Abstract
Background and Aim The prevalence and the role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remain unclear, as the literature provides heterogeneous information on the subject. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of SIBO in IBS and to assess the correlation between methane and hydrogen levels measured during breath tests and the severity of IBS. Method Two-hundred and forty-seven patients with IBS were prospectively included. A glucose breath test (GBT) measured H2 and CH4 production to diagnose SIBO. A test was positive when H2 values exceeded 12 ppm in the first 90 min and/or when a CH4 value exceeded 10 ppm at any time. IBS severity (IBS-SSS), quality of life (GIQLI), and anxiety and depression (HAD) were assessed to investigate the correlation with H2 and CH4 production. Results The prevalence of SIBO in IBS was 36.4% (9.7% with H2, 26.7% with CH4). CH4 levels were significantly higher in the predominantly constipated patients (P = 0.00), while H2 levels were significantly higher within the diarrheal phenotype (P = 0.01). IBS severity was not correlated with either H2 levels (r = 0.02; P = 0.84) or CH4 levels (r = 0.05; P = 0.64). H2 production was inversely correlated with the quality of life (r = -0.24; P = 0.03) and significantly correlated with the HAD scale (r = 0.22; P = 0.03). The pain and discomfort experienced during GBT was not correlated with methane levels (r = -0.09, P = 0.40), hydrogen levels (r = -0.01, P = 0.93), or sum of both (r = 0.06, P = 0.58), but significantly associated with IBS severity (r = 0.50, P <0.00). Conclusion SIBO has a high prevalence in IBS but does not increase its severity. Individual susceptibility to pain may have a greater influence on the severity of IBS.

Abstract
In recent years, various physical exercise interventions have been developed with a view to reducing comorbidity and morbidity rates among patients with chronic diseases. Regular physical exercise has been shown to reduce hypertension and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes and obesity are often associated with the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which can lead to liver fibrosis and then (in some cases) nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis. We searched the literature for publications on personalized physical exercise programs in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation. Eleven studies in cirrhotic patients and one study in liver transplant recipients were included in the systematic review, the results of which were reported in compliance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. The personalized physical exercise programs lasted for 6 to 16 weeks. Our review evidenced improvements in peak oxygen consumption and six-minute walk test performance and a reduction in the hepatic venous pressure gradient. In cirrhotic patients, personalized physical exercise programs improve quality of life, are not associated with adverse effects, and (for transplant recipients) might reduce the 90-day hospital readmission rate. However, none of the literature data evidenced reductions in the mortality rates before and after transplantation. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the benefit of long-term physical exercise programs in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS No recommendation regarding antibiotic prophylaxis and preparation modalities are available for patients with esophageal motor disorders who benefit from Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). The aim of our study was to evaluate their impact on the POEM's safety. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a comparative and multicentric retrospective analysis of a database prospectively collected. Patients over 18 years old with esophageal motor disorders confirmed by prior manometry, who underwent POEM were included. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of adverse events, as classified by Cotton, based on whether or not antibiotic prophylaxis was administered. RESULTS A total of 226 patients (median age 52.9 ± 19.12 years [18-105], 116 women [51.3%]) were included. The indication for POEM was mainly type 2 achalasia (n = 135, 60.3%). Antibiotic prophylaxis was administered to 170 patients (75.2%) during 3.93 ± 3.46 days [1-21]. The overall adverse events rate was 9.3% (n = 21). Antibiotic prophylaxis was associated with the occurrence of adverse events (p = .003), but had no impact on their severity (p = .238). Antibiotic prophylaxis didn't influence the effectiveness of POEM (1 [0-4] vs 1 [0-9], p = .231). The use of a liquid diet in the 48 h prior to the procedure was significantly associated with a lower adverse events rate (3.1% vs 6.19%, p = .0002). CONCLUSION The antibiotic prophylaxis during POEM does not prevent adverse events, had no impact on their severity and the efficacy of the procedure. A liquid diet before the procedure should be systematically proposed.

Abstract
Introduction Lors de la première vague épidémique Covid-19, des mesures de triage, sans PCR systématique, étaient mises en place pour sélectionner les patients à opérer. Notre étude a comparé leurs résultats chirurgicaux après triage à ceux d’un groupe contrôle. Matériel L’analyse portait sur l’ensemble des patients initialement programmés dans un centre Covid de référence et inclus consécutivement, du 15 mars au 1er mai 2020 (NCT04352699). Leurs données étaient recueillies prospectivement et ultérieurement comparées à celles des patients opérés 1 an auparavant sur la même période dans ce centre. Le critère d’évaluation principal était l’admission post-opératoire en unité de soins intensifs (USI). La morbidité, la mortalité postopératoire, le report d’interventions, les tests PCR étaient évalués. Des analyses de sous-groupes étaient réalisés pour les patients opérés de cancer. Résultats Après triage, 96 des 142 interventions programmées ont dû être reportées. Sur les opérés, 48 (68 %) l’étaient pour cancer. Au total, aucun cas de pneumonie Covid-19 post-opératoire n’a été identifié. Trois patients (4 %) ont été admis en USI, dont un finalement décédé pour sepsis urinaire. Chez ces patients, les RT-PCR étaient négatives. Globalement, comparativement au groupe contrôle, aucune différence d’admission en USI, ni de taux de mortalité post-opératoire n’ont été rapportées. Conclusions Le triage de la première vague n’a pas surexposé les patients sélectionnés à un risque de complication ou de décès post-opératoire, particulièrement pas pour ceux opérés pour cancer. En revanche, 67 % des patients ont été reportés, avec un risque associé à des retard de soins pouvant conduire au décès. Niveau de preuve 3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few head-to-head comparisons of the different classes of laxatives have been conducted. OBJECTIVE The objective of this work is to compare the efficacy of lactulose plus paraffin vs polyethylene glycol in the treatment of functional constipation (non-inferiority study). METHODS This randomised, parallel-group, multicentre phase 4 study recruited patients with functional constipation diagnosed according to Rome III criteria. Patients received lactulose plus paraffin or polyethylene glycol for 28 days. The primary end point was the change from baseline in the Patient Assessment of Constipation-Symptoms (PAC-SYM) score. RESULTS A total of 363 patients were randomised to lactulose plus paraffin (n = 179) or polyethylene glycol (n = 184). On day 28, the mean PAC-SYM score decreased significantly vs baseline with both treatments (p < 0.001). The lower boundary of the 95% CI exceeded the pre-specified limit of -0.25, therefore establishing non-inferiority of lactulose plus paraffin vs polyethylene glycol. At least one adverse event occurred in 20 patients (11.2%) in the lactulose plus paraffin group and in 26 patients (14.2%) in the polyethylene glycol group, most of which were of mild or moderate severity and unrelated to study drugs. CONCLUSION Lactulose plus paraffin may be used interchangeably with polyethylene glycol for the pharmacological treatment of functional constipation.Trial registration: EudraCT number 2015-003021-34.

