Li H, Fan X, Ding X, Zhang QY. Tissue-, Region-, and Gene-Specific Induction of Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase Expression and Activity in the Mouse Intestine by Arsenic in Drinking Water. Drug Metab Dispos 2024; 52:681-689. [PMID: 38719743 PMCID: PMC11185820 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.124.001720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/19/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the effects of arsenic exposure on the expression of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH or EPHX1) and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH or EPHX2) in the liver and small intestine. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to sodium arsenite in drinking water at various doses for up to 28 days. Intestinal, but not hepatic, mEH mRNA and protein expression was induced by arsenic at 25 ppm, in both males and females, whereas hepatic mEH expression was induced by arsenic at 50 or 100 ppm. The induction of mEH was gene specific, as the arsenic exposure did not induce sEH expression in either tissue. Within the small intestine, mEH expression was induced only in the proximal, but not the distal segments. The induction of intestinal mEH was accompanied by increases in microsomal enzymatic activities toward a model mEH substrate, cis-stilbene oxide, and an epoxide-containing drug, oprozomib, in vitro, and by increases in the levels of PR-176, the main hydrolysis metabolite of oprozomib, in the proximal small intestine of oprozomib-treated mice. These findings suggest that intestinal mEH, playing a major role in converting xenobiotic epoxides to less reactive diols, but not sEH, preferring endogenous epoxides as substrates, is relevant to the adverse effects of arsenic exposure, and that further studies of the interactions between drinking water arsenic exposure and the disposition or possible adverse effects of epoxide-containing drugs and other xenobiotic compounds in the intestine are warranted. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Consumption of arsenic-contaminated water has been associated with increased risks of various adverse health effects, such as diabetes, in humans. The small intestinal epithelial cells are the main site of absorption of ingested arsenic, but they are not well characterized for arsenic exposure-related changes. This study identified gene expression changes in the small intestine that may be mechanistically linked to the adverse effects of arsenic exposure and possible interactions between arsenic ingestion and the pharmacokinetics of epoxide-containing drugs in vivo.

Small peptide formulas versus standard polymeric formulas in critically ill patients with acute gastrointestinal injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20469. [PMID: 37993565 PMCID: PMC10665341 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47422-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Small peptide formulas versus standard polymeric formulas for enteral nutrition in critically ill patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) have been a topic of debate. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to compare their clinical and nutritional outcomes. Relevant studies from January 1980 to June 2022 were searched in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases. Randomized controlled trials involving AGI grade I-IV patients were included, while children, non-AGI patients, and non-critically ill patients were excluded. Results indicated no significant difference in all-cause mortality. Patients receiving small peptide formulas showed higher daily protein intake, greater albumin growth, and higher prealbumin levels. They also had shorter lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital. Conversely, patients receiving standard polymeric formulas had a higher daily calorie intake. In conclusion, the choice of formula may not affect mortality in critically ill patients with AGI. Small peptide formulas were more conducive to increase daily protein intake, decrease intensive care unit and hospital length of stay. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials evaluating the effects of these two nutritional formulas on clinical and nutritional outcomes in critically ill patients with AGI are needed to confirm these results.

Obes Surg 2023; 33:3163-3176. [PMID: 37635165 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06768-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current bariatric surgery models primarily utilize mice with obesity, overlooking those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). These models have limitations in replicating clinical procedures accurately and achieving broad applicability. This study aimed to develop novel mouse models of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) surgeries specifically designed for T2DM research, utilizing simplified surgical techniques closely resembling clinical procedures. METHODS Eight-week-old C57/Bl6 mice, except for the Blank-Control group, were induced with T2DM by combining a high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection. RYGB involved creating a 10% gastric pouch, a 4-cm biliopancreatic limb (BL), and a 4-cm Roux limb (RL). Similarly, OAGB maintained a 10% gastric pouch and a 4-cm BL. To assess the efficacy of these models, we measured the body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) and conducted intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT), and liver B-ultrasound, as well as a histopathological analysis of multiple organs 12 weeks post-operation. RESULTS The survival rates in the Blank-Control, T2DM-Sham, T2DM-RYGB, and T2DM-OAGB groups were 100% (6/6), 100% (6/6), 85.7% (6/7), and 100% (6/6), respectively. Both RYGB and OAGB surgeries similarly led to sustained weight loss, reduced the FBG levels, improved the IPGTT and ITT results, and alleviated the histopathological manifestations in multiple organs. CONCLUSION The innovative mouse models of RYGB and OAGB surgeries effectively improve T2DM. Both surgeries demonstrate comparable efficacy in ameliorating T2DM, even when utilizing a gastric pouch of the same size and the same length of BL in OAGB.

Abstract
Essential amino acids (AAs) play a key role in stimulating intestinal adaptation after massive small gut resection. The nutritional effect of dietary amino acids during intestinal regrowth has received considerable attention in recent years. This review explores the significance of dietary amino acids in the nutritional management of infants and children with intestinal failure and short bowel syndrome (SBS) as reported in the medical literature over the last three decades. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases. Breast milk emerged as the first-line enteral regimen recommended for infants with SBS. Hydrolyzed formulas (HFs) or amino acid formulas (AAFs) are recommended when breast milk is not available or if the infant cannot tolerate whole protein milk. The superiority of AAFs over HFs has never been demonstrated. Although glutamine (GLN) is the main fuel for enterocytes, GLN supplementation in infants with SBS showed no difference in the child's dependence upon parenteral nutrition (PN). Circulating citrulline is considered a major determinant of survival and nutritional prognosis of SBS patients. Early enteral nutrition and dietary supplementation of AAs following bowel resection in children are essential for the development of intestinal adaptation, thereby eliminating the need for PN.

