Abstract
Oxygen therapy is important for newborns. However, hyperoxia can cause intestinal inflammation and injury. Hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress is mediated by multiple molecular factors and leads to intestinal damage. Histological changes include ileal mucosal thickness, intestinal barrier damage, and fewer Paneth cells, goblet cells, and villi, effects which decrease the protection from pathogens and increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). It also causes vascular changes with microbiota influence. Hyperoxia-induced intestinal injuries are influenced by several molecular factors, including excessive nitric oxide, the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, reactive oxygen species, toll-like receptor-4, CXC motif ligand-1, and interleukin-6. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathways and some antioxidant cytokines or molecules including interleukin-17D, n-acetylcysteine, arginyl-glutamine, deoxyribonucleic acid, cathelicidin, and health microbiota play a role in preventing cell apoptosis and tissue inflammation from oxidative stress. NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways are essential to maintain the balance of oxidative stress and antioxidants and prevent cell apoptosis and tissue inflammation. Intestinal inflammation can lead to intestinal damage and death of the intestinal tissue, such as in NEC. This review focuses on histologic changes and molecular pathways of hyperoxia-induced intestinal injuries to establish a framework for potential interventions.

Preventively enteral application of immunoglobulin enriched colostrums milk can modulate postoperative inflammatory response. Eur J Med Res 2013; 18:50.

Abstract
Several studies demonstrated acute inflammatory response following traumatic injury. Inflammatory response during surgical interventions was verified by a significant increase of endotoxin plasma levels and a decrease of the endotoxin neutralizing capacity (ENC). However, the incidence of elevated endotoxin levels was significantly higher (89%) than detected bacterial translocation (35%). Thus parts or products of Gram-negative bacteria seem to translocate more easily into the blood circulation than whole bacteria. Along with the bacterial translocation, the inflammatory response correlated directly with the severity of the surgical intervention. In comparison after major and minor surgery Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) was also significantly different. Similar effects in mediator release were shown during endovascular stent graft placement and open surgery in infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Open surgery demonstrated a significant stronger endotoxin translocation and a decrease of ENC. Strategies to prevent translocation seem to be sensible. Colostrum is the first milk produced by the mammary glands within the first days after birth. It contains a complex system of immune factors and has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Placebo-controlled studies verified that prophylactic oral application of immunoglobulin-enriched colostrum milk preparation diminishes perioperative endotoxemia, prevents reduction of ENC and reduces postoperative CRP-levels, suggesting a stabilization of the gut barrier. This effect may be caused by immunoglobulin transportation by the neonatal receptor FcRn of the mucosal epithelium.In conclusion, there is an association of perioperative endotoxemia and the subsequent increase in mediators of the acute phase reaction in surgical patients. A prophylactic oral application of colostrum milk is likely to stabilize the gut barrier i.e. reduces the influx of lipopolysaccharides arising from Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and inhibits enterogenic endotoxemia. This appears to be a major mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect in patients at risk for Gram-negative septic shock.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal complications occur in about 2.5% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, are associated with a high mortality (about 33%), and account for nearly 15% (and perhaps increasing) of all postoperative deaths. The various complications and risk factors are reviewed. Splanchnic ischemia prior to, during, and especially postoperatively appears to be an important cause of these complications. In addition, splanchnic ischemia is hypothesized to be one cause of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiorgan failure that may follow cardiac surgery. The physiology of splanchic perfusion and the effects of cardiac surgery, including cardiopulmonary bypass, on it are reviewed. Finally, possible methods to minimize splanchnic ischemia and reduce the incidence of abdominal complications are discussed.

