Intestinal failure: Pathophysiological elements and clinical diseases

Abstract: There are two main functions of gastrointestinal tract, digestion and absorption, and barrier function. The latter has an important defensive effect, which keeps the body away from the invading and damaging of bacteria and endotoxin. It maintains the systemic homeostasis. Intestinal dysfunction would happen when body suffers from diseases or harmful stimulations. The lesser dysfunction of GI tract manifests only disorder of digestion and absorption, whereas the more serious intestinal disorders would harm the … Show more

“…In addition to the enhanced muscle breakdown (11), disturbed protein synthesis or breakdown in gut tissue could potentially play a role in the severity of the response to sepsis. It is known that gut atrophy causes gut dysfunction in sepsis (12). Gut dysfunction is responsible for increased translocation of bacteria from the gut into the bloodstream, and therefore, it contributes to the severity of the septic state.…”

“…The intestinal barrier is effective in preventing the translocation of intestinal bacteria and its toxic products, and thus, it partly plays a role in the maintenance of the homeostasis of a body 6–9 . It is composed of a mechanical barrier created by the epithelium of intestinal mucosa, intestinal immunity, normal intestinal flora and chemical mucus barrier, functioning as a defense against the invasion of endogenous microorganisms 10–13 .…”

“…Before the MODS and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were described in 1990s, Dr Metchnikoff suggested that the entrance of microbes and associated toxins from the bowel into the body was an important cause of early death. 6 Irving and colleagues were the first to describe the pathophysiology and clinical condition called “intestinal failure” in 1980s. 6 …”
