Abstract
Intestinal transplantation is a life-saving procedure utilized for patients failing total parenteral nutrition. However, intestinal transplantattion remains plagued with low survival rates and high risk of allograft rejection. The authors explore roles of innate (macrophages, natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells) and adaptive immune cells (Th1, Th2, Th17, Tregs) in inflammatory responses, particularly inflammatory bowel disease and graft versus host disease, and correlate these findings to intestinal allograft rejection, highlighting which effectors exacerbate or suppress intestinal rejection. Better understanding of this immunology can open further investigation into potential biomolecular targets to develop improved therapeutic treatment options and immunomonitoring techniques to combat allograft rejection and enhance patient lives.

Abstract
Transplantation of the liver in combination with other organs is an increasingly performed procedure. Over the years, continuous improvement in survival could be realized through careful patient selection and refined organ preservation techniques, in spite of the challenges posed by aging recipients and donors, as well as the increased use of steatotic liver grafts. Herein, we revisit the epidemiology, allocation policies in different transplant zones, indications, and outcomes with regard to simultaneous organ transplants involving the liver, that is combined heart-liver, liver-lung, liver-kidney, and multivisceral transplantation. We address challenges surrounding combined organ transplantation such as equity, utility, and logistics of dual organ implantation, but also advantages that come along with combined transplantation, thereby focusing on molecular mechanisms underlying immunoprotection provided by the liver to the other allografts. In addition, the current standing and knowledge of machine perfusion in combined organ transplantation, mostly based on center experience, will be reviewed. Notwithstanding all the technical advances, shortage of organs, and the lack of universal eligibility criteria for certain multi-organ combinations are hurdles that need to be tackled in the future.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving procedure conducted to maintain a proper nutritional state in patients with severe intestinal failure who cannot be fed orally. A serious complication of PN therapy is liver failure, known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). The pathogenesis of IFALD is multifactorial and includes inhibition of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) by PN components, bacteria translocation from impaired intestines, and intravenous line-associated bloodstream infection. Currently, the most frequently researched therapeutic option for IFALD is using lipid emulsions based on soy or fish oil and, therefore, free from phytosterols known as FXR antagonists. Nevertheless, the potential side effects of the lack of soybean oil delivery seem to outweigh the benefits, especially in the pediatric population. PN admixture provides all the necessary nutrients; however, it is deprived of exogenous natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) of plant origin, such as polyphenols, characterized by health-promoting properties. Among them, many substances have already been known to demonstrate the hepatoprotective effect in various liver diseases. Therefore, searching for new therapeutic options for IFALD among NBCs seems reasonable and potentially successful. This review summarizes the recent research on polyphenols and their use in treating various liver diseases, especially metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver diseases (MASLD). Furthermore, based on scientific reports, we have described the molecular mechanism of action of selected NBCs that exert hepatoprotective properties. We also summarized the current knowledge on IFALD pathogenesis, described therapeutic options undergoing clinical trials, and presented the future perspective of the potential use of NBCs in PN therapy.

Abstract
Outcomes for patients with chronic intestinal failure have improved with organization of experts into multidisciplinary teams delivering care in intestinal rehabilitation programs. There have been improvements in understanding of intestinal failure complications as well as development of newer therapies that have amplified the improvements in survival. In spite of this encouraging trend, patients who fail PN are often referred too late for intestinal transplantation. The author proposes a more rational framework that might allow earlier identification of intestinal failure patients at risk for PN-failure, who could appropriately be considered earlier for intestinal transplantation with improvements in overall outcomes.

