Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The microRNA-326 (miR-326) gene, by targeting ETS Proto-Oncogene 1 (ETS1), regulates the differentiation and interleukin-17A production of T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Celiac disease (CD) is an intestinal autoimmune disorder, in which the cascade of Th17 cells plays an important role in its pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression changes of miR-326 and its two target genes ETS1 and IL-17A in celiac disease patients under a gluten-free diet (GFD). We expected the expression of miR-326 and IL-17A gene to decrease, and the expression of the ETS1 gene to increase, following the adherence to GFD.
Methods: Peripheral blood samples of 40 CD patients under GFD (for more than 1 year) and 40 healthy individuals were collected. RNA was extracted, cDNA was synthesized and the miR-326, ETS1 and IL-17A gene expressions were evaluated by the quantitative polymerase real-time qPCR method. P-value ˂ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Although miR-326 mRNA expression was significantly lower in CD patients (P = 0.001), no significant difference was observed in ETS1 mRNA level between the two groups (P = 0.54), but IL-17A was significantly overexpressed in CD patients (P=0.002). No significant correlation was observed between the expression of the studied genes and the patientsʼ symptoms and Marsh classification.
Conclusion:Adherence to the GFD for one to two years did not have the expected effect on the expression of genes in this panel. The most important finding that contradicted our hypothesis was the observation of high IL-17A levels in CD patients despite dieting, which may be related to the protective effect of this cytokine on intestinal tight junctions, which needs to be confirmed in further studies.

Abstract
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which ingestion of dietary gluten triggers an immune reaction in the small intestine leading to destruction of the lining epithelium. Current treatment focusses on lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Gluten-specific CD4+ T cells and cytotoxic intraepithelial CD8+ T cells have been proposed to be central in disease pathogenesis. Here we use unbiased single-cell RNA-sequencing and explore the heterogeneity of CD45+ immune cells in the human small intestine. We show altered myeloid cell transcriptomes present in active celiac lesions. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells transcriptomes show extensive changes and we define a natural intraepithelial lymphocyte population that is reduced in celiac disease. We show that the immune landscape in Celiac patients on a gluten-free diet is only partially restored compared to control samples. Altogether, we provide a single cell transcriptomic resource that can inform the immune landscape of the small intestine during Celiac disease. Celiac disease is linked to responsiveness to dietary gluten, which manifests itself as immune cell activation and the immunopathology including destruction of the epithelium of the small intestine. Here the authors apply single cell transcriptomics to characterise the immune cell compartment of the human small intestine during active Celiac disease.

Abstract
Celiac disease is an inflammatory disorder of the small intestine caused by sensitivity to gluten. This enteropathy results from the interaction between genetics, autoimmunity, and an environmental trigger (gluten). It can manifest at all ages. We present a case of a 76-year-old woman with nausea and vomiting for six months. She reported asthenia, weight loss, and a brief period of diarrhea without blood or mucus. The search for evidence of infection, tumours, and endocrinopathies was negative, as well as the immunological study, including antibodies for celiac disease. Upper endoscopy with biopsies revealed villous atrophy. Capsule endoscopy showed macroscopic features suggestive of celiac/Whipple’s disease. Duodenal biopsies were reviewed, and Whipple’s disease was considered unlikely. The genetic analysis was positive for HLA DR7-DQ2. After one year on a gluten-free diet, there was a clinical and histological improvement. The diagnosis of seronegative celiac disease is complex and requires the exclusion of other causes of villous atrophy, as well as a histological improvement after one year of treatment. The genetic test has a high negative predictive value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion syndrome and has a multisystemic presentation including gastrointestinal features that have not yet been fully described. Our aim was to examine lifetime gastrointestinal problems in a large cohort of patients with 22q11.2DS. METHODS All patients followed in the 22q and You Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (n = 1421) were retrospectively screened for: 1) age ≥ 17 years, 2) documented chromosomal microdeletion within the 22q11.2 LCR22A-LCR22D region, and 3) sufficient clinical data to characterize the adult gastrointestinal phenotype. Gastrointestinal problems in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood were summarized. Statistical association testing of symptoms against other patient characteristics was performed. RESULTS Included patients (n = 206; 46% female; mean age, 27 years; median follow-up, 21 years) had similar clinical characteristics to the overall cohort. Genetic distribution was also similar, with 96% having deletions including the critical LCR22A-LCR22B segment (95% in the overall cohort). Most patients experienced chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in their lifetime (91%), but congenital gastrointestinal malformations (3.5%) and gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases (1.5%) were uncommon. Chronic symptoms without anatomic or pathologic abnormalities represented the vast burden of illness. Chronic symptoms in adulthood are associated with other chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and psychiatric comorbidities ( P < 0.01) but not with deletion size or physiologic comorbidities ( P > 0.05). One exception was increased nausea/vomiting in hypothyroidism ( P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a common cause of ill health in children and adults with 22q11.2DS. Providers should consider screening for the deletion in patients presenting with FGIDs and associated comorbidities such as neuropsychiatric illness, congenital heart disease, and palatal abnormalities.

Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of related connective tissue disorders consisting of 13 subtypes, each with its own unique phenotypic and genetic variation. The overlap of symptoms and multitude of EDS variations makes it difficult for patients to achieve a diagnosis early in the course of their disease. The most common form, hypermobile type EDS (hEDS) and its variant, hypermobile spectrum disorder (HSD), are correlated with rheumatologic and inflammatory conditions. Evidence is still needed to determine the pathophysiology of hEDS; however, the association among these conditions and their prevalence in hEDS/HSD may be explained through consideration of persistent chronic inflammation contributing to a disruption of the connective tissue. Aberrant mast cell activation has been shown to play a role in disruption of connective tissue integrity through activity of its mediators including histamine and tryptase which affects multiple organ systems resulting in mast cell activation disorders (MCAD). The overlap of findings associated with MCAD and the immune-mediated and rheumatologic conditions in patients with hEDS/HSD may provide an explanation for the relationship among these conditions and the presence of chronic inflammatory processes in these patients. It is clear that a multidisciplinary approach is required for the treatment of patients with EDS. However, it is also important for clinicians to consider the summarized symptoms and MCAD-associated characteristics in patients with multiple complaints as possible manifestations of connective tissue disorders, in order to potentially aid in establishing an early diagnosis of EDS.

Dietary Acid Load in Gluten-Free Diets: Results from a Cross-Sectional Study. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153067.

Abstract
The gluten-free diet (GFD) ensures improvement of clinical symptoms in the vast majority of celiac disease (CD) patients. Despite stable CD rates in many countries, an increasing number of healthy individuals are adopting gluten-free diets, believing that this diet is an inherently healthier choice. The health effects of gluten-free diets are controversial, and a recent study added to the debate by reporting a lower acidogenic potential of this diet. The effects of the GFD on potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP)—two important markers of dietary acid load (DAL)—are poorly understood, and have never been examined in a Western population. Using cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, we estimated DAL in U.S. individuals reporting a GFD and contrasted the results to the general U.S. population consuming gluten and denying special diets. The GFD was associated with significantly lower crude DAL scores, and after adjustments for confounders in multivariate regression, the results remain significant. Yet, our study could not confirm the reported alkalizing properties of the GFD. Although overall DAL scores were significantly lower in the GFD group, they were comparable to Western diets producing 50–75 mEq of acid per day.