Abstract
There is an urgent medical need to develop non-invasive tests for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of an innovative model based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy for the diagnosis of NASH. Methods Severely obese patients who underwent a bariatric procedure at the University Hospital of Nice, France (n = 395) were prospectively recruited. The clinico-biological characteristics were measured prior to surgery. Liver biopsies were collected during the surgical procedure and assessed by a pathologist. A training group (316 patients, NASH: 16.8%) and a validation group (79 patients, NASH: 16.5%) were randomly defined. MIR spectra were acquired by fiber evanescent wave spectroscopy, using chalcogenide glass fiber optic sensors and a spectrometer. This absorption spectroscopic technique delivers a spectrum that identifies the molecular composition of a sample, defining a patient's metabolic fingerprint. Results The areas under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) for the diagnosis of NASH were 0.82 and 0.77 in the training and validation groups, respectively. The best threshold was 0.15, which was associated with a sensitivity of 0.75 and 0.69, and a specificity of 0.72 and 0.76. Negative predictive values of 0.94 and 0.93 and positive predictive values of 0.35 and 0.36, as well as correctly classified patient rates of 72% and 75% were obtained in the training and validation groups, respectively. A composite model using aspartate aminotransferase level, triglyceride level and waist circumference alongside the MIR spectra led to an increase in AUROC (0.88 and 0.84 for the training and validations groups, respectively). Conclusions MIR spectroscopy provides good sensitivity and negative predictive values for NASH screening in patients with severe obesity. Lay summary There is an urgent need for tools to non-invasively diagnose and monitor non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study evaluates the performance of a new tool for fast NASH diagnosis based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy. Using serum samples from severely obese patients who underwent a bariatric procedure, which enabled a concomitant liver biopsy to be performed, the MIR spectroscopy model performed well in screening patients for NASH compared to a traditional, histological diagnosis. There is no validated non-invasive diagnostic tool for NASH in routine care. NASH follow-up requires a non-invasive diagnostic method. Using a simple drop of serum, the mid-infrared spectrum captures a patient’s metabolic fingerprint. A model based on mid-infrared spectroscopy provides efficient NASH screening for patients with severe obesity.

Abstract
11548 Background: Some previous studies in geriatric oncology have described the GI and their adherence. Today’s challenge is to screen patients needing specific GI and repeated Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA). We recently analyzed a phenotype of patients requiring more GI (Boulahssass et al, Cancers 2019). The main purpose of the present study is to compare types of GI implemented, according to patient frailty levels, in order to better understand the necessary care plan. Methods: Between April 2012 and May 2018, 3530 consecutive patients with solid tumors were enrolled in this multicentric, prospective cohort. 3140 patients (mean age:82y) were finally included and a CGA was performed at Baseline. Twelve GI were standardized, individualized or based on experience if no guidelines were available. Within 1 month, geriatricians including patients in the cohort received standardized training. Logistic regression was performed to compare types of GI in the 3 groups using the Balducci Score (B1/B2/B3). Results: 8819 GI were implemented for the 3140 patients. On average, fit patients had 1.5 GI (n = 146), vulnerable patients 2.4 GI (n = 1568) and frail patients 3.3 GI (n = 1426). We observed no significant differences between the 3 groups concerning specific pain management (Fit vs B2: p = 0.19; Fit vs B3: p = 0.57) and psychological care (Fit vs B2:p = 0.03; Fit vs B3:p = 0.24). In vulnerable and frail patients, we recorded more significant GI for nutritional care, delirium prevention, comorbidity management, nursing interventions, social worker interventions, treatment modifications for optimization or iatrogenic disorders and physiotherapy, with the highest Odds Ratio for nursing interventions (Fit vs B2 OR:2.9 p = 0.011; Fit vs B3 OR:9 P < 0.001) and physiotherapy (Fit vs B2:OR 4.3 p < 0.001; Fit vs B3:OR:9 p < 0.001). B3 patients had significantly more GI on care pathways modifications (OR:3.1, p = 0.002) and caregiver care (OR:2, p = 0.049). Conclusions: Fit patients also needed GI. We observed differences in types of GI between the groups. However, the aims and levels also seemed to differ and need further studies to analyze their impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has indicated an increased risk of Barrett's esophagus (BE) in the long term after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the spectrum of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms as well as the prevalence of BE, at minimum 5 years after SG in patients who underwent SG in different bariatric centers of two countries: France and Italy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five high volume outpatient centers dedicated to bariatric surgery that routinely perform upper GI endoscopy before any bariatric procedures were invited to participate in the study. From January 2017 to June 2018, each center during scheduled postoperative evaluation after surgery asked a minimum 10 consecutive patients, which had performed SG at least 5 years before and with no evidence of BE preoperatively, to undergo another upper GI endoscopy. RESULTS Ninety (66 F) consecutive patients were enrolled. The mean follow-up was 78 ± 15 months, and the mean total body weight loss was 25 ± 12%. The prevalence of BE was 18.8% with no significant difference among centers. Weight loss failure was significantly associated with BE (p < 0.01). The prevalence of GERD symptoms, erosive esophagitis, and the usage of PPIs increased from 22%, 10%, and 22% before the SG to 76%, 41%, and 52% at the time of follow-up, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study show a high rate of BE at least 5 years after SG. Weight loss failure was significantly associated with BE. We suggest to provide systematic endoscopy in these patients to rule out this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predicting early death after a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is very difficult in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to develop a scoring system to estimate risk of death at 100 days in elderly cancer patients to assist the therapeutic decision. METHODS This was a multicentric, prospective cohort study approved by an ethics committee. Elderly cancer patients aged older than 70 years were enrolled before the final therapeutic decision. A standardised CGA was made before the treatment decision at baseline. Within 100 days, event (death), oncologic and geriatric data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to select the risk factors for the overall population. Score points were assigned to each risk factor using the β coefficient. Internal validation was performed by a bootstrap method. Calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test and accuracy with the mean c-statistic. FINDINGS One thousand fifty patients (mean age: 82 years) joined the study from April 2012 to December 2014. The independent predictors were metastatic cancers (odds ratio [OR] 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], [1.7-3.5] p<0 .001); gait speed<0.8 m/s (OR 2.1; 95% CI [1.3-3.3] p=0.001); Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) < 17 (OR 8; 95% CI; [3.7-17.3] p<0.001), MNA ≤23.5 and ≥ 17 (OR 4.4; 95% CI, [2.1-9.1) p<0.001); performance status (PS) > 2 (OR 1.7; 95% CI, [1.1-2.6)] p=0.015) and cancers other than breast cancer (OR 4; 95% CI, [2.1-7.9] p<0.001). We attributed 4 points for MNA<17, 3 points for MNA between ≤23.5 and ≥ 17, 2 points for metastatic cancers, 1 point for gait speed <0.8 m/s, 1 point for PS > 2 and 3 points for cancers other than breast cancer. The risk of death at 100 days was 4% for 0 to 6 points, 24% for 7 to 8 points, 39% for 9 to 10 points and 67% for 11 points. INTERPRETATION To our knowledge, this is the first score which estimates early death in elderly cancer patients. The system could assist in the treatment decision for elderly cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there are no histological criteria to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our aims were (i) to examine the distribution of inflammatory cells in the colon of healthy and IBS subjects and (ii) to find histological diagnosis criteria for IBS. METHODS Colonic biopsies were taken from four distinct regions of the colon from 20 controls (HC) and 11 patients with IBS (4 with constipation (IBS-C) and 7 with diarrhea (IBS-D) and embedded in paraffin. Macrophages, mast cells, eosinophils, and T lymphocytes were immunostained and positive cells counted. KEY RESULTS In both HC and IBS patients, global cellularity decreased from the cecum to the rectum (P < .01) which is attributed to reduced number of macrophages (P < .05) and eosinophils (P < .001) but not T cells. Mast cells were reduced in IBS (P < .05) but not in HC, particularly in IBS-D (P < .05). Results showed higher number of macrophages in the left colon of IBS subjects than HC (P < .05). CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Here we report a decreasing gradient of immune cells from the cecum to the rectum of the human colon. Although global cellularity cannot be used to distinguish between IBS and HC, closer analysis of macrophages and mast cells may be useful markers to confirm IBS histologically and to differentiate between IBS-C and IBS-D when clinical presentation alternates between constipation and diarrhoea. This pilot study remains to be confirmed with greater number of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) demonstrated results similar to traditional Roux-en-Y procedures [1-3], in terms of weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities. The main controversy regarding OAGB is the concern for an association between biliary alkaline gastritis and esophageal or gastric cancer raised by some studies [4]. METHODS We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with a BMI of 41 kg/m2 who underwent a laparoscopic OAGB in 2014. One year later, she consulted for recurrent heartburns. An upper GI endoscopy showed pouchitis and bile reflux in the esophagus. Medical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease was ineffective. We decided to convert the OAGB to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). RESULTS In this video, we show how to revise an OAGB to treat chronic bile reflux, by converting the procedure to a standard RYGB. The intervention starts by restoring the normal anatomy of the small bowel, with the resection of the gastrojejunal anastomosis, which was located at 250-cm du Treitz's ligament. Then, the gastric pouch is created. A standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is performed. CONCLUSIONS The resection of the gastrojejunal anastomosis allows fashioning the Roux-en-Y limb with the classical measures. This technique allows a conversion to a standard RYGB and is effective in treating the biliary reflux.

Abstract
The mucosal immune system (including airway, intestinal, oral and cervical epithelium) is an integrated network of tissues, cells and effector molecules that protect the host from environmental insults and infections at mucous membrane surfaces. Dysregulation of immunity at mucosal surfaces is thought to be responsible for the alarming global increase in mucosal inflammatory diseases such as those affecting the gastrointestinal (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome) and respiratory (asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) system. Although immune regulation has been well-studied in isolated mucosal sites, the extent of the immune interaction between anatomically distant mucosal sites has been mostly circumstantial and the focus of much debate. With novel technology and more precise tools to examine histological and functional changes in tissues, today there is increased appreciation of the 'common mucosal immunological system' originally proposed by Bienenstock nearly 40 years ago. Evidence is amounting which shows that stimulation of one mucosal compartment can directly and significantly impact distant mucosal site, however the mechanisms are unknown. Today, we are only beginning to understand the complexity of relationships and communications that exist between different mucosal compartments. A holistic approach to studying the mucosal immune system as an integrated global organ is imperative for future advances in understanding mucosal immunology and for future treatment of chronic diseases. In this review, we particularly focus on the latest evidence and the mechanisms operational in driving the lung-gut cross-talk.

Abstract
AIM To study the innate immune function in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who fail to respond to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy.
METHODS Effects of anti-TNF therapy, inflammation and medications on innate immune function were assessed by measuring peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cytokine expression from 18 inflammatory bowel disease patients pre- and 3 mo post-anti-TNF therapy. Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression and cytokine production post TLR stimulation was assessed in UC “responders” (n = 12) and “non-responders” (n = 12) and compared to healthy controls (n = 12). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured in blood to assess disease severity/activity and inflammation. Pro-inflammatory (TNF, IL-1β, IL-6), immuno-regulatory (IL-10), Th1 (IL-12, IFNγ) and Th2 (IL-9, IL-13, IL-17A) cytokine expression was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay while TLR cellular composition and intracellular signalling was assessed with FACS.
RESULTS Prior to anti-TNF therapy, responders and non-responders had similar level of disease severity and activity. PBMC’s ability to respond to TLR stimulation was not affected by TNF therapy, patient’s severity of the disease and inflammation or their medication use. At baseline, non-responders had elevated innate but not adaptive immune responses compared to responders (P < 0.05). Following TLR stimulation, non-responders had consistently reduced innate cytokine responses to all TLRs compared to healthy controls (P < 0.01) and diminished TNF (P < 0.001) and IL-1β (P < 0.01) production compared to responders. This innate immune dysfunction was associated with reduced number of circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) (P < 0.01) but increased number of CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) (P = 0.03) as well as intracellular accumulation of IRAK4 in non-responders following TLR-2, -4 and -7 activation (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION Reduced innate immunity in non-responders may explain reduced efficacy to anti-TNF therapy. These serological markers may prove useful in predicting the outcome of costly anti-TNF therapy.