Abstract
Attending diligently to the nutrition and hydration needs of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a key tenet of their care, both postoperatively and in the years that follow. For, without each, patients are left to themselves to navigate the nutrition consequences of SBS, including malnutrition, nutrient deficiencies, renal compromise, osteoporosis, fatigue, depression, and impaired quality of life. The intent of this review is to discuss the initial nutrition assessment, oral diet, hydration, and home nutrition support for the patient with SBS.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS)-associated intestinal failure (IF) is a complex, life-threatening condition that requires complex care of multiple factors impacting the patient's long-term prognosis. Various etiologies result in SBS-IF, with three primary anatomical subtypes occurring following intestinal resection. Depending on the extent and segment(s) of the intestine resected, malabsorption can be nutrient specific or sweeping; however, such issues and the associated prognosis for the patient can be predicted with analysis of the residual intestine, along with baseline nutrient and fluid deficits and extent of malabsorption. The provision of parenteral nutrition/intravenous (PN-IV) fluids and antisymptomatic agents is fundamental; however, optimal management should focus on intestinal rehabilitation, wherein intestinal adaptation is prioritized and PN-IV fluids are weaned over time. Key strategies to maximize intestinal adaptation include hyperphagic consumption of an individualized SBS diet and the appropriate use of trophic agents, such as a glucagon-like peptide 2 analog.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common cause of intestinal failure (IF) in childhood remains short bowel syndrome (SBS), where bowel mass is significantly reduced due to a congenital atresia or resection and parenteral nutrition (PN) needed. Home PN has improved outcome and quality of life, but the long-term therapeutic goal is to achieve enteral autonomy whilst avoiding long term complications. This paper is aimed at discussing nutritional strategies available to clinicians caring for these patients. METHODS A literature search was performed from 1992 to 2022 using Pubmed, MEDLINE and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and recent guidelines were reviewed. In the absence of evidence, recommendations reflect the authors' expert opinion. RESULTS Consensus on the best possible way of feeding children with IF-SBS is lacking and practice varies widely between centres. Feeding should commence as soon as possible following surgery. Oral feeding is the preferred route and breast milk (BM) the first milk of choice in infants. Donor BM, standard preterm or term formula are alternatives in the absence of maternal BM. Extensively hydrolysed or amino acid-based feeds are used when these are not tolerated. Solids should be introduced as soon as clinically appropriate. Children are encouraged to eat by mouth and experience different tastes and textures to avoid oral aversion. Aggressive weaning of PN and tube (over-) feeding are now discouraged. CONCLUSIONS To date, uniform agreement on the optimal type of feed, timing of food introduction and feeding regime used is lacking and great difference in practice remains. There is need for more research to establish common treatment protocols.

Abstract
In recent years, the spectrum of possible treatments for Intestinal Failure (IF)-Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) has been enriched by the implementation of GLP-2 analogues. In Italy, teduglutide (Ted), an analogue of GLP-2, was approved in January 2021 by the Italian Regulatory Agency for Drugs (AIFA) for IF-SBS patients ≥1 year old. According to the Agency indications, Ted can now be prescribed by regional reference centers, with costs fully charged to the National Health Service. Following pediatric-use approval in our country and in light of scarce evidence in childhood, the pediatric network for IF of the Italian Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP) planned to share management methods of Ted in pediatric IF. The main purpose was to identify the best candidates from a cost-effective perspective. Thus, focusing on available literature and on expert opinions, the present position statement provides consensus-based recommendations on the use of Ted for pediatric gastroenterologists and nutritionists treating children with SBS.

Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF) secondary to short bowel syndrome is a challenging and complex medical condition with significant risk for surgical and medical complications. Significant advancements in the care of this patient population have led to improved survival rates. Due to their intensive medical needs children with IF are at risk for long-term complications that require comprehensive management and close monitoring. The purpose of this paper is to review the available literature emphasizing the surgical aspects of care for children with IF secondary to short bowel syndrome. A key priority in the surgical care of this patient population includes strategies to preserve available bowel and maximize its function. Utilization of novel surgical techniques and autologous bowel reconstruction can have a significant impact on children with IF secondary to short bowel syndrome related to the function of their bowel and ability to achieve enteral autonomy. It is also important to understand the potential long-term complications to ensure strategies are put in place to mitigate risk with early detection to improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Intestinal failure is a debilitating, complex disorder associated with loss of portions of intestine or loss of intestinal function. Short bowel syndrome is the most common form of intestinal failure and results in inability to maintain nutritional, fluid, and electrolyte status while consuming a regular diet. Nutrition interventions to treat short bowel syndrome include enteral and parenteral nutrition, intestinal rehabilitation techniques to enhance absorptive capacity of remnant bowel, and surgical reconstruction designed to provide more surface area for absorption. These therapies are interrelated services to restore nutritional status through the safest most effective therapy consistent with patient lifestyle and wishes.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the first cause of short bowel syndrome (SBS) in the neonate, is a serious neonatal gastrointestinal disease with an incidence of up to 11% in preterm newborns less than 1500 g of birth weight. The rate of severe NEC requiring surgery remains high, and it is estimated between 20–50%. Newborns who develop SBS need prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN), experience nutrient deficiency, failure to thrive and are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. Prevention of NEC is therefore mandatory to avoid SBS and its associated morbidities. In this regard, nutritional practices seem to play a key role in early life. Individualized medical and surgical therapies, as well as intestinal rehabilitation programs, are fundamental in the achievement of enteral autonomy in infants with acquired SBS. In this descriptive review, we describe the most recent evidence on nutritional practices to prevent NEC, the available tools to early detect it, the surgical management to limit bowel resection and the best nutrition to sustain growth and intestinal function.