Sahin Y, Mermer S. Frequency of celiac disease and distribution of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes among siblings of children with celiac disease. World J Clin Pediatr 2022; 11:351-359.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is a multifactorial disease, but genetic factors play a major role in its etiology. It has been known that human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes are one of the most important predisposing genetic factors. The risk of developing CD in first-degree relatives and especially siblings of celiac patients is quite high because of having the same HLA haplotypes.
AIM To evaluate the frequency of CD and the distribution of the HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes in siblings of celiac patients.
METHODS Patients with biopsy-proven CD and their siblings were included in the study; those who did not have HLA genotyping were excluded from the study. All siblings were on a gluten-containing diet. The HLA genotyping, tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA antibody test, and total IgA test were performed in all participants.
RESULTS A total of 57 celiac patients and their 112 siblings were included in the study. The mean age of celiac patients and siblings were 10.30 ± 3.87 years and 9.90 ± 6.11 years, respectively. HLA-DQ2/DQ8 alleles were detected in 98.2% of patients with CD and 90.2% of siblings of celiac patients. HLA-DQ genotypes were present in all siblings diagnosed with CD. Tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA test was found to be positive in 16 siblings. CD was diagnosed in 12 siblings (10.7%) by intestinal biopsy.
CONCLUSION The prevalence of CD was found to be 10.7% in siblings of celiac patients in our study. One-third of the siblings diagnosed with CD were asymptomatic. We detected HLA-DQ alleles in 98.2% of celiac patients and 100% in siblings diagnosed with CD. In addition, 1 of the 2 siblings was diagnosed with CD 1 year later and the other 4 years later. Therefore, we suggest that siblings of celiac patients should be followed up with clinical findings as well as HLA analysis and serological examination. Since the risk of developing CD is much higher in asymptomatic siblings, we recommend that siblings should be screened for CD even if they are asymptomatic.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of Saudi children with celiac disease (CD) who followed the Ministry of Health’s gluten-free diet (GFD) program. This study involved 66 children with CD (29 boys and 37 girls) from 5 hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health. Socioeconomic characteristics were obtained using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometric indices were measured using a body composition analyzer. Dietary intake was assessed using three 24 h dietary records. The biochemical parameters were determined in the hospitals’ laboratories. According to the findings, the majority of respondents had ages ranging from 10 to 13 years, a father and mother with a university education, a high family income, and 5 to 7 family members. Carbohydrates and protein intake for both genders were significantly higher than the DRI’s recommended dietary intake. However, the majority of nutrients consumed were at levels significantly lower than the DRI. Both genders had normal anthropometric indices, with girls having at significantly higher indices than boys. The biochemical parameters of both genders were comparable and within the normal range, except for vitamin D, which was below the normal range. The most important factors influencing nutritional status were age for both genders, and family income and number of family members for boys. In conclusion, data obtained for nutrient intake, anthropometric indicators, body composition, and biochemical analysis indicated that CD children following the Ministry of Health GFD program have a generally good nutritional status.

Abstract
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the small intestine, and is caused by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Prevalence in the general population ranges from 0·5% to 2%, with an average of about 1%. The development of the coeliac enteropathy depends on a complex immune response to gluten proteins, including both adaptive and innate mechanisms. Clinical presentation of coeliac disease is highly variable and includes classical and non-classical gastrointestinal symptoms, extraintestinal manifestations, and subclinical cases. The disease is associated with a risk of complications, such as osteoporosis and intestinal lymphoma. Diagnosis of coeliac disease requires a positive serology (IgA anti-transglutaminase 2 and anti-endomysial antibodies) and villous atrophy on small-intestinal biopsy. Treatment involves a gluten-free diet; however, owing to the high psychosocial burden of such a diet, research into alternative pharmacological treatments is currently very active.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD, enteropathy) is a genetic autoimmune disease (abnormal immune response that attacks healthy tissues) associated with gluten intolerance. The aim of this study was to evaluate and monitor the nutritional status of CD patients, explore the problems associated with diet planning and dietary adherence among children and adults, and assess the impact of these factors on the persistence of CD symptoms. This study was carried out as part of the project entitled “A gluten-free diet without obstacles—eating well and healthy” (POWR 03.01.00-00-T153/18), conducted in Lublin Voivodeship. The study involved 87 persons, including 23 children younger than 18. At the beginning of the study and after nine months, all adult participants (older than 18) were subjected to a body composition analysis with the SECA mBCA 515 analyzer. During the project, the participants attended three consultations with a dietician. During each visit, the subjects’ body weight, nutritional status and diets were evaluated; their diets were modified, and problems relating to dietary adherence were resolved. The initial body composition analysis revealed a risk of sarcopenic obesity in 30% of adult participants, in particular in women (p = 0.003) older than 45 (p = 0.001). The risk of being underweight was diagnosed in 25% of the subjects, in particular, in women younger than 35 (p = 0.0023) and in participants who had been affected by short stature and underweight in childhood, i.e., before CD diagnosis (p = 0.0024). The analysis demonstrated that patients with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting) of CD were significantly more likely to avoid even accidental exposure to gluten and were more likely to strictly follow GFD recommendations (1.97; 95CI:1.56–2.12, p = 0.0001) and safety guidelines when preparing meals at home (1.76; 95CI: 1.34–192, p = 0.0023). Parents, in particular, parents of toddlers and preschoolers who are at significantly higher risk of CD, adhered strictly to dietary guidelines and did not allow for any exceptions when preparing meals (1.88; 95CI: 1.53–2.09, p = 0.001). Persons at risk of malnutrition were also far less likely to deliberately choose gluten-containing foods (0.74; 95CI: 0.53–0.91, p = 0.021), in particular, patients with Marsh type 3a and 3b classification (p = 0.01) and persons whose intestinal histology scores did not fully improve after switching to a GFD. An assessment of the effectiveness of diet therapy based on the phase angle revealed that dietary recommendations had a positive impact on patients who had been recently diagnosed with CD. In all age groups, the main problem was accidental exposure to gluten, in particular in foods that were not labeled with the crossed grain symbol. A comparative analysis of CDAT questionnaires revealed that dietary advice on eating out significantly improved adherence to a GFD and reduced the frequency of unintentional gluten exposure in all age groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is still underestimated. To close this diagnostic gap, the Health Sicilian Authorities have constituted the "Sicilian Network for CD". AIMS A) To verify the quality of the current diagnostic approach using the data sheet of the Network. B) To evaluate the clinical, serologic and histologic data of new diagnoses in the context of the Network METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the data collection forms of 369 patients with CD from three Centers within the Sicilian Network. All the Centers used a standard data collection form. RESULTS A non-classical CD presentation was more frequent than the classical one, anemia being the most frequent symptom (50%). An IBS-like presentation was found in one third of the cases. A diagnostic delay of about 9 years following the onset of symptoms was observed. Almost half of the patients had not undergone multiple duodenal biopsies; unrecommended CD serology assays were prescribed in 59.9% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS The regional data sheets allowed an assessment of the diagnostic delay. We recorded a frequent use of unrecommended tests prescribed before referring patients to the regional Centers. Updating the education of physicians regarding CD is necessary to avoid unwarranted health expenditure.