Abstract
Glutamine is an important energy source in intestinal mucosa, the small intestine is the major organ of glutamine uptake and metabolism and plays an important role in the maintenance of whole body glutamine homeostasis. The purpose of this clinical study is to observe the protection effects of enteral supplement with glutamine granules on intestinal mucosal barrier function in severe burned patients. Forty-eight severe burn patients (total burn surface area 30-75%, full thickness burn area 20-85%) were randomly divided into two groups: burn control group (B group, 23 patients) and glutamine treated group (Gln group, 25 patients). Glutamine granules 0.5 g/kg were supplied orally for 14 days in Gln group, and the same dosage of placebo were given for 14 days in B group. The plasma level of glutamine, endotoxin and the activity of diamine oxidase (DAO), as well as intestinal mucosal permeability were determined. The results showed that the levels of plasma endotoxin, activity and urinary lactulose and mannitol (L/M) ratio in all patients were significant higher than that of normal control. After taking glutamine granules for 14 days, plasma glutamine concentration was significantly higher in Gln group than that in B group (607.86+/-147.25 microM/l versus 447.63 +/- 132.28 microM/l, P < 0.01). On the other hand, the levels of plasma DAO activity and urinary L/M ratio in Gln group were lower than those in B group. In addition, the wound healing was better and hospital stay days were reduced in the Gln group (46.59 +/- 12.98 days versus 55.68 +/- 17.36 days, P < 0.05). These results indicated that glutamine granules taken orally could abate the degree of intestine injury, lessen intestinal mucosal permeability, ameliorate wound healing and reduce hospital stay.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is 1 method for the treatment of cancer, but serious side effects can sometimes limit the dosage given. Mild fever and diarrhea are common side effects of cancer chemotherapy. Gastrointestinal injury induced by chemotherapeutic agents may result in bacterial/endotoxin translocation from the gut into the systemic circulation. An experimental study was therefore conducted to clarify the effect of systemic chemotherapeutic agents on gastrointestinal barrier function. Male Wistar rats were divided into a 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) group (100 mg/kg/day for 4 days; n = 27) and a control group (n = 5). All rats were fasted and central venous catheterization was performed for total parenteral nutrition and blood sampling. Intestinal tissue was also sampled for pathological examination. Plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) were determined by ELISA, bacterial translocation was quantified by lymph node culture and plasma endotoxin content of portal blood was measured by the Limulus-amebocyte-lysate test. In the 5-FU group on day 4, a proportion of rats exhibited severe watery diarrhea (73.9%) and occasional vomiting (86.2%). The levels of plasma TNFalpha and IL-6 were seen to increase, peaking at day 6 (IL-6, 350.0 +/- 67.8 pg/ml; TNFalpha, 26.1 +/- 3.2 pg/ml). The pathological findings also changed on day 4. On day 6, 90% of the rats in the 5-FU group showed dramatic sepsis-like manifestations, whereas the control group did not. Within the 5-FU group, only at day 6 was bacterial translocation in the rat mesenteric lymph nodes or significantly elevated levels of endotoxin evident. These results suggest that bacterial/endotoxin translocation might cause sepsis-like manifestations after systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
The intestine constitutes the largest interface between a person and his or her environment, and an intact intestinal barrier is thus essential in maintaining health and preventing tissue injury and several diseases. The intestinal barrier has various immunological and non-immunological components. The epithelial barrier is one of the most important non-immunological components. Hyperpermeability of this barrier is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of several gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and food allergy. Hence, assessing barrier integrity is of the utmost importance. One of the more quantitative gauges for this assessment is transepithelial permeability of various molecular probes, among which sugars are commonly used. Measures of intestinal permeability might also be useful as markers for assessment of prognosis and follow up in various gastrointestinal disorders. The present article is a review of the normal and abnormal functioning of the intestinal barrier, the diseases that can result from loss of barrier integrity, and some promising agents and strategies for restoring barrier normality and integrity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For the treatment of aortic aneurysm, stent-graft implantation is an alternative method to open surgery. There is no study comparing both methods with regard to endotoxaemia, the acute phase cascade, and clinical outcome. METHODS In this prospective study, we enrolled 40 patients (34 males, 6 females; mean age 72.1+/-7.5 [58-92] years) with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent aortic surgery. Comparable groups of patients were treated with open (n=20) or endovascular (n=20) stent-graft implantation. To characterize the inflammatory response, plasma levels of endotoxin, endotoxin-neutralizing capacity (ENC), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count were determined. In all patients, measurements were performed on admission, skin suture, 4 h and from the first to fifth postoperative day. As parameters for the clinical outcome, we assessed daily temperature, lung function, pain, duration of postoperative hospital stay, and morbidity. Wilcoxon rank test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS In both groups, a significant increase of endotoxin plasma levels and a decrease of ENC was found already after skin incision. IL-6 levels peaked 4 h postoperatively in both groups, whereas CRP rose at the first postoperative day, reaching a maximum at day 2. Conventionally operated patients had significantly higher plasma levels of endotoxin, IL-6, and CRP and lower ENC during and after surgery than patients with stent-graft implantation. Moreover, patients with endovascular stent grafting had significant less postoperative pain, less restriction of total vital capacity, a shorter hospital stay, and a lower morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular stent grafting of infrarenal aortic aneurysm seems to be superior not only in terms of the inflammatory response but also in overall clinical outcome.
