Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical management for patients with inflammatory ileocecal Crohn's disease (CD) could be a reasonable alternative to second-line medical treatment. AIM To assess short and long-term outcomes of patients operated on for inflammatory, ileocecal Crohn's disease. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients intervened at four referral hospitals during 2012-2021 was performed. RESULTS 211 patients were included. 43% of patients underwent surgery more than 5 years after diagnosis, and 49% had been exposed to at least one biologic agent preoperatively. 89% were operated by laparoscopy, with 1.6% conversion rate. The median length of the resected bowel was 25 cm (7-92) and three patients (1.43%) received a stoma. Median follow-up was 36 (17-70) months. The endoscopic recurrence-free survival proportion at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 months was 56%, 52%, 45%, 38%, and 33%, respectively. The clinical recurrence-free survival proportion at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 months was 83%, 79%, 76%, 74%, and 74%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, previous biological treatment (HR=2.01; p = 0.001) was associated with a higher risk of overall recurrence. CONCLUSION Surgery in patients with primary inflammatory ileocecal CD is associated with good postoperative outcomes, low postoperative morbidity with reasonable recurrence rates.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the endothelial function in human mesenteric arteries with specific reference to defining the role of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) and the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). Isolated segments of small human mesenteric arteries (225-450 microm inner diameter) were mounted in organ baths for recording isometric tension. In arteries precontracted with U46619 (thromboxane A(2) analogue, 10(-7) M), endothelium-dependent relaxations were induced in a concentration-dependent manner by substance P and histamine. In normal Krebs solution the relaxations to substance P (10(-9) M) and histamine (10(-7) M) were not significantly affected by preincubation with N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, 10(-4) M) or indomethacin (10(-5) M). When the preparations were exposed to a solution containing 60 mM KCl, stable contractions were induced, but relaxations could still be induced by substance P and histamine. When the arteries were further preincubated with L-NNA, the relaxations were almost abolished. A combination of apamin (3 x 10(-7) M) and charybdotoxin (10(-9) M) almost abolished relaxations in normal Krebs solution. It is concluded that isolated human mesenteric arteries respond to substance P and histamine with relaxations that are endothelium-dependent. Synthesis of both EDNO and EDHF seem important for these relaxations, whereas prostaglandins seem to be of minor importance.

Abstract
Nifedipine is used to treat sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Its effects on the biliary system and duodenum in relation to its known vascular actions are unclear. Our aims were to determine the relative tissue sensitivities to dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel antagonism in the sphincter of Oddi, gallbladder, duodenum, and vasculature. For in vivo studies, 23 possums received nifedipine at three different doses with blood pressure and sphincter of Oddi manometry recordings. For in vitro studies, tissues from 28 possums were pretreated with nicardipine (10(-8)-10(-5) M) and cumulative concentrations of agonist were administered (carbachol, norepinephrine at 10(-9)-10(-5) M). In in vivo studies, blood pressure fell significantly at a lower dose than sphincter of Oddi motility. In in vitro studies, the sphincter of Oddi was more sensitive than arterial tissue, with the duodenum especially sensitive. In conclusion, in the possum we found that L-type channel antagonism in vivo was more potent to the vasculature than the sphincter of Oddi but this was not confirmed in vitro.