Abstract
Abstract
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated illness to gluten exposure in genetically susceptible patients. It is characterized by chronic lymphocytic inflammation of the small bowel leading to villous atrophy and its associated complications. The global prevalence of celiac disease is increasing, due in part to improved screening tests and simplified diagnostic criteria. Novel therapies are being developed and include proteolytic enzymes, sequestering agents, and immunotherapies. A strict gluten-free diet, however, remains the mainstay of treatment. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the epidemiology, definitions, diagnosis, and treatment of celiac disease.

Abstract
Background and Aims We aimed to study the impact of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with celiac disease (CD). Methods We used the National Inpatient Sample 2011-2018 to identify patients aged 18 years and older with a history of CD who presented with AMI using International Classification of Disease Nineth and Tenth Revision codes. Primary outcome of interest was mortality differences in AMI patients with and without CD. Secondary outcomes were in-hospital length of stay, hospital costs, and coronary revascularization. Results A total of 2,287,840 weighted patients were included in this study with a principal diagnosis of AMI. Among this population, 183,027 weighted patients had a history of CD (0.08%), and 2,286,010 weighted patients had AMI without a history of CD (99.92%). Most AMI patients with and without CD were older (69.57 ± 13.21 vs 67.08 ± 13.87 years, respectively) and white (92.55% vs 75.39%, respectively). Patients with AMI and CD were more likely to be female than patients without CD (53.76% vs 38.47%; P < .05). In our study, we found that the difference in hospital charges (adjusted mean difference $2644.7) was lower among AMI and CD; however, length of stay was higher among patients with CD (adjusted mean difference 0.36 day) although they were not statistically significant (P > .05). Both cohorts had higher number of Medicare recipients and lower number of patients who self-pay. Our study also found that smoking was more prevalent among patients with CD, 12.14%, vs patients without CD, 2.51%. Moreover, patients with CD who developed AMI had a lower adjusted odds of mortality than those without CD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.41; P < .05). Patients with CD and AMI also had lower odds of coronary revascularization (aOR 0.80; P < .05). In addition, we found that adults with CD had a lower odds of developing AMI (aOR 0.78; P < .05). Conclusion CD is a chronic disease leading to chronic inflammation and various nutrition-related problems which can lead to increased morbid conditions. However, we found lower odds of AMI among patients with CD, as well as lower mortality and comorbidities related to AMI, thus contradicting previous assumptions.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to explore global epidemiological characteristics of leprosy, and to provide reference for the construction of prevention strategies for leprosy. Computer retrieval of the study on the epidemiology of leprosy from 2010 to 2020 in Web of Science, PubMed, and SCOPUS databases were summarized. The included studies were assessed for the quality of the AHRQ; the proportions of the study indices were meta-analyzed with Stata 16.0. A random effects model was adopted to merge categories, including sex, type, grade 2 deformity (G2D) and age group for meta-analysis. The subgroup analysis used region as a stratification factor to analyze whether there were differences in the indicators. The meta-analysis included 30 studies totaling 11,353 cases. The global pooled proportion of male to female subjects with leprosy was 63% (95% CI 59%, 66%) to 37% (95% CI 34%, 41%), respectively. The pooled multibacillary proportion and paucibacillary proportion were 69% (95% CI 62%, 76%) and 31% (95% CI 24%, 38%), respectively. The pooled grade 2 deformity (G2D) proportion was 22% (95% CI 15%, 30%). Among age groups, the pooled children proportion was 11% (95% CI 8%, 13%), and the pooled adult proportion was 89% (95% CI 87%, 92%). The subgroup analysis indicated that epidemiological indicators varied from country to country. This study suggested that disparities existed between sex, type, grade 2 deformity (G2D) and age group characteristics of leprosy from country to country.

Abstract
Coeliac disease is a systemic disorder characterized by immune-mediated enteropathy, which is caused by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals. The clinical presentation of coeliac disease is highly variable and ranges from malabsorption through solely extra-intestinal manifestations to asymptomatic. As a result, the majority of patients with coeliac disease remain undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or experience a substantial delay in diagnosis. Coeliac disease is diagnosed by a combination of serological findings of disease-related antibodies and histological evidence of villous abnormalities in duodenal biopsy samples. However, variability in histological grading and in the diagnostic performance of some commercially available serological tests remains unacceptably high and confirmatory assays are not readily available in many parts of the world. Currently, the only effective treatment for coeliac disease is a lifelong, strict, gluten-free diet. However, many barriers impede patients' adherence to this diet, including lack of widespread availability, high cost, cross-contamination and its overall restrictive nature. Routine follow-up is necessary to ensure adherence to a gluten-free diet but considerable variation is evident in follow-up protocols and the optimal disease management strategy is not clear. However, these challenges in the diagnosis and management of coeliac disease suggest opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Objectives Methods Results Conclusion Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that is characterized by chronic inflammation of the small intestine. Non-invasive biomarkers, for the diagnosis of celiac disease, can reduce the need of biopsy. Our findings indicate that citrulline and tTG antibody titer are significant biomarkers for the diagnosis of celiac disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autoimmune diseases mostly affect females. Besides hormones, several factors related to chromosome X have been called in action to explain this sex predominance. AREAS COVERED This paper provides an overview on the role of chromosome X (chrX) in explaining why females have higher susceptibility to autoimmunity. The work outlines some essential concepts regarding chrX inactivation, escape from chrX inactivation and the evolutionary history of chrX. In addition, we will discuss the concept of gene escape in immune cells, with examples related to specific X-linked genes and autoimmune diseases. EXPERT OPINION There is growing evidence that many genes present on chrX escape inactivation, and some of them have significant immune-mediated functions. In immune cells of female individuals the escape of these genes is not constant, but the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling this plasticity are not completely understood. Future studies aimed at the characterization of these modifications at single-cell resolution, together with conformational 3D studies of the inactive X chromosome, will hopefully help to fill this gap of knowledge.