Durability of Linear Small-Intestinal Growth Following Treatment Discontinuation of Long-Acting Glucagon-Like Peptide 2 (GLP-2) Analogues. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2020; 45:1466-1474. [PMID: 33241564 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-bowel syndrome is the leading cause of pediatric intestinal failure, resulting in dependency on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). To promote enteral autonomy in neonates, a key outcome may be intestinal growth in length. The purpose of this study was to determine if intestinal lengthening persists following discontinuation of treatment with 1 of 2 GLP-2 analogues with different pharmacokinetic profiles. METHODS Neonatal short-bowel piglets were assigned to saline control (S), 7-day treatment with teduglutide (T) (0.05 mg/kg twice daily), or 7-day treatment with apraglutide (A) (5 mg/kg twice weekly). Comparisons were made between day 7 and day 14 endpoints using analysis of variance. Data included small-intestine length, weight, histology, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of mucosal transcripts for peptide growth factors and their receptors, nutrient transporters, and tight-junction proteins. RESULTS Compared with control, 7 days of GLP-2 analogue treatment induced mucosal adaptation based on villus hyperplasia (P = .003), which was not durable 7 days after treatment cessation (day 14; P = .081). Treatment increased intestinal growth in length by day 7 (P = .005), which was maintained (by T) or further increased (by A) at day 14 (P < .001). No significant differences in mucosal transcripts were detected. CONCLUSION Unlike mucosal adaptation, intestinal growth appears to be a lasting outcome of treatment with long-acting GLP-2 analogues in a neonatal piglet short-bowel model. This has significant clinical implications for neonates, given their potential for intestinal growth. Intestinal lengthening varies between analogues with different half-lives; however, molecular mechanisms require further elucidation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several pathophysiologic changes after the Whipple procedure have been well described, but anemia has not. Post-surgical changes can impede micronutrient absorption. We hypothesize that patients post-pancreatoduodenectomy suffer from iron deficiency anemia. METHODS Patients who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy from 2016 to 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data, including hemoglobin (Hb) levels and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) as well as therapies with chemoradiation, iron, and/or B12 were collected at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery. RESULTS The dataset included 74 patients (median age: 64 years). Mean preoperative Hb and MCV were 11.7 ± 1.9 g/dl and 90.1 ± 7.3 fl, respectively. Significant changes in Hb were noted at 1 and 6 months (11.7 vs 10.9, p = 0.01 and 11.7 vs 11.3, p = 0.003, respectively), and in MCV were noted at 6 and 12 months (90.1 vs 94.6, p = 0.008 and 90.1 vs. 93.7, p = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS All patients remained anemic after pancreatoduodenectomy. This was not linked to chemotherapy. Iron and vitamin B12 supplementation, given in a minority, did not ameliorate the anemia. Future studies should investigate this lack of aid, as nutrient supplementation may be an important change in the standard of care of these patients.

Abstract
Pediatric intestinal failure (IF) is the critical reduction of intestinal mass or function below the amount necessary for normal growth in children. Short-bowel syndrome (SBS) is the most common cause of IF in infants and children and is caused by intestinal resection. Enteral autonomy and freedom from parenteral nutrition is the mainstay of nutrition management in SBS. The goal is to achieve intestinal adaptation while maintaining proper growth and development. Treatment is variable, and there remains a paucity of evidence to draw well-informed conclusions for the care of individuals in this complex population. Physiological principles of enteral nutrition and practical recommendations for advancing the diet of patients with pediatric SBS are presented. Emerging trends in nutrition management, such as the growing interest in blending diets and the impact on SBS, are reviewed. Finally, the influence of the microbiome on enteral tolerance and small bowel bacterial overgrowth are considered.

Abstract
Pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) can require prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN). Over the years, SBS management has been implemented by autologous gastrointestinal reconstructive surgery (AGIR). The primary objective of the present review was to assess the effect of AGIR on weaning off PN. We also evaluated how AGIR impacts survival, the need for transplantation (Tx) and the development of liver disease (LD). We conducted a systematic literature search to identify studies published from January 1999 to the present and 947 patients were identified. PN alone was weakly associated with higher probability of weaning from PN (OR = 1.1, p = 0.03) and of surviving (OR = 1.05, p = 0.01). Adjusting for age, the probability of weaning off PN but of not surviving remained significantly associated with PN alone (OR = 1.08, p = 0.03). Finally, adjusting for age and primary diagnosis (gastroschisis), any association was lost. The prevalence of TX and LD did not differ by groups. In conclusion, in view of the low benefit in terms of intestinal adaptation and of the not negligible rate of complications (20%), a careful selection of candidates for AGIR should be required. Bowel dilation associated with failure of advancing EN and poor growth, should be criteria to refer for AGIR.

Enteral versus parenteral nutrition in the conservative treatment of upper gastrointestinal fistula after surgery: a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, open-label, phase III study (NUTRILEAK study). Trials 2020; 21:448. [PMID: 32487210 PMCID: PMC7265255 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-020-04366-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Postoperative upper gastrointestinal fistula (PUGIF) is a devastating complication, leading to high mortality (reaching up to 80%), increased length of hospital stay, reduced health-related quality of life and increased health costs. Nutritional support is a key component of therapy in such cases, which is related to the high prevalence of malnutrition. In the prophylactic setting, enteral nutrition (EN) is associated with a shorter hospital stay, a lower incidence of severe infectious complications, lower severity of complications and decreased cost compared to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) following major upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. There is little evidence available for the curative setting after fistula occurrence. We hypothesize that EN increases the 30-day fistula closure rate in PUGIF, allowing better health-related quality of life without increasing the morbidity or mortality. Methods/design The NUTRILEAK trial is a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, open-label phase III trial to assess the efficacy of EN (the experimental group) compared with TPN (the control group) in patients with PUGIF. The primary objective of the study is to compare EN versus TPN in the treatment of PUGIF (after esophagogastric resection including bariatric surgery, duodenojejunal resection or pancreatic resection with digestive tract violation) in terms of the 30-day fistula closure rate. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the 6-month postrandomization fistula closure rate, time of first fistula closure (in days), the medical- and surgical treatment-related complication rate at 6 months after randomization, the fistula-related complication rate at 6 months after randomization, the type and severity of early (30 days after randomization) and late fistula-related complications (over 30 days after randomization), 30-day and 6-month postrandomization mortality rate, nutritional status at day 30, day 60, day 90 and day 180 postrandomization, the mean length of hospital stay, the patient’s health-related quality of life (by self-assessment questionnaire), oral feeding time and direct costs of treatment. A total of 321 patients will be enrolled. Discussion The two nutritional supports are already used in daily practice, but most surgeons are reluctant to use the enteral route in case of PUGIF. This study will be the first randomized trial testing the role of EN versus TPN in PUGIF. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03742752. Registered on 14 November 2018.

Abstract
The aim was to test the hypothesis that prenatal under- and overnutrition in late gestation can program small intestinal (SI) growth, angiogenesis, and endocrine function to predispose for a hyperabsorptive state, thereby increasing the susceptibility to the adverse effects of an early postnatal obesogenic diet. Twin-pregnant ewes were exposed to adequate (NORM), LOW (50% of NORM), or HIGH (150% energy and 110% protein of NORM) diets through the last trimester (term ~147 days). From 3 days to 6 months of age, their lambs were fed either a moderate (CONV) or a high-carbohydrate high-fat (HCHF) diet. At 6 months of age, responses in plasma metabolites and insulin to refeeding after fasting were determined and then different segments of the SI were sampled at autopsy. Prenatal overnutrition impacts were most abundant in the duodenum where HIGH had increased villus amplification factor and lowered villi thickness with increased IRS-1 and reduced GH-R expressions. In jejunum, HIGH lambs had an increased expression of Lactate gene and amplified when exposed to HCHF postnatally. Specifically, in LOW, sensitivity to HCHF was affected in ileum. Thus, the mismatching LOW-HCHF nutrition increased expressions of angiogenic genes (VEGF, VEGF-R1, ANGPT1, RTK) and increased mucosa layer (tunica mucosa) thickness but reduced muscle layer (Tunica muscularis) thickness. The SI is a target of prenatal nutritional programming, where late gestation overnutrition increased and shifted digestive capacity for carbohydrates toward the jejunum, whereas late gestation undernutrition predisposed for ileal angiogenesis and carbohydrate and fat hyperabsorptive capacity upon subsequent exposure to postnatal obesogenic diet.

