at 16 years old and had been regularly followed on an outpatient basis in our hospital presented with the sudden onset of increased abdominal distension, pain, and nausea. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography showed dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct and the whole intestinal tract of the Roux limb as well as ischemic changes near the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. On laparotomy, a movable and hard foreign body was palpated in the intestinal tract close to the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis site. Enterotomy was performed, and a 4-cm gallstone was removed. The patient had a good postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 12. CONCLUSIONS: Although GI after LT is a rare complication, it may need to be differentiated as a cause of ileus. An accurate differential diagnosis and early reliable intervention for stone removal will help prevent serious bowel complication, which may lead to graft dysfunction.

Background: Gallstone ileus represents 4% of the causes of bowel obstruction in general population, but it increases to 25% in patients above 65 years of age. Gallstone ileus does not present with unique symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. It has a high mortality (12 to 27%) due to associated comorbidities and diagnostic delay. The aim of this case report is to communicate the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical management of gallstone ileus. Clinical case: It is presented the clinical case of a 67-year-old female patient with a history of long-standing diabetes mellitus without medical control, without previous surgical history, who began suffering 2 days prior to admission to the emergency room with signs and symptoms of intestinal occlusion. She was given medical management without improvement and diagnostic delay of mechanical intestinal occlusion that was surgically intervened 7 days after the onset of clinical symptoms, finding gallstone ileus in the exploratory laparotomy, with satisfactory resolution of the pathology despite the diagnostic delay. Conclusions: Gallstone ileus is a difficult clinical entity to diagnose and therefore requires a high index of suspicion. The aim of gallstone ileus treatment is to release the obstruction, which is done through enterolithotomy. It is the recommended technique for gallstone ileus management because of its lower morbidity and mortality, compared with the other techniques.
Introducción: el íleo biliar representa el 4% de las causas de obstrucción intestinal en la población en general, pero incrementa a un 25% en los pacientes de más de 65 años. No presenta síntomas únicos, lo cual hace difícil su diagnóstico. Tiene una alta mortalidad (entre 12 y 27%) debido a las comorbilidades asociadas y al retraso diagnóstico. El objetivo de este caso clínico es comunicar la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno y el manejo quirúrgico del íleo biliar. Caso clínico: se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 67 años con antecedente de diabetes mellitus de larga evolución sin control médico, sin antecedentes quirúrgicos previos, cuyo padecimiento comenzó dos días antes de su ingreso a urgencias con signos y síntomas de oclusión intestinal. Se le dio manejo médico sin mejoría y hubo retraso diagnóstico de oclusión intestinal mecánica, la cual fue intervenida quirúrgicamente siete días después del inicio del cuadro clínico. En la laparotomía exploradora se encontró un íleo biliar, con resolución satisfactoria de la patología a pesar del retraso diagnóstico. Conclusiones: el íleo biliar es una entidad clínica de difícil diagnóstico que requiere un alto índice de sospecha. El objetivo del tratamiento del íleo biliar es liberar la obstrucción por medio de la enterolitotomía. Comparada con las otras técnicas, esta es la técnica recomendada para el manejo del íleo biliar, debido a su menor morbimortalidad.