Abstract
Coeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder caused by the ingestion of gluten containing foods in genetically susceptible individuals, with a worldwide prevalence of up to 1%. Currently, the only available treatment is a gluten-free diet (GFD). Screening for CD is primarily performed using serum based testing for anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies. Patients must be on a gluten containing diet at the time of testing to ensure an accurate serological result. We investigated the prevalence of a GFD in hospital clinic settings and the general population using survey data to estimate the proportion of CD patients that may be misdiagnosed for CD based on serological tests. Data were collected at clinics of a metropolitan hospital in Sydney, Australia, and the general population. Data from Medicare Benefits Scheme and tTG results from a large Australian private laboratory were reviewed for comparison. Of 778 participants who responded to the survey, 58 (7.5%) were on a GFD. More patients attending the immunology (15.9%) and gastroenterology (12.1%) clinics adopted a GFD than those attending the diabetes (2.6%) or endocrinology (6.1%) clinics, or in the general population (4.3%). More females than males excluded gluten from their diet (p<0.0001). Medicare statistics between 2013 and 2019 demonstrated an increase in CD serological testing; however, tTG data from a private pathology highlighted a stable level of elevated tTG antibodies of 3% of total tests performed. The high number of individuals on a GFD is likely impacting the ability to accurately diagnose CD using serum-based testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of disability and the leading cause of death worldwide. To reduce mortality and morbidity, prevention strategies such as following an optimal diet are crucial. In recent years, low-gluten and gluten-free diets have gained strong popularity in the general population. However, study results on the benefits of a gluten-reduced or gluten-free diet are conflicting, and it is unclear whether a gluten-reduced diet has an effect on the primary prevention of CVD. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of a gluten-reduced or gluten-free diet for the primary prevention of CVD in the general population. SEARCH METHODS We systematically searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science up to June 2021 without language restrictions or restrictions regarding publication status. Additionally, we searched ClinicalTrials.gov for ongoing or unpublished trials and checked reference lists of included studies as well as relevant systematic reviews for additional studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We planned to include randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomised studies of interventions (NRSIs), such as prospective cohort studies, comparing a low-gluten or gluten-free diet or providing advice to decrease gluten consumption with no intervention, diet as usual, or a reference gluten-intake category. The population of interest comprised adults from the general population, including those at increased risk for CVD (primary prevention). We excluded cluster-RCTs, case-control studies, studies focusing on participants with a previous myocardial infarction and/or stroke, participants who have undergone a revascularisation procedure as well as participants with angina or angiographically-defined coronary heart disease, with a confirmed diagnosis of coeliac disease or with type 1 diabetes. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed eligibility of studies in a two-step procedure following Cochrane methods. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB2) and the 'Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions' (ROBINS-I) tool, and the certainty of evidence was rated using the GRADE approach. MAIN RESULTS One RCT and three NRSIs (with an observational design reporting data on four cohorts: Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), Nurses' Health Study (NHS-I), NHS-II, UK Biobank) met the inclusion criteria. The RCT was conducted in Italy (60 participants, mean age 41 ± 12.1 years), two NRSIs (three cohorts, HPFS, NHS-I, NHS II) were conducted across the USA (269,282 health professionals aged 24 to 75 years) and one NRSI (Biobank cohort) was conducted across the UK (159,265 participants aged 49 to 62 years). Two NRSIs reported that the lowest gluten intake ranged between 0.0 g/day and 3.4 g/day and the highest gluten intake between 6.2 g/day and 38.4 g/day. The NRSI reporting data from the UK Biobank referred to a median gluten intake of 8.5 g/day with an interquartile range from 5.1 g/day to 12.4 g/day without providing low- and high-intake categories. Cardiovascular mortality From a total of 269,282 participants, 3364 (1.3%) died due to cardiovascular events during 26 years of follow-up. Low-certainty evidence may show no association between gluten intake and cardiovascular mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for low- versus high-gluten intake 1.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95 to 1.06; 2 NRSIs (3 cohorts)). All-cause mortality From a total of 159,265 participants, 6259 (3.9%) died during 11.1 years of follow-up. Very low-certainty evidence suggested that it is unclear whether gluten intake is associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted HR for low vs high gluten intake 1.00, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.01; 1 NRSI (1 cohort)). Myocardial infarction From a total of 110,017 participants, 4243 (3.9%) participants developed non-fatal myocardial infarction within 26 years. Low-certainty evidence suggested that gluten intake may not be associated with the development of non-fatal myocardial infarction (adjusted HR for low versus high gluten intake 0.99, 95% CI 0.89 to 1.10; 1 NRSI (2 cohorts)). Lowering gluten intake by 5 g/day also showed no association on the primary prevention of non-fatal and fatal myocardial infarction (composite endpoint) in linear dose-response meta-analyses (adjusted HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.06; 1 NRSI (2 cohorts)). Coronary risk factors Type 2 diabetes From a total of 202,114 participants, 15,947 (8.0%) developed type 2 diabetes after a follow-up between 22 and 28 years. There was low-certainty evidence that a lower compared with a higher gluten intake may be associated with a slightly increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes (adjusted HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.22; 1 NRSI (3 cohorts)). Furthermore, lowering gluten intake by 5 g/day may be associated with a slightly increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes in linear dose-response meta-analyses (adjusted HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.16; 1 NRSI (3 cohorts)). Blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein level, body mass index (BMI) After six months of follow-up, very low-certainty evidence suggested that it is unclear whether gluten intake affects systolic blood pressure (mean difference (MD) -6.9, 95% CI -17.1 to 3.3 mmHg). There was also no difference between the interventions for diastolic blood pressure (MD -0.8, 95% CI -5.9 to 4.3 mmHg), low-density lipoprotein levels (MD -0.1, 95% CI -0.5 to 0.3 mmol/L) and BMI (MD -0.1, 95% CI -3.3 to 3.1 kg/m²). No study reported data on adverse events or on other outcomes. Funding sources did not appear to have distorted the results in any of the studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Very low-certainty evidence suggested that it is unclear whether gluten intake is associated with all-cause mortality. Our findings also indicate that low-certainty evidence may show little or no association between gluten intake and cardiovascular mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction. Low-certainty evidence suggested that a lower compared with a higher gluten intake may be associated with a slightly increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes - a major cardiovascular risk factor. For other cardiovascular risk factors it is unclear whether there is a difference between a gluten-free and normal diet. Given the limited findings from this review predominantly based on observational studies, no recommendations for practice can be made.

Nutritional Improvement of Gluten-Free Breadsticks by Olive Cake Addition and Sourdough Fermentation: How Texture, Sensory, and Aromatic Profile Were Affected? Front Nutr 2022; 9:830932. [PMID: 35223958 PMCID: PMC8869757 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.830932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
There is a growing need for gluten-free bakery products with an improved nutritional profile. Currently, gluten-free baked goods deliver low protein, fiber, and mineral content and elevated predicted glycaemic index (pGI). Olive cake (OC), a by-product from virgin olive oil extraction, is an excellent natural source of unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber and bioactive molecules, including polyphenols and tocopherols. In this framework, this study aimed at using two selected lactic acid bacteria and a yeast for increasing the antioxidant features and the phenol profile of the gluten-free breadsticks fortified with OC with the perspective of producing a functional food. Control (CTR) samples were prepared and compared with fermented ones (fCTR). Samples were added with either non-fermented OC (nfOC) or fermented for 12 and 20 h (fOC-12 and fOC-20). Our results showed that the predicted glycemic index (pGI) was influenced by both OC addition and sourdough fermentation. In fact, the lowest value of pGI was found in fOC-12, and hydrolysis index and pGI values of samples with OC (fOC-12 and nfOC) were statistically lower than fCTR. Both OC addition and fermentation improved the total phenol content and antioxidant activity of breadsticks. The most pronounced increase in hardness values was observed in the samples subjected to sourdough fermentation as evidenced both from texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation. Moreover, in most cases, the concentration of the detected volatile compounds was reduced by fermentation. Our work highlights the potential of OC to be upcycled in combination with fermentation to produce gluten-free breadsticks with improved nutritional profile, although additional trials are required to enhance textural and sensory profile.