Abstract
Intestinal failure is defined as a critical reduction of the gut mass or function, below the minimum needed to absorb nutrients and fluids. The ultimate goal in intestinal failure is to promote bowel adaptation and reach enteral autonomy while a healthy growth and development is maintained. The condition is heterogeneous and complex. Therefore, recommendations for the type and duration of parenteral, enteral, and oral nutrition are variable, with the child's age as an additional key factor. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of nutritional feeding strategies in this heterogeneous population. Different perspectives on nutritional management, nutrition and adaptation, and microbiome and nutrition will be discussed.

Abstract
Background Lawsonia intracellularis is one of the world’s most important infectious diseases in pork production with regard to economic losses. So far, studies are missing that describe the effects of a natural infection of piglets on the digestibility of nutrients, possible effects on performance and the morphometrics of the intestine depending on whether piglets are vaccinated, clinically healthy or clinically affected with regard to Lawsonia intracellularis induced diarrhoea. Results Digestibility studies were performed on a total of 27 eight-week-old piglets with naturally occurring Lawsonia intracellularis infection in a trial with three repetitions. Nine out of 27 animals were vaccinated as suckling pigs with a commercial Lawsonia intracellularis vaccine (vac; Enterisol®Ileitis). Half of the remaining 18 animals were without clinical signs of infection (non-vac/cs-), half showed moderate clinical signs of Lawsonia intracellularis induced diarrhoea (non-vac/cs+). All three groups were fed one identical complete diet ad libitum. Faecal shedding of Lawsonia intracellularis was found in all groups (25 out of 27 animals). Numerically, the mean excretion in the group non-vac/cs + (7.69 ± 1.65 log10 copies/ g faeces) was higher in comparison to the group non-vac/cs- (5.83 ± 2.35 log10 copies/ g faeces) and vaccinated animals (vac: 6.00 ± 2.89log10 copies/ g faeces). The average daily weight gain (ADG; Ø 8.66 day period) differed significantly (vac: 894a ± 73.3, non-vac/cs-: 857ab ± 86.3, non-vac/cs+: 785b ± 137 g/day). The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nitrogen was significantly lower in clinically affected animals (vac: 83.0a ± 1.72, non-vac/cs-: 83.9a ± 2.03, non-vac/cs+: 80.7b ± 2.57).The total length of the small intestine in clinically affected animals increased significantly (vac: 15.9ab ± 1.57, non-vac/cs-: 14.6b ± 1.12, non-vac/cs+: 16.2a ± 1.37 m). The relative body weight depending on the length of the small intestine was lower for clinically affected animals (vac: 1.72a ± 0.21, non-vac/cs-: 1.83a ± 0.17, non-vac/cs+: 1.56b ± 0.12 kg/m). Conclusion These studies show that clinically moderate L. intracellularis infections lead to significantly lower ADGs in comparison to vaccinated animals. The disease is also found in altered intestinal morphometry and reduced total N digestibility if clinical signs occur.

Abstract
Premature neonates are in an energy deficient state due to (1) oxygen desaturation and hypoxia events, (2) painful and stressful stimuli, (3) illness, and (4) neurodevelopmental energy requirements. Failure to correct energy deficiency in premature infants may lead to adverse effects such as neurodevelopmental delay and negative long-term metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. The effects of energy dysregulation and the challenges that clinicians in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) face in meeting the premature infant's metabolic demands are discussed. Specifically, the focus is on the effects of pain and stress on energy homeostasis. Energy deficiency is a complex problem and requires a multi-faceted solution to promote optimum development of premature infants.

Abstract
Ileocecal resection (ICR), one of several types of intestinal resection that results in short bowel syndrome (SBS), causes severe clinical disease in humans. We here describe a mouse model of massive ICR in which 75% of the distal small intestine is removed. We demonstrate that mice underwent 75% ICR show severe clinical signs and high mortality, which may recapitulate severe forms of human SBS, despite an adaptive response throughout the remnant intestine. By using this model, we also investigated whether the epithelium of the remnant intestine shows enhanced expression of factors involved in region-specific functions of the ileum. Cubn mRNA and its protein product, which play an essential role in vitamin B12 absorption in the ileum, are not compensatory up-regulated in any part of the remnant intestine, demonstrating a clear contrast with post-operative up-regulation of genes involved in bile acid absorption. Our study suggests that functional adaptation by phenotypical changes in the intestinal epithelium is not a general feature for nutrient absorption systems that are confined to the ileum. We also propose that the mouse model developed in this study will become a unique system to facilitate studies on SBS with ICR in humans. Summary: Genes involved in region-specific functions of the distal small intestine show distinct adaptive response following massive ileocecal resection in mice.