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative ileus results in morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and increased health care expenditure. However, the underlying abnormalities in motility remain poorly understood. Recent high-resolution manometry studies demonstrated that the distal colon becomes hyperactive with a cyclic motor pattern postoperatively, but they did not track this activity beyond 16 hours after surgery. OBJECTIVE: This study used high-resolution manometry to evaluate distal colonic motility during the first 4 days after right-sided colectomy. DESIGN: An observational study of perioperative high-resolution colonic manometry using a 36-sensor catheter with 1-cm resolution. SETTING: A single tertiary hospital. PATIENTS: Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic or open right-sided colonic resection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Occurrence of distal colonic motor patterns during the perioperative period, defined according to a published classification system. Clinical markers of gut recovery included time to first stool, oral diet, and prolonged postoperative ileus. RESULTS: Seven patients underwent perioperative manometry recordings. Hyperactive cyclic motor patterns emerged intraoperatively and peaked in the first 12 hours postoperatively, occupying 81.8% ± 3.9% of the recording. This gradually returned to normal during the first 4 days, reaching 19.0% ± 4.4% ( p = 0.002). No patient had a bowel movement before this hyperactivity resolved. High-amplitude propagating sequences were absent in early postoperative recordings, and their return temporally correlated with the passage of stool. Abnormal high-amplitude repetitive 0.5 to 1 cycle per minute activity was observed in the left colon of 1 patient with prolonged ileus. LIMITATIONS: The invasive nature of recordings limited this study to a small sample size. CONCLUSIONS: Cyclic motor patterns are markedly hyperactive in the distal colon after right-sided colectomy and resolve during the first 4 postoperative days. High-amplitude propagating sequences are inhibited by surgery and gradually recover. Bowel function may not return until these changes resolve. Other abnormal repetitive hyperactive patterns could contribute to the development of prolonged ileus. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B967 . MOTILIDAD HIPERACTIVA DEL COLON DISTAL Y PATRONES DE RECUPERACIN DESPUS DE COLECTOMA DERECHA UN ESTUDIO DE MANOMETRA DE ALTA RESOLUCIN: ANTECEDENTES:El íleo post-operatorio produce una morbilidad significativa, una hospitalización prolongada y un aumento del gasto sanitario. Sin embargo, las anomalías subyacentes en la motilidad siguen siendo poco conocidas. Estudios recientes de manometría de alta resolución demostraron que el colon distal se vuelve hiperactivo con un patrón motor cíclico en el post-operatorio, pero no registraron esta actividad más allá de las 16 horas posteriores a la cirugía.OBJETIVO:Utilizar la manometría de alta resolución para evaluar la motilidad del colon distal durante los primeros cuatro días después de la colectomía del lado derecho.DISEÑO:Estudio observacional de pacientes sometidos a manometría colónica perioperatoria de alta resolución mediante catéter de 36 sensores con 1 cm de resolución.AJUSTE:Un solo hospital terciario.PACIENTES:Pacientes adultos sometidos a resección laparoscópica o abierta de colon del lado derecho de forma electiva.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:AAparición de patrones motores del colon distal durante el período perioperatorio, definidos según un sistema de clasificación publicado. Los marcadores clínicos de recuperación intestinal incluyeron, tiempo hasta la primera evacuación, dieta oral e íleo posoperatorio prolongado.RESULTADOS:Siete pacientes fueron sometidos a registros de manometría perioperatoria. Los patrones motores cíclicos hiperactivos emergieron intraoperatoriamente y alcanzaron su punto máximo en las primeras 12 horas post-operatorias, ocupando 81,8 ± 3,9% del registro. Esto volvió gradualmente a la normalidad durante los primeros cuatro días, alcanzando el 19,0 ± 4,4% (p = 0,002). Ningún paciente tuvo una evacuación intestinal antes de que se resolviera esta hiperactividad. Las secuencias de propagación de alta amplitud estaban ausentes en las grabaciones post-operatorias tempranas y su retorno se correlacionó temporalmente con el paso de las heces. Se observó actividad anormal de alta amplitud repetitiva de 0,5-1 ciclo / minuto en el colon izquierdo de un paciente con íleo prolongado.LIMITACIONES:La naturaleza invasiva de las grabaciones limitó este estudio a un tamaño de muestra pequeño.CONCLUSIONES:Los patrones motores cíclicos son marcadamente hiperactivos en el colon distal después de la colectomía del lado derecho y se resuelven gradualmente durante los primeros cuatro días posoperatorios. Las secuencias de propagación de gran amplitud se inhiben mediante cirugía y se recuperan gradualmente. Es posible que la función intestinal no regrese hasta que estos cambios se resuelvan. Otros patrones hiperactivos repetitivos anormales podrían contribuir al desarrollo de íleo prolongado. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B967 . (Traducción-Dr. Mauricio Santamaria ).