Abstract
Celiac disease clinical presentation is constantly changing. We set to determine the prevalence of elevated transaminases in newly diagnosed celiac patients and to evaluate this sub-group of patients for associated clinical and laboratory findings and assess their natural course of disease following therapeutic diet initiation. We conducted a prospective-observational study of all newly diagnosed pediatric celiac patients, between August 2016 and April 2018, in a pediatric gastroenterology clinic. Clinical data, anthropometrics, and blood test results were recorded at diagnosis and at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively, of follow-up. We compared patients with normal and elevated transaminases at diagnosis. ALT threshold was set at 24 U/l. Of 125 newly diagnosed celiac patients, 31 (24.8%) had elevated ALT at diagnosis; two (1.6%) with over 3 × ULN. Patients with elevated ALT at diagnosis were significantly younger (mean age 5.5 (SD 3.4) vs. 7.3 (SD 3.7) years, p < 0.01) and more commonly presented with diarrhea (32.3% vs. 14.9%, p = 0.03). Eighty percent of patients with elevated ALT levels normalized their ALT within 3 months and all within 1 year. Following gluten-free diet initiation, patients with elevated ALT had similar clinical course, growth, serology normalization rate, and laboratory results, compared to patients with normal ALT over a 1-year follow-up. A single patient was simultaneously co-diagnosed with celiac disease and autoimmune hepatitis.Conclusion: Clinically significant ALT abnormalities are rare among newly diagnosed pediatric celiac patients. Significant elevations failing to normalize on a gluten-free diet should raise concern of a concomitant primary liver disease and warrant further investigations. What is Known: • Elevated liver enzymes may be an extra-intestinal manifestation of celiac disease. • Reported prevalences of ALT elevations among children with a new diagnosis of celiac disease ranges between 5 and 40%. What is New: • ALT elevations are present in 25% of children with a new diagnosis of celiac disease. • Significant elevations (>3 × ULN) are rare (1.6%). • Elevated liver enzymes are associated with earlier age at diagnosis. • The natural history of patients with elevated liver enzymes at diagnosis is comparable to those without.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this trial, we investigated the effect of a group-based education program on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and quality of life (QOL) in patients with celiac disease (CD). METHOD In the present study, 130 patients with CD who were on a GFD for at least 3 months, randomly assigned to receive group-based education (n = 66) or routine education in the celiac clinic (n = 64) for 3 months. We assessed gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life using the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) questionnaire and SF-36 questionnaire at baseline and 3 months after interventions. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 37.57 ± 9.59 years. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the baseline values. Results showed that the mean score of total GSRS score in the intervention group was significantly lower compared with the control group 3 months post-intervention (p = 0.04). Also, there was a significant difference in the mean score of SF-36 between the two groups 3 months post-intervention (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Results showed that group-based education was an effective intervention in patients with celiac disease to improve gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wheat and other gluten-containing grains are widely consumed, providing approximately 50% of the caloric intake in both industrialised and developing countries. The widespread diffusion of gluten-containing diets has rapidly led to a sharp increase in celiac disease prevalence. This condition was thought to be very rare outside Europe and relatively ignored by health professionals and the global media. However, in recent years, the discovery of important diagnostic and pathogenic milestones has led to the emergence of celiac disease (CD) from obscurity to global prominence. These modifications have prompted experts worldwide to identify effective strategies for the diagnosis and follow-up of CD. Different scientific societies, mainly from Europe and America, have proposed guidelines based on CD's most recent evidence.
AIM To identify the most recent scientific guidelines on CD, aiming to find and critically analyse the main differences.
METHODS We performed a database search on PubMed selecting papers published between January 2010 and January 2021 in the English language. PubMed was lastly accessed on 1 March 2021.
RESULTS We distinguished guidelines from 7 different scientific societies whose reputation is worldwide recognized and representative of the clinical practice in different geographical regions. Differences were noted in the possibility of a no-biopsy diagnosis, HLA testing, follow-up protocols, and procedures.
CONCLUSION We found a relatively high concordance between the guidelines for CD. Important modifications have occurred in the last years, especially about the possibility of a no-biopsy diagnosis in children. Other modifications are expected in the next future and will probably involve the extension of the non-invasive diagnosis to the adult population and the follow-up modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) celiac disease (CeD) guidelines by pediatric gastroenterologists in Australia and New Zealand (Australasia) is unknown. Similarly, long-term management practices for patients with CeD are also unknown in this region. AIMS This study aimed to explore the perceptions and practices of Australasian pediatric gastroenterologists in diagnosing and managing patients with CeD. METHODS Australasian pediatric gastroenterologists and trainees were invited to complete an anonymous online survey over a 3-week period. RESULTS The survey was completed by 28 respondents, 24 from Australia and four from New Zealand. Tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA was the most frequently ordered initial serologic test. Fifteen (54%) respondents relied on duodenal biopsies for the confirmation of CeD, six (21%) followed the ESPGHAN guidelines and the remaining seven offered either biopsy confirmation or no-biopsy diagnosis according to the parents' wishes. Following diagnosis, five (18%) respondents discharged patients from care, three (11%) discharged patients after one follow-up visit, one (4%) reviewed patients for 12 months, six (21%) reviewed patients until celiac antibodies normalized and children were clinically asymptomatic, and 13 (46%) reviewed patients until transition to adult care. CONCLUSION Tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA was the most common initial serologic test ordered by this group of Australasian pediatric gastroenterologists. Half of these physicians rely solely on duodenal biopsy for the confirmation of CeD diagnosis: a minority routinely use the ESPGHAN guidelines. Physicians reported a wide range of CeD follow-up practices.

Diagnostic Accuracy of IgA Anti-Transglutaminase and IgG Anti-Deamidated Gliadin for Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Children under Two Years of Age: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Nutrients 2021; 14:nu14010007.

Abstract
The need of adding the determination of anti-deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) IgG to anti-transglutaminase (TTG) IgA antibodies for diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) in children <2 years of age is controversial. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate, by head-to-head comparison, the diagnostic accuracy of TTG IgA and DGP IgG antibodies. We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases up to January 2021. The diagnostic reference was intestinal biopsy. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of these tests and the odds ratio (OR) between the tests. Fifteen articles were eligible for the systematic review and ten were eligible for the meta-analysis. Sensitivity and specificity were 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.91–0.98) and 0.96 (95% CI, 0.85–0.99) for DGP IgG and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.88–0.97) and 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96–0.99) for TTG IgA, respectively. TTG IgA specificity was significantly higher (OR 9.3 (95% CI, 2.3–37.49); p < 0.001) while the sensitivity of DGP IgG was higher without reaching statistical significance (OR: 0.6 (95% CI, 0.24–1.51); p = 0.28). Both the meta-analysis and the systematic review showed that some children with early CD are missed without the DGP IgG test. In children <2 years of age, TTG IgA is the best CD screening test; however, the addition of DGP IgG may increase the diagnostic sensitivity.