Abstract
Primary IF can be due to impaired gut length or impaired gut function; short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of IF. In IF patients complete enteral starvation should be avoided whenever possible and enteral/oral nutrition (EN/ON) should be employed at the maximum tolerated amount in each phase of the clinical evolution of IF. Intraluminal nutrients have stimulatory effects on epithelial cells and on trophism that enhance intestinal adaptation. Areas covered: Evidence for nutritional interventions in pediatric IF is limited and of poor quality. Clinical practice in SBS feeding are more 'experience-based' rather than 'evidence-based' and this dearth of clinical evidence is partly due to the rarity of this condition. This review updates knowledge concerning the impact of the initial diet with EN/ON in neonatal onset SBS in the process of bowel adaption. Expert commentary: Human milk resulted the preferred starting diet and it is generally combined with amino-acids (AAs) in Northern America and with hydrolyzed proteins (HFs) in Europe; polymeric diet is rarely employed. HFs were not more effective than AAs in promoting intestinal adaptation.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the availability of powerful immunosuppressants, many patients with Crohn's disease still require one or more intestinal resections throughout the course of their disease. Multiple resections and a progressive reduction in bowel length can lead to the development of short bowel syndrome, a form of intestinal failure that compromises fluid, electrolyte, and nutrient absorption. The pathophysiology of short bowel syndrome involves a reduction in intestinal surface area, alteration in the enteric hormonal feedback, dysmotility, and related comorbidities. Most patients will initially require parenteral nutrition as a primary or supplemental source of nutrition, although several patients may eventually wean off nutrition support depending on the residual gut anatomy and adherence to medical and nutritional interventions. Available surgical treatments focus on reducing motility, lengthening the native small bowel, or small bowel transplantation. Care of these complex patients with short bowel syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach of physicians, dietitians, and nurses to provide optimal intestinal rehabilitation, nutritional support, and improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
Gut apical amino acid (AA) transport activity is high at birth and during suckling, thus being essential to maintain luminal nutrient-dependent mucosal growth through providing AA as essential metabolic fuel, substrates and nutrient stimuli for cellular growth. Because system-B(0) Na(+)-neutral AA co-transporter (B(0)AT1, encoded by the SLC6A19 gene) plays a dominant role for apical uptake of large neutral AA including L-Gln, we hypothesized that high apical Na(+)-Gln co-transport activity, and B(0)AT1 (SLC6A19) in co-expression with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) were expressed along the entire small intestinal crypt-villus axis in young animals via unique control mechanisms. Kinetics of Na(+)-Gln co-transport activity in the apical membrane vesicles, prepared from epithelial cells sequentially isolated along the jejunal crypt-villus axis from liquid formula-fed young pigs, were measured with the membrane potential being clamped to zero using thiocyanate. Apical maximal Na(+)-Gln co-transport activity was much higher (p < 0.05) in the upper villus cells than in the middle villus (by 29 %) and the crypt (by 30 %) cells, whereas Na(+)-Gln co-transport affinity was lower (p < 0.05) in the upper villus cells than in the middle villus and the crypt cells. The B(0)AT1 (SLC6A19) mRNA abundance was lower (p < 0.05) in the crypt (by 40-47 %) than in the villus cells. There were no significant differences in B(0)AT1 and ACE2 protein abundances on the apical membrane among the upper villus, the middle villus and the crypt cells. Our study suggests that piglet fast growth is associated with very high intestinal apical Na(+)-neutral AA uptake activities via abundantly co-expressing B(0)AT1 and ACE2 proteins in the apical membrane and by transcribing the B(0)AT1 (SLC6A19) gene in the epithelia along the entire crypt-villus axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inactivating mutations in MYO5B cause severe neonatal diarrhea in Microvillus Inclusion Disease. Loss of active MYO5B causes the formation of pathognomonic inclusions and aberrations in brush border enzymes. METHODS We developed three mouse models of germline, constitutively intestinal targeted and inducible intestinal targeted deletion of MYO5B. The mice were evaluated for enterocyte cellular morphology. RESULTS Germline MYO5B KO mice showed early diarrhea and failure to thrive with evident microvillus inclusions and loss of apical transporters in the duodenum. IgG was present within inclusions. Apical transporters were lost and inclusions were present in the duodenum, but were nearly absent in the ileum. VillinCre;MYO5BF/F mice showed similar pathology and morphological changes in duodenal enterocytes. In contrast, when MYO5B KO was induced with tamoxifen treatment at 8 weeks of age, VillinCreERT2;MYO5BF/F mice developed severe diarrhea with loss of duodenal brush border enzymes, but few inclusions were observed in enterocytes. However, if tamoxifen is administered to 2-day-old VillinCreERT2;MYO5BF/F mice, prominent microvillus inclusions were observed. CONCLUSIONS The microvillus inclusions that develop after MYO5B loss reveal the presence of an unrecognized apical membrane trafficking pathway in neonatal duodenal enterocytes. However, the diarrheal pathology after MYO5B loss is due to deficits in transporter presentation at the apical membrane in duodenal enterocytes.

Abstract
Despite an extensive body of reported information about peripheral and central mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of IBS symptoms, no comprehensive disease model has emerged that would guide the development of novel, effective therapies. In this Review, we will first describe novel insights into some key components of brain-gut interactions, starting with the emerging findings of distinct functional and structural brain signatures of IBS. We will then point out emerging correlations between these brain networks and genomic, gastrointestinal, immune and gut-microbiome-related parameters. We will incorporate this new information, as well as the reported extensive literature on various peripheral mechanisms, into a systems-based disease model of IBS, and discuss the implications of such a model for improved understanding of the disorder, and for the development of more-effective treatment approaches in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teduglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue, is available for long-term use by parenteral nutrition (PN)-dependent adults to promote intestinal adaptation but is not approved for use in pediatric patients. The objective of this study was to assess teduglutide-stimulated induced intestinal adaptation, potential synergies with partial enteral nutrition (PEN), and distinct temporal markers of adaptation in a neonatal piglet model of short bowel syndrome (SBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Neonatal piglets (48 hours old; n = 72) underwent an 80% jejunoileal resection and were randomized to 1 of 4 treatment groups, in a 2 × 2 factorial design, with PN or PEN (80% standard PN/20% standard enteral nutrition) and teduglutide (0.1 mg/kg/d) or control. Piglets received nutrient infusions for 4 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. RESULTS Teduglutide improved ( P < .05) mucosal surface area (villus height: duodenum, jejunum, ileum; crypt depth: ileum, colon; proliferation: duodenum, jejunum, ileum; colon; apoptosis: jejunum, ileum, colon) and acute nutrient processing capacity (glucose: duodenum, jejunum, ileum; glutamine: duodenum, jejunum). These effects were complemented and synergistically enhanced by PEN in both site and timing of action. Structural adaptations preceded functional adaptations, but crypt depth remained a strong indicator of adaptation, regardless of time. CONCLUSIONS The combination of teduglutide and PEN enhances intestinal adaptation beyond that of either therapy alone.

