Intussusception in a Premature Neonate: A Rare Often Misdiagnosed Cause of Intestinal Obstruction by I. Loukas, N. Baltogiannis, C. Plataras, A.-V. Skiathitou, S. Siahanidou, G. Geroulanos

“…In several reports, a significant number of the infants who were included in the study population were believed to have necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We present a rare cause of small intestine obstruction in a preterm female infant that can be easily misdiagnosed and confused preoperatively with other clinical entities particular for this period.…”

Dietary Ganglioside Reduces Proinflammatory Signaling in the Intestine by John Janez Miklavcic, Kareena Leanne Schnabl, Vera Christine Mazurak, Alan Bryan Robert Thomson, Michael Thomas Clandinin

“…Restoring proper structure and function to the diseased intestine can resolve inflammation, increase resistance to infection, and improve gut integrity to induce remission of conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Maintaining inactive state of disease may be achieved by reducing the rate that gangliosides are degraded or by increasing intake of dietary ganglioside. …”

ABIN1 Inhibits Inflammation through Necroptosis-Dependent Pathway in Ulcerative Colitis by Jing Bao, Bin Ye, Yuhan Ren

“…Upon TNF-α stimulation in the intestinal epithelia cell line, overexpression of ABIN1 significantly inhibits necroptosis in the intestinal inflammation model along with the reduction expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL1B, IL6, IL8, and TNF-α. Blocking RIPK1 by Nec-1s in vivo and in vitro dramatically alleviated the colitis and cell death which shares the same phenotype with ABIN1 overexpression. …”