Abstract
Background and Aims: A higher frequency of dyslipidemia is reported in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD). Recently, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) has been associated with better lipid profiles in patients with T1D. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between treatment modality and lipid profile, metabolic control, and body mass index (BMI)-SDS in children with both T1D and CD. Methods: Cross-sectional study in children registered in the international SWEET database in November 2020. Inclusion criteria were children (2–18 years) with T1D and CD with available data on treatment modality (CSII and injections therapy, IT), triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, and BMI-SDS. Overweight/obesity was defined as > +1 BMI-SDS for age. Data were analyzed by linear and logistical regression models with adjustment for age, gender, and diabetes duration. Results: In total 1009 children with T1D and CD (female 54%, CSII 54%, age 13.9 years ±3.6, diabetes duration 7.2 years ±4.1, HbA1c 7.9% ±1.4) were included. Significant differences between children treated with CSII vs. IT were respectively found; HDL 60.0 mg/dL vs. 57.8 mg/dL, LDL 89.4 mg/dL vs. 94.2 mg/dL, HbA1c 7.7 vs. 8.1%, BMI-SDS 0.4 vs. 0.6, overweight and obesity 17% vs. 26% (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: CSII is associated with higher HDL and lower LDL, HbA1c, BMI-SDS, and percentage of overweight and obesity compared with IT in this study. Further prospective studies are required to determine whether CSII improves lipid profile, metabolic control and normalize body weight in children with both T1D and CD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Citrulline is regarded as a biomarker for celiac disease (CD). Its utility for assessment and evaluation of additive predictive value for latent, potential CD and first degree relatives (FDRs) needs exploration. METHOD Consecutive 558 index cases diagnosed as per European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) 2012 guidelines and their 1565 FDRs were evaluated over five and half year period. Serology negative FDRs at initial visit and follow ups were served as controls. HLA typing for DQ2 and DQ8 genotypes, along with plasma and dried blood spot (DBS) filter paper citrulline were evaluated. RESULTS Median plasma citrulline values were 20.1 and 37.33 µMol/l in cases and controls (P < .001). Cut off values for Marsh grade 3a, 3b, and 3c were 35.0, 32.8, 25.26 µMol/l in CD patients and 36.51, 30.10, 25.26 µMol/l in biopsy proven FDR. Increasing trends of plasma citrulline levels with decreasing tTG-IgA levels were observed on follow up. Low plasma citrulline levels were observed with HLA DQ 2.5 genotype (P < .05). Agreement between DBS and plasma citrulline was 94.8%. CONCLUSION Citrulline is a good surrogate biomarker for identification of histopathological grade of damage, extent of mucosal recovery and has negative correlation with tTG-IgA. It identifies the silent and latent phase of CD. DBS citrulline provides adequate information and can be used for monitoring CD patients at remote locations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CeD) is an autoimmune intestinal disorder caused by gluten protein consumption in genetically predisposed individuals. As biopsy sampling is an invasive procedure, finding novel noninvasive serological markers for screening of at-risk CeD population is a priority. Metabolomics is helpful in monitoring metabolite changes in body fluids and tissues. In the present study, we evaluated serum metabolite levels of CeD patients relative to healthy controls with the aim of introducing new biomarkers for population screening. METHOD We compared the serum metabolic profile of CeD patients (n = 42) and healthy controls (n = 22) using NMR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis. RESULT 25 metabolites were identified by serum metabolic profiling. Levels of 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid and isobutyrate showed significant differences in CeD patients' samples compared with healthy controls (p < 0.05). According to pathway analysis, our data demonstrated that changes in nine metabolic pathways were significantly disrupted/affected in patients with CeD. These enriched pathways are involved in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; primary bile acid biosynthesis; nitrogen metabolism; glutamine and glutamate metabolism; valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis and degradation; taurine and hypotaurine metabolism; glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and arginine biosynthesis. CONCLUSION In summary, our results demonstrated that changes in the serum level of 25 metabolites may be useful in distinguishing CeD patients from healthy controls, which have the potential to be considered candidate biomarkers of CeD.

Abstract
Introducción: la enfermedad celíaca (EC) es una patología sistémica inmunomediada por el gluten en la dieta en personas genéticamente susceptibles con un amplio rango de manifestaciones clínicas, respuesta serológica específica y daño variable de la mucosa intestinal. Objetivo: revisar la fisiopatología, manifestaciones clínicas, diagnóstico, tratamiento, seguimiento y pronóstico de la EC, resaltando la importancia de reconocerla y proponer un algoritmo diagnóstico para la población colombiana. Materiales y métodos: revisión crítica de la literatura científica en las bases de datos Medline y buscadores específicos PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, SCIELO, filtrando resultados a revisiones sistemáticas, metaanálisis, ensayos controlados aleatorios, ensayos clínicos y guías, con un total de 1209 artículos, de los cuales se priorizaron 53. Resultados y discusión: la prevalencia de la EC viene en aumento en países en vía de desarrollo. El diagnóstico tiene tres pilares fundamentales: identificación de casos de alto riesgo o sospecha por manifestaciones clínicas, perfil serológico de anticuerpos específicos y hallazgos histológicos característicos. El tratamiento se basa en dieta sin gluten, detección temprana de complicaciones y manejo de las alteraciones nutricionales. Conclusión: en Colombia no existen protocolos de diagnóstico y tratamiento de la EC, como tampoco una legislación clara con respecto al etiquetado de productos libres de gluten. Hay que establecer estrategias para impactar el curso natural de la enfermedad, las morbilidades asociadas y la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited studies on the seronegative celiac disease from the Indian subcontinent. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, pathological, genetic, and clinical profile of patients with seronegative celiac disease. METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology, SMS Hospital, Jaipur, between October 2017 to March 2019. Consecutive patients with seronegative celiac disease with age ≥ 3 years were enrolled for the assessment of demography, clinical features, histological findings, celiac serology, genetic analysis, and response to gluten-free diet. RESULTS Out of total of 312 patients with celiac disease, 13 (4.16 %) patients (median age 25 years [range 5-46 years], 10 female) were diagnosed as having seronegative celiac disease. Presenting symptoms were chronic diarrhea in nine (69.23%), abdominal pain in six (46.15%), weight loss in five (38.46%), and short stature in two (15.38 %) patients. On histological analysis, Marsh stage 2 was seen in five (38.46%), Marsh 3c in two (15.38%), Marsh 3a in three (23.07%), and Marsh 3b in three (23.07%) patients. On HLA analysis, HLA-DQ2.5 was seen in six (46.15%) patients, HLA-DQ2.2 in five (38.46%), and HLA-DQ8 in two (15.38%) patients. CONCLUSION The prevalence of seronegative celiac disease in our study was 4.16%. The most common symptoms were chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain, and the histological grade was Marsh stage 2.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder that affects genetically predisposed individuals who are sensitive to gluten and related proteins. It affects children and adults with increasing prevalence in the older age groups. Both adaptive and innate immune responses play role in CD pathogenesis which results in damage of lamina propria and deposition of intraepithelial lymphocytes. There are other proposed mechanisms of CD pathogenesis like gastrointestinal infections, intestinal microbiota, and early introduction of gluten. The diagnosis of CD is based on clinical symptoms and serological testing, though a majority of cases are asymptomatic, and small intestinal biopsies are required to confirm the diagnosis. Celiac disease is generally associated with other autoimmune diseases, and it is advisable to test these patients for diseases like type 1 diabetes mellitus, Addison’s disease, thyroid diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. The patient with a new diagnosis of CD requires close follow-up after starting treatment to see symptom improvement and check dietary compliance. A newly diagnosed patient is advised to follow with a dietitian to better understand the dietary restrictions as about 20% of patients stay symptomatic even after starting treatment due to noncompliance or poor understanding of diet restrictions. The most effective treatment for CD is a gluten-free diet, but work on non-dietary therapy is in process and few medications are in the clinical trial phase.