Abstract
Digestive disorders, in particular constipation, are symptoms very often reported by cancer patients as having a major impact on their quality of life. An accurate diagnosis of bowel delayed transit and defecation disorders is required to best adapt therapeutic management. Constipation associated with cancer may be related to several causes, which can be placed in three nosological categories that sometimes overlap: chronic constipation prior to cancer and having its own evolution; constipation related to the cancer condition, in particular the occlusive syndrome, and constipation induced by cancer therapies. The stricter application of diet and lifestyle measures is often necessary and sometimes sufficient. Laxative drug treatments come under various galenic forms and administration routes and must be selected according to the clinical features of constipation. Surgical management can be indicated in case of ileus or pelvic static disorders. In the case of refractory constipation induced by opioids and within the framework of palliative care to treat an advanced pathology, a peripheral morphinic antagonist can offer fast symptom relief. A way forward to improve the patients' quality of life could be to identify the contributing factors (in particular, genetic factors) to determine which patients are the more at risk and anticipate their management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal gut barrier function is the basis of gut inflammatory disease. It is known that house dust mite (HDM) aero-allergens induce inflammation in respiratory mucosa. We have recently reported allergen from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p1) to be present in rodent gut. OBJECTIVE To examine whether Der p1 is present in human gut and to assess its effect on gut barrier function and inflammation. DESIGN Colonic biopsies, gut fluid, serum and stool were collected from healthy adults during endoscopy. Der p1 was measured by ELISA. Effect of HDM was assessed on gut permeability, tight-junction and mucin expression, and cytokine production, in presence or absence of cysteine protease inhibitors or serine protease inhibitors. In vivo effect of HDM was examined in mice given oral HDM or protease-neutralised HDM. Role of HDM in low-grade inflammation was studied in patients with IBS. RESULTS HDM Der p1 was detected in the human gut. In colonic biopsies from healthy patients, HDM increased epithelial permeability (p<0.001), reduced expression of tight-junction proteins and mucus barrier. These effects were associated with increased tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-10 production and were abolished by cysteine-protease inhibitor (p<0.01). HDM effects did not require Th2 immunity. Results were confirmed in vivo in mice. In patients with IBS, HDM further deteriorated gut barrier function, induced TNF-α but failed to induce IL-10 secretion (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS HDM, a ubiquitous environmental factor, is present in the human gut where it directly affects gut function through its proteolytic activity. HDM may be an important trigger of gut dysfunction and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of the probiotic combination Lactibiane Tolerance® (LT) on epithelial barrier function in vitro and in vivo.
METHODS: The effect of the multispecies probiotic LT was assessed on several models of epithelial barrier function both in vitro (in basal and inflammatory conditions) and in vivo [visceral hypersensitivity induced by chronic stress or by colonic perfusion of a fecal supernatant (FSN) from patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)]. In vitro, we measured the permeability of confluent T84 cell monolayers incubated with or without LT by evaluating the paracellular flux of macromolecules, in basal conditions and after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or with conditioned medium of colonic biopsies from IBS patients (IBS-CM). In vivo, male C57/Bl6 mice received orally NaCl or LT for 15 d and were submitted to water avoidance stress (WAS) before evaluating visceral sensitivity by measuring the myoelectrical activity of the abdominal muscle and the paracellular permeability with 51Cr-EDTA. Permeability and sensitivity were also measured after colonic instillation of FSN. Tight-junctions were assessed by immunoblotting and TLR-4 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry
RESULTS: Incubation of T84 cell monolayers with LT in basal conditions had no significant effect on permeability (P > 0.05 vs culture medium). By contrast, addition of LT bacterial bodies (LT) completely prevented the LPS-induced increase in paracellular permeability (P < 0.01 vs LPS 10 ng/mL (LPS 10); P < 0.01 vs LPS 100 ng/mL (LPS 100), P > 0.05 vs culture medium). The effect was dose dependent as addition of 109 LT bacterial bodies induced a stronger decrease in absorbance than 106 LT (109 LT + LPS 10: -20.1% ± 13.4, P < 0.01 vs LPS 10; 106 LT + LPS 10: -11.6% ± 6.2, P < 0.01 vs LPS 10; 109 LT + LPS 100: -14.4% ± 5.5, P < 0.01 vs LPS 100; 106 LT + LPS 100: -11.6% ± 7.3, P < 0.05 vs LPS 100). Moreover, the increase in paracellular permeability induced by culturing T84 cells with conditioned medium of colonic biopsies from IBS patients (IBS-CM) was completely inhibited in the presence of 109 LT (P < 0.01 vs IBS-CM). LT also significantly prevented the epithelial disruption induced by intracolonic infusion of fecal supernatant from IBS patients (P < 0.01 vs IBS FSN) or water avoidance stress P < 0.01 vs WAS) in C57/Bl6 mice and increased the expression of occludin in vitro and in vivo, as assessed by immnunoblotting. The WAS-induced effect on visceral sensitivity was prevented by LT treatment since values obtained for all steps of colorectal distension were significantly (P < 0.01) different from the WAS group. Finally, LT down-regulated the response mediated through TLR-4 in vitro (decrease in tumor necrosis factor α secretion in response to LPS: -65.8% for 109 LT and -52.5% for 106 LT, P < 0.01 vs LPS) and in vivo (inhibition of WAS induced an increase in TLR-4 expression in the LT treated mice colon, P < 0.01 vs WAS).
