1、Small intestine disease,Department of general surgery Yaxu Wang,Chapter 1 Anatomy and Physiology,In this chapter, the normal anatomy and physiology of the small intestine are described, as well as disease processes involving the small bowel, which include: obstruction inflammatory diseases neoplasms
2、,The entire small intestine, which extends from the pylorus to the cecum, measures 300 to 550 cm: duodenal length at about 20 to 35 cm jejunal length at 100 to 110 cm ileal length at 150 to 160 cm.,Chapter 1 Anatomy and Physiology,1.Anatomy 2.Physiology,1.1 Neurovascular-Lymphatic Supply,The small i

The base of the mesentery attaches to the posterior abdominal wall to the left of the second lumbar vertebra and passes obliquely to the right and inferiorly to the right sacroiliac joint.,Chap

Venous drainage of the small bowel parallels the arterial supply, with blood draini

The innervation of the small bowel is provided by both parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, which in turn provide the efferent nerves to the small intestine.,Chapter

The small bowel is primarily responsible for absorption of the dietary components (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), as well as ions, vitamins, and water. Endocrine Funct
10、ion In fact, the small bowel is the largest endocrine organ in the body. Immune Function The small intestine serves as a major immunologic barrier in addition to its important role in digestion and endocrine function. As a result of constant antigenic exposure, the intestine possesses abundant lymph

To deal with the constant barrage of potential toxins and antigens, the gut has evolved into a highly organized and efficient mechanism for antigen processing, humoral immunity, and cellu

Although Crohns disease most comm
13、only affects the end of the small intestine (the ileum) and the beginning of the large intestine (the colon), it may involve any part of the GI tract.,Chapter 2 Inflammatory diseases,1.Crohns Disease,The disease is named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn in 1932.Crohns and a related disease, ulcerative col
14、itis, are the two main disease categories that belong to a larger group of illnesses called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Because the symptoms of these two illnesses are so similar, it is sometimes difficult to establish the diagnosis definitively.,Chapter 2 Inflammatory diseases,1.Crohns Diseas
15、e,Chapter 2 Inflammatory diseases,1.1 Incidence and Epidemiology,Crohns disease is the most common primary surgical disease of the small bowel, with an annual incidence of 3 to 7 cases per 100,000 of the general population; the incidence is highest in North America and Northern Europe. Crohns diseas
16、e primarily attacks young adults in the second and third decades of life. The risk for developing Crohns disease is about two times higher in smokers than in nonsmokers. Although Crohns disease is uncommon in African blacks, blacks in the United States have rates similar to whites. Certain ethnic groups, particularly Jews, have a greater incidence of Crohns disease than do age- and gender-matched control subjects.,1.Crohns Disease,Chapter 2 Inflammatory diseases,1.2 Etiology