Abstract
Bariatric surgical procedures such as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most potent treatments available to produce sustained reductions in body weight and improvements in glucose regulation. While traditionally these effects are attributed to mechanical aspects of these procedures, such as restriction and malabsorption, a growing body of evidence from mouse models of these procedures points to physiological changes that mediate the potent effects of these surgeries. In particular, there are similar changes in gut hormone secretion, bile acid levels, and composition after both of these procedures. Moreover, loss of function of the nuclear bile acid receptor (FXR) greatly diminishes the effects of VSG. Both VSG and RYGB are linked to profound changes in the gut microbiome that also mediate at least some of these surgical effects. We hypothesize that surgical rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract results in enteroplasticity caused by the high rate of nutrient presentation and altered pH in the small intestine that contribute to these physiological effects. Identifying the molecular underpinnings of these procedures provides new opportunities to understand the relationship of the gastrointestinal tract to obesity and diabetes as well as new therapeutic strategies to harness the effectiveness of surgery with less-invasive approaches.

Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF), due to short bowel syndrome (SBS), results from surgical resection of a major portion of the intestine, leading to reduced nutrient absorption and need for parenteral nutrition (PN). The incidence is highest in infants and relates to preterm birth, necrotizing enterocolitis, atresia, gastroschisis, volvulus, and aganglionosis. Patient outcomes have improved, but there is a need to develop new therapies for SBS and to understand intestinal adaptation after different diseases, resection types, and nutritional and pharmacological interventions. Animal studies are needed to carefully evaluate the cellular mechanisms, safety, and translational relevance of new procedures. Distal intestinal resection, without a functioning colon, results in the most severe complications and adaptation may depend on the age at resection (preterm, term, young, adult). Clinically relevant therapies have recently been suggested from studies in preterm and term PN-dependent SBS piglets, with or without a functional colon. Studies in rats and mice have specifically addressed the fundamental physiological processes underlying adaptation at the cellular level, such as regulation of mucosal proliferation, apoptosis, transport, and digestive enzyme expression, and easily allow exogenous or genetic manipulation of growth factors and their receptors (e.g., glucagon-like peptide 2, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1, epidermal growth factor, keratinocyte growth factor). The greater size of rats, and especially young pigs, is an advantage for testing surgical procedures and nutritional interventions (e.g., PN, milk diets, long-/short-chain lipids, pre- and probiotics). Conversely, newborn pigs (preterm or term) and weanling rats provide better insights into the developmental aspects of treatment for SBS in infants owing to their immature intestines. The review shows that a balance among practical, economical, experimental, and ethical constraints will determine the choice of SBS model for each clinical or basic research question.

Abstract
Nutritional deficiency and stress can severely impair intestinal architecture, integrity and host immune defense, leading to increased susceptibility to infection and cancer. Although the intestine has an inherent capability to adapt to environmental stress, the molecular mechanisms by which the intestine senses and responds to malnutrition are not completely understood. We hereby report that intestinal cell kinase (ICK), a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase, is a novel component of the adaptive cell signaling responses to protein malnutrition in murine small intestine. Using an experimental mouse model, we demonstrated that intestinal ICK protein level was markedly and transiently elevated upon protein deprivation, concomitant with activation of prominent pro-proliferation and pro-survival pathways of Wnt/β-catenin, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) as well as increased expression of intestinal stem cell markers. Using the human ileocecal epithelial cell line HCT-8 as an invitro model, we further demonstrated that serum starvation was able to induce up-regulation of ICK protein in intestinal epithelial cells in a reversible manner, and that serum albumin partially contributed to this effect. Knockdown of ICK expression in HCT-8 cells significantly impaired cell proliferation and down-regulated active β-catenin signal. Furthermore, reduced ICK expression in HCT-8 cells induced apoptosis through a caspase-dependent mechanism. Taken together, our findings suggest that increased ICK expression/activity in response to protein deprivation likely provides a novel protective mechanism to limit apoptosis and support compensatory mucosal growth under nutritional stress.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome develops when the remnant mass of functioning enterocytes following massive resections cannot support growth or maintain fluid–electrolyte balance and requires parenteral nutrition. Resection itself stimulates the intestine’s inherent ability to adapt morphologically and functionally. The capacity to change is very much related to the high turnover rate of enterocytes and is mediated by several signals; these signals are mediated in large part by enteral nutrition. Early initiation of enteral feeding, close clinical monitoring, and ongoing assessment of intestinal adaptation are key to the prevention of irreversible intestinal failure. The length of the functional small bowel remnant is the most important variable affecting outcome. The major objective of intestinal rehabilitation programs is to achieve early oral nutritional autonomy while maintaining normal growth and nutrition status and minimizing total parenteral nutrition related comorbidities such as chronic progressive liver disease. Remarkable progress has been made in terms of survivability and quality of life, especially in the context of coordinated multidisciplinary programs, but much work remains to be done.