CONCLUSION: The probiotic LT mix prevented the disruption to the epithelial barrier induced by LPS, stress or colonic soluble factors from IBS patients and prevented visceral hypersensitivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Low levels of vitamin D are associated with a higher mortality in cirrhotic patients, but the role of this deficiency is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the levels of vitamin D in cirrhotic patients with and without bacterial infection. METHODS: 25-hydroxy (25-OH) vitamin D was assessed by immunoassay in 88 patients hospitalized in our hepatology unit. RESULTS: The causes of cirrhosis were mainly alcohol (70%), hepatitis C (10%), or both (9%). Infections (n=38) mainly included bacteriemia (21%), urinary tract infections (24%), and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (29%). A severe deficiency in vitamin D (<10 ng/ml) was observed in 56.8% of patients. Infections were more frequent in patients with a severe deficiency compared with the others (54 vs. 29%, P=0.02). A severe deficiency in vitamin D was a predictive factor of infection (odds ratio=5.44 (1.35–21.97), P=0.017) independently of the Child–Pugh score (odds ratio=2.09 (1.47–2.97) P=0.00004) and the C-reactive protein level (odds ratio=1.03 (1.002–1.052), P=0.03) in a logistic regression also including the alanine amino transferase (not significant). By a Cox regression analysis, only the presence of an infection was significantly associated with mortality (relative risk=3.24 (1.20–8.76), P=0.02) in a model also associating the Child–Pugh score (not significant) and the presence of a severe deficiency in vitamin D (not significant). CONCLUSIONS: Low levels of 25-OH vitamin D were independently associated with bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients. The impact of 25-OH vitamin D supplementation on the infection rate and death of cirrhotic patients should be assessed in randomized trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of colonic barrier defects and low-grade inflammation in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms in quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). DESIGN Caecal biopsies were collected from 51 IBS, 49 quiescent IBD (31 Crohn's disease (CD) and 18 ulcerative colitis (UC)) patients and 27 controls. IBS was assessed using the Rome III criteria and the IBS severity score. Epithelial barrier integrity was evaluated by determining the paracellular permeability of biopsies mounted in Ussing chambers and the mRNA expression of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, α-catenin and occludin). Low-grade inflammation was evaluated by counting cells, including intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), eosinophils and mast cells, and by determining the mRNA and protein expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in biopsies and culture supernatants. RESULTS IBS-like symptoms were present in 35.4 and 38% of CD and UC patients, respectively. Paracellular permeability was significantly increased in both quiescent IBD with IBS-like symptoms and IBS compared with quiescent IBD without IBS-like symptoms (p<0.01, respectively) or controls (p<0.01, respectively). Significantly lower expression of ZO-1 and α-catenin was detected in IBS and quiescent IBD with IBS-like symptoms. IELs and TNF-α were significantly increased in quiescent IBD with IBS-like symptoms, but not in IBS. CONCLUSIONS In quiescent IBD, IBS-like symptoms related to persistent subclinical inflammation associated with increased colonic paracellular permeability. A persistent increase in TNF-α in colonic mucosa may contribute to the epithelial barrier defects associated with abdominal pain in quiescent IBD, but not in IBS. Optimisation of anti-inflammatory therapy may be considered in quiescent IBD with IBS-like symptoms.

Abstract
In this issue of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, Dr Ewa Wilcz-Villega and colleagues report low expression of E-cadherin, a tight junction protein involved in the regulation of paracellular permeability, in the colonic mucosa of patients with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with predominance of diarrhea (IBS-D) or alternating symptoms (IBS-A). These findings constitute an improvement in our knowledge of epithelial barrier disruption associated with IBS. There is mounting evidence to indicate that a compromised epithelial barrier is associated with low-grade immune activation and intestinal dysfunction in at least a proportion of IBS patients. During the last 10 years of research, much interest has focused on the increase in the number of different types of immune cells in the gut mucosa of IBS patients including: mast cells, T lymphocytes, and other local cells such as enteroendocrine cells. The inflammatory mediators released by these cells or other luminal factors could be at the origin of altered epithelial barrier functions and enteric nervous system signaling, which lead to gut hypersensitivity. A current conceptual framework states that clinical symptoms of IBS could be associated with structural and functional abnormalities of the mucosal barrier, highlighting the crucial importance of elucidating the contributory role of epithelial barrier defects in the pathogenesis of IBS. More importantly, disruption of the epithelial barrier could also participate in the generation of persistent abdominal pain and discomfort mimicking IBS in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases considered in remission. This mini review gives a brief summary of clinical and experimental evidence concerning the mechanisms underlying epithelial barrier defects in IBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anal incontinence is a frequent complaint that profoundly affects quality of life. Our aim was to determine whether perineal retraining gives additional benefits to standard medical treatment. METHODS Patients with anal incontinence and a Wexner score >4 were randomly assigned to standard conservative treatment (control) or perineal retraining, including biofeedback, in addition to standard treatments (biofeedback). Diaries, self-administered questionnaires and satisfaction scores quantified the benefits. Self-evaluated improvement was the primary outcome measure. A score ≥3 (in an improvement scale from -5 to +5) defined success. RESULTS Overall, 157 patients were included; 80 in the control group (75% females, mean age 60.1 ± 13.2 years) and 77 in the biofeedback group (79% females, mean age 61.9 ± 10.2 years). After a 4-month follow-up, the success rate was significantly higher in the biofeedback group (57% versus 37%; p<0.021). In the biofeedback group, daily stool frequency, leakage, and faecal urgency significantly decreased, and daily non-urgent perception of stool increased. Conversely, symptomatic scores and quality of life scales did not significantly differ between groups. In a multivariate model, the adjusted odds ratio showed that perineal retraining was significantly associated with a higher chance of self-rated improvement (adjusted Odd Ratio [95%CI]: 2.34 [1.14-4.80]; p=0.021). CONCLUSIONS Perineal retraining offers a moderate but significant benefit for patients suffering from anal incontinence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, markedly impairing patients' quality of life. Drug development for IBS treatment has been hampered by the lack of understanding of IBS aetiology. In recent years, numerous data have emerged that suggest the involvement of immune activation in IBS, at least in a subset of patients. AIM To determine whether immune activation and intestinal permeabilisation are more frequently observed in IBS patients compared with healthy controls. METHODS The scientific bibliography was searched using the following keywords: irritable bowel syndrome, inflammation, immune activation, permeabilisation, intestine, assay, histology and human. The retrieved studies, including blood, faecal and histological studies, were analysed to provide a comprehensive and structured overview of the available data including the type of assay, type of inflammatory marker investigated or intestinal segment studied. RESULTS Immune activation was more frequently observed in IBS patients than in healthy controls. An increase in the number of mast cells and lymphocytes, an alteration in cytokine levels and intestinal permeabilisation were reported in IBS patients. No consistent changes in the numbers of B cells or enterochromaffin cells or in mucosal serotonin production were demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The changes observed were modest and often heterogeneous among the studied population. Only appropriate interventions improving irritable bowel syndrome symptoms could highlight and confirm the role of immune activation in this pathophysiology.