Abstract
Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a relatively common complication in individuals receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). IFALD can be manifested as different types of liver injury, including steatosis, cholestasis, and fibrosis, and could result in liver failure in some cases. The onset and progression of IFALD are highly dependent on various patient and PN-related risk factors. Despite still being under investigation, several mechanisms have been proposed. Liver injury can originate due to caloric overload, nutrient deficiency, and toxicity, as well as phytosterol content, and omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids ratio contained in lipid emulsions. Additional mechanisms include immature or defective bile acid metabolism, acute heart failure, infections, and sepsis exerting negative effects via Toll-like receptor 4 and nuclear factor κB inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, lack of enteral feeding, gut dysbiosis, and altered enterohepatic circulation that affect the farnesoid x receptor-fibroblast growth factor 19 axis can also contribute to IFALD. Various best practices can be adopted to minimize the risk of developing IFALD, such as prevention and management of central line infections and sepsis, preservation of intestine's length, a switch to oral and enteral feeding, cyclic PN, avoidance of overfeeding and soybean oil-based lipid formulations, and avoiding hepatotoxic substances. The present review thus provides a comprehensive overview of all relevant aspects inherent to IFALD. Further research focused on clinical observations, translational models, and advanced toxicological knowledge frameworks is needed to gain more insight into the molecular pathogenesis of hepatotoxicity, reduce IFALD incidence, and encourage the safe use of PN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After intestinal transplantation, close allograft monitoring especially during the early postoperative period is crucial since the intestine is a highly immunogenic organ. Current protocols are based on endoscopic and histologic examination with the latter one being linked to the risk of bleeding and perforation. AIMS Evaluation of the diagnostic value of endoscopy utilizing magnification to predict acute cellular rejection compared to routine allograft biopsies. METHODS Fourteen patients underwent the protocol with longitudinal zoom endoscopic and histological graft monitoring during the first year after transplantation. The intestinal mucosa was analyzed during endoscopy utilizing the SASAKI score while a minimum of two biopsies were taken during each examination. A new graduation of severity for acute cellular rejection based on the findings of the SASAKI score is established. RESULTS Endoscopic findings of 385 examinations and more than 1000 intestinal allograft biopsies were analyzed. A total of 7 acute cellular rejection episodes in 6/14 patients occurred. Allograft endoscopy was able to diagnose ACR with a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 82%. CONCLUSIONS Our results will be critical for refining protocols for allograft monitoring after intestinal transplantation thus paving the way towards less invasive measures.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess whether the autologous internal iliac artery and vein could be used as an interpositional graft for vascular reconstruction in segmental intestinal allografts and autografts. Methods Thirty-four intestinal transplants (19 living-related allografts and 15 autografts) were conducted in our programs between January 2011 and January 2019. Patient characteristics, type of vascular reconstruction, and post-operative complications were reviewed. Results There were 20 males and 14 females with a median age of 35 years. Of 34 grafts, 22 (64.7%) (11 allografts and 11 autografts) were revascularized using the autologous internal iliac artery and vein for reconstruction. Vascular reconstruction on the back table took 21 ± 6 min to complete. Both total operative time and cold ischemia time tended to be longer in the vascular-reconstruction group than in the direct-anastomosis group (530 ± 226 vs 440 ± 116 and 159 ± 49 vs 125 ± 66 min, respectively), but these differences were not significant. The incidence of vascular thrombosis tended to be higher in the direct-anastomosis group than in the vascular-reconstruction group (16.7% vs 0%, P = 0.118). At a median follow-up of 36.9 months, no stenosis or pseudoaneurysms developed. In 19 allografts, acute rejection occurred in 4 (21.1%) and chronic rejection occurred in 1 (5.2%). Conclusions Our results indicate that the use of an autologous internal iliac interposition graft greatly facilitates intestinal graft implantation and minimizes the risk of vascular complications.