Abstract
The human small intestine is organized with a proximal-to-distal gradient of mucosal structure and nutrient processing capacity. However, certain nutrients undergo site-specific digestion and absorption, such as iron and folate in the duodenum/jejunum vs vitamin B12 and bile salts in the ileum. Intestinal resection can result in short bowel syndrome (SBS) due to reduction of total and/or site-specific nutrient processing areas. Depending on the segment(s) of intestine resected, malabsorption can be nutrient specific (eg, vitamin B12 or fat) or sweeping, with deficiencies in energy, protein, and various micronutrients. Jejunal resections are generally better tolerated than ileal resections because of greater postresection adaptive capacity than that of the jejunum. Following intestinal resection, energy scavenging and fluid absorption become particularly important in the colon owing to loss of digestive and absorptive surface area in the resection portion. Resection-induced alterations in enteroendocrine cell abundance can further disrupt intestinal function. For example, patients with end jejunostomy have depressed circulating peptide YY and glucagon-like peptide 2 concentrations, which likely contribute to the rapid intestinal transit and blunted intestinal adaptation observed in this population. SBS-associated pathophysiology often extends beyond the gastrointestinal tract, with hepatobiliary disease, metabolic bone disease, D-lactic acidosis, and kidney stone formation being chronic complications. Clinical management of SBS must be individualized to account for the specific nutrient processing deficit within the remnant bowel and to mitigate potential complications, both inside and outside the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that high-fat diet (HFD) enhances adaptation if provided immediately following small bowel resection (SBR). The purpose of this study was to determine if HFD could further enhance villus growth after resection-induced adaptation had already taken place. C57/Bl6 mice underwent a 50 % proximal SBR or sham operation and were then provided a standard rodent liquid diet (LD) ad lib. After a typical period of adaptation (7 days), SBR and sham-operated mice were randomized to receive either LD or HFD (42 % kcal fat) for an additional 7 days. Mice were then harvested, and small intestine was collected for analysis. Adaptation occurred in both SBR groups; however, the SBR/HFD had significantly increased villus height compared to SBR/LD. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of villus enterocytes showed a marked increase in CD36 expression in the SBR/HFD group compared with SBR/LD mice. While exposure to increased enteral fat alone did not affect villus morphology in sham-operated mice, HFD significantly increased villus growth in the setting of resection-induced adaptation, supporting the clinical utility of enteral fat in augmenting adaptation. Increased expression of CD36 suggests a possible mechanistic role in dietary fat metabolism and villus growth in the setting of short gut syndrome.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and signaling can induce cellular protection after intestinal inflammation. L-Glutamine (GLN) is known to prevent apoptosis after intestinal injury by activating MAPK and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/Akt pathways. However, the role of EGFR expression and signaling in GLN-mediated cellular protection in intestinal epithelial-6 (IEC-6) cells after heat stress (HS) is unknown. To address the role of EGFR in GLN-mediated protection, IEC-6 cells were treated with GLN in the presence or absence of EGFR small interfering RNA, the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG1478, the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580, or the PI3-K/Akt inhibitor LY294002 under basal and HS conditions. GLN-mediated cell survival was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay. Phosphorylated and/or total levels of EGFR, cleaved caspase-3, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1, ERK1/2, p38MAPK, and Akt were assessed by Western blotting. We showed that HS induced a decrease in total, cytoplasmic, and nuclear EGFR levels in IEC-6 cells, which was prevented by GLN supplementation, leading to attenuated apoptosis via EGFR small interfering RNA. Furthermore, the protective effect of GLN was lessened by AG1478, PD98059, and LY294002 but was not affected by SB203580. AG1478 attenuated GLN-mediated increases in ERK1/2 and decreases in p38MAPK phosphorylation. However, AG1478 had no effect on GLN-mediated augmentations in Akt phosphorylation. In summary, EGFR expression was important in the protective mechanism of GLN, as well as GLN-mediated activation of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. GLN-mediated EGFR signaling activated ERK1/2 and decreased p38MAPK signaling. However, GLN-mediated Akt phosphorylation after HS seems to be independent of EGFR signaling.

Abstract
Weight regain after a long-term weight-loss program is a greater problem in obesity treatment than is weight reduction. Hence, the gut may elevate the absorption rate and nutrient transportation remarkably during chronic food restriction. The extension of gut absorption may be one possible reason for weight regain. But there is little information about the mechanisms that regulate intestinal absorption during food restriction. In this study, we show that the surface absorptive areas of gut villi may be enlarged in the jejunum of rats maintained on a food restriction regimen compared with animals submitted to swimming or sedentary behavior. Our findings show that simply reducing the amount of food intake results in an increased appetite accompanied with obvious weight regain, and suggest that the resulting enlargement of villi surface areas plays a key role in the regain of weight reduction. These results bolster accumulating evidence that gut absorption may be a substantial mechanism for resistance of weight loss and enhancing the weight regain process.

Abstract
Dietary nutrients are essential for gastrointestinal (GI) growth and function, and nutritional support of GI growth and development is a significant component of infant care. For healthy full-term neonates, nutritional provisions of the mother's milk and/or formula will support normal maturation of structure and function of the GI tract in most infants. The composition of breast milk affects GI barrier function and development of a competent mucosal immune system. The functional nutrients and other bioactive components of milk support a microenvironment for gut protection and maturation. However, premature infants struggle with feeding tolerance impairing normal GI function, leading to intestinal dysfunction and even death. The high prevalence worldwide of enteric diseases and dysfunction in neonates has led to much interest in understanding the role of nutrients and food components in the establishment and maintenance of a functioning GI tract. Neonates who do not receive enteral feeding as either mother's milk or formula are supported by total parental nutrition (TPN). The lack of enteral nutrition can compound intestinal dysfunction, leading to high morbidity and mortality in intestinally compromised infants. Reciprocally, enteral stimulation of an immature GI tract can also compound intestinal dysfunction. Therefore, further understanding of nutrient interactions with the mucosa is necessary to define nutritional requirements of the developing GI tract to minimize intestinal complications and infant morbidity. Piglet models of intestinal development and function are similar to humans, and this review summarizes recent findings regarding nutrient requirements for growth and maintenance of intestinal health. In particular, this article reviews the role of specific amino acids (arginine, glutamine, glutamate, and threonine), fatty acids (long chain polyunsaturated, medium chain, and short chain), various prebiotic carbohydrates (short-chain fructo-oligosaccharide, fructo--oligosaccharide, lacto-N-neotetraose, human milk oligosaccharide, polydextrose, and galacto-oligosaccharide), and probiotics that have been examined in the suckling piglet model of intestinal health.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to play an important role in cell apoptosis. However, the mechanisms of Ang-II-induced apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells are not fully understood. GATA-6 is a zinc finger transcription factor expressed in the colorectal epithelium, which directs cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. In the present study we investigated the underlying mechanism of which GATA-6 affects Ang-II induced apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells. The in vitro intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis model was established by co-culturing Caco-2 cells with Ang II. Pretreatment with Angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptor antagonist, PD123319, significantly reduced the expression of Bax and prevented the Caco-2 cells apoptosis induced by Ang II. In addition, Ang II up-regulated the expression of GATA-6. Interestingly, GATA-6 short hairpin RNA prevented Ang II-induced intestinal epithelial cells apoptosis and reduced the expression of Bax, but not Bcl-2. Taken together, the present study suggests that Angiotensin II promotes apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells through GATA-6 and the Bax pathway in an AT2 receptor-dependent manner.