Abstract
Oat is among the food crops and ancient grains cultivated and consumed worldwide. It is gaining in popularity owing to its nutritional composition and multifunctional benefits of select bioactive compounds. Beta-glucan is an important component of dietary fiber found in oat grains. It is the major active compound in oats with proven cholesterol-lowering and antidiabetic effects. Oats also provide substantial levels of other bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, tocols, sterols, avenacosides, and avenanthramides. The consumption of oats has been determined to be beneficial for human health by promoting immunomodulation and improving gut microbiota. In addition, oat consumption assists in preventing diseases such as atherosclerosis, dermatitis, and some forms of cancer. While much has been published in relation to oat nutrients and oat fibers and their impact on major diseases, the oat industries and consumers may benefit from greater knowledge and understanding of clinical effects, range of occurrence, distribution, therapeutic doses and food functional attributes of other oat bioactives such as avenanthramides and saponins as well as other anti-inflammatory agents found in the cereal. This review focuses on the various studies relevant to the contribution of the consumption of oats and oat-based products in preventing human diseases and promoting human health.

Abstract
Celiac Disease (CeD) is estimated to currently affect 2 million Americans in the United States. This autoimmune disorder occurs when the consumption of gluten-based products leads to an inflammatory response in the small intestine. Over time, this inflammatory response permanently damages the villi in the small intestine. Celiac disease patients generally present with fatigue, diarrhea, and weight loss due to the disease. The current gold standard for diagnosing CeD is the endoscopy with duodenal biopsy indicating villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia. No FDA-approved medication exists for the treatment of CeD and the only recommended course to alleviate CeD induced symptoms is to abstain from consuming any gluten-based products. There are several clinical trials actively developing and testing pharmacological approaches to treat CeD. Two of the further advanced clinical trials include AT-1001 (Larazotide acetate) and IMGX-003 (Latiglutenase; formerly known as ALV003) therapies. These drugs aim to alleviate celiac disease-induced symptoms using two different approaches. AT-1001 aims to close the villi's tight junctions, while IMGX-003 acts as a gluten endopeptidase that degrades gluten before being absorbed in the small intestine. This review article summarizes the various preclinical research and clinical trials being conducted and specifies the mechanism by which these drugs function.

World J Gastroenterol 2021; 27:6306-6321.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluten is a complex mixture of proteins with immunogenic peptide sequences triggering the autoimmune activity in patients with celiac disease (CeD). Gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) are resistant to gastrointestinal digestion and are then excreted via the stool and urine. Most common detection methods applied in the follow-up visits for CeD patients such as serology tests, dietetic interviews, questionnaires, and duodenal biopsy have been proved to be inefficient, invasive, or inaccurate for evaluating gluten-free diet (GFD) compliance. Determination of excreted GIP in stool and urine has been developed as a non-invasive, direct, and specific test for GFD monitoring.
AIM To summarize published literature about the clinical utility of GIP determination in comparison to the tools employed for GFD monitoring.
METHODS PubMed and Web of Science searches were performed using the keywords “gluten immunogenic peptides” or “gluten immunogenic peptide” and a combination of the previous terms with “feces”, “stools”, “urine”, “celiac disease”, “gluten-free diet”, and “adherence” to identify relevant clinical studies published in English and Spanish between 2012 to January 2021. Reference lists from the articles were reviewed to identify additional pertinent articles. Published articles and abstracts reporting the clinical use of GIP determination in stool and/or urine for the follow-up of patients with CeD in comparison with other tools in use were included. Case reports, commentaries, reviews, conference papers, letters, and publications that did not focus on the aims of this review were excluded.
RESULTS Total of 15 publications were found that involved the use of GIP determination in stool and/or urine to monitor the adherence to the GFD in comparison to other tools. Studies included both children and adults diagnosed with CeD and healthy volunteers. Overall, these preliminary studies indicated that this novel technique was highly sensitive for the detection of GFD transgressions and therefore could facilitate the follow-up of patients with CeD. Tools identified in this work included the CeD-specific serology, dietetic questionnaires, symptomatology, and the duodenal biopsy. Review of the literature revealed that the rates of GFD adherence may vary between 30%-93% using either stool or urine GIP determination, 49%-96% by the serology, 59%-94% using the dietetic questionnaires, 56%-95% by the reported symptoms and 44%-76% with the duodenal biopsy. In addition, the association between the different methods and histological abnormalities (Marsh II-III) was found to be 33%-100% for GIP determination (stool and urine), 25%-39% for CeD-specific serology, 3%-50% for dietetic questionnaires, and 22%-28% for the symptomatology.
CONCLUSION Excreted GIP detection is the precise approach for determining voluntary or involuntary gluten consumption in CeD patients preventing future complications arising from gluten exposure.

Abstract
The advent of immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment of metastatic lung cancer and it has recently been established as the standard of care in the radical treatment of lung cancer. However, immune-related adverse events (IrAEs) frequently occur in patients treated with immunotherapy, and rare IrAEs continue to be identified. We report a case of immunotherapy-induced coeliac disease due to adjuvant durvalumab post-chemoradiotherapy in a patient receiving curative treatment for lung cancer. The patient had raised anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA and histological findings consistent with coeliac disease. This is the first published case report of probable immunotherapy-induced coeliac disease both with the immunotherapy drug durvalumab and in the curative lung cancer setting.

Abstract
An increased intestinal permeability has been described in various gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disorders. Nevertheless, the concept and definition of intestinal permeability is relatively broad and includes not only an altered paracellular route, regulated by tight junction proteins, but also the transcellular route involving membrane transporters and channels, and endocytic mechanisms. Paracellular intestinal permeability can be assessed in vivo by using different molecules (e.g., sugars, polyethylene glycols, 51Cr-EDTA) and ex vivo in Ussing chambers combining electrophysiology and probes of different molecular sizes. The latter is still the gold standard technique for assessing the epithelial barrier function, whereas in vivo techniques, including putative blood biomarkers such as intestinal fatty acid-binding protein and zonulin, are broadly used despite limitations. In the second part of the review, the current evidence of the role of impaired barrier function in the pathophysiology of selected gastrointestinal and liver diseases is discussed. Celiac disease is one of the conditions with the best evidence for impaired barrier function playing a crucial role with zonulin as its proposed regulator. Increased permeability is clearly present in inflammatory bowel disease, but the question of whether this is a primary event or a consequence of inflammation remains unsolved. The gut-liver axis with a crucial role in impaired intestinal barrier function is increasingly recognized in chronic alcoholic and metabolic liver disease. Finally, the current evidence does not support an important role for increased permeability in bile acid diarrhea.