Abstract
AIM: To assess the effects and safety of Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus LCR35 complete freeze-dried culture (LCR35) in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
METHODS: A randomized, double-blind pilot study was performed in 50 patients complaining of IBS symptoms complying with Rome III criteria. Patients were allocated to receive either LCR35 (n = 25) at a minimum daily dose of 6 × 108 colony forming units or placebo (n = 25) for 4 wk. At inclusion, after treatment and 2 wk later, patients completed the IBS severity scale. Change from baseline in the IBS severity score at the end of treatment was the primary efficacy criterion. Changes were compared between groups in the whole population and in IBS subtypes (IBS with predominance of constipation, IBS with predominance of diarrhoea, mixed IBS, unsubtyped IBS). The presence of lactobacillus casei rhamnosus in stools was investigated at inclusion and at the end of treatment. The gastrointestinal quality of life questionnaire and the hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale were also completed.
RESULTS: Both groups were balanced for baseline characteristics. In 85% of patients, stool analyses showed that lactobacillus casei rhamnosus able to survive in the digestive tract. In the whole population, improvements in the IBS severity score did not differ significantly between treatments with a 25% decrease after 4-wk treatment, and a 15% decrease from baseline 2 wk later in both groups. In IBS subgroups, statistical analysis could not be performed due to small sample size, but a clinical response in favour of LCR35 was observed in IBS patients with predominance of diarrhoea: no change in the symptom severity score was seen with the placebo after 4 wk treatment, whereas a clinically relevant decrease occurred with LCR35 (-37% vs -3%). Furthermore, in spite of an increase in symptom intensity, the IBS severity score was maintained below the baseline value 2 wk later with LCR35 (-19% from baseline), whilst a slight 5% increase from baseline was observed with placebo. In the IBS subgroup with predominance of diarrhoea only, a clinically relevant decrease in abdominal pain severity score (-36%) was observed with LCR35, whereas no change occurred with placebo. In mixed IBS patients, the 20% and 30% decreases in the IBS severity score observed after treatment with LCR35 and placebo, respectively, were maintained 2 wk later in both groups. A clinical response slightly in favour of placebo was observed at the end of the treatment period in IBS patients with predominance of constipation (-41% vs -20%) and unsubtyped IBS patients (-47% vs -17%), with the same value maintained 2 wk later. In both groups, no clinically relevant changes were observed either for the gastrointestinal quality of life index or HAD score. Thus, these results suggest that sub-grouping of IBS patients may be important for optimizing treatment responses by the physician.
CONCLUSION: This pilot study suggests that LCR35 could have some efficacy in IBS patients complaining of diarrhoea. These preliminary results need to be confirmed in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatigue is an important determinant of altered quality of life in patients affected by chronic hepatitis C or the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). AIM In this study, we aimed at determining the contributory role of plasma levels of leptin and carnitine on fatigue in chronic hepatitis C and IBS. METHODS We enrolled 81 patients with chronic hepatitis C, 42 with IBS and 44 healthy subjects. Fatigue was evaluated using the Fatigue Impact Scale questionnaire. Body composition was assessed through impedance analysis. Plasma carnitine and leptin were measured. RESULTS Fatigue scores were significantly more elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and IBS than in healthy subjects. Patients with chronic hepatitis C but not IBS, had significant lower plasma levels of total and free carnitine adjusted for fat mass compared with healthy subjects. In patients with chronic hepatitis C and not with IBS, fatigue scores were negatively correlated with plasma levels of carnitine. Levels of free carnitine were significantly and independently associated with the severity of fatigue in patients with chronic hepatitis C [OR=2.019, P=0.02, CI 95% (1.01-1.23)]. CONCLUSIONS In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the severity of fatigue is associated with a low level of carnitine, suggesting that an oral supplementation may be effective to relieve fatigue in chronic hepatitis C. The underlying mechanism of fatigue in IBS does not seem to involve carnitine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life-threatening bleeding caused by early spontaneous slippage of rubber bands has been described after variceal ligation in cirrhotic patients. AIM To determine the predictive factors of this complication in cirrhotic patients. METHODS Among 605 patients, 21 patients (mean age 56.6 +/- 13.5 years) developed 23 spontaneous band slippages with bleeding on post banding ulcer, as confirmed by endoscopy. Cirrhosis was alcoholic in 13 patients (62%), post viral hepatitis in three (14%) and from other causes in five (24%). A case-control study was performed comparing 17 from these patients who presented the complication after a first ligation with 84 of the 584 controls who underwent first endoscopic variceal ligation without bleeding complication. RESULTS Bleeding occurred 13.5 days +/- 7.3 (2-29) following ligation. Eleven patients died following the bleeding complication (52%). Using a multivariate analysis, previous upper variceal digestive bleeding [OR 12.07, 95%CI (2.3-63.43)], peptic oesophagitis [OR 8.9, 95%CI (1.65-47.8)], high platelet ratio index (APRI) score [OR 1.54, 95%CI (1.11-2.16)] and low prothrombin index [OR 0.54, 95% CI (0.31-0.94)] were independent predictive factors of bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Bleeding related to post-banding ulcer is a rare, but severe complication. The proposed predictive factors should be looked for and minimized before variceal ligation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn disease (CD) have impaired quality of life (Qol) associated with fatigue. Whether IBS-like symptoms have a similar impact on Qol and fatigue in quiescent CD than in IBS is currently unknown. Our aims were (i) to evaluate the prevalence of IBS-like symptoms in quiescent CD and (ii) to compare the impact of IBS-like symptoms on Qol and fatigue in both diseases. METHODS A total of 92 quiescent CD, 40 IBS and 20 healthy subjects similar in age were included prospectively in five French academic centers. IBS symptoms were evaluated through the Rome III criteria. The severity of IBS symptoms, Qol, fatigue, depression and anxiety was measured using questionnaires (Francis Score, Likert scales, Fatigue Impact Scale, short-form Beck and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). KEY RESULTS Irritable bowel syndrome-like symptoms were found in 42/92 (45.6%) patients with quiescent CD. The presence of IBS-like symptoms was associated with significant more profound alterations of Qol, high scores of fatigue, depression, but similar levels of anxiety. Compared to CD patients with IBS-like symptoms, IBS patients had more severe gastrointestinal symptoms and alterations of Qol, but similar scores of fatigue, depression and anxiety. In quiescent CD patients, fatigue was independently associated with the presence of IBS-like symptoms (OR = 1.018, 95% CI: 1.002-1.034, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES The prevalence of IBS-like symptoms is elevated in quiescent CD. The presence of IBS-like symptoms in quiescent CD is probably associated with the range of fatigue/depression disorders. The mechanism underlying the occurrence of IBS-like symptoms in quiescent CD needs to be further explored.