This review aims to objectify which definitions and outcome measures are used for the return of bowel function and postoperative ileus in children. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched from inception to December 17, 2020. Prospective studies conducted in children (aged 0-18 years) undergoing gastrointestinal surgery which reported on definitions and/or outcome measures for post-operative ileus or return of bowel function were evaluated. Definitions and outcome measures were extracted. From 4,027 references, 71 articles were included. From the 17 articles mentioning postoperative ileus, 8 (47%) provided a definition. In total, 34 outcome measures were used and 12 were unique. "Abdominal distension" was the most reported (41%) measure. In 41%, the outcome measures only described the return of gastric motility, while 18% described the return of intestinal motility. The return of bowel function was mentioned in 67 articles, none provided a definition. In total, 133 outcome measures were used and 37 were unique. Time to oral intake was the most reported (14%) measure. In 49%, the outcome measures only described the return of gastric motility, while 10% described the return of intestinal motility. High variation in definitions and outcome measures has limited the generalizability of research into postoperative bowel function in children. Without standardization, it will be impossible to compare research results and evaluate treatments. In children, the return of gastric motility seemingly should get more focus compared to adults. Therefore, we believe that a definition of postoperative ileus with an accompanying core outcome set, developed by a multidisciplinary team, specifically for children is required.

Aim: To explore the relationship between inflammatory markers and prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI), and to establish a nomogram for predicting PPOI. Patients & methods: The data of 229 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of PPOI. The predictive model of PPOI was established and verified internally. Results: Postoperative PPOI occurred in 87 (38.0%) of all 229 patients. Our study showed that age, preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and changes in neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio were independent risk factors for PPOI. Conclusion: The nomograms established based on these independent risk factors have good predictive efficacy and may be able to guide clinicians to individualize the diagnosis and treatment.

Post-operative ileus (POI) is a syndrome of impaired gastrointestinal transit which occurs following abdominal surgery. There are few effective targeted therapies for ileus, and research has been limited by inconsistent definitions and an incomplete understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. Despite considerable effort, there remains no widely-adopted definition of ileus, and recent work has identified variation in outcome reporting is a major source of heterogeneity in clinical trials. Outcomes should be clearly-defined, clinically-relevant, and reflective of the underlying biology, impacts on hospital resources and quality of life. Further collaborative efforts will be needed to develop consensus definitions and a core outcome set for postoperative gastrointestinal recovery. Investigation into the pathophysiology of POI has been hindered by use of low-resolution techniques and difficulties linking cellular mechanisms to dysmotility patterns and clinical symptoms. Recent evidence has suggested the common assumption of post-operative GI paralysis is incorrect, and that the distal colon becomes hyperactive following surgery. The post-operative inflammatory response is important in the pathophysiology of ileus, but the time course of this in humans remains unclear, with the majority of evidence coming from animal models. Future work should investigate dysmotility patterns underlying ileus, and identify biomarkers which may be used to diagnose, monitor and stratify patients with ileus.