Abstract
Background and Objective: The intercourse between Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma etc. (ESC) and Celiac disease (CD) is still a complicated subject. The purpose of this research was to define the relationship between CD and ESC, and the factors associated with CD in patients with ESC. Methods: This research was conducted by Van University Medical Center in Turkey from 2012 to 2016.CD was identified by analyzing duodenal biopsy materials from 63 ESC patients via histopathologic examinations. Serum samples from the patients were also serologically tested to identify CD. A control group was selected from among subjects who underwent gastroduodenoscopy due to dyspepsia. Distinctions between case characteristics were evaluated with chi-square tests and t-tests for categorical and continuous factors, respectively. Results: Of the 63 study cases, 6 (9.5%) were both histological and serological positive for CD. Of the 290 control group, 8 (2.8%) had histopathological CD and tested positive for celiac antibodies. The patients with ESC had a significantly higher prevalence of CD compared to the dyspeptic patients (p<0.001). In addition, the mean creatinine levels of ESC patients with histopathological-proven CD were higher than those without CD (p=0.026). Furthermore, ESC patients who tested positive for tTg IgA had significantly higher levels of glucose and AST than those who were negative for tTg IgA (p=0.032) and (p=0.008), respectively. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between ESC and CD. Most remarkably, higher creatinine, glucose, and AST levels may predict CD in patients with ESC. These evidences may lead novel approaches for preventing ESC in patients with CD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the present systematic review and meta-analysis study, we aimed to review studies that assessed the prevalence and risk of eating disorders (EDs) in patients with celiac disease (CD) and vice-versa. METHOD We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies that assessed the prevalence and risk of AN in patients with CD and vice-versa. Joanna Briggs Institute tools were used for critical appraisal. The STATA software was used for the meta-analysis of the random-effect model. RESULTS In this study, 23 observational studies were included. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that the pooled prevalence of EDs and bulimia nervosa in patients with CD was 8.88% [95% CI: 6.4, 11.7] and 7.26% [95% CI: 0.23, 21.57], respectively. Moreover, the risk of anorexia nervosa in patients with CD was significantly higher than in the healthy population (relative risk [RR]: 1.48 [95% CI: 1.32, 1.64]). The rates of CD in patients with AN and EDs were 0.96% [95% CI: 0.15, 2.31] and 0.90% [95% CI: 0.56, 1.31], respectively. Moreover, the overall risk of CD in patients with AN was significantly higher compared with healthy adults (RR: 2.35 [95% CI: 1.27-3.44]). DISCUSSION The result of the present meta-analysis showed the high prevalence of EDs in patients with CD. Moreover, there was a significant bidirectional association between CD and EDs.

Abstract
AIMS Coeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder with a prevalence ≤2% that causes an immune reaction to gluten. Growth retardation (GR) generally accompanies CD due to gastrointestinal complications and should be treated as early as possible along with initiation of a gluten-free diet. The aim of this study was to determine the indicators of GR in patients with CD. METHODS This single-centre retrospective study included paediatric outpatients with CD. All patients were diagnosed with CD via serological analysis and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy if necessary. Patient records were obtained from Adana City Training and Research Hospital. Patients that were diagnosed with GR accompanying CD were given oral nutritional supplements and followed-up every 3-6 months. Statistical relationships between demographics, and anthropometric measurements, duration of breastfeeding, gluten contact time, diet duration, presenting complaints and serological findings were evaluated. RESULTS This study included 169 paediatric outpatients between ages 1 and 18. Longer symptom duration and shorter breastfeeding duration were significantly correlated with GR accompanying CD (P = 0.007 and P = 0.029, respectively). Vomiting was the only symptom that was correlated with the presence of GR (P = 0.010). Helicobacter pylori infection was not correlated with the presence of GR (P = 0.277). CONCLUSIONS GR should be treated as early as possible to reduce the severity of CD and a 6 months sole breastfeeding followed by solid foods accompanied by breastfeeding for 2 years is crucial for preventing GR. Moreover, vomiting as a presenting complaint in patients with CD might be indicative of the presence of GR.

Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13093057. [PMID: 34578935 PMCID: PMC8465060 DOI: 10.3390/nu13093057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction & Aim: Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTGA) titer is used during the follow-up of celiac patients to evaluate gluten-free diet (GFD) responsiveness. However, no clear data are available on this issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate tTGA significance during celiac disease (CD) monitoring. Methods: From January 2017 to January 2020, consecutive CD patients on a GFD with persistent positive tTGA were enrolled. Antibody titres were evaluated on a yearly basis from CD diagnosis to the last follow-up. Urinary gluten detection tests, duodenal histology and capsule enteroscopy (CE) were performed. A tTGA-positive cohort was compared with a control group composed of 212 treated CD patients with negative tTGA. Results: 65 patients (12% males, median age at enrollment and CD diagnosis, 37 (14–86) and 31 (1–76), respectively, median follow up 4 (1–26) years) presented with positive tTGA during follow-up. Overall, the tTGA titres were 3 (1–79) fold increased (ULN). Three different tTGA trends were recognized: (I) 36 (55%) patients with a progressive titres decrease; (II) 16 (25%) patients with a fluctuating behavior; (III) 13 (20%) patients with a steady state or increased titres. tTGA+ patients did not present with different clinical and demographic parameters. Duodenal atrophy was present in 10% vs. 36% of the tTGA positive vs. negative group (p < 0.005), respectively. Gluten detection results were positive in 3 (8%) cases, all in the III group. In tTGA+ patients, CE did not identify any CD-related complications. Conclusions: tTGA positivity during CD follow up did not present a relevant clinical significance without association with autoimmune comorbidities and mucosal damage.

Nutrients 2021; 13:2624. [PMID: 34444783 PMCID: PMC8398346 DOI: 10.3390/nu13082624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A lifelong strict gluten-free diet is the only available treatment for celiac disease, but total exclusion of gluten is difficult to achieve. The aim of this study was to determine the range of time and the amount of gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) excreted in urine after specific gluten ingestions. METHODS 20 healthy participants followed the same diet for 12 days in which 50 mg and 2 g of gluten were ingested and all the urinations were collected. GIP were analyzed by lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) tests and quantified using an LFIA reader. RESULTS GIP were detected in 15% and 95% of participants after 50 mg and 2 g gluten intakes, respectively. The higher frequency and concentration of GIP was found between 6 and 9 h after both gluten ingestions. The ranges of detection were 3-12 h (50 mg) and 0-15 h (2 g). CONCLUSIONS An increase in the frequency of urine tests may be a suitable approach to avoid false negative results. The use of the LFIA test in three urine samples collected at different times may show a sensitivity of 19.6% for a gluten ingestion like 50 mg, increasing to 93% after 2 g consumption.