Abstract
The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common bowel disorder that markedly impairs quality of life of patients. The causes of IBS symptoms are not well known. Motility and sensibility disorders, a genetic susceptibility, stress, previous GI infections and food intolerance have been involved in the pathogenesis of IBS. Recent investigations suggest that alterations of the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, in particular increased permeability, could modify the cross-talk between bacterial microflora and the host, thus leading to persitent "low-grade" inflammation and alterated GI motility and sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests that patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have increased intestinal permeability. In addition, mucosal soluble mediators are involved in the pathophysiology of pain in IBS. We aimed to investigate (1) paracellular permeability in colonic biopsies of patients with IBS; and (2) the ability of soluble factors from colonic biopsies to reproduce these alterations in vitro. METHODS Paracellular permeability in colonic biopsies of healthy subjects and patients with IBS was measured by mounting the biopsies in Ussing chambers. Cleared supernatant (SUP) of the culture from colonic biopsies was collected and applied to Caco-2 cells for 48 h. Paracellular permeability and transepithelial resistance (TER) were evaluated. mRNA expression of the tight junction proteins, zonula occludens (ZO)-1 and occludin, was assessed in colonic biopsies. Abdominal pain was assessed using a validated questionnaire. RESULTS Permeability of colonic biopsies was significantly higher in patients with IBS compared to healthy subjects. These changes were associated with significantly lower expression of ZO-1 mRNA in biopsies of IBS as compared to healthy subjects. Compared to healthy subjects, SUP of IBS markedly reduced TER and significantly increased permeability in Caco-2 cells. SUP of IBS patients induced a significant decrease of ZO-1 mRNA in Caco-2 as compared to healthy subjects. SUP-induced increased paracellular permeability correlated with the severity of abdominal pain. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that colonic soluble mediators are able to reproduce functional (permeability) and molecular (ZO-1 mRNA expression) alterations observed in IBS patients. These findings might pave the way both to identify novel biomarkers as well as new therapeutic targets in IBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery is an endoscopic procedure developed for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. AIM To compare RF and a proton pump inhibitor strategy (PPI) in PPI-dependent patients by carrying out a prospective, randomized trial. METHODS Patients with PPI-dependent typical reflux symptoms were randomly allocated to either RF or PPI regimen alone. The primary endpoint, evaluated at 6-month, was defined as the possibility for the patient to stop or to decrease PPI use to <50% of the effective dose required at baseline. RESULTS In the RF group, 18/20 patients stopped (n = 3) or decreased (n = 15) PPI use as compared to eight of 16 in the PPI group (P = 0.01). None of the control patients could stop PPI. Health-related quality of life scores were not different between groups. No significant change in oesophageal acid exposure (OAE) was noted between baseline and 6-months after RF. No severe complication was reported. CONCLUSIONS Radiofrequency energy delivery is a safe and effective therapeutic option, allowing reduction in or discontinuation of PPI therapy in patients with PPI-dependent symptoms, without loss of quality of life. However, in a majority of patients, PPI therapy cannot be completely stopped. The efficacy of RF does not seem to be related to a decrease in OAE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A subset of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have an increased number of mast cells (MCs) in the colonic mucosa. Psychological factors are believed to contribute to the course of IBS. AIMS To examine associations between fatigue, depression and MCs of the colonic mucosa in IBS. METHODS Colonic biopsies were taken from 50 Rome II IBS patients, 21 healthy controls and 11 depressed/fatigued patients without IBS. The cellularity of the lamina propria was determined as the number of inflammatory cells per high power field (hpf) through a 400x microscope. The Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) and the short form Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) evaluated the severity of fatigue and depression. RESULTS IBS patients had a significant increase in the cellularity of the lamina propria compared with controls or with depressed patients (mean (SD) 94.5 (48-110) vs 68 (58-82) and 78 (87-90) cells per hpf, p = 0.005 and p = 0.05, respectively), in particular of MCs (9.3 (5.6-11.7) vs 4.0 (2.7-6.8) and 4.3 (2.8-7.8) cells per hpf, p = 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). Both the FIS and BDI scores were significantly higher in IBS or in depressed patients than in controls (p<0.001). In IBS, the FIS score correlated significantly with the cellularity of the lamina propria (r = 0.51, p<0.0001) and MCs (r = 0.64, p<0.0001). In IBS, the BDI score correlated significantly with MCs (r = 0.29, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Elevated MCs counts are a key feature of the low-grade inflammatory infiltrate in the caecal mucosa of IBS. Fatigue and depression are associated with mucosal cell counts, in particular MCs, suggesting that psychological factors are associated with the low-grade inflammatory infiltrate in IBS.

Abstract
The incidence of obesity is steadily rising, and it has been estimated that 40% of the US population will be obese by the year 2025 if the current trend continues. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity in concomitance with the epidemic of obesity. Bariatric surgery proved effective in providing weight loss of large magnitude, correction of comorbidities and excellent short-term and long-term outcomes, decreasing overall mortality and providing a marked survival advantage. The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) has increased in popularity and is currently very “trendy” among laparoscopic surgeons involved in bariatric surgery. As LSG proved to be effective in achieving considerable weight loss in the short-term, it has been proposed by some as a sole bariatric procedure. This editorial focuses on the particular advantages of LSG in the treatment of morbid obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) is associated with a significant rate of revision because of regain of weight due to staple-line disruption, gastric pouch and stoma dilation, change to sweet eating, outlet stenosis with vomiting and reflux. To avoid reflux, some surgeons added an antireflux wrap. METHODS We report laparoscopic revision of VBG with antireflux wrap to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) in 4 patients. The indication for revision was insufficient weight loss in all 4 patients, with stenosis of the stoma resistant to endoscopic balloon dilation in one and reflux esophagitis in one, who shifted to high-calorie liquids. Revision was performed 73.5 months (range 57-84) after the primary procedure, at mean BMI 39.5 (range 37-41). RESULTS Mean operative time was 193.7 min (165-220). There was no conversion to open surgery. There was no mortality. One patient developed a stenosis at the gastrojejunostomy that was managed successfully with endoscopic balloon dilation. Mean length of stay was 6.8 days (range 4-9). At mean follow-up of 11.2 months (range 11-18), mean BMI is 28.5 (range 27-30), and all patients were free of co-morbidities. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic revision of VBG with an antireflux wrap into an LRYGBP is feasible and effective in achieving weight loss, but the safety requires assessment by a larger series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Probiotics are defined as live micro-organisms which confer a health benefit on the host. Although most probiotics are bacteria, one strain of yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii, has been found to be an effective probiotic in double-blind clinical studies. AIMS To compare the main properties that differentiates yeast from bacteria and to review the properties of S. boulardii explaining its potential benefits as a probiotic. METHODS The PubMed and Medline databases were searched using the keywords 'probiotics', 'yeast', 'antibiotic associated diarrhea', 'Saccharomyces boulardii','bacterial diarrhea' and 'inflammatory bowel disease' in various combinations. RESULTS Several clinical studies have been conducted with S. boulardii in the treatment and prevention of various forms of diarrhoea. Promising research perspectives have been opened in terms of maintenance treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. The mechanism of S. boulardii's action has been partially elucidated. CONCLUSION Saccharomyces boulardii is a strain of yeast which has been extensively studied for its probiotic effects. The clinical activity of S. boulardii is especially relevant to antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and recurrent Clostridium difficile intestinal infections. Experimental studies clearly demonstrate that S. boulardii has specific probiotic properties, and recent data has opened the door for new therapeutic uses of this yeast as an 'immunobiotic'.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the results of sub total colectomy with cecorectal anastomosis (STC-CRA) for isolated colonic inertia (CI).
