ObjectiveTo systematically investigate the pooled prevalence of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) compared to healthy individuals and to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of rifaximin in IBS patients with concomitant SIBO.MethodsA comprehensive computer-based search was conducted across databases including PubMed and Embase from their inception until December 2025. Relevant cohort studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional studies were included. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model.ResultsA total of 25 studies were included. The pooled risk of SIBO was significantly higher in IBS patients compared to healthy controls (OR = 5.71, 95% CI: 3.45–9.45). The Glucose Hydrogen Breath Test (GBT) subgroup showed a higher odds ratio and lower heterogeneity. Rifaximin treatment achieved a pooled SIBO eradication rate of 59% (95% CI: 0.48–0.68), with the medium-to-high dose group (≥ 1,200 mg/day) showing a slightly superior efficacy compared to the lower-dose group.ConclusionA significant association exists between SIBO and IBS. Rifaximin is an effective treatment for IBS patients with concomitant SIBO. The substrate choice for SIBO diagnosis involves a trade-off: while GBT offers greater diagnostic stability and specificity, LBT provides broader sensitivity for distal overgrowth. This evidence-based nuance should guide clinical substrate selection based on the diagnostic priority.Systematic review registrationINPLASY.COM, identifier NPLASY202630002.
IntroductionHypomorphic mutations of DCLRE1C cause an atypical severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related colon lymphoma is a rare complication.Case presentationA teenage boy presented with colon EBV-related colon lymphoma, plantar warts, and a history of recurrent pneumonia. His peripheral blood lymphocyte count and serum level of immunoglobulin (Ig) G were normal, but he exhibited a T+B-NK+ immunophenotype. Genetic analysis by whole exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous mutations of DCLRE1C (NM_001033855.3), including a novel paternal splicing donor mutation (c.109 + 2T>C) in intron 1, and a maternal c.1147C>T (p.R383X) nonsense mutation in exon 13. Based on his clinical features and genetic results, the diagnosis of atypical SCID with colon lymphoma was established. Our review shows that seven patients, including our patient, have been reported to develop lymphoma, all with hypomorphic DCLRE1C mutations. Among these cases, six had EBV-related B-cell lineage lymphoma, and one had Hodgkin lymphoma with EBV reactivation. Unfortunately, all of the patients died.ConclusionRecognizing the radiosensitivity of the disease is critical for the prognosis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before being infected with EBV is an optimal treatment.
Objective: To explore the application and effect of case teaching method combined with clinical pathway teaching method in clinical teaching of pediatricgastroenterology.Methods A total of 84 interns enrolled in the Department of Gastroenterology, Children''s Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2019 to June 2021 were randomly divided into experimental group (42) and control group (42).The control group adopted traditional teaching method, and the experimental group adopted case teaching method combined with clinical path teaching method.After the internship, the experimental group and the control group were evaluated for theoretical knowledge and practical operation ability, and the satisfaction evaluation was completed.The results of the two groups were compared.ResultsThe score of theoretical knowledge and practical operation ability of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P <0.05), and the satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P <0.05), the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Case teaching method combined with clinical pathway teaching method has achieved satisfactory results in pediatric gastroenterology department, standardized clinical teaching practice, and improved the ability of clinical diagnosis and treatment thinking of interns, which is worthy of further promotion.
Background NGLY1-related congenital disorder of deglycosylation (NGLY1-CDDG) is a multisystemic neurodevelopmental disorder in which affected individuals show developmental delay, epilepsy, intellectual disability, abnormal liver function, and poor growth. This study presents a 10-month-old female infant with elevated liver transaminases, developmental delay, epilepsy (subclinical seizures), and constipation who possesses two compound heterozygous mutations inNGLY1. Case presentation The proband was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Children's Hospital of Soochow University, with elevated liver transaminases. She had a history of intrauterine growth retardation and exhibited elevated transaminases, global developmental delay, seizures and light constipation during early infancy. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing revealed two compound heterozygous mutations inNGLY1that had been inherited in an autosomal recessive manner from her parents. One was a termination mutation, c.1168C > T (p.R390*), and the other was a missense mutation, c.1156G > T (p.D386Y). NGLY1-CDDG is a rare disorder, with a few dozen cases. The two mutations of this proband has not been previously identified. Conclusions This study investigated a Chinese proband with NGLY1-CDDG born from healthy parents who was studied using WES and Sanger sequencing to identify the causative mutations. We identified two novel compound heterozygous mutations inNGLY1, c.1168C > T (p.R390*)/c.1156G > T (p.D386Y), which are probably causative of disease.

Tumor microenvironment (e.g., stromal cells) has been suggested to be implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Of which, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are believed as one of the key stromal cells in tumors. Traditionally, matrine was used to treat cancers, including CRC. Unfortunately, little is known about whether matrine inhibited CRC progression via CAFs. In this research, we analyzed cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis by cell colony formation assay, transwell assay and Annexin V staining, respectively. circSLC7A6 and CXCR5 expression levels were examined by RT-qPCR. Exosomes were analyzed by NanoSight Tracking Analysis and exosome markers were probed by westernblot. In the results, we found that matrine significantly led to inhibited cell proliferation and invasion, and increased apoptosis. Moreover, matrine blocked circSLC7A6 exosome secretion from CAFs. circSLC7A6 acted as promoter for CRC cell proliferation and invasion, whereas as inhibitor for apoptosis. Clinically, circSLC7A6 was upregulated in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. In addition, circSLC7A6 was associated with higher overall survival. Eventually, we confirmed that chemokine receptor CXCR5 was a crucial effector for circSLC7A6-modulated tumorigenesis. Here, our data suggest matrine inhibits CRC tumorigenesis through blocking exosomal circSLC7A6 release from CAFs. This finding will provide strong evidence for treating CRC using matrine.

Background and purpose: epidemiological studies that assess the association of dietary total carbohydrate intake and inflammatory bowel disease risk (IBD) have yielded controversial results. Therefore, this study of various epidemiological studies was conducted in order to explore this relationship. Methods: a systematic literature search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Medline databases was performed up to September 2017. Cohort, case-control or cross-sectional design studies were included that reported the association of dietary carbohydrate intake and IBD risk. Summary odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% CI were calculated using the random effects model. Results: a total of eight articles with 15 individual studies that included 1,361 cases were eligible according to the inclusion criteria. Dietary carbohydrate intake had a non-significant relationship with the risk of IBD (OR = 1.091, 95% CI = 0.817-1.455,I-2=31.6%,p(for heterogeneity) = 0.116).The pooled OR and 95% CI for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) with regard to dietary carbohydrate intake was 1.167 (0.777-1.752) and 1.010 (0.630-1.618), respectively. These associations were also non-significant in both European and Asia populations. Conclusions: a higher dietary total carbohydrate intake had a non-significant relationship with IBD risk. Further studies with large populations are needed to verify this relationship.