Abstract
Our aim was to analyze the outcomes in children with short-bowel syndrome (SBS), parenteral nutrition dependence (PND), and intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) treated in our Intestinal Rehabilitation Program (IRP) during 2007-2018. We retrospectively reviewed charts of 135 patients with SBS-PND at the time of enrollment in IRP; of these, 89 (66%) had IFALD, defined as conjugated bilirubin (CB) of ≥2 mg/dl at enrollment and/or abnormal liver biopsy showing stage 2-4 fibrosis. Outcomes included resolution of CB, enteral autonomy, laboratory parameters (platelets, aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index), growth trends, transplant rates, and mortality. Of the 89 patients, 74 had elevated CB at enrollment; the other 15 had normalized CB but had fibrosis on liver biopsy. Thirty-eight patients had liver biopsies: 36 (95%) had fibrosis, including 21/36 with bridging fibrosis/cirrhosis. The median proportion of residual small bowel was 23% (interquartile range, 13%-38%) of the expected length for age and median, daily energy requirement by PN was 100%. Two received a transplant, three died (one posttransplant), and the remaining 85 survived; 69 (81%) achieved enteral autonomy. Seventy-three (99%) of the 74 patients with hyperbilirubinemia normalized their CB with medical treatment. In a subset of eight of 89 patients with initial platelet count of <100,000/μl(median 50,500/μl) and median CB of 21 mg/dl, seven achieved CB normalization and had improved platelet count. Overall survival was 97% (censored 96.3%). We demonstrate high transplant-free survival and enteral autonomy rates among children with SBS-IFALD relying on low-dose soybean lipid emulsion.

Abstract
Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) remains one of the most common and serious complications of parenteral nutrition (PN), causing a wide spectrum of hepatic manifestations from steatosis and mild cholestasis to portal hypertension and end-stage liver failure. The prevalence of IFALD depends on the diagnostic criteria and ranges from 4.3% to 65%. Moreover, many factors are shown to contribute to its development, including nutrient deficiencies, toxicity of PN, infections, and alterations of bile acid metabolism and gut microbiota. Prevention and management of IFALD aim at ameliorating or eliminating the risk factors associated with IFALD. The use of PN formulations with a lower ratio omega-6-to-omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, cycle PN, optimization of enteral stimulation and prevention and early treatment of infections constitute the main therapeutic targets. However, failure of improvement and severe IFALD with end-stage liver failure should be considered as the indications of intestinal transplantation. The aim of this review is to provide an update of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of IFALD in the adult population as well as to present a clinical approach of the therapeutic strategies of IFALD and present novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Autoimmune enteropathy is a rare disease characterized by chronic watery diarrhea, weight loss, and immune-mediated injury of the enterocolic mucosa. The clinicopathologic findings of this disease are variable, and timely diagnosis is challenging. It is usually managed medically. If medical management fails, surgical intervention is considered. This is a case report of a patient with autoimmune enteropathy mimicking collagenous enterocolitis. A 55-year-old man developed intestinal failure that manifested as profuse watery diarrhea, electrolyte disturbances, and weight loss. Initially, he was diagnosed with collagenous enterocolitis based on pathologic findings. Medical interventions were started, but the patient failed to show improvement. At 13 months after the onset of the disease, he was listed for isolated intestine transplantation (IITX) for intestinal failure. A healthy donor graft became available. IITX with chimney colostomy was performed. Based on the pathologic findings of the excised native small intestine, the patient was diagnosed with severe autoimmune enteropathy. The postoperative course was uneventful. By the third postoperative week, a full diet was tolerated and parenteral nutrition (PN) was weaned to end. He was discharged on postoperative day 34. Since discharge, he has been off PN, remaining on an enteral diet. This case is the first reported IITX performed on a patient with severe autoimmune enteropathy that was both curative and lifesaving. The present case confirms that IITX promptly restores gastrointestinal absorption in medically refractory autoimmune enteropathy. This observation provides clinicians with an effective treatment option in this challenging group of patients.