Abstract
The occasion of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 33rd Presidential Address was used to glean wisdom and inspiration from the ileum. Not only is this intestinal segment so central to the chief organ involved in specialized nutrition support, but it is a complex, yet elegant system that: (1) is interdisciplinary with actions coordinated to achieve a common goal; (2) looks to the future by mentoring the next generation of leaders; (3) constantly seeks evidence of its effectiveness and accordingly adjusts its practice; and (4) strategically forges synergistic partnerships with other habitants within its environment. As relevant within many other realms, it remains true that much can be learned from looking within.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of young mammals is submitted to aggressions early in life and GIT stress proteins are up-regulated in pigs following weaning. We hypothesized that transient food deprivation may contribute to these changes. Therefore, the effects of fasting and refeeding on GIT stress proteins in weaned pigs were investigated. A complete block experimental design with three groups of five pigs each was set up with the following treatments: A - food offered, B - fasted for 1.5 days, C - fasted for 1.5 days and then re-fed for 2.5 days. After slaughter, the GIT was removed, weighed and sampled. Intestinal villi and crypts were measured and alkaline phosphatase activity was determined. GIT tissue stress protein concentrations were measured by Western blotting. Fasting led to intestinal mucosa and villous-crypt atrophy (p < 0.01) and reduced mucosal alkaline phosphatase total activity in the proximal small intestine (p < 0.05). Heat shock proteins HSP 27 and HSP 90 (but not HSP 70) and neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) increased (p < 0.01) in the stomach, mid-intestine and proximal colon with fasting. Inducible NOS (iNOS) did so in the stomach (p < 0.001). Refeeding partially or totally restored GIT characteristics and stress protein concentrations, except for gastric HSP 90 and iNOS. Significant correlations (p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001) were found among stress proteins, between nNOS and digesta weight, between HSP 27 or HSP 90 and intestinal mucosa weight, and between intestinal or colonic HSP or nNOS and alkaline phosphatase. In conclusion, fasting and refeeding modulate GIT HSP proteins and nNOS in pigs following weaning. Changes in digesta and intestinal mucosa weights and alkaline phosphatase activity may be involved in the modulation of stress proteins along the GIT.

Abstract
After loss of intestinal surface area, the remaining bowel undergoes a morphometric and functional adaptive response. Enterocytic expression of the transcriptional coregulator tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate induced sequence 7 (Tis7) is markedly increased in a murine model of intestinal adaptation. Mice overexpressing Tis7 in intestine have greater triglyceride absorption and weight gain when fed a high-fat diet (42% energy) than their wild-type (WT) littermates fed the same diet. These and other data suggest that Tis7 has a unique role in nutrient absorptive and metabolic adaptation. Herein, male Tis7(-/-) and WT mice were fed a high-fat diet (42% energy) for 8 wk. Weight was monitored and metabolic analyses and hepatic and intestinal lipid concentrations were compared after 8 wk. Intestinal lipid absorption and metabolism studies and intestinal resection surgeries were performed in separate groups of Tis7(-/-) and WT mice. At 8 wk, weight gain was less and jejunal mucosal and hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations were lower in Tis7(-/-) mice than in the WT controls. Following corn oil gavage, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and FFA concentrations were lower in the Tis7(-/-) mice than in the WT mice. Incorporation of oral (3)[H] triolein into intestinal mucosal cholesterol ester and FFA was less in Tis7(-/-) compared with WT mice. Following resection, crypt cell proliferation rates and villus heights were lower in Tis7(-/-) than in WT mice, indicating a blunted adaptive response. Our results suggest a novel physiologic function for Tis7 in the gut as a global regulator of lipid absorption and metabolism and epithelial cell proliferation.

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 2010; 64:602-7. [PMID: 20864423 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjps.2010.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2010] [Revised: 07/21/2010] [Accepted: 08/20/2010] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Free jejunal flap reconstruction is the main treatment for patients after pharyngo-oesophagectomy. Flaps are unavoidably subjected to ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) during preparation. Enteral nutrition has been shown to improve the recovery of injured intestine, although the precise underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study was aimed to determine whether early enteral 5% glucose infusion is beneficial for the recovery of flap. Further, the possibility that enteral glucose infusion induces altered mucosal responses was evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients, who underwent free jejunal flap reconstructions after pharyngo-oesophagectomy, were enrolled. An externalised monitor loop was made to observe the viability of flap and to collect intestinal fluid. Control patients (n = 11) received peripheral parenteral nutrition for seven post-operation days. For early enteral-fed patients (n = 12), in addition to fluid infusion, administration of 5% glucose (25 ml h(-1)) via a jejunostomy tube was initiated 6h after surgery. Blood, flap fluid and mucosal specimens were harvested. Plasma and flap luminal levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) were measured. Further, mucosal morphology was examined. RESULTS There were no significant differences in either plasma or luminal concentrations of IL-6, IL-10 and sIgA at different time points between groups. The luminal EGF level in the control group reduced markedly from the 3rd postoperative day, contrasting with a well-maintained level in the early enteral-fed group. No significant difference in mucosal histology between groups was observed. CONCLUSION Early enteral glucose infusion does not significantly benefit the ischaemia-reperfusion-injured flap; however, it does preserve EGF levels in the flap lumen.

Abstract
PURPOSE The signals that govern the upregulation of nutrient absorption (adaptation) after intestinal resection are not well understood. A Gastric Roux-en-Y bypass (GRYB) model was used to isolate the relative contributions of direct mucosal stimulation by nutrients, biliary-pancreatic secretions, and systemic enteric hormones on intestinal adaptation in short bowel syndrome. METHODS Male rats (350-400 g; n = 8/group) underwent sham or GRYB with pair feeding and were observed for 14 days. Weight and serum hormonal levels (glucagon-like peptide-2 [GLP-2], PYY) were quantified. Adaptation was assessed by intestinal morphology and crypt cell kinetics in each intestinal limb of the bypass and the equivalent points in the sham intestine. Mucosal growth factors and expression of transporter proteins were measured in each limb of the model. RESULTS The GRYB animals lost weight compared to controls and exhibited significant adaptive changes with increased bowel width, villus height, crypt depth, and proliferation indices in the alimentary and common intestinal limbs. Although the biliary limb did not adapt at the mucosa, it did show an increased bowel width and crypt cell proliferation rate. The bypass animals had elevated levels of systemic PYY and GLP-2. At the mucosal level, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) increased in all limbs of the bypass animals, whereas keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) had variable responses. The expression of the passive transporter of glucose, GLUT-2, expression was increased, whereas GLUT-5 was unchanged in all limbs of the bypass groups. Expression of the active mucosal transporter of glucose, SGLT-1 was decreased in the alimentary limb. CONCLUSIONS Adaptation occurred maximally in intestinal segments stimulated by nutrients. Partial adaptation in the biliary limb may reflect the effects of systemic hormones. Mucosal content of IGF-1, bFGF, and EGF appear to be stimulated by systemic hormones, potentially GLP-2, whereas KGF may be locally regulated. Further studies to examine the relationships between the factors controlling nutrient-induced adaptation are suggested. Direct contact with nutrients appears to be the most potent factor in inducing mucosal adaptation.