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors of postoperative ileus (POI) in elective colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A non-randomized retrospective study included 220 patients who underwent elective surgery for colorectal tumors. The indication for surgery was CRC stage 0-IV in 213 (96.8%) cases, villous adenoma in 7 cases (3.2%). Risk factors of POI defined in univariate analysis were included into multivariate analysis. Logistic regression was used in this case. RESULTS: Risk factors of POI were male sex (p=0.04), multifocal CRC (p=0.03), intraoperative transfusion (p=0.005), postoperative transfusion (p=0.035), left-sided hemicolectomy (p=0.01), colostomy (p=0.02), loop transversostomy (p=0.003), loop colostomy (p=0.02). According to logistic regression, independent risk factors of POI were male sex (p=0.015), left-sided hemicolectomy (p=0.004), intraoperative transfusion p=0.002), loop transversostomy (p=0.019). CONCLUSION: Independent risk factors of POI in elective colorectal cancer surgery were male sex, left-sided hemicolectomy, intraoperative transfusion and loop transversostomy.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative ileus (POI) occurs in almost all patients after abdominal laparoscopic surgery, resulting in complications and increasing the length of hospitalization. Electroacupuncture has been used as an alternative therapy for gastrointestinal dysfunction, but its efficacy for POI is inconclusive. The study is designed to determine whether electroacupuncture can accelerate recovery from POI. METHODS/DESIGN: This study is a three-arm, randomized controlled trial. A total of 105 patients will be randomized into a group receiving electroacupuncture at Tianshu (ST25), a group receiving electroacupuncture at Zusanli (ST36), or a control group in a 1:1:1 ratio. Patients in the electroacupuncture groups will receive electroacupuncture treatment for 4 days from the first day after surgery. The primary outcome consists of the time to first flatus and the time to first defecation. Secondary outcomes include the time to first tolerance of liquid and semiliquid food; the length of the hospital stay; postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting; abdominal distension; the time to first get out of bed; and postoperative complications. The outcomes will be assessed by the patients themselves every day during hospitalization. Surgeons, nurses, assessors, and statisticians will be blinded to the group assignments. Patients in the two electroacupuncture groups, but not in the control group, will be blinded to the group assignments. The acupuncturists will not be blinded. DISCUSSION: The aim of this trial is to provide a nonpharmacological therapy for POI and may provide evidence of the effect of electroacupuncture at ST25 or ST36 on POI.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative ileus entails pathophysiological changes in mucosal permeability and an intestinal inflammatory immune response. We hypothesized that preoperative selective decontamination of the digestive tract combined with preoperative mechanical bowel preparation might be advantageous to prevent or reduce permeability changes and immune response in postoperative ileus. METHODS: Postoperative ileus was induced in mice by standardized small bowel manipulation. Intervention groups received selective decontamination and/or intestinal lavage with normal saline simulating mechanical bowel preparation before postoperative ileus induction. At 1, 3, and 9 hours after surgery, ileum samples were harvested for measurements of fluorescein (332 Da) permeability, quantification of tumor necrosis factor α-mRNA level, and leukocyte infiltration of the intestinal wall. RESULTS: Mucosal fluorescein permeability increased at 1 hour (8.6 ± 1.1 vs 5.9 ± 0.9 10-6 cm/s; P < .01) and 3 hours (8.5 ± 0.6 vs 6.5 ± 0.2 10-6 cm/s; P < .05) after induction of postoperative ileus. This increase was prevented by mechanical bowel preparation and selective decontamination+mechanical bowel preparation interventions at both points in time. Expression of tumor necrosis factor α was more than 2-fold increased (P < .05) in the very early phase after induction of postoperative ileus but did not occur in mechanical bowel preparation-pretreated animals. Myeloperoxidase staining revealed that mechanical bowel preparation inhibited postoperative ileus-associated leukocyte infiltration of the intestinal muscularis at 3 and 9 hours after surgery, but not selective decontamination + mechanical bowel preparation treatment. The number of leukocytes after mechanical bowel preparation-only treatment remained at the level of sham-controls. CONCLUSION: Mechanical bowel preparation prevents permeability and leukocyte infiltration of the intestinal wall in the early phase of postoperative ileus in mice.

Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency in children. However, it is challenging to seek appropriate treatment for childhood ileus since many diagnostic measures suitable for adults are not applicable to children. The rapid development of machine learning has spurred much interest in its application to medical imaging problems but little in medical text mining. In this paper, a two-layer model based on text data such as routine blood count and urine tests is proposed to provide guidance on the diagnosis and assist in clinical decision-making. The samples of this study were 526 children with intestinal obstruction. Firstly, the samples were divided into two groups according to whether they had intestinal obstruction surgery, and then, the surgery group was divided into two groups according to whether the intestinal tube was necrotic. Specifically, we combined 63 physiological indexes of each child with their corresponding label and fed them into a deep learning neural network which contains multiple fully connected layers. Subsequently, the corresponding value was obtained by activation function. The 5-fold cross-validation was performed in the first layer and demonstrated a mean accuracy (Acc) of 80.04%, and the corresponding sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), and MCC were 67.48%, 87.46%, and 0.57, respectively. Additionally, the second layer can also reach an accuracy of 70.4%. This study shows that the proposed algorithm has direct meaning to processing of clinical text data of childhood ileus.

Two years after a Hartmann's procedure, an 85-year-old woman was admitted at our emergency department with abdominal bloating and severe constipation for 5 days. Abdominal CT showed a large rectal stump mucocele associated with compression of surrounding structures, causing a mechanical ileus and a bilateral pyelocaliceal dilatation. Successful transanal drainage with a rectal catheter allowed rapid recovery.

Gastric motility disorders present both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and likely are under-recognized in small animal practice. This review includes a comparative overview of etiopathogenesis and clinical presentation of gastric motility disorders, suggests a practical approach to the diagnosis of these conditions, and provides an update on methods to evaluate gastric motor function. Furthermore, management of gastric dysmotility is discussed, including a review of the documented effect of gastric prokinetics.