Abstract
Despite improved outcomes in the modern era of targeted immunotherapy, intestinal failure and chronic parenteral nutrition remains a significant burden for patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) worldwide. Transplantation is a key component of management when a patient with CD suffers from life-threatening complications of parenteral nutrition. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) mutation is a risk factor for both development of CD and intestinal allograft rejection.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Feeding Guidelines for Infants Following Intestinal Surgery. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2020; 70:657-663.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of postoperative feeding guidelines to reduce complications in infants with intestinal surgery compared to standard feeding practices. METHODS Using outcomes from a cohort study, Markov models from health care and societal perspectives simulated costs per hospitalization among infants fed via guidelines versus standard practice. Short-term outcomes included intestinal failure-associated liver disease, necrotizing enterocolitis after feeding, sepsis, and mortality. Effectiveness was measured as length of stay. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) compared cost over length of stay. Univariate and multivariate probabilistic sensitivity analyses with 10,000 Monte Carlo Simulations were performed. A second decision tree model captured the cost per quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) using utilities associated with long-term outcomes (liver cirrhosis and transplantation). RESULTS In the hospital perspective, standard feeding had a cost of $31,258,902 and 8296 hospital days, and the feeding guidelines had a cost of $29,295,553 and 8096 hospital days. The ICER was $-9832 per hospital stay with guideline use. More than 90% of the ICERs were in the dominant quadrant. Results were similar for the societal perspective. Long-term costs and utilities in the guideline group were $2830 and 0.91, respectively, versus $4030 and 0.90, resulting in an ICER of $-91,756/QALY. CONCLUSION In our models, feeding guideline use resulted in cost savings and reduction in hospital stay in the short-term and cost savings and an increase in QALYs in the long-term. Using a systematic approach to feed surgical infants appears to reduce costly complications, but further data from a larger cohort are needed.

Abstract
Premature infants and children with intestinal failure (IF) or short bowel syndrome are susceptible to intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD, previously referred to as parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease, or PNALD). IFALD in children is characterized by progressive cholestasis and biliary fibrosis, and steatohepatitis in adults, and is seen in individuals dependent upon prolonged administration of PN. Many factors have been proposed as contributing to the pathogenesis of IFALD. In recent years, the focus has been on the potential synergistic roles of the intestinal microbiome, increased intestinal permeability, activation of hepatic innate immune pathways, and the use of intravenous soybean-oil-based intravenous lipid emulsions (SO-ILE). In vitro and in vivo studies have identified stigmasterol, a component of the plant sterols present in SO-ILE, as playing an important role. Although various strategies have been adopted to prevent or reverse IFALD, most suffer from a lack of strong evidence supported by well-designed, prospective clinical trials with clearly defined endpoints. Reduction in the amount of SO-ILEs or replacement with non-SO-ILEs has been shown to reverse IFALD although safety and long-term effectiveness have not been studied. Medical and surgical modalities to increase intestinal adaptation, advance enteral feedings, and prevent central line bloodstream infections are also important preventative strategies. There is a continued need to conduct high-quality, prospective trials with clearly define outcome measures to ascertain the potential benefits of these strategies.

Abstract
Combining HSCT with SOT is an unusual and challenging undertaking given the complexities of immune modulation, the need to balance comorbidities, and the cumulative potential for complications. Early life-threatening complications include infections and related effects, graft rejection, and GVHD can be expected to be increased especially if the HSCT is indicated for high-risk cases such as individuals with severe combined immune deficiency and SOT that includes an intestine graft. Herein, we report such a case. Our patient is unique as a long-term survivor. We review the literature and the features of our case, especially the timing of transplants and human leukocyte antigen matching for HSCT that resulted in a successful outcome and discuss how this may be applied to others in the future.