METHODS: Fourteen patients (mean age 57.5 ± 16.5 year) underwent surgery for isolated CI between January 1986 and December 2002. The mean frequency of bowel motions with the aid of laxatives was 1.2 ± 0.6 per week. All subjects underwent colonoscopy, anorectal manometry, cinedefaecography and colonic transit time (CTT). CI was defined as diffuse markers delay on CTT without evidence of pelvic floor dysfunction. All patients underwent STC-CRA. Long-term follow-up was obtained prospectively by clinical visits between October 2005 and February 2006 at a mean of 10.5 ± 3.6 years (range 5-16 years) during which we considered the number of stool emissions, the presence of abdominal pain or digitations, the use of pain killers, laxatives and/or fibers. Patients were also asked if they were satisfied with the surgery.
RESULTS: There was no postoperative mortality. Postoperative complications occurred in 21.4% (3/14). At the end of follow-up, bowel frequency was significantly (P < 0.05) increased to a mean of 4.8 ± 7.5 per day (range 1-30). One patient reported disabling diarrhea. Two patients used laxatives less than three times per month without complaining of what they called constipation. Overall, 78.5% of patients would have chosen surgery again if necessary.
CONCLUSION: STC-CRA is feasible and safe in patients with CI achieving 79% of success at a mean follow-up of 10.5 years. A prospective controlled evaluation is warranted to verify the advantages of this surgical approach in patients with CI.

Abstract
The epidemic of obesity and the introduction of laparoscopic techniques have greatly increased the popularity of bariatric operations such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). Acquired diverticular disease of the small bowel is a rare condition that becomes symptomatic in about 10% of the cases. We report a 48-year-old morbidly obese woman who presented 2 months after laparoscopic RYGBP with a perforated diverticulum of the Roux loop. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fatigue has received little attention in the irritable bowel syndrome. Emerging evidence exists that leptin may be involved in the pathogenesis of fatigue in several conditions. We aimed to evaluate the occurrence of fatigue and its characteristics in irritable bowel syndrome and to analyze the relationship between fatigue and leptin. METHODS We enrolled 51 consecutive irritable bowel syndrome patients and 22 healthy controls without fatigue. None of them were depressed. The Fatigue Impact Scale was used to evaluate fatigue. RESULTS In all, 62.7% of irritable bowel syndrome patients verbally expressed fatigue and rated more than 4 on the visual analog scale. The total score of fatigue was significantly higher in irritable bowel syndrome than in controls. In irritable bowel syndrome patients, but not in controls, a significant association was found between the total score of fatigue and leptin and this association was more pronounced in 32 irritable bowel syndrome patients who verbally expressed fatigue (r=0.60; P=0.0003). In irritable bowel syndrome, leptin correlated with fatigue independently from age, sex, fat mass and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that fatigue occurs in 62.7% of irritable bowel syndrome patients when systematically asked for. Fatigue influences all three domains of the Fatigue Impact Scale in irritable bowel syndrome, the most being the physical and the psychosocial domains. Fatigue is associated with circulating leptin levels independently from age, sex, fat mass and body mass index in irritable bowel syndrome. The metabolic sequence involved in the occurrence of fatigue remains to be determined.

Abstract
Pelvic magnetic resonance is a simple and non-invasive imaging technique for dynamic and static assessment of the pelvic floor. The morphology of the support system is assessed by T2-weighted images. Dynamic sequences are used to assess pelvic prolapse. In this study we illustrate the normal and pathologic features of the levator ani muscle which represents the main active support of pelvic organs. Furthermore we describe the different types of prolapses, floor by floor, and the different staging techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP) for alcoholic hepatitis in heavy drinkers. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 101 heavy drinkers (67 M, 34 F) with elevated transaminase activity and negative HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV antibodies were included in the study. All patients underwent standard liver function tests, CRP determination and liver biopsies. None of the patients had signs of infection or inflammatory disease and none of them were taking antibiotics. The severity of alcoholic hepatitis was assessed semi-quantitatively using a Metavir-derived scoring system. The receiver operating curve (ROC) for CRP was constructed to assess different areas under the curve (AUCs) and the best threshold value for predicting alcoholic hepatitis (an AUC of 1.0 for an ideal test and of 0.5 for a less indicative test). RESULTS Pathological signs of alcoholic hepatitis were found in 29 patients (30%) and significant fibrosis (F > 1) in 46 (45.1%). CRP increased significantly with the severity of acute alcoholic hepatitis (p<0.001). Total bilirubin (OR = 1.03 CI 95% (1.01-1.06), p=0.04) and CRP (OR = 1.1 CI 95% (1.02-1.19), p=0.01) were independent factors for predicting alcoholic hepatitis. The area under the ROC curve of CRP was 0.78. Using optimized cut-off values (CRP > 19 mg/L), the sensitivity, specificity, positive, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy were 41%, 99%, 92%, 81% and 82%, respectively. CONCLUSION CRP is an accurate marker of alcoholic hepatitis.