Abstract
Intestinal transplant recipients experience a high rate of renal complications secondary to dehydration due to increased ostomy output. It is hypothesized that inclusion of donor colon in the intestinal allograft may improve renal function in patients without functional native colon by improving fluid absorption. A single-center retrospective study of intestinal transplant recipients compared outcomes of patients receiving en bloc colon as part an intestinal allograft (ICTx), and those not receiving colon (CCNTx), as well as a control group of intestinal transplant recipients with functional native colon (ITx). Forty-seven patients (ICTx n = 17, CCNTx n = 15, ITx n = 15) were studied. One-year post-transplant renal function, as measured by change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) from baseline, was superior in ICTx (mean delta-GFR of -1.31 and delta-BUN of -1.46) compared to CCNTx (-6.54 and 17.54, P = 0.05 and P = 0.17, respectively) and similar to the ITx controls (0.55 and 2.09). Recipients of donor colon experienced a higher rate of ileostomy reversal when compared to CCNTx (62.5% vs. 20%, P = 0.0008), which was similar to the ITx controls (60%). These findings support the inclusion of en bloc donor colon in the intestinal allograft for recipients without functional native colon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic disturbances in the context of intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) are frequently encountered and carry a significant burden of morbidity and sometimes mortality. The term intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) refers to liver injury due to intestinal failure and associated PN, in the absence of another evident cause of liver disease, encompassing a spectrum of conditions from deranged liver enzymes, steatosis/ steatohepatitis, cholestasis as well as progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. AIMS To present an up to date perspective on the diagnosis/definition, aetiologies and subsequent management of IFALD and to explore future consideration for the condition, including pharmacological therapies RESULTS: In adults using long-term PN for benign chronic intestinal failure, 1%-4% of all deaths are attributed to IFALD. The aetiology of IFALD is multifactorial and can be broadly divided into nutritional factors (eg lipid emulsion type) and patient-related factors (eg remaining bowel anatomy). Given its multifaceted aetiology, the management of IFALD requires clinicians to investigate a number of factors simultaneously. Patients with progressive liver disease should be considered for combined liver-intestine transplantation, although multivisceral grafts have a worse prognosis. However, there is no established non-invasive method to identify progressive IFALD such that liver biopsy, where appropriate, remains the gold standard. CONCLUSION A widely accepted definition of IFALD would aid in diagnosis, monitoring and subsequent management. Management can be complex with a number of factors to consider. In the future, dedicated pharmacological interventions may become more prominent in the management of IFALD.

Abstract
Background and Objective. End-stage liver disease is characterized by a precarious imbalance of hemostasis. Detrimental consequences of hypofibrinolysis, also known as fibrinolytic shutdown, have been recently demonstrated, and its significance in visceral (ie, an allograft that contains the intestine) transplant remains unknown. Design and Setting. To fill this gap, following institutional review board approval, this retrospective study included 49 adult recipients of visceral allografts (14 “visceral allograft without the liver” and 35 “multivisceral” with the liver) transplanted between 2010 and 2018 in a single university hospital, and for whom pre-incisional thromboelastography was available. Based on percent clot lysis 30 minutes after maximal amplitude, patients were stratified into 3 fibrinolysis phenotypes: fibrinolytic shutdown, physiologic fibrinolysis, and hyperfibrinolysis. Results. Fibrinolytic shutdown occurred in 57% of patients, with higher incidence in recipients of multivisceral transplant (69%) compared with visceral allograft without liver (29%) allografts ( P = .04). Fibrinolytic shutdown was associated with an increase in both intraoperative thrombosis and hemorrhage. Intraoperative thrombosis (18%) occurred only with multivisceral transplant, and accounted for 36% of in-hospital mortality. A clinically meaningful reduction in incidence of intraoperative thrombosis was noted in recipients who received intravenous heparin thromboprophylaxis. Logistic regression identified pretransplant platelet count as a risk factor for fibrinolytic shutdown (odds ratio = 0.992, 95% confidence interval = [0.984-0.998]; χ2= 7.8, P = .005). Conclusions. This study highlights fibrinolytic shutdown as a dominant and clinically important feature of the hemostatic imbalance in recipients undergoing visceral transplantation.

Abstract
Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a threatening complication for children on long-term parenteral nutrition because of intestinal failure. When progressive and intractable, it may jeopardize intestinal rehabilitation and lead to combined liver and intestinal transplantation. The institution of dedicated intestinal failure centers has dramatically decreased the incidence of such complication. IFALD may rapidly fade away if very early management aimed at preventing progression to end-stage liver disease is provided. In this review, we address the etiology and risk factors of IFALD in order to introduce pillars of prevention (nutritional management and catheter-related infections control). The latest evidence of therapeutic strategies, such as medical and surgical treatments, is also discussed.
